DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM When using SwiftUI’s TextField or TextEditor on iPadOS, a persistent gray or default system material bar appears at the bottom of the screen. This gray bar is not present in Apple’s native apps (such as Notes, Mail, Messages) or in third-party apps like ChatGPT and Beeper STEPS TO REPRODUCE Create a TextField or TextEditor. Run the code, click on it, without software keyboard enabled.

Let's say you have a protocol that can work with both classes and structs but you want to have a uniform UI to make edits. What is the recommended way to have one view that will take both? App import SwiftUI @main struct ObservationTesterApp: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView(existence: Existence()) } } } Types import Foundation protocol Dateable { var timestamp:Date { get set } } struct Arrival:Dateable { var timestamp:Date } @Observable class Existence:Dateable { var timestamp:Date init(timestamp: Date) { self.timestamp = timestamp } } extension Existence { convenience init() { self.init(timestamp: Date()) } } ContentView, etc // // ContentView.swift // ObservationTester // // import SwiftUI struct EditDateableView<TimedThing:Dateable>:View { @Binding var timed:TimedThing //note that this currently JUST a date picker //but it's possible the protocol would have more var body:some View { DatePicker("Time To Change", selection: $timed.timestamp) } } #Preview { @Previewable @State var tt = Arrival(timestamp: Date()) EditDateableView<Arrival>(timed: $tt) } struct ContentView: View { @State var arrival = Arrival(timestamp: Date()) @Bindable var existence:Existence var body: some View { //this work around also not allowed. "self is immutable" // let existBinding = Binding<Existence>(get: { existence }, set: { existence = $0 }) VStack { EditDateableView(timed: $arrival) //a Binding cant take a Bindable //EditDateableView<Existence>(timed: $existence) } .padding() } } #Preview { ContentView(existence: Existence()) }

I have a controller that displays a pdf using UIDocumentInteractionController as the presented view. When users open it up, it shows fine. User gets the app backgrounded and session timed out. After timed out, when the app is brought to foreground, I bring our loginVC by removing the old VC used to show the UIDocumentInteractionController. All the crashes are happening at this point. I am not able to reproduce it, but our alert systems show we have crashes happening. The code that shows the pdf is straight forward documentViewController = UIDocumentInteractionController() documentViewController?.delegate = self documentViewController?.url = url documentViewController?.presentPreview(animated: true) and we reset it to nil in delegate documentInteractionControllerDidEndPreview Based on the crash trace, it seems like the crash happens when our login VC replaces it and only when pdf was displayed. The reason of stressing ONLY because when we have other viewcontroller present and they are removed in a similar way, we do not see any issue. So we always replace first and then add a new one childViewController.willMove(toParent: nil) childViewController.viewIfLoaded?.removeFromSuperview() childViewController.removeFromParent() addChild(childViewController) view.addSubview(childViewController.view) childViewController.view.frame = view.bounds childViewController.didMove(toParent: self) Raised a ticket with Apple, but I haven't heard back, and it's been a month. Posting here in case anyone experiences the same and has any solutions. I saw some related posts, and solution was to remove the pdf the moment the app goes to the background, but I am trying to find some alternate solution if possible.

I would like to understand how to programmatically set the position of a cursor in a SwiftUI TextField. In UIKit this can be done using the selectedTextRange property, but I couldn't find a similar way to achieve this with pure SwiftUI. I want to figure out something like setCursorPosition (index:) - maybe by tracking the position in a @State or any other way. I understand that I can do this using UIViewRepresentable but I am looking for a pure SwiftUI solution and wanted to know if there is any.

App Clip target is added to my main app, and set associated domains such as appclips:example.com both in clip and main app. 2.Register local launch experience with url prefix https://example.com in my IPhone device. 3.Generate a QR code with this url. When scanning the QR code ,a clip card popped up, but clip the open action button ,always laugh clip not the main app although main app is already installed. How should I test the clip card to the main app route to check if the main app process the url rightly? Any suggestions are welcome.

What particular configuration will allow a document based app (DocumentGroup) to open the application into the selected document when the document is touched in Files.app. The sample code doesn't show this behaviour and instead will open the app but will not open the selected document. This also is the behaviour with the Xcode document based app template. Using LSSupportsOpeningDocumentsInPlace = YES in the plist does not make any difference. .onOpenURL is not a modifier on Scene only View and if the app is opened from cold the document view will not exist. In any case I would expect the DocumentGroup to open the document directly with no further intervention. What additional magic do I need to get a document to open directly from Files.app (or Messages) . For example Swift Playgrounds shows the correct behaviour, opening the selected project directly.

I want to truncate text from head with max 2 lines. I try the following code import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @State var content: String = "Hello world! wef wefwwfe wfewe weweffwefwwfwe wfwe" var body: some View { VStack { Text(content) .lineLimit(nil) .truncationMode(.head) .frame(height: 50) Button { content += content } label: { Text("Double") } .buttonStyle(.borderedProminent) } .frame(width: 200, height: 1000) .padding() } } #Preview { ContentView() } It show result like this, this is not what I want.

Problem Setting ".environment(.layoutDirection, .rightToLeft)" to a view programmatically won't make buttons in menu to show right to left. However, setting ".environment(.locale, .init(identifier: "he-IL"))" to a view programmatically makes buttons in menu to show Hebrew strings correctly. Development environment: Xcode 16.x, macOS 15.3.1 Target iOS: iOS 17 - iOS 18 The expected result is that the button in the menu should be displayed as an icon then a text from left to right. Code to demonstrate the problem: struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { VStack(alignment: .leading) { Text("Buttons in menu don't respect the environment value of .layoutDirection") .font(.subheadline) .padding(.bottom, 48) /// This button respects both "he-IL" of ".locale" and ".rightToLeft" of ".layoutDirection". Button { print("Button tapped") } label: { HStack { Text("Send") Image(systemName: "paperplane") } } Menu { /// This button respects "he-IL" of ".locale" but doesn't respect ".rightToLeft" of ".layoutDirection". Button { print("Button tapped") } label: { HStack { Text("Send") Image(systemName: "paperplane") } } } label: { Text("Menu") } } .padding() .environment(\.locale, .init(identifier: "he-IL")) .environment(\.layoutDirection, .rightToLeft) } }

I am working on creating a custom Popup View based on a .fullscreenCover. The .fullscreenCover is used to place the Popup content on screen on a semi-transparent background. While this works on iOS 18, there is a problem on iOS 17: When the Popup content contains a .sheet, the background is not transparent any more but opaque. Image: iOS 17. When showing the Popup an opaque background covers the main content. When tapping on the background it turns transparent. Image: iOS 18. Everything works as intended. When showing the Popup the main background is covered with a semi-transparent background. Removing the .sheet(...) from the Popup content solves the problem. It does not matter if the sheet is used or not. Adding it to the view code is enough to trigger the problem. Using a .sheet within a .fullscreenCover should not be a problem as far as I know. Is this a bug in iOS 17 or is there something wrong with my code? Code: struct SwiftUIView: View { @State var isPresented: Bool = false @State var sheetPresented: Bool = false var body: some View { ZStack { VStack { Color.red.frame(maxHeight: .infinity) Color.green.frame(maxHeight: .infinity) Color.yellow.frame(maxHeight: .infinity) Color.blue.frame(maxHeight: .infinity) } Button("Show") { isPresented = true } .padding() .background(.white) Popup(isPresented: $isPresented) { VStack { Button("Dismiss") { isPresented = false } } .frame(maxWidth: 300) .padding() .background( RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 20) .fill(.white) ) .sheet(isPresented: $sheetPresented) { Text("Hallo") } } } } } struct Popup<Content: View>: View { @Binding var isPresented: Bool let content: () -> Content init(isPresented: Binding<Bool>, @ViewBuilder _ content: @escaping () -> Content) { _isPresented = isPresented self.content = content } @State private var internalIsPresented: Bool = false @State private var isShowing: Bool = false let transitionDuration: TimeInterval = 0.5 var body: some View { ZStack { } .fullScreenCover(isPresented: $internalIsPresented) { VStack { content() } .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, maxHeight: .infinity) .background( Color.black.opacity(0.5) .opacity(isShowing ? 1 : 0) .animation(.easeOut(duration: transitionDuration), value: isShowing) .ignoresSafeArea() ) .presentationBackground(.clear) .onAppear { isShowing = true } .onDisappear { isShowing = false } } .onChange(of: isPresented) { _ in withoutAnimation { internalIsPresented = isPresented } } } } extension View { func withoutAnimation(action: @escaping () -> Void) { var transaction = Transaction() transaction.disablesAnimations = true withTransaction(transaction) { action() } } }

I'm trying to determine if it’s possible to detect when a user interacts with a Slide Over window while my app is running in the background on iPadOS. I've explored lifecycle methods such as scenePhase and various UIApplication notifications (e.g., willResignActiveNotification) to detect focus loss, but these approaches don't seem to capture the event reliably. Has anyone found an alternative solution or workaround for detecting this specific state change? Any insights or recommended practices would be greatly appreciated.

For my macOS app, I'm trying to change the mouse cursor to a pointing hand while hovering over a specific view. However, when the view is scaled with an animation triggered by hovering (using .scaleEffect() and .animation()), the cursor doesn't change as expected. Is there any workaround to fix this? This is a sample code: struct ContentView: View { @State private var hovering = false var body: some View { VStack { Text("Hover me") .padding() .background(hovering ? Color.blue : Color.gray) .scaleEffect(hovering ? 1.2 : 1.0) .animation(.linear(duration: 0.2), value: hovering) .onHover { hovering in self.hovering = hovering if hovering { NSCursor.pointingHand.push() } else { NSCursor.pop() } } } .frame(width: 200, height: 200) } } This is how it works: As you can see, when the pointer enters the view, the cursor changes momentarily before reverting back to the arrow icon. I also tried using NSTrackingArea with an NSView placed over the view, but it did not solve the issue. It might be that the combination of .scaleEffect() and .animation() is causing a forced cursor reset (possibly related to the use of NSWindow.disableCursorRects() or something similar). However, I'm not entirely sure. Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

iOS 18.4.1 When I change a Google type event to an iCloud type, a "Cannot Save Event" prompt box pops up. We have also received user feedback that recurring events also fail to save. After updating to iOS 18.4 when trying to save changes to an existing repeating event, the message "Cannot Save Event" will appear. EventKitUI

It appears that on all recent versions of macOS when adding a new InputSource in /Library/Input Methods (or modifying an existing one there) the user needs to logoff and log back in in order for Keyboard/Input Sources in System Settings and Input Menu in menu bar to pick up the changes. Is there a way to avoid this? That is, some notification to send or API to call to tell both of these "hey, things might have changed on disk, please re-read the info, and update the UI". 🙂

Anybody can help me with the problems of splashboard? My request is to create a launchScreen.storyboard that can follows system's theme. So in the storyboard i use the image set resource which is created in Assets.xcassets. But i encountered the following problems： when i use image set resource，the splashboard is black, seems like springboard fail to generate the ktx file. But when i move the same image file to the root of Resource directory, it works. Why???? Some image works when it is put in Image set, some file can't. But all file don't work when the image set contains both light image and dark image. Why??? Suddenly it works for when i change compression attribute to lossess，so i guess the problems hanppened when my image is compressed. And two days later, the splash board is dark again when i debug. So what is the cache strategy for the splash board and the image resource used. How can i clear the cache, delete the app is not enough? Should i restart my phone? That's all, anybody can help me?

Hi everyone, I'm encountering a persistent build error in a SwiftUI iOS app and I'm running out of ideas. Setup: My ContentView uses two @EnvironmentObjects (GameViewModel, SettingsStore). The GameViewModel has an AppState enum (.welcome, .setup, .game). The ContentView body uses a switch viewModel.currentAppState (wrapped in a Group) to display one of three different views (WelcomeView, SetupView, GameView). Navigation between states is triggered by changing viewModel.currentAppState within withAnimation blocks in the respective subviews. Problem: I consistently get the build error 'buildExpression' is unavailable: this expression does not conform to 'View' pointing to the lines inside the .setup and .game cases of the switch statement in ContentView. Code (ContentView.swift - Simplified Test Version that STILL fails): // Zweck: Steuert die Hauptnavigation basierend auf AppState // KORRIGIERTE VERSION OHNE .animation(...) am Ende import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { // Zugriff auf das ViewModel, um den AppState zu lesen @EnvironmentObject var viewModel: GameViewModel // SettingsStore wird von untergeordneten Views benötigt @EnvironmentObject var settingsStore: SettingsStore var body: some View { // Optional: Group um das switch-Statement, kann manchmal helfen (kannst du auch weglassen) Group { // Wechsle die Ansicht basierend auf viewModel.currentAppState switch viewModel.currentAppState { case .welcome: WelcomeView() // EnvironmentObjects an WelcomeView übergeben .environmentObject(viewModel) .environmentObject(settingsStore) // Übergangsanimation .transition(.opacity) case .setup: SetupView() // EnvironmentObjects an SetupView übergeben .environmentObject(viewModel) .environmentObject(settingsStore) // Übergangsanimation .transition(.asymmetric(insertion: .move(edge: .trailing), removal: .move(edge: .leading))) case .game: GameView() // EnvironmentObjects an GameView übergeben .environmentObject(viewModel) .environmentObject(settingsStore) // Übergangsanimation .transition(.asymmetric(insertion: .move(edge: .trailing), removal: .move(edge: .leading))) } } // Ende der optionalen Group // !!! WICHTIG: KEIN .animation(...) Modifier hier !!! } } // Vorschau struct ContentView_Previews: PreviewProvider { static var previews: some View { // Erstelle Instanzen für die Vorschau let vmWelcome = GameViewModel() vmWelcome.currentAppState = .welcome let vmSetup = GameViewModel() vmSetup.currentAppState = .setup let vmGame = GameViewModel() vmGame.currentAppState = .game vmGame.currentCard = Card.defaultCards.first let settings = SettingsStore() // Zeige verschiedene Zustände in der Vorschau an Group { ContentView() .environmentObject(vmWelcome) .environmentObject(settings) .previewDisplayName("Welcome State") ContentView() .environmentObject(vmSetup) .environmentObject(settings) .previewDisplayName("Setup State") ContentView() .environmentObject(vmGame) .environmentObject(settings) .previewDisplayName("Game State") } } } Troubleshooting Steps Taken (No Success): Ensured correct placement of .environmentObject modifiers on subviews within the switch. Removed a previous .animation() modifier applied directly to the switch. Ensured state changes triggering transitions are wrapped in withAnimation. Wrapped the switch in a Group. Multiple "Clean Build Folder". Deleted entire Derived Data folder (with Xcode closed). Restarted Xcode and the Mac multiple times. Deleted and recreated ContentView.swift with the code above. Crucially: The errors persist even when replacing WelcomeView(), - - - --- SetupView(), and GameView() with simple Text("...") views inside the switch cases (as shown in the code snippet above). Environment: Xcode Version: newest macOS Version: newest Question: Does anyone have any idea why the compiler would still fail to type-check this switch structure, even when the views inside are simplified to basic Text? What else could I try to diagnose or fix this? Could it be related to the subviews (SetupView/GameView) potentially having their own NavigationView or complexity, even when replaced by Text in the failing ContentView? Thanks for any suggestions!

Question: I'm aware of the AASA file hosting procedure to make app clips work and link them to your website, but IIRC you can trigger app clips via the simple appclip.apple.com URL too, right? As a result no need to host the AASA file. Like my app store connect gave me the URL https://appclip.apple.com/id?p=myname.myappsname.Clip but when I click it it says "This app clip is not currently available in your country or region". However I'm also getting Bad JSON content on the View Status under the domain. I'm so confused.
