If I present "SFSafariViewController" when a "FamilyActivityPicker" is visible, it will automatically dismiss the "SFSafariViewController" and crash the "FamilyActivityPicker." I'm assuming the cause of the bug is that each is in a separate process (aside from the app), and there's some hacks to try to stop "FamilyActivityPicker" from crashing, and this is causing the new bug because "SFSafariViewController" is also in a separate process. (I'm not 100% if its just in 18.4 or iOS 18 overall...) (I'll try to file a feedback soon, but its 100% reproducible for me across multiple devices on iOS 18.4)

I have installed the iOS 26 Beta on my device and conducted a comprehensive functionality test of my iOS application, which I designed and developed. The application includes a feature that allows users to share images directly to X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook. During testing, I encountered an issue where the icons for X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook do not appear in the share dialog, despite both apps being installed on the device. This issue prevents users from sharing images to these platforms directly from the app. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install iOS 26 Beta on a compatible device. 2.Ensure that both the X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook apps are installed and logged in on the device. 3.Open the iOS application and navigate to the image sharing feature. 4.Attempt to share an image using the share dialog. 5.Observe that the icons for X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook are missing from the share options. Expected Behavior: The share dialog should display icons for X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook, allowing users to share images directly to these platforms. Actual Behavior: The icons for X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook do not appear in the share dialog, preventing direct sharing to these platforms. Code Implementation: I have not implemented any code to exclude X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook from the share options. Below is the relevant code for controlling the share screen: let activityViewController = UIActivityViewController(activityItems: activityItems, applicationActivities: applicationActivities) let excludedTypes = [ UIActivity.ActivityType.assignToContact, UIActivity.ActivityType.print, ] activityViewController.excludedActivityTypes = excludedTypes activityViewController.completionWithItemsHandler = completion self.present(activityViewController, animated: true, completion: nil) As shown in the implementation, there is no exclusion of X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook, yet their icons do not appear in the share dialog.

I am developing iOS App using SwiftUI and I notice that Myanmar font of number text on 18.4 have clipped on top and bottom. Does anyone have this issues and know the fix? I have provided the Screenshot also.

My app doesn't respond on iPhone Air iOS 26.1. After startup, my app shows the main view with a tab bar controller containing 4 navigation controllers. However, when a second-level view controller is pushed onto any navigation controller, the UI freezes and becomes unresponsive. The iPhone simulator running iOS 26.1 exhibits the same problem. The debug profile shows CPU usage at 100%. However, other devices and simulators do not have this problem.

Dear Apple Customer Support, I’m developing a new Swift iPadOS app and I want the app to run in landscape only (portrait disabled). In Xcode, under Target > General > Deployment Info > Device Orientation, if I select only Landscape Left and Landscape Right, the app builds successfully, but during upload/validation I receive this message and the upload is blocked: “Update the Info.plist: Support for all orientations will soon be required.” Could you please advise what the correct/recommended way is to keep an iPad app locked to landscape only while complying with the current App Store upload requirements? Is there a specific Info.plist configuration (e.g., UISupportedInterfaceOrientations~ipad) or another setting that should be used? Thank you,

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

I have a PDF which contains geocoordinates. I'm extracting out that image with the following code (this is for an iOS application): guard let cgDocument = CGPDFDocument(overlay.pdfUrl as CFURL) else { return } guard let cgPage = cgDocument.page(at: 1) else { return } var boundingRect = self.rect(for: overlay.boundingMapRect) let pdfPageRect = cgPage.getBoxRect(.mediaBox) let renderer = UIGraphicsImageRenderer(size: pdfPageRect.size) var img = renderer.image { ctx in UIColor.white.set() ctx.fill(pdfPageRect) ctx.cgContext.translateBy(x: 0.0, y: pdfPageRect.size.height) ctx.cgContext.scaleBy(x: 1.0, y: -1.0) ctx.cgContext.drawPDFPage(cgPage) } Once I have that image, I then need to adjust it to fit the specific coordinate corners. For that, I'm doing the following using a perspectiveTransform: let ciImg = CIImage(image: img)! let perspectiveTransformFilter = CIFilter.perspectiveTransform() perspectiveTransformFilter.inputImage = ciImg perspectiveTransformFilter.topRight = cartesianForPoint(point: ur, extent: boundingRect) perspectiveTransformFilter.topLeft = cartesianForPoint(point: ul, extent: boundingRect) perspectiveTransformFilter.bottomRight = cartesianForPoint(point: lr, extent: boundingRect) perspectiveTransformFilter.bottomLeft = cartesianForPoint(point: ll, extent: boundingRect) let txImg = perspectiveTransformFilter.outputImage! img = UIImage(ciImage: txImg) The original image is 792 x 612 (a landscape PDF) but the boundingRect covering the coordinates is 25625 x 20030. Obviously when I try to draw the image into that bounding box the app runs out of memory (25625 x 20030 x 4 is around 2GB of memory). What I'm struggling with is - how do I correctly scale this image to fit into the bounding box even though the bounding box is, oh, 10x the resolution of the actual device? There's some key CoreGraphics thing I'm sure I'm missing here.

Sidebars for mac Catalyst apps running with UIDesignRequiresCompatibility flag render their active items with a white bg tint – resulting in labels and icons being not visible. mac OS Tahoe 26.1 Beta 3 (25B5062e) FB20765036 Example (Apple Developer App):

In iOS 26, the Slider control no longer respects the step parameter. For example, import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @State private var sliderValue: CGFloat = 16 var body: some View { Slider( value: $sliderValue, in: 0...100, step: 5, onEditingChanged: { editing in print(sliderValue) } ) } } In iOS 18, this prints values like 5, 35, 60, 95, etc. In iOS 26.0 (release version), this prints floats that are not rounded to the nearest 5, and the slider does not snap to values ending in 5. Feedback report number: FB20320542

Here is a simple view to demonstrate the issue struct ContentView: View { @State private var isPresented = false var body: some View { VStack { Button("Test") { isPresented = true } } .alert("Test", isPresented: $isPresented, actions: { Button("Delete All", role: .destructive) {} }, message: { Text("Are You Sure?") }) .padding() } }``` Which results in ![example alert]("https://developer.apple.com/forums/content/attachment/c6210120-d82e-4df5-a01a-fc5cb168e1bf" "title=Screenshot 2025-09-08 at 08.57.21.png;width=546;height=442") The destructive button is almost unreadable. WCAG score is 1.4, far below the minimum recommended 4.5. I found [this post](https://stackoverflow.com/q/66448869) on SO going back to Big Sur, but not on this forum. Any known workarounds (except for building my own dialogs, which I am trying to avoid)? Using confirmationDialog instead of alert does not make a difference.

Hey there, I have an app that allows picking any folder via UIDocumentPickerViewController. Up until iOS18 users were able to pick folders from connected servers (servers connected in the Files app) as well. On iOS26, the picker allows for browsing into the connected servers, but the Select button is greyed out and does nothing when tapped. Is this a known issue? This breaks the whole premise of my file syncronization application.

Hello, While integrating the Liquid Glass UI introduced in iOS 26 into my existing app, I encountered an unexpected issue. My app uses a UITabBarController, where each tab contains a UINavigationController, and the actual content resides in each UIViewController. Typically, I perform navigation using navigationController?.pushViewController(...) and hide the TabBar by setting vc.hidesBottomBarWhenPushed = true when needed. This structure worked perfectly fine prior to iOS 26, and I believe many apps use a similar approach. However, after enabling Liquid Glass UI, a problem occurs. Problem Description From AViewController, I push BViewController with hidesBottomBarWhenPushed = true. BViewController appears, and the TabBar is hidden as expected. When performing a swipe-back gesture, as soon as AViewController becomes visible, the TabBar immediately reappears (likely due to A’s viewWillAppear). The TabBar remains visible for a short moment even if the gesture is canceled — during that time, it is also interactable. Before iOS 26, the TabBar appeared synchronized with AViewController and did not prematurely show during the swipe transition. Tried using the new iOS 18 API: tabBarController?.setTabBarHidden(false, animated: true) It slightly improves the animation behavior, but the issue persists. If hidesBottomBarWhenPushed is now deprecated or discouraged, migrating entirely to setTabBarHidden would require significant refactoring, which is not practical for many existing apps. Is this caused by a misuse of hidesBottomBarWhenPushed, or could this be a regression or design change in iOS 26’s Liquid Glass UI?

The following is verbatim of a feedback report (FB19809442) I submitted, shared here as someone else might be interested to see it (I hate the fact that we can't see each other's feedbacks). On iOS 16, TextKit 2 calls NSTextLayoutFragment's draw(at:in:) method once for the first paragraph, but for every other paragraph, it calls it continuously on every scroll step in the UITextView. (The first paragraph is not cached; its draw is called again when it is about to be displayed again, but then it is again called only once per its lifecycle.) On iOS 17, the behavior is similar; the draw method gets called once for the 1st and 2nd paragraph, and for every other paragraph it again gets called continuously as a user scrolls a UITextView. On iOS 18 (and iOS 26 beta 4), TextKit 2 calls the layout fragment's draw(at:in:) on every scroll step in the UITextView, for all paragraphs. This results in terrible performance. TextKit 2 is promised to bring many performance benefits by utilizing the viewport - a new concept that represents the visible area of a text view, along with a small overscroll. However, having the draw method being constantly called almost negates all the performance benefits that viewport brings. Imagine what could happen if someone needs to add just a bit of logic to that draw method. FPS drops significantly and UX is terribly degraded. I tried optimizing this by only rendering those text line fragments which are in the viewport, by using NSTextViewportLayoutController.viewportBounds and converting NSTextLineFragment.typographicBounds to the viewport-relative coordinate space (i.e. the coordinate space of the UITextView itself). However, this patch only works on iOS 18 where the draw method is called too many times, as the viewport changes. (I may have some other problems in my implementation, but I gave up on improving those, as this can't work reliably on all OS versions since the underlying framework isn't calling the method consistently.) Is this expected? What are our options for improving performance in these areas?

On an iPad running iOS26, there is an issue with the numberPad keyboard I have a UITextField with a keyboard type of .numberPad When I first tap in the field, a new number pad with just numbers (similar to the one that shows up on iPhone) shows up. When I tap again in the field, that number pad goes away. When I tap in the field again, the full keyboard with numbers etc shows up (this is the one that used to always show up pre-iOS26)

Hello, I have a number of UIViewControllers that are presented as follows: vc.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationStyle.popover vc.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyle.coverVertical self.present(vc, animated: true, completion: nil) The VC is designed from a Storyboard where I set the 'view' of the VC to have a .clear 'backgroundColor', I have a smaller 'Alert View' added as a subview which is what the user interacts with. In iOS 13 - iOS 18 this would present modally, not take up the entire screen and allow the user to see relevant context from the screen underneath. In iOS 26 Beta 5 and every beta prior the system injects a 'UIDropShadowView' in the View Hierarchy, this view has a solid color backdrop, either white/black depending on light/dark mode. This causes all underlying content to be blocked and essentially forces a full screen modal presentation despite the existing design. I am looking for a way to remove this solid color. I'm not sure if it's intentional or a bug / oversight. I have been able to remove it in a hacky way, I cycle the view hierarchy to find 'UIDropShadowView' and set it's backdrop to transparent. However when you swipe down to partially dismiss the view it turns to Liquid Glass when it is around 75% dismissed and then resets the background color to white/black. I tried creating a custom UIViewControllerTransitioningDelegate so that I could re-implement the existing behaviour but it's incredibly difficult to mimic the partial dismiss swipe down effect on the VC. I have also tried changing my presentation to: vc.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationStyle.overFullScreen vc.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyle.crossDissolve This works but then the user loses the ability to interactively swipe to dismiss. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

My App Clip is associated with three domains: • nfc.ttwifi.net • qr.ttwifi.net Currently, I’m experiencing an issue where scanning a QR code from qr.ttwifi.net correctly launches my App Clip. However, when I scan a QR code from nfc.ttwifi.net, it successfully displays the App Clip card but then shows the message “App Clip unavailable.” I checked the Website Status in App Store Connect, and both domains have their Debugging Status and Cache Status marked as Verified. One important detail to note: Yesterday, while submitting a new version for review, I noticed that nfc.ttwifi.net showed “Unable to connect to AASA file” in the Cache Status in App Store Connect. The cache status update time was March 27, 2025, at 6:52 PM. However, when I checked today, both domains appeared to be fine, and the cache status update time was March 27, 2025, at 7:07 PM. How can I restore the App Clip functionality for my nfc.ttwifi.net domain?

I have an iOS Widget that also can load on the Mac when the Use iPhone Widgets setting is turned on on the Mac in Desktop & Dock. I want to use a different url scheme to open video clips from the widget if it is being clicked on iOS or the Mac. I tried using ProcessInfo.processInfo.isiOSAppOnMac but it always thinks it is on iOS. I also tried looking for the user document path to see if it was /var/mobile/ or /Users/. but it always thinks it is /var/mobile. I assume this is as it is not really a catalyst app but a WidgetKit extension from the phone. Is there anyway I can figure out when the widget is running on the mac? Thanks!

Hi, In the WWDC25 session Elevate an app with Swift concurrency (timestamps: 8:04 and later), the StickerViewModel is shown annotated with @Observable but not @MainActor. The narration mentions that updates happen on the main thread, but that guarantee is left implicit in the calling code. In Swift 6, though, one of the major benefits is stronger compiler enforcement against data races and isolation rules. If a view model were also annotated with @MainActor, then the compiler could enforce that observable state is only updated on the main actor, preventing accidental background mutations or updates that can cause data races between nonisolated and main actor-isolated uses. Since @Observable already signals that state changes are intended to be observed (and in practice, usually by views), it seems natural that such types should also be main-actor isolated. Otherwise, we’re left with an implicit expectation that updates will always come from the main thread, but without the compiler’s help in enforcing that rule. This also ties into the concept of local reasoning that was emphasized in other Swift 6 talks (e.g. Beyond the basics of structured concurrency). With @MainActor, I can look at a view model and immediately know that all of its state is main-actor isolated. With only @Observable, that guarantee is left out, which feels like it weakens the clarity that Swift 6 is trying to promote. Would it be considered a best practice in Swift 6 to use both @Observable and @MainActor for UI-facing view models? Or is the intention that SwiftUI developers should rely on calling context to ensure main-thread updates, even if that means the compiler cannot enforce isolation? Thanks!

I have some apps using SwiftData document based. They work as expected under iOS17, but not under iOS18: install the app on a iPad 11 pro (first gen) from my MacBook open the app and open an existing fils (perfect under iOS17) it shows a blank, white screen, no data I can create a new document, blank screen, no data When I open that newly created file on a iOS 17 iPad pro, it works perfect, as expected The apps were created from scratch under macOS 14.7 with the corresponding Xcode/Swift/UI version. iOS devices under iOS17 Are there any known problems with document based SwiftData-apps under iOS18, are there any changes one has to made? Thank You so much for any help!
