I am familiar with providing the main layered app icon for a tvOS project, but I cannot work out how to successfully add support for alternative layered icons in the info.plist and/or asset catalog and/or build settings for a SwiftUI (or Swift) tvOS project.
Whenever I check the result of UIApplication.shared.supportsAlternateIcons it returns false
I have witnessed other tvOS apps such as Plex successfully switch the app icon, so it must be possible to do.
How should the project be configured, what am I missing?

I’m currently working on a VisionOS project and was wondering if Apple provides an official component for dragging UI elements, similar to how you can drag a window from its footer in vi sion os. Specifically, I’m looking for a way to allow users to drag and move UI elements without directly interacting with the component itself (since this could trigger unintended interactions with its content, like on a webpage). I’ve tried adding a draggable rectangle below the component, but it causes flickering and doesn’t feel smooth, but I’d like to use any built-in functionality that Apple might already offer for this in VisionOS.
If anyone has experience with this or knows if such a component exists, I’d really appreciate your insights!
Thanks in advance!
Let me know if you’d like to tweak anything!

I have a feature where I need to write some events to the calendar. It's not working saying Calendar is read only.
So I tried the sample app from Apple - Repeating lessions and drop in lessions from link below
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/eventkit/accessing_calendar_using_eventkit_and_eventkitui
Drop in sessions which uses EKEventEditViewController works fine.
But when I run Repeating lessions which requires calendar permissions it keeps saying Calendar is read only. I have hit allow on the access permissions alert and also check settings which shows app has required permissions.
can someone help why this is the case? if its a Calendar issue where do you set the modifiable permissions for it? How is EKEventEditViewController able to save events if the Calendar is readonly.
By default, when using Context Menu the menu will flip positions to be above or below the content based on the current screen position. Many apps however, tend to keep the menu anchored to the bottom of the content it is associated with and move the content up to fit the menu (iMessage messages for example). In order to get this behavior, where the menu is always anchored to the bottom and the content "shifts up" to make space you have to use a custom preview by passing a previewProvider. So to get the desired behavior you can use a preview that is the same content as the original view. However, when you do this there is a small fade in animation that gets added and since the content of the original view and preview is the same this appears as a flicker. Is there any way to disable this fade animation or force anchor the menu to the bottom when using the standard preview?

I need to add an accessory view with a text field to an NSAlert. This works as expected but as my app comes in different languages, the alert looks a bit different depending on the language used:
So I wonder how I can make the text field automatically use the full width of the alert window. I tried to call the alert's layout method and then resize the text field but this seems not work in all cases. Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks!
I've been having trouble with finding a good way to allow the user to close the keyboard. Naturally, I'd like to use the keyboard toolbar but it's so inconsistent, it's impossible. Sometimes it shows up, other times it doesn't. At the moment, it's not appearing at all no matter where I put it. On the NavigationStack, on the List inside of it, on the TextField. It just doesn't appear. I added a TapGesture to my view to set my FocusState that I'm using for the fields back to nil, however, this stops the Picker I have from working. I tried using SimultaneousGesture with TapGesture, and that didn't work.
For example:
.simultaneousGesture(
TapGesture()
.onEnded() {
if field != nil {
field = nil
}
}
)
With the current setup, each TextField switches to the next TextField in the onSubmit. The last one doesn't, which will close the keyboard, but I want to give people the option to close the keyboard before that. Does anyone have a good way to close the keyboard?

I would like to program an app in Swift Playground that displays WhatsApp Web in a webview, so to speak. But I keep seeing an error like in the screenshot.
My Code:

let webView = WKWebView()
let request = URLRequest(url: url)

}
}
struct ContentView: View {
var body: some View {
WebView(url: URL(string: "https://web.whatsapp.com")!)

}
}

i am trying to recreate apple's iMessage tapback reaction context menu. i have figured out how to attach an auxiliary view to the view with the menu, however the menu itself varies in position. if i bring up the context menu on a view below half the screen height, the menu appears above the view. else, it appears below. i need it to always be below.
When the text is set to non-accentable, it always appears white. The background is accentable, but when the user changes the tint color to white, the text becomes invisible.
How can I make it work like in the Shortcuts widget, where the text color automatically changes based on the tint of the background, ensuring the text is always visible?
I have facing an above crash for many users device running on iOS 17.6.1 mostly on iPad devices. I'm not sure why this happening only in 17.X. In Xcode Organizer unable to see this crash in any devices running on OS 18.x. Our app crashes got spiked due to this. I am unable to fix or reproduce the same. The crash log is not pointing to our app code to find the root cause and fix this issue. Have attached the crash log in this post also the crash log roles have mixed values Background & Foreground. But most of the crash is in background.
Is this any crash related to system and that only solved by OS update? I have updated the app using Xcode 16 and 16.1 still facing this crash unable to symbolicate the crash report as well.
Any ideas/solution how to solve this or how to proceed further. Have attached the entire crash log below.

I'm still discovering swift and the various frameworks. So I'm now trying to create scrolling composition with a grid - containing images - and an NSStackView at on top.
However, I'm running into a problem that might seem stupid, but when I try to wrap my NSCollectionView in another NSView and pointing the scrollView.documentView to, I can't scroll anymore... Even though it works fine when I set the scrollView.documentView to the NSCollectionView directly.
Working case:
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
scrollView = NSScrollView(frame: .zero)
scrollView.hasVerticalScroller = true
scrollView.hasHorizontalScroller = false
scrollView.scrollerStyle = .overlay
scrollView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
view.addSubview(scrollView)
vStack = NSStackView(frame: .zero)
vStack.orientation = .vertical
vStack.spacing = 12 * 2
vStack.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
let hStack = NSStackView()
hStack.orientation = .horizontal
hStack.spacing = 12
hStack.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
let label1 = NSTextField(labelWithString: "Collection")
hStack.addArrangedSubview(label1)
let layout = PinterestLayout()
layout.delegate = self
collectionView = NSCollectionView(frame: .zero)
collectionView.collectionViewLayout = layout
collectionView.dataSource = self
collectionView.delegate = self
collectionView
.register(
ArtCardCell.self,
forItemWithIdentifier: NSUserInterfaceItemIdentifier("ArtCardCell")
)
collectionView.backgroundColors = [.BG]
collectionView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false

Hey there,
Is there a way to launch another view by tapping on the preview of a context menu? Something like the behavior of the Photos app where tapping on the preview navigates to the details view.
Tap gesture handlers on the preview don't seem to get called, even as high priority gestures.
Thanks for the help!

I’m trying to use TabView as a page view, but I’m having some trouble. When I select a tab, the content gets cut off. I tried setting scrollClipDisabled, but that didn’t help.
var body: some View {
TabView {
Button {
} label: {
AsyncImage(
url: URL(
string:
"https://plus.unsplash.com/premium_photo-1693227521269-d90b70e3ee06?q=80&w=2940&auto=format&fit=crop&ixlib=rb-4.0.3&ixid=M3wxMjA3fDB8MHxwaG90by1wYWdlfHx8fGVufDB8fHx8fA%3D%3D"
)
) { image in
image
.resizable()
.aspectRatio(contentMode: .fit)
} placeholder: {
Color.red
}
}
.buttonStyle(.borderless)
}
.scrollClipDisabled()
.tabViewStyle(.page(indexDisplayMode: .always))
.indexViewStyle(.page(backgroundDisplayMode: .always))
Button("Button") {
}
}
If you switch between tab content and the button, you will notice that the bottom corner radius is clipped.
Does anyone have any idea how to avoid this action?

failure in void _realizeSettingsExtension(__unsafe_unretained Class, __unsafe_unretained Class) (FBSSceneExtension.m:502) : could not convert "1" to an integer
What I have is that big project with a lot of dependencies and etc..
Trying on clear project and it worked. (sharing simple local image with url).
Testing on my project:
With no controllers at all - check.
With different approaches (htm content; pdf data, image local url) - check.
With UIActivityViewController - check
With day of UIPrintInteractionController creation (not a thread/related issue) - check.
No other work can be done from my side (except rewrite 10years project).
Help me please to debug it from private api prospective as I have no Idea what is happening. (trying to remove all appearances and all dependency - not easy task).
Thanks
Hello.
We have multiple WidgetKit extensions in our application. in IOS18 there is option to transform app icon into widget by long press on icon.
Is there any way to setup default WidgetKit extension that icon will be transformed to?

I understand the mvc thing kinda, theres an array as a model, a tableview as a control, and the interface as a control (right?)
so like, I drag an array controller on to the form display thing, assign a delegate to it the view and app module/header, add data to it and the tableview updates after I add a function to it? in vs the events are in the event browser, do I just copy and paste the code from the tutorial?
how do I add controls and do all the advanced stuff? the documentation on developer.apple.com isnt that detailed, and most books are outdated or n/a since its objective c
tutorials would be nice, some home grown method would be cool too
thank you

APP有一個UI是輸入數字的TextField,每輸入一個數字會自動跳至下一個TextField,總共有6個Textfield,但是用戶輸入時,畫面顯示的數字會自動縮小,並取不到Textfield的值,非常奇怪!!
