I have an app that is pretty simple and allows information to be collected when offline. The app works perfectly while online where users can type into textfields. However when cellular and WiFi is disabled, tapping into the textfield displays the on-screen keyboard. As soon as this appears, the app enters a system hang and no typing or any user interaction is possible.
Upon profiling, it appears that this has to do with an infinite loop with the keyboard detecting a change in the network for dictation and then trying to load an image asset, presumably the dictation button. The keyboard will not contain this button either. This is on a regular UITextField with no delegate or special treatment. I have removed all "appearance" in the app and that makes no difference.
This seems to be a major bug in iOS 17 and higher. It continues to fail on iOS 18+ as well as new versions of Xcode, updated SDKs, etc.
I can do this in other apps I've developed without issue so I'm assuming there's something in the app that is interfering somehow with the dictation network connectivity in the keyboard. Either way, an app interfering with the keyboard function still seems like a possible flaw in the operating system.
There are also multiple warnings displayed in the console in Xcode about AFPreferences unable to resolve system language too. This fills up the console very quickly because of the looping nature of this asset layout issue. Because this is never completing and getting locked up, you'll notice that the dictation button does not appear in the lower right corner. However the cursor continues to blink but the user interface is non-responsive.
Any ideas what would be interfering with the drawing of the keyboard like this?

You used to be able to use the "User Defined Runtime Attributes" section in Interface Builder to add attributes such as layer.borderColor, layer.borderWidth, layer.cornerRadius, etc. I can still enter these values, but they don't do anything. What happened?
I can still set them via code and then they work, but it's much more convenient to be able to do it in interface builder.
When I create a modal segue to a navigation controller in a storyboard, the navigation bar buttons appear correctly. But when trying to recreate this programmatically, no buttons appear:
import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let button = UIButton(type: .infoLight, primaryAction: UIAction(handler: { _ in
self.present(UINavigationController(rootViewController: ModalViewController()), animated: true)
}))
button.frame.origin = CGPoint(x: 100, y: 100)
view.addSubview(button)
}
}
class ModalViewController: UIViewController {
override func loadView() {
let button = UIBarButtonItem(title: "button")
button.primaryAction = UIAction(handler: { action in
})
button.style = .done
navigationItem.title = "title"
navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = button
view = UITableView()
}
}
What am I doing wrong?
Hello everyone !
We've observed with our team that the default value of the modalPresentationStyle for an UIViewController has changed on iOS 18/XCode 16.
We've made a small playground to test it
import UIKit
var navigationController = UINavigationController()
navigationController.modalPresentationStyle = .automatic
navigationController.modalPresentationStyle.rawValue
The rawValue of the modalPresentationStyle on XCode 15 was 1, so the value of .pageSheet, which is okay since it is the default value specified in the documentation.
Since Xcode 16 this value has changed to 2 which is the value of .formSheet.
Did this change in particular has been specified anywhere by Apple ? The closest thing I've been able to find is the new .presentationSizingfor sheets in SwiftUI but I have not found anything for UIKit.
Thank you very much for your time !

I was trying to show my nextKeyboardButton based on the value of needsInputModeSwitchKey when the viewDidLoad or viewWillAppear.
nextKeyboardButton.isHidden = !self.needsInputModeSwitchKey
However, my Xcode console always showed this error when I call the key at viewDidLoad, viewWillAppear, viewWillLayoutSubviews and viewDidLayoutSubviews.
2024-10-15 11:50:34.306515+0800 MyKeyboard[6040:25025964] [External] -[UIInputViewController needsInputModeSwitchKey] was called before a connection was established to the host application. This will produce an inaccurate result. Please make sure to call this after your primary view controller has been initialized.
The timing of connection was established to the host application. probably not related to the life cycle of extension? What's the right way use this key without warning?
In iOS, when using a UICollectionView with horizontal scrolling and only one row of cells: if all the cells have the same width, the spacing between cells is determined by minimumLineSpacing. If the cell widths are different, the spacing between cells is controlled by minimumInteritemSpacing. However, when the cell widths are different and the collectionView's height is smaller than the height of the cells, the minimumInteritemSpacing is applied to the left side of the first cell, causing the left margin of the first cell to become wider. Why does this happen?
I'm embedding PHPickerViewController in my application with a little bit of other chrome around it to provider context about how to upload.
But the fact that the controller has a translucent background to the videos when scrolling, and the rest of my UI doesn't, looks bad. Is there a way to customize the controller to either:
have the translucent background extend further than the extents of it, or
remove the translucent background entirely?
There's been an article where it says Apple/iOS apps can use the FONT_FAMILY='System' which is defaulted to use San Francisco (SF font). Is this valid Fontfamily to use? If yes, is it open source to use?
Hello everyone,
I'm working on an iOS application using Objective-C and UITabBarController. My app has more than 5 tabs, so the additional tabs are placed under the "More" tab. However, I've encountered an issue specific to iOS 18 where the first item in the "More" tab does not show up properly. This issue does not occur in iOS 17 or earlier versions.
Here's my setup method:
(void)mainTabbarSetUp {
NSMutableArray *tabItemArray = [NSMutableArray array];
UIViewController *viewController1, *viewController2, *viewController3, *viewController4, *viewController5, *viewController6, *viewController7;
UINavigationController *navviewController1, *navviewController2, *navviewController3, *navviewController4, *navviewController5, *navviewController6, *navviewController7;
viewController1 = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
navviewController1 = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:viewController1];
navviewController1.tabBarItem.title = @"Watch List";
navviewController1.tabBarItem.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"tab_icn_watchlist"];
[tabItemArray addObject:navviewController1];
// Similarly adding other view controllers...
viewController6 = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
navviewController6 = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:viewController6];
navviewController6.tabBarItem.title = @"Cancelled";
navviewController6.tabBarItem.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"tab_icn_cancelled"];
[tabItemArray addObject:navviewController6];
self.mainTabBarController.viewControllers = tabItemArray;
}
What I've Tried:
Verified that each view controller is correctly initialized and assigned to a UINavigationController before being added to the tab array.
Logged the contents of the moreNavigationController to confirm that it contains the correct view controllers.
Tested by reducing the number of view controllers to less than 5, and the issue does not occur.
Ensured that all UINavigationControllers are configured consistently (e.g., translucency, bar style, etc.).
I have an iOS app that relies on dynamic text size such that all fonts in the app respect the user's setting of Text Size in the iOS Settings app.
This app also runs on macOS via Mac Catalyst. But until macOS 14 Sonoma, there was no Text Size setting in the macOS Settings app. But even as of Sonoma, the Text Size setting isn't usable by 3rd party apps. And Sequoia doesn't seem to change that.
As a work around, my Mac Catalyst app provides its own Text Size setting. I was able to make it work by providing my own UIApplication subclass and overriding preferredContentSizeCategory. Under macOS 12 to macOS 14, this workaround works just fine and all fonts in the app created with code such as UIFont.preferredFont(forTextStyle:) gives appropriately sized fonts based on the overridden content size category.
However, this workaround stopped working with macOS 15 Sequoia. I've also tried code such as:
self.window.traitOverrides.preferredContentSizeCategory = myCustomSizeCategoryValue
and
self.window.maximumContentSizeCategory = myCustomSizeCategoryValue
self.window.minimumContentSizeCategory = myCustomSizeCategoryValue
in the scene delegate but that made no difference.
Is there any way to get code such as UIFont.preferredFont(forTextStyle:) to return an appropriately sized font based on some app provided content size category in a Mac Catalyst app running under macOS 15?
It sure would be nice if Mac Catalyst apps automatically responded to the macOS Text Size setting under Settings -> Accessibility -> Display -> Text Size just like a native iOS app.
Hello
I'm working on implementing some changes to my app's tab bar, particularly to support some features in the new iPad floating tab bar, which has required me to adopt some of the new tab APIs from iOS 18.
The issue I've encountered is that I would like the tabs visible in regular (floating tab bar) and compact (bottom tab bar) to be slightly different. The compact variant should show a subset of the tabs visible on iPad. For example:
Floating tab bar: Use tabs A, B, C
Bottom tab bar: Use tabs A, B
I'm finding this quite difficult, especially in the scenario of split view on iPad, where the size class and tab bar location can change as the user interacts with the app.
I went down the route of changing my tab bar controller's tabs property when the trait collection changed
tabBarController.tabs = eligibleTabs
where eligibleTabs for compact passes tabs AB, and when in regular - ABC. This throws an exception
UIViewController cannot be shared between multiple UITab
*** Assertion failure in -[UITab viewController], UITab.m:173
I'm not sharing view controllers between tabs. I can only assume that the system doesn't like me passing the same values (always at least tabs A & B) multiple times to the tabs property.
I then later noticed a new iOS 18 property on UITabBarController - compactTabIdentifiers. This seemed like exactly what I was looking for: An optional filter to display only select root-level tabs when in a compact appearance. Default is nil, which would make all tabs available.
So I changed my implementation:
tabBarController.tabs = [tabA, tabB, tabC] tabBarController.compactTabIdentifiers = [tabAIdentifier, tabBIdentifier]
and don't make any explicit updates when split view is enabled.
Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work, at least not how I would expect it to. When enabling split view on iPad, the bottom tab bar appears, but it doesn't respect the tab identifiers I passed in tabBarController.compactTabIdentifiers.
I'm not sure if this a bug or that I'm not really understanding how to use tabBarController.compactTabIdentifiers.
Does anyone have any insight on this?
I encountered a crash when calling the tabBarView:didSelectIndex: method, and it only happens on iOS 18.

I'm trying to create a brush by drawing in CGContext using a UIImage for a brush. However, I when I try drawing, the stroke is antialiased when I don't want it to be. I tried
context.interpolationQuality = .none
context.setShouldAntialias(false)
but it doesn't seem to work. Is it a problem with my brush or resizing the brush maybe?? (Also this problem doesn't occur when I draw a regular stroke without the brush.)
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Here is my draw function
override func draw(_ rect: CGRect) {
super.draw(rect)
guard let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext() else { return }
context.interpolationQuality = .none
context.setShouldAntialias(false)
for stroke in strokes {
let brush = UIColor.blue.circle(size: CGSize(width: CGFloat(stroke.width * 10), height: CGFloat(stroke.width * 10))).mask(color: UIColor(cgColor: stroke.color))
var first = true
for point in stroke.points {
if first {
first = false
context.move(to: point)
continue
}
context.addLine(to: point, using: brush)
}
}
}
Circle brush
extension UIColor {
func circle(size: CGSize = CGSize(width: 1, height: 1)) -> UIImage {
return UIGraphicsImageRenderer(size: size).image { rendererContext in
self.setFill()
UIBezierPath(ovalIn: CGRect(origin: .zero, size: size)).fill()
}
}
}
CGConext extension where I overloaded addLine
extension CGContext {
func addLine(to point: CGPoint, using brush: UIImage, density: CGFloat = 1.0) {
var frame: CGRect = .zero
frame.size = brush.size
let lastPoint = self.currentPointOfPath
let distanceX = point.x - lastPoint.x
let distanceY = point.y - lastPoint.y
let distanceR = sqrt(pow(distanceX, 2) + pow(distanceY, 2))
let deltaR = (1.0 / density)
let numOfSteps = ceil(distanceR / deltaR)
var renders : CGFloat = 0.0
let deltaX = distanceX / numOfSteps
let deltaY = distanceY / numOfSteps
var currentCenter = lastPoint
repeat {
frame.origin.x = currentCenter.x - frame.width / 2.0
frame.origin.y = currentCenter.y - frame.height / 2.0
brush.draw(in: frame)
currentCenter.x += deltaX
currentCenter.y += deltaY
renders += 1.0
} while (renders <= numOfSteps)
self.move(to: point)
}
}
Hi everyone,
If you're encountering the following error in Xcode while executing a simple webbrowser.open() command in your Python file, you're in the right place:
"BUG IN CLIENT OF UIKIT: The caller of UIApplication.openURL(:) needs to migrate to the non-deprecated UIApplication.open(:options:completionHandler:). Force returning false (NO)."
This issue arises because, starting from iOS 18, the UIApplication.openURL(:) method has been deprecated. If you created your project, dependencies, and the kivy-ios folder before iOS 18, every time you try to open a URL, the deprecated method will be called.
To resolve this issue without rebuilding the entire project and waiting for the kivy-ios toolchain to be updated, simply follow these steps:
At the very top of your main.py file remplace import webbrowser by :
from pyobjus import autoclass
from pyobjus.dylib_manager import load_framework
load_framework('/System/Library/Frameworks/UIKit.framework')
NSURL = autoclass('NSURL')
UIApplication = autoclass('UIApplication')
def open_url(url):
nsurl = NSURL.URLWithString_(url)
app = UIApplication.sharedApplication()
options = {}
app.openURL_options_completionHandler_(nsurl, options, None)
Then replace all your webbrowser.open(url) commands by open_url(url)
You no longer need webbrowser.
Hope it helped.
Summary
In iOS 18, the UICollectionViewDelegate method
collectionView(_:targetIndexPathForMoveOfItemFromOriginalIndexPath:atCurrentIndexPath:toProposedIndexPath:)
is not being called when moving items in a UICollectionView. This method works as expected in iOS 17.5 and earlier versions.
Steps to Reproduce
Create a UICollectionView with drag and drop enabled.
Implement the UICollectionViewDelegate method:
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, targetIndexPathForMoveOfItemFromOriginalIndexPath originalIndexPath: IndexPath, atCurrentIndexPath currentIndexPath: IndexPath, toProposedIndexPath proposedIndexPath: IndexPath) -> IndexPath {
print("🐸 Move")
return proposedIndexPath
}
Run the app on iOS 18.
Attempt to drag and drop items within the collection view.
Expected Behavior
The method should be called during the drag and drop operation, and "🐸 Move" should be printed to the console.
Actual Behavior
The method is not called, and nothing is printed to the console. The drag and drop operation still occurs, but without invoking this delegate method.
Configuration
iOS Version: 18
Xcode Version: Xcode 16.0.0
The UITextView.allowedWritingToolsResultOptions has no effect to how "Writing Tools" feature works. When it is set to empty, it still offer all options in the Writing Tools popup dialog. The result is that it is not possible to limit output results to eg. only plain text, or disable tables in output.
let textView = UITextView()
textView.isEditable = true
textView.writingToolsBehavior = .complete
textView.allowedWritingToolsResultOptions = []
resulting Writing Tools has all options available. I Tested with TextKit1 and TextKit 2 setup.
tested on iPadOS 18.1 beta (22B5069a)
