I’m developing an app that includes a navigation bar with a centered title and a single right bar button item. I’ve noticed that when both the navigation bar title and the right bar button item’s title are relatively long, the navigation bar title becomes hidden.
This issue only occurs on iOS 26. When running the same code on iOS 18, the layout behaves as expected, with both elements visible.
Has anyone else experienced this behavior on iOS 26? Is this a known layout change or a possible bug?

Bonjour à tous, je voudrais savoir comment avance mon dossier sur les applications que j’ai créé,comment puis-je faire? Et sinon quelqu’un connaît-il la Durée exacte quand APPLE envoie le code de vérification pour mes applicationà!???
I'm working to emulate the Activity Rings featured in Apple's Fitness app.
Here's a copy of what's in the swift file so far.

import SwiftUI
struct ProgressRingPrototype: View {
@State var progress = 0.00
let size: CGSize
let thickness: CGFloat
var color: Color?
var gradientColors: [Color]?
var body: some View {
let color = color ?? .primary
ZStack {
RingPrototype(
size: self.size,
thickness: self.thickness,
color: color.opacity(0.2)
)
let gradient = AngularGradient(
colors: gradientColors ?? [.primary, .secondary],
center: .center
)
let style = StrokeStyle(
lineWidth: 32,
lineCap: .round
)
Circle()
.trim(from: 0, to: progress)
.stroke(gradient, style: style)
.rotationEffect(.degrees(-90))
.frame(width: size.width, height: size.height)
}
.onAppear {
DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 1) {
withAnimation(.easeInOut(duration: 1)) {
progress = 0.75
}
}
}
}
}
#Preview {
ZStack {
ProgressRingPrototype(
progress: 0.1,
size: CGSize(width: 256, height: 256),
thickness: CGFloat(32),
color: .primary
)
ProgressRingPrototype(
progress: 0.1,
size: CGSize(width: 190, height: 190),
thickness: CGFloat(32),
color: .primary
)
ProgressRingPrototype(
progress: 0.1,
size: CGSize(width: 124, height: 124),
thickness: CGFloat(32),
color: .primary
)
}
}
Here's a snapshot of the live preview.
I'm experiencing an issue where the trailing line cap generated by the stroke exceeds the start angle of the angular gradient, which creates an ugly artifact at 0 degrees.
Anyone have a solution to this problem?

Dear Developer, Is there a way to create a function to search with inside a text without having to be outside all of the messages? In other words, could I go into one of my contact’s texts and then search specifically inside that message as can be done on Android? This would be such an amazing function And make life so much easier. Thank you.
I have many Apple devices, such as macbook, iPad and iPhone. It's very convenient for me to transfer files between devices. However, when I want to send files to my own device in public places, I often click on the wrong recipient because the list avatar keeps changing. I hope the list of recipients can be grouped One group is my own device (or the one I often send to), and the other group is other devices. When the user is about to send, the mouse will be in a relatively fixed and mentally expected area. I feel that this can reduce the probability of sending wrongly
In the clock app when making an alarm for myself to wake up, I found this bug where If you swipe left On an alarm without deleting it and then Swipe right it does a goofy visual glitch where it teleports to the top of your screen.
I have an iPad developed using UIKit and storyboards now I have to develop UI for iPhone. Designs for iPhone app are completely new from iPad app also navigation is different. I have question regarding should I make different view controllers for iPhone and iPad and different storyboard
I've made the code in xcode for apple watch with 2 swift view (contentView.swift and interfaceController.swift).The swift for sound and haptic feedback is in InterfaceController.swift. But the the sound does not appear with haptic feedback in apple watch after complete the xcode.
the app is done but no sound appear with haptic feedback when rotate apple watch digital crown. when crown rotated but sound appear
code
import WatchKit
import AVFoundation
import WatchKit
class InterfaceController: WKInterfaceController {
// ... your UI elements
func playSelectionHapticAndSound() {
// Play a haptic feedback pattern
WKInterfaceDevice.current().play(.success)
// Load and play a selection sound effect

In Apple Vision Pro, I want to implement a HUD page similar to the one in Medivis' SuricalAR product (i.e. the UI is fixed on the screen field of view rather than in space). How should I do it?
I'm developing an iPadOS 18+ application that uses a UITabBarController, styled as a sidebar, to serve as the primary navigation interface. This setup includes 20 different tabs, each representing a distinct section of the app.
For the user experience, each tab needs to present a master-detail interface, implemented using a UISplitViewController. The goal is to allow users to navigate between tabs via the sidebar, and within each tab, access related content through the split view's list-detail pattern.
The Problem:
Currently, my implementation involves instantiating a separate UISplitViewController for each tab, resulting in 20 unique split view instances embedded inside the UITabBarController. While this works functionally, it leads to significant memory usage, especially after the user opens each tab at least once. The accumulation of all these instantiated view controllers in memory eventually causes performance degradation or even memory warnings/crashes on lower-end iPads.
The Question:
What is the best approach to implement this type of architecture without running into memory management issues?
Specifically:
Is there a way to reuse or lazily load the UISplitViewController instances only when needed?
Can we unload or release split view controllers that haven't been used for a while to reduce memory pressure?
Would a custom container controller be more appropriate than using UITabBarController in this case?
Are there iPadOS 18+ best practices or newer APIs that support this kind of complex multi-tab, multi-split-view structure efficiently?
Any advice on how to optimize memory usage while preserving the sidebar navigation and split view layout would be highly appreciated.
I have a subscription group with two individual subscriptions configured but when trying to load the SubscriptionStoreView I get the error:
"Subscription Unavailable: The subscription is unavailable in the current storefront."
When I try to load the ProductView, it appears to be stuck in a loading screen. I am running the app on a device that is signed into a sandbox account. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Feedback for iPhone and iPad – Display Technology
Dear Apple Team,
Currently, the mainstream display technology used in iPhone and iPad is OLED. However, OLED panels produce significant PWM flickering, which strongly irritates the human eye. Many users, especially in China, experience eye strain, tearing, and discomfort after using OLED devices for a period of time.
There is a large group of users here who are highly sensitive to screen flicker and therefore cannot use OLED-based devices at all. What they truly need is an eye-friendly device with either LCD or flicker-free Mini-LED display technology.
I sincerely recommend that Apple consider offering iPhone and iPad models with LCD or Mini-LED panels. Such displays could provide better eye comfort, no flicker, and a healthier experience. Currently, almost no smartphone manufacturers in China provide such options, and even if they do, their devices often come with outdated chipsets and cannot be used as a reliable daily driver.
This presents a valuable opportunity for Apple: by addressing this demand, Apple could attract a unique customer base, increase sales, and even justify a slightly higher price, as many customers would be willing to pay more for the sake of their eye health. In the Chinese market, a truly flicker-free iPhone or iPad would be incredibly rare and highly desired.
Thank you for considering this suggestion. I truly hope Apple will take this into account.

Hi everyone, I'm currently working on my own Apple TV app. So far, things are going pretty well, but right now, I'm stuck on the design of the categories or selection menus.
Here's a screenshot of how it looks right now:
The green color and the border are intentionally added for now so I can see what is where. My actual goal is to remove the gray bar (or is this the "main bar"?). The pink bar and its border are just design elements that can be removed if needed. I want it to look more "original," like this:
Here is the code:
let title: String
let isSelected: Bool
var body: some View {
HStack {
Text(title)
.foregroundColor(isSelected ? .black : .white)
.font(.system(size: 22, weight: .regular))
.padding(.leading, 20)
Spacer()
Image(systemName: "chevron.right")
.foregroundColor(isSelected ? .black : .gray)
.padding(.trailing, 20)
}
.frame(height: 50) // Einheitliche Höhe für die Kategorien
.background(Color.pink) // Innerer Hintergrund auf pink gesetzt
.cornerRadius(10) // Abrundung direkt auf den Hintergrund anwenden
.overlay(
RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 10)
.stroke(Color.green, lineWidth: 3) // Äußerer Rahmen auf grün gesetzt
)
.padding(.horizontal, 0) // Entferne äußere Ränder
.background(Color.clear) // Entferne alle anderen Hintergründe
}
}
struct SettingsView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
static var previews: some View {
SettingsView()
}
}
I’ve adjusted the code, but it’s still not quite right. When a category is not selected, it appears black instead of gray, like in the original design
Here is the code:
struct SettingsView: View {
@State private var selectedCategory: String?
var body: some View {
NavigationStack {
ZStack {
Color.black
.edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.all)
VStack(spacing: 0) {
// Überschrift oben in der Mitte
Text("Einstellungen")
.font(.system(size: 40, weight: .semibold))
.foregroundColor(.white)
.padding(.top, 30)
HStack {
// Linke Seite mit Logo
VStack {
Spacer()
Image(systemName: "applelogo")
.resizable()
.scaledToFit()
.frame(width: 120, height: 120)
.foregroundColor(.white)
Spacer()
}
.frame(width: UIScreen.main.bounds.width * 0.4)
// Rechte Seite mit Kategorien
VStack(spacing: 15) {
ForEach(categories, id: \.self) { category in
NavigationLink(
value: category,
label: {
SettingsCategoryView(
title: category,
isSelected: selectedCategory == category
)
}
)
.buttonStyle(PlainButtonStyle())
}
}
.frame(width: UIScreen.main.bounds.width * 0.5)
}
}
}
.navigationDestination(for: String.self) { value in
Text("\(value)-Ansicht")
.font(.title)
.foregroundColor(.white)
.navigationTitle(value)
}
}
}
private var categories: [String] {
["Allgemein", "Benutzer:innen und Accounts", "Video und Audio", "Bildschirmschoner", "AirPlay und HomeKit", "Fernbedienungen und Geräte", "Apps", "Netzwerk", "System", "Entwickler"]
}
}
struct SettingsCategoryView: View {
let title: String
let isSelected: Bool
var body: some View {
HStack {
Text(title)
.foregroundColor(.white)
.font(.system(size: 22, weight: .medium))
.padding(.leading, 20)
Spacer()
Image(systemName: "chevron.right")
.foregroundColor(.gray)
.padding(.trailing, 20)
}
.frame(height: 50) // Einheitliche Höhe für die Kategorien
.background(isSelected ? Color.gray.opacity(0.3) : Color.clear) // Hervorhebung des ausgewählten Elements
.cornerRadius(8) // Abgerundete Ecken
.scaleEffect(isSelected ? 1.05 : 1.0) // Fokus-Animation
.animation(.easeInOut, value: isSelected)
}
}
struct SettingsView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
static var previews: some View {
SettingsView()
}
}
Hello Apple… used to love my phone and your company… not so much with this God awful new emoji update… Just why? They are giant, we can see them from Alaska, the whole Keyboard is not user friendly at all. It takes me (and reading the feedback from other people - Im not the only one with this problem) ages to find the one I want to use, even with the group icons on the bottom… no, they don’t help. I always ether miss type or just don’t use at all. It takes extra time to use emoji now so I completely stopped using it which sucks. It’s 2025 where time is precious and no one wants to spend extra seconds looking for emojis on this awful new layout you created. Apple developers used to be good about listing to users feedback, I hope you do it in this case, because this is just absolutely terrible and no, you can’t get used to it. I never write reviews anywhere and thought it would take a bit to get used to it… no no and no. This update is awful, please bring it back to normal size so we don’t waste our time and nerves. Thanks.
I've been playing around with the recently published iPad PRO M5 13" and it's awesome in most ways I've been able to think of. But this video capture of the app I'm developing, for example, lacks it the app icon "should" be just slightly translucent as I see it.

However I'm not and UI/X person and this is primarily my personal preference only for an option to allow for devs.
I have really examined the swipe left Camera function mode and sincerely believe it is no more important especially when there no option in the settings to turn it on or off.
I will highly recommend a total scrap in the iOS 26 or if possible a function to activate and deactivate it.
Hi,
App Image: What is the best format - jpg, tiff, giff, psd or ai?
What is the maximum and minimum number of items the app can contain?
Please advise.
Thanks
