I see the logo all over the internet, but the only Official logo I can find is the swift logo, the orange one, but the blue one I do not see a place to download it nor the usage guidelines. I have seen it on various Icon site like Icon8. I would like to use it on my reddit forum that is dedicated to SwiftUI but I want to be legal. Is it allowed to use and if so, where can you download the official verison?

Objective: Identify and fix the issue to allow the application to run correctly.
Hi,
I was trying to use macOS-Sequoia-Production-Templates in Sketch format and when I try to export png icon file of the document template, it always includes grey nontransparent background which I am unable to delete. In contrast, exporting png app icon file from another template has transparent background and exports well.
Is it something wrong with the document icon production template? How can I export document png icon file with transparent background??
Thanks
Helvetica (17.0d1e1) has bugs, hopefully the developers and designers will fix it.

Hi,
I want to generate some sample datas for demonstrating the functions of my app when the app launched. My codes are as followings:
func generateSampleData() {
let hasLaunchedKey = "HasLaunchedBefore"
let defaults = UserDefaults.standard
if !defaults.bool(forKey: hasLaunchedKey) {
//generate the demo data
}
defaults.set(true, forKey: hasLaunchedKey)
}
And I put the func in a view's onAppear modifier. I found every time I go the view, it generates the demo data again, which results in producing a lot of demo data. But I have set the status of the function running in the userdefault. Why did it happen?
Best Wishes,
I am creating a Generate note app but I don't see the text in the button when I applied the MeshGradient. I removed the Mesh Gradient and text is there. Need some help to find the issue. I am new to app Development and I am learning how to use it. Below is the code:
import SwiftUI
struct ContentView: View {
@State private var inputText: String = ""
@State private var isLoading: Bool = false
var body: some View {
ZStack {
Color(.systemGray6).edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.all)
VStack (spacing: 20) {
Text("Generate Notes")
.font(.title)
.fontWeight(.bold)
.frame(maxWidth: .infinity, alignment: .leading)
Text("Transform your thoughts into well-structured notes using artificial intelligence.")
.font(.subheadline)
.foregroundStyle(.secondary)
.frame(maxWidth: .infinity, alignment: .leading)
TextEditor(text: $inputText)
.frame(height: 200)
.padding()
.background(RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 16)
.fill(Color(.systemGray6)))
Button(action: {}) {
HStack {
if isLoading {
ProgressView()
.tint(.white)
} else {
Image(systemName: "sparkles")
}
Text(isLoading ? "Generating..." : "Generate Notes")
}
.padding()
.frame(maxWidth: .infinity)
.background(
MeshGradient(width: 3, height: 3, points: [
.init(0, 0), .init(0.5, 0), .init(1, 0),
.init(0, 0.5), .init(0.5, 0.5), .init(1, 0.5),
.init(0, 1), .init(0.5, 1), .init(1, 1)
], colors: [
.blue, .purple, .indigo,

])
)

I have been battling the new Icon Composer app for 2 days trying to build an app icon. However, I cannot get it to import any files. I have used the Apple provided App Icon Template. I have exported my layers to .svg and when I open the finder, everything is disabled. I can't find help for this anywhere. I am on Sequoia on my Mac and not sure how to design this app icon without access to the composer.
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
I have an ongoing activity in progress.
Think of:
a delivery in progress
house internet reboot in progress
some water / electricity / internet / tv outage.
(food) order processing
I want to show a persistent toast message above the tab bar, across all tabs and screens across the app. It could take 15 minutes until the activity is finished.
Obviously there's a challenge of:
accessibility
content overlaying with each other
extra engineering effort.
What we've thought of doing is:
Option1: show a toast message, but when a modal is presented then it presents on top of the toast message. The toast message no longer updates itself. Once the modal is finished, then the toast message re-appears and continues to update.
Option2: keep the toast message across all tabs and modals and work through the challenges mentioned
Question:
What are some other design approaches that could be taken to persist an ongoing activity (much like 'Live Activity', but just across the app when it's in foreground) or what are some design reasons that the two options considered are bad?
Hey there! I'd love to know if theres a way where you can animate items between ZStack and VStacks? Just like the native iOS notifications on the Lockscreen stack at the bottom and if tapped, they convert from a Stack to a List - I have a list with items, displayed in a VStack, and I make the list collapsable when swiping down, where the items stack behind eachother with a progresisve reduction in opacity & scale, but I havent figured out a way to animate the items between the list and the stack - where you can visually see items starting to overlap and stack ontop of eachother when collapsing the list.

I couldn't help noticing that the Maps and Find My apps make extensive use of "sheets stacked on top of each other" to represent its navigation hierarchy, with a "new content comes in from the bottom" orientation instead of a navigation stack with
"new content comes in from the right side" oriented transitions.
I'm interested in this topic because I have a similar navigation-hierarchy-over-a-map case in my app (with a custom map view though) and I'm torn back and forth between the approach of replicating the "stacked sheets" vs. putting a navigation stack in a sheet, esp. with the navstack approach being way more attainable with the iOS 26 glass design.
I couldn't find any guidance for this kind of UI in the Human Interface Guidelines; I'm leaning towards the navstack-approach for my app; but in terms of the behavior of the SwiftUI container views in this scenario it seems a little bit of an uphill path.
Any thoughts on what pattern should be preferred for presenting a deep navigational hierarchy on top of a map-like view?
I have an app that displays a MapView. While I am in light mode everything is fine. I can scroll around the map and my overlays (made by UIVisualEffectView containing an UIGlassEffect) stay light and look well!
As soon as I change my phone to dark mode, depending on what's underneath the buttons (a light residential area or darker wooded areas) some of my buttons change color. But not all, only where it's supposedly lighter or darker underneath. This makes my whole UI look strange. Some buttons bright, some dark.
Is there a way to lock a "color" or interfaceStyle to the effects-view? In light mode everything is fine, but in dark mode it just looks super strange.
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.
Here is my code and the error code being generated during build.
let myString : String = "https://www.alphavantage.co/query?function=TIME_SERIES_DAILY&symbol=AAPL&apikey= D5GY7HKODE66G0T9"
var banjo = URL(string: myString)
let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with:banjo ) { myDatastring , response , error in}
// task.resume()
I've tested that URL in my browser and it works. But when I try to build I get: Value of optional type 'URL?' must be unwrapped to a value of type 'URL'
Please tell me what I'm doing wrong. I think the URL struct is not returning a URL type of object.
Hey, everyone. I'm having an issue with my modal shadows when building for macOS. I've attached an image to show you what's going on.
I have a rounded corner window, and when the In-App Purchase overlay opens, the modal shadow of that rounded window is square (which doesn't make sense, and looks bad).
Can somebody please help me address this? I've tried searching high and low for a solution but I can't find anything :-(
I really appreciate you taking a look! -Logan
The brand new animation in Stage Manager greatly reduced dizziness. However, don’t know why it ONLY applies when no window was presented. What would be the problem elsewhere?
Stage Manager is one of pretty few motion pictures that annoyed me and forced me to turn on Reduce Motion, or stop using Stage Manager. Big pity…

Your app still contains features that mimic the iOS interface or behavior.
I have a simple app that uses a NavigationSplitView 3 panels
I have a section for Filters and User created Categories in Panel 1
A list of "Requests" from the selected Filters/Categories in Panel 2
and details of a request in Panel 3
It's designed to be simple and easy to use. How can it NOT "mimic the iOS interface" if I am using their own APIs?
What should I do to get around this

ello there. I just installed IOS 26 on my iPhone 15 Pro Max. But i think i found a Bug with a Widget where you have an overview of all devices and their battery. In IOS 18 when we used the Dark Theme (Dark Icons etc.) this widget was dark aswell (look at the picture) and now in IOs everything is dark except this widget. Its kinda annoying…
