create a sample XCode project using Objective-C and stroybook (xib) using latest XCode beta open MainMenu.xib, and select Main Menu → File → Print... remove the image like below 4. build it 5. run it on macOS 26 beta 7 6. The menu item "print.." still have "Image" Is there any way to remove image for one menu item. I have also tried NSMenuItem.image = nil, but still not work. The issue I met on my own app is that I cannot remove icons for "Zoom In", "Zoom Out" and many other menu items, which makes the menu items not aligned properly.

We have a commercial video application in App Store, using a timer to refresh incoming video (NDI) 25-60 times a second. The signal comes from PTZ cameras, so besides Joystick, Gamecontroller and Stream Deck interfaces the app supports the mouse to control pan and zoom of the camera. We are using a NSPanGestureRecognizer for such a control. Worked fine for years - until macOS 26. In Tahoe the NSPanGestureRecognizer blocks the main thread, the timer function does not get called, so the user can still move the camera, but gets no video updates while dragging the control. I think this is heavy bug in macOS 26, but I also see no way for a workaround. So I was quite disappointed, that Apple today released Tahoe, being aware that this bug exists (Feedback Assistent: Similar recent reports: 10, Solution: open). Any idea what to do besides warning the user not to install Tahoe when using the mouse?

After upgrading to macOS 26, I noticed that showing a Quicklook preview in my app is very slow. Showing small text files is fine, but some other files I've tried, such as a Numbers document, take about 30 seconds (during which the indeterminate loading indicator appears) before the preview is shown. When showing the preview of an app, such as Xcode, the panel opens immediately with a placeholder image for the Xcode icon, and the actual Xcode icon is shown only after about 25 seconds. During this time many logs appear: FPItemsFromURLsWithTimeout timed out (5.000000s) for: file:///.file/id=6571367.2/ (/) FPItemsFromURLsWithTimeout timed out (5.000000s) for: file:///.file/id=6571367.23684/ (/Users) FPItemsFromURLsWithTimeout timed out (5.000000s) for: file:///.file/id=6571367.248032/ (/Users/n{9}k) FPItemsFromURLsWithTimeout timed out (5.000000s) for: file:///.file/id=6571367.248084/ (/Users/n{9}k/Downloads) Failed to add registration dmf.policy.monitor.app with error: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4099 "The connection to service named com.apple.dmd.policy was invalidated: failed at lookup with error 159 - Sandbox restriction."

Why is Quicklook all of a sudden so slow? It used to be almost instant in macOS 15. I created FB20268201. import Cocoa import Quartz @main class AppDelegate: NSObject, NSApplicationDelegate, QLPreviewPanelDataSource, QLPreviewPanelDelegate { var url: URL? func applicationDidFinishLaunching(_ notification: Notification) { let openPanel = NSOpenPanel() openPanel.runModal() url = openPanel.urls[0] QLPreviewPanel.shared()!.makeKeyAndOrderFront(nil) } override func acceptsPreviewPanelControl(_ panel: QLPreviewPanel!) -> Bool { return true } override func beginPreviewPanelControl(_ panel: QLPreviewPanel!) { panel.dataSource = self panel.delegate = self } override func endPreviewPanelControl(_ panel: QLPreviewPanel!) { panel.dataSource = nil panel.delegate = nil } func numberOfPreviewItems(in panel: QLPreviewPanel!) -> Int { return 1 } func previewPanel(_ panel: QLPreviewPanel!, previewItemAt index: Int) -> QLPreviewItem! { return url as? QLPreviewItem } }

When disabling the opacity slider of color panels, my app crashes with unsatisfiable layout constraints. Feel free reproduce with a minimal test project: A macOS app based on the Xcode 26.0 template with only one line added to the ViewController's viewDidLoad() function: NSColorPanel.shared.showsAlpha = false The issue doesn't occur if this property is set to "true" or not set at all. I just filed a corresponding bug report (FB20269686), although I don't expect any feedback from Apple ... as numerous issues I reported were never updated or commented at all (after migrating from RADARs).

Previously I was able to "snapshot" view that were not part of any window hierarchy using the following: NSImage *buttonImage = [NSImage imageWithSystemSymbolName:@"49.circle.fill" accessibilityDescription:nil]; NSButton *aButton = [NSButton buttonWithImage:buttonImage target:nil action:nil]; [aButton sizeToFit]; NSBitmapImageRep *rep = [aButton bitmapImageRepForCachingDisplayInRect:aButton.bounds]; if (rep == nil) { NSLog(@"Failed to get bitmap image rep."); return; } [aButton cacheDisplayInRect:aButton.bounds toBitmapImageRep:rep]; NSData *tiffData = rep.TIFFRepresentation; NSImage *snapShotOfImage = [[NSImage alloc]initWithData:tiffData]; Now on macOS Tahoe I get a non nil image, but the image is blank. However if I add aButton NSWindow's view hiearchy just before the call to -cacheDisplayInRect:toBitmapImageRep: I do get a proper image. Is this behavior intended or is this considered a bug? Is it documented anywhere that a view must be in a NSWindow for -cacheDisplayInRect:toBitmapImageRep: to work? Thanks

If I try making a bitmap of a NSButton using the following code: NSBitmapImageRep *rep = [button bitmapImageRepForCachingDisplayInRect:button.bounds]; [button cacheDisplayInRect:button.bounds toBitmapImageRep:rep]; NSData *tiffData = rep.TIFFRepresentation; I get a blank image if the NSButton has its bezelStyle set to NSBezelStyleGlass. If I change the bezel style to something else like NSBezelStyleFlexiblePush I do get an image

I'm noticing some weird glitches with my collection view headers on macOS Tahoe. The sections headers are pinned to the visible region. I headers fade out when scrolling and are supposed to fade back in but sometimes they don't fade back in and the header remains but the header text doesn't come back (until I scroll again). How can I turn off this scroll animation thingy?

Sadly my app doesn't look too good with the new sidebar style and currently I don't have the time to redesign it. (That will come later). When using Xcode 26 is there a way to keep the sidebar behavior but use the old Sequoia look? I initialize my sidebar splitview item with NSSplitViewItem(sidebarWithViewController: - when I switch to a different inititalizer (contentlist, inspector) it looks OK but the sidebar behavior (tracking toolbar item) is gone and the toolbar looks broken. Any other way to keep the old style besides not upgrading to Xcode 26? (The friendly integrated AI hallucinated some BS and then somehow applied those changes to my code ... luckily I had no pending code changes and could just revert via git).

In a new document-based macOS app project created in Xcode, some of the default system-provided menu commands appear without their standard icons in the menu bar. Steps to Reproduce: 1. In Xcode, create a new macOS “Document App” project (using Swift/SwiftUI or AppKit template). 2. Build and run the project. 3. Open the app’s main menu bar and examine the default items such as New Document, Open…, Save, Duplicate, etc. Expected Results: System-provided menu items (e.g. Open…, Save, Duplicate) should display their standard SF Symbol–based icons automatically, as they do in TextEdit and other system apps. Actual Results: Some of these menu items display only text, with no icon namely: Services Open Recent Revert To Share This happens even though the items are the system-managed defaults generated by the document-based app template. Notes: • No code modifications were made — this occurs in a fresh, unedited template project. • Behavior seen on macOS 26.0 (25A354). • Xcode Version 26.0 (17A324) used.

I have some buttons. I set the bezelStyle to NSBezelStyleGlass. I'm sometimes experiencing the following issue: Put the system in dark mode. Some glass buttons still draw with the light appearance. One or more of the following actions usually makes the appearance redraw proper: -Clicking the button -Deactivating and then reactivating the window. -Close and then reopen the window. I tried setNeedsDisplay YES etc. but that didn't work The delay is quite noticeable. Everything else is in dark mode except one or two glass buttons. This seems to workaround the issue: BOOL didToggleGlass = NO; if (self.bezelStyle == NSBezelStyleGlass) { // Turn glass off just for a sec. self.bezelStyle = NSBezelStyleToolbar; didToggleGlass = YES; } if (didToggleGlass) { // Put glass back on. self.bezelStyle = NSBezelStyleGlass; } Apparently toggling glass cause the effective appearance to change so you can't use the above workaround in a -viewDidChangeEffectiveAppearance b/c you'll create an infinite loop unless you guard against it.

I noticed that when I have a fullscreen window in macOS 26, sidebars look like they are cut off at the top: they suddenly stop where the title bar/toolbar would appear when moving the mouse to the top of the screen, leaving a wide empty gap. Am I the only one who finds this ugly? Is this intended, or is there a workaround? This is how it looks in fullscreen (the sidebar borders are not easy to distinguish, look for the drop shadow): And this when moving the mouse to the top screen border to show the menu bar: I created FB20291636. @main class AppDelegate: NSObject, NSApplicationDelegate, NSWindowDelegate { func applicationDidFinishLaunching(_ aNotification: Notification) { let splitViewController = NSSplitViewController() splitViewController.addSplitViewItem(NSSplitViewItem(sidebarWithViewController: ViewController())) splitViewController.addSplitViewItem(NSSplitViewItem(viewController: ViewController())) let window = NSWindow(contentViewController: splitViewController) window.styleMask = [.titled, .closable, .miniaturizable, .resizable, .fullSizeContentView] window.toolbar = NSToolbar() window.delegate = self window.makeKeyAndOrderFront(nil) } func window(_ window: NSWindow, willUseFullScreenPresentationOptions proposedOptions: NSApplication.PresentationOptions = []) -> NSApplication.PresentationOptions { return [.autoHideToolbar, .autoHideMenuBar, .fullScreen] } } class ViewController: NSViewController { override func loadView() { let stack = NSStackView(views: [ NSTextField(labelWithString: "asdf") ]) stack.orientation = .vertical stack.alignment = .leading view = stack view.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 300, height: 300) } }

I have an NSBrowser inside a window. When I start resizing a column I noticed a peculiar behavior: it causes NSWindowWillStartLiveResizeNotification to get posted for the NSWindow the browser is inside (and did end gets posted when column resizing finishes). The browser is not the NSWindow contentView but a descendant of the contentView. I have my reasons for caring (I'm currently listening for these window resize notifications) but my code naively assumes that NSWindowWillStartLiveResizeNotification - NSWindowDidEndLiveResizeNotification indicates a window resizing session, not a column resizing session for the NSBrowser. This is in contrast to NSOutlineView. When resizing columns in NSOutlineView the window resize notifications do not get posted. NSBrowser deliberately kicks it off: -[NSWindow _startLiveResize]; -[NSBrowser _resizeColumn:withEvent:] () So this seems quite intentional but is it necessary in modern macOS? Should I file a bug? I already did FB20298148

I'm using the simplified code below to create a window with 4 split view items, some of them collapsed. I would expect the title bar to be transparent since I'm using window.titlebarAppearsTransparent = true, but it seems that this particular view configuration causes the title bar to be visible until I collapse and expand the sidebar again. Removing any of the split view items, uncollapsing any of them, or changing the view of any of the view controllers, causes the title bar to be consistently visible or hidden, although I don't understand the logic, since I'm telling the window that it should be transparent. When launching the app in light mode, it's more difficult to notice the issue since the title bar background is equal to the content background and only the separator is visible (even though the code sets window.titlebarSeparatorStyle = .none): After collapsing and expanding the sidebar, the separator is gone: In dark mode the title bar is more visible: After collapsing and expanding the sidebar, the title bar background and separator are gone: I created FB20306872. @main class AppDelegate: NSObject, NSApplicationDelegate, NSToolbarDelegate { var splitViewController: NSSplitViewController! func applicationDidFinishLaunching(_ aNotification: Notification) { let splitViewItem1 = NSSplitViewItem(sidebarWithViewController: ViewController1()) let splitViewItem2 = NSSplitViewItem(viewController: ViewController2()) let splitViewItem3 = NSSplitViewItem(viewController: NSViewController()) splitViewItem3.isCollapsed = true let splitViewItem4 = NSSplitViewItem(viewController: NSViewController()) splitViewItem4.isCollapsed = true splitViewController = NSSplitViewController() splitViewController.splitViewItems = [splitViewItem1, splitViewItem2, splitViewItem3, splitViewItem4] let window = NSWindow(contentViewController: splitViewController) window.styleMask = [.titled, .closable, .miniaturizable, .resizable, .fullSizeContentView] window.titlebarAppearsTransparent = true let toolbar = NSToolbar(identifier: "") toolbar.delegate = self toolbar.displayMode = .iconOnly window.toolbar = toolbar window.titlebarSeparatorStyle = .none window.makeKeyAndOrderFront(nil) } func toolbarAllowedItemIdentifiers(_ toolbar: NSToolbar) -> [NSToolbarItem.Identifier] { return [.space, .flexibleSpace, .sidebarTrackingSeparator, .init("item")] } func toolbarDefaultItemIdentifiers(_ toolbar: NSToolbar) -> [NSToolbarItem.Identifier] { return [.init("item"), .sidebarTrackingSeparator] } func toolbar(_ toolbar: NSToolbar, itemForItemIdentifier itemIdentifier: NSToolbarItem.Identifier, willBeInsertedIntoToolbar flag: Bool) -> NSToolbarItem? { switch itemIdentifier.rawValue { case "item": let item = NSToolbarItem(itemIdentifier: itemIdentifier) item.image = NSImage(systemSymbolName: "sidebar.leading", accessibilityDescription: nil) item.action = #selector(toggleSidebar(_:)) item.target = self return item default: return nil } } @objc func toggleSidebar(_ sender: Any?) { splitViewController.splitViewItems[0].animator().isCollapsed = !splitViewController.splitViewItems[0].isCollapsed } } class ViewController1: NSViewController { override func loadView() { view = NSView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 300, height: 200)) } } class ViewController2: NSViewController { override func loadView() { let textView = NSTextView() let scrollView = NSScrollView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 400, height: 200)) scrollView.hasVerticalScroller = true scrollView.documentView = textView view = scrollView } }

I can compile this #import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h> @interface AppDelegate : NSObject <NSApplicationDelegate> @property (strong) NSWindow *window; @property (strong) NSSlider *slider; @end @implementation AppDelegate - (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(NSNotification *)notification { // Window size NSRect frame = NSMakeRect(0, 0, 400, 300); NSUInteger style = NSWindowStyleMaskTitled | NSWindowStyleMaskClosable | NSWindowStyleMaskResizable; self.window = [[NSWindow alloc] initWithContentRect:frame styleMask:style backing:NSBackingStoreBuffered defer:NO]; [self.window setTitle:@"Centered Slider Example"]; [self.window makeKeyAndOrderFront:nil]; // Slider size CGFloat sliderWidth = 200; CGFloat sliderHeight = 32; CGFloat windowWidth = self.window.frame.size.width; CGFloat windowHeight = self.window.frame.size.height; CGFloat sliderX = (windowWidth - sliderWidth) / 2; CGFloat sliderY = (windowHeight - sliderHeight) / 2; self.slider = [[NSSlider alloc] initWithFrame:NSMakeRect(sliderX, sliderY, sliderWidth, sliderHeight)]; [self.slider setMinValue:0]; [self.slider setMaxValue:100]; [self.slider setDoubleValue:50]; [self.window.contentView addSubview:self.slider]; } @end int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) { @autoreleasepool { NSApplication *app = [NSApplication sharedApplication]; AppDelegate *delegate = [[AppDelegate alloc] init]; [app setDelegate:delegate]; [app run]; } return 0; } with (base) johnzhou@Johns-MacBook-Pro liquidglasstest % clang -framework Foundation -framework AppKit testobjc.m and get this neat liquid glass effect: https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/4199493b-6011-4ad0-9c9f-25db8585e547 However if I use pyobjc to make an equivalent import sys from Cocoa import ( NSApplication, NSApp, NSWindow, NSSlider, NSMakeRect, NSWindowStyleMaskTitled, NSWindowStyleMaskClosable, NSWindowStyleMaskResizable, NSBackingStoreBuffered, NSObject ) class AppDelegate(NSObject): def applicationDidFinishLaunching_(self, notification): # Create the main window window_size = NSMakeRect(0, 0, 400, 300) style = NSWindowStyleMaskTitled | NSWindowStyleMaskClosable | NSWindowStyleMaskResizable self.window = NSWindow.alloc().initWithContentRect_styleMask_backing_defer_( window_size, style, NSBackingStoreBuffered, False ) self.window.setTitle_("Centered Slider Example") self.window.makeKeyAndOrderFront_(None) # Slider size and positioning slider_width = 200 slider_height = 32 window_width = self.window.frame().size.width window_height = self.window.frame().size.height slider_x = (window_width - slider_width) / 2 slider_y = (window_height - slider_height) / 2 self.slider = NSSlider.alloc().initWithFrame_(NSMakeRect(slider_x, slider_y, slider_width, slider_height)) self.slider.setMinValue_(0) self.slider.setMaxValue_(100) self.slider.setDoubleValue_(50) self.window.contentView().addSubview_(self.slider) if __name__ == "__main__": app = NSApplication.sharedApplication() delegate = AppDelegate.alloc().init() app.setDelegate_(delegate) app.run() I get a result shown at https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7da022bc-122b-491d-9e08-030dcb9337c3 which does not have the new liquid glass effect. Why is this? Is this perhaps related to the requirement that you must compile on latest Xcode as indicated in the docs? Why, is the compiler doing some magic?

When I compiled my legacy project with Tahoe's macOS 26 SDK, NSRulerViews are showing a very different design: Under prior macOS versions the horizontal and verrical ruler's background were blurring the content view, which was extending under the rulers, showing through their transparency. With Tahoe the horizontal ruler is always reflecting the scrollview's background color, showing the blurred content view beneath. And the vertical ruler is always completely transparent (without any blurring), showing the content together with the ruler's markers and ticks. It's difficult to describe, I'll try to replicate this behavior with a minimal test project, and probably file a bug report / enhancement request. But before I take next steps, can anyone confirm this observation? Maybe it is an intentional design decision by Apple?

macOS 26 sometimes draws the title bar background even when setting NSWindow.titlebarAppearsTransparent = true and I don't understand the logic behind it, or how I can turn this off. I'm trying to do something similar to Xcode's "Welcome to Xcode" window which has a left view and a right table view. In my simplified example, the window contains a label and a text view. This used to work in macOS 15, but in macOS 26 the text view is partially covered by the title bar: As soon as I remove the line scrollView.hasVerticalScroller = true, the title bar isn't drawn anymore: The title bar also isn't drawn when removing the view on the left of the text view: I created FB20341654. This may be related to this other issue: NSWindow.titlebarAppearsTransparent only works after collapsing and expanding sidebar @main class AppDelegate: NSObject, NSApplicationDelegate { func applicationDidFinishLaunching(_ aNotification: Notification) { let window = NSWindow(contentViewController: ViewController()) window.titlebarAppearsTransparent = true window.titleVisibility = .hidden window.styleMask = [.titled, .closable, .fullSizeContentView] window.makeKeyAndOrderFront(nil) } } class ViewController: NSViewController { override func loadView() { view = NSView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 400, height: 200)) let scrollView = NSScrollView() scrollView.hasVerticalScroller = true // commenting this line out solves the issue scrollView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false scrollView.automaticallyAdjustsContentInsets = false let documentView = NSTextView() documentView.string = (0..<10).map({ "\($0)" }).joined(separator: "\n") scrollView.documentView = documentView let stack = NSStackView(views: [ NSTextField(labelWithString: "asdfasdfasdfasdf"), // commenting this line out also solves the issue scrollView ]) stack.orientation = .horizontal view.addSubview(stack) NSLayoutConstraint.activate([stack.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.topAnchor), stack.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.leadingAnchor), stack.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.trailingAnchor), stack.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.bottomAnchor)]) } }

Hi everyone, After upgrading to macOS 26 (Tahoe) I’ve run into an issue: NSTextField becomes noticeably blurry when its parent layer is transformed (CATransform3D or CGAffineTransform). On macOS 15 (Sequoia) the exact same code worked fine — text stayed sharp. Interestingly, an NSImage backed by a PDF representation transforms without any problem and remains perfectly crisp, but labels do not. What I’ve tried so far Checked the contentsScale of the layers Setting magnificationFilter = .nearest Toggled shouldRasterize on/off and adjusted rasterizationScale Have there been any Core Animation or AppKit changes in macOS 26 that affect text rendering when transforming layers? What’s the recommended way now to keep NSTextField text sharp (similar to how vector PDF images behave) when scaling its parent layer? Any insights, best practices, or workarounds would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I have some working Objective-C code that displays a WKWebView and allows printing that content. However, it uses the method -[WKWebView printOperationWithPrintInfo:], which the documentation says is deprecated as of macOS 10.15. However, it doesn't say why this method is deprecated, or what the recommended replacement is. The declaration in WKWebView.h does not even indicate that the method is deprecated. But as an alternative, I tried using +[NSPrintOperation printOperationWithView:printInfo]. Doing it that way just prints a blank page. So, should I keep doing it the doubtful way?

In my Mac app, there is a menu item whose title is "Copy", and another called "Zoom to Marker". Apparently appkit sees fit to inject its own images into these items (off-state images I suppose). Why it was consider a good idea to begin with is unclear, because how can you be sure these images are appropriate? If that wasn't bad enough, the framework does not even check that these menu items already have off state images. So now the menu items get two images! How do I prevent this? Note: I use Xcode 16.
