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?

In iPadOS 26, Apple introduced macOS-style window control buttons (close, minimize, fullscreen) for iPad apps running in a floating window. I'm working on a custom toolbar (UIView) positioned near the top of the window, and I'd like to avoid overlapping with these new controls. However, I haven't found any public API that exposes the frame, layout margins, or safe area insets related to this new UI region. I've checked the window's safeAreaInsets, additionalSafeAreaInsets, and UIWindowSceneDelegate APIs, but none of them seem to reflect the area occupied by these buttons. Is there an officially supported way to: Get the layout information (frame, insets, or margins) of the window control buttons on iPadOS 26? Or, is there a system-defined guideline or padding value we should use to avoid overlapping this new UI? Any clarification or guidance would be appreciated!

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

How does one know the fitting width of a UIDatePicker in a selector hooked up with UIControlEventValueChanged? By fitting width, I mean the width of the grey background rounded box displayed with the date -- I need to get the width of that whenever the date is changed.

My app supports different plain text file formats, including the standard .txt and Markdown. When creating a new document, my app already asks which format it should have, so when saving it, I would expect that the save panel already selects that format in the popup button, but currently it always selects "Plain Text". For example, I would expect for a Markdown document that it selects "Markdown" instead of "Plain Text". Is there a way to force it to select the most specific format matching the document format?

On iPadOS 26 beta, the navigation bar can appear inset underneath the status bar (FB18241928) This bug does not happen on iOS 18. This bug occurs when a full screen modal view controller without a status bar is presented, the device orientation changes, and then the full screen modal view controller is dismissed. This bug appears to happen only on iPad, and not on iPhone. This bug happens both in the simulator and on the device. Thank you for investigating this issue.

Overview In iOS 26, a List embedded in a NavigationStack inside a TabView exhibits a visual glitch when switching tabs. When the list is scrolled such that some rows are partially obscured by the navigation bar, the system correctly applies a fade/opacity effect to those rows. However, if the user switches to another tab while rows are in this partially obscured (faded) state, those rows briefly flash at full opacity during the tab transition before disappearing. This flash is visually distracting and appears to be inconsistent with the intended scroll-edge opacity behavior. The issue occurs only for rows partially obscured by the navigation bar. Rows partially obscured by the tab bar do not exhibit this flashing behavior. Steps to Reproduce: Run the attached minimal reproduction on iOS 26. Open the first tab. Scroll the list so that some rows are partially hidden behind the navigation bar (showing the native faded appearance). While rows are in this partially faded state, switch to the second tab. Observe that the faded rows briefly render fully opaque during the tab switch. Expected Behavior: Rows that are partially obscured by the navigation bar should maintain consistent opacity behavior during tab transitions, without flashing to full opacity. import SwiftUI @main struct NavBarReproApp: App { /// Minimal repro for iOS 26: /// - TabView with two tabs /// - First tab: NavigationStack + List /// - Scroll so some rows are partially behind the nav bar (faded) /// - Switch tabs: those partially-faded rows briefly flash fully opaque. Partially faded rows under the tab bar do not flash private let items = Array(0..<200).map { "Row \($0)" } var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { TabView { NavigationStack { List { ForEach(items, id: \.self) { item in Text(item) } } .navigationTitle("One") .navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.inline) } .tabItem { Label("One", systemImage: "1.circle") } NavigationStack { Text("Second tab") .navigationTitle("Two") .navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.inline) } .tabItem { Label("Two", systemImage: "2.circle") } } } } }

I have a game app for iOS and iPadOS, which expects a full screen experience. I'd like to out of window resizing in iPadOS 26 as it negatively impacts the UI/UX of the app. I have UIRequiresFullScreen defined, but it doesn't seem to actually force full screen on iPadOS 26 anymore.

I have a UIHostingController on which I have set: hostingController.sizingOptions = [.intrinsicContentSize] The size of my SwiftUI content changes with animation (I update a @Published property on an ObservableObject inside a withAnimation block). However, I notice that my hostingController.view just jumps to the new frame without animating the change. Question: how can I animate the frame changes in UIHostingController that are caused by sizingOptions = [.intrinsicContentSize]

Hi. The following code causes UI mismatch on iOS26. Keyboard with type decimalPad and appearance as dark is displayed as popUp with wrong colors. Before iOS26 keyboard was regular with correct color scheme. Please advice either how to make the scheme correct or force to display regular keyboard instead of popup. class ViewController: UIViewController { @IBOutlet weak var textField: UITextField! override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() // Do any additional setup after loading the view. textField.keyboardType = .decimalPad textField.keyboardAppearance = .dark view.backgroundColor = .darkGray } }

Issue Description I'm experiencing a bizarre SwiftUI state update issue that only occurs in Xcode development environment (both Canvas preview and device debugging), but does not occur in production builds downloaded from App Store. Symptom: User taps a button that modifies a @State variable inside a .sheet Console logs confirm the state HAS changed But the UI does not update to reflect the new state Switching to another file in Xcode and back to ContentView instantly fixes the issue The production build (same code) works perfectly fine Environment Xcode: 16F6 (17C52) iOS: 26.2 (testing on iPhone 13) macOS: 25.1.0 (Sequoia) SwiftUI Target: iOS 15.6+ Issue: Present in both Xcode Canvas and on-device debugging Production: Same code works correctly in App Store build (version 1.3.2) Code Structure Parent View (ContentView.swift) struct ContentView: View { @State private var selectedSound: SoundTheme = .none @State private var showSoundSheet = false var body: some View { VStack { // Display button shows current selection SettingButton( title: "Background Sound", value: getLocalizedSoundName(selectedSound) // ← Not updating ) { showSoundSheet = true } } .sheet(isPresented: $showSoundSheet) { soundSelectionView } } private var soundSelectionView: some View { ForEach(SoundTheme.allCases) { sound in Button { selectedSound = sound // ← State DOES change (confirmed in console) // Audio starts playing correctly audioManager.startAmbientSound(sound) } label: { Text(sound.name) } } } private func getLocalizedSoundName(_ sound: SoundTheme) -> String { // Returns localized name return sound.localizedName }} What I've Tried Attempt 1: Adding .id() modifier SettingButton(...) .id(selectedSound) // Force re-render when state changes Result: No effect Attempt 2: Moving state modification outside withAnimation // Before (had animation wrapper):withAnimation { selectedSound = sound}// After (removed animation):selectedSound = sound Result: No effect Attempt 3: Adding debug print() statements selectedSound = soundprint("State changed: (selectedSound)") // ← Adding this line FIXES the issue! Result: Mysteriously fixes the issue! But removing print() breaks it again. This suggests a timing/synchronization issue in Xcode's preview system. Observations What works: ✅ Console logs confirm state changes correctly ✅ Switching files in Xcode triggers view reconstruction → everything works ✅ Production build from App Store works perfectly ✅ Adding print() statements "fixes" it (likely changes execution timing) What doesn't work: ❌ Initial file load in Xcode ❌ Hot reload / incremental updates ❌ Both Canvas preview and on-device debugging Workaround that works: Click another file in Xcode Click back to ContentView.swift Everything works normally Key Question Is this a known issue with Xcode 16's SwiftUI preview/hot reload system? The fact that: Same exact code works in production Adding print() "fixes" it File switching triggers reconstruction that fixes it ...all suggest this is an Xcode tooling issue, not a code bug. However, it makes development extremely difficult as I can't reliably test changes without constantly switching files or killing the app. What I'm Looking For Confirmation: Is this a known Xcode 16 issue? Workaround: Any better solution than constantly switching files? Root cause: What's causing this state update timing issue? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

I am struggling to change the tint of the back button in an UINavigationItem. In iOS 18.6 it looks like this while on iOS 26 the same looks like this I can live without the Dictionary but I'd like to get the blue color back. In viewDidLoad() I have tried navigationItem.backBarButtonItem?.tintColor = .link but this did not work since navigationItem.backBarButtonItem is nil. My second attempt was navigationController?.navigationBar.tintColor = .link but this didn't work either. I have even set the Global Tint to Link Color but this had no effect either. Does anyone have an idea how to change the tint of the back button in an UINavigationItem on iOS 26?

Hi everyone, I’m facing an issue with touch handling on newer iOS versions. I have a custom view controller implemented in Objective-C that overrides touchesEnded:. The same code works correctly on iOS 18, but on newer iOS versions (tested on iOS 26), touchesEnded: is no longer being triggered. Important observations: touchesBegan: is triggered. touchesEnded: is NOT triggered. touchesCancelled: is also NOT triggered. No code changes were made between iOS 18 and iOS 26. Same code, same sample works fine in iOS18 device but not in iOS26 device Questions: Has gesture arbitration behavior changed in recent iOS 26 versions when views are inside UIScrollView? Any clarification on whether this is intended behavior or a regression would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

We have submitted a feedback for this issue: FB21230723 We're building a note-taking app for iOS and macOS that uses both UITextView and NSTextView. When performing text input that involves a marked range (such as Japanese input) in a UITextView or NSTextView with a UITextViewDelegate or NSTextViewDelegate set, the text view's marked range (markedTextRange / markedRange()) has not yet been updated at the moment when shouldChangeTextIn is invoked. UITextViewDelegate.textView(_:shouldChangeTextIn:replacementText:) NSTextViewDelegate.textView(_:shouldChangeTextIn:replacementString:) The current behavior is this when entering text in Japanese: (same for NSTextView) func textView(_ textView: UITextView, shouldChangeTextIn range: NSRange, replacementText text: String) -> Bool { print(textView.markedTextRange != nil) // prints out false DispatchQueue.main.async { print(textView.markedTextRange != nil) // prints out true } } However, we need the value of markedTextRange right away in order to determine whether to return true or false from this method. Is there any workaround for this issue?

We have crash reports as shown below that we haven't yet been able to repro and could use some help deubgging. My guess is that the app is giving a label or text view an attributed string with an invalid attribute range, but attributed strings are used in many places throughout the app, and I don't know an efficient way to track this down. I'm posting the stack trace here in hopes that someone more familiar with the internals of the system frameworks mentioned will be able to provide a clue to help narrow where I should look.

With iOS 26.1 we started seeing a bug that only appears on iPhone Air. This bug is visible with simulators too. I have tried so many different ways to fix the issue, but Instruments Profiler is pointing at UIKitCore. We load a tab bar, when the user attempts to switch a tab, the app hangs and never recovers. It happens right as the animation of the Glass bubble is in progress. I have tried a UIKit Tab bar, a SwiftUI Tab bar. I tore out AppDelegate and did a direct @main SwiftUI entry for my application. This issue appears with every tab bar instance I try. I attempted to disable LiquidGlass by utilizing this flag UIDesignRequiresCompatibility in my plist, but the flag seems to be ignored by the system. I am not sure what else to try. I have a trace file if that is helpful. What else can I upload? Here is what the code looks like. struct ContentView: View { @State private var selectedTab = 2 var body: some View { TabView(selection: $selectedTab) { Text("Profile") .tabItem { Label("Me", systemImage: "person") } .tag(0) Text("Training") .tabItem { Label("Training", systemImage: "calendar") } .tag(1) Text("Home") .tabItem { Label("Home", systemImage: "house") } .tag(2) Text("Goals") .tabItem { Label("Goals", systemImage: "target") } .tag(3) Text("Coach") .tabItem { Label("Coach", systemImage: "person.2") } .tag(4) } } } #Preview { ContentView() } and AppView entry point import SwiftUI @main struct RunCoachApp: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() } } }

Any view that is content for the tabViewBottomAccessory API fails to retain its state as of the last couple of 26.1 betas (and RC). The loss of state happens (at least) when the currently selected tab is switched (filed as FB20901325). Here's code to reproduce the issue: struct ContentView: View { @State private var selectedTab = TabSelection.one enum TabSelection: Hashable { case one, two } var body: some View { TabView(selection: $selectedTab) { Tab("One", systemImage: "1.circle", value: .one) { BugExplanationView() } Tab("Two", systemImage: "2.circle", value: .two) { BugExplanationView() } } .tabViewBottomAccessory { AccessoryView() } } } struct AccessoryView: View { @State private var counter = 0 // This guy's state gets lost (as of iOS 26.1) var body: some View { Stepper("Counter: \(counter)", value: $counter) .padding(.horizontal) } } struct BugExplanationView: View { var body: some View { ScrollView { VStack(alignment: .leading, spacing: 16) { Text("(1) Manipulate the counter state") Text("(2) Then switch tabs") Text("BUG: The counter state gets unexpectedly reset!") } .multilineTextAlignment(.leading) } } }

The following repro case results in a previews crash on Xcode 26 beta 3 (report attached).

We're seeing a sharp uptick in BaseBoard/FrontBoardServices crashes since we migrated from UIApplicationDelegate to UIWindowSceneDelegate. Having exhausted everything on my end short of reverse engineering BaseBoard or making changes without being able to know if they work, I need help. I think all I need to get unstuck is an answer to these questions, if possible: What does -[BSSettings initWithSettings:] enumerate over? If I know what's being enumerated, I'll know what to look for in our app. What triggers FrontBoardServices to do this update? If I can reproduce the crash--or at least better understand when it may happen--I will be better able to fix it Here's two similar stack traces: App_(iOS)-crashreport-07-30-2025_1040-0600-redacted.crash App_(iOS)-crashreport-07-30-2025_1045-0600-redacted.crash Since these are private trameworks, there is no documentation or information on their behavior that I can find. There are other forum posts regarding this crash, on here and on other sites. However, I did not find any that shed any insight on the cause or conditions of the crash. Additionally, this is on iPhone, not macOS, and not iPad. This post is different, because I'm asking specific questions that can be answered by someone with familiarity on how these internal frameworks work. I'm not asking for help debugging my application, though I'd gladly take any suggestions/tips! Here's the long version, in case anyone finds it useful: In our application, we have seen a sharp rise in crashes in BaseBoard and FrontBoardServices, which are internal iOS frameworks, since we migrated our app to use UIWindowSceneDelegate. We were using exclusively UIApplicationDelegate before. The stack traces haven't proven very useful yet, because we haven't been able to reproduce the crashes ourselves. Upon searching online, we have learned that Baseboard/Frontsoardservices are probably copying scene settings upon something in the scene changing. Based on our crash reports, we know that most of our users are on an iPhone, not an iPad or macOS, so we can rule out split screen or window resizing. Our app is locked to portrait as well, so we can also rule out orientation changes. And considering the stack trace is in the middle of an objc_retain_x2 call, which is itself inside of a collection enumeration, we are assuming that whatever is being enumerated probably was changed or deallocated during enumeration. Sometimes it's objc_retain_x2, and sometimes it's a release call. And sometimes it's a completely different stack trace, but still within BaseBoard/FrontBoardServices. I suspect these all share the same cause. Because it's thread 0 that crashed, we know that BaseBoard/FrontBoardServices were running on the main thread, which means that for this crash to occur, something might be changing on a background thread. This is what leads me to suspect a race condition. There are many places in our app where we accidentally update the UI from a background thread. We've fixed many of them, but I'm sure there are more. Our app is large. Because of this, I think background UI are the most likely cause. However, since I can't reproduce the crash, and because none of our stack traces clearly show UI updates happening on another thread at the same time, I am not certain. And here's the stack trace inline, in case the attachments expire or search engines can't read them: Thread 0 name: Thread 0 Crashed: objc_retain_x2 (libobjc.A.dylib) BSIntegerMapEnumerateWithBlock (BaseBoard) -[BSSettings initWithSettings:] (BaseBoard) -[BSKeyedSettings initWithSettings:] (BaseBoard) -[FBSSettings _settings:] (FrontBoardServices) -[FBSSettings _settings] (FrontBoardServices) -[FBSSettingsDiff applyToMutableSettings:] (FrontBoardServices) -[FBSSettingsDiff settingsByApplyingToMutableCopyOfSettings:] (FrontBoardServices) -[FBSSceneSettingsDiff settingsByApplyingToMutableCopyOfSettings:] (FrontBoardServices) -[FBSScene updater:didUpdateSettings:withDiff:transitionContext:completion:] (FrontBoardServices) __94-[FBSWorkspaceScenesClient _queue_updateScene:withSettings:diff:transitionContext:completion:]_block_invoke_2 (FrontBoardServices) -[FBSWorkspace _calloutQueue_executeCalloutFromSource:withBlock:] (FrontBoardServices) __94-[FBSWorkspaceScenesClient _queue_updateScene:withSettings:diff:transitionContext:completion:]_block_invoke.cold.1 (FrontBoardServices) __94-[FBSWorkspaceScenesClient _queue_updateScene:withSettings:diff:transitionContext:completion:]_block_invoke (FrontBoardServices) _dispatch_client_callout (libdispatch.dylib) _dispatch_block_invoke_direct (libdispatch.dylib) __FBSSERIALQUEUE_IS_CALLING_OUT_TO_A_BLOCK__ (FrontBoardServices) -[FBSMainRunLoopSerialQueue _targetQueue_performNextIfPossible] (FrontBoardServices) -[FBSMainRunLoopSerialQueue _performNextFromRunLoopSource] (FrontBoardServices) __CFRUNLOOP_IS_CALLING_OUT_TO_A_SOURCE0_PERFORM_FUNCTION__ (CoreFoundation) __CFRunLoopDoSource0 (CoreFoundation) __CFRunLoopDoSources0 (CoreFoundation) __CFRunLoopRun (CoreFoundation) CFRunLoopRunSpecific (CoreFoundation) GSEventRunModal (GraphicsServices) -[UIApplication _run] (UIKitCore) UIApplicationMain (UIKitCore) (null) (UIKitCore) main (AppDelegate.swift:0) 0x1ab8cbf08 + 0
