I found an issue when implementing an alert with a TextField to input a name. I want the action button to be disabled until a name has been entered, but the action block is never executed when the button has become enabled and pressed. The problem seems to appear only when name is initially an empty string. Tested with iOS 17.0.
struct MyView: View {
@State private var name = ""
var body: some View {
SomeView()
.alert(...) {
TextField("Name", text: $name)
Button("Action") {
// Action
}.disabled(name.isEmpty)
Button("Cancel", role: .cancel) {}
}
}
}

Hi! When building my app using Xcode 16, fast scrolling (using scrollViewProxy.scrollTo) a list would result in items not appearing even when scrolling stopped. This does not happen when the app is built with Xcode 15, even on iOS 18.
I'm also getting this error in the logs: List failed to visit cell content, returning an empty cell. - SwiftUICore/Logging.swift:84 - please file a bug report.
I have a few view controllers in a large UIKit application that previously started showing content right below the bottom of the top navigation toolbar.
When testing the same code on iOS 26, these same views have their content extend under the navigation bar and toolbar. I was able to fix it with:
if #available(iOS 26, *, *) {
self.edgesForExtendedLayout = [.bottom]
}
when running on iOS 26. I also fixed one or two places where the main view was anchored to self.view.topAnchor instead of self.view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.topAnchor.
Although this seems to work, I wonder if this was an intended change in iOS 26 or just a temporary bug in the beta that will be resolved.
Were changes made to the safe area and edgesForExtendedLayout logic in iOS 26? If so, is there a place I can see what the specific changes were, so I know my code is handling it properly?
Thanks!

In beta 2 using layer.cornerRadius on a UIEffectView with the UIGlassEffect allowed you to change the corner radius of the view. In beta 3, this no longer works. WWDC videos indicate the right way to do this is to set the cornerConfiguration on the UIEffectView, but that API doesn't seem to be available yet. At this time it doesn't seem like theres a way to have a glass view that isn't pill shaped.
When integrating the Automatic Sign-In API on physical devices (iPhone SE with iOS 26.0 and Apple TV with tvOS 26.0), the call to requestAutoSignInAuthorization() results in an immediate error stating "Service temporarily unavailable." This prevents the app from obtaining the necessary authorization context to proceed with token updates and the Automatic Sign-In flow.
The issue occurs specifically at the authorization request stage and does not progress to calling updateAutoSignInToken(), since it does not acquire conditions for it. All entitlement and sandbox setup have been verified and are correctly configured.

On iOS 18, while on a modal screen, if the scrolling starts on a button, that button gets pressed, outside of a modal this doesn't reproduce, also not reproducible on older iOS versions, neither on modals or outside of them.
The code to reproduce the issue:
import SwiftUI
struct ContentView: View {
@State var presentModal = false
var body: some View {
Button(action: {
presentModal = true
}, label: {
Text("open modal")
})
.sheet(isPresented: $presentModal, content: {
ScrollView {
ForEach(0..<100, id: \.self) { index in
Button(action: {
print("Button \(index) tapped!")
}) {
Text("Button \(index)")
.frame(maxWidth: .infinity)
.frame(height: 100)
.background(randomColor(for: index))
.padding(.horizontal)
}
}
}
})
}
func randomColor(for index: Int) -> Color {
let hue = Double(index % 100) / 100.0
return Color(hue: hue, saturation: 0.8, brightness: 0.8)
}
}
#Preview {
ContentView()
}
I'm working on a NavigationStack based app. Somewhere I'm using:
@Environment(\.dismiss) private var dismiss
and when trying to navigate to that view it gets stuck.
I used Self._printChanges() and discovered the environment variable dismiss is changing repeatedly. Obviously I am not changing that variable explicitly. I wasn't able to reproduce this in a small project so far, but does anybody have any idea what kind of thing I could be doing that might be causing this issue?
iOS 17.0.3
Making the call as:
UIApplication.shared.open(websiteURL)
doesn't open the browser and gives the following in the console:
BUG IN CLIENT OF UIKIT: The caller of UIApplication.openURL(:) needs to migrate to the non-deprecated UIApplication.open(:options:completionHandler:). Force returning false (NO).
However, making the call as:
UIApplication.shared.open(websiteURL) { _ in }
opens the browser and there is nothing in the cosole.
Does someone understand why is this or if it's Apple's iOS 18 bug? In the iOS & iPadOS 18 RC Release Notes | Apple Developer Documentation there is a section around resolving this or something similar, unsure.

Description
When presenting a SwiftUI WebView (native iOS 26 component) or a WKWebView/UIWebView via UIViewRepresentable, focusing a text field inside the web view and then dismissing it breaks the keyboard layout behavior.
After returning to the main app, tapping any TextField causes the keyboard to cover bottom controls (e.g. buttons). Expected safe area insets are not applied.
The issue is only resolved after closing and reopening the keyboard once.
Steps to Reproduce
Open a SwiftUI screen with WebView (via .sheet or NavigationLink).
Inside the web view, tap a text field to show the keyboard.
Dismiss the web view.
Tap a TextField in the main app.
Expected Result
Layout should adjust correctly.
Bottom controls stay visible above the keyboard.
Actual Result
Keyboard covers bottom controls.
Insets are ignored until the keyboard is dismissed and reopened.
Notes
Reproduces with:
Native SwiftUI WebView (iOS 26)
WKWebView and UIWebView via UIViewRepresentable
Presentation style (.sheet or navigation push) does not matter.

Hi,
I've run into two problems using SwiftData in iOS 18 that are total show-stoppers for my app, causing it to run out of memory and be killed by the system. The same app runs fine on iOS 17.
The two problems are inter-related in a way I can't exactly diagnose, but are easy to reproduce.
Problem #1: Calling .count on the array that represents a relationship or Query causes the whole array of objects to be loaded into memory.
Problem #2: When a @Model object is loaded, properties that are declared with .externalStorage are loaded unnecessarily, and use tons of memory.
It's possible that #1 is normal behavior, exacerbated by #2.
I've written a test app that demonstrates the extreme difference in memory usage between the OS Versions. It uses a typical navigation pattern, with content counts on the left-side view. Each item has one thumbnail and one large image in .externalStorge. GitHub Source
When populated with 80 items, each containing one thumbnail and one large image in .externalStorge, the app launches in 17.5 using 29mb of memory. On iOS 18, in the same conditions, 592 mb.
When the first folder is selected, causing a list of thumbnails to load, iOS 17 uses just 86mb. iOS 18 uses 599mb, implying that all image data has already been loaded.
So I'm asking for help from Apple or the Community in finding a workaround. I've been advised that finding a workaround may be necessary, as this may not be addressed in 18.0.
Thanks in advance for any insight.
Radars: FB14323833, FB14323934
(See attached images, or try it yourself)
(You may notice in the 18.0 screenshots that the item counts don't add up right. That's yet another 18.0-SwiftData anomaly regarding relationships that I haven't tackled yet, but is also demonstrated by the sample app.)
I'm being faced with an issue when using SwiftUI's WebView on iOS 26. In many websites, the top/bottom content is unaccessible due to being under the app's toolbars. It feels like the WebView doesn't really understand the safe areas where it's being shown, because the content should start right below the navigation bar, and only when the user scrolls down, the content should move under the bar (but it's always reachable if the users scroll back up).
Here's a demo of the issue:
Here's a 'fix' by ensuring that the content of the WebView never leaves its bounds. But as you can see, it feels out of place on iOS 26 (would be fine on previous OS versions if you had a fully opaque toolbar):
Code:
struct ContentView: View {
var body: some View {
NavigationStack {
WebView(url: URL(string: "https://apple.com")).toolbar {
ToolbarItem(placement: .primaryAction) {
Button("Top content covered, unaccessible.") {}
}
}
}
}
}
Does anyone know if there's a way to fix it using some sort of view modifier combination or it's just broken as-is?
I have a simple example to demonstrate...
struct MyView: View {
var body: some View {
Text("WOW")
}
}
struct MyOtherView: View {
var body: some View {
NavigationStack {
Text("WOW")
}
}
}
On VisionOS, MyOtherView has a glass background effect that cannot be disabled. glassBackgroundEffect(displayMode: .never) .background(.clear), .foregroundColor(.clear), none of them work.
I then resorted to the SwiftUIIntrospect package to try set .clear on various child objects of the NavigationStack but nothing is working.
I am in control of my own glass containers. I have a couple with space between them, but with the NavigationStack it sets a background behind both of them ruining the effect.
This is what MyOtherView renders as:
I'm looking for it to be completely transparent except the text. Like the below layout.
For now I will have to roll my own navigation.
In iOS 26, the Slider control no longer respects the step parameter. For example,
import SwiftUI
struct ContentView: View {
@State private var sliderValue: CGFloat = 16
var body: some View {
Slider(
value: $sliderValue,
in: 0...100,
step: 5,
onEditingChanged: { editing in
print(sliderValue)
}
)
}
}
In iOS 18, this prints values like 5, 35, 60, 95, etc. In iOS 26.0 (release version), this prints floats that are not rounded to the nearest 5, and the slider does not snap to values ending in 5.

I've discovered an issue with using iOS 16's Transferable drag-and-drop APIs for SwiftUI. The dropDestination modifier does not work when applied to a subview of a List.
This code below will not work, unless you replace the List with a VStack or any other container (which, of course, removes all list-specific rendering).
The draggable modifier will still work and the item will drag, but the dropDestination view won't react to it and neither closure will be called.
struct MyView: View {
var body: some View {
List {
Section {
Text("drag this title")
.font(.largeTitle)
.draggable("a title")
}
Section {
Color.pink
.frame(width: 400, height: 400)
.dropDestination(for: String.self) { receivedTitles, location in
true
} isTargeted: {
print($0)
}
}
}
}
}
Has anyone encountered this bug and perhaps found a workaround?
Since iOS 18.3, icons are no longer generated correctly with QLThumbnailGenerator.
No error is returned either.
But this error message now appears in the console:
Error returned from iconservicesagent image request: <ISTypeIcon: 0x3010f91a0>,Type: com.adobe.pdf - <ISImageDescriptor: 0x302f188c0> - (36.00, 36.00)@3x v:1 l:5 a:0:0:0:0 t:() b:0 s:2 ps:0 digest: B19540FD-0449-3E89-AC50-38F92F9760FE error: Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-609 "Client is disallowed from making such an icon request" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Client is disallowed from making such an icon request}
Does anyone know this error? Is there a workaround?
Are there new permissions to consider?
Here is the code how icons are generated:
let request = QLThumbnailGenerator.Request(fileAt: url, size: size, scale: scale, representationTypes: self.thumbnailType)
request.iconMode = true
let generator = QLThumbnailGenerator.shared
generator.generateRepresentations(for: request) { [weak self] thumbnail, _, error in
}
In WWDC25 video 284: Build a UIKit app with the new design, there is mention of a cornerConfiguration property on UIVisualEffectView. But this properly isn't documented and Xcode 26 isn't aware of any such property.
I'm trying to replicate the results of that video in the section titled Custom Elements starting at the 19:15 point. There is a lot of missing details and typos in the code associated with that video.
My attempts with UIGlassEffect and UIViewEffectView do not result in any capsule shapes. I just get rectangles with no rounded corners at all.
As an experiment, I am trying to recreate the capsule with the layers/location buttons in the iOS 26 version of the Maps app.
I put the following code in a view controller's viewDidLoad method
let imgCfgLayer = UIImage.SymbolConfiguration(hierarchicalColor: .systemGray)
let imgLayer = UIImage(systemName: "square.2.layers.3d.fill", withConfiguration: imgCfgLayer)
var cfgLayer = UIButton.Configuration.plain()
cfgLayer.image = imgLayer
let btnLayer = UIButton(configuration: cfgLayer, primaryAction: UIAction(handler: { _ in
print("layer")
}))
var cfgLoc = UIButton.Configuration.plain()
let imgLoc = UIImage(systemName: "location")
cfgLoc.image = imgLoc
let btnLoc = UIButton(configuration: cfgLoc, primaryAction: UIAction(handler: { _ in
print("location")
}))
let bgEffect = UIGlassEffect()
bgEffect.isInteractive = true
let bg = UIVisualEffectView(effect: bgEffect)
bg.contentView.addSubview(btnLayer)
bg.contentView.addSubview(btnLoc)
view.addSubview(bg)
btnLayer.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
btnLoc.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
bg.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
btnLayer.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: bg.contentView.leadingAnchor),
btnLayer.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: bg.contentView.trailingAnchor),
btnLayer.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: bg.contentView.topAnchor),
btnLoc.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: bg.contentView.centerXAnchor),
btnLoc.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: btnLayer.bottomAnchor, constant: 15),
btnLoc.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: bg.contentView.bottomAnchor),
bg.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.centerXAnchor),
bg.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.topAnchor, constant: 40),
])
The result is pretty close other than the complete lack of capsule shape.
What changes would be needed to get the capsule shape? Is this even the proper approach?
Using the iOS 26 beta simulator, I am experiencing a crash using the QLPreviewController. This is easily reproduced using a small sample app and a sample excel file in the bundle. It does work in prior Xcode 16.4 and simulators (18.5). I didn't find any mention of this in Xcode 26 or iOS 26 release notes but I could have missed something. I don't have a spare device to update to iOS 26 and try on a real device so it may just be a simulator issue? Any feedback would be helpful. Thanks.

Hey,
The new "soft" scroll edge effect is really cool! But it seems to only appear when you add toolbar items.
Is there a way to add it for "custom" views as well, that I place in a safe area inset?
For example, the messages app in iOS 26 does this. There's a text field as a safe area inset as well as a soft scroll edge effect.
Thanks!

Zoom transition originating from inside tabViewBottomAccessory, when the binding passed to fullScreenCover's item is a Binding other than a "$-synthesized" binding, the animation fails with the following error (and crucially fails to perform the desired animation):
Starting a zoom transition from a nil view will trigger a fallback transition. To get the best possible teansition, be sure to provide a view that's visible and in a window.
What I want to do is pass a binding to a property inside an ObservableObject (or @Observable, but it doesn't matter) to hold the item representing the presentation. But this stopped working as of 26.1b4. It worked in 26.1b3 and in 26.0 (and 26.0.1)
Here's the gist of code that will reproduce the issue (I've omitted irrelevant details in the interest of brevity):
struct ContentView: View {
@Binding var presentation: PresentationDestination?
@Namespace private var animation
var body: some View {
// Omitted TabView stuff…
.tabViewBottomAccessory {
miniPlayer
.matchedTransitionSource(
id: "player",
in: animation
)
}
.fullScreenCover(
item: $presentation,
content: { _ in
fullScreenPlayer
.navigationTransition(
.zoom(
sourceID: "player",
in: animation
)
)
})
}
As you can see, ContentView takes a Binding to the presentation, but it matters how this binding is constructed.
This works:
@State private var presentation: PresentationDestination
…
ContentView(presentation: $presentation)
This fails (as does ObservableObject with @Published):
@Observable
class Router2 {
var presentation: PresentationDestination?
}
…
@State private var router2 = Router2()
…
ContentView(presentation: $router2.presentation)
Also, this fails:
@State private var presentation: PresentationDestination
…
ContentView(
presentation: .init(get: {
presentation
}, set: { newValue in
presentation = newValue
})
)
These differences are unexpected, of course. I consider this a regression in 26.1b4
I should add that if I move the source of the transition to somewhere outside tabViewBottomAccessory things seem to work fine.
Summary
In iOS 18, the UICollectionViewDelegate method
collectionView(_:targetIndexPathForMoveOfItemFromOriginalIndexPath:atCurrentIndexPath:toProposedIndexPath:)
is not being called when moving items in a UICollectionView. This method works as expected in iOS 17.5 and earlier versions.
Steps to Reproduce
Create a UICollectionView with drag and drop enabled.
Implement the UICollectionViewDelegate method:
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, targetIndexPathForMoveOfItemFromOriginalIndexPath originalIndexPath: IndexPath, atCurrentIndexPath currentIndexPath: IndexPath, toProposedIndexPath proposedIndexPath: IndexPath) -> IndexPath {
print("🐸 Move")
return proposedIndexPath
}
Run the app on iOS 18.
Attempt to drag and drop items within the collection view.
Expected Behavior
The method should be called during the drag and drop operation, and "🐸 Move" should be printed to the console.
Actual Behavior
The method is not called, and nothing is printed to the console. The drag and drop operation still occurs, but without invoking this delegate method.
