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) } }

In SwiftUI for macOS, how can I animate the transition from one Tab to another Tab within TabView when the selection changes? In AppKit, we can do the following: let tabViewController = NSTabViewController() tabViewController.transitionOptions = [.crossfade, .allowUserInteraction] How can I achieve the same crossfade effect when using TabView?

Dear all, Sorry if the topic has already been commented but I could not be able to find it in over 10,000 picks using the forum search field... My problem is that with any NSTextField in my app, a click will result in a memory leak. There is no code attached, just bindings to NSNumber properties. How can I fix this ? Thanks for your help. Best regards Chris

Hi everyone, we’d appreciate your input on the following use case – thanks in advance! In our iPhone and Apple Watch app, we’re using the NearbyInteraction API to measure the distance between both devices via UWB. Setup: On the iPhone, we start a LiveActivity together with the NISession, to keep the ranging active in the background. ✅ Good news: On iOS 18.4, this works as expected – the NISession stays active in the background as long as the Live Activity is running. Current issues: As soon as the Watch app moves to the background, ranging seems to pause and is eventually terminated. → Question 1: Is there a way to keep the NISession active on the Watch when the app goes into the background? Audio playback from background not working: We'd like to trigger audio playback when certain distance changes are detected. So far, we can only trigger haptic feedback in the background – audio does not play. → Question 2: Is it possible to play audio (e.g. using AVAudioPlayer) while a NISession and a LiveActivity are running in the background? We’d be grateful for any advice or best practices for this combination. Thanks and best regards!

I have a DocumentGroup working with a FileDocument, and that's fine. However, when someone creates a new document I want them to have to immediately save it. This is the behavior on ipadOS and iOS from what I can understand (you select where before the file is created). There seems to be no way to do this on macOS? I basically want to have someone: create a new document enter some basic data hit "create" which saves the file then lets the user start editing it (1), (2), and (4) are done and fairly trivial. (3) seems impossible, though...? This really only needs to support macOS but any pointers would be appreciated.

This is a bug report. FB17433985 The layout of the following ContentView appears correctly when it is outside a NavigationStack. However, when the same view is placed inside a NavigationStack, the layout breaks. It seems that the width of the List is being affected by the width of the buttonsView, which exceeds the screen width. In my testing, this issue occurs on iOS 18.4 and later, but does not occur on iOS 18.2 or iOS 17.5. Workaround I found: Remove the fixed width modifier from the Button If anyone knows of other ways to resolve this issue without affecting the layout, I would appreciate it if you could share them. import SwiftUI let values = (1...100).map { $0 } let buttonTitles = (1...9).map { "Button\($0)" } struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { VStack { List { Section { ForEach(values.indices, id: \.self) { val in HStack { Text("Index: \(val)") } } } } buttonsView } } private var buttonsView: some View { HStack { ForEach(0..<buttonTitles.count, id: \.self) { index in Button() { } label: { Image(systemName: "square.and.arrow.up") .resizable() .frame(width: 48, height: 48) } } } } } @main struct ButtonShapeBugApp: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { if true { NavigationStack { ContentView() } } else { ContentView() } } } } Environment: Xcode Version 16.3 (16E140) iPhone 18.4.1 real device iPhone SE3rd 18.4 simulator Expect layout Broken layout(9 buttons) Broken layout(10 buttons)

I have an app with two file types with the following extensions: gop (an exported type), sgf (an imported type). The Save command fails after the following sequence of events: I open a gop file, say the file "A.gop". I save this file as an sgf file, say "A.sgf". This Save As works perfectly and the document name in the document’s title bar has changed to "A.sgf". I change something in the document and then try to Save this change. This should just resave the document to "A.sgf", but "A.sgf" remains untouched. Instead I get a system alert with the message The document “A.sgf” could not be saved. A file with the name “A.gop” already exists. To save the file, either provide a different name, or move aside or delete the existing file, and try again. In the Xcode console I get the following diagnostic: NSFileSandboxingRequestRelatedItemExtension: an error was received from pboxd instead of a token. Domain: NSPOSIXErrorDomain, code: 2 [NSFileCoordinator itemAtURL:willMoveToURL:] could not get a sandbox extension. oldURL: file:///Users/francois/Desktop/A.sgf, newURL: file:///Users/francois/Desktop/A.gop The problem seems to relate to the sandbox. But I am at a loss to find a solution. (After closing the alert, I check that A.sgf did not register the change.) If I open an sgf file, say "B.sgf", save it as "B.gop", make a change in the document and then try to save this change (into "B.gop"), I hit the same problem, with "gop" and "sgf" interchanged. If, instead of saving "A.gop" as "A.sgf", I save it as "B.sgf", make a change in the document and then try to save this change into "B.sgf", I get the following system alert: The document “B.sgf” could not be saved. You don’t have permission. To view or change permissions, select the item in the Finder and choose File &gt; Get Info. And in the Xcode console I get the following diagnostic: NSFileSandboxingRequestRelatedItemExtension: an error was received from pboxd instead of a token. Domain: NSPOSIXErrorDomain, code: 2 [NSFileCoordinator itemAtURL:willMoveToURL:] could not get a sandbox extension. oldURL: file:///Users/francois/Desktop/B.sgf, newURL: file:///Users/francois/Desktop/B.gop Again the sandbox ! (After closing the alert, I check that B.sgf did not register the change.) It’s clear my code is missing something, but what?

When I transitioned my document project to iOS 18.4 from iOS 17.4, the DocumentGroup's closure runs twice both on device, and simulator. This means that if this closure runs say ContentView(document:), it does this twice in iOS 18.4 (probably 18.x). This project uses FileDocument I created a new document project from the document app template, and it exhibits the same double load behavior in iOS 18.4, and single load behavior in iOS 17.4. Both tests are run in the simulator. Does this behavior reflect a semantic requirement where the app should be able to work with multiple document loads, or is this a bug in the document system. Compiling with Swift 5 or Swift 6 for iOS 18.4. The template provided FileDocument adopted document is used with no changes. ...App.swift: import SwiftUI @main struct Double_Document_Start_ProblemApp: App { var body: some Scene { DocumentGroup(newDocument: Double_Document_Start_ProblemDocument()) { file in ContentView(document: file.$document) } } } =========================== ContentView.swift: import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { static private var startCount: Int = 0 @Binding var document: Double_Document_Start_ProblemDocument var body: some View { Text(document.text) .onAppear { Self.startCount += 1 // GDEBUG print("Text start: \(Self.startCount).") } //TextEditor(text: $document.text) } } #if false #Preview { ContentView(document: .constant(Double_Document_Start_ProblemDocument())) } #endif =========================== Copy/paste of console output: Text start: 1. Text start: 2. ===========================

Hi, Im new to SwiftUI and Im trying to implement some drag and drop functionality for some tabs in my application. Im using .draggable(_) and .dropDestination for this and the issue I have is that as I drag the view, the mouse cursor changes to the copy cursor with the green plus sign and I don't like it but I can't figure out how to avoid it. Any help would be appreciated.

In my CarPlay app, I am hiding the navigation bar by using the following: self.mapTemplate?.automaticallyHidesNavigationBar = true self.mapTemplate?.hidesButtonsWithNavigationBar = false I don't want the navigation bar to show unless a user interacts with the map by tapping it. Strangely, when I present a CPNavigationAlert the navigation bar will often appear and then disappear after the alert is dismissed. Is there a setting or reason that the navigation bar would be appearing when presenting this alert? I would like to keep the nav bar hidden during this time.

Take a look at this simple code: import Cocoa import SwiftUI struct DemoView: View { var body: some View { Text("Click me!") .onTapGesture { print("Clicked") } } } class FlippedView: NSView { override var isFlipped: Bool { return true } } class ViewController: NSViewController { override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() let stackView = NSStackView() stackView.orientation = .vertical stackView.alignment = .leading stackView.spacing = 0 stackView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false let hostView = NSHostingView(rootView: DemoView()) stackView.addArrangedSubview(hostView) let scrollView = NSScrollView() scrollView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false let flippedView = FlippedView() flippedView.addSubview(stackView) scrollView.documentView = flippedView view.addSubview(scrollView) NSLayoutConstraint.activate([ scrollView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.topAnchor), scrollView.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.leadingAnchor), scrollView.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.trailingAnchor), scrollView.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.bottomAnchor), ]) } } I need my scroll view to start at the very top, so i put it inside a flipped document view. But now .onTapGesture does not fire.

Pasting either plain or styled text into any TextEditor results in a memory leak. import SwiftUI struct EditorView: View { @State private var inputText: String = "" var body: some View { VStack{ TextEditor(text: $inputText) .frame(minHeight: 150) } } }

UITextField The input space cursor is gone

I have a simple Picker where the options available change by the view state. I would like to have the transition animated but the default animation is not good so I tried setting a .transition() and or an .animation() inside an item on the picker but it is ignored. The same happens if the transition is set on the picker itself since it's always present. Am I doing it right and is just not posible or is there something else to do? Code to reproduce the issue: struct ContentView: View { @State var list: [String] = [ "Item 4", "Item 5", "Item 6", "Item 7", "Item 8", ] @State var selected: String? @State var toggle: Bool = false var body: some View { VStack { Picker("List", selection: $selected) { ForEach(list, id: \.self) { Text($0).tag($0) // .transition(.opacity) } } .pickerStyle(.segmented) // .transition(.opacity) HStack { Button(action: swapOptions) { Text("Swap") } } } .padding() } } extension ContentView { func swapOptions() { withAnimation { toggle.toggle() switch toggle { case true: list = [ "Item 1", "Item 2", "Item 3", "Item 4", "Item 5", ] case false: list = [ "Item 4", "Item 5", "Item 6", "Item 7", "Item 8", ] } } } } ``

I want use SensorKit data for research purposes in my current app. I have applied for and received permission from Apple to access SensorKit Data. I have granting all the necessary permissions.

I am working on implementing a new Intents UI Extension and have noticed that when it is triggered via the "Hey Siri" voice command, the intent dismisses after a few seconds. However, if it is launched from the Shortcuts app, the intent remains active and does not dismiss automatically. Additionally, I’ve observed that this behavior occurs on specific iOS versions, such as 17.5.1 or 17.7. On other versions, like 17.4.1 or 18.4, the intent persists as expected. Does Siri automatically close the intent based on its own logic? Could the iOS version be influencing this behavior? Given the requirement to make the intent persistent, is there any option or configuration available to achieve this?

After my XCode was upgraded to 16.2, the custom bottom tabbar of iPadAPP could not be displayed properly (I set "traitOverrides.horizontalSizeClass = .compact", otherwise the tabbar would be displayed at the top and it was not the style I wanted) Below are my code and pictures of the running effects of iOS17 and iOS18 override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() setValue(CustomTabBar(), forKey: "tabBar") if #available(iOS 18.0, *) { self.mode = .tabBar self.traitOverrides.horizontalSizeClass = .compact } } } class CustomTabBar: UITabBar { var leftView = UIView() var rightView = UIView() override func sizeThatFits(_ size: CGSize) -> CGSize { var sizeThatFits = super.sizeThatFits(size) sizeThatFits.height = 60 // 自定义高度 return sizeThatFits } override func layoutSubviews() { super.layoutSubviews() self.backgroundColor = .red addSubview(leftView) addSubview(rightView) leftView.backgroundColor = .green leftView.frame = CGRect(x: 10, y: 4, width: 80, height: 40) rightView.backgroundColor = .green rightView.frame = CGRect(x: 600, y: 4, width: 80, height: 40) } } ![]("https://developer.apple.com/forums/content/attachment/66988297-26dc-4b40-af37-103f6a277563" "title=20250409151648.jpg;width=2394;height=1716")

Hi, I'm working on RealityView and I have two entities in RCP. In order to set views for both entities, I have to create two separate attachments for each entity. What I want to achieve is that when I hover (by eye) on one entity's attachment, it would trigger the hover effect of the other entity's attachment. I try to use the hoverEffectGroup, but it would only activate the hover effect in a subview, instead a complete separate view. I refer to the following WWDC instruction for the hover effect. https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2024/10152/

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!
