I've been beating my head against the wall over a scrollview issue where the top and bottom are cut off in landscape mode. Portrait mode - everything runs swimmingly. The moment I flip the iPad on its side, though, I lose about a quarter of the view on the top and bottom. I thought this was something to do with framing or such; I ran through a myriad of frame, padding, spacer, geometry...I set it static, I set it to dynamically grow, I even created algorithms to try to figure out how to set things to the individual device. Eventually, I separated the tablet and phone views as was suggested here and on the Apple dev forums. That's when I started playing around with the background image. Right now I have.... ZStack { Image("background") .resizable() .scaledToFill() .ignoresSafeArea() ScrollView { VStack(spacing: 24) {.... The problem is the "scaledToFill". In essence, whenever THAT is in the code, the vertical scrollview goes wonky in landscape mode. It, in essence, thinks that it has much more room at the top and the bottom because the background image has been extended at top and bottom to fill the wider screen of the iPad in landscape orientation. Is there any way to get around this issue? The desired behavior is pretty straightforward - the background image fills the entire background, no white bars or such, and the view scrolls against it.

Hello Apple Developer Support, We initially uploaded our INRx App on a different Apple Developer account for internal testing purposes. Now, we would like to publish the same app under a new Apple Developer account for production, but we're currently facing a design-related rejection during the review process. We believe the app meets all guidelines, and there were no design issues flagged previously when submitted from the testing account. Could you please help us understand: Why the same app is now being rejected for design issues? Is there a way to resolve this while moving the app to the new account? Any advice or clarification would be greatly appreciated so we can successfully proceed with publishing. Thank you!

I can't find any documentation on design guidelines for "Login with Game Center" button. My app allows users to "Play as Guest" or "Login with Game Center". Since Apple provides somewhat strict guidelines for designing "Sign in with Apple" button, i was wondering how to design the button for Game Center login. Should i use Game Center icon. And will Apple review reject this?

I have completed a code with chatgpt and I am unising the latest version of code. i am also using an m1 MacBook air (2020). would love to know if anyone have resolved this issue. by using the ai to correct the code it disrupts it with something. an incorrect imoout line,but after multiple attempts ai get it right. I have notice that the code shows up on the start meaning run, take some time to load the intro page.

Hello, I used icon composer to create an icon for my Mac OS app and it seemed to have worked. I see the app icon everywhere except for window expose or stage manager. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

I found that on my cutomer's mac device, webflterproxyd start interferiing with the NE traffic. Tried to stop it, but "screen time" was not enabled at all. Who started this webfilterproxyd process and how to stop it?

Hello! I am developing an ebook reader iOS app that uses c/c++ codec as a page renderer. The codec uses TrueType as a font rendering engine that requires access to .ttf (or .ttc) files. Currently, I supply TrueType with fonts embedded in the app package, so they lay within the app sandbox. The codec supports the whole unicode plane and many languages that ebooks may use, but the fonts I supply don't have some of the important glyphs (i.e. katakana or hangul). I see that iOS has its own font storage, located in /System/Library/Fonts/ directory. The codec is able to parse this directory and read .ttf files located inside, using these fonts as a fallback in the case when the supplied fonts can't draw certain glyphs. I use opendir and fopen(in "rb" mode) as a way to read the data, and it works well. Does this type of access to the system directory violate the sandbox rule for an app distribution, and, if yes, is there a way to get access to stored .ttf files not violating the mentioned rule?

Hi everyone 👋 I’m a new iOS developer working on my first app and I’ve run into a frustrating visual bug involving my app icon during the launch/close transition. Issue: When I use Icon Composer (the new tool introduced for iOS 26) to generate my app icon, I consistently see a thin white border or “fringe” around the icon only during the transition animation (when the app opens or closes). It disappears once the animation ends. What I tested and confirmed: • I exported the exact same design directly from Adobe Illustrator as a 1024×1024 PNG, fully opaque, RGB color mode, background color filling the entire canvas (no transparency, no borders, no rounded corners). • When I place that exported PNG directly into the AppIcon asset catalog in Xcode, the icon renders perfectly — no white fringe appears, just a slightly darker shade of blue during transitions (expected and acceptable). • But when I generate the icon using Icon Composer, the white edge always appears, even if I disable effects, use full coverage layers, or only keep a flat color layer. Notes: • Tested on iOS 26 (latest beta) using Xcode 16. • The issue seems specific to Icon Composer’s export format or metadata — maybe it’s not stripping alpha correctly or something related to the squircle mask? • I followed all recommended specs: 1024×1024 px, PNG, sRGB, no transparency, exported from Illustrator at 72ppi with solid background. Even tested without the logo, just the icon made with icon composer Is anyone else experiencing this issue with Icon Composer exports? Is there an official recommendation to avoid this during transitions or should I simply avoid Icon Composer for production icons for now and stick with Illustrator / Figma exports? Thanks so much Here’s a visual example:

We're using StoreKit for in-app purchases on iOS, and our backend has the server notification URL configured. However, during subscription renewals, Apple's server doesn't send any requests to our endpoint. What could be causing this?

Hi, It would be sure if Apple creates a Fgima plug in to convert designs to SwiftUI, no one can do it like Apple and it would be SUPER and super time saving ! -- Kind Regards

In Apple Music I opened fullscreen for a song and I accidentally clicked some keys and the name and artist name of the song I was playing disappeared, and I can't figure out how to get it back, it temporarily comes back when I hover over the top bar but I can not get it to stay there permanently.

With iOS 26 the CPListSection header has a transparent background, and when the list scrolls under the header it doesn't look good at all. We expected to see a glass fading effect maybe, like the one on the top of the screen. Is it a known bug?

I've noticed that the App Store app tends to make the selected tab indicator darker on light mode and lighter on dark mode. Is there any easy way to ensure better legibility out of the box with Tab View (SwiftUI) when using the tint modifier with custom colors?

We are working on one of the projects for Hackathon for which we need to access the 3D Models of Apple Watch, it will help in making our project more realistic and effective, I wanted to know if we can get access for the same.

I recently submitted a new app for review, but it has been rejected multiple times for vague reasons. The most recent rejection reason I received was unclear, leaving me unsure of what improvements are needed to get the app approved for the App Store. Does anyone have any advice on how to address this? Additionally, to Apple reviewers: Could you please provide more detailed feedback to help developers improve their apps? The repeated review process takes a significant amount of time, and guessing what needs to be fixed without clear guidance makes it even more challenging. ################################# The latest rejection reason I got is: Guideline 4.0 - Design We noticed an issue in your app that contributes to a lower-quality user experience than App Store users expect: Your app included hard to read type or typography. Since App Store users expect apps to be simple, refined, and easy to use, we want to call your attention to this design issue so you can make the appropriate changes. Next Steps Please revise your app to address all instances of the issue identified above.

Is it possible to use the new variable draw feature for a custom SF Symbol without it leaving the background behind it when it is not drawn? I am trying to make a tally icon that is drawn with the variable draw, but it doesn't look good if the tally is visible in the background before it is drawn.

We all know that the feature “Always On Display” is available only on pro models. I checked in iPhone 14 Plus, that feature became visible in “Search” menu under “Settings”. If a user types “Displa”, then the search results show “Always On Display” as a result. When I click on that, it navigates inside “Display and Brightness” and we found no toggle for “Always On Display”. So, displaying the same on search result is a big bug which needs immediate attention from Apple. Users are getting confused whether iPhone 14 plus has that feature or not.. **Possible reason: ** I believe Apple releases iPhone OS versions in a single release each time and must be applying any kind of feature flagging to enable / disable a feature in a version or for a model. The feature flagging might not be working with Settings menu’s Search service or the code is not properly modular.

In the past, we had a red badge without a number on the app icon. We want to bring it back. Please provide instructions.

When we are going to have a real analog clock option on the lock screen. If an apple watch can do it surely its not that difficult. For someone who uses a clock to tell what time it isn't as opposed to what time it is, i’m constantly having to convert a digital image where the image of hands on a dial is so much easier. Surely this isnt because someone has forgotten how to read a clock

I created a data structure based on a dictionary of words. The purpose is to link each word to all other words made up of the same letters plus one. Example: table -> ablate, cablet, tabled, gablet, albeit, albite, etc. For this I built a data model made of three entities: Word, Draw, Link. A Draw is a set of letters corresponding to a Word and sorted in alphabetic order, like : HOUSE -> EHOSU. A Link is a letter that you add to a Draw to get another Draw. So my data model looks like this: And here is how I implemented it in Xcode: Entity Word (let's forget the attribute optComp that plays no role here) Entity Draw Entity Link I am populating the data in two steps: first I read a list of words from a .txt source and I populate the Word entity and at the same time the Draw entity with the corresponding relationship (function loadDic()) This first step apparently works fine. I can easily find all anagrams of any word with something like word.sort.word.spelling I read through the Draw entity. For each draw I seek all existing +1 draws considering each letter of the alphabet. If there are, I create a Link and add the relationships (function createLinks()) Here is where something goes wrong. If the Link's and the relationship Draw.plus seem to be correctly created, the other relationship Link.gives is only partially populated, say 50%. Moreover, I tried to apply an additional routine (updateLinks()) , focusing only on Link's with an empty Link.gives relationship and updating them. But again, only 50% of the nil relationships appear to be populated. I could not find out why those relationships are not properly populated. If someone can help me out I would be grateful. Here is the code: LoadDic() function (OK) : func loadDic() { print("Loading dictionary...") dataAlreadyLoaded.toggle() guard let url = Bundle.main.url(forResource: INPUT_FILE, withExtension: "txt") else { fatalError("\(INPUT_FILE).txt not found") } if let dico = try? String(contentsOf: url, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8 ) { let lines = dico.split(separator: "\r\n") for line in lines { let lineArray = line.split(separator: " ") print("\(lineArray[0])") // word let wordSorted = String(lineArray[0].sorted()) let draw = getDraw(drawLetters: wordSorted) ?? addDraw(drawLetters: wordSorted) // look if draw already exists, otherwise create new one. let wordItem = Word(context: viewContext) // create word entry with to-one-relationship to draw wordItem.spelling = String(lineArray[0]) wordItem.optComp = (Int(String(lineArray[1])) == 1) wordItem.sort = draw do { try viewContext.save() } catch { print("Errort saving ods9: \(error)") } } } print("Ods Chargé") } func addDraw(drawLetters: String) -> Draw { let newDraw = Draw(context: viewContext) newDraw.draw = drawLetters return(newDraw) } func getDraw(drawLetters: String) -> Draw? { let request: NSFetchRequest<Draw> = Draw.fetchRequest() request.entity = Draw.entity() request.predicate = NSPredicate(format: "draw == %@", drawLetters) do { let drw = try viewContext.fetch(request) return drw.isEmpty ? nil : drw[0] } catch { print("Erreur recherche Tirage") return nil } } createLinks() function (NOK): func createLinks() { var erreur = " fetch request <Draw>" let request: NSFetchRequest<Draw> = Draw.fetchRequest() request.entity = Draw.entity() request.predicate = NSPredicate(value: true) print("Building relationships...") do { let draws = try viewContext.fetch(request) count = draws.count for draw in draws { print("\(count) - \(draw.draw!)") linkTable.removeAll() for letter in ALPHABET { print(letter) let drawLettersPlus = String((draw.draw! + String(letter)).sorted()) // draw with one more letter if let drawPlus = draws.first(where: { $0.draw == drawLettersPlus }) { // look for Draw entity that matches augmented draw let linkItem = Link(context: viewContext) // if found, create new link based on letter with relationship to augmented draw linkItem.letter = String(letter) linkItem.gives = drawPlus erreur = " saving \(draw.draw!) + \(letter)" try viewContext.save() linkTable.append(linkItem) // saves link to populate the one-to-many relationship of the initial draw, once the alphabet is through } } let drawUpdate = draw as NSManagedObject // populate the one-to-many relationship of the initial draw let linkSet = Set(linkTable) as NSSet drawUpdate.setValue(linkSet, forKey: "plus") erreur = " saving \(draw.draw!) links plus" try viewContext.save() count -= 1 // next draw } } catch { print("Error " + erreur) } print("Graph completed") } updateLinks function (NOK): func updateLinks() { var erreur = "fetch request <Link>" let request: NSFetchRequest<Link> = Link.fetchRequest() request.entity = Link.entity() print("Running patch...") do { request.predicate = NSPredicate(format: "gives == nil") let links = try viewContext.fetch(request) for link in links { let baseDraw = link.back!.draw! print("\(baseDraw) \(link.letter!)") let augmDrawLetters = String((baseDraw + link.letter!).sorted()) if let augmDraw = getDraw(drawLetters: augmDrawLetters) { viewContext.perform { let updateLink = link as NSManagedObject updateLink.setValue(augmDraw, forKey: "gives") erreur = " saving \(augmDraw.draw!) \(link.letter!)" do { try viewContext.save() } catch { print("Erreur mise à jour lien") } } } } } catch { print("Error " + erreur) } } RESULT And this is the output showing the content of the Draw entity with relationships after createLinks() is applied: And here after updateLinks() is applied :
