as a beta tester I am trying to explore the OS on multiple platforms like iO, iPadOS, MacOS, WatchOS. While on trying to use beta 1 have few issues and reported to Apple with analytics as I do for better improvements. But, in beta 2 there is an issue of glitches on UI. This also tried to report. But, while am trying record screen I can not see in that video after the screen record. But, in reality I can see that glitch with eyes. as everyone know without evidence we can not report the same with tickets properly and they also can not resolve the issues. It’s affecting on all types of OS platforms of Apple buttons and search positions etc. one more thing I absorbed is while am trying use overlay player and browse the safari or any apple developer apps which are full screen the devices are freezing and not responding and after hard restart those are starting after 10mins. As per my knowledge. Those are going through the memory overflow issue.

I have a LIVE imessage sticker app with simple UI that is auto installed under the sticker section. And i am trying to rewrite the app but the new app, when testing, always publish under the imessage app category instead of under the sticker category. here is the live app on app store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/qoobee-agapi-stickers/id1176590163 Does anyone know how to get my imessage app published under the sticker category?

I'm still unable to achieve the effects as shown. The tinting of the buttons in a .toolbar. The iOS Beta 2 shows in Mail show at can be done. The creation of a true clear glass container as use extensively in iOS26.

In our application we have two usecases for a Hotkey/Shortcut identification API/method. We have some predefined shortcuts that will ship with our MacOS application. They may or may not change dynamically, based on what the user has already set as shortcuts/hotkeys, and also to avoid any important system wide shortcuts that the user may or may not have changed. We allow the user to customize the shortcuts/hotkeys in our application, so we want to show what shortcuts the user already has in use system-wide and across their OS experience. This gives rise to the need for an API that lets us know which shortcut/hotkeys are currently being used by the user and also the current system wide OS shortcuts in use. Please let me know if there are any APIs in AppKit or SwiftUI we can use for the above

I am setting up push notifications in CarPlay and when the user taps on notification from infotainment screen, it should open the app and a CPAlertTemplate should be presented. How can I achieve this? since I'm unable to get a trigger on the didReceiveNotificationResponse so handle some custom actions in between.

There is an issue with SwiftUI where it is incorrectly instantiating the navigation destination view with a new identity for a navigation stack that is being removed. Here is a minimal reproducible example: struct ContentView: View { @State private var signedIn = false var body: some View { if signedIn { navigationStack(isSignedIn: true) } else { navigationStack(isSignedIn: false) } } private func navigationStack(isSignedIn: Bool) -> some View { NavigationStack(path: .constant(NavigationPath([1]))) { EmptyView() .navigationDestination(for: Int.self) { _ in VStack { Text(isSignedIn ? "Signed In" : "Signed Out") .foregroundStyle(Color.red) Button(isSignedIn ? "Sign Out" : "Sign In") { signedIn = !isSignedIn } } .onFirstAppear { print(isSignedIn ? "signed in" : "signed out") } } } } } struct OnFirstAppearView: ViewModifier { @State private var hasAppeared = false var onAppear: () -> Void func body(content: Content) -> some View { content .onAppear { if hasAppeared { return } hasAppeared = true onAppear() } } } extension View { func onFirstAppear(_ onAppear: @escaping () -> Void) -> some View { ModifiedContent(content: self, modifier: OnFirstAppearView(onAppear: onAppear)) } } When you launch the app it will print "signed out", but when you tap to Sign In it will print "signed out" and "signed in". This shows that onAppear is incorrectly being called for a view that is disappearing and worse yet, it is with a new identity. The onFirstAppear modifier was created to help with detecting the identity change of the view. Tested on Xcode 16.4, on simulator using iOS 18.5 and also on physical device using iOS 18.5.

iOS18.0以前では発生していなかったアプリのレイアウト崩れが発生しており、これはOS起因のバグなのか否かをご教示いただきたいです。 【事象】 iOS18.0以前では発生していなかった、右上に表示していたアイコンが真ん中に来ているといったアプリのレイアウト崩れが発生しております。 【原因調査】 ソースを確認したところ、 親要素のCSS内にあるui-btn-textのdisplayが、上記事象が発生しているOS(現在で確認できているのは18.4.1と18.5)だと 「display: block」もしくは「display: inline-block」となっていない場合横幅がない状態として判定されています。 その為「position:absolute」かつ、「right: XXpx」という指定を行った場合、iOS18.0以前では親要素の右端から「XXpx」ずれた位置に配置される形となりますが、事象が発生しているOSでは（横幅が0として判定されるため）親要素の左端から「XXpx」ずれた位置に配置される形となっております。 【質問】 これはOS起因のバグなのか仕様変更なのか確認いただきたいです。

Hi, Is there any way of changing the contentInset (UIKit variant) of a List in SwiftUI? I do not see any APIs for doing so, the closest I gotten is to use safeAreaInset . While visually that works the UX is broken as you can no longer "scroll" from the gap made by the .safeAreaInset(edge:alignment:spacing:content:) I have subbmited a feedback suggestion: FB16866956

In UIKit, UIButton provides a configuration property which allows us to create and customize a UIButton.Configuration instance independently (on a background thread or elsewhere) and later assign it to a UIButton instance. This separation of configuration and assignment is very useful for clean architecture and performance optimization. Questions: Is this configuration-style pattern (creating a configuration object separately and assigning it later) available or planned for other UIKit components such as UILabel, UITextField, UISlider, etc.? Similarly, in AppKit on macOS, are there any components (e.g. NSButton, NSTextField) that support a comparable configuration object mechanism that can be used the same way — constructed separately and assigned to the view later? This would help in building consistent configuration-driven UI frameworks across Apple platforms. Any insight or official guidance would be appreciated.

Is it actually possible to display animation (even a simple one) on Live Activity? But on these cases: The main app is terminated - of course, I know I can use the main app to keep updating the Live Activity to make simple animations work, but in this case, the main app is killed. Live Activity data is not updating - I also understand that the Live Activity can perform animations when its data is being update via push notification or other means, but the current case is the data is not being updated. I’ve tried several ways to achieve this, but nothing seems to work. Just when I was about to give up, I found this video from Apple’s official channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6WMwSj_EbA At 4:14 in this video, you can see the text "Locating Driver" with the breathing animation. Could someone please help me understand how to implement that kind of animation in a Live Activity when: The main app is not running, and The Live Activity data is not updating?

I am trying to hide the titlebar for a macOS app and despite searching throughout the entire day, there's nothing that points to how I can achieve this. I did find this page in the documentation but I don't understand it. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uititlebar/titlevisibility How do I remove the part where it says Xcode Previews? I have used the following on my WindowGroup that works perfectly when the app is being run but it doesn't do anything in the preview. .windowStyle(.hiddenTitleBar)

Hello, I’m developing an app where I display a SwiftUI view inside a UIHostingController embedded within a UIKit ViewController. I’m trying to animate the height of the UIHostingController’s view based on a switch’s value, but the SwiftUI view doesn’t animate at all. Below is a simplified version of my code: class ViewController: UIViewController { private lazy var parentView: UIView = { let view = UIView() view.backgroundColor = .red view.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false return view }() private lazy var hostingView: UIView = { let testView = TestView() let hostingController = UIHostingController(rootView: testView) let view = hostingController.view! view.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false return view }() private lazy var button: UISwitch = { let button = UISwitch() button.addTarget(self, action: #selector(onClickSwitch(sender:)), for: .valueChanged) button.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false return button }() private var hostingViewHeightConstraint: NSLayoutConstraint? override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() view.addSubview(parentView) parentView.addSubview(hostingView) parentView.addSubview(button) NSLayoutConstraint.activate([ parentView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.topAnchor), parentView.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.bottomAnchor), parentView.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.leadingAnchor), parentView.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.trailingAnchor) ]) NSLayoutConstraint.activate([ hostingView.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: parentView.bottomAnchor), hostingView.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: parentView.leadingAnchor), hostingView.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: parentView.trailingAnchor) ]) hostingViewHeightConstraint = hostingView.heightAnchor.constraint(equalTo: parentView.heightAnchor, multiplier: 0.5) hostingViewHeightConstraint?.isActive = true NSLayoutConstraint.activate([ button.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: parentView.centerXAnchor), NSLayoutConstraint(item: button, attribute: .centerY, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: parentView, attribute: .centerY, multiplier: 0.25, constant: 0) ]) } @objc func onClickSwitch(sender: UISwitch) { hostingViewHeightConstraint?.isActive = false let multiplier: CGFloat = sender.isOn ? 0.25 : 0.5 hostingViewHeightConstraint = hostingView.heightAnchor.constraint(equalTo: parentView.heightAnchor, multiplier: multiplier) hostingViewHeightConstraint?.isActive = true UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.3) { self.view.layoutIfNeeded() } } } I’m looking for the behavior demonstrated in the video below: Does anyone have suggestions on how to achieve this?

I have a widget that runs well on iOS 18. It is configurable and implements AppIntentTimelineProvider on the Provider. On iOS 17 it will call the placeholder method 7 times and not call the timeline method. The configuration intent implements WidgetConfigurationIntent. I've looked through the console logs and saw "ApplicationExtension record not found" but I'm not sure where to go from there. Why would the same widget work fine on iOS 18 and not 17? If I implement TimelineProvider and use a StaticConfiguration it works on iOS 17. Any help / guidance would be appreciated.

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.

I'm trying to switch to UIKit's document lifecycle due to serious bugs with SwiftUI's version. However I'm noticing the template project from Xcode isn't compatible with Swift 6 (I already migrated my app to Swift 6.). To reproduce: File -> New -> Project Select "Document App" under iOS Set "Interface: UIKit" In Build Settings, change Swift Language Version to Swift 6 Run app Tap "Create Document" Observe: crash in _dispatch_assert_queue_fail Does anyone know of a work around other than downgrading to Swift 5?

Hello all, I'm confused about how to show lanes in CarPlay. I understand CPLaneGuidance and CPLane I don't find anywhere where to tell Carplay which icon to show for each lane. I've found some information saying we put the icon in CPManeuver, but then CPManeuver is linked to only one CPLaneGuidance, and we can put only one icon in CPManeuver. At the same time, we might have multiple lanes. Any help, tips, or examples would be highly helpful.

I'm wondering what the correct, or recommended, way is to dismiss a SwiftUI that is being presented as a sheet hosted by an NSHostingController. The usual technique of invoking @Environment(\.dismiss) does not appear to work. Consider the code below. An NSWindowController is attempting to display a SwiftUI SettingsView as a sheet. The sheet is correctly presented, but the SettingsView is unable to dismiss itself. I am able to make it work by passing a closure into SettingsView that calls back to the NSWindowController but it's rather convoluted because SettingsView doesn't know the view controller that's hosting it until after SettingsView has been created, which means "finding" that view controller in the window controller to dismiss is more involved than it should be. Is there a better strategy to leverage here? final class MyViewController: NSViewController { @IBAction func buttonClicked(_ sender: NSButton) { if let presenter = window?.contentViewController { presenter.presentAsSheet(NSHostingController(rootView: SettingsView())) } } } struct SettingsView: View { @Environment(\.dismiss) private var dismiss var body: some View { VStack { Button("Cancel", role: .cancel) { dismiss() // This call does not dismiss the sheet. } .keyboardShortcut(.cancelAction) } } } Thank you. macOS 15.4.1 (24E263), Xcode 16.3 (16E140)

I'm developing a CarPlay version of my app, with the CarPlay EV Charging App entitlement (com.apple.developer.carplay-charging). However, I would like to use the Search template to searching for charging stations — but it seems this template is only available for Navigation Apps(maps). In this case, what is the recommended approach? Is it possible to apply both entitlements simultaneously and use the Search template only?

I have added multiple status icons to my project, in the form of .icon files created with Icon Composer. The main app icon works, but the status icons are not working. I am attempting to load the images from the asset catalog using NSImage imageNamed:, and apply them to the NSApp dockTile using NSGlassEffectContainerView. I don't even know if that attempt is going to work, as I never get past the stage of NSImage loading the icons. Maybe someone on the forums knows what to do there? I'd be willing to use one of my coding support incidents to work through this if necessary, as my two incidents will expire as my subscription rolls over in August anyway. My project lives at https://github.com/losnoco/cog/, and the Tahoe attempt WIP lives in the wip.tahoe branch, with the latest commit as of this post being the attempt to adapt the Dock Icon generation. I'd love to know if I can adapt this easily. I'm also still trying to support existing non-Glass custom .png icons the user can add to their profile folder with buttons in the preferences, as well as supporting legacy status icons on pre-Tahoe installs. I also try to add a progress bar to the dock tile view when the app is processing something at length.
