iOS 26: Toolbar button background flashes black during NavigationStack transitions (dark mode)
I’m seeing a visual glitch with toolbar buttons when building with Xcode 26 for iOS 26. During transitions (both pushing in a NavigationStack and presenting a .sheet with its own NavigationStack), the toolbar button briefly flashes the wrong background colour (black in dark mode, white in light mode) before animating to the correct Liquid Glass appearance. This happens even in a minimal example and only seems to affect system toolbar buttons. A custom view with .glassEffect() doesn’t have the issue. I’ve tried: .tint(...), UINavigationBarAppearance/UIToolbarAppearance, and setting backgrounds on hosting/nav/window but none of those made any difference. Here’s a minimal reproducible example: import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @State private var showingSheet = false var body: some View { NavigationStack { List { NavigationLink("Push (same stack — morphs)") { DetailView() } Button("Sheet (separate stack — flashes)") { showingSheet = true } } .navigationTitle("Root") .scrollContentBackground(.hidden) .background(.gray) .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarTrailing) { Button("Action") {} } } .sheet(isPresented: $showingSheet) { SheetView() } } } } struct DetailView: View { var body: some View { Text("Detail (same stack)") .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, maxHeight: .infinity) .background(.gray) .navigationTitle("Detail") .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarTrailing) { Button("Action") {} } } } } struct SheetView: View { var body: some View { NavigationStack { Text("Sheet (separate stack)") .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, maxHeight: .infinity) .background(.gray) .navigationTitle("Sheet") .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarTrailing) { Button("Action") {} } } } } } Has anyone else seen this or found a workaround outside of disabling this background completely with .sharedBackgroundVisibility(.hidden)? I have filed a bug report under FB22141183

ShareLink "Save Image" action dismisses presenting view after saving
When using ShareLink in SwiftUI to share an image, the “Save Image” action dismisses not only the share sheet but also the presenting SwiftUI view. The behavior differs depending on whether the photo library permission alert appears. Observed behavior: The first time the user taps Save Image, the system permission alert appears. After granting permission, the image saves successfully and the share sheet dismisses normally. On subsequent attempts, the image is saved successfully, but both the share sheet and the presenting view are dismissed unexpectedly. Expected behavior: After saving the image, only the share sheet should dismiss. The presenting SwiftUI view should remain visible. Steps to Reproduce Present a SwiftUI view using .sheet. Inside that view, add a ShareLink configured to export a PNG image using Transferable. Tap the ShareLink button. Choose Save Image. Grant permission the first time (if prompted). Repeat the action. Result: On subsequent saves, the share sheet dismisses and the presenting view is dismissed as well. Sample code ` internal import System import UniformTypeIdentifiers import SwiftUI struct RootView: View { @State private var isPresented: Bool = false var body: some View { ZStack { Color.white Button("Show parent view") { isPresented = true } } .sheet(isPresented: $isPresented) { ParentView() } } } struct ParentView: View { @State private var isPresented: Bool = false var body: some View { NavigationStack { ZStack { Color.red.opacity(0.5) } .toolbar { ToolbarItem() { let name = "\(UUID().uuidString)" let image = UIImage(named: "after")! return ShareLink( item: ShareableImage(image: image, fileName: name), preview: SharePreview( name, image: Image(uiImage: image) ) ) { Image(uiImage: UIImage(resource: .Icons.share24)) .resizable() .foregroundStyle(Color.black) .frame(width: 24, height: 24) } } } } } } struct ShareableImage: Transferable { let image: UIImage let fileName: String static var transferRepresentation: some TransferRepresentation { FileRepresentation(exportedContentType: .png) { item in let fileURL = FileManager.default.temporaryDirectory .appendingPathComponent(item.fileName) .appendingPathExtension("png") guard let data = item.image.pngData() else { throw NSError(domain: "ImageEncodingError", code: 0) } try data.write(to: fileURL) return SentTransferredFile(fileURL) } } } `

Scrolling to row with a pinned header view
Hi, I have a list with section headers as pinned views. I'm trying to programmatically scroll to a view inside a section using a proxy.scrollTo(id, anchor: .top). I was expecting the view to be aligned to the top of the scroll view but after the pinned header. Instead, it's aligned to the top of the scroll view overlapping with the header, hiding most of the row. Here is a code snippet to reproduce: import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { ScrollViewReader { proxy in ScrollView { LazyVStack( pinnedViews: .sectionHeaders ){ ForEach(1...10, id: \.self) { count1 in Section(content: { Text("First row") .id("\(count1), row1") Text("second row") Text("third row") }, header: { Text("Section \(count1)").font(.title) .background(.red) }) } } } .safeAreaInset(edge: .bottom) { Button("Tap me") { proxy.scrollTo("3, row1", anchor: .top) } .padding() } } } } Any idea how this could be solved?

Section(isExpanded:) in sidebar List, inconsistent row animation on collapse/expand
When using Section(_:isExpanded:) inside a List with .listStyle(.sidebar) in a NavigationSplitView, some rows don't animate with the others during collapse and expand. Specific rows (often in the middle of the section) snap in/out instantly while the rest animate smoothly. I've reproduced this with both static views and ForEach. Minimal reproduction: struct SidebarView: View { @State private var sectionExpanded = true @State private var selection: Int? var body: some View { NavigationSplitView { List(selection: $selection) { Section("Section", isExpanded: $sectionExpanded) { ForEach(1...3, id: \.self) { index in NavigationLink(value: index) { Label("Item \(index)", systemImage: "\(index).circle") } } } } .listStyle(.sidebar) .navigationTitle("Sidebar") } detail: { if let selection { Text("Selected item \(selection)") } else { Text("Select an item") } } } } Environment: macOS 26.3, Xcode 26.3, SwiftUI Steps to reproduce: Run the above code in a macOS app Click the section disclosure chevron to collapse Observe that some rows animate out while others snap instantly Expand again — same inconsistency Expected: All rows animate together uniformly. Actual: Some rows (typically middle items) skip the animation entirely. I also tried using static Label views instead of ForEach, same result. Is there a known workaround?

iOS 26 WKWebView STScreenTimeConfigurationObserver KVO Crash
Fatal Exception: NSInternalInconsistencyException Cannot remove an observer <WKWebView 0x135137800> for the key path "configuration.enforcesChildRestrictions" from <STScreenTimeConfigurationObserver 0x13c6d7460>, most likely because the value for the key "configuration" has changed without an appropriate KVO notification being sent. Check the KVO-compliance of the STScreenTimeConfigurationObserver [class.] I noticed that on iOS 26, WKWebView registers STScreenTimeConfigurationObserver, Is this an iOS 26 system issue? What should I do?

State loss and sheets dismiss on backgrounding app
I've been hitting a weird SwiftUI bug with navigation and state loss and I've managed to reproduce in a very tiny sample project. I've submitted a Feedback FB21681608 but thought it was worth posting here incase any SwiftUI experts can see something obviously wrong. The bug With deeper levels of navigation hierarchy SwiftUI will dismiss views when backgrounding the app. Any work around would be appreciated. This happens in a real app where we have to navigate to a settings screen modally and then a complex flow with other sheets. Sample code Happens in the simulator and on device. import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @State private var isPresented = false var body: some View { Button("Show first sheet") { isPresented = true } .sheet(isPresented: $isPresented) { SheetView(count: 1) } } } struct SheetView: View { private enum Path: Hashable { case somePath } @State private var isPresented = false var count: Int var body: some View { NavigationStack { VStack { Text("Sheet \(count)") .font(.largeTitle) // To recreate bug show more than 4 sheets and then switch to the app switcher (CTRL-CMD-Shift-H). // All sheets after number 3 dismiss. Button("Show sheet: \(count + 1)") { isPresented = true } } .sheet(isPresented: $isPresented) { SheetView(count: count + 1) } // Comment out the `navigationDestination` below and the sheets don't dismiss when app goes to the background. // Or move this modifier above the .sheet modifier and the sheets don't dismiss. .navigationDestination(for: Path.self) { _ in fatalError() } } } }

Back gesture not disabled with navigationBarBackButtonHidden(true) when using .zoom transition
[Submitted as FB22226720] For a NavigationStack destination, applying .navigationBarBackButtonHidden(true) hides the back button and also disables the interactive left-edge back gesture when using the standard push navigation transition. However, when the destination uses .navigationTransition(.zoom), the back button is hidden but the left-edge back gesture is still available—it can still be dismissed even though back is intentionally suppressed. This creates inconsistent behavior between navigation transition styles. navigationBarBackButtonHidden(_:) works with a standard push transition, but not with .navigationTransition(.zoom). In the code below, .interactiveDismissDisabled(true) is also applied as another attempt to suppress the back-swipe gesture, but it has no effect. As a result, there’s currently no clean way to prevent back navigation when using the zoom transition. REPRO STEPS Create an iOS project then replace ContentView with code below, build and run. Leave nav type set to List Push. Open an item. Verify there is no back button, then try the left-edge back gesture. Return to the root view. Change nav type to Grid Zoom. Open an item. Verify there is no back button, then try the left-edge back gesture. ACTUAL In List Push mode, the left-edge back gesture is prevented. In Grid Zoom mode, the back button is hidden, but the left-edge back gesture still works and returns to the previous view. EXPECTED Behavior should be consistent across navigation transition styles. If this configuration is meant to suppress interactive backward navigation for a destination, it should also suppress the left-edge back gesture when using .navigationTransition(.zoom). SCREEN RECORDING SAMPLE CODE struct ContentView: View { private enum NavigationMode: String, CaseIterable { case listPush = "List Push" case gridZoom = "Grid Zoom" } @Namespace private var namespace @State private var navigationMode: NavigationMode = .listPush private let colors: [Color] = [.red, .blue] var body: some View { NavigationStack { VStack(spacing: 16) { Picker("Navigation Type", selection: $navigationMode) { ForEach(NavigationMode.allCases, id: \.self) { mode in Text(mode.rawValue).tag(mode) } } .pickerStyle(.segmented) if navigationMode == .gridZoom { HStack { ForEach(colors.indices, id: \.self) { index in NavigationLink(value: index) { VStack { RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 14) .fill(colors[index]) .frame(height: 120) Text("Grid Item \(index + 1)") .font(.subheadline.weight(.medium)) } .padding(12) .frame(maxWidth: .infinity) .background(.quaternary.opacity(0.25), in: RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 16)) .matchedTransitionSource(id: index, in: namespace) } .buttonStyle(.plain) } } } else { ForEach(colors.indices, id: \.self) { index in NavigationLink(value: index) { HStack { Circle() .fill(colors[index]) .frame(width: 24, height: 24) Text("List Item \(index + 1)") Spacer() Image(systemName: "chevron.right") .foregroundStyle(.secondary) } .padding() .background(.quaternary.opacity(0.25), in: RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 12)) } .buttonStyle(.plain) } } Spacer() } .padding(20) .navigationTitle("Prevent Back Swipe") .navigationSubtitle("Compare Grid Zoom vs List Push") .navigationDestination(for: Int.self) { index in if navigationMode == .gridZoom { DetailView(color: colors[index]) .navigationTransition(.zoom(sourceID: index, in: namespace)) } else { DetailView(color: colors[index]) } } } } } private struct DetailView: View { @Environment(\.dismiss) private var dismiss let color: Color var body: some View { ZStack { color.ignoresSafeArea() Text("Try left-edge swipe back") .font(.title.bold()) .multilineTextAlignment(.center) .padding(.horizontal, 24) } .navigationBarBackButtonHidden(true) .interactiveDismissDisabled(true) .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarTrailing) { Button("Close", action: dismiss.callAsFunction) } } } }

Xcode 26.3 Simulator renders SwiftUI app only inside a rounded rectangle instead of full screen
Hi everyone, I’m seeing a strange rendering issue in Xcode 26.3 that seems to affect only the iOS Simulator. Environment: Xcode 26.3 SwiftUI app Reproduces in Simulator only Reproduces across multiple simulator device models My code is just a minimal example Expected behavior: The view should fill the entire screen. Actual behavior: The app content is rendered only inside a centered rounded rectangle/card-like area, with black space around it, as if the app canvas is being clipped incorrectly. Minimal reproduction: import SwiftUI @main struct LayoutShowcaseApp: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { Color.green.ignoresSafeArea() } } } I also tried wrapping it in a ZStack and using: .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, maxHeight: .infinity) .background(...) .ignoresSafeArea() but the result is the same. What I already tried: Clean Build Folder Switching simulator device models Resetting simulator content/settings Rebuilding from a fresh minimal SwiftUI project Since this happens with such a minimal example, it looks more like a Simulator/runtime rendering bug than a SwiftUI layout issue. Has anyone else seen this on Xcode 26.3? If yes, did you find any workaround? Thanks.

NSImage with HDR-disabled image causes freezing for window resize
I have regular NSImage from iPhone and the drawing get's extremely choppy during window resize (especially at small window sizes below 100px). When the window size is large there is no problem with drawing and CPU utilization is low. I have tried kCGImageSourceDecodeToSDR + or another NSImage from CGImage but the CPU utilization is extreme at small sizes. Non-HDR images don't have problems with drawing at small sizes. Video example: https://youtu.be/x8iAYGCyACs import AppKit import AVFoundation class ImageBackgroundView: NSView { @Invalidating(.display) var image: NSImage? = nil override var clipsToBounds: Bool { set { } get { true } } override func draw(_ dirtyRect: NSRect) { super.draw(dirtyRect) NSColor.red.setFill() dirtyRect.fill() guard let image = image else { return } // Calculate aspect-fit rect using AVFoundation let imageSize = image.size let targetRect = bounds let drawRect = AVMakeRect(aspectRatio: imageSize, insideRect: targetRect) image.draw(in: drawRect) } } Copy import Cocoa import UniformTypeIdentifiers class ViewController: NSViewController { @IBOutlet weak var imageView: ImageBackgroundView! @IBAction func buttonAction(_ sender: Any) { let panel = NSOpenPanel() panel.allowedContentTypes = NSImage.imageTypes.compactMap { UTType($0) } panel.begin { response in let nonHDROptions = [ kCGImageSourceDecodeRequest : kCGImageSourceDecodeToSDR, kCGImageSourceDecodeRequestOptions: [kCGComputeHDRStats: false] ] as CFDictionary guard response == .OK, let url = panel.url, let source = CGImageSourceCreateWithURL(url as CFURL, nil), let cgImage = CGImageSourceCreateImageAtIndex(source, 0, nonHDROptions) else { return } self.imageView.image = NSImage(cgImage: cgImage, size: NSMakeSize(CGFloat(cgImage.width), CGFloat(cgImage.height))) } } } Time profiler with HDR NSImage: Time profiler with NSImage + kCGImageSourceDecodeToSDR:

NSSavePanel accessory view doesn't react to enter keypress
I have a textfield in accessory view of NSSavePanel. For user convenience there are default actions supported natively by macOS (such as pressing Enter, keyEquivalent). However this doesn't work for enter under Sonoma. Escape key works. Is enter keypress dangerous for malicious actors so it's not supported? I have workaround below but I am not confident if I am not violating sandbox (future proof). Original code demonstrating the issue: class ViewController: NSViewController, NSTextFieldDelegate, NSControlTextEditingDelegate { let savePanel = NSSavePanel() override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() let customView = NSView() let textField = NSTextField(string: "11111111") textField.delegate = self // to get focus using tab keypress savePanel.accessoryView = textField } override func viewWillAppear() { savePanel.runModal() } } Workaround: // variable set to true in delegate method controlTextDidEndEditing var didUseTextFieldWithEnterPressed = false override func performKeyEquivalent(with event: NSEvent) -> Bool { if #unavailable(macOS 14) { return super.performKeyEquivalent(with: event) } guard let panel, didUseTextFieldWithEnterPressed == true, event.type == .keyDown && (event.keyCode == UInt16(kVK_Return) || event.keyCode == UInt16(kVK_ANSI_KeypadEnter)) else { return super.performKeyEquivalent(with: event) } return panel.performKeyEquivalent(with: event) }

Cannot remove an observer <TUINSCursorUIController 0x600001844340> for the key path "visible" from <NSSavePanel 0x10ff05200> because it is not registered as an observer.
I have two NSTextField as an accessoryView of NSSavePanel. When I try to change focus in between them with a caps lock on the whole panel will crash. This will also happen when NSTextField if focused with caps lock on and i press cmd+tab (app switching). This happens on Sonoma + Sequoia beta. On top I have noticed editing NSTextField in accessoryView is completely broken on Sonoma and I can only edit it ONLY when the textfiled is using bindings. I am trying to find a workaround for the caps lock indicator being displayed. The only idea I have ATM is to observe NSApp.windows and look for TUINSWindow and force close it when it's visible. Is there any other workaround to prevent this crash? https://youtu.be/BCVjZH7684U Sample code: import Cocoa class ViewController: NSViewController { let savePanel = NSSavePanel() override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() let view = NSGridView(views: [[NSTextField(string: "111111")], [NSTextField(string: "22222222")]]) savePanel.accessoryView = view } override func viewWillAppear() { savePanel.runModal() } } Crash report: Cannot remove an observer <TUINSCursorUIController 0x600001844340> for the key path "visible" from <NSSavePanel 0x10ff05200> because it is not registered as an observer.

Live Q&A Summary - SwiftUI foundations: Build great apps with SwiftUI
Here’s a recap of the Live Q&A for SwiftUI foundations: Build great apps with SwiftUI. If you participated and asked questions, thank you for coming and participating! If you weren’t able to join us live we hope this recap is useful Where can I watch the VOD? Is the sample code “Wishlist” that was shown available for download? You can view the replay of the entire event here SwiftUI foundations: Build great apps with SwiftUI The sample code for Wishlist is available here What are the best practices when it comes to building complex navigations in SwiftUI? The developer website has documentation on navigation style best practices. Explore navigation basics like NavigationStack and TabView to get a ground-up understanding. For documentation on navigation APIs see Navigation. ‎ How can I integrate UIKit with my SwiftUI app? What about adding SwiftUI into my UIKit app? See UIKit integration: Add UIKit views to your SwiftUI app, or use SwiftUI views in your UIKit app. Both UIKit and SwiftUI provide API to show a view hierarchy of the other. For UIKit to SwiftUI, you would use UIViewControllerRepresentable. For SwiftUI to UIKit, you would use UIHostingController. Landmarks: Interfacing with UIKit walks you through step by step how to implement UIKit in SwiftUI with UIViewControllerRepresentable, and this WWDC22 video demonstrates UIHostingController, for those that want to add SwiftUI to their UIKit. ‎ Does Wishlist feature a new iOS 26 font? How can I add custom fonts and text of my app? We’re glad to hear many of you liked wide text shown in Wishlist, however, It is the default system font with some light SwiftUI styling! Check it out for yourself in the sample code when made available, and you can learn more about customizing fonts and text by seeing Font and Applying custom fonts to text. ‎ Does Xcode have a dependency graph we can use to optimize our SwiftUI Views? Xcode comes with Instruments. Instruments is the best way to figure out what is causing excessive updates and other issues with performance. That link provides direct tutorials and resources for how to use and understand. Previews also have many useful tools for analyzing SwiftUI views, for more info see Previews in Xcode Check out this video from our latest WWDC Optimize SwiftUI performance with Instruments for information on how to use Instruments to profile and optimize your app with real-world applications If you still have questions, Check out the Instruments section of these forums and create a post so the community has the opportunity to help guide you. ‎ Are there UI debugging tools to help diagnose layout issues? Yes, Xcode also features a View Debugger located by selecting the View Debug Hierarchy, pictured below. Use the View Debugger to capture and inspect your view hierarchy, identifying which views affect window sizing. The SwiftUI Inspector also lets you examine view frames and layout behavior. See Diagnosing issues in the appearance of a running app to learn about debugging visual and layout issues. ‎ As an absolute beginner, what would be the first go-to step to go for training? Do I need prior knowledge of frameworks to get started with SwiftUI? A great place to learn how to develop for Apple platforms is with Pathways! Many developers start with Develop in Swift tutorials, which exposes you to several frameworks while teaching you the basics of SwiftUI. When you're ready to take your learning further, you can read the documentation for the specific frameworks that interest you at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/. ‎

Glass Effect Label Shadow Clipping During Morph Animation
Hi all, I’m experiencing a visual bug when applying the glass effect to a Label in Liquid Glass (current version 26.2 on simulator; also reproducible in 26.3.1 on device). Issue: On a label with .glassEffect(.regular), when collapsing via morph animation, the shadow is clipped during the animation, and then suddenly "pops" back to its un-clipped state, resulting in a jarring visual effect. Minimal Example: import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { Menu { Button("Duplicate", action: {}) Button("Rename", action: {}) Button("Delete…", action: {}) } label: { Label("PDF", systemImage: "doc.fill") .padding() .glassEffect(.regular) } } } #Preview { ContentView() } I am not sure if I am misusing the .glassEffect() on the label and maybe there is another more native way of achieving this look? Any advice or workaround suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

This doesn't appear to cause any issues, although entering text can feel a bit sluggish (even on device), but I am unable to determine relatedness. None-the-less, it definitely is a lot of log noise. Code to reproduce in simulator (xcode 26.2; ios 26 or 18, with iPhone 16 Pro or iPhone 17 Pro): import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @State private var textEntered: String = "" @State private var textEntered2: String = "" @State private var textEntered3: String = "" var body: some View { VStack { Spacer() TextField("Tap Here", text: $textEntered) TextField("Tap Here Too", text: $textEntered2) TextEditor(text: $textEntered3) .overlay(RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 8).strokeBorder(.primary, lineWidth: 1)) .frame(height: 100) Spacer() } } } #Preview { ContentView() } Tapping back and forth in these fields generates the errors each time. Thanks, Steve

Third-party credential manager not appearing in Apple Passwords "Export Data to Another App" list — iOS 26
Hi, I'm building a third-party credential manager app and trying to get it listed as an eligible destination in Apple Passwords → Export Data to Another App on iOS 26 / macOS 26. The app never appears in the list, even on a physical device. What I've implemented so far: The main app and the Credential Provider Extension both have the com.apple.developer.authentication-services.autofill-credential-provider entitlement set. The extension's Info.plist has ASCredentialProviderExtensionCapabilities nested correctly under NSExtension → NSExtensionAttributes, with ProvidesPasskeys and ProvidesPasswords both set to true. Both targets share the same App Group. The extension is visible and selectable under Settings → General → AutoFill & Passwords — so the extension itself is working. I've also added ASCredentialImportManager and ASCredentialExportManager support to the app based on the AuthenticationServices SDK interfaces in Xcode 26. The specific question: What is the actual eligibility criteria for appearing in the "Export Data to Another App" destination list in Apple Passwords? Is there a specific Info.plist key, entitlement, or capability declaration required beyond what's already needed for the Credential Provider Extension? The WWDC25 session (279) mentions ASCredentialExportManager and ASCredentialImportManager but doesn't describe the discovery mechanism that determines which apps are listed. Currently, only Google Chrome appear in the list on my test device. I'd like to understand whether this is a capability/entitlement issue, an App Store review requirement, or a beta limitation that will open up later. Any guidance from the team would be greatly appreciated.

File Export from iOS - eventually import too
iOS 15 - iOS 26.x, SwiftUI, Xcode 26.1.1 (rewritten without links) I’m attempting to add the capability to export a file from CoreData. Since ShareLink requires iOS16+, I found an article showing how to create a UIKit wrapper for 'UIActivityViewController' This does work, but I end up with multiple files instead of one. How do I merge this into one file? Note: I don’t think I want to write to the app’s document directory – rather I’d like to allow the user to export to iCloud. Eventually, I’d like to share a list of dates with descriptions and if someone puts a sensitive date in there – I don’t want it to be left in a directory. I would include a warning that the file that they export needs to be handled with care if there are any sensitive dates. Some might consider birthdays as private information, right? I'd also like to be able to name the file - so far when the share sheet comes up, I select "Save to Files" and it uses a default name of text.txt My next step is to be able to import a CSV file (roundtrip) - could you point me to resources for how to do that?

The largeTitle of UINavigationBar disappears after scrolling on iOS 26.1
My project uses the UINavigationController's largeTitle on the latest iOS 26.1, but I found that when I set the backgroundColor, the navigation bar's largeTitle disappeared after switching between normal and large titles. I checked the latest documentation and consulted AI, but I have not found any good solutions. For the demo project, please refer to FB20986869

iOS 26: Toolbar button background flashes black during NavigationStack transitions (dark mode)
I’m seeing a visual glitch with toolbar buttons when building with Xcode 26 for iOS 26. During transitions (both pushing in a NavigationStack and presenting a .sheet with its own NavigationStack), the toolbar button briefly flashes the wrong background colour (black in dark mode, white in light mode) before animating to the correct Liquid Glass appearance. This happens even in a minimal example and only seems to affect system toolbar buttons. A custom view with .glassEffect() doesn’t have the issue. I’ve tried: .tint(...), UINavigationBarAppearance/UIToolbarAppearance, and setting backgrounds on hosting/nav/window but none of those made any difference. Here’s a minimal reproducible example: import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @State private var showingSheet = false var body: some View { NavigationStack { List { NavigationLink("Push (same stack — morphs)") { DetailView() } Button("Sheet (separate stack — flashes)") { showingSheet = true } } .navigationTitle("Root") .scrollContentBackground(.hidden) .background(.gray) .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarTrailing) { Button("Action") {} } } .sheet(isPresented: $showingSheet) { SheetView() } } } } struct DetailView: View { var body: some View { Text("Detail (same stack)") .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, maxHeight: .infinity) .background(.gray) .navigationTitle("Detail") .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarTrailing) { Button("Action") {} } } } } struct SheetView: View { var body: some View { NavigationStack { Text("Sheet (separate stack)") .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, maxHeight: .infinity) .background(.gray) .navigationTitle("Sheet") .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarTrailing) { Button("Action") {} } } } } } Has anyone else seen this or found a workaround outside of disabling this background completely with .sharedBackgroundVisibility(.hidden)? I have filed a bug report under FB22141183

ShareLink "Save Image" action dismisses presenting view after saving
When using ShareLink in SwiftUI to share an image, the “Save Image” action dismisses not only the share sheet but also the presenting SwiftUI view. The behavior differs depending on whether the photo library permission alert appears. Observed behavior: The first time the user taps Save Image, the system permission alert appears. After granting permission, the image saves successfully and the share sheet dismisses normally. On subsequent attempts, the image is saved successfully, but both the share sheet and the presenting view are dismissed unexpectedly. Expected behavior: After saving the image, only the share sheet should dismiss. The presenting SwiftUI view should remain visible. Steps to Reproduce Present a SwiftUI view using .sheet. Inside that view, add a ShareLink configured to export a PNG image using Transferable. Tap the ShareLink button. Choose Save Image. Grant permission the first time (if prompted). Repeat the action. Result: On subsequent saves, the share sheet dismisses and the presenting view is dismissed as well. Sample code ` internal import System import UniformTypeIdentifiers import SwiftUI struct RootView: View { @State private var isPresented: Bool = false var body: some View { ZStack { Color.white Button("Show parent view") { isPresented = true } } .sheet(isPresented: $isPresented) { ParentView() } } } struct ParentView: View { @State private var isPresented: Bool = false var body: some View { NavigationStack { ZStack { Color.red.opacity(0.5) } .toolbar { ToolbarItem() { let name = "\(UUID().uuidString)" let image = UIImage(named: "after")! return ShareLink( item: ShareableImage(image: image, fileName: name), preview: SharePreview( name, image: Image(uiImage: image) ) ) { Image(uiImage: UIImage(resource: .Icons.share24)) .resizable() .foregroundStyle(Color.black) .frame(width: 24, height: 24) } } } } } } struct ShareableImage: Transferable { let image: UIImage let fileName: String static var transferRepresentation: some TransferRepresentation { FileRepresentation(exportedContentType: .png) { item in let fileURL = FileManager.default.temporaryDirectory .appendingPathComponent(item.fileName) .appendingPathExtension("png") guard let data = item.image.pngData() else { throw NSError(domain: "ImageEncodingError", code: 0) } try data.write(to: fileURL) return SentTransferredFile(fileURL) } } } `

Scrolling to row with a pinned header view
Hi, I have a list with section headers as pinned views. I'm trying to programmatically scroll to a view inside a section using a proxy.scrollTo(id, anchor: .top). I was expecting the view to be aligned to the top of the scroll view but after the pinned header. Instead, it's aligned to the top of the scroll view overlapping with the header, hiding most of the row. Here is a code snippet to reproduce: import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { ScrollViewReader { proxy in ScrollView { LazyVStack( pinnedViews: .sectionHeaders ){ ForEach(1...10, id: \.self) { count1 in Section(content: { Text("First row") .id("\(count1), row1") Text("second row") Text("third row") }, header: { Text("Section \(count1)").font(.title) .background(.red) }) } } } .safeAreaInset(edge: .bottom) { Button("Tap me") { proxy.scrollTo("3, row1", anchor: .top) } .padding() } } } } Any idea how this could be solved?

Restoring most recent document at cold start in DocumentGroup iOS app?
I've tried everything I can to restore the most recent document at cold start in my DocumentGroup iOS app. Q1. I believe it's not possible, but I would be happy to be proven wrong? Q2. Why is this not possible? My users who only edit one document find it quite annoying to have to select it so frequently.

Section(isExpanded:) in sidebar List, inconsistent row animation on collapse/expand
When using Section(_:isExpanded:) inside a List with .listStyle(.sidebar) in a NavigationSplitView, some rows don't animate with the others during collapse and expand. Specific rows (often in the middle of the section) snap in/out instantly while the rest animate smoothly. I've reproduced this with both static views and ForEach. Minimal reproduction: struct SidebarView: View { @State private var sectionExpanded = true @State private var selection: Int? var body: some View { NavigationSplitView { List(selection: $selection) { Section("Section", isExpanded: $sectionExpanded) { ForEach(1...3, id: \.self) { index in NavigationLink(value: index) { Label("Item \(index)", systemImage: "\(index).circle") } } } } .listStyle(.sidebar) .navigationTitle("Sidebar") } detail: { if let selection { Text("Selected item \(selection)") } else { Text("Select an item") } } } } Environment: macOS 26.3, Xcode 26.3, SwiftUI Steps to reproduce: Run the above code in a macOS app Click the section disclosure chevron to collapse Observe that some rows animate out while others snap instantly Expand again — same inconsistency Expected: All rows animate together uniformly. Actual: Some rows (typically middle items) skip the animation entirely. I also tried using static Label views instead of ForEach, same result. Is there a known workaround?

iOS 26 WKWebView STScreenTimeConfigurationObserver KVO Crash
Fatal Exception: NSInternalInconsistencyException Cannot remove an observer <WKWebView 0x135137800> for the key path "configuration.enforcesChildRestrictions" from <STScreenTimeConfigurationObserver 0x13c6d7460>, most likely because the value for the key "configuration" has changed without an appropriate KVO notification being sent. Check the KVO-compliance of the STScreenTimeConfigurationObserver [class.] I noticed that on iOS 26, WKWebView registers STScreenTimeConfigurationObserver, Is this an iOS 26 system issue? What should I do?

State loss and sheets dismiss on backgrounding app
I've been hitting a weird SwiftUI bug with navigation and state loss and I've managed to reproduce in a very tiny sample project. I've submitted a Feedback FB21681608 but thought it was worth posting here incase any SwiftUI experts can see something obviously wrong. The bug With deeper levels of navigation hierarchy SwiftUI will dismiss views when backgrounding the app. Any work around would be appreciated. This happens in a real app where we have to navigate to a settings screen modally and then a complex flow with other sheets. Sample code Happens in the simulator and on device. import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @State private var isPresented = false var body: some View { Button("Show first sheet") { isPresented = true } .sheet(isPresented: $isPresented) { SheetView(count: 1) } } } struct SheetView: View { private enum Path: Hashable { case somePath } @State private var isPresented = false var count: Int var body: some View { NavigationStack { VStack { Text("Sheet \(count)") .font(.largeTitle) // To recreate bug show more than 4 sheets and then switch to the app switcher (CTRL-CMD-Shift-H). // All sheets after number 3 dismiss. Button("Show sheet: \(count + 1)") { isPresented = true } } .sheet(isPresented: $isPresented) { SheetView(count: count + 1) } // Comment out the `navigationDestination` below and the sheets don't dismiss when app goes to the background. // Or move this modifier above the .sheet modifier and the sheets don't dismiss. .navigationDestination(for: Path.self) { _ in fatalError() } } } }

Back gesture not disabled with navigationBarBackButtonHidden(true) when using .zoom transition
[Submitted as FB22226720] For a NavigationStack destination, applying .navigationBarBackButtonHidden(true) hides the back button and also disables the interactive left-edge back gesture when using the standard push navigation transition. However, when the destination uses .navigationTransition(.zoom), the back button is hidden but the left-edge back gesture is still available—it can still be dismissed even though back is intentionally suppressed. This creates inconsistent behavior between navigation transition styles. navigationBarBackButtonHidden(_:) works with a standard push transition, but not with .navigationTransition(.zoom). In the code below, .interactiveDismissDisabled(true) is also applied as another attempt to suppress the back-swipe gesture, but it has no effect. As a result, there’s currently no clean way to prevent back navigation when using the zoom transition. REPRO STEPS Create an iOS project then replace ContentView with code below, build and run. Leave nav type set to List Push. Open an item. Verify there is no back button, then try the left-edge back gesture. Return to the root view. Change nav type to Grid Zoom. Open an item. Verify there is no back button, then try the left-edge back gesture. ACTUAL In List Push mode, the left-edge back gesture is prevented. In Grid Zoom mode, the back button is hidden, but the left-edge back gesture still works and returns to the previous view. EXPECTED Behavior should be consistent across navigation transition styles. If this configuration is meant to suppress interactive backward navigation for a destination, it should also suppress the left-edge back gesture when using .navigationTransition(.zoom). SCREEN RECORDING SAMPLE CODE struct ContentView: View { private enum NavigationMode: String, CaseIterable { case listPush = "List Push" case gridZoom = "Grid Zoom" } @Namespace private var namespace @State private var navigationMode: NavigationMode = .listPush private let colors: [Color] = [.red, .blue] var body: some View { NavigationStack { VStack(spacing: 16) { Picker("Navigation Type", selection: $navigationMode) { ForEach(NavigationMode.allCases, id: \.self) { mode in Text(mode.rawValue).tag(mode) } } .pickerStyle(.segmented) if navigationMode == .gridZoom { HStack { ForEach(colors.indices, id: \.self) { index in NavigationLink(value: index) { VStack { RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 14) .fill(colors[index]) .frame(height: 120) Text("Grid Item \(index + 1)") .font(.subheadline.weight(.medium)) } .padding(12) .frame(maxWidth: .infinity) .background(.quaternary.opacity(0.25), in: RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 16)) .matchedTransitionSource(id: index, in: namespace) } .buttonStyle(.plain) } } } else { ForEach(colors.indices, id: \.self) { index in NavigationLink(value: index) { HStack { Circle() .fill(colors[index]) .frame(width: 24, height: 24) Text("List Item \(index + 1)") Spacer() Image(systemName: "chevron.right") .foregroundStyle(.secondary) } .padding() .background(.quaternary.opacity(0.25), in: RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 12)) } .buttonStyle(.plain) } } Spacer() } .padding(20) .navigationTitle("Prevent Back Swipe") .navigationSubtitle("Compare Grid Zoom vs List Push") .navigationDestination(for: Int.self) { index in if navigationMode == .gridZoom { DetailView(color: colors[index]) .navigationTransition(.zoom(sourceID: index, in: namespace)) } else { DetailView(color: colors[index]) } } } } } private struct DetailView: View { @Environment(\.dismiss) private var dismiss let color: Color var body: some View { ZStack { color.ignoresSafeArea() Text("Try left-edge swipe back") .font(.title.bold()) .multilineTextAlignment(.center) .padding(.horizontal, 24) } .navigationBarBackButtonHidden(true) .interactiveDismissDisabled(true) .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarTrailing) { Button("Close", action: dismiss.callAsFunction) } } } }

Xcode 26.3 Simulator renders SwiftUI app only inside a rounded rectangle instead of full screen
Hi everyone, I’m seeing a strange rendering issue in Xcode 26.3 that seems to affect only the iOS Simulator. Environment: Xcode 26.3 SwiftUI app Reproduces in Simulator only Reproduces across multiple simulator device models My code is just a minimal example Expected behavior: The view should fill the entire screen. Actual behavior: The app content is rendered only inside a centered rounded rectangle/card-like area, with black space around it, as if the app canvas is being clipped incorrectly. Minimal reproduction: import SwiftUI @main struct LayoutShowcaseApp: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { Color.green.ignoresSafeArea() } } } I also tried wrapping it in a ZStack and using: .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, maxHeight: .infinity) .background(...) .ignoresSafeArea() but the result is the same. What I already tried: Clean Build Folder Switching simulator device models Resetting simulator content/settings Rebuilding from a fresh minimal SwiftUI project Since this happens with such a minimal example, it looks more like a Simulator/runtime rendering bug than a SwiftUI layout issue. Has anyone else seen this on Xcode 26.3? If yes, did you find any workaround? Thanks.

NSImage with HDR-disabled image causes freezing for window resize
I have regular NSImage from iPhone and the drawing get's extremely choppy during window resize (especially at small window sizes below 100px). When the window size is large there is no problem with drawing and CPU utilization is low. I have tried kCGImageSourceDecodeToSDR + or another NSImage from CGImage but the CPU utilization is extreme at small sizes. Non-HDR images don't have problems with drawing at small sizes. Video example: https://youtu.be/x8iAYGCyACs import AppKit import AVFoundation class ImageBackgroundView: NSView { @Invalidating(.display) var image: NSImage? = nil override var clipsToBounds: Bool { set { } get { true } } override func draw(_ dirtyRect: NSRect) { super.draw(dirtyRect) NSColor.red.setFill() dirtyRect.fill() guard let image = image else { return } // Calculate aspect-fit rect using AVFoundation let imageSize = image.size let targetRect = bounds let drawRect = AVMakeRect(aspectRatio: imageSize, insideRect: targetRect) image.draw(in: drawRect) } } Copy import Cocoa import UniformTypeIdentifiers class ViewController: NSViewController { @IBOutlet weak var imageView: ImageBackgroundView! @IBAction func buttonAction(_ sender: Any) { let panel = NSOpenPanel() panel.allowedContentTypes = NSImage.imageTypes.compactMap { UTType($0) } panel.begin { response in let nonHDROptions = [ kCGImageSourceDecodeRequest : kCGImageSourceDecodeToSDR, kCGImageSourceDecodeRequestOptions: [kCGComputeHDRStats: false] ] as CFDictionary guard response == .OK, let url = panel.url, let source = CGImageSourceCreateWithURL(url as CFURL, nil), let cgImage = CGImageSourceCreateImageAtIndex(source, 0, nonHDROptions) else { return } self.imageView.image = NSImage(cgImage: cgImage, size: NSMakeSize(CGFloat(cgImage.width), CGFloat(cgImage.height))) } } } Time profiler with HDR NSImage: Time profiler with NSImage + kCGImageSourceDecodeToSDR:

NSSavePanel accessory view doesn't react to enter keypress
I have a textfield in accessory view of NSSavePanel. For user convenience there are default actions supported natively by macOS (such as pressing Enter, keyEquivalent). However this doesn't work for enter under Sonoma. Escape key works. Is enter keypress dangerous for malicious actors so it's not supported? I have workaround below but I am not confident if I am not violating sandbox (future proof). Original code demonstrating the issue: class ViewController: NSViewController, NSTextFieldDelegate, NSControlTextEditingDelegate { let savePanel = NSSavePanel() override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() let customView = NSView() let textField = NSTextField(string: "11111111") textField.delegate = self // to get focus using tab keypress savePanel.accessoryView = textField } override func viewWillAppear() { savePanel.runModal() } } Workaround: // variable set to true in delegate method controlTextDidEndEditing var didUseTextFieldWithEnterPressed = false override func performKeyEquivalent(with event: NSEvent) -> Bool { if #unavailable(macOS 14) { return super.performKeyEquivalent(with: event) } guard let panel, didUseTextFieldWithEnterPressed == true, event.type == .keyDown && (event.keyCode == UInt16(kVK_Return) || event.keyCode == UInt16(kVK_ANSI_KeypadEnter)) else { return super.performKeyEquivalent(with: event) } return panel.performKeyEquivalent(with: event) }

Cannot remove an observer <TUINSCursorUIController 0x600001844340> for the key path "visible" from <NSSavePanel 0x10ff05200> because it is not registered as an observer.
I have two NSTextField as an accessoryView of NSSavePanel. When I try to change focus in between them with a caps lock on the whole panel will crash. This will also happen when NSTextField if focused with caps lock on and i press cmd+tab (app switching). This happens on Sonoma + Sequoia beta. On top I have noticed editing NSTextField in accessoryView is completely broken on Sonoma and I can only edit it ONLY when the textfiled is using bindings. I am trying to find a workaround for the caps lock indicator being displayed. The only idea I have ATM is to observe NSApp.windows and look for TUINSWindow and force close it when it's visible. Is there any other workaround to prevent this crash? https://youtu.be/BCVjZH7684U Sample code: import Cocoa class ViewController: NSViewController { let savePanel = NSSavePanel() override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() let view = NSGridView(views: [[NSTextField(string: "111111")], [NSTextField(string: "22222222")]]) savePanel.accessoryView = view } override func viewWillAppear() { savePanel.runModal() } } Crash report: Cannot remove an observer <TUINSCursorUIController 0x600001844340> for the key path "visible" from <NSSavePanel 0x10ff05200> because it is not registered as an observer.

Live Q&A Summary - SwiftUI foundations: Build great apps with SwiftUI
Here’s a recap of the Live Q&A for SwiftUI foundations: Build great apps with SwiftUI. If you participated and asked questions, thank you for coming and participating! If you weren’t able to join us live we hope this recap is useful Where can I watch the VOD? Is the sample code “Wishlist” that was shown available for download? You can view the replay of the entire event here SwiftUI foundations: Build great apps with SwiftUI The sample code for Wishlist is available here What are the best practices when it comes to building complex navigations in SwiftUI? The developer website has documentation on navigation style best practices. Explore navigation basics like NavigationStack and TabView to get a ground-up understanding. For documentation on navigation APIs see Navigation. ‎ How can I integrate UIKit with my SwiftUI app? What about adding SwiftUI into my UIKit app? See UIKit integration: Add UIKit views to your SwiftUI app, or use SwiftUI views in your UIKit app. Both UIKit and SwiftUI provide API to show a view hierarchy of the other. For UIKit to SwiftUI, you would use UIViewControllerRepresentable. For SwiftUI to UIKit, you would use UIHostingController. Landmarks: Interfacing with UIKit walks you through step by step how to implement UIKit in SwiftUI with UIViewControllerRepresentable, and this WWDC22 video demonstrates UIHostingController, for those that want to add SwiftUI to their UIKit. ‎ Does Wishlist feature a new iOS 26 font? How can I add custom fonts and text of my app? We’re glad to hear many of you liked wide text shown in Wishlist, however, It is the default system font with some light SwiftUI styling! Check it out for yourself in the sample code when made available, and you can learn more about customizing fonts and text by seeing Font and Applying custom fonts to text. ‎ Does Xcode have a dependency graph we can use to optimize our SwiftUI Views? Xcode comes with Instruments. Instruments is the best way to figure out what is causing excessive updates and other issues with performance. That link provides direct tutorials and resources for how to use and understand. Previews also have many useful tools for analyzing SwiftUI views, for more info see Previews in Xcode Check out this video from our latest WWDC Optimize SwiftUI performance with Instruments for information on how to use Instruments to profile and optimize your app with real-world applications If you still have questions, Check out the Instruments section of these forums and create a post so the community has the opportunity to help guide you. ‎ Are there UI debugging tools to help diagnose layout issues? Yes, Xcode also features a View Debugger located by selecting the View Debug Hierarchy, pictured below. Use the View Debugger to capture and inspect your view hierarchy, identifying which views affect window sizing. The SwiftUI Inspector also lets you examine view frames and layout behavior. See Diagnosing issues in the appearance of a running app to learn about debugging visual and layout issues. ‎ As an absolute beginner, what would be the first go-to step to go for training? Do I need prior knowledge of frameworks to get started with SwiftUI? A great place to learn how to develop for Apple platforms is with Pathways! Many developers start with Develop in Swift tutorials, which exposes you to several frameworks while teaching you the basics of SwiftUI. When you're ready to take your learning further, you can read the documentation for the specific frameworks that interest you at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/. ‎

Glass Effect Label Shadow Clipping During Morph Animation
Hi all, I’m experiencing a visual bug when applying the glass effect to a Label in Liquid Glass (current version 26.2 on simulator; also reproducible in 26.3.1 on device). Issue: On a label with .glassEffect(.regular), when collapsing via morph animation, the shadow is clipped during the animation, and then suddenly "pops" back to its un-clipped state, resulting in a jarring visual effect. Minimal Example: import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { Menu { Button("Duplicate", action: {}) Button("Rename", action: {}) Button("Delete…", action: {}) } label: { Label("PDF", systemImage: "doc.fill") .padding() .glassEffect(.regular) } } } #Preview { ContentView() } I am not sure if I am misusing the .glassEffect() on the label and maybe there is another more native way of achieving this look? Any advice or workaround suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

hapticpatternlibrary.plist error with Text entry fields in Simulator only
When I have a TextField or TextEditor, tapping into it produces these two console entries about 18 times each: CHHapticPattern.mm:487 +[CHHapticPattern patternForKey:error:]: Failed to read pattern library data: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=260 "The file “hapticpatternlibrary.plist” couldn’t be opened because there is no such file." UserInfo={NSFilePath=/Library/Audio/Tunings/Generic/Haptics/Library/hapticpatternlibrary.plist, NSURL=file:///Library/Audio/Tunings/Generic/Haptics/Library/hapticpatternlibrary.plist, NSUnderlyingError=0x600000ca1b30 {Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=2 "No such file or directory"}} <_UIKBFeedbackGenerator: 0x600003505290>: Error creating CHHapticPattern: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=260 "The file “hapticpatternlibrary.plist” couldn’t be opened because there is no such file." UserInfo={NSFilePath=/Library/Audio/Tunings/Generic/Haptics/Library/hapticpatternlibrary.plist, NSURL=file:///Library/Audio/Tunings/Generic/Haptics/Library/hapticpatternlibrary.plist, NSUnderlyingError=0x600000ca1b30 {Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=2 "No such file or directory"}} My app does not use haptics. This doesn't appear to cause any issues, although entering text can feel a bit sluggish (even on device), but I am unable to determine relatedness. None-the-less, it definitely is a lot of log noise. Code to reproduce in simulator (xcode 26.2; ios 26 or 18, with iPhone 16 Pro or iPhone 17 Pro): import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @State private var textEntered: String = "" @State private var textEntered2: String = "" @State private var textEntered3: String = "" var body: some View { VStack { Spacer() TextField("Tap Here", text: $textEntered) TextField("Tap Here Too", text: $textEntered2) TextEditor(text: $textEntered3) .overlay(RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 8).strokeBorder(.primary, lineWidth: 1)) .frame(height: 100) Spacer() } } } #Preview { ContentView() } Tapping back and forth in these fields generates the errors each time. Thanks, Steve

Third-party credential manager not appearing in Apple Passwords "Export Data to Another App" list — iOS 26
Hi, I'm building a third-party credential manager app and trying to get it listed as an eligible destination in Apple Passwords → Export Data to Another App on iOS 26 / macOS 26. The app never appears in the list, even on a physical device. What I've implemented so far: The main app and the Credential Provider Extension both have the com.apple.developer.authentication-services.autofill-credential-provider entitlement set. The extension's Info.plist has ASCredentialProviderExtensionCapabilities nested correctly under NSExtension → NSExtensionAttributes, with ProvidesPasskeys and ProvidesPasswords both set to true. Both targets share the same App Group. The extension is visible and selectable under Settings → General → AutoFill & Passwords — so the extension itself is working. I've also added ASCredentialImportManager and ASCredentialExportManager support to the app based on the AuthenticationServices SDK interfaces in Xcode 26. The specific question: What is the actual eligibility criteria for appearing in the "Export Data to Another App" destination list in Apple Passwords? Is there a specific Info.plist key, entitlement, or capability declaration required beyond what's already needed for the Credential Provider Extension? The WWDC25 session (279) mentions ASCredentialExportManager and ASCredentialImportManager but doesn't describe the discovery mechanism that determines which apps are listed. Currently, only Google Chrome appear in the list on my test device. I'd like to understand whether this is a capability/entitlement issue, an App Store review requirement, or a beta limitation that will open up later. Any guidance from the team would be greatly appreciated.

File Export from iOS - eventually import too
iOS 15 - iOS 26.x, SwiftUI, Xcode 26.1.1 (rewritten without links) I’m attempting to add the capability to export a file from CoreData. Since ShareLink requires iOS16+, I found an article showing how to create a UIKit wrapper for 'UIActivityViewController' This does work, but I end up with multiple files instead of one. How do I merge this into one file? Note: I don’t think I want to write to the app’s document directory – rather I’d like to allow the user to export to iCloud. Eventually, I’d like to share a list of dates with descriptions and if someone puts a sensitive date in there – I don’t want it to be left in a directory. I would include a warning that the file that they export needs to be handled with care if there are any sensitive dates. Some might consider birthdays as private information, right? I'd also like to be able to name the file - so far when the share sheet comes up, I select "Save to Files" and it uses a default name of text.txt My next step is to be able to import a CSV file (roundtrip) - could you point me to resources for how to do that?

The largeTitle of UINavigationBar disappears after scrolling on iOS 26.1
My project uses the UINavigationController's largeTitle on the latest iOS 26.1, but I found that when I set the backgroundColor, the navigation bar's largeTitle disappeared after switching between normal and large titles. I checked the latest documentation and consulted AI, but I have not found any good solutions. For the demo project, please refer to FB20986869
