I have a couple of (older) UIKit-based Apps using UISplitViewController on the iPad to have a two-column layout. I'm trying to edit the App so it will shows the left column as sidebar with liquid glass effect, similar to the one in the "Settings" App of iPadOS 26. But this seems to be almost impossible to do right now. "out of the box" the UISplitViewController already shows the left column somehow like a sidebar, with some margins to the sides, but missing the glass effect and with very little contrast to the background. If the left column contains a UITableViewController, I can try to get the glass effect this way within the UITableViewController: tableView.backgroundColor = .clear tableView.backgroundView = UIVisualEffectView(effect: UIGlassContainerEffect()) It is necessary to set the backgroundColor of the table view to the clear color because otherwise the default background color would completely cover the glass effect and so it's no longer visible. It is also necessary to set the background of all UITableViewCells to clear. If the window is in the foreground, this will now look very similar to the sidebar of the Settings App. However if the window is in the back, the sidebar is now much darker than the one of the Settings App. Not that nice looking, but for now acceptable. However whenever I navigate to another view controller in the side bar, all the clear backgrounds destroy the great look, because the transition to the new child controller overlaps with the old parent controller and you see both at the same time (because of the clear backgrounds). What is the best way to solve these issues and get a sidebar looking like the one of the Settings App under all conditions?

[Also submitted as FB19313064] The .disabled() modifier doesn't visually disable buttons inside a ToolbarItem container on iOS 26.0 (23A5297i) devices. The button looks enabled, but tapping it doesn't trigger the action. When deployment target is lowered to iOS 18 and deployed to an iOS 18 device, it works correctly. It still fails on an iOS 26 device, even with an iOS 18-targeted build. This occurs in both the Simulator and on a physical device. Screen Recording Code struct ContentView: View { @State private var isButtonDisabled = false private var osTitle: String { let version = ProcessInfo.processInfo.operatingSystemVersion return "iOS \(version.majorVersion)" } var body: some View { NavigationStack { VStack { Button("Body Button") { print("Body button tapped") } .buttonStyle(.borderedProminent) .disabled(isButtonDisabled) Toggle("Disable buttons", isOn: $isButtonDisabled) Spacer() } .padding() .navigationTitle("Device: \(osTitle)") .navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.large) .toolbar { ToolbarItem { Button("Toolbar") { print("Toolbar button tapped") } .buttonStyle(.borderedProminent) .disabled(isButtonDisabled) } } } } }

This problem will occur in Xcode 16 beta and iOS 18 beta, are there any changes to the function of highPriorityGesture in iOS 18? Example code is: import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @State private var dragable: Bool = false @State private var dragGestureOffset: CGFloat = 0 var body: some View { ZStack { ScrollViewReader { scrollViewProxy in ScrollView(showsIndicators: false) { cardList .padding(.horizontal, 25) } } } .highPriorityGesture(dragOffset) } var cardList: some View { LazyVStack(spacing: 16) { Text("\(dragGestureOffset)") .frame(maxWidth: .infinity) .padding(.vertical,8) .background { RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 8) .fill(.gray) } //Display 100 numerical values in a loop ForEach(0..<100) { index in Text("\(index)") .frame(maxWidth: .infinity) .padding(.vertical,8) .background { RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 8) .fill(.gray) } } } } var dragOffset: some Gesture { DragGesture() .onChanged { value in if abs(value.translation.width) > 25 { dragable = true dragGestureOffset = value.translation.width } } .onEnded { value in if abs(value.translation.width) > 25 { dragable = false dragGestureOffset = 0 } } } }

When testing with iOS 18.4 Beta on iPhones which support Dynamic Island, after doing a Face ID authentication, the amount of time it takes before the AppDelegate method applicationDidBecomeActive() is called takes longer than iPhones that do not support Dynamic Island. The time it takes is about double, 1.2 seconds vs 2.5 seconds on average. This does not occur with versions before 18.4 Beta. Anyone else seeing this?

I’m not seeing Liquid Glass on any standard components. A month ago around July 17th I ran our app and saw Liquid Glass on our tab view and various standard components. Those components have not been changed and yet I’m no longer seeing Liquid Glass in our app at all. Components that were previously liquid glass but now are not include TabView and back navigation buttons. I set the UIDesignRequiresCompatibility key explicitly to false but no luck. I was seeing this in Beta 7 and Beta 8 on a real device and on a sim.

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. Notes Reproduces with: Native SwiftUI WebView (iOS 26) WKWebView and UIWebView via UIViewRepresentable Presentation style (.sheet or navigation push) does not matter. Example video: https://youtu.be/Epgoz1vETKU FB: FB20386257 Sample Code import SwiftUI import WebKit struct ContentView: View { @State var url: URL? @FocusState private var isFocused: Bool var body: some View { VStack { TextField("TextField", text: .constant("")) .focused($isFocused) Button("HIDE KEYBOARD") { isFocused = false } Spacer() Button("ACTION") { url = URL(string: "https://google.com") } } .sheet(item: $url) { value in NavigationStack { WebView(url: value) .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarLeading) { Button("CLOSE") { url = nil } } } } } } } extension URL: Identifiable { public var id: String { absoluteString } }

I noticing that Monterey defaults to the NSWindowToolbarStyleAutomatic / NSWindowToolbarStyleUnified toolbar style, which suppresses the "use Small Size" menu item and customization checkbox. So I've set the window to use NSWindowToolbarStyleExpanded. However, the toolbar will no longer change to a smaller icon size, as it did in MacOS 10.14, 10.15, and 11.0. I've tried to set the toolbar item sizing to "Automatic" for all of our toolbar icons, but that results in bad positioning in both Regular and Small Size mode -- the height is way too big. The native size of the icon .png files are 128 x 128. What's odd is that if I resize the window with the toolbar to be wider, the NSToolbarItems in the overflow area will be displayed in the toolbar are 128 x 128, where the rest of the toolbar icons get displayed as a 32 x 32 icon. The only way to get it to layout remotely correct is to make the NSToolbarItem to have an explicit minimum size of 24 x 24 and maximum size of 32 x 32. And that USED to allow "small size", but on Monterey, it no longer does. Anyone had any success with small size icons on Monterey?

I used .tint(.yellow) to change the default back button color. However, I noticed that the color of the alert button text, except for .destructive, also changed. Is this a bug or Apple’s intended behavior? Thank you! Below is my code: // App struct tintTestApp: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { MainView() .tint(.yellow) } } // MainView var mainContent: some View { Text("Next") .foregroundStyle(.white) .onTapGesture { isShowingAlert = true } .alert("Go Next View", isPresented: $isShowingAlert) { Button("ok", role: .destructive) { isNextButtonTapped = true } Button("cancel", role: .cancel){} } }

I want to add a widget to my app that will display the # of pickups the user has for the day. I have the DeviceActivityReport working in the main app but can't get it to display in the widget since it is not a supported view for widgets. Is there any workaround for getting this view to the widget? I tried converting the DeviceActivityReport view to a UI image thinking maybe that would be a way to use a widget approved view type but ImageRenderer seems to fail to render an image for the view (which is just a Text view). To summarize my questions: Is it possible to display a DeviceActivityReport in a widget? If so, what is the best practice? Is converting the DeviceActivityReport view into an image and displaying that in a widget an option? Here's my attempt to convert the DeviceActivityReport view into a UIImage: import SwiftUI import _DeviceActivity_SwiftUI struct PickupsDeviceActivityReport: View {     @State private var context: DeviceActivityReport.Context = .totalActivity     @State private var renderedImage = Image(systemName: "exclamationmark.triangle")     @Environment(\.displayScale) var displayScale     var body: some View {         renderedImage             .onAppear { render() }             .onChange(of: context) {                 _ in render()             }     }     @MainActor func render() {         let renderer = ImageRenderer(content: DeviceActivityReport(context))         renderer.scale = displayScale         if let uiImage = renderer.uiImage {             renderedImage = Image(uiImage: uiImage)         }     } } Help is appreciated. Thank you.

On macOS 15.2, any Mac Catalyst project that does not support portrait iPad orientation will no longer be able to successfully show the contents of any popover controls. This does not appear to be a problem on earlier versions of macOS and it only affects Mac Catalyst builds, not "Designed for iPad" builds. STEPS TO REPRODUCE Create a project that utilizes Mac Catalyst. Create a simple button that shows a popover with simple content. Remove Portrait as a supported orientation. Run the project on macOS 15.2 as a Mac Catalyst build. Note that the content inside the popover is not shown the popover is shown. Run the project as Designed for iPad. Note that the popover content shows correctly.

Hello! The minimize behavior was working correctly while I was using Xcode 26 beta 4 with iOS 26 beta 4 simulator — when scrolling down, the Tab Bar would minimize as expected. However, after upgrading both Xcode and iOS simulator to beta 5, the tabBarMinimizeBehavior setting no longer has any visible effect — the Tab Bar stays fixed in place. Code snippet: if #available(iOS 26.0, *) { self.tabBarMinimizeBehavior = .onScrollDown } Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a UITabBarController with at least one tab containing a scrollable view (e.g., UITableView). 2. In viewDidLoad, set tabBarMinimizeBehavior to .onScrollDown. 3. Run on iOS 26 beta 5 simulator. Expected behavior (beta 4): Scrolling down hides/minimizes the Tab Bar with animation. Actual behavior (beta 5): Tab Bar remains fixed; no minimize animation is triggered. Environment: • Xcode 26 beta 5 (Build: 17A5295f) • iOS 26 beta 5 simulator (Build: 1055) – iPhone 16 Pro • Also tested on iPhone 13 mini – iOS 26 (Build: 23A5308g)

Is there a way to get a sheet on the side over an interactive view with a proper glass background on iPad? Ideally, including being able to drag the sheet between medium/large-height sizes (like a sheet with presentationDetents on iPhone), similar to the Maps app: I tried the NavigationSplitView like in the NavigationCookbook example. This is somewhat like it, but it's too narrow (sidebar-like) and doesn't get the full navigation bar: I also played around with .sheet and .presentationDetents and the related modifiers, thinking I could make the sheet appear to the side; but no luck here. It seems to have all the correct behaviors, but it's always presented form-like in the center: Example code for the sheet: import SwiftUI import MapKit struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { Map() .sheet(isPresented: .constant(true)) { NavigationStack { VStack { Text("Hello") NavigationLink("Show Foo") { Text("Foo") .navigationTitle("Foo") .containerBackground(Color.clear, for: .navigation) } } } .presentationDetents([.medium, .large]) .presentationBackgroundInteraction(.enabled) } } } I also tried placing the NavigationStack as an overlay and putting a .glassEffect behind it. From the first sight, this looks okay-ish on beta 3, but seems prone to tricky gotchas and edge cases around the glass effects and related transitions. Seems like not a good approach to me, building such navigational containers myself has been a way too big time-sink for me in the past... Anyway, example code for the overlay approach: import SwiftUI import MapKit struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { Map() .overlay(alignment: .topLeading) { NavigationStack { VStack { Text("Hello") NavigationLink("Show Foo") { ScrollView { VStack { ForEach(1...30, id: \.self) { no in Button("Hello world") {} .buttonStyle(.bordered) } } .frame(maxWidth: .infinity) } .navigationTitle("Foo") .containerBackground(Color.clear, for: .navigation) } } .containerBackground(Color.clear, for: .navigation) } .frame(width: 400) .frame(height: 600) .glassEffect(.regular, in: .rect(cornerRadius: 22)) .padding() } } } Do I miss something here or is this not possible currently with built-in means of the SwiftUI API?

Hi everyone! I'm building a tvOS 18.5 app using SwiftUI in Xcode 16.4, and I'm having trouble reliably detecting button clicks from the 2nd generation Siri Remote. .onMoveCommand(perform: handleMoveCommand) func handleMoveCommand(_ direction: MoveCommandDirection) { switch direction { case .right: nextQuote() case .left: previousQuote() default: break } } Swiping left or right on the remote's touch surface works as expected, the callback fires every time. However, when I press the physical left/right buttons (outside the touch surface), the input is unreliable. Sometimes it registers, other times I need to press multiple times or nothing happens at all. I’ve confirmed the view is .focusable(true) and bound with @FocusState. Is this a known limitation or bug with .onMoveCommand on recent tvOS versions? Or is there a more robust way to handle physical Siri Remote button presses?

I want to be able to disable all liquid glass effects from my Navigation bar, and it's bar buttons. But I still want to be able to have the liquid glass effect on my UITabbar. Is there a way to disable glass effects from navbar and still retain them all for tabbars using UIKit?

Issue Description: When toggling between the system keyboard and a custom input view, the keyboard height reported in subsequent keyboard notifications becomes incorrect!!! specifically missing the predictive text/suggestion bar height. Environment: Device: iPhone 11 Expected keyboard height: 346pt Actual reported height: 301pt (missing 45pt suggestion bar) Reproduction Steps: Present system keyboard → Height correctly reported as 346pt Switch to custom input view → Custom view displayed Switch back to system keyboard(no suggestion bar) → Height correctly reported as 301pt Trigger keyboard frame change → Height still incorrectly reported as 301pt despite suggestion bar being visible Expected Behavior: Keyboard height should consistently include the suggestion bar height (346pt total). Actual Behavior: After switching from custom input view, keyboard height excludes suggestion bar height (301pt instead of 346pt). key code private func bindEvents() { customTextField.toggleInputViewSubject.sink { [weak self] isShowingCustomInput in guard let strongSelf = self else { return } if isShowingCustomInput { strongSelf.customTextField.inputView = strongSelf.customInputView strongSelf.customInputView.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: strongSelf.view.frame.size.width, height: strongSelf.storedKeyboardHeight) } else { strongSelf.cusTextField.inputView = nil } strongSelf.customTextField.reloadInputViews() strongSelf.customTextField.becomeFirstResponder() }.store(in: &cancellables) }

An iOS app has a UINavigationController with a UINavigationBar that is non-translucent (e.g. black). When performing a push (or pop) to navigate to or from another UIViewController the UIBarButtonItems on the navigation bar are flashing a white background. With a dark navigation bar this is very noticeable and not desirable. This only occurs when run on iOS 26 and is related to Liquid Glass I've created FB19660024 with a minimal Xcode workspace to reproduce, along with a video showing the behavior. This is a cosmetic bug, not affecting functionality, but is a very undesirable effect on apps with dark and non-translucent navigation bars. Has anyone else seen this and found a workaround?

An app with a UIToolbar pinned to the bottom of a view controllers view extends to the screen edge (behind the safe area) when run on iOS 18.X but not iOS 26. This UIToolbar is set as constrained to the safeAreaLayoutGuide with the following constraints. self.view.addConstraints([ bottomToolbar.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.view.leadingAnchor), bottomToolbar.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.view.trailingAnchor), bottomToolbar.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.bottomAnchor), bottomToolbar.heightAnchor.constraint(greaterThanOrEqualToConstant: 44.0) ]) This is especially noticeable when the UIToolbar background color differs from the view background color. This occurs on iOS 26 beta 6, app built with Xcode 26 beta 5. I've posted a Feedback FB19664903 including a minimal Xcode workspace that reproduces this issue. Anyone suggestions would be appreciated ... this definitely seems like a regression.

Hello, I have a number of UIViewControllers that are presented as follows: vc.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationStyle.popover vc.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyle.coverVertical self.present(vc, animated: true, completion: nil) The VC is designed from a Storyboard where I set the 'view' of the VC to have a .clear 'backgroundColor', I have a smaller 'Alert View' added as a subview which is what the user interacts with. In iOS 13 - iOS 18 this would present modally, not take up the entire screen and allow the user to see relevant context from the screen underneath. In iOS 26 Beta 5 and every beta prior the system injects a 'UIDropShadowView' in the View Hierarchy, this view has a solid color backdrop, either white/black depending on light/dark mode. This causes all underlying content to be blocked and essentially forces a full screen modal presentation despite the existing design. I am looking for a way to remove this solid color. I'm not sure if it's intentional or a bug / oversight. I have been able to remove it in a hacky way, I cycle the view hierarchy to find 'UIDropShadowView' and set it's backdrop to transparent. However when you swipe down to partially dismiss the view it turns to Liquid Glass when it is around 75% dismissed and then resets the background color to white/black. I tried creating a custom UIViewControllerTransitioningDelegate so that I could re-implement the existing behaviour but it's incredibly difficult to mimic the partial dismiss swipe down effect on the VC. I have also tried changing my presentation to: vc.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationStyle.overFullScreen vc.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyle.crossDissolve This works but then the user loses the ability to interactively swipe to dismiss. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Is there any way to prevent the keyboard from bouncing when changing the focus state in onSubmit? Or is it not recommended to change focus in onSubmit? The following view is setup so that pressing return on the keyboard should cause focus to move between the TextFields. struct TextFieldFocusState: View { enum Field { case field1 case field2 } @FocusState var focusedField: Field? var body: some View { Form { TextField("Field 1", text: .constant("")) .focused($focusedField, equals: .field1) .onSubmit { focusedField = .field2 } TextField("Field 2", text: .constant("")) .focused($focusedField, equals: .field2) .onSubmit { focusedField = .field1 } } } } I would expect that when pressing return, the keyboard would say on screen. What actually happens is the keyboard appears to bounce when the return key is pressed (first half of gif). I assume this is because onSubmit starts dismissing the keyboard then setting the focus state causes the keyboard to be presented again. The issue doesn't occur when tapping directly on the text fields to change focus (second half of gif).
