Text with .secondary vanishes when Material background is clipped to UnevenRoundedRectangle in ScrollView
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))

The Nightmare of Small Toolbar Icons
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"?

iPadOS Floating Tab Bar Items (unselected) use Black Text - Unreadable with App Black Background (Dark Mode): UIKit App
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).

Avoid trackpad gesture conflict between dragging and accessibility zooming when using three fingers
Double-tap three fingers and drag to change zoom” should suppress “Three Finger to Drag”. Currently these gestures are triggered simultaneously, for no real reasons. I saw different behaviors for different environments, but none is desired. Current and desired behavior: This seems an issue so I filed a feedback.

Webview In-App Browser Microsoft Login Redirection Not Working
Hello, We received a rejection on one of our IOS applications because we were doing Microsoft MSAL login through the user's browser. The representative recommended that we use Webview to do in-app logins. However when we tried to handle the custom app uri redirection (looking like myapp://auth/), Webview does not seem to send the user back to the application. Does anyone have a fix for this? Thanks!

UIViewController memory leak with modal presentedViewController
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!

Paste button on navigation bar is not shown on iOS/iPadOS 26
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?

init(data: Data) for SwiftUI Image?
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
