How can we performantly scroll to a target location using TextKit 2? Hi everyone, I'm building a custom text editor using TextKit 2 and would like to scroll to a target location efficiently. For instance, I would like to move to the end of a document seamlessly, similar to how users can do in standard text editors by using CMD + Down. Background: NSTextView and TextEdit on macOS can navigate to the end of large documents in milliseconds. However, after reading the documentation and experimenting with various ideas using TextKit 2's APIs, it's not clear how third-party developers are supposed to achieve this. My Code: Here's the code I use to move the selection to the end of the document and scroll the viewport to reveal the selection. override func moveToEndOfDocument(_ sender: Any?) { textLayoutManager.ensureLayout(for: textLayoutManager.documentRange) let targetLocation = textLayoutManager.documentRange.endLocation let beforeTargetLocation = textLayoutManager.location(targetLocation, offsetBy: -1)! textLayoutManager.textViewportLayoutController.layoutViewport() guard let textLayoutFragment = textLayoutManager.textLayoutFragment(for: beforeTargetLocation) else { return } guard let textLineFragment = textLayoutFragment.textLineFragment(for: targetLocation, isUpstreamAffinity: true) else { return } let lineFrame = textLayoutFragment.layoutFragmentFrame let lineFragmentFrame = textLineFragment.typographicBounds.offsetBy(dx: 0, dy: lineFrame.minY) scrollToVisible(lineFragmentFrame) } While this code works as intended, it is very inefficient because ensureLayout(_:) is incredibly expensive and can take seconds for large documents. Issues Encountered: In my attempts, I have come across the following two issues. Estimated Frames: The frames of NSTextLayoutFragment and NSTextLineFragment are approximate and not precise enough for scrolling unless the text layout fragment has been fully laid out. Laying out all text is expensive: The frames become accurate once NSTextLayoutManager's ensureLayout(for:) method has been called with a range covering the entire document. However, ensureLayout(for:) is resource-intensive and can take seconds for large documents. NSTextView, on the other hand, accomplishes the same scrolling to the end of a document in milliseconds. I've tried using NSTextViewportLayoutController's relocateViewport(to:) without success. It's unclear to me whether this function is intended for a use case like mine. If it is, I would appreciate some guidance on its proper usage. Configuration: I'm testing on macOS Sonoma 14.5 (23F79), Swift (AppKit), Xcode 15.4 (15F31d). I'm working on a multi-platform project written in AppKit and UIKit, so I'm looking for either a single solution that works in both AppKit and UIKit or two solutions, one for each UI framework. Question: How can third-party developers scroll to a target location, specifically the end of a document, performantly using TextKit 2? Steps to Reproduce: The issue can be reproduced using the example project (download from link below) by following these steps: Open the example project. Run the example app on a Mac. The example app shows an uneditable text view in a scroll view. The text view displays a long text. Press the "Move to End of Document" toolbar item. Notice that the text view has scrolled to the bottom, but this took several seconds (~3 seconds on my MacBook Pro 16-inch, 2021). The duration will be shown in Xcode's log. You can open the ExampleTextView.swift file and find the implementation of moveToEndOfDocument(_:). Comment out line 84 where the ensureLayout(_:) is called, rerun the app, and then select "Move to End of Document" again. This time, you will notice that the text view moves fast but does not end up at the bottom of the document. You may also open the large-file.json in the project, the same file that the example app displays, in TextEdit, and press CMD+Down to move to the end of the document. Notice that TextEdit does this in mere milliseconds. Example Project: The example project is located on GitHub: https://github.com/simonbs/apple-developer-forums/tree/main/how-can-we-performantly-scroll-to-a-target-location-using-textkit-2 Any advice or guidance on how to achieve this with TextKit 2 would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! Best regards, Simon

All of these issues appear when the search controller is set on the view controller's navigationItem and the search controller's searchBar has its scopeButtonTitles set. So far the following issues are affecting my app on iOS/iPadOS 26 as of beta 7: When the scopeBarActivation of UISearchController is set to .onSearchActivation, the preferredSearchBarPlacement of the navigationItem is set to .integratedButton, and the searchBarPlacementAllowsToolbarIntegration is set to false (forcing the search icon to appear in the nav bar), on both iPhones and iPads, the scope buttons never appear. They don't appear when the search is activated. They don't appear when any text is entered into the search bar. FB19771313 I attempted to work around that issue by setting the scopeBarActivation to .manual. I then show the scope bar in the didPresentSearchController delegate method and hide the scope bar in the willDismissSearchController. On an iPhone this works though the display is a bit clunky. On an iPad, the scope bar does appear via the code in didPresentSearchController, but when any scope bar button is tapped, the search controller is dismissed. This happens when the app is horizontally regular. When the app on the iPad is horizontally compact, the buttons work but the search bar's text is not correctly aligned within the search bar. Quite the mess really. I still need to post a bug report for this issue. But if issue 1 above is fixed then I don't need this workaround. When the scopeBarActivation of UISearchController is set to .onSearchActivation, the preferredSearchBarPlacement of the navigationItem is set to .stacked, and the hidesSearchBarWhenScrolling property of the navigationItem is set to false (always show the search bar), and this is all used in a UITableViewController, then upon initial display of the view controller on an iPhone or iPad, you are unable to tap on the first row of the table view except on the very bottom of the row. The currently hidden scope bar is stealing the touches. If you activate and then cancel the search (making the scope bar appear and then disappear) then you are able to tap on the first row as expected. The initially hidden scope bar also bleeds through the first row of the table. It's faint but you can tell it's not quite right. Again, this is resolved by activating and then canceling the search once. FB17888632 When the scopeBarActivation of UISearchController is set to .onSearchActivation, the preferredSearchBarPlacement of the navigationItem is set to integrated or .integratedButton, and the toolbar is shown, then on iPhones (where the search bar/icon appears in the toolbar) the scope buttons appear (at the top of the screen) the first time the search is activated. But if you cancel the search and then activate it again, the search bar never appears a second (or later) time. On an iPad the search bar/icon appears in the nav bar and you end up with the same issue as #1 above. FB17890125 Issues 3 and 4 were reported against beta 1 and still haven't been fixed. But if issue 1 is resolved on iPhone, iPad, and Mac (via Mac Catalyst), then I personally won't be affected by issues 2, 3, or 4 any more (but of course all 4 issues need to be fixed). And by resolved, I mean that the scope bar appears and disappears when it is supposed to each and every time the search is activated and cancelled (not just the first time). The scope bar doesn't interfere with touch events upon initial display of the view controller. And there are no visual glitches no matter what the horizontal size class is on an iPad. I really hope the UIKit team can get these resolved before iOS/iPadOS 26 GM.

UITextView crash when setting attributed text that contains substring ffi and attributedText contains NSFontAttributeName, NSForegroundColorAttributeName Reproducible case: UITextView *textView = [[UITextView alloc] init]; textView.attributedText = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"ffi" attributes:@{ NSParagraphStyleAttributeName: [self createParagraphOfLineHeight:20], NSFontAttributeName: [UIFont systemFontOfSize:fontSize weight:UIFontWeightRegular], NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.black }];

Ok… I'm baffled here… this is very strange. Here is a SwiftUI app: import SwiftUI @main struct StepperDemoApp: App { func onIncrement() { print(#function) } func onDecrement() { print(#function) } var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { Stepper { Text("Stepper") } onIncrement: { self.onIncrement() } onDecrement: { self.onDecrement() } } } } When I run in the app in macOS (Xcode 16.0 (16A242) and macOS 14.6.1 (23G93)), I see some weird behavior from these buttons. My experiment is tapping + + + - - -. Here is what I see printed: onIncrement() onIncrement() onIncrement() onIncrement() onDecrement() What I expected was: onIncrement() onIncrement() onIncrement() onDecrement() onDecrement() onDecrement() Why is an extra onIncrement being called? And why is one onDecrement dropping on the floor? Deploying the app to iPhone Simulator does not repro this behavior (I see the six "correct" logs from iPhone Simulator).

I'm running into a persistent problem with the iOS 18.5 simulator in Xcode 26 beta 2. I have built a very simple test app with a storyboard that includes only a toolbar added to the ViewController scene in the storyboard. The test app runs fine in iOS 26 simulators.When I try to run it in the iOS 18.5 simulator for iPhone Pro or iPad (16), it fails while unarchiving the storyboard (as far as I can tell) with this error message in the Xcode console: *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidUnarchiveOperationException', reason: 'Could not instantiate class named TtGC5UIKit17UICoreHostingViewVCS_21ToolbarVisualProvider8RootView because no class named TtGC5UIKit17UICoreHostingViewVCS_21ToolbarVisualProvider8RootView was found; the class needs to be defined in source code or linked in from a library (ensure the class is part of the correct target)' terminating due to uncaught exception of type NSException CoreSimulator 1043 - Device: iPad (A16) (3E70E25F-8434-4541-960D-1B58EB4037F3) - Runtime: iOS 18.5 (22F77) - DeviceType: iPad (A16) I'd love a simple workaround for this.

The following code only ever causes shouldDrawInsertionPoint to be printed (no drawInsertionPoint), but even if that method returns false, the blinking insertion point is still drawn. On the other hand, with TextKit 1 it works as expected. Is there a way to hide the default insertion point in TextKit 2? My app draws its own. I've filed FB13684251. class TextView: NSTextView { override var shouldDrawInsertionPoint: Bool { print("shouldDrawInsertionPoint") return false } override func drawInsertionPoint(in rect: NSRect, color: NSColor, turnedOn flag: Bool) { print("drawInsertionPoint", flag) } } ``

Following on from this thread: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/805037 my list of items is now correctly maintaining state (no more disappearing rows), but I'm now hitting a really annoying issue: Every time something changes - even just changing the dark mode of the device - the entire list of items is refreshed, and the list jumps back to the top. A simple representation: // modelData.filteredItems is either all items or some items, depending on whether the user is searching List { ForEach(modelData.filteredItems) { item in ItemRow(item: item) } } When the user isn't searching, filteredItems has everything in it. When they turn on search, I filter and sort the data in place: // Called when the user turns on search, or when the searchString or searchType changes func sortAndFilterItemsInModelData() { modelData.filteredItems.removeAll() // Remove all items from the filtered array modelData.filteredItems.append(contentsOf: modelData.allItems) // Add all items back in let searchString: String = modelData.searchString.lowercased() switch(modelData.searchType) { case 1: // Remove all items from the filtered array that don't match the search string modelData.filteredItems.removeAll(where: { !$0.name.lowercased().contains(searchString) }) ... } // Sorting switch(modelData.sortKey) { case sortKeyDate: modelData.sortAscending ? modelData.filteredItems.sort { $0.date < $1.date } : modelData.filteredItems.sort { $0.date > $1.date } // Sorts in place ... } } The method doesn't return anything because all the actions are done in place on the data, and the view should display the contents of modelData.filteredItems. If you're searching and there are, say 10 items in the list and you're at the bottom of the list, then you change the search so there are now 11 items, it jumps back to the top rather than just adding the extra ItemRow to the bottom. Yes, the data is different, but it hasn't been replaced; it has been altered in place. The biggest issue here is that you can simply change the device to/from Dark Mode - which can happen automatically at a certain time of day - and you're thrown back to the top of the list. The array of data hasn't changed, but SwiftUI treats it as though it has. There's also a section in the List that can be expanded and contracted. It shows or hides items of a certain type. When I expand it, I expect the list to stay in the same place and just show the extra rows, but again, it jumps to the top. It's a really poor user experience. Am I doing something wrong (probably, yes), or is there some other way to retain the scroll position in a List? The internet suggests switching to a LazyVStack, but I lose left/right swipe buttons and the platform-specific styling. Thanks.

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

In beta 2 using layer.cornerRadius on a UIEffectView with the UIGlassEffect allowed you to change the corner radius of the view. In beta 3, this no longer works. WWDC videos indicate the right way to do this is to set the cornerConfiguration on the UIEffectView, but that API doesn't seem to be available yet. At this time it doesn't seem like theres a way to have a glass view that isn't pill shaped.

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.

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

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?

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) }

I have added a UICollectionViewCell to my storyboard, and I added a UILabel to my UICollectionViewCell in storyboard. I have created a cell registration using UICollectionView.CellRegistration and have implemented the cellProvider closure for the datasource which dequeue a collection view cell of type TapLabelCollectionViewCell(I have subclassed the cell in my storyboard to this class). In my TapLabelCollectionViewCell, I am trying to set the tap gesture recogniser on the label, but the label appears nil, which I've connected using an @IBOutlet. Why is this and how can I fix it? My code : // UI View Controller: class TapGridViewController: UIViewController { override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() // Do any additional setup after loading the view. tapGridCollectionView.collectionViewLayout = createLayout() configureDataSource() applySnapshot() } func configureDataSource() { let cellRegistration = UICollectionView.CellRegistration<TapLabelCollectionViewCell, CellItem>(handler: { (cell: TapLabelCollectionViewCell, indexPath: IndexPath, item: CellItem) in cell.taplabel.text = String(item.labelCount) }) dataSource = UICollectionViewDiffableDataSource(collectionView: tapGridCollectionView, cellProvider: { (collectionView: UICollectionView, indexPath: IndexPath, item: CellItem) in let cell = collectionView.dequeueConfiguredReusableCell(using: cellRegistration, for: indexPath, item: item) cell.delegate = self cell.index = indexPath.row return cell }) } } // UI Collection View Cell: protocol TapLabelCollectionViewCellDelegate: AnyObject { func incrementNumberOfTaps(index: Int) } class TapLabelCollectionViewCell: UICollectionViewCell { @IBOutlet var taplabel: UILabel! var delegate: TapLabelCollectionViewCellDelegate? var index: Int! static let identifier = "tapLabelCellIdentifier" override init(frame: CGRect) { super.init(frame: frame) setUpTapGestureRecognizer() } required init?(coder: NSCoder) { super.init(coder: coder) } func setUpTapGestureRecognizer() { let tapGestureRecognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(incrementNumberOfTaps)) print("tap Label,", taplabel) taplabel.addGestureRecognizer(tapGestureRecognizer) } @objc func incrementNumberOfTaps() { delegate?.incrementNumberOfTaps(index: index) } }

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 } // ... } }

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

A few days ago scanning NFC tags or QR codes for AppClips with advanced experiences started showing the error "The operation couldn't be completed. (CPSErrorDomain error 2.)" in the AppClip sheet as seen here: We are providing AppClips to our customers and they trust AppClips to always work, since it is a big part of their business. Since this is happening at our customers phones and on the phones of their customers, I don't have a sysdiagnose. I already created a feedback entry about this FB16601674. We checked everything, our AASA file, the Appstore Experiences.

I am using a LayzVStack embedded into a ScrollView. The list items are fetched from a core data store by using a @FetchResult or I tested it also with the new @Query command coming with SwiftData. The list has one hundred items 1, 2, 3, ..., 100. The user scrolled the ScrollView so that items 50, 51, ... 60 are visible on screen. Now new data will be fetched from the server and updates the CoreData or SwiftData model. When I add new items to the end of the list (e.g 101, 102, 103, ...) then the ScrollView is keeping its position. Opposite to this when I add new items to the top (0, -1, -2, -3, ...) then the ScrollView scrolls down. Is there a way with the new SwiftData and SwiftUI ScrollView modifiers to update my list model without scrolling like with UIKit where you can query and set the scroll offset pixel wise?

I have something that looks like: NavigationStack { List(self.items, id: \.self, selection: self.$selectedItems) { item in NavigationLink { ItemView(item: item) .environment(\.managedObjectContext, self.viewContext) } label: { LabelWithMenuView(object: item) { ptr in self.labelHandler(item: item, newName: ptr) } } } if self.editMode?.wrappedValue == .active { editButtons } else { TextField("Add Item", text: self.$newItem) .onSubmit { self.addItem() self.newItem = "" } .padding() } } #if os(iOS) .toolbar { EditButton() } .onChange(of: self.editMode?.wrappedValue) { old, new in print("editMode \(old) -> \(new)") } #endif With that layout, the edit button doesn't show up at all; if I put it as part of the List, it does show up, but the first click doesn't do anything; after that, it works, but the onChange handler doesn't show it getting changed, and the editButtons don't go away.
