In WWDC25 video 284: Build a UIKit app with the new design, there is mention of a cornerConfiguration property on UIVisualEffectView. But this properly isn't documented and Xcode 26 isn't aware of any such property. I'm trying to replicate the results of that video in the section titled Custom Elements starting at the 19:15 point. There is a lot of missing details and typos in the code associated with that video. My attempts with UIGlassEffect and UIViewEffectView do not result in any capsule shapes. I just get rectangles with no rounded corners at all. As an experiment, I am trying to recreate the capsule with the layers/location buttons in the iOS 26 version of the Maps app. I put the following code in a view controller's viewDidLoad method let imgCfgLayer = UIImage.SymbolConfiguration(hierarchicalColor: .systemGray) let imgLayer = UIImage(systemName: "square.2.layers.3d.fill", withConfiguration: imgCfgLayer) var cfgLayer = UIButton.Configuration.plain() cfgLayer.image = imgLayer let btnLayer = UIButton(configuration: cfgLayer, primaryAction: UIAction(handler: { _ in print("layer") })) var cfgLoc = UIButton.Configuration.plain() let imgLoc = UIImage(systemName: "location") cfgLoc.image = imgLoc let btnLoc = UIButton(configuration: cfgLoc, primaryAction: UIAction(handler: { _ in print("location") })) let bgEffect = UIGlassEffect() bgEffect.isInteractive = true let bg = UIVisualEffectView(effect: bgEffect) bg.contentView.addSubview(btnLayer) bg.contentView.addSubview(btnLoc) view.addSubview(bg) btnLayer.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false btnLoc.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false bg.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false NSLayoutConstraint.activate([ btnLayer.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: bg.contentView.leadingAnchor), btnLayer.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: bg.contentView.trailingAnchor), btnLayer.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: bg.contentView.topAnchor), btnLoc.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: bg.contentView.centerXAnchor), btnLoc.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: btnLayer.bottomAnchor, constant: 15), btnLoc.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: bg.contentView.bottomAnchor), bg.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.centerXAnchor), bg.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.topAnchor, constant: 40), ]) The result is pretty close other than the complete lack of capsule shape. What changes would be needed to get the capsule shape? Is this even the proper approach?

Hello, im getting popping / crackling sounds from my Macbook Pro (M4 2024) speakers. This happens when you do many certain tasks like click buttons or toggling switches when xcode has a simulator open and any background audio is playing, like spotify. The speakers go crazy especially when starting the simulator in xcode with music in background. Ive tried: Using blackhole, and changing audio output in the simulator app Deleting both .plist files form preferences file. "coreaudiod" trick in terminal restarting many times different xcode versions and simulators and swift files Nothing has worked. Any help?

Try this simple code: import SwiftUI import StoreKit struct ReviewView: View { @Environment(\.requestReview) var requestReview var body: some View { Button("Leave a review") { requestReview() } } } When the Review Alert shows, the "Not Now" button is disabled for some reason!? It was always tappable in all iOS versions that I remember. And there is no way to opt out, unless the user taps on the stars first. Is it a bug or a feature? Thanks for looking into it!

I've discovered an issue with using iOS 16's Transferable drag-and-drop APIs for SwiftUI. The dropDestination modifier does not work when applied to a subview of a List. This code below will not work, unless you replace the List with a VStack or any other container (which, of course, removes all list-specific rendering). The draggable modifier will still work and the item will drag, but the dropDestination view won't react to it and neither closure will be called. struct MyView: View { var body: some View { List { Section { Text("drag this title") .font(.largeTitle) .draggable("a title") } Section { Color.pink .frame(width: 400, height: 400) .dropDestination(for: String.self) { receivedTitles, location in true } isTargeted: { print($0) } } } } } Has anyone encountered this bug and perhaps found a workaround?

Before I waste time creating an Apple Developer Support ticket, I’m hoping an Apple DTS engineer can confirm if this is just log noise. Here’s the code: import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @State private var editMode: EditMode = .inactive @State private var items = ["Item 1", "Item 2", "Item 3"] var body: some View { NavigationStack { List { ForEach(items, id: \.self) { item in Text(item) } .onDelete { indexSet in items.remove(atOffsets: indexSet) } } .environment(\.editMode, $editMode) .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarTrailing) { EditButton() .environment(\.editMode, $editMode) } } } } } #Preview { ContentView() } When you run this code and tap Edit, you’ll initially get: CoreSVG has logged an error. Set environment variabe [sic] "CORESVG_VERBOSE" to learn more. After setting CORESVG_VERBOSE = YES, you’ll see: CoreSVG: Error: NULL ref passed to getObjectCoreSVG: Error: NULL ref passed to getObject This error only appears the first time Edit is tapped after a build and run. It won't happen again, even after force-quitting and reopening the app. The issue also only happens on iOS 18.0 and 18.1—I can’t reproduce it on iOS 17.5. Fortunately, it doesn’t seem to cause any negative side effects. Is this just log noise?

Environment iOS 26 (23A343) Xcode 26 Reproduces on device and Simulator Description When presenting a SwiftUI WebView (native iOS 26 component) or a WKWebView/UIWebView via UIViewRepresentable, focusing a text field inside the web view and then dismissing it breaks the keyboard layout behavior. After returning to the main app, tapping any TextField causes the keyboard to cover bottom controls (e.g. buttons). Expected safe area insets are not applied. The issue is only resolved after closing and reopening the keyboard once. Steps to Reproduce Open a SwiftUI screen with WebView (via .sheet or NavigationLink). Inside the web view, tap a text field to show the keyboard. Dismiss the web view. Tap a TextField in the main app. Expected Result Layout should adjust correctly. Bottom controls stay visible above the keyboard. Actual Result Keyboard covers bottom controls. Insets are ignored until the keyboard is dismissed and reopened.

Hello Apple Developer Community: I have a problem with the fullscreencover. I can see the Things, that shouldn’t be visible behind it. I’m currently developing with iOS 26 and only there it happens. I hope you can help me :) Have a nice day

It looks like we're encountering a similar hitTest issue to what we had with iOS Xcode 16 + iOS 18. When running Xcode 26 + iOS 26, rootViewController?.view.subviews is returning an empty array, even though the views are clearly present in the hierarchy. Last year, we "fixed" this issue using the code attached, but it doesn't seem to work anymore with iOS 26. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! private class PassthroughWindow: UIWindow { override func hitTest(_ point: CGPoint, with event: UIEvent?) -> UIView? { guard let hitView = super.hitTest(point, with: event), let rootView = rootViewController?.view else { return nil } if #available(iOS 18, *) { for subview in rootView.subviews.reversed() { let convertedPoint = subview.convert(point, from: rootView) if subview.hitTest(convertedPoint, with: event) != nil { return hitView } } return nil } else { return hitView == rootView ? nil : hitView } } }

I'm running into a persistent problem with the iOS 18.5 simulator in Xcode 26 beta 2.

Using an App Clip link encoded into a QR Code shows an error when scanning the encoded QR Code on an iPhone or iPad. After being scanned, the App Clip's banner is visible, but a message says: "App Clip Unavailable". Accessing the same App Clip URL via Safari works as expected.

Why is the UIKeyboard implementation still holding a reference to this UITextField, thus keeping it from being deallocated? The memory debugger shows: UIKeyboardImpl -> UIKBAutofillController -> NSMutableDictionary -> NSMutable...(Storage) -> UITextField Any idea what's going on there?

I noticed that trying to access safeAreaInsets from the active window causes an infinite run loop. This issue appeared after updating to Beta 3. Here’s an example of the code: extension UIDevice { var safeAreaInsets: UIEdgeInsets { guard let windowScene = UIApplication.shared.connectedScenes.first as? UIWindowScene, let window = windowScene.windows.first(where: { $0.isKeyWindow }) else { return .zero } return window.safeAreaInsets } } The return doesn’t happen because it ends up in some kind of recursion.

My app doesn't respond on iPhone Air iOS 26.1. After startup, my app shows the main view with a tab bar controller containing 4 navigation controllers. However, when a second-level view controller is pushed onto any navigation controller, the UI freezes and becomes unresponsive. The iPhone simulator running iOS 26.1 exhibits the same problem. The debug profile shows CPU usage at 100%. However, other devices and simulators do not have this problem.

We have separated much of our UI into different packages to reduce complexity and compile time. When we recently tested using new .xcstrings string catalogs, we hit an unexpected problem. Strings extracted from SwiftUI components like Text or Button are extracted into the Localizable.xcstrings in the same package, but the default behaviour of Text(_ key:tableName:bundle:comment:) is to use Bundle.main. When the default behaviour of the string extraction isn't to extract to the main app target, this introduces a very fragile system where it's easy to add code that looks localised, but ends up failing lookup at runtime. I don't feel comfortable that we will always remember to define the correct module every time we create a Text. Also, other components like Button doesn't have an init that takes a Bundle, so we would also have to remember that Button(_ titleKey:action:) can now only be used in a package if we make sure that the main bundle contains a matching key. Is there a way for us to make sure that strings are always extracted to the same place as they are resolved against by default? Either by having strings in packages extracted to an xcstrings file in the main app or having Text default to resolving against the module bundle by default?

Hi, I'm seeing an issue in iOS 26 beta related to UINavigationBar rendering in landscape. When a background color is set for the navigation bar and the device is rotated to landscape, an unexpected gap appears above the navigation bar. This also happens in the official sample project provided in Apple’s documentation: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/customizing-your-app-s-navigation-bar Is this a bug in the beta, or is there a workaround to avoid this behavior? Thanks in advance!

Hello, I'm experiencing a navigation bar positioning issue with my UIKit iPad app on iPadOS 26 (23A340) using Xcode 26 (17A321). The navigation bar positions under the status bar initially, and after orientation changes to landscape, it positions incorrectly below its expected location. This occurs on both real device (iPad mini A17 Pro) and simulator. My app uses UIKit + Storyboard with a Root Navigation Controller. A stack overflow post has reproduce the bug event if it's not in the same configuration: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79752945/xcode-26-beta-6-ipados-26-statusbar-overlaps-with-navigationbar-after-presen I have checked all safe areas and tried changing some constraints, but nothing works. Have you encountered this bug before, or do you need additional information to investigate this issue?

I'm building an iPad app targeting iPadOS 26 using SwiftUI. Previously, I added a custom button by overlaying it in the top-left corner: content .overlay(alignment: .topLeading) { Button("Action") { // ... } This worked until iPadOS 26 introduced new window controls (minimize/close) in that corner, which now overlap my button. In the WWDC Session Video https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2025/208/?time=298, they show adapting via .toolbar, but using .toolbar forces me to embed my view in a NavigationStack, which I don’t want. I really only want to add this single button, without converting the whole view structure. Constraints: No use of .toolbar (as it compels a NavigationStack). Keep existing layout—just one overlayed button. Support automatic adjustment for the new window controls across all window positions and split-screen configurations. What I’m looking for: A way to detect or read the system′s new window control safe area or layout region dynamically on iPadOS 26. Use that to offset my custom button—without adopting .toolbar. Preferably SwiftUI-only, no heavy view hierarchy changes. Is there a recommended API or SwiftUI technique to obtain the new control’s safe area (similar to a custom safeAreaInset for window controls) so I can reposition my overlayed button accordingly—without converting to NavigationStack or using .toolbar?

Do you guys know how to fix the render of the text in the accessory view ? If I force the color of text to be .black it work but it will break dark mode, but forcing it .black : .white on color scheme changes makes white to still adapt to what is behind it I have noticed that Apple Music doesn’t have that artifact and it seems to break when images are behind the accessory view // MARK: - Next Routine Accessory @available(iOS 26.0, *) struct NetxRoutinesAccessory: View { @ObservedObject private var viewModel = RoutineProgressViewModel.shared @EnvironmentObject var colorSchemeManager: ColorSchemeManager @EnvironmentObject var routineStore: RoutineStore @EnvironmentObject var freemiumKit: FreemiumKit @ObservedObject var petsStore = PetsStore.shared @Environment(\.colorScheme) private var colorScheme // Tab accessory placement environment @Environment(\.tabViewBottomAccessoryPlacement) private var accessoryPlacement // Navigation callback var onTap: (() -> Void)? @State private var isButtonPressed = false /// Explicit black for light mode, white for dark mode private var textColor: Color { colorScheme == .dark ? .trueWhite : .trueBlack } /// Returns true when the accessory is in inline/minimized mode private var isInline: Bool { accessoryPlacement == .inline } var body: some View { accessoryContent() .onTapGesture { onTap?() } } private func accessoryContent() -> some View { HStack(spacing: 12) { // Content with smooth transitions VStack(alignment: .leading, spacing: 2) { if viewModel.totalTasks == 0 { Text(NSLocalizedString("Set up routines", comment: "Routines empty state")) .font(.subheadline.weight(.medium)) .foregroundColor(textColor) } else if let next = viewModel.nextRoutineTask() { HStack(spacing: 4) { Text(NSLocalizedString("Next", comment: "Next routine prefix")) .font(.caption) .foregroundColor(textColor) Text("•") .font(.caption) .foregroundColor(textColor) Text(next.routine.name) .font(.subheadline.weight(.medium)) .foregroundColor(textColor) .lineLimit(1) } .id("routine-\(next.routine.id)-\(next.time)") .transition(.opacity.combined(with: .move(edge: .leading))) HStack(spacing: 4) { Text(viewModel.petNames(for: next.routine.petIDs)) .font(.caption) .foregroundColor(textColor) Text("•") .font(.caption) .foregroundColor(textColor) Text(Routine.displayTimeFormatter.string(from: next.time)) .font(.caption.weight(.medium)) .foregroundColor(colorSchemeManager.accentColor ?? .blue) } .id("time-\(next.routine.id)-\(next.time)") .transition(.opacity.combined(with: .move(edge: .leading))) } else { // All tasks completed Text(NSLocalizedString("All done for today!", comment: "All routines completed")) .font(.subheadline.weight(.medium)) .foregroundColor(textColor) .transition(.opacity.combined(with: .scale)) Text("\(viewModel.completedTasks)/\(viewModel.totalTasks) " + NSLocalizedString("tasks", comment: "Tasks count suffix")) .font(.caption) .foregroundColor(textColor) } } .animation(colorSchemeManager.reduceMotion ? nil : .snappy(duration: 0.3), value: viewModel.completedTasks) .animation(colorSchemeManager.reduceMotion ? nil : .snappy(duration: 0.3), value: viewModel.progress) } .padding() .contentShape(.rect) .animation(colorSchemeManager.reduceMotion ? nil : .snappy(duration: 0.35), value: viewModel.completedTasks) } }
