At WWDC25 we launched a new type of Lab event for the developer community - Group Labs. A Group Lab is a panel Q&A designed for a large audience of developers. Group Labs are a unique opportunity for the community to submit questions directly to a panel of Apple engineers and designers. Here are the highlights from the WWDC25 Group Lab for SwiftUI. What's your favorite new feature introduced to SwiftUI this year? The new rich text editor, a collaborative effort across multiple Apple teams. The safe area bar, simplifying the management of scroll view insets, safe areas, and overlays. NavigationLink indicator visibility control, a highly requested feature now available and back-deployed. Performance improvements to existing components (lists, scroll views, etc.) that come "for free" without requiring API adoption. Regarding performance profiling, it's recommended to use the new SwiftUI Instruments tool when you have a good understanding of your code and notice a performance drop after a specific change. This helps build a mental map between your code and the profiler's output. The "cause-and-effect graph" in the tool is particularly useful for identifying what's triggering expensive view updates, even if the issue isn't immediately apparent in your own code. My app is primarily UIKit-based, but I'm interested in adopting some newer SwiftUI-only scene types like MenuBarExtra or using SwiftUI-exclusive features. Is there a better way to bridge these worlds now? Yes, "scene bridging" makes it possible to use SwiftUI scenes from UIKit or AppKit lifecycle apps. This allows you to display purely SwiftUI scenes from your existing UIKit/AppKit code. Furthermore, you can use SwiftUI scene-specific modifiers to affect those scenes. Scene bridging is a great way to introduce SwiftUI into your apps. This also allows UIKit apps brought to Vision OS to integrate volumes and immersive spaces. It's also a great way to customize your experience with Assistive Access API. Can you please share any bad practices we should avoid when integrating Liquid Glass in our SwiftUI Apps? Avoid these common mistakes when integrating liquid glass: Overlapping Glass: Don't overlap liquid glass elements, as this can create visual artifacts. Scrolling Content Collisions: Be cautious when using liquid glass within scrolling content to prevent collisions with toolbar and navigation bar glass. Unnecessary Tinting: Resist the urge to tint the glass for branding or other purposes. Liquid glass should primarily be used to draw attention and convey meaning. Improper Grouping: Use the GlassEffectContainer to group related glass elements. This helps the system optimize rendering by limiting the search area for glass interactions. Navigation Bar Tinting: Avoid tinting navigation bars for branding, as this conflicts with the liquid glass effect. Instead, move branding colors into the content of the scroll view. This allows the color to be visible behind the glass at the top of the view, but it moves out of the way as the user scrolls, allowing the controls to revert to their standard monochrome style for better readability. Thanks for improving the performance of SwiftUI List this year. How about LazyVStack in ScrollView? Does it now also reuse the views inside the stack? Are there any best practices for improving the performance when using LazyVStack with large number of items? SwiftUI has improved scroll performance, including idle prefetching. When using LazyVStack with a large number of items, ensure your ForEach returns a static number of views. If you're returning multiple views within the ForEach, wrap them in a VStack to signal to SwiftUI that it's a single row, allowing for optimizations. Reuse is handled as an implementation detail within SwiftUI. Use the performance instrument to identify expensive views and determine how to optimize your app. If you encounter performance issues or hitches in scrolling, use the new SwiftUI Instruments tool to diagnose the problem. Implementing the new iOS 26 tab bar seems to have very low contrast when darker content is underneath, is there anything we should be doing to increase the contrast for tab bars? The new design is still in beta. If you're experiencing low contrast issues, especially with darker content underneath, please file feedback. It's generally not recommended to modify standard system components. As all apps on the platform are adopting liquid glass, feedback is crucial for tuning the experience based on a wider range of apps. Early feedback, especially regarding contrast and accessibility, is valuable for improving the system for all users. If I’m starting a new multi-platform app (iOS/iPadOS/macOS) that will heavily depend on UIKit/AppKit for the core structure and components (split, collection, table, and outline views), should I still use SwiftUI to manage the app lifecycle? Why? Even if your new multi-platform app heavily relies on UIKit/AppKit for core structure and components, it's generally recommended to still use SwiftUI to manage the app lifecycle. This sets you up for easier integration of SwiftUI components in the future and allows you to quickly adopt new SwiftUI features. Interoperability between SwiftUI and UIKit/AppKit is a core principle, with APIs to facilitate going back and forth between the two frameworks. Scene bridging allows you to bring existing SwiftUI scenes into apps that use a UIKit lifecycle, or vice versa. Think of it not as a binary choice, but as a mix of whatever you need. I’d love to know more about the matchedTransitionSource API you’ve added - is it a native way to have elements morph from a VStack to a sheet for example? What is the use case for it? The matchedTransitionSource API helps connect different views during transitions, such as when presenting popovers or other presentations from toolbar items. It's a way to link the user interaction to the presented content. For example, it can be used to visually connect an element in a VStack to a sheet. It can also be used to create a zoom effect where an element appears to enlarge, and these transitions are fully interactive, allowing users to swipe. It creates a nice, polished experience for the user. Support for this API has been added to toolbar items this year, and it was already available for standard views.

Hello all, my team and I are looking for some advice on updating our app from using NavigationView and NavigationLink to NavigationStack and .navigationDestination now that NavigationView is deprecated. A little background about our situation, our app is a mix of SwiftUI views and UIKit view controllers. We are slowly migrating towards primarily SwiftUI and we are at the point now where our main app entry point is SwiftUI. UIKit is now mainly just used for some legacy screens inside the app, but majority of our navigation is using SwiftUI with NavigationLinks. I have spent a couple weeks on trying to migrate to using NavigationStack + .navigationDestination, but every time I do I keep running into issues. From what I understand, there seems to be two competing approaches for modern navigation. Those two approaches are... Having a more global navigationDestination modifier defined at the root of each tab that essentially supports navigating to all pages. I have seen this referred to as a 'router'. Applying a navigationDestination modifier on each page that navigates somewhere. This seems to be more 1-to-1 port of how we are currently using NavigationLink. However, I tried implementing both of these solutions in our app and with both of them I ran into countless issues which made me second guess the solution I was currently implementing in favor of the other. This has led to where I am now, where I am really unsure what the recommended approach is. I would love to hear from you all, what you have had the most success with. I am interested to hear what approach you chose, why you chose that, and then also some downsides to the approach you chose. Thanks in advance.

I have a ScrollView with several Buttons and a .refreshable modifier. As soon as I pull to refresh and the refresh indicator appears, the tap targets no longer match the visible button positions. For example, tapping button A triggers button B’s action, as if the hit-testing region didn’t move along with the content. This only happens while the refresh indicator is shown. Before pulling to refresh, everything is correct and afterwards as well. Tested on iOS 18 and 26 (Xcode 16.4, Xcode 26). Here is a minimal reproducible example: import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { ScrollView { VStack { Button("Button A") { print("A") } .buttonStyle(.borderedProminent) Button("Button B") { print("B") } .buttonStyle(.borderedProminent) Button("Button C") { print("C") } .buttonStyle(.borderedProminent) Button("Button D") { print("D") } .buttonStyle(.borderedProminent) Button("Button E") { print("E") } .buttonStyle(.borderedProminent) } .frame(maxWidth: .infinity) } .refreshable { try? await Task.sleep(for: .seconds(60)) } } }

I have SwiftData models containing arrays of Codable structs that worked fine before adding CloudKit capability. I believe they are the reason I started seeing errors after enabling CloudKit. Example model: @Model final class ProtocolMedication { var times: [SchedulingTime] = [] // SchedulingTime is Codable // other properties... } After enabling CloudKit, I get this error logged to the console: 'NSKeyedUnarchiveFromData' should not be used to for un-archiving and will be removed in a future release CloudKit Console shows this times data as "plain text" instead of "bplist" format. Other struct/enum properties display correctly (I think) as "bplist" in CloudKit Console. The local SwiftData storage handled these arrays fine - this issue only appeared with CloudKit integration. What's the recommended approach for storing arrays of Codable structs in SwiftData models that sync with CloudKit?

I'm working on an iOS document-based app. It uses ReferenceFileDocument and custom creation of documents via DocumentGroupLaunchScene + NewDocumentButton. It works fine when I use the plain NewDocumentButton("Whatever") (without any more arguments), but when I want to perform additional setup via preapreDocumentURL or even just add a contentType it gives such output in the console when I hit it: Content serialization failed, document won't be saved. UTType.replayable is correctly wired up in the plist. It looks like a bug in the SDK, but maybe there is a chance that I'm doing something wrong? Here's a code: import SwiftUI import UniformTypeIdentifiers import Combine @main struct MyApp: App { var body: some Scene { DocumentGroup { Document() } editor: { documentConfiguration in EmptyView() } DocumentGroupLaunchScene("Yoyo") { NewDocumentButton(contentType: .replayable) { return URL(string: "whatever, it doesnt even go there...")! } } } } final class Document: ReferenceFileDocument { static var readableContentTypes: [UTType] { [.replayable] } @Published var x = 0 init() {} init(configuration: ReadConfiguration) throws {} func snapshot(contentType: UTType) throws -> Data { Data() } func fileWrapper(snapshot: Data, configuration: WriteConfiguration) throws -> FileWrapper { .init(regularFileWithContents: snapshot) } } extension UTType { static var replayable: UTType { UTType(exportedAs: "com.whatever.yo") } }

Let's say you have a NavigationModel that contains three NavigationPaths, one for each option in the sidebar for a NavigationSplitView. This NavigationModel is created by the App and passed down to the root view for the scene in its environment. Each option has a separate NavigationStack and is passed a binding to the appropriate NavigationPath from the NavigationModel. Is it expected that when the user changes the selection in the sidebar, the NavigationPath for the newly selected view should be erased? This is what's currently happening on macOS 26. It seems like the default action when creating a NavigationStack and passing it a binding to a NavigationPath is to clear that path and start from the root view. Is this normal, intended behaviour or is it a bug? Or, perhaps, an option or modifier I am missing?

I have two @Observable manager classes, which share a reference to a third class. I initialize this setup using a custom init in my App struct, like so: @main struct MyApp: App { private let managerA: ManagerA private let managerB: ManagerB init() { let managerC = ManagerC() self.managerA = ManagerA(managerC: managerC) self.managerB = ManagerB(managerC: managerC) } var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() .environment(managerA) .environment(managerB) } } } I've been using this pattern for some time and it has been working fine. However, I just today discovered that @Observable objects are supposed to be initialized as @State vars, as shown in Apple's documentation here. This means I shoud be doing the following: @main struct MyApp: App { @State private var managerA: ManagerA @State private var managerB: ManagerB init() { let managerC = ManagerC() self.managerA = ManagerA(managerC: managerC) self.managerB = ManagerB(managerC: managerC) } var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() .environment(managerA) .environment(managerB) } } } I've also seen some examples where the @State vars are initialized manually like this: @main struct MyApp: App { @State private var managerA: ManagerA @State private var managerB: ManagerB init() { let managerC = ManagerC() let managerA = ManagerA(managerC: managerC) let managerB = ManagerB(managerC: managerC) self._managerA = State(initialValue: managerA) self._managerB = State(initialValue: managerB) } var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() .environment(managerA) .environment(managerB) } } } ChatGPT tells me the third approach is the correct one, but I don't understand why and ChatGPT can't produce a convincing explanation. The compiler doesn't produce any errors or warnings under each approach, and as far as I can tell, they all behave identically with no discernible difference in performance. Does it matter which pattern I use? Is there a "correct" way?

In one of my apps, i am using .glassEffect(_:In) to add glass effect on various elements. The app always crushes when a UI element with glassEffect(_in:) modifier is being rendered. This only happens on device running iOS 26 public beta. I know this for certain because I connected the particular device to xcode and run the app on the device. When i comment out the glassEffect modifier, app doesn't crush. Is it possible to check particular realeases with #available? If not, how should something like this be handled. Also how do i handle such os level erros without the app crushing. Thanks.

The code below is a test to trigger UI updates every 30 seconds. I'm trying to keep most work off main and only push to main once I have the string (which is cached). Why is updating SwiftUI 30 times per second so expensive? This code causes 10% CPU on my M4 Mac, but comment out the following line: Text(model.timeString) and it's 0% CPU. The reason why I think I have too much work on main is because of this from instruments. But I'm no instruments expert. import SwiftUI import UniformTypeIdentifiers @main struct RapidUIUpdateTestApp: App { var body: some Scene { DocumentGroup(newDocument: RapidUIUpdateTestDocument()) { file in ContentView(document: file.$document) } } } struct ContentView: View { @Binding var document: RapidUIUpdateTestDocument @State private var model = PlayerModel() var body: some View { VStack(spacing: 16) { Text(model.timeString) // only this changes .font(.system(size: 44, weight: .semibold, design: .monospaced)) .transaction { $0.animation = nil } // no implicit animations HStack { Button(model.running ? "Pause" : "Play") { model.running ? model.pause() : model.start() } Button("Reset") { model.seek(0) } Stepper("FPS: \(Int(model.fps))", value: $model.fps, in: 10...120, step: 1) .onChange(of: model.fps) { _, _ in model.applyFPS() } } } .padding() .onAppear { model.start() } .onDisappear { model.stop() } } } @Observable final class PlayerModel { // Publish ONE value to minimize invalidations var timeString: String = "0.000 s" var fps: Double = 30 var running = false private var formatter: NumberFormatter = { let f = NumberFormatter() f.minimumFractionDigits = 3 f.maximumFractionDigits = 3 return f }() @ObservationIgnored private let q = DispatchQueue(label: "tc.timer", qos: .userInteractive) @ObservationIgnored private var timer: DispatchSourceTimer? @ObservationIgnored private var startHost: UInt64 = 0 @ObservationIgnored private var pausedAt: Double = 0 @ObservationIgnored private var lastFrame: Int = -1 // cache timebase once private static let secsPerTick: Double = { var info = mach_timebase_info_data_t() mach_timebase_info(&info) return Double(info.numer) / Double(info.denom) / 1_000_000_000.0 }() func start() { guard timer == nil else { running = true; return } let desiredUIFPS: Double = 30 // or 60, 24, etc. let periodNs = UInt64(1_000_000_000 / desiredUIFPS) running = true startHost = mach_absolute_time() let t = DispatchSource.makeTimerSource(queue: q) // ~30 fps, with leeway to let the kernel coalesce wakeups t.schedule( deadline: .now(), repeating: .nanoseconds(Int(periodNs)), // 33_333_333 ns ≈ 30 fps leeway: .milliseconds(30) // allow coalescing ) t.setEventHandler { [weak self] in self?.tick() } timer = t t.resume() } func pause() { guard running else { return } pausedAt = now() running = false } func stop() { timer?.cancel() timer = nil running = false pausedAt = 0 lastFrame = -1 } func seek(_ seconds: Double) { pausedAt = max(0, seconds) startHost = mach_absolute_time() lastFrame = -1 // force next UI update } func applyFPS() { lastFrame = -1 } // next tick will refresh string // MARK: - Tick on background queue private func tick() { let s = now() let str = formatter.string(from: s as NSNumber) ??

I'm looking for clarification on a SwiftUI performance point mentioned in the recent Optimize your app's speed and efficiency | Meet with Apple video. (YouTube link not allowed, but the video is available on the Apple Developer channel.) At the 1:48:50 mark, the presenter says: Writing a value to the Environment doesn't only affect the views that read the key you're updating. It updates any view that reads from any Environment key. [abbreviated quote] That statement seems like a big deal if your app relies heavily on Environment values. Context I'm building a macOS application with a traditional three-panel layout. At any given time, there are many views on screen, plus others that exist in the hierarchy but are currently hidden (for example, views inside tab views or collapsed splitters). Nearly every major view reads something from the environment—often an @Observable object that acts as a service or provider. However, there are a few relatively small values that are written to the environment frequently, such as: The selected tab index The currently selected object on a canvas The Question Based on the presenter's statement, I’m wondering: Does writing any value to the environment really cause all views in the entire SwiftUI view hierarchy that read any environment key to have their body re-evaluated? Do environment writes only affect child views, or do they propagate through the entire SwiftUI hierarchy? Example: View A └─ View B ├─ View C └─ View D If View B updates an environment value, does that affect only C and D, or does it also trigger updates in A and B (assuming each view has at least one @Environment property)? Possible Alternative If all views are indeed invalidated by environment writes, would it be more efficient to “wrap” frequently-changing values inside an @Observable object instead of updating the environment directly? // Pseudocode @Observable final class SelectedTab { var index: Int } ContentView() .environment(\.selectedTab, selectedTab) struct TabView: View { @Environment(\.selectedTab) private var selectedTab var body: some View { Button("Action") { // Would this avoid invalidating all views using the environment? selectedTab.index = 1 } } } Summary From what I understand, it sounds like the environment should primarily be used for stable, long-lived objects—not for rapidly changing values—since writes might cause far more view invalidations than most developers realize. Is that an accurate interpretation? Follow-Up In Xcode 26 / Instruments, is there a way to monitor writes to @Environment?

I'm experiencing an issue where my List selection (using EditButton) gets cleared when a confirmationDialog is presented, making it impossible to delete the selected items. Environment: Xcode 16.0.1 Swift 5 iOS 18 (targeting iOS 17+) Issue Description: When I select items in a List using EditButton and tap a delete button that shows a confirmationDialog, the selection is cleared as soon as the dialog appears. This prevents me from accessing the selected items to delete them. Code: State variables: @State var itemsSelection = Set<Item>() @State private var showDeleteConfirmation = false List with selection: List(currentItems, id: \.self, selection: $itemsSelection) { item in NavigationLink(value: item) { ItemListView(item: item) } } .navigationDestination(for: Item.self) { item in ItemViewDetail(item: item) } .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .primaryAction) { EditButton() } } Delete button with confirmation: Button { if itemsSelection.count > 1 { showDeleteConfirmation = true } else { deleteItemsSelected() } } label: { Image(systemName: "trash.fill") .font(.system(size: 12)) .foregroundStyle(Color.red) } .padding(8) .confirmationDialog( "Delete?", isPresented: $showDeleteConfirmation, titleVisibility: .visible ) { Button("Delete", role: .destructive) { deleteItemsSelected() } Button("Cancel", role: .cancel) {} } message: { Text("Going to delete: \(itemsSelection.count) items?") } Expected Behavior: The selected items should remain selected when the confirmationDialog appears, allowing me to delete them after confirmation. Actual Behavior: As soon as showDeleteConfirmation becomes true and the dialog appears, itemsSelection becomes empty (count = 0), making it impossible to delete the selected items. What I've Tried: Moving the confirmationDialog to different view levels Checking if this is related to the NavigationLink interaction Has anyone encountered this issue? Is there a workaround to preserve the selection when showing a confirmation dialog?

I’m seeing unexpected scroll behavior when embedding a LazyVStack with dynamically sized views inside a ScrollView. Everything works fine when the item height is fixed (e.g. colored squares), but when I switch to text views with variable height, the scroll position jumps and glitches—especially when the keyboard appears or disappears. This only happens on iOS 26, it works fine on iOS 18. Working version struct Model: Identifiable { let id = UUID() } struct ModernScrollView: View { @State private var models: [Model] = [] @State private var scrollPositionID: String? @State private var text: String = "" @FocusState private var isFocused // MARK: - View var body: some View { scrollView .safeAreaInset(edge: .bottom) { controls } .task { reset() } } // MARK: - Subviews private var scrollView: some View { ScrollView { LazyVStack { ForEach(models) { model in SquareView(color: Color(from: model.id)) .id(model.id.uuidString) } } .scrollTargetLayout() } .scrollPosition(id: $scrollPositionID) .scrollDismissesKeyboard(.interactively) .defaultScrollAnchor(.bottom) .onTapGesture { isFocused = false } } private var controls: some View { VStack { HStack { Button("Add to top") { models.insert(contentsOf: makeModels(3), at: 0) } Button("Add to bottom") { models.append(contentsOf: makeModels(3)) } Button("Reset") { reset() } } HStack { Button { scrollPositionID = models.first?.id.uuidString } label: { Image(systemName: "arrow.up") } Button { scrollPositionID = models.last?.id.uuidString } label: { Image(systemName: "arrow.down") } } TextField("Input", text: $text) .padding() .background(.ultraThinMaterial, in: .capsule) .focused($isFocused) .padding(.horizontal) } .padding(.vertical) .buttonStyle(.bordered) .background(.regularMaterial) } // MARK: - Private private func makeModels(_ count: Int) -> [Model] { (0..<count).map { _ in Model() } } private func reset() { models = makeModels(3) } } // MARK: - Color+UUID private extension Color { init(from uuid: UUID) { let hash = uuid.uuidString.hashValue let r = Double((hash & 0xFF0000) >> 16) / 255.0 let g = Double((hash & 0x00FF00) >> 8) / 255.0 let b = Double(hash & 0x0000FF) / 255.0 self.init(red: abs(r), green: abs(g), blue: abs(b)) } } Not working version When I replace the square view with a text view that generates random multiline text: struct Model: Identifiable { let id = UUID() let text = generateRandomText(range: 1...5) // MARK: - Utils private static func generateRandomText(range: ClosedRange<Int>) -> String { var result = "" for _ in 0..<Int.random(in: range) { if let sentence = sentences.randomElement() { result += sentence } } return result.trimmingCharacters(in: .whitespaces) } private static let sentences = [ "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.", "Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.", "Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur.", "Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum." ] } and use it like this: ForEach(models) { model in Text(model.text) .padding() .multilineTextAlignment(.leading) .background(Color(from: model.id)) .id(model.id.uuidString) } Then on iOS 26, opening the keyboard makes the scroll position jump unpredictably. It is more visible if you play with the app, but I could not upload a video here. Environment Xcode 26.0.1 - Simulators and devices on iOS 26.0 - 18.0 Questions Is there any known change in ScrollView / scrollPosition(id:) behavior on iOS 26 related to dynamic height content? Am I missing something in the layout setup that makes this layout unstable with variable-height cells? Is there a workaround or recommended approach for keeping scroll position stable when keyboard appears?

Hi Everyone, I’m encountering a layout issue in SwiftUI starting with iOS 26 / Xcode 26 (also reproduced on iPadOS 26). I would like to see whether anyone else has seen the same behaviour, and if there’s any known workaround or fix from Apple. Reproduction Minimal code: struct ContentView: View { @State private var inputText: String = "" var body: some View { TextField("", text: $inputText) .font(.system(size: 14, weight: .semibold)) .background(Capsule().foregroundStyle(.gray)) } } Environment: Xcode: 26.1 (17B55) Devices / Simulators: iOS 26.0, iOS 26.0.1, iOS 26.1 on iPhone 17 Pro Max; iPadOS 26 on iPad. OS: iOS 26 / iPadOS 26 Observed behaviour When the TextField is tapped for the first time (focus enters), its height suddenly decreases compared to the unfocused state. After this initial focus-tap, subsequent unfocus/focus cycles preserve the height (i.e., height remains “normal” and stable). Prior to iOS 26 (i.e., in older iOS versions) I did not observe this behaviour — same code worked fine. I have not explicitly set .frame(height:) or extra padding, and I’m relying on the default intrinsic height + the Capsule background. Work-arounds Adding .frame(height: X) (fixed height) removes the issue (height stable). Thanks in advance for any feedback!

[Submitted as FB20978913] When using .navigationTransition(.zoom) with a fullScreenCover, deleting the source item from the destination view causes a brief black flash during the dismiss animation. This is only visible in Light mode. REPRO STEPS Build and run the sample code below. Set the device to Light mode. Tap any row to open its detail view. In the detail view, tap Delete. Watch the dismiss animation as the list updates. EXPECTED The zoom transition should return smoothly to the list with no dark or black flash. ACTUAL A visible black flash appears over the deleted row during the collapse animation. It starts black, shortens, and fades out in sync with the row-collapse motion. The flash lasts about five frames and is consistently visible in Light mode. NOTES Occurs only when deleting from the presented detail view. Does not occur when deleting directly from the list. Does not occur or is not visible in Dark mode. Reproducible on both simulator and device. Removing .navigationTransition(.zoom) or using .sheet instead of .fullScreenCover avoids the issue.

What is the correct way to implement scrolling in a looong list that uses ScrollView and LazyVstack Imagine I have some api that returns a longs list of comments with replies The basic usecase is to scroll to the bottom(to the last comment) Most of the time this works fine But, imagine some of the comments have many replies like 35 or more (or even 300) User expands replies for the first post, then presses scroll to bottom. The scrollbar reaches the bottom and I see the blank screen. Sometimes the scrollbar may jump for a while before lazyvstack finishes loading or until I manually scroll up a bit or all the way up and down What should I do in this case? Is this the swiftui performance problem that has no cure? Abstract example: ScrollViewReader { proxy in ScrollView { LazyVStack { ForEach(comments) { comment in CommentView(comment: comment) .id("comment-\(comment.id)") } } } } struct CommentView: View { let comment: Comment @State var isExpanded = false var body: some View { VStack { Text(comment.text) if isExpanded { RepliesView(replies: comment.replies) // 35-300+ replies } } } } ... scroll proxy.scrollTo("comment-\(lastComment.id)", anchor: .bottom)

Hi! I wrote a SwiftUI based app which does use a layout similar to a calendar. A week view with 5 day-views. Each day view may contain several record views. I've implemented a drag for the records which works well inside a day view (up and down) but I can't get it working between the days. Here is an example how it looks: Any idea or example how to get the proper coordinate information related to the week view inside the rectangle view? A GeometryReader inside the Rectangle view does not give me the needed information. I have currently no idea how to implement it properly…

Hello I'm trying to use a TabView inside of the Sidebar in a NavigationSplitView. I'm wanting to use .listStyle(.sidebar) in order to get the Liquid Glass effect. However I can not find a way to remove the background of the TabView without changing the behavior of the TabView itself to paging with .tabViewStyle(.page) NavigationSplitView { TabView( selection: .constant("List") ) { Tab(value: "List") { List { Text("List") } } } } detail: { } Note: I wanting change the background of the TabView container itself. Not the TabBar.

The same code that I have, runs fine on iOS 26.0, but on iOS 26.1, there's a delay in the Button with role .confirm to be shown properly and tinted. Shown in the screen recording here -> https://imgur.com/a/uALuW50 This is my code that shows slightly different button in iOS 18 vs iOS26. var body: some View { if #available(iOS 26.0, *) { Button("Save", systemImage: "checkmark", role: .confirm) { action() }.labelStyle(.iconOnly) } else { Button("Save") { action() } } }

We use SwiftUI's .tabViewBottomAccessory in our iOS apps for displaying an Audio MiniPlayer View (like in the Apple Music App). TabView(selection: $viewModel.selectedTab) { // Tabs here } .tabViewBottomAccessory { if viewModel.showAudioMiniPlayer { MiniPlayerView() } } The Problem This code works perfectly on iOS 26.0. When viewModel.showAudioMiniPlayer is false, the accessory is completely hidden. However, on iOS 26.1 (23B5059e), when 'viewModel.showAudioMiniPlayer' becomes false, the MiniPlayerView disappears, but an empty container remains, leaving a blank space above the tab bar. Is this a known Bug in iOS 26.1 and are there any effective workarounds?

I'm being faced with an issue when using SwiftUI's WebView on iOS 26. In many websites, the top/bottom content is unaccessible due to being under the app's toolbars. It feels like the WebView doesn't really understand the safe areas where it's being shown, because the content should start right below the navigation bar, and only when the user scrolls down, the content should move under the bar (but it's always reachable if the users scroll back up). Here's a demo of the issue: Here's a 'fix' by ensuring that the content of the WebView never leaves its bounds. But as you can see, it feels out of place on iOS 26 (would be fine on previous OS versions if you had a fully opaque toolbar): Code: struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { NavigationStack { WebView(url: URL(string: "https://apple.com")).toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .primaryAction) { Button("Top content covered, unaccessible.") {} } } } } } Does anyone know if there's a way to fix it using some sort of view modifier combination or it's just broken as-is?
