I'm having this problem, with this code: let docPicker = UIDocumentPickerViewController(forOpeningContentTypes: [ .pdf ]) docPicker.delegate = self docPicker.modalPresentationStyle = .currentContext view.window?.rootViewController?.present(docPicker, animated: true, completion: nil) but then when I open the simulator and click the button that calls to the method that has this code... Cannot pick the pdf document. Testing in browserstack with real devices is working, but it's a very slow process, why I cannot use simulators to make work this?

Could an Apple employee that works on SwiftUI please explain the update() func in the DynamicProperty protocol? The docs have ambiguous information, e.g. "Updates the underlying value of the stored value." and "SwiftUI calls this function before rendering a view’s body to ensure the view has the most recent value." From: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/dynamicproperty/update() How can it both set the underlying value and get the most recent value? What does underlying value mean? What does stored value mean? E.g. Is the code below correct? struct MyProperty: DynamicProperty { var x = 0 mutating func update() { // get x from external storage x = storage.loadX() } } Or should it be: struct MyProperty: DynamicProperty { let x: Int init(x: Int) { self.x = x } func update() { // set x on external storage storage.save(x: x) } } This has always been a mystery to me because of the ambigious docs so thought it was time to post a question.

Hi, I see some apps like LinkedIn that doesn't support multi view or split views on iPad, but seems this feature is enabled by default to any new project in Xcode, how to disable it ? Kind Regards

I'm not quite sure where the problem is, but I will describe what I am doing to recreate the issue, and am happy to provide whatever information I can to be more useful. I am changing the ActivationPolicy for my app in order to make it unobtrusive when in the background (e.g. hiding it from the dock and using only a menu bar status item). When the user activates the app with a hotkey, it changes from NSApplicationActivationPolicyAccessory back to NSApplicationActivationPolicyRegular. This allows normal usage (dock icon, menu bar, etc.) This works fine, except in a rare situation which I finally just tracked down. If there is a window open in the app and I use the hotkey to convert back to an accessory, and then disconnect and reconnect the display on which the app was previously displayed, when I convert the app back to "regular mode", the menu bar has disappeared (and I am left with an empty space at the top of the screen). I can also trigger this bug by having the display in question briefly mirror the other display (effectively "orphaning" the hidden app), and then restoring the original side-by-side configuration before activating the app again. The app otherwise works, but the menu bar is missing. Switching back and forth with other apps does not fix the problem. Quitting and restarting the app resolves the issue. As does disabling the accessory only mode and forcing the app to always remain in "regular mode" with a dock icon (there is a preference for this in my app). Once fixed, I can then re-enable the "accessory mode" and all is well until the bug is triggered again. The bug would normally occur quite sporadically, presumably requiring a particular combination of changing Spaces or displays, or having the computer go to sleep while this app was in accessory mode. Thus far, the above is the only way I have found that can replicate this issue on demand. If I close all windows before hiding the app, then it works fine when I revert to "regular mode". It only happens if there is a window open at the time. Using applicationDidChangeScreenParameters: on my AppDelegate indicates that there is a change in screen, and logging window.screen.frame for each open window in [NSApp orderedWindows] shows that the size changes from e.g. 1920x1080 to 0x0 and back while the display is disconnected or mirrored. There is also an error in the console in Xcode when this happens -- invalid display identifier <some UUID>. I have tried various options for window collectionBehavior, as well as various settings for Spaces (which I normally use). None of these changes has fixed the behavior thus far. I use [NSApp hide:self]; from my AppDelegate to hide the app, and [[NSRunningApplication currentApplication] activateWithOptions:NSApplicationActivateAllWindows];[NSApp unhide:self]; to bring it back to the front. I welcome any ideas for things to chase down, or requests for more specific information that would be useful. Thank you! Fletcher

Hi, I am having trouble setting default focus on a TextField that is inside of an alert. I expected TextField to receive default focus when alert is presented but result is that TextField does not receive default focus. This is happening on macOS 15.2, Swift (SwiftUI), Xcode 16.2 but hasn't worked on previous versions as well. Example: ContentView().alert("Sample Alert", isPresented: $present) { AlertView() } message: { Text("Sample alert message.") } struct AlertView: View { @Namespace private var namespace @Environment(\.dismiss) private var dismiss @State private var text = "" var body: some View { VStack { TextField(text: $text, prompt: Text("Enter text")) {} .onSubmit { var _ = print(text) dismiss() } .autocorrectionDisabled() .lineLimit(1) .prefersDefaultFocus(in: namespace) Button("OK") { dismiss() } Button("Cancel", role: .cancel) { dismiss() } } .focusScope(namespace) } }

I don't know why, but for my MacCatalyst target, I have to make my view controller Y orgin 36 and the subtract the view height by 36 points, or the view is clipped. The following works in my main UIViewController, but feels super hacky. I'd feel better if I understood the issue and addressed it properly. override func viewWillLayoutSubviews() { super.viewWillLayoutSubviews() #if targetEnvironment(macCatalyst) if view.frame.origin.y < 1 { let f = UIApplication.shared.sceneBounds let newFrame = CGRect(x: 0.0, y: 36, width: f.size.width, height: f.size.height - 36) self.view.frame = newFrame } #endif } My guess is it starts the view under the title bar, but I have these set in the view controller: self.extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars = false self.edgesForExtendedLayout = []

I am trying to support dragging out a 'file' object from my app into Finder, on macOS. I have my object conform to Transferable and the files are saved on disk locally, so I just want to pass it the URL. This works fine when dragging out to other apps, like Notes or Mail, but not in Finder. I setup a ProxyRepresentation as well, as suggested by another thread, but it doesn't seem to help. Is there any other setup I need to do in the Xcode project file for it to work, or is there something else that I'm missing? @available(iOSApplicationExtension 17.0, macOSApplicationExtension 14.0, *) extension FileAttachments: Transferable { public static var transferRepresentation: some TransferRepresentation { FileRepresentation(exportedContentType: UTType.content) { content in SentTransferredFile(content.fullFileURL(), allowAccessingOriginalFile: false) } .exportingCondition { file in if let fileUTI = UTType(filenameExtension: file.fullFileURL().pathExtension), let fileURL = file.fullFileURL() { print("FileAttachments: FileRepresentation exportingCondition fileUTI: \(fileUTI) for file: \(fileURL)") return fileUTI.conforms(to: UTType.content) } return false } .suggestedFileName{$0.fileRenamedName} ProxyRepresentation { file in if let fileURL = file.fullFileURL() { print("FileAttachments: ProxyRepresentation returning file") return fileURL } return file.fullFileURL()! } } }

Hi, I have a form on an iPad App I'm developing and the form have text field at its bottom when tapping on it the keyboard cover those text fields how to solve this issue leave a hug gap at bottom of the form so text field jump to top when keyboard shows ? Kind Regards

The pitch slider is not supported on tvOS yet it displays when using the Map() view. Does anyone know how to hide it? It's really getting in the way of my UI.

I filed FB16332997 about the VERY high snowfall estimates I'm seeing in WeatherKit and iOS Weather. I initially thought something was wrong with my weather app but I verified the numbers with the iOS Weather app and another third party weather app. For Atlanta last week it was saying 7.5" when it ended up being 2" (which I can live with). Two days ago it reported there could be 16" of snow in northern Florida. That's impossible! This morning it was reporting that Niceville could have 6-7" of snow, which would be significantly more than highest amount in recorded history for Florida (where snow is extremely rare). It almost makes me wonder if the liquid precipitation value is actually the snowfall amount in reality. And then that is incorrectly being converted to the snowfall amount.

class ViewController: UIViewController { override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() view.backgroundColor = .white do { let shapeLayer = CAShapeLayer() shapeLayer.frame = CGRect(x: 50, y: 100, width: 200, height: 108) let path = UIBezierPath(roundedRect: shapeLayer.bounds, cornerRadius: 36) shapeLayer.path = path.cgPath shapeLayer.fillColor = UIColor.orange.cgColor view.layer.addSublayer(shapeLayer) } do { let layer = CALayer() layer.backgroundColor = UIColor.blue.cgColor layer.cornerRadius = 36 layer.frame = CGRect(x: 50, y: 300, width: 200, height: 108) view.layer.addSublayer(layer) } } } The corner radius is set to 36 through CAShapeLayer, but the actual effect is larger than 36, close to half of the height. Setting it through CALayer is fine Can anyone explain it to me? Thank you

I am working on the EndPoint DLP solution project. So I want to monitor the paste operation peformed by the user. So when he uses the keyboard keys then I can monitor them using the event callback. But if user uses the GUI for pasting the data then how can I monitor that ?

In iOS 18 widget, button is broken when it's has an accented desaturated image as content, the button's AppIntent will not trigger perform function. checkout the code below: ` struct WidgetExtEntryView : View { var entry: Provider.Entry var body: some View { VStack { Text("count:") Text("\(WidgetExtAppIntent.count)") HStack { // button can not be tapped Button(intent: WidgetExtAppIntent(action: "+1")) { VStack { Image(systemName: "plus.square.fill").resizable() .widgetAccentedRenderingMode(.accentedDesaturated) // <-- here .frame(width: 50, height: 50) Text("Broken") } }.tint(.red) // button can be tapped Button(intent: WidgetExtAppIntent(action: "+1")) { VStack { Image(systemName: "plus.square.fill").resizable() .widgetAccentedRenderingMode(.fullColor) // <-- here .frame(width: 50, height: 50) Text("OK").frame(width: 50, alignment: .center) } }.tint(.green) } .minimumScaleFactor(0.5) } } } ` check out the full demo project: ButtonInWidgetBrokenIOS18

According to the MVVM design pattern, one of my views depends on many properties in my model. Can I use logic like @published var model = MyModel()? Will there be a large performance loss? Will the UI be refreshed when other unrelated properties in the model are modified? What is the best practice in this case?

Hi Team, We are AAER for Apple and have come across multiple request from customers of BYOD iOS devices that they want to block screenshot and screen sharing for specific work apps like outlook on BYOD iOS devices. Is there any specific App Config Plist for Outlook or .ipa file that will allow us to achieve this.

Dear Sirs, I'm searching for the most straightforward way to identify the root of a "Publishing changes from within view updates is not allowed, this will cause undefined behavior." warning. It is a complex SwiftUI project and I think there should be a better way than just try and error with disabling/removing and enabling/adding different screen elements to check if the warning still is shown. I tried to set a symbolic breakpoint for "os_log" in my XCode project and indeed this is triggered right before the warning appears but the callstack doesn't give me a direct hint to the part of my code which causes this warning. What would be the most direct way and is there something like an exception handler in such cases? Thanks and best regards, Johannes

I am working on a SwiftUI project where I need to dynamically update the UI by adding or removing components based on some event. The challenge is handling complex UI structures efficiently while ensuring smooth animations and state management. Example Scenario: I have a screen displaying a list of items. When a user taps an item, additional details (like a subview or expanded section) should appear dynamically. If the user taps again, the additional content should disappear. The UI should animate these changes smoothly without causing unnecessary re-renders. My Current Approach: I have tried using @State and if conditions to toggle views, like this: struct ContentView: View { @State private var showDetails = false var body: some View { VStack { Button("Toggle Details") { showDetails.toggle() } if showDetails { Text("Additional Information") .transition(.slide) // Using animation } } .animation(.easeInOut, value: showDetails) } } However, in complex UI scenarios where multiple components need to be shown/hidden dynamically, this approach is not maintainable and could cause performance issues. I need help with the below questions. Questions: State Management: Should I use @State, @Binding, or @ObservedObject for handling dynamic UI updates efficiently? Best Practices: What are the best practices for structuring SwiftUI views to handle dynamic updates without excessive re-renders? Performance Optimization: How can I prevent unnecessary recomputations when updating only specific UI sections? Animations & Transitions: What is the best way to apply animations smoothly while toggling visibility of multiple components? Advanced Approaches: Are there better techniques using @EnvironmentObject, ViewBuilder, or even GeometryReader for dynamically adjusting UI layouts? Any insights, code examples, or resources would be greatly appreciated.

I encountered an issue with UITextView on iOS 18 where, when typing Pinyin, extra Unicode characters such as U+2004 are inserted unexpectedly. This occurs when using a Chinese input method. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set up a UITextView with a standard delegate implementation. 2. Use a Pinyin input method to type the character “ㄨ”. 3. Observe that after the character “ㄨ” is typed, extra spaces (U+2004) are inserted automatically between the characters. Code Example: class ViewController: UIViewController { @IBOutlet weak var textView: UITextView! override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() // Do any additional setup after loading the view. } } extension ViewController: UITextViewDelegate { func textView(_ textView: UITextView, shouldChangeTextIn range: NSRange, replacementText text: String) -> Bool { print("shouldChangeTextIn: range \(range)") print("shouldChangeTextIn: replacementText \(text)") return true } func textViewDidChange(_ textView: UITextView) { let currentText = textView.text ?? "" let unicodeValues = currentText.unicodeScalars.map { String(format: "U+%04X", $0.value) }.joined(separator: " ") print("textViewDidChange: textView.text: \(currentText)") print("textViewDidChange: Unicode Scalars: \(unicodeValues)") } } Output: shouldChangeTextIn: range {0, 0} shouldChangeTextIn: replacementText ㄨ textViewDidChange: textView.text: ㄨ textViewDidChange: Unicode Scalars: U+3128 ------------------------ shouldChangeTextIn: range {1, 0} shouldChangeTextIn: replacementText ㄨ textViewDidChange: textView.text: ㄨ ㄨ textViewDidChange: Unicode Scalars: U+3128 U+2004 U+3128 ------------------------ shouldChangeTextIn: range {3, 0} shouldChangeTextIn: replacementText ㄨ textViewDidChange: textView.text: ㄨ ㄨ ㄨ textViewDidChange: Unicode Scalars: U+3128 U+2004 U+3128 U+2004 U+3128 This issue may affect text processing, especially in cases where precise text manipulation is required, such as calculating ranges in shouldChangeTextIn.
