I've been experimenting with Liquid Glass quite a bit and watched all the WWDC videos. I'm trying to create a glassy segmented picker, like the one used in Camera: however, it seems that no matter what I do there's no way to recreate a truly clear (passthrough) bubble that just warps the light underneath around the edges. Both Glass.regular and Glass.clear seem to add a blur that can not be evaded, which is counter to what clear ought to mean. Here are my results: I've used SwiftUI for my experiment but I went through the UIKit APIs and there doesn't seem to be anything that suggests full transparency. Here is my test SwiftUI code: struct GlassPicker: View { @State private var selected: Int? var body: some View { ScrollView([.horizontal], showsIndicators: false) { HStack(spacing: 0) { ForEach(0..<20) { i in Text("Row \(i)") .id(i) .padding() } } .scrollTargetLayout() } .contentMargins(.horizontal, 161) .scrollTargetBehavior(.viewAligned) .scrollPosition(id: $selected, anchor: .center) .background(.foreground.opacity(0.2)) .clipShape(.capsule) .overlay { DefaultGlassEffectShape() .fill(.clear) // Removes a semi-transparent foreground fill .frame(width: 110, height: 50) .glassEffect(.clear) } } } Is there any way to achieve the above result or does Apple not trust us devs with more granular control over these liquid glass elements?

When navigationTransition returns through the return gesture, the original view disappears。 The same problem occurs when using the official example。 https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/enhancing-your-app-content-with-tab-navigation xcode Version 16.4 (16F6) macOS 15.5

I've been testing the safeAreaBar modifier to develop a custom tab bar. From my understanding, this should enable the .scrollEdgeEffectStyle to work with this bar, but I don't see any effect. Could you please clarify the difference between safeAreaBar and safeAreaInset?

I am using below code to change navigationBar bg colour, but the text is hidden in large title. It works fine in previous versions. Kindly refer below code and attached images. Code: override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) { super.viewWillAppear(animated) navigationController?.navigationBar.prefersLargeTitles = true navigationItem.largeTitleDisplayMode = .always let appearance = UINavigationBarAppearance() appearance.backgroundColor = UIColor( red: 0.101961, green: 0.439216, blue: 0.388235, alpha: 1.0 ) navigationController?.navigationBar.standardAppearance = appearance navigationController?.navigationBar.scrollEdgeAppearance = appearance navigationController?.navigationBar.compactAppearance = appearance } Referenced images:

[Submitted as FB18870294, but posting here for visibility.] In iOS 26 beta 3 (23A5287g), implicit animations no longer work when conditionally showing or hiding rows in a Form. Rows with Text or other views inside a Section appear and disappear abruptly, even when wrapped in withAnimation or using .animation() modifiers. This is a regression from iOS 18.5, where the row item animates in and out correctly with the same code. Repro Steps Create a new iOS App › SwiftUI project. Replace its ContentView struct with the code below Build and run on an iOS 18 device. Tap the Show Middle Row toggle and note how the Middle Row animates. Build and run on an iOS 26 beta 3 device. Tap the Show Middle Row toggle. Expected Middle Row item should smoothly animate in and out as it does on iOS 18. Actual Middle Row item appears and disappears abruptly, without any animation. Code struct ContentView: View { @State private var showingMiddleRow = false var body: some View { Form { Section { Toggle( "Show **Middle Row**", isOn: $showingMiddleRow.animation() ) if showingMiddleRow { Text("Middle Row") } Text("Last Row") } } } }

I am using a common UI pattern: UITabBarController as window root, each tab with a separate UINavigationController stack. I want the (bottom!) tab bar to be only visible when the user is at the root of the app and hide it when a detail page is opened. To do that, I used hidesBottomBarWhenPushed on any view controller that would be pushed on my navigation stacks and that worked fine in the past. But with iOS 26, I am seeing several issues: On iOS where when the bottom tab bar is used, when in a details page and navigating back, the tab bar becomes fully visible immediately instead of slowly animating in as it has been in the past. This is particular visible and annoying when using the "swipe to go back" gesture On iPad, the situation is even worse: On iPadOS 18, the tab bar appeared in the navigation controller's navigation bar - no matter if hidesBottomBarWhenPushed was set or not - fine. But now, with iPadOS 26, this top tab bar disappears when a child is pushed. Not only that, it disappears abruptly, without animation, and the Liquid Glass effect on the UIBarButtonItems is broken as well. There is no transition whatsoever, buttons are simply replaced with the new UIBarButtonItems of the pushed view controller once it became fully visible. It gets even worse when swipe-back navigating on iPadOS: As soon as the back transition starts, the tab bar becomes visible again (without animation), covering the title (view) of the UINavigationController. If the swipe-back transition is not completed the tab bar suddenly stays visible When the swipe-back transition is interrupted close to the end of the transition and it goes back to the pushed view controller, the top UIBarButtonItems are showing a visual glitch where the content (text or icon) stays on the area where the tab bar is, while their container (the glass effect) are on the vertically aligned to the title view. I am surprised that I have not found any similar reports of these problems, so I am wondering if I am doing anything wrong or using hidesBottomBarWhenPushed simply isn't recommended or supported any more.

I understand this is a known issue, but it’s truly unacceptable that it remains unresolved. Allowing users to customize toolbars is a fundamental macOS feature, and it has been broken since the release of macOS 15. How is it possible that this issue persists even in macOS 15.3 beta (24D5040f)?

In new window, click on "Toggle Item" """) } .padding() Button { showEditItem.toggle() } label: { Text("Toggle Item") } } .padding() .toolbar(id: "main") { ToolbarItem(id: "new") { Button { } label: { Text("New…") } } if showEditItem { ToolbarItem(id: "edit") { Button { } label: { Text("Edit…") } } } } } }

Summary I’m experiencing two issues with SwiftUI’s navigationTransition(.zoom) on iOS 26.0 and 26.1 that break previously smooth transitions. These issues appear both on real devices and Simulator. The same code works correctly on iOS 18. Issue 1 - Source View Disappears After Drag-Dismiss When using .navigationTransition(.zoom(sourceID:..., in:...)), the source view disappears completely after the transition finishes. This only happens when the detail view is dismissed via drag (interactive dismiss). When the view is dismissed by tapping the back button, the source view remains visible as expected. Reproduced on: iOS 26.0, iOS 26.0.1 (17A400), iOS 26.1 (Simulator + physical device) Issue 2 — Flickering and Geometry Mismatch During Transition Compared to iOS 18 behavior, the outgoing view and incoming view no longer share consistent geometry. Current behavior on iOS 26: The disappearing view flickers during the drag-dismiss interaction. The source and destination views no longer align geometrically. Instead of smoothly morphing as in previous iOS versions, the two views briefly overlap incorrectly before applying the zoom animation. Expected (iOS 18) behavior: Matched geometry between source and destination. Smooth, stable zoom transition with no flickering. // // ContentView.swift // DummyTransition // // Created by Sasha Morozov on 12/11/25. // import SwiftUI struct RectItem: Identifiable, Hashable { let id: UUID = UUID() let title: String let color: Color } struct ContentView: View { @Namespace private var zoomNamespace private let items: [RectItem] = [ RectItem(title: "Red card", color: .red), RectItem(title: "Blue card", color: .blue), RectItem(title: "Green card", color: .green), RectItem(title: "Orange card", color: .orange) ] var body: some View { NavigationStack { ScrollView { VStack(spacing: 16) { ForEach(items) { item in NavigationLink { DetailView(item: item, namespace: zoomNamespace) .navigationTransition( .zoom(sourceID: item.id, in: zoomNamespace) ) } label: { RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 16) .fill(item.color.gradient) .frame(height: 120) .overlay( Text(item.title) .font(.headline) .foregroundStyle(.white) ) .padding(.horizontal, 16) .matchedTransitionSource(id: item.id, in: zoomNamespace) } .buttonStyle(.plain) } } .padding(.vertical, 20) } .navigationTitle("Cards") } } } struct DetailView: View { let item: RectItem let namespace: Namespace.ID var body: some View { ZStack { item.color Text(item.title) .font(.largeTitle.bold()) .foregroundStyle(.white) } .ignoresSafeArea() .navigationTitle("Detail") .navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.inline) } } #Preview { ContentView() } Testing Environment MacBook Pro (2023, M2 Pro, 16 GB RAM) macOS 26.2 Beta (25C5031i) Xcode: Version 26.0.1 (17A400) Devices tested: Simulator (iOS 26.0 / 26.1) Physical device (iPhone 16) running iOS 26.1

I’m encountering an accessibility issue in SwiftUI related to keyboard navigation. 🐞 Problem When using an AttributedString to display Markdown content in a SwiftUI view (such as a Text view), any links included in the Markdown are not keyboard focusable when Full Keyboard Access is enabled. This means users can’t navigate to or activate the links using the Tab key or other keyboard-only methods. 💻 Platform iOS version: 16+ Framework: SwiftUI Device: All tested iPhones and iPads 🧪 Steps to Reproduce Enable Full Keyboard Access in iOS settings. Run the included SwiftUI Playground or equivalent app using the code below. Try to navigate to the link using Tab or keyboard arrow keys. Observe that the Markdown link is not reachable via keyboard focus. 🧩 Expected Behavior The Markdown link should be reachable via keyboard focus. It should be possible to activate the link using Space or Return. 📚 Example code struct ContentView: View { let attributedString: AttributedString init() { self.attributedString = try! AttributedString( markdown: "This is a [test link](https://apple.com) inside an attributed string." ) } var body: some View { VStack { Text("Issue: Attributed Markdown Link Is Not Focusable with full keyboard access") .font(.headline) .padding() Text(attributedString) // The link is not focusable with .padding() .border(Color.gray, width: 1) Text("Expected: The link should be focusable with Full Keyboard Access.") .foregroundColor(.red) .padding() } } }

Hello, I’ve encountered what seems to be a bug with the keyboard dismissal animation on iOS 26.0 Beta (25A5349a), Xcode Version 26.0 beta 5 (17A5295f). When dismissing the keyboard from a SwiftUI TextField using @FocusState, the keyboard does not animate downward as expected. Instead, it instantly disappears, which feels jarring and inconsistent with system behavior. I am attaching a short video demonstrating the issue. Below is the minimal reproducible code sample: // // ContentView.swift // TestingKeyboardDismissal // // Created by Sasha Morozov on 27/08/25. // import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @State private var text: String = "" @FocusState private var isFocused: Bool var body: some View { ZStack { Color.clear.ignoresSafeArea() VStack(spacing: 20) { TextField("Enter text here...", text: $text) .textFieldStyle(.roundedBorder) .focused($isFocused) .padding(.horizontal) HStack { Button("Focus") { isFocused = true } .buttonStyle(.borderedProminent) Button("Unfocus") { isFocused = false } .buttonStyle(.bordered) } } .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, maxHeight: .infinity, alignment: .center) .padding() } .ignoresSafeArea(.keyboard, edges: .bottom) } } #Preview { ContentView() } Steps to reproduce: Run** the app on iOS 26.0 beta 5 (17A5295f). Tap Focus → keyboard appears as expected. Tap Unfocus → keyboard disappears instantly without the usual slide-down animation. Expected result: Keyboard should animate smoothly downwards when dismissed. Actual result: Keyboard instantly vanishes without animation. p.s. we should be really able to upload videos here for demostration

Hello Apple Team, I’ve encountered a regression in iOS 26.1 when building my app with Xcode 26 (iOS 26 SDK). The issue affects PKPaymentButtonType.plain, which now renders as fully invisible and produces transparent snapshots, even though the same code worked correctly in previous Xcode/iOS versions. This has a real-world impact because many apps generate static images from PKPaymentButton for payment selection UIs using UIGraphicsImageRenderer, layer.render(in:), or custom snapshot utilities. When using PKPaymentButton(paymentButtonType: .plain, paymentButtonStyle: .black) on iOS 26.1, when built with Xcode 26, the button: Appears blank / invisible Cannot be snapshotted Produces a fully transparent UIImage, even though the CGImage object exists Behaves differently than older SDKs (Xcode 16.x / iOS < 26.1 This regression only appears when compiling with the new SDK. Other button types work fine. Expected Behavior .plain button should render glyphs as documented snapshot generated via UIGraphicsImageRenderer or drawHierarchy(in:) should produce a visible image Behavior should be consistent with older SDKs unless explicitly deprecated in release notes Expected Behavior .plain button should render glyphs as documented Snapshot generated via UIGraphicsImageRenderer or drawHierarchy(in:) should produce a visible image Behavior should be consistent with older SDKs unless explicitly deprecated in release notes Actual Behavior .plain button renders no glyph at all Snapshot image is fully transparent (alpha = 0), even though size and CGImage metadata are correct Only happens when built with Xcode 26 SDK Same build from Xcode 16.x does not reproduce the issue Steps to Reproduce Create a minimal sample project in Xcode 26 Add the following code: let button = PKPaymentButton(paymentButtonType: .plain, paymentButtonStyle: .black) button.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 180, height: 48) let renderer = UIGraphicsImageRenderer(size: button.bounds.size) let image = renderer.image { _ in button.drawHierarchy(in: button.bounds, afterScreenUpdates: true) } print(image) Run on iOS 26.1 device or simulator Observe that: The button appears visually empty The generated image is fully transparent Environment Xcode: 26.x (iOS 26 SDK) iOS: 26.1 (iPhone 15 Pro tested) Device: Real device Framework: UIKit + PassKit Button type: .plain ONLY Other types: .pay/.buy/.checkout = OK

We are using a TabView as the TabBarController in our app for main navigation. On one of the tabs we have a view that consists of a TabView with .tabViewStyle(.page) in order to scroll horizontally between pages inside of that specific tab. The .tabBarMinimizeBehavior(.onScrollDown) works on all the other TabItem views, but for this one it does not recognise any vertical scrolling in any of the pages, in order to minimize the TabBar. I believe this is a bug? If we don't wrap the views inside the TabView with .page style, we are able to get the expected behaviour using the tabBarMinimizeBehavior. Please let us know if this is going to be fixed in a future iOS 26 beta release.

Hi, I am running iOS Simulator on iOS 26 and I am trying to change unselectedItemTintColor of UITabBarItem in my TabBarViewController but it did not work when I tried following ways: Setting an iconColor through UITabBarAppearance() class Setting unselected item tint color like tabBar.unselectedItemTintColor = .black As an example attached file, I would like to set Settings tab's item color (icon + title) with different one when it is unselected.

I have a custom document-based iOS app that also runs on macOS. After implementing -activityItemsConfiguration to enable sharing from the context menu, I found that the app crashes on macOS when selecting Share… from the context menu and then selecting Save (i.e. Save to Files under iOS). This problem does not occur on iOS, which behaves correctly. - (id<UIActivityItemsConfigurationReading>)activityItemsConfiguration { NSItemProvider * provider = [[NSItemProvider alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:self.document.presentedItemURL]; UIActivityItemsConfiguration * configuration = [UIActivityItemsConfiguration activityItemsConfigurationWithItemProviders:@[ provider ]]; // XXX crashes with com.apple.share.System.SaveToFiles return configuration; } Additionally, I found that to even reach this crash, the workaround implemented in the NSItemProvider (FBxxx) category of the sample project is needed. Without this, the app will crash much earlier, due to SHKItemIsPDF() erroneously invoking -pathExtension on an NSItemProvider. This appears to be a second bug in Apple’s private ShareKit framework. #import <UniformTypeIdentifiers/UniformTypeIdentifiers.h> @implementation NSItemProvider (FBxxx) // XXX SHKItemIsPDF() invokes -pathExtension on an NSItemProvider (when running under macOS, anyway) -> crash - (NSString *)pathExtension { return self.registeredContentTypes.firstObject.preferredFilenameExtension; } @end Again, this all works fine on iOS (17.5) but crashes when the exact same app build is running on macOS (14.5). I believe these bugs are Apple's. Any idea how to avoid the crash? Is there a way to disable the "Save to Files" option in the sharing popup? I filed FB13819800 with a sample project that demonstrates the crash on macOS. I was going to file a TSI to get this resolved, but I see that DTS is not responding to tech support incidents until after WWDC.

How do we disable the new swipe left anywhere to navigate back? I already use that swipe motion for custom actions in my app.

Apparently now with iOS 26.1 if you have .tabViewBottomAccessory { } you get a pill shape floater all the time. That was not like that in 26.0.

After updating to Xcode 26 my XCUITests are now failing as during execution exceptions are being raised and caught by my catch all breakpoint These exceptions are only raised during testing, and seem to be referencing some private internal property. It happens when trying to tap a button based off an accessibilityIdentifier e.g. accessibilityIdentifier = "tertiary-button" ... ... app.buttons["tertiary-button"].tap() The full error is: Thread 1: "[<UIKit.ButtonBarButtonVisualProvider 0x600003b4aa00> valueForUndefinedKey:]: this class is not key value coding-compliant for the key _titleButton." Anyone found any workarounds or solutions? I need to get my tests running on the liquid glass UI

I have a macOS app made with SwiftUI where I want to show a list of data in a tabular fashion. SwiftUI Table seems to be the only built-in component that can do this. I would like to let the user size the columns and have their widths restored when the app is relaunched. I can find no documentation on how to do this and it does not seem to be saved and restored automatically. I can find no way to listen for changes in the column widths when the user resizes and no way to set the size from code. For a macOS app it seems that the only way to set the width of a column is to use e.g. .width(min: 200, max: 200). This in effect disables resizing of the column. It seems that idealSize is totally ignored on macOS. Any suggestions?
