When building in Xcode on MacOS Tahoe, it seems it is no longer possible to dynamically specify a "small" size toolbar for NSToolbar/NSToolbarItem. It works in MacOS code compiled and linked on earlier systems. I don't want to use "SFSymbol", or "templates". I have over 60 custom-made .png toolbars, in individual Image Set files, at the previous requisite sizes of 24x24 / 48x48, and 32x32 / 64x64. Sure -- I can configure an NSToolbar with whatever size .png assets I want. I just can't dynamically switch between the two groups of sizes. According to the Apple Coding Assistant, the only solution is to change the image names of each of the NSToolbarItems at runtime. OK -- but even when attempting that, the NSToolbarItems refuse to take on their smaller size... ...unless: they are attached to a custom view NSToolbarItem with an NSButton of style "Bevel". I have about 10 of those, and YES -- I CAN change those to a "small" size. Is this REALLY what I'm forced to do?! The Apple Coding Assistant just runs me around in circles, making coding suggestions that include properties that don't exists. I've gone around and around on these issues for over a week -- it can't be this hard, right? Is there no way to make multiple NSToolbar objects, one for "large" and one for "small"?

Hello. I have an 12 year old app that still has some objective-c code in it. I have a place where i have a flip animation between 2 view controllers that looks like this: [UIView transitionFromView:origView toView:newViewController.view duration:0.5 options:UIViewAnimationOptionTransitionFlipFromRight completion:nil]; It has looked like this since 2012 at least. In our production release, it works prior to 26.1, but in 26.1 and 26.2, the flip is off-center and looks weird. it's like both edges flip the same way. It's a little bit hard to explain. If seen at least 2 other app store apps that i have installed behave this way too, from 26.1 and onwards. Anyone else seen this? Is there anything that can be done about it? Thankful for thoughts.

I just found a weird bug: If you place a Text view using .foregroundStyle(.secondary), .tertiary, or other semantic colors inside a ScrollView, and apply a Material background clipped to an UnevenRoundedRectangle, the text becomes invisible. This issue does not occur when: The text uses .primary or explicit colors (e.g., .red, Color.blue), or The background is clipped to a standard shape (e.g., RoundedRectangle). A minimal reproducible example is shown below: ScrollView{ VStack { Image(systemName: "globe") .imageScale(.large) .foregroundStyle(.tint) Text("Hello World.") .font(.system(size: 15)) .foregroundStyle(.quinary) } } .padding() .frame(height: 100) .background(Material.regular) .clipShape(UnevenRoundedRectangle(topLeadingRadius: 10,bottomLeadingRadius: 8,bottomTrailingRadius:8, topTrailingRadius: 8))

Hello, I have a question about running tests on multiple simulators. Currently, my company has a WDIO+Appium test suite with XCUITEST driver that runs on a single simulator through a mockttp proxy (we are intercepting and mocking some of the responses from our APIs and pass through the rest). In order to route the traffic we are currently using 'networksetup -setsecurewebproxy '. Everything works as expected. With growing number of tests we'd like to scale number of simulators on a single host to 3-5. We have a working setup but the problem are system-wide proxy settings routing traffic from multiple simulators, which we can't distinguish by UDID or any other means, we know of. We can spin multiple mock servers on the same machine but we are struggling to find the way to route the traffic on a simulator basis. In the end, both options are viable: 1 mock server running for multiple simulators N number of mock servers for N number of simulators Has anyone had the same/similar problem? How to approach this? We are currently running on Sequoia OSX and platform version 18.6. Thanks!

Calling contactAccessPicker results in a blank sheet and a jetsam error, rather than the expected contact picker, using Apple’s sample code, only on device with iOS 26.2.1. This is happening on a iPhone 17 Pro Max running 26.2.1, and not on a simulator. I’m running Apple's sample project Accessing a person’s contact data using Contacts and ContactsUI Steps: Run the sample app on device running iOS 26.2.1. Use the flow to authorize .limited access with 1 contact: Tap request access, Continue, Select Contacts. Select a contact, Continue, Allow Selected Contact. This all works as expected. Tap the add contact button in the toolbar to add a second contact. Expected: This should show the Contact Access Picker UI. Actual: Sheet is shown with no contents. See screenshot of actual results on iOS device running 26.2.1. Reported as FB21812568 I see a similar (same?) error reported for 26.1. It seems strange that the feature is completely broken for multiple point releases. Is anyone else seeing this or are the two of us running into the same rare edge case? Expected Outcome, seen on simulator running 26.2 Actual outcome, seen on device running 26.2.1

During editing in Pages (or Word) I am getting these glitches (see attachment). Started after the last update to Mac OS 26.3 (beta) Also removed 2 recent instalments (Blackhole audio driver and kDrive/Infomaniak, but trouble is still there. 27" iMac 2020 (Intel) i7 3,8 Ghz AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT 8 GB 24 GB RAM macOS Tahoe 26.3 (=beta) Tried restart in safe mode, checked fonts. Talked to aissistent to get a solution, but no ...) Thx for any advice, Pieter (not a developer so please kee pit simple 🙏🏻)

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.

Is there any reason why the SwiftUI Image hasn’t a direct init(data: Data) like UIImage from UIKit? In my opinion it’s very unintuitive and expensive to create a UIImage in the first step to create a SwiftUI Image with Image(uiImage: UIImage) in the second step. In addition to that, this causes unnecessary UIKit imports. In my opinion this is a very obvious small in the API, so are there any reasons why it is what it is? Best regards

Hello everybody! TLDR: Issues with visibleItemsInvalidationHandler. Minimal code to reproduce available. I've been working with Compositional Layout for a while now and recently I've found myself needing to implement custom animation based on scroll position of UI elements. Once I found visibleItemsInvalidationHandler it felt like the exact solution that I needed. Once I implement I've found out it doesn't quite behave as you'd expect. To put it simply, it seems like the animations only work if your whole layout does not use .estimated nor .uniformAcrossSiblings. As soon as you use them then the animations will stop working, I've debugged it deeper and it seems like the invalidation context generated by it does not include the indexPath of the cells, which is always included in the version in which it works. Feel free to swap the line 51 with its comment to flip between the working and failing version of it. Playground Example My final question therefore is... Is this the expected behavior? The documentation doesn't give any clues about such behavior and although I've tried relentlessly to find a workaround for this specific hiccup I was not successful with it.

I'm using a custom modifier called AutoSheetDetentModifier to automatically size a sheet based on its content. On iOS 26, it works as expected: the content height is measured correctly and the sheet shrinks to match that height. However, on iOS 16, 17 and 18, the same code doesn’t work. The content height is still measured, but the sheet does not reduce its height. Instead, the sheet remains larger and the content appears vertically centered. (Note that content() includes ScrollView) public struct AutoSheetDetentModifier: ViewModifier { @State private var height: CGFloat = 380 // default value to avoid bouncing public func body(content: Content) -> some View { content .modifier(MeasureHeightViewModifier(height: $height)) .presentationDetents([.height(height)]) } } public struct MeasureHeightViewModifier: ViewModifier { @Binding var height: CGFloat public func body(content: Content) -> some View { content .fixedSize(horizontal: false, vertical: true) .background( GeometryReader { geo -> Color in DispatchQueue.main.async { height = geo.size.height } return Color.clear } ) } } extension View { public func applyAutoSheetDetent() -> some View { self .modifier(AutoSheetDetentModifier()) } } public var body: some View { VStack { header() content() // includes ScrollView footer() } .background(Color.customGray) .applyAutoSheetDetent() } func content() -> some View { ScrollView { VStack { ForEach(items) { item in itemRow(item) } } } .frame(maxHeight: UIScreen.main.bounds.height * 0.7) } Screenshot from iOS 26 (working as expected): Screenshot from iOS 18 (not working): How can I make .presentationDetents(.height) shrink the sheet correctly on iOS 16–18, the same way it does on iOS 26?

I have attached 2 images of our Mac Apps user interface. The app is built for macOS 15.6 or newer. On macOS 15 and earlier everything looks fine. But the same App running on macOS 26 the controls disappear. We were able to temporarily resolve the problem by adding UIDesignRequiresCompatibility to the info.plist. This type of nonsense happens all over the app without the compatibility switch. Shouldn't all these legacy controls be backward compatible on Glass? This part of the app where the controls are disappearing is built in Swift (not swift ui) and uses standard programatic layout and visual constraints. On macOS 26, there are no Xcode warnings or layout errors on the console relative to the layout so we are confused as to how we would resolve this without the use of UIDesignRequiresCompatibility. Is this some kind of bug in NSControl glass compatibility? We are not likely to move the entire app into SwiftUI anytime soon. How would we resolve this?

The Paste button (using UIPasteControll) located on UINavigationBar is not shown at application startup on iOS/iPadOS 26. This issue will disappear when device is rotated or window size is changed. And this issue does not occur on iOS / iPadOS 18 and earlier. I uploaded the sample project to github at the following URL. https://github.com/gpn-galapagos/PasteButtonApp.git Has anyone had the same issue or knows a workaround?

My project uses the UINavigationController's largeTitle on the latest iOS 26.1, but I found that when I set the backgroundColor, the navigation bar's largeTitle disappeared after switching between normal and large titles. I checked the latest documentation and consulted AI, but I have not found any good solutions. For the demo project, please refer to FB20986869

I'm Trying to add an NSProgressIndicator on the unlock (first lock screen ) in macOS ( the screen with the lock icon ) I already added a label and it works fine and after entering the password on the second (authentication) page I can able to add ProgressIndicator but not on first screen. But Whenever I try to add a Progress indicator, the entire screen turns Black and nothing is displayed Is NSProgressIndicator supported on the first unlock Screen ? Or does macOS block animated UI on this screen Any Guidance would be helpful Thanks

I’m working on a SwiftUI screen where I need to hide a header when the user scrolls down and show it again when the user scrolls up. I’m currently using a ScrollView combined with GeometryReader to detect scroll offset changes and update state variables like isScrolling or isScrollingDown. The issue is that the behavior is inconsistent. When I scroll down, the header hides correctly, but when I scroll back up, the header often doesn’t appear again even though the offset is changing. Sometimes the header comes back with a delay, and other times it never appears at all. Along with this, I’m also seeing noticeable UI lag whenever I try to calculate content height or read multiple geometry values inside the ScrollView. It looks like the frequent state updates inside the scroll offset tracking are causing layout recalculations and frame drops. I’ve tried placing the header in different positions (inside a ZStack aligned to the top, inside the VStack above the ScrollView, and with transitions like .push(from: .top)), but the result is still the same: smooth scrolling breaks, and the header doesn’t reliably animate back when scrolling upward. What I’m looking for is a minimal and efficient approach to detect scroll direction and trigger the header hide/show animation without causing performance issues or recomputing expensive layout values. Any guidance or a simplified pattern that works well for dynamic headers in SwiftUI would be very helpful. if isScrolling { headerStackView() //Includes Navigation Bar .transition( .asymmetric( insertion: .push(from: .top), removal: .push(from: .bottom) ) ) } GeometryReader { outer in let outerHeight = outer.size.height ScrollView(.vertical) { VStack { content() // Heavy view + contains its own ScrollView } .background { GeometryReader { proxy in let contentHeight = proxy.size.height let minY = max( min(0, proxy.frame(in: .named("ScrollView")).minY), outerHeight - contentHeight ) if #available(iOS 17.0, *) { Color.clear .onChange(of: minY) { oldVal, newVal in // Scroll direction detection if (isScrolling && newVal < oldVal) || (!isScrolling && newVal > oldVal) { isScrolling = newVal > oldVal } } } } } } .coordinateSpace(name: "ScrollView") } .padding(.top, 1)

When I compiled my legacy project with Tahoe's macOS 26 SDK, NSRulerViews are showing a very different design: Under prior macOS versions the horizontal and verrical ruler's background were blurring the content view, which was extending under the rulers, showing through their transparency. With Tahoe the horizontal ruler is always reflecting the scrollview's background color, showing the blurred content view beneath. And the vertical ruler is always completely transparent (without any blurring), showing the content together with the ruler's markers and ticks. It's difficult to describe, I'll try to replicate this behavior with a minimal test project, and probably file a bug report / enhancement request. But before I take next steps, can anyone confirm this observation? Maybe it is an intentional design decision by Apple?

FaceTime’s screen-share audio balance is insanely absurd right now. Whenever I share media, the system audio that gets sent through FaceTime is a tiny whisper even at full volume (or even when connected to my speaker or headphones). The moment anyone on the call makes any noise at all, the shared audio ducks so hard it disappears, while the voice (or rustling or air conditioning noise) spikes to painful levels. It’s impossible to watch or listen to anything together. Also, the feature where FaceTime would shrink to a square during screen-sharing has been completely removed. That was a good feature and I'm really confused why it's gone. Now, the FaceTime window stays as a long rectangle that covers part of the content I'm trying to share (unless I do full screen tile, but then I can't pull up any other windows during the call) and can't be made smaller than about a third of the screen. You can't resize the window or adjust its dimensions, so it ends up blocking the actual media you're trying to watch. Here are some feature requests/fixes that would greatly improve the FaceTime screen-share experience: Option to adjust the shared media volume independently of call audio. Disable/toggle the extreme automatic audio docking while screen-sharing Reintroduce the minimized “floating square” mode or allow full manual resizing and repositioning of the FaceTime window during screen-share sessions. Overall, this setup makes FaceTime screen-sharing basically unusable. The audio balance is so inconsistent that it’s easier to switch to Zoom or Google Meet, which both handle shared sound correctly and let you move the call window out of the way. Until these issues are fixed, there’s no practical reason to use FaceTime for shared viewing at all.

If the cell is expandable in List View, it will show slowly after deletion swipe. the image shows how it looks like when this issue happens and it should be easy to reproduce with this sample codes // Model for list items struct ListItem: Identifiable { let id = UUID() let title: String let createdDate: Date let description: String } struct ExpandableListView: View { // Sample constant data private let items: [ListItem] = [ ListItem( title: "First Item", createdDate: Date().addingTimeInterval(-86400 * 5), description: "This is a detailed description for the first item. It contains two lines of text to show when expanded." ), ListItem( title: "Second Item", createdDate: Date().addingTimeInterval(-86400 * 3), description: "This is a detailed description for the second item. It provides additional information about this entry." ), ListItem( title: "Third Item", createdDate: Date().addingTimeInterval(-86400 * 1), description: "This is a detailed description for the third item. Tap to expand and see more details here." ), ListItem( title: "Fourth Item", createdDate: Date(), description: "This is a detailed description for the fourth item. It shows comprehensive information when tapped." ) ] // Track which item is currently selected/expanded @State private var selectedItemId: UUID? = nil var body: some View { NavigationView { List { ForEach(items) { item in ExpandableCell( item: item, isExpanded: selectedItemId == item.id ) { // Handle tap - toggle selection withAnimation(.easeInOut(duration: 0.3)) { if selectedItemId == item.id { selectedItemId = nil } else { selectedItemId = item.id } } } } .onDelete { indexSet in for index in indexSet { print("delete \(items[index].title)") } } } .navigationTitle("Items") } } } struct ExpandableCell: View { let item: ListItem let isExpanded: Bool let onTap: () -> Void private var dateFormatter: DateFormatter { let formatter = DateFormatter() formatter.dateStyle = .medium formatter.timeStyle = .short return formatter } var body: some View { VStack(alignment: .leading, spacing: 8) { // Always visible: Title and Date HStack { VStack(alignment: .leading, spacing: 4) { Text(item.title) .font(.headline) .foregroundColor(.primary) Text(dateFormatter.string(from: item.createdDate)) .font(.caption) .foregroundColor(.secondary) } Spacer() // Chevron indicator Image(systemName: isExpanded ? "chevron.up" : "chevron.down") .foregroundColor(.secondary) .font(.caption) } // Expandable: Description (2 lines) if isExpanded { Text(item.description) .font(.body) .foregroundColor(.secondary) .lineLimit(2) .fixedSize(horizontal: false, vertical: true) .transition(.opacity.combined(with: .move(edge: .top))) .padding(.top, 4) } } .padding(.vertical, 8) .contentShape(Rectangle()) .onTapGesture { onTap() } } } #Preview { ExpandableListView() }

Hi everyone, I'm encountering an unexpected behavior with modal presentations in UIKit. Here’s what happens: I have UIViewControllerA (let’s call it the "orange" VC) pushed onto a UINavigationController stack. I present UIViewControllerB (the "red" VC, inside its own UINavigationController as a .formSheet) modally over UIViewControllerA. After a short delay, I pop UIViewControllerA from the navigation stack. Issue: After popping UIViewControllerA, the modal UIViewControllerB remains visible on the screen and in memory. I expected that dismissing (popping) the presenting view controller would also dismiss the modal, but it stays. Expected Behavior: When UIViewControllerA (orange) is popped, I expect the modal UIViewControllerB (red) to be dismissed as well. Actual Behavior: The modal UIViewControllerB remains on screen and is not dismissed, even though its presenting view controller has been removed from the navigation stack. Video example: https://youtube.com/shorts/sttbd6p_r_c Question: Is this the expected behavior? If so, what is the recommended way to ensure that the modal is dismissed when its presenting view controller is removed from the navigation stack? Code snippet: class MainVC: UIViewController { private weak var orangeVC: UIViewController? override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() self.view.backgroundColor = .blue let dq = DispatchQueue.main dq.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 1) { [weak self] in let vc1 = UIViewController() vc1.view.backgroundColor = .orange vc1.modalPresentationStyle = .overCurrentContext self?.navigationController?.pushViewController(vc1, animated: true) self?.orangeVC = vc1 dq.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 1) { [weak self] in let vc2 = UIViewController() vc2.view.backgroundColor = .red vc2.modalPresentationStyle = .formSheet vc2.isModalInPresentation = true let nav = UINavigationController(rootViewController: vc2) if let sheet = nav.sheetPresentationController { sheet.detents = [.medium()] } self?.orangeVC?.present(nav, animated: true) dq.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 1) { [weak self] in self?.navigationController?.popViewController(animated: true) } } } } } Thank you for your help!
