In a SwiftUI lab, I was asking about setting the focus state down a view hierarchy. The answer I got was to pass the focus state down the views as a binding. Conceptually, that made sense, so I moved on to other questions. But now that I am trying to implement it, I am having problems. In the parent view, I have something like this: @FocusState private var focusElement: UUID? Then I am setting a property like this in the child view: @Binding var focusedId: UUID? When I try to create the detail view, I'm trying this: DetailView(focusedId: $focusElement) But this doesn't work. The error I get is: Cannot convert value of type 'FocusState<UUID?>.Binding' to expected argument type 'Binding<UUID?>' What is the right way to pass down the focus state to a child view so that it can update back up to the parent view? I am trying to update from one child view, and have a TextField in a sibling view get focus.

My use case is the following: Every user of my app can create as an owner a set of items.  These items are private until the owner invites other users to share all of them as participant. The participants can modify the shared items and/or add other items. So, sharing is not done related to individual items, but to all items of an owner. I want to use CoreData & CloudKit to have local copies of private and shared items. To my understanding, CoreData & CloudKit puts all mirrored items in a special zone „com.apple.coredata.cloudkit.zone“. So, this zone should be shared, i.e. all items in it. In the video it is said that NSPersistentCloudKitContainer uses Record Zone Sharing optionally in contrast to hierarchically record sharing using a root record. But how is this done? Maybe I can declare zone „com.apple.coredata.cloudkit.zone“ as a shared zone?

Starting with iOS 26 beta, I'm encountering an intermittent crash in production builds related to Auto Layout and background threading. This crash did not occur on iOS 18 or earlier and has become reproducible only on devices running iOS 26 betas. We have already performed a thorough audit of our code: • Verified that all UIKit view hierarchy and layout mutations occur on the main thread. • Re-tested with strict logging—confirmed all remaining layout/constraint/view updates are performed on the main thread. • No third-party UI SDKs are used in the relevant flow. Despite that, the crash still occurs and always from a background thread, during internal UIKit layout commits. Fatal Exception: NSInternalInconsistencyException Modifications to the layout engine must not be performed from a background thread after it has been accessed from the main thread. 0 MyApp 0x7adbc8 FIRCLSProcessRecordAllThreads + 172 1 MyApp 0x7adfd4 FIRCLSProcessRecordAllThreads + 1208 2 MyApp 0x7bc4b4 FIRCLSHandler + 56 3 MyApp 0x7bc25c __FIRCLSExceptionRecord_block_invoke + 100 4 libdispatch.dylib 0x1b7cc _dispatch_client_callout + 16 5 libdispatch.dylib 0x118a0 _dispatch_lane_barrier_sync_invoke_and_complete + 56 6 MyApp 0x7bb1f0 FIRCLSExceptionRecord + 224 7 MyApp 0x7bbd1c FIRCLSExceptionRecordNSException + 456 8 MyApp 0x7badf4 FIRCLSTerminateHandler() + 396 9 Intercom 0x86684 IntercomSDK_sentrycrashcm_cppexception_getAPI + 308 10 libc++abi.dylib 0x11bdc std::__terminate(void (*)()) + 16 11 libc++abi.dylib 0x15314 __cxa_get_exception_ptr + 86 12 libc++abi.dylib 0x152bc __cxxabiv1::failed_throw(__cxxabiv1::__cxa_exception*) + 90 13 libobjc.A.dylib 0x3190c objc_exception_throw + 448 14 CoreAutoLayout 0x13a4 -[NSISEngine optimize] + 314 15 CoreAutoLayout 0x1734 -[NSISEngine _optimizeWithoutRebuilding] + 72 16 CoreAutoLayout 0x1404 -[NSISEngine optimize] + 96 17 CoreAutoLayout 0xee8 -[NSISEngine performPendingChangeNotifications] + 104 18 UIKitCore 0x27ac8 -[UIView(Hierarchy) layoutSubviews] + 136 19 UIKitCore 0xfe760 -[UIWindow layoutSubviews] + 68 20 UIKitCore 0x234228 -[UITextEffectsWindow layoutSubviews] + 44 21 UIKitCore 0x27674 -[UIImageView animationImages] + 912 22 UIKitCore 0x28134 -[UIView(Internal) _viewControllerToNotifyOnLayoutSubviews] + 40 23 UIKitCore 0x18c2898 -[UIView(CALayerDelegate) layoutSublayersOfLayer:] + 2532 24 QuartzCore 0xabd98 CA::Layer::perform_update_(CA::Layer*, CALayer*, unsigned int, CA::Transaction*) + 116 25 QuartzCore 0x8e810 CA::Layer::update_if_needed(CA::Transaction*, unsigned int, unsigned int) + 600 26 QuartzCore 0xad45c CA::Layer::layout_and_display_if_needed(CA::Transaction*) + 200 27 QuartzCore 0x6e30c CA::Context::commit_transaction(CA::Transaction*, double, double*) + 540 28 QuartzCore 0x9afc4 CA::Transaction::commit() + 644 29 QuartzCore 0x16974c CA::Transaction::release_thread(void*) + 180 30 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x4c28 _pthread_tsd_cleanup + 620 31 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x4998 _pthread_exit + 84 32 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x5e3c pthread_atfork + 54 33 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x1440 _pthread_wqthread + 428 34 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x8c0 start_wqthread + 8 Any ideas?

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.

I'm currently using the extension below to determine whether an iPhone has a notch so I can adjust my UI accordingly. extension UIDevice { var hasNotch: Bool { if userInterfaceIdiom == .phone, let window = (UIApplication.shared.connectedScenes .compactMap { $0 as? UIWindowScene } .flatMap { $0.windows } .first { $0.isKeyWindow }) { return window.safeAreaInsets.bottom > 0 } return false } } (Adapted from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73946911/how-to-detect-users-device-has-dynamic-island-in-uikit) This no longer works in iOS 26, and I have yet to find a similar method that works. Does anyone have any fixes?

Hi. If the app is in landscape only and when the SKStoreProductViewController is presented, the safeArea changes to what looks like a portrait mode safe area. When the SKStoreProductViewController is dismissed, the safeArea does NOT revert back to the original values. Is there a way to force the safeArea to "reset"? I've submitted some bug tickets through Apple Feedback but I haven't received any response about it. The below code will pop up the SKStoreProductViewController and if you have a UIView that is constrained to the safe area, then you can visibly notice that the safe area is changed and doesn't go back. I have tested this on iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 15, and iPhone 16 Pro and in the Simulators. The incorrect behavior happens on those and probably more. Thanks. #import "ViewController.h" #import &amp;lt;StoreKit/StoreKit.h&amp;gt; @interface ViewController () @property (nonatomic, strong) SKStoreProductViewController *productViewController; @end @implementation ViewController - (IBAction)buttonTapped:(id)sender { self.productViewController = [[SKStoreProductViewController alloc] init]; NSDictionary *parameters = @{ @"id" : @"6443575749" }; [self.productViewController loadProductWithParameters:parameters completionBlock:^(BOOL result, NSError * _Nullable error) { [self presentViewController:self.productViewController animated:YES completion:^{ // presented // The panel that is constraint to the safe area visibly shows that the safe area is no longer correct. }]; }]; } @end

To get menubar size, we can call. let menuBarHeight = NSStatusBar.system.thickness That is returning 24 and it is the same as my external screen. I did command + shift + 5 and use the screen capture tool to rougly measure the size of menubar. It is roughly 24px. However, for my macbook pro 14 inches m2 pro. The menubar seem thicker because of the webcam. Is there a way to find out the size in Swift?

How can I achieve the result of buttons glass effect like sample videos that was show at de WWDC25? I tried a lot of approaches and I still far a way from the video. I would like something like the pictures attached. Could send a sample code the get the same result? Thanks

When using a .zoom navigation transition, where .matchedTransitionSource is applied to a button in a toolbar and the destination view is a sheet which is presented with PresentationDetent.medium, the transition works initially, but shortly after it completes, the sheet's background is dimmed and the text of the source button reappears abruptly. Code and a screenshot are below, though the effect is best observed when interacting with the view. // // ContentView.swift // ZoomNavigationTransitionSample // // Created by Matthew DuBois on 6/15/25. // import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @State private var isPresentingSheet = false @Namespace private var namespace var body: some View { NavigationStack { List { Text("Some content") } .navigationTitle("Sample") .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarTrailing) { Button("Button") { isPresentingSheet = true } .matchedTransitionSource(id: "button", in: namespace) } } .sheet(isPresented: $isPresentingSheet) { Text("Some sheet content") .navigationTransition(.zoom(sourceID: "button", in: namespace)) .presentationDetents([.medium]) } } } } #Preview { ContentView() }

Since updating my MacBook Air to macOS Tahoe 26.0 Developer Beta 2, I’ve encountered a persistent cursor misalignment issue: When interacting with lists or contextual menus, the cursor’s visual position does not align with what it actually selects. The system registers the cursor slightly above where it appears, causing clicks to select the wrong option or fail to register. As a temporary workaround, I can sometimes position the cursor off-target and press Enter to select, but this is a frustrating and inefficient workaround. The issue persists after a restart and appears across multiple areas of the OS: Right-clicking an app in the Dock to open the contextual menu → cursor highlights an incorrect item relative to its position. In System Settings menus. Even on the Feedback Assistant site when selecting issue categories. Steps to Reproduce: 1️⃣ Update to macOS Tahoe 26.0 Developer Beta 2 on MacBook Air. 2️⃣ Right-click on any open application in the Dock. 3️⃣ Attempt to select an option from the list that appears. 4️⃣ Observe that the cursor highlights or interacts with a different option than where the cursor is visibly located. Notes: Issue is consistent across reboots. Affects workflow and general navigation. Temporary workaround using keyboard navigation is insufficient for productivity. FB Number: FB18531124 If others are seeing this as well, please confirm below so Apple can prioritize investigation.

Reference Feedback FB19152594 Occurs with my 3rd Party UIKit App called "Lifeorities". Latest occurrence was 7/27/25 at 13:49 pm. Launch app (actual device running iPadOS 26 or iPadOS 26 simulator) Initial screen displays view content and floating tab bar at top of screen (both portrait orientation and landscape). Floating tab bar items respond to liquid glass effect (but liquid glass appearance of the whole tab bar doesn't comply with new glass pill shaped tab bar area). Selected tab bar item obeys selected app designated color (assets). Unselected tab bar items are using black text which is unreadable on app background which used dark mode as default (as intended). Selecting another tab bar item shows the liquid glass effect as you navigate to the new tab bar item and shows the app designated color (assets). Previous tab bar item that was selected, now is unselected and shows black text. NOTE: iOS tab bar items work fine (show white foreground color as desired for unselected tab bar items).

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?

I am using Button in my app, is push button and style is Momentary push in and bordered, added image icon on it also bottom shows with image with white background , like below But in Tahoe OS, it shows without white background(almost like border less) Do I need to change button style?

Hello! After upgrading to Xcode 16 & Swift 6 & iOS 18 I starting receiveing strange crashes. Happens randomly in different view and pointing to onGeometryChange action block. I added DispatchQueue.main.async { in hopes it will help but it didn't. HStack { ... } .onGeometryChange(for: CGSize.self, of: \.size) { value in DispatchQueue.main.async { self.width = value.width self.height = value.height } } As far as I understand, onGeometryChange is defined as nonisolated and Swift 6 enforce thread checking for the closures, SwiftUI views are always run on the main thread. Does it mean we can not use onGeometryChange safely in swiftui?

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?

If I put the phone flat on a table, the left and right swipe gestures is not working but up and down gestures works. Only when I put the iPhone to some vertical degree, the left and right swipe works. Tested on 2 iPhone 7 Plus and 2 iPhone 13. Anyone has similar experience? If yes, why?

Hello everyone, I’m experiencing an issue with the Android Emulator in Android Studio (version Ladybug) on my Mac running macOS Monterey (12.7). The emulator frequently displays the message “System UI isn’t responding” and then crashes. I've tried a few troubleshooting steps, including: Restarting Android Studio and the emulator. wipe data on AVD. tried to change the emulator performance from automatic to hardware but this option isn't available to me. Despite these efforts, the problem persists. Has anyone else encountered this issue? Any suggestions or solutions would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, There are total three errors from the app running on the device. First one is right after the app starts running on the device: Could not create a sandbox extension for '/var/containers/Bundle/Application/D4CBF093-EFB1-43C5-996D-7D5CB04BF643/appadmob.app' Below second issue comes when I dismiss the Interstitial Ad First responder issue detected: non-key window attempting reload - allowing due to manual keyboard (first responder window is <UIWindow: 0x10d11c700; frame = (0 0; 414 896); hidden = YES; autoresize = W+H; gestureRecognizers = <NSArray: 0x301749300>; backgroundColor = <UIDynamicSystemColor: 0x3002b3080; name = _windowBackgroundColor>; layer = <UIWindowLayer: 0x3019b7960>>, key window is <QUIWindow: 0x10880db00; baseClass = UIWindow; frame = (0 0; 414 896); gestureRecognizers = <NSArray: 0x3017276e0>; layer = <UIWindowLayer: 0x3019852f0>>) And the third issue below follows right after the second one: Error acquiring assertion: <Error Domain=RBSServiceErrorDomain Code=1 "((target is not running or doesn't have entitlement com.apple.developer.web-browser-engine.rendering AND target is not running or doesn't have entitlement com.apple.developer.web-browser-engine.networking AND target is not running or doesn't have entitlement com.apple.developer.web-browser-engine.webcontent))" UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=((target is not running or doesn't have entitlement com.apple.developer.web-browser-engine.rendering AND target is not running or doesn't have entitlement com.apple.developer.web-browser-engine.networking AND target is not running or doesn't have entitlement com.apple.developer.web-browser-engine.webcontent))}> 0x118024480 - ProcessAssertion::acquireSync Failed to acquire RBS assertion 'WebProcess NearSuspended Assertion' for process with PID=19180, error: (null) Failed to terminate process: Error Domain=com.apple.extensionKit.errorDomain Code=18 "(null)" UserInfo={NSUnderlyingError=0x3019254a0 {Error Domain=RBSRequestErrorDomain Code=3 "No such process found" UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=No such process found}}} Also when I dismissed the interstitial ad, the screen looks greyed out, but when I touch the screen, the screen comes to normal. Could you please suggest any solution for the problems. Thanks,

Hi! I was trying to add an animation to my SwiftUI view with UIKit, but after the animation runs there's a delay before the view will accept touch interactions. I thought it was because of the frame size of the view controller, but even after fixing that I still get the delay. Could anyone point me to where I might be going wrong, or if maybe using a UIKit modifier for the animation just doesn't work? Any help would be greatly appreciated! UIView: class BounceView: UIView { required init() { super.init(frame: .zero) } func bounceAnimation() { guard let piece = self.subviews.first else { return } UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.7, delay: 0, usingSpringWithDamping: 0.7, initialSpringVelocity: 0) { piece.frame.origin.x += 10 } } func bounceBack() { guard let piece = self.subviews.first else { return } UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.7, delay: 0, usingSpringWithDamping: 0.7, initialSpringVelocity: 0) { piece.frame.origin.x -= 10 } } required init?(coder: NSCoder) { fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented") } } UIView controller: class BounceViewController: UIViewController { init(controller: UIViewController) { super.init(nibName: nil, bundle: nil) view = BounceView() addChild(controller) controller.view.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false controller.view.backgroundColor = .clear view.addSubview(controller.view) controller.didMove(toParent: self) } // adjusts view to match bounds of child override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() { super.viewDidLayoutSubviews() let subviewFrame = self.view.subviews.first?.bounds ?? .zero view.frame = subviewFrame print(subviewFrame) self.updateViewConstraints() } func update(animated: Bool) { let bounceView = view as?

I’m following the example code from Apple to implement the new iPadOS 18 TabView() with the new Tab(). While the tabbing itself is working fine, I can’t get it to show up a (large) navigation title in the sidebar (like the Home or Files app). I’ve tried placing .navigationTitle("App Name") at the TabView, but that doesn’t work. Is it possible to do this in any way or is this not recommended to show? TabView { Tab("Overview", systemImage: "film") { Text("Put a OverviewView here") } TabSection("Watch") { Tab("Movies", systemImage: "film") { Text("Put a MoviesView here") } Tab("TV Shows", systemImage: "tv") { Text("Put a TVShowsView here") } } TabSection("Listen") { Tab("Music", systemImage: "music.note.list") { Text("Put a MusicView here") } Tab("Podcasts", systemImage: "mic") { Text("Put a PodcastsView here") } } } .tabViewStyle(.sidebarAdaptable) .navigationTitle("App Name") .navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.large) I know that there is also the .tabViewSidebarHeader() modifier, but that adds any view above the scroll view content. Neither does that easily allow to make it look like the regular navigation title, nor does it actually display in the navigation bar at the top, when scrolling down.
