Scroll to Top gesture breaks when setting List or ScrollView background
When a ScrollView or List is nested in a TabView, you can press on the tab button and the scroll view will scroll to top. import SwiftUI struct SwiftUIView: View { let items = (1...100).map { "Item \($0)" } var body: some View { TabView { Tab("home", systemImage: "house") { ScrollView { ForEach(items, id: \.self) { item in Text(item) .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, alignment: .center) } } } } } } #Preview { SwiftUIView() } But if we add a background to the ScrollView, the scroll to top gesture breaks. import SwiftUI struct SwiftUIView: View { let items = (1...100).map { "Item \($0)" } var body: some View { TabView { Tab("home", systemImage: "house") { ScrollView { ForEach(items, id: \.self) { item in Text(item) .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, alignment: .center) } } // Set background on ScrollView. .background(Color.red) } } } } #Preview { SwiftUIView() } I made a similar post on StackOverflow, but haven't been able to find a proper solution. This feels like a bug of some sort in SwiftUI.

Control Widget SF image cannot stably display
I'm working on the control widget which should display the SF image on the UI, but I have found that it cannot be displayed stably. I have three ExampleControlWidget which is about the type egA egB and egC, it should all be showed but now they only show the text and placeholder. I'm aware of the images should be SF image and I can see them to show perfectly sometimes, but in other time it is just failed. This's really confused me, can anyone help me out? public enum ControlWidgetType: Sendable { case egA case egB case egC public var imageName: String { switch self { case .egA: return "egA" case .egB: return "egB" case .egC: return "egC" } } } struct ExampleControlWidget: ControlWidget { var body: some ControlWidgetConfiguration { AppIntentControlConfiguration( kind: kind, provider: Provider() ) { example in ControlWidgetToggle( example.name, isOn: example.state.isOn, action: ExampleControlWidgetIntent(id: example.id), valueLabel: { isOn in ExampleControlWidgetView( statusText: isOn ? Localization.on.text : Localization.off.text, bundle: bundle, widgetType: .egA //or .egB .egC ) .symbolEffect(.pulse) } ) .disabled(example.state.isDisabled) } .promptsForUserConfiguration() } } public struct ExampleControlWidgetView: View { private let statusText: String private let bundle: Bundle private var widgetType: ControlWidgetType = .egA public init(statusText: String, bundle: Bundle, widgetType: ControlWidgetType) { self.statusText = statusText self.bundle = bundle self.widgetType = widgetType } public var body: some View { Label( statusText, image: .init( name: widgetType.imageName, // the SF Symbol image id bundled in the Widget extension bundle: bundle ) ) } } This is the normal display: These are the display that do not show properly: The results has no rules at all, I have tried to completely uninstall the APP and reinstall but the result is same.

SwiftUI Table performance issue
I found the Table with Toggle will have performance issue when the data is large. I can reproduce it in Apple demo: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/building_a_great_mac_app_with_swiftui Replace with a large mock data, for example database.json Try to scroll the table, it's not smooth. I found if I delete the Toggle, the performance be good. TableColumn("Favorite", value: \.favorite, comparator: BoolComparator()) { plant in Toggle("Favorite", isOn: $garden[plant.id].favorite) .labelsHidden() } Is this bug in SwiftUI? Any workaround? My Mac is Intel, not sure it can repro on Apple Silicon

AppIntent perform method not called.
We have a widget bundle with multiple widgets. I'm adding a widget that is interactive (iOS 17 and higher). Our widget code is in a static library that gets linked into the widget extension target in our main app Xcode project. I have SwiftUI buttons constructed with the intent constructor in our UI See https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/button/init(intent:label:) When I press the button the timeline refreshes (conforming to TimelineProvider) but the perform method doesn't seem to be called. I've seen multiple pieces of advice and none of them seem to work. I've tried on a physical device and a simulator. I've tried adding an AppIntentsPackage. I've tried including the AppIntent code in the app and the widget. I've tried setting the openAppWhenRun to true and false and not setting it at all. I've tried simplifying the intent to just printing out a line to the console and returning a result. At this point I have no idea how to debug this and I don't know what else to try. I appreciate any helpful advice at this point.

[StoreKit] Runtime warning with manageSubscriptionsSheet and ObservableObject
The following runtime warning is emitted by Xcode when using the manageSubscriptionsSheet with an ObservableObject: \ContentViewModel.isPresented is isolated to the main actor. Accessing it via Binding from a different actor will cause undefined behaviors, and potential data races; This warning will become a runtime crash in a future version of SwiftUI. Publishing changes from background threads is not allowed; make sure to publish values from the main thread (via operators like receive(on:)) on model updates. This minimal sample project reproduces the issue: class ContentViewModel: ObservableObject { @Published var isPresented = false func didTapButton() { self.isPresented = true } } struct ContentView: View { @ObservedObject var viewModel: ContentViewModel var body: some View { Button("Tap me") { self.viewModel.didTapButton() } .manageSubscriptionsSheet(isPresented: self.$viewModel.isPresented) } } Reproduced on: Xcode 16.2 Xcode 16.3 beta both with a simulator and a real device. This doesn't happen when using @Observable.

iOS 18.4 Beta: On iPhones which support Dynamic Island, the AppDelegate method applicationDidBecomeActive() takes longer to be called.
When testing with iOS 18.4 Beta on iPhones which support Dynamic Island, after doing a Face ID authentication, the amount of time it takes before the AppDelegate method applicationDidBecomeActive() is called takes longer than iPhones that do not support Dynamic Island. The time it takes is about double, 1.2 seconds vs 2.5 seconds on average. This does not occur with versions before 18.4 Beta. Anyone else seeing this?

NSTextView doesn't correctly redraw when deleting text and setting attribute at the same time
It seems that NSTextView has an issue with deleting text and setting any attribute at the same time, when it also has a textContainerInset. With the code below, after 1 second, the empty line in the text view is automatically deleted and the first line is colored red. The top part of the last line remains visible at its old position. Selecting the whole text and then deselecting it again makes the issue disappear. Is there a workaround? I've created FB16897003. class ViewController: NSViewController { @IBOutlet var textView: NSTextView! override func viewDidAppear() { textView.textContainerInset = CGSize(width: 0, height: 8) let _ = textView.layoutManager textView.textStorage!.setAttributedString(NSAttributedString(string: "1\n\n2\n3\n4")) textView.textStorage!.addAttribute(.foregroundColor, value: NSColor.labelColor, range: NSRange(location: 0, length: textView.textStorage!.length)) DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 1) { [self] in textView.selectedRange = NSRange(location: 3, length: 0) textView.deleteBackward(nil) textView.textStorage!.beginEditing() textView.textStorage!.addAttribute(.foregroundColor, value: NSColor.red, range: NSRange(location: 0, length: 2)) textView.textStorage!.endEditing() } } }

NSTextLineFragment crash - how to debug
We have crash reports as shown below that we haven't yet been able to repro and could use some help deubgging. My guess is that the app is giving a label or text view an attributed string with an invalid attribute range, but attributed strings are used in many places throughout the app, and I don't know an efficient way to track this down. I'm posting the stack trace here in hopes that someone more familiar with the internals of the system frameworks mentioned will be able to provide a clue to help narrow where I should look.

NSDocumentController not adding "Open Recent" menu
I have a SwiftUI based app. For lots of reasons I was forced to use NSDocument instead of using DocumentGroup. I configure the main menu in my AppDelegate. It has the following code: let fileMenuItem = NSMenuItem() let fileMenu = NSMenu(title: "File") fileMenu.addItem(withTitle: "New", action: #selector(NSDocumentController.newDocument(_:)), keyEquivalent: "n") fileMenu.addItem(withTitle: "Open...", action: #selector(NSDocumentController.openDocument(_:)), keyEquivalent: "o") The New and Open work as expected. It is my understanding that the NSDocumentController should automatically add the "Open Recent" menu when it sees the Open action based on the NSDocumentController. It is not appearing. When I print the state of the recent documents using print("recent documents \(NSDocumentController.shared.recentDocumentURLs), maximum \(NSDocumentController.shared.maximumRecentDocumentCount)") I see the recent document urls and a count of 10. What can I do to make the menu appear? Thanks for the help.

Collection view with self-sizing cells with SwiftUI content
I am trying to make a collection view with self-sizing cells that adapt to SwiftUI content. My test platform is macOS, but it should work on iOS all the same. I chose macOS because on macOS, you can resize the window and cause more interesting scenarios with that. My layout intent is fairly simple: a one-column collection view with cells with SwiftUI content, where the collection view cells should adapt to the height of their SwiftUI content. I got it working almost correctly. The one scenario that I don’t have working is window resizing. When the window resizes, the layout and cells should adapt to the content and change their heights. I feel that I am missing something fairly basic. How do I change this project so that the layout works correctly when I change the macOS window width? Example project and video of the behavior: https://gist.github.com/jaanus/66e3d863941ba645c88220b8a22970e1

Crash when assigning NSImage to `@objc dynamic var` property
Xcode downloaded a crash report for my app which I don't quite understand. It seems the following line caused the crash: myEntity.image = newImage where myEntity is of type MyEntity: class MyEntity: NSObject, Identifiable { @objc dynamic var image: NSImage! ... } The code is called on the main thread. According to the crash report, thread 0 makes that assignment, and at the same time thread 16 is calling [NSImageView asynchronousPreparation:prepareResultUsingParameters:]. What could cause such a crash? Could I be doing something wrong or is this a bug in macOS? crash.crash

Dynamic island not displaying UI views
i finally got previews for dynamic island to work and I'm just trying to first work on adding a static UI elements to my dynamic island like i did for my live screen live activity, but my dynamic island view is showing up totally empty, if i add my app icon image to the compact leading closure, it doesn't appear, if i ad text to an expanded region closure it doesn't appear. am really stuck on this and would approeciate the help. var body: some View { Image("dynamicrep") .resizable() .scaledToFit() .clipShape(.circle) } } struct DynamicRepLiveActivity: Widget { var body: some WidgetConfiguration { ActivityConfiguration(for: DynamicRepAttributes.self) { context in VStack { HStack(spacing: 257) { Text("from \(context.attributes.titleName ??

self.window.isVisible = NO not working in windowDidLoad
The following code won't work: - (void)windowDidLoad { [super windowDidLoad]; self.window.isVisible = NO; } The only main window still shows on application startup (in a minimal newly created app). One of my published apps in App Store relies on this behavior which had been working for many years since I started Xcode development.

UISheetPresentationController with top attached views
I am using UISheetPresentationController to show bottom sheets like the one in Apple Maps. It works very well. In Apple Maps, there is a weather indicator that sits on top of the presented sheets and follows it (to a point) when the sheet is dragged up or down. I would like to mimic this behavior for my own bottom sheets to have content from the presenting view controller stay visible while the sheet is presented. How do I do this? Is this even possible? I think I'm looking for some kind of layout guide that sits on top of the presented sheet.

It seems that NSTextView has an issue with deleting text and setting any attribute at the same time, when it also has a textContainerInset. With the code below, after 1 second, the empty line in the text view is automatically deleted and the first line is colored red. The top part of the last line remains visible at its old position. Selecting the whole text and then deselecting it again makes the issue disappear. Is there a workaround? I've created FB16897003. class ViewController: NSViewController { @IBOutlet var textView: NSTextView! override func viewDidAppear() { textView.textContainerInset = CGSize(width: 0, height: 8) let _ = textView.layoutManager textView.textStorage!.setAttributedString(NSAttributedString(string: "1\n\n2\n3\n4")) textView.textStorage!.addAttribute(.foregroundColor, value: NSColor.labelColor, range: NSRange(location: 0, length: textView.textStorage!.length)) DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 1) { [self] in textView.selectedRange = NSRange(location: 3, length: 0) textView.deleteBackward(nil) textView.textStorage!.beginEditing() textView.textStorage!.addAttribute(.foregroundColor, value: NSColor.red, range: NSRange(location: 0, length: 2)) textView.textStorage!.endEditing() } } }

NSTextLineFragment crash - how to debug
We have crash reports as shown below that we haven't yet been able to repro and could use some help deubgging. My guess is that the app is giving a label or text view an attributed string with an invalid attribute range, but attributed strings are used in many places throughout the app, and I don't know an efficient way to track this down. I'm posting the stack trace here in hopes that someone more familiar with the internals of the system frameworks mentioned will be able to provide a clue to help narrow where I should look.

NSDocumentController not adding "Open Recent" menu
I have a SwiftUI based app. For lots of reasons I was forced to use NSDocument instead of using DocumentGroup. I configure the main menu in my AppDelegate. It has the following code: let fileMenuItem = NSMenuItem() let fileMenu = NSMenu(title: "File") fileMenu.addItem(withTitle: "New", action: #selector(NSDocumentController.newDocument(_:)), keyEquivalent: "n") fileMenu.addItem(withTitle: "Open...", action: #selector(NSDocumentController.openDocument(_:)), keyEquivalent: "o") The New and Open work as expected. It is my understanding that the NSDocumentController should automatically add the "Open Recent" menu when it sees the Open action based on the NSDocumentController. It is not appearing. When I print the state of the recent documents using print("recent documents \(NSDocumentController.shared.recentDocumentURLs), maximum \(NSDocumentController.shared.maximumRecentDocumentCount)") I see the recent document urls and a count of 10. What can I do to make the menu appear? Thanks for the help.

Collection view with self-sizing cells with SwiftUI content
I am trying to make a collection view with self-sizing cells that adapt to SwiftUI content. My test platform is macOS, but it should work on iOS all the same. I chose macOS because on macOS, you can resize the window and cause more interesting scenarios with that. My layout intent is fairly simple: a one-column collection view with cells with SwiftUI content, where the collection view cells should adapt to the height of their SwiftUI content. I got it working almost correctly. The one scenario that I don’t have working is window resizing. When the window resizes, the layout and cells should adapt to the content and change their heights. I feel that I am missing something fairly basic. How do I change this project so that the layout works correctly when I change the macOS window width? Example project and video of the behavior: https://gist.github.com/jaanus/66e3d863941ba645c88220b8a22970e1

Crash when assigning NSImage to `@objc dynamic var` property
Xcode downloaded a crash report for my app which I don't quite understand. It seems the following line caused the crash: myEntity.image = newImage where myEntity is of type MyEntity: class MyEntity: NSObject, Identifiable { @objc dynamic var image: NSImage! ... } The code is called on the main thread. According to the crash report, thread 0 makes that assignment, and at the same time thread 16 is calling [NSImageView asynchronousPreparation:prepareResultUsingParameters:]. What could cause such a crash? Could I be doing something wrong or is this a bug in macOS? crash.crash

Dynamic island not displaying UI views
i finally got previews for dynamic island to work and I'm just trying to first work on adding a static UI elements to my dynamic island like i did for my live screen live activity, but my dynamic island view is showing up totally empty, if i add my app icon image to the compact leading closure, it doesn't appear, if i ad text to an expanded region closure it doesn't appear. am really stuck on this and would approeciate the help. var body: some View { Image("dynamicrep") .resizable() .scaledToFit() .clipShape(.circle) } } struct DynamicRepLiveActivity: Widget { var body: some WidgetConfiguration { ActivityConfiguration(for: DynamicRepAttributes.self) { context in VStack { HStack(spacing: 257) { Text("from \(context.attributes.titleName ?? "no title")") .fontWeight(.light) .font(.system(size: 16)) .foregroundStyle(Color.gray) Circle() .frame(width: 53, height: 50) .foregroundStyle(Color.gray).opacity(0.23) .overlay { Image("mmicon") } } .frame(maxWidth: 500, maxHeight: 210) Spacer() Text("\(context.attributes.contentBody ?? "no content")") } .activityBackgroundTint(Color.cyan) .activitySystemActionForegroundColor(Color.black) .frame(width: 500, height: 300) } dynamicIsland: { context in DynamicIsland { // Expanded UI goes here. Compose the expanded UI through // various regions, like leading/trailing/center/bottom DynamicIslandExpandedRegion(.leading) { Text("from \(context.attributes.titleName ?? "no title")") } DynamicIslandExpandedRegion(.trailing) { Circle() } DynamicIslandExpandedRegion(.bottom) { Text("\(context.attributes.contentBody ?? "no content")") } } compactLeading: { AppLogo() } compactTrailing: { Text("") //empty for now } minimal: { Text("hello") //empty for now } .widgetURL(URL(string: "MuscleMemory.KimchiLabs.com")) .keylineTint(Color.white) } } }

self.window.isVisible = NO not working in windowDidLoad
The following code won't work: - (void)windowDidLoad { [super windowDidLoad]; self.window.isVisible = NO; } The only main window still shows on application startup (in a minimal newly created app). One of my published apps in App Store relies on this behavior which had been working for many years since I started Xcode development.

UISheetPresentationController with top attached views
I am using UISheetPresentationController to show bottom sheets like the one in Apple Maps. It works very well. In Apple Maps, there is a weather indicator that sits on top of the presented sheets and follows it (to a point) when the sheet is dragged up or down. I would like to mimic this behavior for my own bottom sheets to have content from the presenting view controller stay visible while the sheet is presented. How do I do this? Is this even possible? I think I'm looking for some kind of layout guide that sits on top of the presented sheet.
