How can I make a new item from within a navigationlink?
Sorry if this is too basic, but I really can't figure out how to make this work. I am trying to make a journal app and I want to have a button that creates a new journalentry and then loads it. This code snippet (I removed irrelevant bits) shows how I'm trying to go about it. Basically, the newEntryButtons should launch a JournalPromptRoute for one of the different options: that's the method argument. But putting .createNewEntry() inside the argument means that new entries are being constantly created. I want the system to create a new entry once on the button press and then go to it from the navigationDestination area. Can anyone please explain to me how this is supposed to work? I believe the code snippet is detailed enough to get the point across but please let me know if you need more info. case library case blank(entry: Entry) case mystery case summary(entry: Entry) case entry(entry: Entry) } struct JournalHome: View { @ObservedObject var viewModel: JournalViewModel var mainContent: some View { ScrollView { newEntryButtons LazyVStack { ForEach(filteredEntries) { entry in NavigationLink( value: JournalPromptRoute.entry(entry: entry) ) { JournalCard(entry) } } } } } var body: some View { NavigationStack(path: $path) { mainContent .navigationDestination(for: JournalPromptRoute.self) { route in switch route { case .blank(let entry): JournalEntryView( entry: entry, index: 0, viewModel: viewModel ) } } } } var newEntryButtons: some View { ScrollView(.horizontal) { HStack(spacing: 15) { EntryButton( description: "Add blank entry", method: JournalPromptRoute.blank(entry: viewModel.createNewEntry()), viewModel: viewModel, path: $path ) EntryButton( description: "Select a Journey", method: JournalPromptRoute.library, viewModel: viewModel, path: $path ) EntryButton( description: "Let the Journey find you", method: JournalPromptRoute.mystery, viewModel: viewModel, path: $path ) } } } }

SwiftUI Bug on tvOS 18 – TextField Broken in Modals
Just noticed a bug in tvOS 18+: If you present a modal (.sheet or similar) that contains a TextField, click into the text field to select your text from keyboard, then press the Back button, the TextField becomes unclickable and we are not able to update the textfield again. This behavior didn’t happen in tvOS 17, so it seems to be a regression introduced in tvOS 18.3, tested only on silumator Repro steps: Present a modal with a TextField Focus and click the TextField Press the Back button to dismiss the keyBoard Try clicking the TextField → nothing happens (and textfield is full white) If anyone has a workaround, I’d love to hear it! struct ModalView: View { @State var text: String = "" var body: some View { TextField("", text: $text, prompt: Text("Prompt")) } } struct ContentView: View { @State var isModal: Bool = false var body: some View { NavigationView { ZStack { SwiftUI.Button.init { isModal = true } label: { Text("click") } } }.sheet(isPresented: $isModal) { ModalView() } } }

SwiftUI internal crash when interacting with long list quickly
Hello! We encountered a very intermittent crash with our application starting with devices running iOS 18.4. We have a screen that can display a long list of products in 2 states (expanded or collapsed) based off of a boolean if the user has interacted with that product yet. With this list, we very intermittently encounter a crash when we scroll like crazy up and down the list search the list quickly (search is performed each character change and list is filtered) Our project has iOS 17.0 as a minimum deployment target, and is Swift 6 enabled. Again, this started happening only with iOS 18.4, and is still visible (handful of occurrences each week). The crash report seems to be very internal to SwiftUI/Obj-c runtime. 5895AC17-6886-4070-BC80-8912E8394BDB.crash Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Specific ARKit node not showing in AR
After two types of objects correctly inserted as nodes in an augmented reality setting, I replicated exactly the same procedure with a third kind of objects that unfortunately refuse to show up. I checked the flow and it is the same as the other objects as well the content of the LocationAnnotation, but there is surely something that escapes me. Could someone help with some ideas? This is the common code, apart of the class: func appendInAR(ghostElement: Ghost){ let ghostElementAnnotationLocation=GhostLocationAnnotationNode(ghost: ghostElement) ghostElementAnnotationLocation.scaleRelativeToDistance = true sceneLocationView.addLocationNodeWithConfirmedLocation(locationNode: ghostElementAnnotationLocation) shownGhostsAnnotations.append(ghostElementAnnotationLocation) }

`UIHostingConfiguration` for cells not cancelling touches on `UIScrollView` scroll (drag)?
The default behavior on UIScrollView is that "canCancelContentTouches" is true. If you add a UIButton to a UICollectionViewCell and then scroll (drag) the scroll view with a touch beginning on that button in that cell, it cancels ".touchUpInside" on the UIButton. However, if you have a Button in a SwiftUI view configured with "contentConfiguration" it does not cancel the touch, and the button's action is triggered if the user is still touching that cell when the scroll (drag) completes. Is there a way to forward the touch cancellations to the SwiftUI view, or is it expected that all interactivity is handled only in UIKit, and not inside of "contentConfiguration" in specific cases? This behavior seems to occur on all SwiftUI versions supporting UIHostingConfiguration so far.

Updating sort order of items in a LazyVGrid
I have a grid setup where I'm displaying multiple images which is working fine. Images are ordered by the date they're added, newest to oldest. I'm trying to set it up so that the user can change the sort order themselves but am having trouble getting the view to update. I'm setting the fetch request using oldest to newest as default when initialising the view, then when its appears updating the sort descriptor struct ProjectImagesListView: View { @Environment(\.managedObjectContext) private var viewContext var project : Project let columns = [ GridItem(.flexible()), GridItem(.flexible()), GridItem(.flexible()), GridItem(.flexible()) ] @FetchRequest var pictures: FetchedResults<Picture> var body: some View { ScrollView { LazyVGrid(columns: columns) { ForEach(pictures) { picture in NavigationLink(destination: ProjectImageDetailView(picture: picture)) { if let pictureData = picture.pictureThumbnailData, let uiImage = UIImage(data: pictureData) { Image(uiImage: uiImage) .resizable() .scaledToFit() .frame(height: 100) } else { Image("missing") .resizable() .scaledToFit() .frame(height: 100) } } } } } .navigationBarTitle("\(project.name ?? "") Images", displayMode: .inline) .onAppear() { guard let sortOrder = getSettingForPhotoOrder() else { return } guard let sortOrderValue = sortOrder.settingValue else { return } NSLog("sortOrderPhotos: \(String(describing: sortOrder.settingValue))") if sortOrderValue == "Newest" { NSLog("sortOrderPhotos: Change from default") let newSortDescriptor = NSSortDescriptor(keyPath: \Picture.dateTaken, ascending: false) pictures.nsSortDescriptors = [newSortDescriptor] } } } func getSettingForPhotoOrder() -> Setting? { let fetchRequest: NSFetchRequest<Setting> = Setting.fetchRequest() fetchRequest.predicate = NSPredicate(format: "name = %@", "photoSortOrder") fetchRequest.fetchLimit = 1 do { let results = try viewContext.fetch(fetchRequest) return results.first } catch { print("Fetching Failed") } return nil } init(project: Project) { self.project = project _pictures = FetchRequest( entity: Picture.entity(), sortDescriptors: [ NSSortDescriptor(keyPath: \Picture.dateTaken, ascending: true) ], predicate: NSPredicate(format: "project == %@", project) ) } }

Scroll offset incorrectly resets when animating insertion of ScrollView using .geometryGroup()
Hey, I've been having a problem with scroll views in combination with the .geometryGroup() modifier. I have filed a Feedback (FB17698293) but I also wanted to post this here in case someone maybe has a better workaround for the problem. Problem Whenever you conditionally insert a ScrollView inside a VStack that is modified with a .geometryGroup() modifier, the scroll view content offset resets itself after the insertion animation is done, even if you started scrolling inside the scroll view during the animation and haven't let go of the screen. This happens consistently and is fully reproducible (see below), both using a simulator and a real device. Unfortunately, this is a very annoying glitch that ruins a lot of cool UX components that rely on .geometryGroup(). The weird thing is that the glitch entirely disappears, if you add a simple, non-zero (but greater than 1) .padding() modifier to the VStack (.padding().geometryGroup()). I have no idea why this fixes the glitch, but it does. However, adding a padding is not feasible in many situations, so this workaround is not ideal. Steps to reproduce Launch the code below (using a simulator or a real device) and tap "Toggle Expansion" to insert the scroll view. As the view is animating in, drag the scroll content and hold it scrolled away from the top. Wait for the animation to complete. The scroll view will reset the content offset, even though the drag gesture is still active (i.e. you haven't lifted your finger to release the scroll view) On a real device, this sometimes even leads to an even worse visual artifact where the scroll view is rendered twice for a few frames; once with the correct offset, and once with the reset offset. I wanted to include a link to a gif/video showing the glitch, but it tells me that imgur is not allowed on the forums. Expected Behavior I want the scroll view to respect the content offset, even if I started changing it mid-animation. Xcode Version I am using Xcode 16.4 (16F6) but this problem has been occurring since the .geometryGroup() modifier has been release. I was only now able to pinpoint this problem exactly, so I'm filing this feedback. Code The entire code that reproduces the problem: import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @State private var isExpanded: Bool = false var body: some View { VStack { if isExpanded { ScrollView { Text(loremIpsum) } } Button("Toggle Expansion") { isExpanded.toggle() } } // .padding(10) // Adding a non-zero padding makes the glitch disappear .frame(maxWidth: .infinity) .geometryGroup() .animation(.default, value: isExpanded) } } #Preview { ContentView().preferredColorScheme(.dark) } // MARK: - Mock Data let loremIpsum = """ 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.

RichText(markdown) live editor using TextEditor
hi everyone, any thought on how to implement a RichText(markdown) live editor using the new TextEditor(text: AttributedString, selection: AttributedTextSelection)? Having issues like: how to get the location of the selected text relatived to the TextEditor bounds, which is used to show and position a floating toolbar. how to detect the cursor point is a new line and the content is "# ", (of couse now the user enter a space after the "#"), and if so, how to apply a H1 heading format to that line much more issues like this, but these two are how to get me started, thanks struct TextEditor8: View { @State var text: AttributedString @State var selection = AttributedTextSelection() @State var isShowFloatingToolbar = false @State var toolbarPosition: CGPoint = .zero init() { var text = AttributedString("Hello ✋🏻,Who is ready for Cooking?") let range = text.characters.indices(where: \.isUppercase) text[range].foregroundColor = .blue _text = State(initialValue: text) } var body: some View { ZStack(alignment: .topLeading) { GeometryReader { geo in TextEditor(text: $text, selection: $selection) .onChange(of: selection, perform: { newV in let v = text[newV] if v.characters.isEmpty { isShowFloatingToolbar = false } else { isShowFloatingToolbar = true toolbarPosition = CGPoint(x: 20, y: 20) // how to get CGPoint relatived to TextEditor from selection } print("vvvv", v.characters.isEmpty) }) } if isShowFloatingToolbar { FloatingToolbarAtSelection() .position(toolbarPosition) } } } }

Use Custom UIApplication Subclass with SwiftUI
I have a SwiftUI app which needs the Ivanti AppConnect SDK. The docs only show how to integrate it into a Swift/UIKit app. But I need it to work with SwiftUI. I probably could make a UIKit base app and then load my existing SwiftUI views and code through a SwiftUI component host or something. But I'd like to avoid that if possible. Here is where I'm stuck: The AppConnect framework loads through a custom UIApplication subclass in the main.swift file: import Foundation import AppConnect UIApplicationMain( CommandLine.argc, CommandLine.unsafeArgv, ACUIApplicationClassName, NSStringFromClass(AppDelegate.self) ) The startup works as expected, and the expected function is called in the AppDelegate class: func application( _ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey : Any]? = nil) -> Bool {...} However, the SwiftUI view is not loaded and the scree stays blank. I implemented a SceneDelegate.swift class which doesn't seem to be called. Also, the following function in the AppDelegate doesn't get called either: func application( _ application: UIApplication, configurationForConnecting connectingSceneSession: UISceneSession, options: UIScene.ConnectionOptions) -> UISceneConfiguration {...} So how do I bootstrap SwiftUI with a custom UIApplication class? can that be done with the @main macro somehow? I'm still pretty new to Swift and iOS development. Any help is appreciated

SwiftUI incorrectly instantiating navigation destination with new identity when navigation stack is removed
There is an issue with SwiftUI where it is incorrectly instantiating the navigation destination view with a new identity for a navigation stack that is being removed. Here is a minimal reproducible example: struct ContentView: View { @State private var signedIn = false var body: some View { if signedIn { navigationStack(isSignedIn: true) } else { navigationStack(isSignedIn: false) } } private func navigationStack(isSignedIn: Bool) -> some View { NavigationStack(path: .constant(NavigationPath([1]))) { EmptyView() .navigationDestination(for: Int.self) { _ in VStack { Text(isSignedIn ? "Signed In" : "Signed Out") .foregroundStyle(Color.red) Button(isSignedIn ? "Sign Out" : "Sign In") { signedIn = !isSignedIn } } .onFirstAppear { print(isSignedIn ? "signed in" : "signed out") } } } } } struct OnFirstAppearView: ViewModifier { @State private var hasAppeared = false var onAppear: () -> Void func body(content: Content) -> some View { content .onAppear { if hasAppeared { return } hasAppeared = true onAppear() } } } extension View { func onFirstAppear(_ onAppear: @escaping () -> Void) -> some View { ModifiedContent(content: self, modifier: OnFirstAppearView(onAppear: onAppear)) } } When you launch the app it will print "signed out", but when you tap to Sign In it will print "signed out" and "signed in". This shows that onAppear is incorrectly being called for a view that is disappearing and worse yet, it is with a new identity. The onFirstAppear modifier was created to help with detecting the identity change of the view. Tested on Xcode 16.4, on simulator using iOS 18.5 and also on physical device using iOS 18.5.

Is configuration-style API (like UIButton.configuration) available for other UIKit or AppKit components?
In UIKit, UIButton provides a configuration property which allows us to create and customize a UIButton.Configuration instance independently (on a background thread or elsewhere) and later assign it to a UIButton instance. This separation of configuration and assignment is very useful for clean architecture and performance optimization. Questions: Is this configuration-style pattern (creating a configuration object separately and assigning it later) available or planned for other UIKit components such as UILabel, UITextField, UISlider, etc.? Similarly, in AppKit on macOS, are there any components (e.g. NSButton, NSTextField) that support a comparable configuration object mechanism that can be used the same way — constructed separately and assigned to the view later? This would help in building consistent configuration-driven UI frameworks across Apple platforms. Any insight or official guidance would be appreciated.

ARKit Camera Feed Zoom & Macro Support for Close-Range Objects
I am currently developing an AR experience using ARKit with SceneKit and am looking to implement functionality that enables: Zooming into the AR camera feed, ideally leveraging the ultra-wide or telephoto lenses available on supported devices. Macro-style focus capabilities, allowing users to view and interact with virtual content closely aligned with small or nearby real-world objects (within a few centimeters). My objective is to ensure that ARKit continues to render the scene accurately while enabling a zoomed-in view or macro-level focus for better detail visibility and alignment. Could you please advise on: Whether ARKit currently supports camera zoom or allows access to macro or ultra-wide cameras within an ARSession. Limitations or considerations when using multi-camera setups in conjunction with ARKit. Any guidance or references to documentation or sample code would be greatly appreciated.

How to read a value when tapping a point on a Chart3D
Hi. Chart3D seems to be perfect to visualize a chart on one of my apps. However I would need a way to read the point of a SurfacePlot of a Chart3D that was touched by the user? Something like a Chart .chartOverlay that has a ChartProxy that can convert screen coordinates of the chart in values, but in 3D (maybe using hit testing ). Thanks and best regards. João Colaço

Xcode Version I am using Xcode 16.4 (16F6) but this problem has been occurring since the .geometryGroup() modifier has been release. I was only now able to pinpoint this problem exactly, so I'm filing this feedback. Code The entire code that reproduces the problem: import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @State private var isExpanded: Bool = false var body: some View { VStack { if isExpanded { ScrollView { Text(loremIpsum) } } Button("Toggle Expansion") { isExpanded.toggle() } } // .padding(10) // Adding a non-zero padding makes the glitch disappear .frame(maxWidth: .infinity) .geometryGroup() .animation(.default, value: isExpanded) } } #Preview { ContentView().preferredColorScheme(.dark) } // MARK: - Mock Data let loremIpsum = """ 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.

ARQuickLook controls not displaying in SwiftUI
Hi, I'm embedding the QLPreviewController in a UIViewControllerRepresentable. When I view .usdz models I don't see the AR/Object selector at the top, nor the sharing button. I have tried presenting modally with a .sheet modifier and had the same result. What do I need to do to get the controls? Thanks, code attached. Code Spiff

RichText(markdown) live editor using TextEditor
hi everyone, any thought on how to implement a RichText(markdown) live editor using the new TextEditor(text: AttributedString, selection: AttributedTextSelection)? Having issues like: how to get the location of the selected text relatived to the TextEditor bounds, which is used to show and position a floating toolbar. how to detect the cursor point is a new line and the content is "# ", (of couse now the user enter a space after the "#"), and if so, how to apply a H1 heading format to that line much more issues like this, but these two are how to get me started, thanks struct TextEditor8: View { @State var text: AttributedString @State var selection = AttributedTextSelection() @State var isShowFloatingToolbar = false @State var toolbarPosition: CGPoint = .zero init() { var text = AttributedString("Hello ✋🏻,Who is ready for Cooking?") let range = text.characters.indices(where: \.isUppercase) text[range].foregroundColor = .blue _text = State(initialValue: text) } var body: some View { ZStack(alignment: .topLeading) { GeometryReader { geo in TextEditor(text: $text, selection: $selection) .onChange(of: selection, perform: { newV in let v = text[newV] if v.characters.isEmpty { isShowFloatingToolbar = false } else { isShowFloatingToolbar = true toolbarPosition = CGPoint(x: 20, y: 20) // how to get CGPoint relatived to TextEditor from selection } print("vvvv", v.characters.isEmpty) }) } if isShowFloatingToolbar { FloatingToolbarAtSelection() .position(toolbarPosition) } } } }

Use Custom UIApplication Subclass with SwiftUI
I have a SwiftUI app which needs the Ivanti AppConnect SDK. The docs only show how to integrate it into a Swift/UIKit app. But I need it to work with SwiftUI. I probably could make a UIKit base app and then load my existing SwiftUI views and code through a SwiftUI component host or something. But I'd like to avoid that if possible. Here is where I'm stuck: The AppConnect framework loads through a custom UIApplication subclass in the main.swift file: import Foundation import AppConnect UIApplicationMain( CommandLine.argc, CommandLine.unsafeArgv, ACUIApplicationClassName, NSStringFromClass(AppDelegate.self) ) The startup works as expected, and the expected function is called in the AppDelegate class: func application( _ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey : Any]? = nil) -> Bool {...} However, the SwiftUI view is not loaded and the scree stays blank. I implemented a SceneDelegate.swift class which doesn't seem to be called. Also, the following function in the AppDelegate doesn't get called either: func application( _ application: UIApplication, configurationForConnecting connectingSceneSession: UISceneSession, options: UIScene.ConnectionOptions) -> UISceneConfiguration {...} So how do I bootstrap SwiftUI with a custom UIApplication class? can that be done with the @main macro somehow? I'm still pretty new to Swift and iOS development. Any help is appreciated

SwiftUI incorrectly instantiating navigation destination with new identity when navigation stack is removed
There is an issue with SwiftUI where it is incorrectly instantiating the navigation destination view with a new identity for a navigation stack that is being removed. Here is a minimal reproducible example: struct ContentView: View { @State private var signedIn = false var body: some View { if signedIn { navigationStack(isSignedIn: true) } else { navigationStack(isSignedIn: false) } } private func navigationStack(isSignedIn: Bool) -> some View { NavigationStack(path: .constant(NavigationPath([1]))) { EmptyView() .navigationDestination(for: Int.self) { _ in VStack { Text(isSignedIn ? "Signed In" : "Signed Out") .foregroundStyle(Color.red) Button(isSignedIn ? "Sign Out" : "Sign In") { signedIn = !isSignedIn } } .onFirstAppear { print(isSignedIn ? "signed in" : "signed out") } } } } } struct OnFirstAppearView: ViewModifier { @State private var hasAppeared = false var onAppear: () -> Void func body(content: Content) -> some View { content .onAppear { if hasAppeared { return } hasAppeared = true onAppear() } } } extension View { func onFirstAppear(_ onAppear: @escaping () -> Void) -> some View { ModifiedContent(content: self, modifier: OnFirstAppearView(onAppear: onAppear)) } } When you launch the app it will print "signed out", but when you tap to Sign In it will print "signed out" and "signed in". This shows that onAppear is incorrectly being called for a view that is disappearing and worse yet, it is with a new identity. The onFirstAppear modifier was created to help with detecting the identity change of the view. Tested on Xcode 16.4, on simulator using iOS 18.5 and also on physical device using iOS 18.5.

Is configuration-style API (like UIButton.configuration) available for other UIKit or AppKit components?
In UIKit, UIButton provides a configuration property which allows us to create and customize a UIButton.Configuration instance independently (on a background thread or elsewhere) and later assign it to a UIButton instance. This separation of configuration and assignment is very useful for clean architecture and performance optimization. Questions: Is this configuration-style pattern (creating a configuration object separately and assigning it later) available or planned for other UIKit components such as UILabel, UITextField, UISlider, etc.? Similarly, in AppKit on macOS, are there any components (e.g. NSButton, NSTextField) that support a comparable configuration object mechanism that can be used the same way — constructed separately and assigned to the view later? This would help in building consistent configuration-driven UI frameworks across Apple platforms. Any insight or official guidance would be appreciated.

ARKit Camera Feed Zoom & Macro Support for Close-Range Objects
I am currently developing an AR experience using ARKit with SceneKit and am looking to implement functionality that enables: Zooming into the AR camera feed, ideally leveraging the ultra-wide or telephoto lenses available on supported devices. Macro-style focus capabilities, allowing users to view and interact with virtual content closely aligned with small or nearby real-world objects (within a few centimeters). My objective is to ensure that ARKit continues to render the scene accurately while enabling a zoomed-in view or macro-level focus for better detail visibility and alignment. Could you please advise on: Whether ARKit currently supports camera zoom or allows access to macro or ultra-wide cameras within an ARSession. Limitations or considerations when using multi-camera setups in conjunction with ARKit. Any guidance or references to documentation or sample code would be greatly appreciated.

Requesting user Permission for Speech Framework crashes visionOS simulator
When a new application runs on VisionOS 2.4 simulator and tries to access the Speech Framework, prompting a request for authorisation to use Speech Recognition, the application freezes. Using Swift 6. Report Identifier: FB17666252 @MainActor func checkAvailabilityAndPermissions() async { logger.debug("Checking speech recognition availability and permissions...") // 1. Verify that the speechRecognizer instance exists guard let recognizer = speechRecognizer else { logger.error("Speech recognizer is nil - speech recognition won't be available.") reportError(.configurationError(description: "Speech recognizer could not be created."), context: "checkAvailabilityAndPermissions") self.isAvailable = false return } // 2. Check recognizer availability (might change at runtime) if !recognizer.isAvailable { logger.error("Speech recognizer is not available for the current locale.") reportError(.configurationError(description: "Speech recognizer not available."), context: "checkAvailabilityAndPermissions") self.isAvailable = false return } logger.trace("Speech recognizer exists and is available.") // 3. Request Speech Recognition Authorization // IMPORTANT: Add `NSSpeechRecognitionUsageDescription` to Info.plist let speechAuthStatus = SFSpeechRecognizer.authorizationStatus() // FAILS HERE logger.debug("Current Speech Recognition authorization status: \(speechAuthStatus.rawValue)") if speechAuthStatus == .notDetermined { logger.info("Requesting speech recognition authorization...") // Use structured concurrency to wait for permission result let authStatus = await withCheckedContinuation { continuation in SFSpeechRecognizer.requestAuthorization { status in continuation.resume(returning: status) } } logger.debug("Received authorization status: \(authStatus.rawValue)") // Now handle the authorization result let speechAuthorized = (authStatus == .authorized) handleAuthorizationStatus(status: authStatus, type: "Speech Recognition") // If speech is granted, now check microphone if speechAuthorized { await checkMicrophonePermission() } } else { let speechAuthorized = (speechAuthStatus == .authorized) handleAuthorizationStatus(status: speechAuthStatus, type: "Speech Recognition") // If speech is already authorized, check microphone if speechAuthorized { await checkMicrophonePermission() } } }

How to read a value when tapping a point on a Chart3D
Hi. Chart3D seems to be perfect to visualize a chart on one of my apps. However I would need a way to read the point of a SurfacePlot of a Chart3D that was touched by the user? Something like a Chart .chartOverlay that has a ChartProxy that can convert screen coordinates of the chart in values, but in 3D (maybe using hit testing ). Thanks and best regards. João Colaço

Can Custom scheme URL launch cached App Clip?
I am trying to add custom scheme (CFBundleURLSchemes) to my App Clip. I launch the app clip via TestFlight to cache it to the device then i try to access the custom scheme URL to launch App Clip but nothing happened. May I know if it is something I did wrongly or just App Clip does not support Custom Scheme?
