hello, I have been receiving crash reports on iPadOS 26.1, When UITrackingElementWindowController viewDidDisappear The feedback associated with this post is: FB20986398 and Exception Exception 'Cannot remove an observer <PKTextEffectsWindowObserver 0x10854cbe0> for the key path "frame" from <UITextEffectsWindow 0x10827ca00> because it is not registered as an observer.' #1 0x0000000183529814 in objc_exception_throw () #2 0x00000001845065a4 in -[NSObject(NSKeyValueObserverRegistration) _removeObserver:forProperty:] () #3 0x00000001845069c8 in -[NSObject(NSKeyValueObserverRegistration) removeObserver:forKeyPath:] () #4 0x00000001845068e0 in -[NSObject(NSKeyValueObserverRegistration) removeObserver:forKeyPath:context:] () #5 0x00000001cb22e894 in -[PKTextEffectsWindowObserver dealloc] () #6 0x000000018beafb28 in _setInteractionView () #7 0x000000018d81e8b8 in -[UIView(Dragging) removeInteraction:] () #8 0x00000001cb216448 in -[PKTextInputInteraction willMoveToView:] () #9 0x000000018beafb1c in _setInteractionView () #10 0x000000018d81e8b8 in -[UIView(Dragging) removeInteraction:] () #11 0x000000018d5ab094 in -[UIEditingOverlayViewController _removeInteractions] () #12 0x000000018cb166a8 in -[UIViewController _setViewAppearState:isAnimating:] () #13 0x000000018cb16d70 in __52-[UIViewController _setViewAppearState:isAnimating:]_block_invoke_2 () #14 0x000000018cb16c10 in __52-[UIViewController _setViewAppearState:isAnimating:]_block_invoke () #15 0x000000018655ef78 in __NSARRAY_IS_CALLING_OUT_TO_A_BLOCK__ () #16 0x00000001866b4a24 in -[__NSArrayI enumerateObjectsWithOptions:usingBlock:] () #17 0x000000018cb16a44 in -[UIViewController _setViewAppearState:isAnimating:] () #18 0x000000018cb1753c in -[UIViewController __viewDidDisappear:] () #19 0x000000018cb17638 in -[UIViewController _endAppearanceTransition:] () #20 0x000000018ca2401c in __48-[UIPresentationController transitionDidFinish:]_block_invoke () #21 0x000000018ca23cd0 in -[UIPresentationController transitionDidFinish:] () #22 0x000000018ca2d720 in -[_UICurrentContextPresentationController transitionDidFinish:] () #23 0x000000018ca27608 in __77-[UIPresentationController runTransitionForCurrentStateAnimated:handoffData:]_block_invoke.106 () #24 0x000000018cb31fec in -[_UIViewControllerTransitionContext completeTransition:] () #25 0x000000018d7f09bc in -[UITransitionView notifyDidCompleteTransition:] () #26 0x000000018d7f0750 in -[UITransitionView _didCompleteTransition:] () #27 0x000000018bf1c2a4 in __UIVIEW_IS_EXECUTING_ANIMATION_COMPLETION_BLOCK__ () #28 0x000000018d817960 in -[UIViewAnimationBlockDelegate _didEndBlockAnimation:finished:context:] () #29 0x000000018d7f7168 in -[UIViewAnimationState sendDelegateAnimationDidStop:finished:] () #30 0x000000018d7f75cc in -[UIViewAnimationState animationDidStop:finished:] () #31 0x000000018d7f763c in -[UIViewAnimationState animationDidStop:finished:] () #32 0x0000000186fedda4 in run_animation_callbacks () #33 0x000000010365e2d0 in _dispatch_client_callout () #34 0x000000010367f4c0 in _dispatch_main_queue_drain.cold.5 () #35 0x0000000103654778 in _dispatch_main_queue_drain () #36 0x00000001036546b4 in _dispatch_main_queue_callback_4CF () #37 0x00000001865b42c8 in __CFRUNLOOP_IS_SERVICING_THE_MAIN_DISPATCH_QUEUE__ () #38 0x0000000186567b3c in __CFRunLoopRun () #39 0x0000000186566a6c in _CFRunLoopRunSpecificWithOptions () #40 0x0000000226ee5498 in GSEventRunModal () #41 0x000000018bf2aba4 in -[UIApplication _run] () #42 0x000000018bed3a78 in UIApplicationMain ()

What works let backButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "", style: .plain, target: nil, action: nil) backButton.hidesSharedBackground = true self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = backButton // or self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = backButton What doesn't work let backButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "", style: .plain, target: nil, action: nil) backButton.hidesSharedBackground = true self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem = backButton I've tried setting this property on all possible permutations and combinations e.g. Inside navigationController(_ navigationController: UINavigationController, willShow viewController: UIViewController, animated: Bool) and pushViewController(_ viewController: UIViewController, animated: Bool) of a custom UINavigationController to make sure. Expected vs Actual behavior Setting hidesSharedBackground = true should remove the glass background from both regular bar button items and back bar button items but it has no effect on backBarButtonItem. Additional context I’m aware of the UIDesignRequiresCompatibility Info.plist key, but I’m looking for a programmatic solution if there is one. The goal is to remove the glass background from back buttons.

In SwiftUI, when using NavigationStack with a path binding containing multiple instances of the same (or many with navigationPath()) model type (since model type are class type, this issue might occur on instances of class type too), any NavigationLink in a detail view that leads to a value already present anywhere in the navigation stack (which is in the path binding) will appear incorrectly highlighted upon the view's initial appearance. This bug seems manifests specifically when the links are contained within a List. The highlighting is inconsistent - only the earliest appended value in path has link in each section displays as pressed, while links to other value appear normal. Below is a simple code to reproduce the bug. import SwiftUI import SwiftData // Simple model @available(iOS 17, *) @Model class Item { var id = UUID() var name: String var relatedItems: [Item] init(name: String = "", relatedItems: [Item] = []) { self.name = name self.relatedItems = relatedItems } } // MARK: - Bug Reproducer @available(iOS 17, *) struct BugReproducerView: View { @State private var path: [Item] = [] let items: [Item] init() { let item1 = Item(name: "Item 1", relatedItems: []) let item2 = Item(name: "Item 2", relatedItems: [item1]) item1.relatedItems = [item2] self.items = [item1, item2] } var body: some View { NavigationStack(path: $path) { List(items) { item in NavigationLink(item.name, value: item) } .navigationTitle("Items") .navigationDestination(for: Item.self) { item in DetailView(item: item) } } } } // MARK: - Detail View with Bug @available(iOS 17, *) struct DetailView: View { let item: Item var body: some View { List { Section("Info") { Text("Selected: \(item.name)") } if !item.relatedItems.isEmpty { Section("Related") { ForEach(item.relatedItems) { related in NavigationLink(related.name, value: related) } } } } .navigationTitle(item.name) } } #Preview { if #available(iOS 17, *) { BugReproducerView() } else { } }

Hi, I have two views in my view hierarchy searchButtonView and searchBarView. I am trying to fade out the searchButtonView while animating the change in the frame of searchBarView simultaneously within a UIView.animate block. However, when I run the app, the frame of searchBarView resizes correctly while the alpha of searchButtonView does not animate to 0 as expected. How can I fix this so that both view animate simultaneously? Please see my code below. Thank you class MovieTitlesViewController: UIViewController { override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() // Do any additional setup after loading the view. } var searchButtonView: UIView! var searchBarView: UIView! override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() { createSearchButtonView() createSearchBarView() } func createSearchButtonView() { searchButtonView = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 23, y: view.safeAreaInsets.top, width: 48, height: 48)) let searchImageView = UIImageView(image: UIImage(named: "Search Icon")!) searchImageView.frame = CGRect(x: searchButtonView.frame.width / 2 - 16, y: searchButtonView.frame.height / 2 - 16, width: 32, height: 32) searchButtonView.addSubview(searchImageView) searchButtonView.backgroundColor = .blue searchButtonView.layer.cornerRadius = 24 searchButtonView.layer.borderColor = UIColor.gray.cgColor searchButtonView.layer.borderWidth = 0.5 let tapGesture = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(tappedSearchView)) tapGesture.numberOfTapsRequired = 1 searchButtonView.addGestureRecognizer(tapGesture) searchButtonView.isUserInteractionEnabled = true view.addSubview(searchButtonView) } func createSearchBarView() { searchBarView = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 23, y: view.safeAreaInsets.top, width: 0, height: 48)) searchBarView.backgroundColor = .red // searchBarView.backgroundColor = UIColor(red: 217/255, green: 217/255, blue: 217/255, alpha: 1.0) searchBarView.layer.cornerRadius = 24 searchBarView.layer.borderColor = UIColor.gray.cgColor searchBarView.layer.borderWidth = 0.5 view.addSubview(searchBarView) } func animateExpandSearchView() { UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.25, delay: 0.0, options: .curveEaseInOut) { self.searchButtonView.alpha = 0.0 self.searchBarView.frame = CGRect(x: 23, y: self.view.safeAreaInsets.top, width: UIScreen.main.bounds.width - 46, height: 48) } } @objc func tappedSearchView() { print("tapped search view") animateExpandSearchView() } }

For the CountdownDuration initializer, since passing nil to both parameters of public init(preAlert: TimeInterval?, postAlert: TimeInterval?) is not considered valid, shouldn't the function signature be changed to be two separate inits, instead of a runtime error. EX: public init(preAlert: TimeInterval, postAlert: TimeInterval?) public init(preAlert: TimeInterval?, postAlert: TimeInterval)

In this Mac App, I have an IBOutlet (which is defined as instance of a subclass of NSView). When I connect the IBOutlet to the code, referencing as file's owner, it works OK. But if I reference to the class, it crashes, when I access a specific IBOutlet (but other IBOutlets are accessed just before it without crashing).. The IBOutlet turnPageControl is defined as instance of subclass of NSView. Note: I have implemented several init methods: override init(window: NSWindow!) { } required init?(coder: (NSCoder?)) { } // Yes, (NSCoder?) convenience init(parameters) { // loading from nib } override func windowDidLoad() { super.windowDidLoad() // Access turnpageControl I get those calls before crash: init(window:) init(parameters:) init(window:) windowDidLoad() -> crash inside on accessing the IBOutlet for turnPageControl.isHidden = true Is there any reason to this ?

Environment: Xcode 26.2 Simulator: 26.0 / iPhone 17 Summary: Assigning a specific Unicode string to a UILabel (or any UITextView / text component backed by CoreText) causes an immediate crash. The string contains a visible base character followed by a zero-width non-joiner and two combining marks. let label = UILabel() label.text = "\u{274D}\u{200C}\u{1CD7}\u{20DB}" // ^ Crash in CoreText during text layout Crash stack trace: The crash occurs inside CoreText's glyph layout/shaping pipeline. The combining marks U+1CD7 and U+20DB appear to stack on the ZWNJ (which has no visible glyph), causing CoreText to fail during run shaping or bounding box calculation. Questions: Is this a known CoreText regression in the iOS 26.0 simulator? Is there a recommended fix or a more targeted workaround beyond stripping zero-width Unicode characters? Will this be addressed in an upcoming update

Hi, everyone. I'm trying my first TimelineView with an explicit schedule, but my attempt – and even the simple example from the documentation – doesn't seem to work as documented. Here's what the documentation says an explicit schedule does: The timeline view updates its content on exactly the dates that you specify, until it runs out of dates, after which it stops changing. And it gives this example: let dates = [ Date(timeIntervalSinceNow: 10), // Update ten seconds from now, Date(timeIntervalSinceNow: 12), // and a few seconds later. ] struct MyView: View { var body: some View { TimelineView(.explicit(dates)) { context in Text(context.date.description) } } } There are stipulations about what the view – which always displays some version of its content body – will do given only past or future dates, but it seems clear we should expect the view in this example to redraw at least once after it appears. Here's the rest of the discussion from the documentation with my comments after testing what's stated: If the dates you provide are in the past, the timeline view updates exactly once with the last entry. That seems true, considering the "update" to be the initial draw. If you only provide dates in the future, the timeline view renders with the current date until the first date arrives. Not exactly: it looks the "date" property of the initial render is the (future) date of the first schedule entry, even though it's drawn early. When the first date does arrive, the body closure doesn't seem to be called. Only on the next date, if there is one, is it called again. If you provide one or more dates in the past and one or more in the future, the view renders the most recent past date, refreshing normally on all subsequent dates. That also seems correct, except… … that in every scenario, the final date entry seems to be ignored completely! In other words, unless all date entries are in the past, the Timeline View stops before it runs out of dates. That documented example from the start, which we expect to redraw at least once after it appears? When I test it in a Playground, it appears, but doesn't redraw at all! So, that's my main point of confusion after experimenting with TimelineView for the first time. I can achieve my own goal by appending an extra entry to my explicit schedule – even appending an entry identical to the previous "final" entry seems to work – but naturally that leaves me unclear about why I need to. If anyone can tell me what I'm not understanding, I'd be grateful.

1ada58e6-51b3-4cc5-98a3-31c8d1597de5.crash We are experiencing a segmentation fault crash when running our tests on AWS Device Farm. This crash only happens on iOS 18 and does not happen on iOS 26 also running on device farm. We have not been able to replicate this crash locally and we have not seen this in any of our production app usage. It appears there is some memory corruption going on and the trace always seems to crash inside Apple's UIKit code with -[UIImageSymbolConfiguration _initWithTraitCollection:]. I also see the following in the logs from CI: [TraitCollection] Class CKBrowserSwitcherViewController overrides the -traitCollection getter, which is not supported. If you're trying to override traits, you must use the appropriate API. We are not overriding traitCollection getter anywhere in our code and we have no usage of CKBrowserSwitcherViewController either. This crash happens when trying to go through the login flow to our app when KIF hits the login button. I have tried debugging with Zombies and the memory graph debugger but nothing is sticking out as to what would be causing this issue. When running locally with Zombies I do not get any memory warnings going through our login flow. Could this be a bug inside of UIKit on iOS18 which is getting exposed due to timing on AWS? Any help with next debugging steps would be appreciated.

There appears to be a bug in Link with IPv4 addresses with padding in the second octet, on macOS and iOS both. struct LinkViewBug: View { let works = URL(string: "http://172.16.1.1")! let alsoWorks = URL(string: "http://172.16.001.001")! let doesntWork = URL(string: "http://172.016.001.001")! let alsoDoesntWork = URL(string: "http://172.016.1.1")! var body: some View { // destination -> http://172.16.1.1 Link(works.formatted(), destination: works) Link(alsoWorks.formatted(), destination: alsoWorks) // destination -> http://172.14.1.1 ? Link(doesntWork.formatted(), destination: doesntWork) Link(alsoDoesntWork.formatted(), destination: alsoDoesntWork) } }

In macOS 26, there is a new property on NSControl called .borderShape. The WWDC 2025-310 video says it can be used to "Override preferred shape of control to suit your design." and that it's available on NSButton, NSPopUpButton and NSSegmentedControl. Is there an equivalent to that property for SwiftUI? For example, given the following SwiftUI code: Button("Eject") { } .borderShape(...) <-- ? How can I apply a .borderShape that would match those on controls created in AppKit? I'm aware that SwiftUI offers a plethora of ways to custom design a button such that it can have rounded corners, but I'm interested in this particular property so that SwiftUI buttons and AppKit buttons in the same app have the same look-and-feel.

On macOS 26.3, Xcode 26.3, why does a labelStyle of titleAndIcon not show both the title and the icon of a label? The label styles iconOnly and titleOnly behave as expected. Picker("Label Demo", selection: $selectedItem) { Label { Text("File") } icon: { Image(systemName: "doc") } Label { Text("Folder") } icon: { Image(systemName: "folder") } } .labelStyle(.titleAndIcon) .pickerStyle(.segmented) Note that there is no icon shown. Placing the .labelStyle modifier in different places has no effect. The icon is correctly shown when the labelStyle is set to .iconOnly. An NSSegmentedControl created with AppKit and presented in an NSViewRepresentable does correctly show titles and icons if configured appropriately. Tested on: macOS 26.3 (25D125) Xcode 26.3 (17C519) A brand new SwiftUI "macOS App" project.

I have three custom UIButton instances inside a custom UIView subclass (not inside a UINavigationBar, UIToolbar, or UITabBar). I want to apply UIGlassEffect with interactive = YES to each button so they get the native liquid glass press animation. The problem is that the UIVisualEffectView containing the effect either: Has userInteractionEnabled = YES — glass animation works but the button's IBAction never fires Has userInteractionEnabled = NO — IBAction fires but no glass animation How can I have both the native interactive glass animation and the button action firing on the same button? Is this possible with the public API, or is the interactive glass animation on custom buttons simply not supported outside of standard UIKit controls?

Hi, In Apple Music on CarPlay, there is a Search button shown next to the Now Playing (NPS) button in the top navigation bar. Tapping this Search button activates Siri voice search. I want to understand: Does CarPlay allow third-party audio apps to add a similar Search button in the top bar (next to the Now Playing button)? Which can be used to trigger Siri from the screen UI (not steering-wheel button or “Hey Siri”)? Is there any supported approach for screen-based Siri activation other than the guidance here: https://aninterestingwebsite.com/documentation/carplay/cplisttemplate#Integrating-Siri-Into-Your-Template-App Basically, is the Apple Music search/Siri button a publicly available CarPlay capability, or is it system-reserved?

My app is a UIKit app with a lot of SwiftUI mixed in. A common scenario is that a UIViewController presents a sheet with a SwiftUI view wrapped in a UIHostingController. When I present the exact same SwiftUI View it looks different in a SwiftUI sheet compared to when it's wrapped in a UIHostingController and presented from a view controller. I'm using a hacky workaround in which I loop through all subviews of the hosting controller in viewWillLayoutSubviews and look for a NavigationStackHostingController<SwiftUI.AnyView> to manually set the background color, but it feels like it could brake easily. Has anyone found a better way to fix this? Feedback: FB22028838

To display rows and columns of data in a nice layout like a spreadsheet I use a table like the code here .. Table(array) { TableColumn("Ticker", value: \\.ticker) TableColumn("Other", value: \.other) } To delete a row from the table the advice is to use a ForEach loop. Since I don’t use a ForEach loop, how do I delete rows from the table ? With this code there is no way to attach a .onDelete modifier or a Button Any advice would be much appreciated Thank you

I reported Korean IME bug to QT Bug report. Please refer to below link. https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-136128?jql=text%20~%20korean%20ORDER%20BY%20created%20DESC But, QT reponsed me like follwing. Thank you for reporting. However, this issue seems like a known issue with apple's Korean IME. There are many threads in Korean community about the same problem with Non-Qt apps. If this issue is a really Qt issue, feel free to open it again. Is there any workaround to fix this IME bug ? Thanks, Ted

My application provides a unique feature for MacOS 26+ users, while keeping legacy for other versions (12.4+). So I aim to provide two help books localized package, depending on MacOS' version of the running computer. I designed two help bundles, with their own Info.plist files (identifiers, default filename…) and I've made multiple checks to verify that all their settings are correct and different when needed. As an app's info.plist can deal only with one Help Book, my application delegate registers both in applicationDidFinishLaunching: using: [[NSHelpManager sharedHelpManager] registerBooksInBundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]]; In Interface Builder, the help menu item is connected to the application delegate's "showHelp:" method to set the correct help package. The code in this method is: if (@available(macOS 26.0,*)){ helpbook = @"fr.myapp.updated.help"; } else { helpbook = @"fr.myapp.legacy.help"; } [[NSHelpManager sharedHelpManager] openHelpAnchor:@"index" inBook:helpbook]; The problem is that despite the MacOS version of the user's Mac, (either 15.1 or 26.2) , the «legacy» helpbook is always used. All default index.html (for each lproj) have a tag immediately after the I spent dozen of hours to understand the problem, forum parsing, including hours long dialogs with ChatGPT and Claude AIs (not mentioning MacOS' help system cache problems I could solve) I noticed also, to be complete, that when parsing the application package, opening the legacy .help with "Tips.app" always works, but with the "updated" one the help system opens with an "unavailable content" message. Both help bundles are fully included in the built application. Tested whether the app is installed in the debug directory, moved to in the Applications one, reboot, emptying/deleting cache files. So Houston, I have a problem… Any idea?

When making an element with .glassEffect(.clear.interactive()) draggable, it stretches as it moves. It seems like it's meant to stretch as you move your finger away from the element, but it doesn't make sense if the element is following your finger as you drag it. Is this a bug, or is there a way to disable this behavior without removing the other "interactive" animations? P.S. The shiny border around the elements seems to be a rounded rectangle or capsule, but the actual element's shape seems to be stretched. That also appears to be a bug.

I'm building a macOS app that uses WKWebView for text editing (not NSTextView). I need to provide grammar checking by calling NSSpellChecker programmatically and sending results back to the web editor. The problem: TextEdit (which uses NSTextView) catches grammar errors like "Can I has pie?" and "These are have" — but when I call NSSpellChecker's APIs directly, those same errors are never flagged. I've tried both APIs: 1. The unified check() API: let results = checker.check( text, range: range, types: NSTextCheckingAllTypes, options: [:], inSpellDocumentWithTag: tag, orthography: &orthography, wordCount: &wordCount) This returns only .orthography results (language detection). No .spelling, no .grammar — just orthography. 2. The dedicated checkGrammar(of:startingAt:...) API: let sentenceRange = checker.checkGrammar( of: text, startingAt: offset, language: nil, wrap: false, inSpellDocumentWithTag: tag, details: &details) This catches sentence fragments ("The.", "No.") and some agreement errors ("The is anyone.") but misses "Can I has pie?", "These are have", "This will be happened", and other subject-verb agreement errors that TextEdit highlights. What I've confirmed: "Check Grammar With Spelling" is enabled in System Settings TextEdit reliably catches all these errors with green underlines Both APIs are called with a valid spellDocumentTag from uniqueSpellDocumentTag() The text is passed as plain strings (no attributed string context) My question: How does NSTextView's grammar checking work internally? It must be using something beyond these two public APIs. Possibilities I'm considering: Does NSTextView use the NSTextCheckingClient protocol / requestChecking(of:range:types:options:) for asynchronous checking that produces different results? Does NSTextView provide additional context (attributed string, layout info) that improves grammar detection? Is there a private/undocumented API or framework that NSTextView uses for deeper grammar analysis? Any insight from anyone who has implemented programmatic grammar checking on macOS would be appreciated. NOTE: This post was composed with the help of Claude Code, which I am using to help write a word-processing application, but I am frustrated because Claude Code wants to give up and switch to a 3rd party grammar checker, like LanguageTool, and it seems to me that it should be possible to use native Apple tools to achieve this goal without requiring the user to send their data elsewhere for checking. I've spent a lot of time searching the web for answers and have found surprisingly little on this. Any pointers people might have would be very much appreciated! Thanks.
