I've seen a few older posts claiming the same behavior I'm seeing which is my cloudkit/core data app only syncs to iOS when the iOS app is reloaded. Can someone clarify if this is a bug, or the expected behavior. I have an iOS app which the entire purpose of it is to view synced data from MacOS, and I have a refresh button which does nothing because the data only syncs when the app is closed and reopened. Am I supposed to tell users to close and reopen the app to see fresh data? that seems like a terrible UI behavior, and I know apple does not accept this as all of their apps sync without needing to be reloaded. For example the notes app does not need to be reloaded for the MacOS -> iOS data to be synced.

Prior to iOS 26, this successfully gave me a modal view with a transparent background: let settingsVC = MySettingsViewController() settingsVC.modalPresentationStyle = .automatic //settingsVC.modalPresentationStyle = .overCurrentContext self.present(settingsVC, animated: true, completion: { } MySettingsViewController: self.view.backgroundColor = UIColor(white: 0, alpha: 0.5) Now in iOS 26, modal view is presented in a opaque grey background.

How do I import a Reality Composer project into Blender (Windows x86_64)

When I first tried to create a custom SF Symbol using Affinity Designer, I encountered difficulties because of two problems which have cumulated: SVG files created by Affinity Designer cannot be directly imported into the SF Symbols app because Affinity Designer totally recreates the content of tag <g id="Notes">, making so the file incompatible for later import into the SF Symbols app. So I had to manually fix that tag via a text editor in order to make the file compatible with the SF Symbols app. Because I was so focused on fixing manually the SVG file, I did not see that the actual content of my SVG file did not follow all Apple recommendations. As a consequence, I have posted this question on the forum: Struggling creating a custom SF Symbol: The provided variants are not interpolatable Finally I have found a way to create an SVG file compatible with SF Symbols using Affinity Designer, meeting the Apple recommendations, and at last perfectly suitable for further use in Xcode. You will find the solution in my reply to this post below which is actually a quasi copy/paste of my final own reply to my original post. Marc

Hello, Im new to Xcode, ive been taking some classes and watching YouTube videos as well as using AI. Im having an issue I cannot find a video on, and AI just keeps screwing up my layout and sizing. Here is the issue, I have a Custom Made Image for my Sign In button, for my log in page on Xcode. The issue being that I can barely see the button and when I go to adjust the size the whole layout gets screwed up. My Logo Image (supposed to take up the top 50% of the screen) takes over the whole Botton of the screen and I loose my username and password Text threads and images. I guess my question is, is this an issue with the size of image ive uploaded or is this an issue with my code? I changed the size of the Image I created in Canva to 900pixles for the width and 300pixals for the height and that did absolutely nothing to my image in Xcode. Below is the Button and Create Account section in my code that seems to be having issues. Ppppplease help me. var body: some View { NavigationStack(path: $navigationPath) { ZStack { // Background image Image("Background1") .resizable() .scaledToFill() .ignoresSafeArea() .clipped() // Main content ScrollView { VStack(spacing: 20) { // Logo Image("DynastyStatDropLogo") .resizable() .scaledToFit() .padding(.top, -160) .padding(.bottom, -30) // Form elements // Username field ZStack { Image("UsernameBar") .resizable() .aspectRatio(contentMode: .fill) .padding() TextField("UserName:", text: $textInput) .padding(.horizontal, 75) .background(Color.clear) .foregroundColor(.red) .focused($focus, equals: .username) .submitLabel(.next) .onSubmit { focus = .password } } .frame(height: 50) .clipShape(RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 10)) .padding(.horizontal) // Password field and Forgot Password link VStack(spacing: 20) { ZStack { Image("PasswordBar") .resizable() .aspectRatio(contentMode: .fill) .padding() SecureField("Password:", text: $textInput2) .padding(.horizontal, 75) .background(Color.clear) .foregroundColor(.red) .focused($focus, equals: .password) .submitLabel(.go) .onSubmit { submitForm() } } .frame(height: 50) .clipShape(RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 10)) .padding(.horizontal) // Forgot Password link (right-aligned) HStack { Spacer() Text("Forgot Password?") .foregroundColor(.blue) .onTapGesture { navigationPath.append("passwordRecovery") } } .padding(.horizontal, 90) } Spacer(minLength: -110) // SignIn Button - Explicitly showing it HStack { Spacer() Button { submitForm() } label: { Image("signinButton") .resizable() .frame(width: 500, height: 400) } Spacer() } Spacer(minLength: -300) // Create Account (centered) HStack { Spacer() Text("Create Account") .foregroundColor(.blue) .onTapGesture { navigationPath.append("accountCreation") } Spacer() } .padding(.bottom, -10) } } } .onAppear { focus = .username } .navigationDestination(for: String.self) { destination in switch destination { case "dashboard": DSDDashboard() case "passwordRecovery": PasswordRecoveryView() case "accountCreation": AccountCreationView() default: EmptyView() } } .alert(isPresented: $showAlert) { Alert( title: Text("Missing Information"), message: Text("Enter UserName and Password to continue to DSD"), dismissButton: .default(Text("OK")) ) } } } // Function to handle form submission func submitForm() { focus = nil if textInput.isEmpty || textInput2.isEmpty { showAlert = true } else { print("Login with username: \(textInput), password: \(textInput2)") navigationPath.append("dashboard") } } // Enum to manage focus states enum FormFieldFocus: Hashable { case username, password } }

Not sure if anyone else has this issue, however with the new appearances when i use the dark appearance and then open the app "TickTick", the icon goes to its original colour until the app is closed.

I placed apple.logo symbol image on the top of a view. This view is used to link or unlink Apple ID for user. In the middle is the apple sign in button. I want to use something to describe or represent what the view is, instead of using text description. so I think sign in's company logo is a good choice. Is it allowed by apple official?

My newly released App Snapshot-Chess-Move, #1592848671, is not creating a public database of chess moves as I expect. What steps do I need to do inorder for my App to be using a public database. It appears as if each of my iOS devices, iPhone, iPad and Mac mini each have a private database of chess moves. When I change my data on the iPad, I expect the new data to appear (with slight delays) on the Mac.. I do not know what to do next. Please help me. This was working in Development mode but not in Production when I submitted my App for release. UPDATE: The cloud data is copied locally to a @Quary variable and updated by using .insert, .delete and .save commands. So, I deleted and re-downloaded my apps on each device, iPad, iPhone, and Mac and obtained the same cloud data. So how do users get the most recent copy of the cloud. Do they need to delete their App and start over? Is there a .update command that can do this updating for me? Also, I pushed the App out of the background and restarted the App to obtain the updated cloud data.

The most recent update included coloured icons for grouping of emails anybody previously needing to group emails we’re able to achieve this alphabetically by simply searching for what you were looking for. These icons clutter the page with totally unnecessary screen pollution. if you want to persist with this folly can you please provide a classic display option for those of us who have happily survived using email for 30 years without this fluff.

I would like to modify the content of a published LocationNode upon been clicked by the user. But unfortunately: func hitTest(_ point: CGPoint, options: [SCNHitTestOption : Any]? = nil) -> [SCNHitTestResult] returns an SCNNode array from which it is impossible to retrieve the original LocationNode being inserted in order to be able to modify it. Of course the solution would be to either insert the SCNNode corresponding to the inserted LocationNode in a custom class or conversely insert the identifier of the custom object as a tag of the LocationNode, in order to solve the issue. But both options seem impossible to implement. May anyone help me?

Hello, You are developing iOS 26. I hope you will fix the issue where the AṀ/PM is missing from the Time Display. Thanks

Hi community, I have a question regarding MusicKit, is it necessary to follow a design guideline to integrate this framework into my App? Also, when no music is reproducing in MusicKit which placeholder we should show, do you provide the resource? Or can we create our own placeholder? Thanks for all, David.

Please

The bane of my existence has been designing interfaces where the whole view needs to scroll, but a portion is a List and the other portion is static. I run into this problem time and again so I was hoping someone has a good solution because we all know that embedding a List view inside ScrollView is a no-go within SwiftUI. It simply doesn't work. So what is a best practice when you need the whole screen to scroll, but a portion is a List? Use a navigation stack instead of a ScrollView? What if it's a child view of a navigation stack already?

So…I am hitting a wall here and could use some guidance towards best practice. I’ve developed an app in Xcode/SwiftUI that renders just fine on the iPhone - text, images, buttons, frames…everything is nicely centered on the screen or scrolls where and when I want. The iPad though…not so much. I’m having issues with tops and bottoms being cut off in scrollviews. These are just straight up text screens too - the ones with other elements/controls…they’re rendering fine. I’ve tried a mix of geometry, vstack, scrollview, padding, spacers…the lot of it. Nothing I seem to do works - the views do not want to fill and fit properly. And, of course, the issue becomes worse the moment you flip the iPad into landscape view. Or use the 13” models. I’d imagine others are battling these issues as well and found solutions, so I decided to hit up the brain trust.

I downloaded iOS 26 beta 3. I was very happy with how it turned out, but when I activated Siri, I noticed the rainbow pulsing glow that bordered the phone was missing, and all that was left was the original Siri bubble. I was very disappointed, does anyone know how to get this back? I loved that design feature.

My app lets users create things with text, and I've included Apple fonts so users can format their text with them. These were fonts I found in the Font Book app that comes with macOS. My assumption is that these, like the San Francisco font, can be distributed with apps. Do I need to attribute these fonts to their creators and publish a license in my "About" page? If so, where do I find the license(s) and what is the proper way of publishing them? Is there anything else I should know? Please let me know if this should've been posted under a different topic and tag

Is there any way to lock the clock in Standby so it doesn't change? It is so frustrating when I put the phone on the charger and have to scroll back and forth, trying to find the clock I would like to use all the time.

Hello Apple Engineering Team and Fellow Developers, I’ve been using iOS 26 beta from day one and closely following all its improvements. One feature that significantly enhances the user experience is the automatic hiding of the Home Bar (the bottom navigation indicator) after a few seconds of inactivity in menus and apps. This subtle but powerful UI behavior not only increases immersion but also reduces distractions, making navigation smoother and visually cleaner. I strongly urge the Apple team to integrate this feature into the upcoming iOS 18.6 update. Bringing this polished interaction to iOS 18 users would greatly improve usability and keep the interface modern and elegant. Thank you for your continuous efforts in refining iOS. Looking forward to seeing this improvement officially adopted soon! Best regards, [ERFANEX]
