Has anyone gotten custom buttons to work on top of tvOS Map()? I've tried many variations of
FocusState
focusSection
.defaultFocus()
and as soon as the map appears at startup the buttons never get focus again. They are on a ZStack over the map. I could post code but truthfully nothing works for me. I'm wondering if anyone has successfully put focusable buttons on top of the map view.

Hi,
I am trying to create a local backup + restore when using SwiftUI and CoreData but I am facing errors left and right. the latest error I am stuck on is:
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: 'executeFetchRequest:error: A fetch request must have an entity.'
Here is what am trying to do:
Creating a backup (already solved using NSPersistentStoreCoordinator.migratePersistentStore(_:to:options:type:))
Create a new NSPersistentContainer and call its NSPersistentContainer.loadPersistentStores(completionHandler:) (already solved, load is successful)
Update the .environment(.managedObjectContext, viewModel.context) so that SwiftUI uses the new context. (HERE is where the error appears)
Any help would be appreciated.
Here is some sample code of SwiftUI part of the main view:
class ViewModel: ObservableObject {
@Published var context: NSManagedObjectContext
}
@main
struct MyApp: App {
@StateObject var viewModel: ViewModel
var body: some Scene {
WindowGroup {
ContentView()
.environment(\.managedObjectContext, viewModel.context)
}
}
}

I've encountered an issue where using @Observable in SwiftUI causes extra initializations and deinitializations when a reference type is included as a property inside a struct. Specifically, when I include a reference type (a simple class Empty {}) inside a struct (Test), DetailsViewModel is initialized and deinitialized twice instead of once. If I remove the reference type, the behavior is correct.
This issue does not occur when using @StateObject instead of @Observable. Additionally, I've submitted a feedback report: FB16631081.
Steps to Reproduce
Run the provided SwiftUI sample code (tested on iOS 18.2 & iOS 18.3 using Xcode 16.2).
Observe the console logs when navigating to DetailsView.
Comment out var empty = Empty() in the Test struct.
Run again and compare console logs.
Change @Observable in DetailsViewModel to @StateObject and observe that the issue no longer occurs.
Expected Behavior
The DetailsViewModel should initialize once and deinitialize once, regardless of whether Test contains a reference type.
Actual Behavior
With var empty = Empty() present, DetailsViewModel initializes and deinitializes twice. However, if the reference type is removed, or when using @StateObject, the behavior is correct (one initialization, one deinitialization).
Code Sample
import SwiftUI
enum Route {
case details
}
@MainActor
@Observable
final class NavigationManager {
var path = NavigationPath()
}
struct ContentView: View {
@State private var navigationManager = NavigationManager()
var body: some View {
NavigationStack(path: $navigationManager.path) {
HomeView()
.environment(navigationManager)
}
}
}
final class Empty { }
struct Test {
var empty = Empty() // Comment this out to make it work
}
struct HomeView: View {
private let test = Test()
@Environment(NavigationManager.self) private var navigationManager
var body: some View {
Form {
Button("Go To Details View") {
navigationManager.path.append(Route.details)
}
}
.navigationTitle("Home View")
.navigationDestination(for: Route.self) { route in
switch route {
case .details:
DetailsView()
.environment(navigationManager)
}
}
}
}
@MainActor
@Observable
final class DetailsViewModel {
var fullScreenItem: Item?
init() {
print("DetailsViewModel Init")
}
deinit {
print("DetailsViewModel Deinit")
}
}
struct Item: Identifiable {
let id = UUID()
let value: Int
}
struct DetailsView: View {
@State private var viewModel = DetailsViewModel()
@Environment(NavigationManager.self) private var navigationManager
var body: some View {
ZStack {
Color.green
Button("Show Full Screen Cover") {
viewModel.fullScreenItem = .init(value: 4)
}
}
.navigationTitle("Details View")
.fullScreenCover(item: $viewModel.fullScreenItem) { item in
NavigationStack {
FullScreenView(item: item)
.navigationTitle("Full Screen Item: \(item.value)")
.toolbar {
ToolbarItem(placement: .cancellationAction) {
Button("Cancel") {
withAnimation(completionCriteria: .logicallyComplete) {
viewModel.fullScreenItem = nil
} completion: {
var transaction = Transaction()
transaction.disablesAnimations = true
withTransaction(transaction) {
navigationManager.path.removeLast()
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
struct FullScreenView: View {
@Environment(\.dismiss) var dismiss
let item: Item
var body: some View {
ZStack {
Color.red
Text("Full Screen View \(item.value)")
.navigationTitle("Full Screen View")
}
}
}
Console Output
With var empty = Empty() in Test
DetailsViewModel Init
DetailsViewModel Init
DetailsViewModel Deinit
DetailsViewModel Deinit
Without var empty = Empty() in Test
DetailsViewModel Init
DetailsViewModel Deinit
Using @StateObject Instead of @Observable
DetailsViewModel Init
DetailsViewModel Deinit
Additional Notes
This issue occurs only when using @Observable. Switching to @StateObject prevents it. This behavior suggests a possible issue with how SwiftUI handles reference-type properties inside structs when using @Observable.
Using a struct-only approach (removing Empty class) avoids the issue, but that’s not always a practical solution.
Questions for Discussion
Is this expected behavior with @Observable?
Could this be an unintended side effect of SwiftUI’s state management?
Are there any recommended workarounds apart from switching to @StateObject?
Would love to hear if anyone else has run into this or if Apple has provided any guidance!
I'm currently integrating SwiftUI into an AppKit based application and was curious if the design pattern below was viable or not. In order to "bridge" between AppKit and SwiftUI, most of my SwiftUI "root" views have aViewModel that is accessible to the SwiftUI view via @ObservedObject.
When a SwiftUI views need to use NSViewRepresentable I'm finding the use of a ViewModel and a Coordinator to be an unnecessary layer of indirection. In cases where it makes sense, I've just used the ViewModel as the Coordinator and it all appears to be working ok, but I'm curious if this is reasonable design pattern or if I'm overlooking something.
Consider the following pseudo code:
// 1. A normal @ObservedObject acting as the ViewModel that also owns and manages an NSTableView.
@MainActor final class ViewModel: ObservedObject, NSTableView... {
let scrollView: NSScrollView
let tableView: NSTableView
@Published var selectedTitle: String
init() {
// ViewModel manages tableView as its dataSource and delegate.
tableView.dataSource = self
tableView.delegate = self
}
func reload() {
tableView.reloadData()
}
// Update view model properties.
// Simpler than passing back up through a Coordinator.
func tableViewSelectionDidChange(_ notification: Notification) {
selectedTitle = tableView.selectedItem.title
}
}
// 2. A normal SwiftUI view, mostly driven by the ViewModel.
struct ContentView: View {
@ObservedObject model: ViewModel
var body: some View {
Text(model.selectedTitle)
// No need to pass anything down other than the view model.
MyTableView(model: model)
Button("Reload") { model.reload() }
Button("Delete") { model.deleteRow(...) }
}
}
// 3. A barebones NSViewRepresentable that just vends the required NSView. No other state is required as the ViewModel handles all interactions with the view.
struct MyTableView: NSViewRepresentable {
// Can this even be an NSView?
let model: ViewModel
func makeNSView(context: Context) -> some NSView {
return model.scrollView
}
func updateNSView(_ nsView: NSViewType, context: Context) {
// Not needed, all updates are driven through the ViewModel.
}
}
From what I can tell, the above is working as expected, but I'm curious if there are some situations where this could "break", particularly around the lifecycle of NSViewRepresentable
Would love to know if overall pattern is "ok" from a SwiftUI perspective.
Anyone know how to reduce the padding between list section header (plain style) and search bar? I have tried all available method on google but none work. The default list style does not have this big padding/space between the section header and the search bar.
struct Demo: View {
@State private var searchText: String = ""
var body: some View {
NavigationStack {
List {
Section {
ForEach(0..<100) { index in
Text("Sample value for \(index)")
}
} header: {
Text("Header")
.font(.headline)
}
}
.listStyle(.plain)
.navigationTitle("Demo")
.navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.inline)
.searchable(text: $searchText)
}
}
}
Anybody can help me with the problems of splashboard?
My request is to create a launchScreen.storyboard that can follows system's theme. So in the storyboard i use the image set resource which is created in Assets.xcassets. But i encountered the following problems:
when i use image set resource,the splashboard is black, seems like springboard fail to generate the ktx file. But when i move the same image file to the root of Resource directory, it works. Why????
Some image works when it is put in Image set, some file can't. But all file don't work when the image set contains both light image and dark image. Why???
Suddenly it works for when i change compression attribute to lossess,so i guess the problems hanppened when my image is compressed. And two days later, the splash board is dark again when i debug. So what is the cache strategy for the splash board and the image resource used. How can i clear the cache, delete the app is not enough? Should i restart my phone?
That's all, anybody can help me?

Description:
When initiating the print flow via UIPrintInteractionController, and no printer is initially connected, iOS displays all possible paper sizes in the paper selection UI. However, if a printer connects in the background after this view is shown, the list of paper sizes does not automatically refresh to reflect only the options supported by the connected printer.
If the user selects an incompatible paper size (one not supported by the printer that has just connected), the app crashes due to an invalid configuration.
Steps to Reproduce:
Launch the app and navigate to the print functionality.
Tap the Print button to invoke UIPrintInteractionController.
At this point, no printer is yet connected. iOS displays all available paper sizes.
While the paper selection UI is visible, the AirPrint-compatible printer connects in the background.
Without dismissing the controller, the user selects a paper size (e.g., one that is not supported by the printer).
The app crashes.
Expected Result: App should not crash
Once the printer becomes available (connected in the background), the paper size options should refresh automatically.
The list should be filtered to only include sizes that are compatible with the connected printer.
This prevents the user from selecting an invalid option, avoiding crashes.
Actual Result: App crashes
The paper size list remains unfiltered.
The user can still select unsupported paper sizes.
Selecting an incompatible option causes the app to crash, due to a mismatch between UI selection and printer capability.

Could an Apple employee that works on SwiftUI please explain the update() func in the DynamicProperty protocol? The docs have ambiguous information, e.g.
"Updates the underlying value of the stored value."
and
"SwiftUI calls this function before rendering a view’s body to ensure the view has the most recent value."
From: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/dynamicproperty/update()
How can it both set the underlying value and get the most recent value? What does underlying value mean? What does stored value mean?
E.g. Is the code below correct?
struct MyProperty: DynamicProperty {
var x = 0
mutating func update() {
// get x from external storage
x = storage.loadX()
}
}
Or should it be:
struct MyProperty: DynamicProperty {
let x: Int
init(x: Int) {
self.x = x
}
func update() {
// set x on external storage
storage.save(x: x)
}
}
This has always been a mystery to me because of the ambigious docs so thought it was time to post a question.

Is it the default behavior that the standard back swipe (interactivePopGestureRecognizer) does not work when running a designed for iPhone app on an iPad?
To my knowledge, all apps behave this way.
Are there any workarounds?
I want to visualize the data stored in a DataFrame using various charts (barmark, sectormark, linemark, etc.).
My questions are as follows:
Can a DataFrame be used directly within a chart? If so, could you provide a simple example?
If it cannot be used directly, what is the correct way to use it? Could you provide an example?
Thank you for your help.
Best regards.
In order to make referencing keys for localized strings a little more reliable, our application references generated constants for localized string keys:
This eliminates the potential for developers to misspell a key when referencing a localized strings. And because these constants are automatically generated by the exact same process that provides localized strings for the application, each and every constant is guaranteed to have a localized string associated with it.
I’m currently attempting to implement something similar for the localized strings referenced by our new App Intents. Our initial release of App Intent functionality is simply using string literals to reference localized strings:
However, I am running into several issues when trying to reference the string keys as a constant. The closest I managed to get was defining the constant as either a LocalizationValue or as a StaticString and referencing the constant while initializing the LocalizedStringResource. With this approach, I see no errors from Xcode until I try and compile. What’s more is that the wording of the error being thrown is quite peculiar:
As you can see with the sample code above, I am clearly calling LocalizedStringResource’s initializer directly as Indicated by the error.
Is what I’m trying to do even possible with App Intents? From my research, it does look like iOS app localization is moving more towards using string literals for localized strings. Like with String Catalog’s ability to automatically generate entries from strings referenced in UI without the need for a key. However, we’d prefer to use constants if possible for the reasons listed above.
Problem Description
We are developing a app for iOS and iPadOS that involves extensive custom drawing of paths, shapes, texts, etc. To improve drawing and rendering speed, we use CARenderer to generate cached images (CGImage) on a background thread. We adopted this approach based on this StackOverflow post: https://stackoverflow.com/a/75497329/9202699.
However, we are experiencing frequent crashes in our production environment that we can hardly reproduce in our development environment. Despite months of debugging and seeking support from DTS and the Apple Feedback platform, we have not been able to fully resolve this issue. Our recent crash reports indicate that the crashes occur when calling CATransaction.commit().
We suspect that CATransaction may not be functioning properly outside the main thread. However, based on feedback from the Apple Feedback platform, we were advised to use CATransaction.begin() and CATransaction.commit() on a background thread.
If anyone has any insights, we would greatly appreciate it.
Code Sample
The line CATransaction.commit() is causing the crash: [EXC_BREAKPOINT: com.apple.root.****-qos.cooperative]
private let transactionLock = NSLock() // to ensure one transaction at a time
private let device = MTLCreateSystemDefaultDevice()!
@inline(never)
static func drawOnCGImageWithCARenderer(
layerRect: CGRect,
itemsToDraw: [ItemsToDraw]
)
-> CGImage? {
// We have encapsulated everything related to CALayer and its
// associated creations and manipulations within CATransaction
// as suggested by engineers from Apple Feedback Portal.
transactionLock.lock()
CATransaction.begin()
// Create the root layer.
let layer = CALayer()
layer.bounds = layerRect
layer.masksToBounds = true
// Add one sublayer for each item to draw
itemsToDraw.forEach { item in
// We have thousands or hundred thousands of drawing items to add.
// Each drawing item may produce a CALayer, CAShapeLayer or CATextLayer.
// This is also why we want to utilise CARenderer to leverage GPU rendering.
layer.addSublayer(
item.createCALayerOrCATextLayerOrCAShapeLayer()
)
}
// Create MTLTexture and CARenderer.
let textureDescriptor = MTLTextureDescriptor.texture2DDescriptor(
pixelFormat: .rgba8Unorm,
width: Int(layer.frame.size.width),
height: Int(layer.frame.size.height),
mipmapped: false
)
textureDescriptor.usage = [MTLTextureUsage.shaderRead, .shaderWrite, .renderTarget]
let texture = device.makeTexture(descriptor: textureDescriptor)!
let renderer = CARenderer(mtlTexture: texture)
renderer.bounds = layer.frame
renderer.layer = layer.self
/* ********************************************************* */
// From our crash report, this is where the crash happens.
CATransaction.commit()
/* ********************************************************* */
transactionLock.unlock()
// Rendering layers onto MTLTexture using CARenderer.
renderer.beginFrame(atTime: 0, timeStamp: nil)
renderer.render()
renderer.endFrame()
// Draw MTLTexture onto image.
guard
let colorSpace = CGColorSpace(name: CGColorSpace.sRGB),
let ciImage = CIImage(mtlTexture: texture, options: [.colorSpace: colorSpace]) else {
return nil
}
// Convert CIImage to CGImage.
let context = CIContext()
return context.createCGImage(ciImage, from: ciImage.extent)
}
How should I program the globe key? If possible, could you teach me in C language?

I'm trying to determine if it’s possible to detect when a user interacts with a Slide Over window while my app is running in the background on iPadOS. I've explored lifecycle methods such as scenePhase and various UIApplication notifications (e.g., willResignActiveNotification) to detect focus loss, but these approaches don't seem to capture the event reliably. Has anyone found an alternative solution or workaround for detecting this specific state change? Any insights or recommended practices would be greatly appreciated.
We're encountering a UX challenge with the automatic App Store notification banner that appears when users first launch our App Clips (not the App Clip sheet). This notification, which suggests downloading the full app, is creating confusion among our users. We've observed that some users tap the notification instead of completing their intended action within the App Clip, interrupting their workflow.
Is there a way to disable this banner?
Hi,
I have an existing Mac app on the App Store with a couple of widgets as part of the app. I want to now add a new widget to the WidgetBundle. When I build the updated app with Xcode, and then run the updated app, the widgets list doesn't seem to get updated in Notification Center or in the WidgetKit Simulator.
I do have the App Store version installed in the /Applications folder as well, so there might be some conflict. What's the trick to getting the widgets list to run the debug version?
