We recently adopted our app to Liquid Glass and received a complaint from a visually impaired user that VoiceOver does not read out the number of unread items in the tab bar anymore. We checked and it seems that before iOS 26/Liquid Glass, setting a tab bar item's badgeValue property also set an appropriate text to its accessibilityValue property (something like "3 items"). But with Liquid Glass tab bars, this does not seem to be the case anymore. We fixed this by providing our own accessibility value, but we're wondering whether this change was a deliberate choice or simply a bug? If this new behavior is considered a bug, I would post a bug report.

In Swift, iOS, I have a pdf file. I want to take the pages 2 by 2 and put them side by side, on the new page. For this, I have to scale initial pages half size and rotate .pi/2. I managed to achieve this by converting pdf pages to UIImages and using a UIGraphicsImageRenderer. But with a critical loss of resolution. I've tried improving the resolution by creating images as jpegData(withCompressionQuality: 1.0), to no avail. So I would need to work directly on the pdf pages using CGPDFDocument format. The code structure is as follows, to insert a single scaled page: for iPage in … { if let _page = theCGPdfDocument.page(at: 1) { var _pageRect: CGRect = _page.getBoxRect(CGPDFBox.mediaBox) writeContextInDestination!.beginPage(mediaBox: &_pageRect) // translate to compensate for the flip caused displacement writeContextInDestination!.translateBy(x: _pageRect.size.width, y: _pageRect.size.height) Scale (-1, -1) // rotate 180° // add rotate as needed writeContextInDestination!.scaleBy(x: -1, y: -1) writeContextInDestination!.clip(to: _pageRect) writeContextInDestination!.drawPDFPage(_page) writeContextInDestination!.endPage() // end the current page } } writeContextInDestination!.closePDF() But I do not succeed in inserting the drawing of the second page. I've tried repeating lines 7 to 11 for a second page at line 13. No success. What is the direction to look for ?

Hello, I have a collection view that uses a diffable data source, and I am initiating an API call while configuring a cell RuntimeCell in the cell registration block inside setupDataSource(). The cell has a runtimeLabel property whose text I am setting inside a configureLabel(movieId:) function. I noticed that the collection view does not automatically refresh the text label once this API call finishes and after setting the text property on a UILabel in the collection view cell to a value retrieved during the API call. I presume this is because I need to call dataSource.apply(snapshot) myself to reload the changes in the collection view after the API call finishes retrieving the runtime data. However, since the API call happens via the configuration of the cell in the cell registration closure, this API call ends up being called infinitely if I call dataSource.apply(snapshot) every time the API call finishes (i.e. calling dataSource.applySnapshot() calls the closure for the cell registration handler which re-triggers the API call). What is the correct architecture to apply to accomplish reloading the collection view so that the text label appears once the API finishes calling? Thank you class MovieDetailViewController: UIViewController { func setupDataSource() { // ... let runTimeCellRegistration = UICollectionView.CellRegistration<RuntimeCell, Item> { cell, indexPath, item in cell.runtimeLabelDelegate = self cell.configureLabel(movieId: self.selectedMovie.id) } dataSource = UICollectionViewDiffableDataSource(collectionView: collectionView, cellProvider: { collectionView, indexPath, itemIdentifier in let section = Section(rawValue: indexPath.section) switch section { //... case .runtime: return collectionView.dequeueConfiguredReusableCell(using: runTimeCellRegistration, for: indexPath, item: itemIdentifier) //... } return nil }) } } protocol RuntimeLabelCellDelegate: AnyObject { func didUpdateRuntime() } class RuntimeCell: UICollectionViewCell { var runtimeLabel: UILabel! //... UI Setup func configureLabel(movieId: Int) { Task { do { let details = try await movieSearchService.fetchMovieDetails(movieId: movieId) await MainActor.run { let minutes = details.runTime let durationText = "\(minutes)m" var emojiText = "" if minutes < 90 { emojiText = "Short & Sweet ⚡️" } else if minutes > 150 { emojiText = "Get the snacks ready 🍿" } runtimeLabel.text = emojiText.isEmpty ? durationText : "\(durationText) • \(emojiText)" runtimeLabelDelegate?.didUpdateRuntime() } } catch { print("Failed to load details: \(error)") } } } } extension MovieDetailViewController: RuntimeLabelCellDelegate { func didUpdateRuntime() { var snapshot = dataSource.snapshot() snapshot.appendItems([.runtime], toSection: .runtime) dataSource.apply(snapshot, animatingDifferences: true) } }

I set the value of NSURLHasHiddenExtensionKey. I provide a textfield to rename a file and I set this flag based on whether the user has deleted or left on the path extension. So -setResourceValue:forKey:error: returns YES, does not populate the error, but does not honor the value I just set it to. I'm always setting it off the main thread on the same serial queue. Works the first time I rename the file then it just starts failing (silently). For example: NSError *setError = nil; if ([theURL setResourceValue:@(NO) forKey:NSURLHasHiddenExtensionKey error:&setError]) { [theURL removeAllCachedResourceValues]; NSNumber *freshRead = nil; NSError *getError = nil; if ([theURL getResourceValue:&freshRead forKey:NSURLHasHiddenExtensionKey error:&getError]) { if (freshRead.boolValue) { NSLog(@"it is yes when it should be NO."); } } if (getError != nil) { NSLog(@"Get error: %@",getError); } } if (setError != nil) { NSLog(@"Set error: %@",setError); } While I get that it is possible for there to be other apps setting this value at the same time as my app, doesn't really seem possible in my local environment right now. No errors log out but "it is yes when it should be NO." does log out.

I run into a layout problem where I cannot center an image inside ScrollView which is also inside Navigation Controller. The problem is surely the fact that there is a navigation bar because using this view without NavigationContoller works fine and the image is centered but I don’t know how to account for the space that navigation bar takes up. Here is the code: import UIKit class PhotoViewController: UIViewController { var photoName: String private lazy var photoView = { let image = UIImageView() image.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false image.contentMode = .scaleAspectFit image.clipsToBounds = true return image }() var photoViewBottomConstraint: NSLayoutConstraint? var photoViewLeadingConstraint: NSLayoutConstraint? var photoViewTopConstraint: NSLayoutConstraint? var photoViewTrailingConstraint: NSLayoutConstraint? private lazy var scrollView = { let sv = UIScrollView() sv.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false return sv }() override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() setupUI() } override func viewWillLayoutSubviews() { super.viewWillLayoutSubviews() updateMinZoomScaleForSize(view.bounds.size) } func updateMinZoomScaleForSize(_ size: CGSize) { let widthScale = size.width / photoView.bounds.width let heightScale = size.height / photoView.bounds.height let minScale = min(widthScale, heightScale) scrollView.minimumZoomScale = minScale scrollView.zoomScale = minScale } func setupUI() { photoView.image = UIImage(named: photoName) scrollView.delegate = self view.addSubview(scrollView) scrollView.addSubview(photoView) setupConstraints() } func setupConstraints() { NSLayoutConstraint.activate([ scrollView.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.leadingAnchor), scrollView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.topAnchor), scrollView.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.trailingAnchor), scrollView.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.bottomAnchor) ]) photoViewLeadingConstraint = NSLayoutConstraint( item: photoView, attribute: .leading, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: scrollView, attribute: .leading, multiplier: 1, constant: 0 ) photoViewTopConstraint = NSLayoutConstraint( item: photoView, attribute: .top, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: scrollView, attribute: .top, multiplier: 1, constant: 0 ) photoViewTrailingConstraint = NSLayoutConstraint( item: photoView, attribute: .trailing, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: scrollView, attribute: .trailing, multiplier: 1, constant: 0 ) photoViewBottomConstraint = NSLayoutConstraint( item: photoView, attribute: .bottom, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: scrollView, attribute: .bottom, multiplier: 1, constant: 0 ) photoViewLeadingConstraint?.isActive = true photoViewTopConstraint?.isActive = true photoViewTrailingConstraint?.isActive = true photoViewBottomConstraint?.isActive = true } init(photoName: String) { self.photoName = photoName super.init(nibName: nil, bundle: nil) } required init?(coder: NSCoder) { fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented") } } extension PhotoViewController: UIScrollViewDelegate { func viewForZooming(in scrollView: UIScrollView) -> UIView? { photoView } func scrollViewDidZoom(_ scrollView: UIScrollView) { updateConstraintsForSize(view.bounds.size) } func updateConstraintsForSize(_ size: CGSize) { let yOffset = max(0, (size.height - photoView.frame.height) / 2) photoViewTopConstraint?.constant = yOffset photoViewBottomConstraint?.constant = yOffset let xOffset = max(0, (size.width - photoView.frame.width) / 2) photoViewLeadingConstraint?.constant = xOffset photoViewTrailingConstraint?.constant = xOffset view.layoutIfNeeded() } }

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 } }

iOS 26 – navigationItem.titleView shifted left when leftBarButtonItem is nil Hi everyone, I’m encountering a layout issue on iOS 26 related to navigationItem.titleView positioning. What I’m Doing I’m hiding the default back button and removing the left bar button item: navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = nil navigationItem.hidesBackButton = true navigationItem.setLeftBarButtonItems([], animated: true) Then I create a custom titleView with a specific width calculated as: Screen width minus the width of the two bar button items (left and right). let titleView = UIView(frame: CGRect(origin: .zero, size: sizeOfTitleView)) let titleLabel = UILabel(frame: CGRect(origin: .zero, size: sizeOfTitleView)) Expected Behavior On previous iOS versions, the titleView is perfectly centered in the navigation bar. Actual Behavior (iOS 26) On iOS 26, when leftBarButtonItem is nil, the titleView is pushed slightly to the left instead of being centered (see attached image). Question Has there been a change in UINavigationBar layout behavior in iOS 26? What is the correct way to ensure the titleView remains perfectly centered when there is no leftBarButtonItem? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!

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.

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?

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

I’ve encountered an aspect of the Liquid Glass effect in SwiftUI that seems a bit odd: the Liquid Glass interaction appears to ignore regular hit-testing behavior. The following sample shows a button with hit testing disabled: @main struct LiquidGlassHitTestDemo: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { Button("Liquid") { fatalError("Never called.") } .buttonStyle(.glassProminent) .allowsHitTesting(false) } } } As expected, the button’s action is never called. However, the interactive glass effect still responds to touch events: What’s even more surprising is that the UIKit equivalent behaves differently: final class ViewController: UIViewController { override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() let button = UIButton( configuration: .prominentGlass(), primaryAction: UIAction( title: "Liquid", handler: { action in print("Never called.") } ) ) view.addSubview(button) button.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false NSLayoutConstraint.activate([ button.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerXAnchor), button.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerYAnchor) ]) button.isUserInteractionEnabled = false } } In this case, the effect is not interactive at all. Similarly, if a UIViewController’s root view overrides hitTest(_:with:) to always return nil, the Liquid Glass effect does not react to touch events whatsoever. The only way I’ve found to “properly” disable the glass interactivity in SwiftUI is to use the .disabled(true) modifier. However, this also changes the button’s appearance, which is not always desirable. Is this expected behavior, or could this be a bug? Am I missing something about how Liquid Glass interaction is implemented in SwiftUI?

When you set inputAccessoryView AND inputView you get unexpected system UI in between the two custom views If anyone has a workaround for this I'd love to hear it.

My app start up has became horrid. It takes 1 minute to open SQLlite database for my rust core. Impossible to work... I have Address Sanitizer, Thread Perf Checker and Thread Sanitizer disabled...

Any logical reason why applying .sharedBackgroundVisibility(.hidden) to a ToolbarItem would not remove the spacing allocated for glass border? Thus causing any element utilizing this functionality to appear offset from the regular buttons. Or is this yet another magical Apple experience I am not blessed enough to understand.

Hi everyone, I’m running into a strange issue with UISearchController placement with iOS 26 SDK. In one of my view controllers, I was able to move the search bar to the top of the navigation bar by setting: navigationItem.searchController = searchController navigationItem.hidesSearchBarWhenScrolling = false navigationItem.preferredSearchBarPlacement = .stacked This works as expected — the search bar is placed at the top. However, in another view controller with almost identical configuration, the search bar always shows up at the bottom. If I delay the setup with DispatchQueue.main.async, it appears at the bottom; if I don’t, it doesn’t appear at all. Both VCs are wrapped in their own UINavigationController. So my questions are: Has anyone faced this issue where preferredSearchBarPlacement = .stacked is ignored? Are there hidden requirements or limitations for placing the search bar at the top? Why could the same setup behave differently in two controllers? Any help or ideas would be appreciated!

Could you help me with resolving this issue, please.

Our app supports UIScene. As a result, launchOptions in application(_:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:) is always nil. However, the documentation mentions that UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey.location should be present when the app is launched due to a location event. Given that our app is scene-based: How can we reliably determine whether the app was launched due to a location update, geofence, or significant location change? Is there a recommended pattern or API to detect this scenario in a Scene-based app lifecycle? This information is critical for us to correctly initialize location-related logic on launch. Relevant documentation: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corelocation/cllocationmanager/startmonitoringsignificantlocationchanges()

I have a very simple custom collection view layout that supports self-sizing. When a cell is selected, I expand the cell by modifying its constraints. This change (and the resulting effect on the collection view layout) is animated using [self.collectionView.collectionViewLayout invalidateLayout] followed by [self.collectionView layoutIfNeeded] within an animation closure. When you first tap on a cell, it expands smoothly as expected. When you tap on it again to contract it, however, its content jumps before it shrinks again. How can I fix this? For what it’s worth, I’ve noticed that neither UICollectionViewFlowLayout nor UICollectionViewCompositionalLayout have this issue, which suggests I’m doing self-sizing incorrectly. Here’s a screen recording demonstrating the issue. I’ve also put together a minimal sample project. I’m using Xcode 26.2 and iOS 26.2.1.
