App Logout / Termination Behavior When Changing Bluetooth Settings With and Without Multitasking
I would like to share an issue observed during app development. When changing Bluetooth settings from the system Settings app without using multitasking, the app does not terminate but instead logs the user out. However, when changing Bluetooth settings while using multitasking, the app terminates completely. In this context, I would like to understand: Whether there is any system behavior that causes the app to refresh or restart when Bluetooth settings are changed And why the app behavior differs in a multitasking environment, particularly in terms of app lifecycle handling Any insights into these behaviors would be greatly appreciated.

xcodebuild does not retry UI tests with xcode 26.2
I have ios UI tests that are build with command xcodebuild -workspace ... -scheme ... -configuration ... -derivedDataPath ... -destination ... -testPlan ... build-for-testing Then I run them with xcodebuild -destination ... -resultBundlePath ... -parallel-testing-worker-count ... -xctestrun ... test-without-building I also have following settings in testplan "maximumTestRepetitions" : 3, "testRepetitionMode" : "retryOnFailure", With xcode 16.4 tests were retried on failure up to 3 times, but migrating to xcode 26.2 seems to change this behavior and tests are no longer retried. Is it expected behaviour and I should manually add params like -test-iterations 3 -retry-tests-on-failure into xcodebuild test-without-building command? Here is xcresult - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xHgiZnIK_lptDSUf-fCyEnT9zYubZlCf/view?usp=sharing And testrun file -https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aBi2sTjy8zFYtgYn1KA60T8gwD_OnBCF/view?usp=sharing

how to custom DatePicker Label
I have a custom UI to display date (for user birthday) and want if the user presses each part of the label , the date selection is displayed, the current issue is , when I try to reduce the DatePicker opacity or set the colorMultipli to clear color, it still clickable on the date area, while my object is a fullWidth object, how can I fix it? This is the code: VStack(alignment: .leading, spacing: 8) { Text("Birthday") .font(.SFProText.font(type: .medium, size: 13)) .foregroundStyle(Color(uiColor: .label)) HStack(alignment: .center) { Text(userProfileAccountInfoviewModel.birthday.getShortFormat(format: "dd MMM yyyy")) .font(.SFProText.font(type: .medium, size: 13)) .foregroundColor(Color(uiColor: .label)) .padding(.horizontal, 13) Spacer() } .frame(height: 44) .contentShape(Rectangle()) .overlay { HStack { DatePicker(selection: $userProfileAccountInfoviewModel.birthday, displayedComponents: .date) {} .labelsHidden() .colorMultiply(.clear) .background(Color.clear) .foregroundStyle(Color.baseBackgroundSecondary) .frame(maxWidth: .infinity) .contentShape(Rectangle()) // .opacity(0.011) Spacer() } } .background(Color.baseBackgroundSecondary) .clipShape(RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 4)) }

Liquid glass segment view freezes when dragging handle to a disabled segment
Setup: I have a segment view with 3 segments, and the last on (at index 2) is disabled. Issue: When I drag the liquid glass handle of the segment view from what was previously selected to the disabled segment, the liquid glass handle freezes mid-air. Workaround: I can still interact with the handle and manually restore its position, or tap on any other segment to restore its position. Notes: I'm using UIKit, and no extra customizations are applied. class ViewController: UIViewController { @IBOutlet weak var segmentView: UISegmentedControl! override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() segmentView.removeAllSegments() let segments = ["Option 1", "Option 2", "Option 3"] for (index, title) in segments.enumerated() { segmentView.insertSegment(withTitle: title, at: index, animated: false) } // Select the first one by default segmentView.selectedSegmentIndex = 0 // Disable the last segment segmentView.setEnabled(false, forSegmentAt: 2) } }

For better understanding, I will attach an image. Additionally, I found that YouTube also terminates when the “Allow Tracking” permission is changed in Settings while using the multitasking interface.

Requesting guidance on long-running background BLE control triggered by server-side events
Hello Apple Forums, We are developing an iOS application that connects to a custom BLE accessory and sends control commands to it. Our system architecture is as follows: A separate hardware device collects data and sends it to our backend server via Wi-Fi. The backend evaluates state changes and determines when the BLE accessory should update its display. The iOS app acts purely as a BLE command executor for this accessory. Our goal is to: Maintain a BLE connection with the accessory while the app is in the background. Receive state-change events from our backend server. Upon receiving such events, send a BLE command to the accessory to update its state. We understand that iOS does not allow arbitrary background execution. We would like to confirm whether there is any supported mechanism, entitlement, or program that allows: Long-running background execution for BLE control, or Server-originated events (other than APNs) to trigger background BLE actions. If this is not supported, we would appreciate confirmation that APNs (silent push) is the only supported way to trigger such background BLE actions, or guidance on any recommended alternative architectures. Thank you for your guidance.

SwiftUI iOS 26 .safeAreaBar issue with large navigation title
I have some really straight forward code in a sample project. For some reason when the app launches the title is blurred obscured by scrolledgeeffect blur. If I scroll down the title goes small as it should do and all looks fine. If I scroll back to the top, just before it reaches the top the title goes large and it looks correct, but once it actually reaches/snaps to the top, is then incorrectly blurs again. Is there anything obvious I'm doing wrong? Is this a bug? struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { NavigationStack { ScrollView { VStack { Rectangle().fill(Color.red.opacity(0.2)).frame(height: 200) Rectangle().frame(height: 200) Rectangle().frame(height: 200) Rectangle().frame(height: 200) Rectangle().frame(height: 200) } } .safeAreaBar(edge: .top) { Text("Test") } .navigationTitle(Title") } } }

ML contraints & Timeout clarificaitions for Message Filtering Extension
Hello everyone, I’m currently working with the Message Filtering Extension and would really appreciate some clarification around its performance and operational constraints. While the extension is extremely powerful and useful, I’ve found that some important details are either unclear or not well covered in the available documentation. There are two main areas I’m trying to understand better: Machine learning model constraints within the extension In our case, we already have an existing ML model that classifies messages (and are not dependant on Apple's built-in models). We’re evaluating whether and how it can be used inside the extension. Specifically, I’m trying to understand: Are there documented limits on the size of an ML model (e.g., maximum bundle size or model file size in MB)? What are the memory constraints for a model once loaded into memory by the extension? Under what conditions would the system terminate or “kick out” the extension due to memory or performance pressure? Message processing timeouts and execution constraints What is the timeout for processing a single received message? At what point will the OS stop waiting for the extension’s response and allow the message by default (for example, if the extension does not respond in time)? Any guidance, official references, or practical experience from Apple engineers or other developers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help,

UISegmentedControl tap position misalignment in Xcode 26 with UIDesignRequiresCompatibility enabled
Environment macOS 15.7.3 Xcode 26.1.1 / 26.2 iOS 18.5 / 26.2 iPhone 16 Pro Simulator and physical device Problem Description When tapping an unselected UISegmentedControl, the selected segment does not match the tapped position. Specifically, tapping the rightmost segment (index: 3) results in the leftmost segment (index: 0) being selected instead. Conditions for Reproduction This issue occurs when all of the following conditions are met: Built with Xcode 26.x UIDesignRequiresCompatibility is set to YES in Info.plist UISegmentedControl is positioned using Auto Layout with leading alignment Segments are added dynamically using insertSegment(withTitle:at:animated:) Note: The issue does not occur when segments are defined statically in Storyboard. Steps to Reproduce Create a subclass of UISegmentedControl that dynamically sets segments: class CustomSegmentedControl: UISegmentedControl { func setSegments(titles: [String]) { removeAllSegments() titles.forEach { title in insertSegment(withTitle: title, at: numberOfSegments, animated: false) } } } In the ViewController, configure the control: override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() segmentedControl.setSegments(titles: ["Item A", "Item B", "Item C", "Item D"]) segmentedControl.selectedSegmentIndex = UISegmentedControl.noSegment } Set UIDesignRequiresCompatibility to YES in Info.plist: <key>UIDesignRequiresCompatibility</key> <true/> Run the app and tap the rightmost segment ("Item D") Expected vs Actual Behavior Expected Actual Tap rightmost segment "Item D" (index: 3) is selected "Item A" (index: 0) is selected What I Tried (Did Not Work) Calling layoutIfNeeded() after adding segments: segmentedControl.setSegments(titles: ["Item A", "Item B", "Item C", "Item D"]) segmentedControl.layoutIfNeeded() // No effect Workarounds Set UIDesignRequiresCompatibility to NO (enables Liquid Glass design) Define segments statically in Storyboard instead of dynamically Sample Project Minimal reproduction project is available here: https://github.com/CH3COOH/Samples/tree/master/SampleSelectSegmentedControl Feedback Assistant This issue has been reported via Feedback Assistant: FB21712773 Has anyone else encountered this issue or found alternative workarounds?

SwiftUI: UNUserNotificationCenter delegate not called on cold start when opening notification
I'm sending local push notifications and want to show specific content based on the id of any notification the user opens. I'm able to do this with no issues when the app is already running in the background using the code below. final class AppDelegate: NSObject, UIApplicationDelegate, UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate { let container = AppContainer() func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]? = nil) -> Bool { let center = UNUserNotificationCenter.current() center.delegate = self return true } func userNotificationCenter(_ center: UNUserNotificationCenter, didReceive response: UNNotificationResponse, withCompletionHandler completionHandler: () -> Void) { container.notifications.handleResponse(response) completionHandler() } } However, the delegate never fires if the app was terminated before the user taps the notification. I'm looking for a way to fix this without switching my app lifecycle to UIKit. This is a SwiftUI lifecycle app using UIApplicationDelegateAdaptor. @main struct MyApp: App { @UIApplicationDelegateAdaptor(AppDelegate.self) var appDelegate var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() } } } I’m aware notification responses may be delivered via launchOptions on cold start, but I’m unsure how to bridge that cleanly into a SwiftUI lifecycle app without reverting to UIKit.

Mobile App OIDC/SAML Login Failures and ITP
We operate a native iOS app that authenticates users via the system browser using OIDC against a 3rd party SaaS authentication broker, which then performs authentication against the individual customer IdPs using SAML within the browser session, and then completes the OIDC login between the broker and our application. Our application initiates the OIDC login using ASWebAuthenticationSession, using the broker’s library, against the broker, and at that point the authentication workflow is handled by the broker. At the beginning of the login session, the broker sets a session-identifying cookie for their domain, before redirecting the user to their company’s identity provider to authenticate, which then redirects the user back to the broker. Intermittently, Mobile Safari does not include that previously set cookie on the final communication with the broker, when being redirected from the IdP as the final step of the SAML portion of the login workflow. When the cookie is missing, the broker cannot correlate the authentication response to the original request and the login fails, even though the user successfully authenticated at their identity provider. The same user can sometimes find success after retrying on the same device minutes later, without any changes. When we first started diagnosing this issue, we were seeing about a 20% rate of these errors across all Mobile Safari logins, which we can identify fairly conclusively (from provider logs, based on their guidance) as being caused by the session cookie set in one request not being provided on the subsequent request to the same domain. Our authentication broker provider has indicated, based on their server logs, and logs from an affected device, that this behavior is caused by Mobile Safari’s Intelligent Tracking Protection (ITP) causing Mobile Safari to not send the login session cookie to the broker when handling the SAML redirect from the IdP back to them. Our authentication broker provider recommended that we switch the SAML Request binding setting from POST to Redirect in the SAML configurations against our customer IdPs, which reduced the rate of these errors to about 5% for most of our customers. However, we have at least one customer which is still seeing about a 20% rate in these errors for Mobile Safari logins after this change, and even a 5% error rate seems high. Our authentication broker has not been able to suggest any further remediation options, and has suggested we contact Apple for assistance. Our questions are: Is it reasonable to assume that ITP is causing this issue? Is there any way to confirm, conclusively, that ITP has caused a previously-set cookie to not be provided on a subsequent request to the same domain, i.e. via device logs? If so, are there any steps which can be taken to reduce or eliminate this error? Changes to how ASWebAuthenticationSession is invoked? Changes to the Authentication Broker which would reduce the chance of ITP being triggered? Changes to the Customer IdP configuration which would reduce the chance of ITP being triggered?

[iOS26]UITableView drag bug
I encountered a bug with drag-and-drop sorting in ios 26. I created a UITableView for dragging and dropping to adjust the order of the list. However, when I set the height of the cells to a custom height, some cells were not displayed during the dragging process. The tools I use are the official version of Xcode16.1 and the ios 26 emulator And I can also reproduce the same problem on the real device. class ViewController: UIViewController { private let tableView: UITableView = { let tableView = UITableView.init(frame: .zero, style: .grouped) tableView.backgroundColor = .clear tableView.estimatedSectionHeaderHeight = 50 tableView.isEditing = true tableView.showsVerticalScrollIndicator = false tableView.allowsSelectionDuringEditing = true return tableView }() var content: [Int] = [] override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() tableView.register(FTWatchGroupPageCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: "FTWatchGroupPageCell") tableView.delegate = self tableView.dataSource = self view.addSubview(tableView) for i in 1...100 { content.append(i) } tableView.reloadData() } override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() { super.viewDidLayoutSubviews() var frame = view.bounds frame.origin.y = 200 frame.size.height = frame.size.height - 200 tableView.frame = frame } } extension ViewController: UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource { func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int { return content.count } func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell { let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "FTWatchGroupPageCell", for: indexPath) as!

com.apple.devicecheck.error - 3: Error Domain=com.apple.devicecheck.error Code=3 "(null)"
Hi, In our app we are using DeviceCheck (App Attest) in a production environment iOS. The service works correctly for most users, but a user reported failure in a flow that use device check service. This failure is not intermittently, it is constant. We are unable to reproduce this failure and we are believing that this failure occurred by new version ios 26.3 because for others users using early versions the service is normally. Environment iOS 26.3 Real device App Attest capability enabled Correct App ID, Team ID and App Attest entitlement Production environment Characteristics: appears constantly affects only unique user -Don't resolves after time or reinstall not reproducible on our test devices NSError contains no additional diagnostic info (Error Domain=com.apple.devicecheck.error Code=3 "(null)") We saw about this error code 3 in this post 812308, but it's not our case because the ios version in this case is not iOS 17.0 or earlier. Please, help us any guidance for solution. Thank you

App Store Rejection Under Guideline 4.2 (Minimum Functionality) – Hybrid Capacitor App With Native iOS Features and External Booking System
Summary I am seeking clarification regarding an App Store rejection under Guideline 4.2 – Design – Minimum Functionality, specifically around expectations for booking and payment flows in apps that rely on third-party, industry-standard reservation platforms. This app is a production application for a licensed transportation (black car / limo) service. It includes multiple native iOS features implemented via Capacitor and custom Swift plugins. However, the booking and payment flow depends on a third-party transportation platform (RideBits) that does not currently support deep linking with prefilled parameters or programmatic booking APIs. Before committing to a significant architectural change, I am hoping to understand whether Apple’s expectation under Guideline 4.2 is that all transactional booking and payment flows must be fully native and controlled by the app developer, even when third-party systems are operationally required. ⸻ App Context The app is designed for a real transportation business and is not a content, marketing, or browsing application. It is purpose-built for trip booking, pickup coordination, and customer interaction. The third-party platform (RideBits) handles: • Dispatch and driver assignment • Vehicle inventory and pricing rules • Payment processing • Trip lifecycle management This platform is central to business operations and is commonly used in this industry. ⸻ Native Functionality Implemented The app includes meaningful native iOS functionality beyond web content, including: • Native Core Location access (with permission handling) • Native reverse geocoding using CLGeocoder via a custom Swift Capacitor plugin • Native clipboard integration • Native iOS share sheet integration • Apple Maps deep linking • Custom CAPBridgeViewController with explicit plugin registration All native plugins were verified at runtime and tested on physical devices and simulators. ⸻ Booking Flow Constraint The third-party platform does not currently support: • Deep links with prefilled booking parameters • Passing pickup/dropoff data via URL • Native SDK embedding • APIs for programmatic booking creation As a result, even when pickup data is collected natively, users must re-enter details within the booking flow. ⸻ App Review Outcome Despite adding additional native functionality, the app was rejected again under Guideline 4.2, with feedback stating the experience is not sufficiently differentiated from web browsing and that features such as Core Location or sharing alone are not robust enough. ⸻ Clarification Requested I am hoping to better understand Apple’s expectations in this scenario: 1. Is Apple’s expectation that core booking and payment flows must be fully native to satisfy Guideline 4.2, regardless of industry-standard third-party dependencies? 2. Would an app be considered acceptable if the booking UI is native, but final transaction submission occurs through a third-party system? 3. Are there known precedents for service or transportation apps using third-party booking platforms that have successfully passed review? 4. Is the issue primarily technical (missing native features), or conceptual (core value relies on an external flow)? ⸻ Purpose of This Post Before undertaking a major rebuild of pricing, payments, and booking logic in-house, I want to ensure there is no App Store–acceptable architecture that allows: • Meaningful native functionality, and • Continued use of a third-party operational booking platform. Any guidance or shared experience would be greatly appreciated.

URL.startAccessingSecurityScopedResource() returns false for "On My iPad" after a while
My app allows to save user-selected URLs in a list and browse them with a tap. A user reported that the app often shows that when browsing their saved entry for "On My iPad", it's apparently empty (it contains no files). I saved "On My iPad" in my own list some time ago and noticed that the same issue occurs. The URL seems to be correctly resolved from the saved bookmark data, but I noticed that url.startAccessingSecurityScopedResource() returns false. The other URL I saved some time ago is iCloud Drive, which I can access without issues. If I select "On My iPad" again in a file importer, create new bookmark data from it and resolve the URL from it, access works correctly. I create bookmark data like this: let data = try url.bookmarkData(includingResourceValuesForKeys: [.localizedNameKey, .pathKey, .volumeIsLocalKey]) and resolve URLs like this: let url = try URL(resolvingBookmarkData: data, bookmarkDataIsStale: &bookmarkDataIsStale) bookmarkDataIsStale is false for both the working and not working URLs for "On My iPad". The two bookmark data are different though, even if url.path is the same. What could be the issue?

App Logout / Termination Behavior When Changing Bluetooth Settings With and Without Multitasking
I would like to share an issue observed during app development. When changing Bluetooth settings from the system Settings app without using multitasking, the app does not terminate but instead logs the user out. However, when changing Bluetooth settings while using multitasking, the app terminates completely. In this context, I would like to understand: Whether there is any system behavior that causes the app to refresh or restart when Bluetooth settings are changed And why the app behavior differs in a multitasking environment, particularly in terms of app lifecycle handling Any insights into these behaviors would be greatly appreciated.

xcodebuild does not retry UI tests with xcode 26.2
I have ios UI tests that are build with command xcodebuild -workspace ... -scheme ... -configuration ... -derivedDataPath ... -destination ... -testPlan ... build-for-testing Then I run them with xcodebuild -destination ... -resultBundlePath ... -parallel-testing-worker-count ... -xctestrun ... test-without-building I also have following settings in testplan "maximumTestRepetitions" : 3, "testRepetitionMode" : "retryOnFailure", With xcode 16.4 tests were retried on failure up to 3 times, but migrating to xcode 26.2 seems to change this behavior and tests are no longer retried. Is it expected behaviour and I should manually add params like -test-iterations 3 -retry-tests-on-failure into xcodebuild test-without-building command? Here is xcresult - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xHgiZnIK_lptDSUf-fCyEnT9zYubZlCf/view?usp=sharing And testrun file -https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aBi2sTjy8zFYtgYn1KA60T8gwD_OnBCF/view?usp=sharing

how to custom DatePicker Label
I have a custom UI to display date (for user birthday) and want if the user presses each part of the label , the date selection is displayed, the current issue is , when I try to reduce the DatePicker opacity or set the colorMultipli to clear color, it still clickable on the date area, while my object is a fullWidth object, how can I fix it? This is the code: VStack(alignment: .leading, spacing: 8) { Text("Birthday") .font(.SFProText.font(type: .medium, size: 13)) .foregroundStyle(Color(uiColor: .label)) HStack(alignment: .center) { Text(userProfileAccountInfoviewModel.birthday.getShortFormat(format: "dd MMM yyyy")) .font(.SFProText.font(type: .medium, size: 13)) .foregroundColor(Color(uiColor: .label)) .padding(.horizontal, 13) Spacer() } .frame(height: 44) .contentShape(Rectangle()) .overlay { HStack { DatePicker(selection: $userProfileAccountInfoviewModel.birthday, displayedComponents: .date) {} .labelsHidden() .colorMultiply(.clear) .background(Color.clear) .foregroundStyle(Color.baseBackgroundSecondary) .frame(maxWidth: .infinity) .contentShape(Rectangle()) // .opacity(0.011) Spacer() } } .background(Color.baseBackgroundSecondary) .clipShape(RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 4)) }

Liquid glass segment view freezes when dragging handle to a disabled segment
Setup: I have a segment view with 3 segments, and the last on (at index 2) is disabled. Issue: When I drag the liquid glass handle of the segment view from what was previously selected to the disabled segment, the liquid glass handle freezes mid-air. Workaround: I can still interact with the handle and manually restore its position, or tap on any other segment to restore its position. Notes: I'm using UIKit, and no extra customizations are applied. class ViewController: UIViewController { @IBOutlet weak var segmentView: UISegmentedControl! override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() segmentView.removeAllSegments() let segments = ["Option 1", "Option 2", "Option 3"] for (index, title) in segments.enumerated() { segmentView.insertSegment(withTitle: title, at: index, animated: false) } // Select the first one by default segmentView.selectedSegmentIndex = 0 // Disable the last segment segmentView.setEnabled(false, forSegmentAt: 2) } }

App Logout / Termination Behavior When Changing Bluetooth Settings With and Without Multitasking
I would like to share an issue observed during app development. When changing Bluetooth settings from the system Settings app without using multitasking, the app does not terminate but instead logs the user out. However, when changing Bluetooth settings while using multitasking, the app terminates completely. In this context, I would like to understand: Whether there is any system behavior that causes the app to refresh or restart when Bluetooth settings are changed And why the app behavior differs in a multitasking environment, particularly in terms of app lifecycle handling Any insights into these behaviors would be greatly appreciated. “while using multitasking” means reducing the app’s size and displaying it side by side with the Settings screen at the same time. For better understanding, I will attach an image. Additionally, I found that YouTube also terminates when the “Allow Tracking” permission is changed in Settings while using the multitasking interface.

Requesting guidance on long-running background BLE control triggered by server-side events
Hello Apple Forums, We are developing an iOS application that connects to a custom BLE accessory and sends control commands to it. Our system architecture is as follows: A separate hardware device collects data and sends it to our backend server via Wi-Fi. The backend evaluates state changes and determines when the BLE accessory should update its display. The iOS app acts purely as a BLE command executor for this accessory. Our goal is to: Maintain a BLE connection with the accessory while the app is in the background. Receive state-change events from our backend server. Upon receiving such events, send a BLE command to the accessory to update its state. We understand that iOS does not allow arbitrary background execution. We would like to confirm whether there is any supported mechanism, entitlement, or program that allows: Long-running background execution for BLE control, or Server-originated events (other than APNs) to trigger background BLE actions. If this is not supported, we would appreciate confirmation that APNs (silent push) is the only supported way to trigger such background BLE actions, or guidance on any recommended alternative architectures. Thank you for your guidance.

SwiftUI iOS 26 .safeAreaBar issue with large navigation title
I have some really straight forward code in a sample project. For some reason when the app launches the title is blurred obscured by scrolledgeeffect blur. If I scroll down the title goes small as it should do and all looks fine. If I scroll back to the top, just before it reaches the top the title goes large and it looks correct, but once it actually reaches/snaps to the top, is then incorrectly blurs again. Is there anything obvious I'm doing wrong? Is this a bug? struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { NavigationStack { ScrollView { VStack { Rectangle().fill(Color.red.opacity(0.2)).frame(height: 200) Rectangle().frame(height: 200) Rectangle().frame(height: 200) Rectangle().frame(height: 200) Rectangle().frame(height: 200) } } .safeAreaBar(edge: .top) { Text("Test") } .navigationTitle(Title") } } }

ML contraints & Timeout clarificaitions for Message Filtering Extension
Hello everyone, I’m currently working with the Message Filtering Extension and would really appreciate some clarification around its performance and operational constraints. While the extension is extremely powerful and useful, I’ve found that some important details are either unclear or not well covered in the available documentation. There are two main areas I’m trying to understand better: Machine learning model constraints within the extension In our case, we already have an existing ML model that classifies messages (and are not dependant on Apple's built-in models). We’re evaluating whether and how it can be used inside the extension. Specifically, I’m trying to understand: Are there documented limits on the size of an ML model (e.g., maximum bundle size or model file size in MB)? What are the memory constraints for a model once loaded into memory by the extension? Under what conditions would the system terminate or “kick out” the extension due to memory or performance pressure? Message processing timeouts and execution constraints What is the timeout for processing a single received message? At what point will the OS stop waiting for the extension’s response and allow the message by default (for example, if the extension does not respond in time)? Any guidance, official references, or practical experience from Apple engineers or other developers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help,

UISegmentedControl tap position misalignment in Xcode 26 with UIDesignRequiresCompatibility enabled
Environment macOS 15.7.3 Xcode 26.1.1 / 26.2 iOS 18.5 / 26.2 iPhone 16 Pro Simulator and physical device Problem Description When tapping an unselected UISegmentedControl, the selected segment does not match the tapped position. Specifically, tapping the rightmost segment (index: 3) results in the leftmost segment (index: 0) being selected instead. Conditions for Reproduction This issue occurs when all of the following conditions are met: Built with Xcode 26.x UIDesignRequiresCompatibility is set to YES in Info.plist UISegmentedControl is positioned using Auto Layout with leading alignment Segments are added dynamically using insertSegment(withTitle:at:animated:) Note: The issue does not occur when segments are defined statically in Storyboard. Steps to Reproduce Create a subclass of UISegmentedControl that dynamically sets segments: class CustomSegmentedControl: UISegmentedControl { func setSegments(titles: [String]) { removeAllSegments() titles.forEach { title in insertSegment(withTitle: title, at: numberOfSegments, animated: false) } } } In the ViewController, configure the control: override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() segmentedControl.setSegments(titles: ["Item A", "Item B", "Item C", "Item D"]) segmentedControl.selectedSegmentIndex = UISegmentedControl.noSegment } Set UIDesignRequiresCompatibility to YES in Info.plist: <key>UIDesignRequiresCompatibility</key> <true/> Run the app and tap the rightmost segment ("Item D") Expected vs Actual Behavior Expected Actual Tap rightmost segment "Item D" (index: 3) is selected "Item A" (index: 0) is selected What I Tried (Did Not Work) Calling layoutIfNeeded() after adding segments: segmentedControl.setSegments(titles: ["Item A", "Item B", "Item C", "Item D"]) segmentedControl.layoutIfNeeded() // No effect Workarounds Set UIDesignRequiresCompatibility to NO (enables Liquid Glass design) Define segments statically in Storyboard instead of dynamically Sample Project Minimal reproduction project is available here: https://github.com/CH3COOH/Samples/tree/master/SampleSelectSegmentedControl Feedback Assistant This issue has been reported via Feedback Assistant: FB21712773 Has anyone else encountered this issue or found alternative workarounds?

SwiftUI: UNUserNotificationCenter delegate not called on cold start when opening notification
I'm sending local push notifications and want to show specific content based on the id of any notification the user opens. I'm able to do this with no issues when the app is already running in the background using the code below. final class AppDelegate: NSObject, UIApplicationDelegate, UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate { let container = AppContainer() func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]? = nil) -> Bool { let center = UNUserNotificationCenter.current() center.delegate = self return true } func userNotificationCenter(_ center: UNUserNotificationCenter, didReceive response: UNNotificationResponse, withCompletionHandler completionHandler: () -> Void) { container.notifications.handleResponse(response) completionHandler() } } However, the delegate never fires if the app was terminated before the user taps the notification. I'm looking for a way to fix this without switching my app lifecycle to UIKit. This is a SwiftUI lifecycle app using UIApplicationDelegateAdaptor. @main struct MyApp: App { @UIApplicationDelegateAdaptor(AppDelegate.self) var appDelegate var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() } } } I’m aware notification responses may be delivered via launchOptions on cold start, but I’m unsure how to bridge that cleanly into a SwiftUI lifecycle app without reverting to UIKit.

Mobile App OIDC/SAML Login Failures and ITP
We operate a native iOS app that authenticates users via the system browser using OIDC against a 3rd party SaaS authentication broker, which then performs authentication against the individual customer IdPs using SAML within the browser session, and then completes the OIDC login between the broker and our application. Our application initiates the OIDC login using ASWebAuthenticationSession, using the broker’s library, against the broker, and at that point the authentication workflow is handled by the broker. At the beginning of the login session, the broker sets a session-identifying cookie for their domain, before redirecting the user to their company’s identity provider to authenticate, which then redirects the user back to the broker. Intermittently, Mobile Safari does not include that previously set cookie on the final communication with the broker, when being redirected from the IdP as the final step of the SAML portion of the login workflow. When the cookie is missing, the broker cannot correlate the authentication response to the original request and the login fails, even though the user successfully authenticated at their identity provider. The same user can sometimes find success after retrying on the same device minutes later, without any changes. When we first started diagnosing this issue, we were seeing about a 20% rate of these errors across all Mobile Safari logins, which we can identify fairly conclusively (from provider logs, based on their guidance) as being caused by the session cookie set in one request not being provided on the subsequent request to the same domain. Our authentication broker provider has indicated, based on their server logs, and logs from an affected device, that this behavior is caused by Mobile Safari’s Intelligent Tracking Protection (ITP) causing Mobile Safari to not send the login session cookie to the broker when handling the SAML redirect from the IdP back to them. Our authentication broker provider recommended that we switch the SAML Request binding setting from POST to Redirect in the SAML configurations against our customer IdPs, which reduced the rate of these errors to about 5% for most of our customers. However, we have at least one customer which is still seeing about a 20% rate in these errors for Mobile Safari logins after this change, and even a 5% error rate seems high. Our authentication broker has not been able to suggest any further remediation options, and has suggested we contact Apple for assistance. Our questions are: Is it reasonable to assume that ITP is causing this issue? Is there any way to confirm, conclusively, that ITP has caused a previously-set cookie to not be provided on a subsequent request to the same domain, i.e. via device logs? If so, are there any steps which can be taken to reduce or eliminate this error? Changes to how ASWebAuthenticationSession is invoked? Changes to the Authentication Broker which would reduce the chance of ITP being triggered? Changes to the Customer IdP configuration which would reduce the chance of ITP being triggered?

[iOS26]UITableView drag bug
I encountered a bug with drag-and-drop sorting in ios 26. I created a UITableView for dragging and dropping to adjust the order of the list. However, when I set the height of the cells to a custom height, some cells were not displayed during the dragging process. The tools I use are the official version of Xcode16.1 and the ios 26 emulator And I can also reproduce the same problem on the real device. class ViewController: UIViewController { private let tableView: UITableView = { let tableView = UITableView.init(frame: .zero, style: .grouped) tableView.backgroundColor = .clear tableView.estimatedSectionHeaderHeight = 50 tableView.isEditing = true tableView.showsVerticalScrollIndicator = false tableView.allowsSelectionDuringEditing = true return tableView }() var content: [Int] = [] override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() tableView.register(FTWatchGroupPageCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: "FTWatchGroupPageCell") tableView.delegate = self tableView.dataSource = self view.addSubview(tableView) for i in 1...100 { content.append(i) } tableView.reloadData() } override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() { super.viewDidLayoutSubviews() var frame = view.bounds frame.origin.y = 200 frame.size.height = frame.size.height - 200 tableView.frame = frame } } extension ViewController: UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource { func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int { return content.count } func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell { let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "FTWatchGroupPageCell", for: indexPath) as!

com.apple.devicecheck.error - 3: Error Domain=com.apple.devicecheck.error Code=3 "(null)"
Hi, In our app we are using DeviceCheck (App Attest) in a production environment iOS. The service works correctly for most users, but a user reported failure in a flow that use device check service. This failure is not intermittently, it is constant. We are unable to reproduce this failure and we are believing that this failure occurred by new version ios 26.3 because for others users using early versions the service is normally. Environment iOS 26.3 Real device App Attest capability enabled Correct App ID, Team ID and App Attest entitlement Production environment Characteristics: appears constantly affects only unique user -Don't resolves after time or reinstall not reproducible on our test devices NSError contains no additional diagnostic info (Error Domain=com.apple.devicecheck.error Code=3 "(null)") We saw about this error code 3 in this post 812308, but it's not our case because the ios version in this case is not iOS 17.0 or earlier. Please, help us any guidance for solution. Thank you

App Store Rejection Under Guideline 4.2 (Minimum Functionality) – Hybrid Capacitor App With Native iOS Features and External Booking System
Summary I am seeking clarification regarding an App Store rejection under Guideline 4.2 – Design – Minimum Functionality, specifically around expectations for booking and payment flows in apps that rely on third-party, industry-standard reservation platforms. This app is a production application for a licensed transportation (black car / limo) service. It includes multiple native iOS features implemented via Capacitor and custom Swift plugins. However, the booking and payment flow depends on a third-party transportation platform (RideBits) that does not currently support deep linking with prefilled parameters or programmatic booking APIs. Before committing to a significant architectural change, I am hoping to understand whether Apple’s expectation under Guideline 4.2 is that all transactional booking and payment flows must be fully native and controlled by the app developer, even when third-party systems are operationally required. ⸻ App Context The app is designed for a real transportation business and is not a content, marketing, or browsing application. It is purpose-built for trip booking, pickup coordination, and customer interaction. The third-party platform (RideBits) handles: • Dispatch and driver assignment • Vehicle inventory and pricing rules • Payment processing • Trip lifecycle management This platform is central to business operations and is commonly used in this industry. ⸻ Native Functionality Implemented The app includes meaningful native iOS functionality beyond web content, including: • Native Core Location access (with permission handling) • Native reverse geocoding using CLGeocoder via a custom Swift Capacitor plugin • Native clipboard integration • Native iOS share sheet integration • Apple Maps deep linking • Custom CAPBridgeViewController with explicit plugin registration All native plugins were verified at runtime and tested on physical devices and simulators. ⸻ Booking Flow Constraint The third-party platform does not currently support: • Deep links with prefilled booking parameters • Passing pickup/dropoff data via URL • Native SDK embedding • APIs for programmatic booking creation As a result, even when pickup data is collected natively, users must re-enter details within the booking flow. ⸻ App Review Outcome Despite adding additional native functionality, the app was rejected again under Guideline 4.2, with feedback stating the experience is not sufficiently differentiated from web browsing and that features such as Core Location or sharing alone are not robust enough. ⸻ Clarification Requested I am hoping to better understand Apple’s expectations in this scenario: 1. Is Apple’s expectation that core booking and payment flows must be fully native to satisfy Guideline 4.2, regardless of industry-standard third-party dependencies? 2. Would an app be considered acceptable if the booking UI is native, but final transaction submission occurs through a third-party system? 3. Are there known precedents for service or transportation apps using third-party booking platforms that have successfully passed review? 4. Is the issue primarily technical (missing native features), or conceptual (core value relies on an external flow)? ⸻ Purpose of This Post Before undertaking a major rebuild of pricing, payments, and booking logic in-house, I want to ensure there is no App Store–acceptable architecture that allows: • Meaningful native functionality, and • Continued use of a third-party operational booking platform. Any guidance or shared experience would be greatly appreciated.

URL.startAccessingSecurityScopedResource() returns false for "On My iPad" after a while
My app allows to save user-selected URLs in a list and browse them with a tap. A user reported that the app often shows that when browsing their saved entry for "On My iPad", it's apparently empty (it contains no files). I saved "On My iPad" in my own list some time ago and noticed that the same issue occurs. The URL seems to be correctly resolved from the saved bookmark data, but I noticed that url.startAccessingSecurityScopedResource() returns false. The other URL I saved some time ago is iCloud Drive, which I can access without issues. If I select "On My iPad" again in a file importer, create new bookmark data from it and resolve the URL from it, access works correctly. I create bookmark data like this: let data = try url.bookmarkData(includingResourceValuesForKeys: [.localizedNameKey, .pathKey, .volumeIsLocalKey]) and resolve URLs like this: let url = try URL(resolvingBookmarkData: data, bookmarkDataIsStale: &bookmarkDataIsStale) bookmarkDataIsStale is false for both the working and not working URLs for "On My iPad". The two bookmark data are different though, even if url.path is the same. What could be the issue?
