I'm using UIDocumentPickerViewController to open a url. Works fine in debug mode but version on the App Store is failing. Code to create the document picker is like: NSArray *theTypes = [UTType typesWithTag:@"docxtensionhere" tagClass:UTTagClassFilenameExtension conformingToType:nil]; UIDocumentPickerViewController *documentPicker = [[UIDocumentPickerViewController alloc]initForOpeningContentTypes:theTypes]; documentPicker.delegate = self;   [self presentViewController:documentPicker animated:YES completion:nil]; So in debug mode this is all gravy. -documentPicker:didPickDocumentsAtURLs: passes back a URL and I can read the file. In release mode I get a URL but my app is denied access to read the file. After inspecting some logging it appears the sandbox is not granting my app permission. error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=257 "The file “Filename.fileextensionhere” couldn’t be opened because you don’t have permission to view it." UserInfo={NSFilePath=/private/var/mobile/Library/Mobile Documents/comappleCloudDocs/Filename.fileextensionhere, NSUnderlyingError=0x2834c9da0 {Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=1 "Operation not permitted"}} -- If I'm doing something wrong with UIDocumentPickerViewController it is a real shame that permission is not being denied in Debug mode, as devs are more likely to catch in prior to release. Anyone know where I'm going wrong and if not have a workaround? Thanks in advance.

We're trying to implement a backup/restore data feature in our business productivity iPad app using UIDocumentPickerViewController and AppleArchive, but discovered odd behavior of [UIDocumentPickerViewController initForOpeningContentTypes: asCopy:YES] when reading large archive files from a USB drive. We've duplicated this behavior with iPadOS 16.6.1 and 17.7 when building our app with Xcode 15.4 targeting minimum deployment of iPadOS 16. We haven't tested this with bleeding edge iPadOS 18. Here's our Objective-C code which presents the picker: NSArray* contentTypeArray = @[UTTypeAppleArchive]; UIDocumentPickerViewController* docPickerVC = [[UIDocumentPickerViewController alloc] initForOpeningContentTypes:contentTypeArray asCopy:YES]; docPickerVC.delegate = self; docPickerVC.allowsMultipleSelection = NO; docPickerVC.shouldShowFileExtensions = YES; docPickerVC.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationPopover; docPickerVC.popoverPresentationController.sourceView = self.view; [self presentViewController:docPickerVC animated:YES completion:nil]; The UIDocumentPickerViewController remains visible until the selected external archive file has been copied from the USB drive to the app's local tmp sandbox. This may take several seconds due to the slow access speed of the USB drive. During this time the UIDocumentPickerViewController does NOT disable its tableview rows displaying files found on the USB drive. Even the most patient user will tap the desired filename a second (or third or fourth) time since the user's initial tap appears to have been ignored by UIDocumentPickerViewController, which lacks sufficient UI feedback showing it's busy copying the selected file. When the user taps the file a second time, UIDocumentPickerViewController apparently begins to copy the archive file once again. The end result is a truncated copy of the selected file based on the time between taps. For instance, a 788 MB source archive may be copied as a 56 MB file. Here, the UIDocumentPickerDelegate receives a 56 MB file instead of the original 788 MB of data. Not surprisingly, AppleArchive fails to decrypt the local copy of the archive because it's missing data. Instead of failing gracefully, AppleArchive crashes in AAArchiveStreamClose() (see forums post 765102 for details). Does anyone know if there's a workaround for this strange behavior of UIDocumentPickerViewController?

I have noticed that in iOS 14 the UIPickerView has by default a light grey background on the selected Row like shown here. https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/ios/controls/pickers/ I noticed also that pickerView.showsSelectionIndicator is deprecated on iOS 14. Is there a way to change the background color to white and add separators to achieve a pre iOS 14 UIPickerView style? Thank you

Is the Cancel button intentionally removed from UISearchBar (right side)? Even when using searchController with navigationItem also. showsCancelButton = true doesn’t display the cancel button. Also: When tapping the clear ("x") button inside the search field, the search is getting canceled, and searchBarCancelButtonClicked(_:) is triggered (Generally it should only clear text, not cancel search). If the search text is empty and I tap outside the search bar, the search is canceled. Also when I have tableview in my controller(like recent searches) below search bar and if I try to tap when editing started, action is not triggered(verified in sample too). Just cancellation is happening. In a split view controller, if the search is on the right side and I try to open the side panel, the search also gets canceled. Are these behaviors intentional changes, beta issues, or are we missing something in implementation?

We're seeing sporadic crashes on devices running iOS 18.1 - both beta and release builds (22B83). The stack trace is always identical, a snippet of it below. As you can tell from the trace, it's happening in places we embed SwiftUI into UIKit via UIHostingController. Anyone else seeing this? 4 libobjc.A.dylib 0xbe2c _objc_fatalv(unsigned long long, unsigned long long, char const*, char*) + 30 5 libobjc.A.dylib 0xb040 weak_register_no_lock + 396 6 libobjc.A.dylib 0xac50 objc_storeWeak + 472 7 libswiftCore.dylib 0x43ac34 swift_unknownObjectWeakAssign + 24 8 SwiftUI 0xeb74c8 _UIHostingView.base.getter + 160 9 SwiftUI 0x92124 _UIHostingView.layoutSubviews() + 112 10 SwiftUI 0x47860 @objc _UIHostingView.layoutSubviews() + 36

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?

NSWindow objects with custom styleMask configurations seem to behave erratically in macOS Tahoe 26.3 RC. For example an NSWindow is not resizable after issuing .styleMask.remove(.titled) or some NSWindow-s become totally unresponsive (the NSWindow becomes transparent to mouse events) with custom styleMask-s. This is a radical change compared to how all previous macOS versions or the 26.3 beta3 worked and seriously affects apps that might use custom NSWindows - this includes some system utilities, OSD/HUD apps etc, actually breaking some apps. Such fundamental compatibility altering changes should not be introduced in an RC stage (if this is intentional and not a bug) imho.

Navigation Title no longer showing for first Tab in iOS/iPadOS 26 (Directives) in my app Starship SE Corps when running is Xcode 26 simulator and on iPad device itself running iPadOS 26 beta. Launch app Notice Navigation Title “Directives” is missing from top tab in Sidebar and Floating Tab View (iPad) and TabView (iOS). Navigate to other tabs and Navigation Titles appear as expected. Worked fine (as expected) in iOS/iPadOS 18.5, but broken in iOS/iPadOS 26. Reference Feedback: FB17987650

I have TabView in ContentView and I want to add TabView for OnboardingView in OtherView, every things work, but it is throw error for TabView in OtherView like "Trailing closure passed to parameter of type 'Int' that does not accept a closure" I do not know why? Any idea? ContentView: struct TabView : View {       var body: some View{           VStack(spacing: 0){ ....... } OtherView:    VStack {     TabView {       ForEach(onboardingData) { onboardingItem in          OnboardingCard(onboardingItem: onboardingItem)       }   }   .tabViewStyle(PageTabViewStyle(indexDisplayMode: .automatic))   .indexViewStyle(PageIndexViewStyle (backgroundDisplayMode:   .always))   .foregroundColor(.white) }

My app is a SwiftUI document based app using DocumentGroupLaunchScene. In iOS(iPadOS) 18.4, when it launches, it has duplicate toolbar items, and when I close the current document and open other documents, it adds more duplicates. It also shows a wrong document name, which shows the first opened document name. This issue can be reproduced in the sample code (Building a document-based app with SwiftUI). I have submitted Feedback (FB17025216), but not sure if this is a known bug or if I'm missing anything.

I have an icon button in toolbar but only the icon is triggering tap events while outside icon button gives tap feedback but event is not firing. Code: ToolbarItem(placement: .navigationBarTrailing) { Button(action: toggleBookmark) { Image(systemName: isBookmarked ? "bookmark.fill" : "bookmark") .resizable() .aspectRatio(0.8, contentMode: .fit) .frame(width: 20, height: 20) } } Here toggleBookmark function is only called if I click on Image but not if I click outside image but on the circular button that appears on iOS 26. See this screen recording.

I have a custom document-based iOS app that also runs on macOS. After implementing -activityItemsConfiguration to enable sharing from the context menu, I found that the app crashes on macOS when selecting Share… from the context menu and then selecting Save (i.e. Save to Files under iOS). This problem does not occur on iOS, which behaves correctly. - (id<UIActivityItemsConfigurationReading>)activityItemsConfiguration { NSItemProvider * provider = [[NSItemProvider alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:self.document.presentedItemURL]; UIActivityItemsConfiguration * configuration = [UIActivityItemsConfiguration activityItemsConfigurationWithItemProviders:@[ provider ]]; // XXX crashes with com.apple.share.System.SaveToFiles return configuration; } Additionally, I found that to even reach this crash, the workaround implemented in the NSItemProvider (FBxxx) category of the sample project is needed. Without this, the app will crash much earlier, due to SHKItemIsPDF() erroneously invoking -pathExtension on an NSItemProvider. This appears to be a second bug in Apple’s private ShareKit framework. #import <UniformTypeIdentifiers/UniformTypeIdentifiers.h> @implementation NSItemProvider (FBxxx) // XXX SHKItemIsPDF() invokes -pathExtension on an NSItemProvider (when running under macOS, anyway) -> crash - (NSString *)pathExtension { return self.registeredContentTypes.firstObject.preferredFilenameExtension; } @end Again, this all works fine on iOS (17.5) but crashes when the exact same app build is running on macOS (14.5). I believe these bugs are Apple's. Any idea how to avoid the crash? Is there a way to disable the "Save to Files" option in the sharing popup? I filed FB13819800 with a sample project that demonstrates the crash on macOS. I was going to file a TSI to get this resolved, but I see that DTS is not responding to tech support incidents until after WWDC.

When scrolling a basic NSScrollView there seems to be a sudden jump after each flick. Scrolling does not appear smooth and is disorientating. A scroll jump seems to happen directly after letting go of a scroll flick using a trackpad/mouse. Right at that moment the scroll turns into a momentum scroll, slowly decreasing the speed. But the first frame after the gesture the content jumps forward, more than what is expected. Observations: Counterintuitively, scrolling appears to be smoother when disabling NSScrollView.isCompatibleWithResponsiveScrolling. If disabled using a custom NSScrollView subclass there is no large jump anymore. Scrolling also appears to be smoother using a SwiftUI ScrollView. I assume that has the same behaviour as a disabled isCompatibleWithResponsiveScrolling Ironically a WKWebView scrolls much smoother. No sudden jump is observable. It also seems to scroll with faster acceleration, but the individual frames do appear smoother. Why is this better than a native NSScrollView? Elastic scrolling at the bounds of the scroll view also appears much smoother for WKWebViews. When pulling to refresh there is a jump for NSScrollView/SwiftUI, but not for WKWebView. When using an NSScrollView with isCompatibleWithResponsiveScrolling disabled, scrolling appears just as smooth as WKWebView on macOS 13 Ventura and below. On macOS 14 Sonoma scrolling behaviour is suddenly different. Please see a sample project with 4 different scroll views side by side: https://github.com/floorish/ScrollTest Screen recordings show the sudden jumps when scrolling and when elastic scrolling. Tested on Intel & Arm Macs, macOS 11 Big Sur through 15 Sequoia, built with Xcode 16. Should isCompatibleWithResponsiveScrolling be disabled on Sonoma+? Are there any drawbacks? There is also no overdraw anymore since Monterey, as described in https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/releasenotes/AppKit/RN-AppKitOlderNotes/#10_9Scrolling Even with responsive scrolling disabled, why is WKWebView scrolling much smoother than NSScrollView?

Using desaturated mode on an image in a widget will break any links or buttons that use the image as their 'label'. Using the following will just open the app as if there was no link at all - therefore just using the fallback userActivity handler, or any .widgetURL() urls provided. Link(destination: URL(string: "bug://never-works")!) { Image("puppy") .widgetAccentedRenderingMode(.desaturated) } The same goes for buttons: Button(intent: MyDemoIntent()) { Image("puppy") .widgetAccentedRenderingMode(.desaturated) } I've tried hacky solutions like putting the link behind the image using a ZStack, and disabling hit testing on the image, but they don't work. Anything else to try? Logged as Feedback #15152620.

Hi all, After upgrading to the iOS 26 beta, the scrolling in my SwiftUI chat view is completely broken. The exact same code works perfectly on iOS 18. Context: I have a chat view using ScrollViewReader and a vertically-reversed ScrollView (with .rotationEffect(.degrees(180))). Each message row (MessageBubble) uses multiple simultaneousGesture handlers: Horizontal drag for swipe-to-reply (and other actions: pin, delete) Long press for showing popover/actions Vertical scroll for normal chat scrolling This was working great on iOS 18. In iOS 26 beta, the vertical scroll is either completely disabled, jittery, or hijacked by the message row’s drag gestures, even though .simultaneousGesture is used (see code below). Minimal Repro Sample MessageListView.swift swift Copy Edit ScrollViewReader { proxy in ScrollView(.vertical, showsIndicators: false) { LazyVStack(spacing: 0) { // ... grouped messages ForEach(...) { ... MessageBubble(...) // see below } Color.clear.frame(height: 8).id("BOTTOM_ANCHOR") } .padding(.horizontal, 4) .rotationEffect(.degrees(180)) } .rotationEffect(.degrees(180)) } MessageBubble.swift struct MessageBubble: View { // ... var body: some View { // horizontal swipe-to-reply gesture let dragGesture = DragGesture(minimumDistance: 10) // ... ZStack { // ... HStack { ... } // ... .simultaneousGesture( DragGesture(minimumDistance: 0) // for long press // ... ) .simultaneousGesture(dragGesture) // for horizontal swipe } // ... } }

In one of my apps, i am using .glassEffect(_:In) to add glass effect on various elements. The app always crushes when a UI element with glassEffect(_in:) modifier is being rendered. This only happens on device running iOS 26 public beta. I know this for certain because I connected the particular device to xcode and run the app on the device. When i comment out the glassEffect modifier, app doesn't crush. Is it possible to check particular realeases with #available? If not, how should something like this be handled. Also how do i handle such os level erros without the app crushing. Thanks.

Hi, I faced with the issue on iOS 26.1 with PHPickerViewController. After first selection I save assetIdentifier of PHPickerResult for images. next time I open the picker I expect to have the images selected based on assetIdentifier Code: var config = PHPickerConfiguration(photoLibrary: .shared()) config.selectionLimit = 10 config.filter = .images config.preselectedAssetIdentifiers = images.compactMap(\.assetID) let picker = PHPickerViewController(configuration: config) picker.delegate = self present(picker, animated: true) But on iOS 26.1 they aren't selected. On lower iOS version all works fine. Does anybody faced with similar issue?

On WWDC25 session "Meet Liquid Glass", two Liquid Glass variants are mentioned: "regular" and "clear". "Regular" seems to be the default setting for UIGlassEffect, but I was not able to find an option for clear. Is there a native element that uses clear? Is it coming to later betas for iOS 26?

Hi, I have a NavigationSplitView with a view in the detail section: NavigationSplitView { ZStack { Color.black.ignoresSafeArea() gradientBlack2Blue.opacity(0.25) .ignoresSafeArea() GeometryReader { p in VStack { List { SidebarViewCell(id: "1", text: "Steuersätze" , type: .TAX_MASTERDATA , selectedMasterdataType: $selectedMasterdataType) }.listRowSpacing(size.height * 1.25 / 100 ) .scrollContentBackground(.hidden) .toolbar(.hidden, for: .navigationBar) .frame(width: p.size.width * 98 / 100 , height: p.size.height, alignment: .topLeading). }alignment: .topLeading) } } } detail: { MasterdataDetailView().ignoresSafeArea() } }.navigationSplitViewStyle(.balanced) When I place a Button-Control in the MasterdataDetailView it cannot be clicked because it is in the safe area. How can I make it clickable? Best Regards, Frank

All system colors are displayed incorrectly on the popover view. Those are the same views present as a popover in light and dark mode. And those are the same views present as modal. And there is also a problem that when the popover is presented, switching to dark/light mode will not change the appearance. That affected all system apps. The following screenshot is already in dark mode. All those problem are occured on iOS 26 beta 3.
