Zoom navigation transitions for tabViewBottomAccessory are not working in SwiftUI with ObservableObject or Observable
The zoom navigation transition with matchedTransitionSource in tabViewBottomAccessory does not work when a Published var in an ObservableObjector Observable gets changed. Here is an minimal reproducible example with ObservableObject: import SwiftUI import Combine private final class ViewModel: ObservableObject { @Published var isPresented = false } struct ContentView: View { @Namespace private var namespace @StateObject private var viewModel = ViewModel() // @State private var isPresented = false var body: some View { TabView { Button { viewModel.isPresented = true } label: { Text("Start") } .tabItem { Image(systemName: "house") Text("Home") } Text("Search") .tabItem { Image(systemName: "magnifyingglass") Text("Search") } Text("Profile") .tabItem { Image(systemName: "person") Text("Profile") } } .sheet(isPresented: $viewModel.isPresented) { Text("Sheet") .presentationDragIndicator(.visible) .navigationTransition(.zoom(sourceID: "tabViewBottomAccessoryTransition", in: namespace)) } .tabViewBottomAccessory { Button { viewModel.isPresented = true } label: { Text("BottomAccessory") } .matchedTransitionSource(id: "tabViewBottomAccessoryTransition", in: namespace) } } } However, when using only a State property everything works: import SwiftUI import Combine private final class ViewModel: ObservableObject { @Published var isPresented = false } struct ContentView: View { @Namespace private var namespace // @StateObject private var viewModel = ViewModel() @State private var isPresented = false var body: some View { TabView { Button { isPresented = true } label: { Text("Start") } .tabItem { Image(systemName: "house") Text("Home") } Text("Search") .tabItem { Image(systemName: "magnifyingglass") Text("Search") } Text("Profile") .tabItem { Image(systemName: "person") Text("Profile") } } .sheet(isPresented: $isPresented) { Text("Sheet") .presentationDragIndicator(.visible) .navigationTransition(.zoom(sourceID: "tabViewBottomAccessoryTransition", in: namespace)) } .tabViewBottomAccessory { Button { isPresented = true } label: { Text("BottomAccessory") } .matchedTransitionSource(id: "tabViewBottomAccessoryTransition", in: namespace) } } }

Illegible navigation title when presenting Map view
When building with the iOS 26 SDK (currently beta 4), the navigation title is often illegible when rendering a Map view. For example, note how the title "Choose Location" is obscured by the map's text ("South America") in the screenshot below: This screenshot is the result of the following view code: import MapKit import SwiftUI struct Demo: View { var body: some View { NavigationStack { Map() .navigationTitle(Text("Choose Location")) .navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.inline) } } } I tried using the scrollEdgeEffectStyle(_:for:) modifier to apply a scroll edge effect to the top of the screen, in hopes of making the title legible, but that doesn't seem to have any effect. Specifically, the following code seems to produce the exact same result shown in the screenshot above. import MapKit import SwiftUI struct Demo: View { var body: some View { NavigationStack { Map() .scrollEdgeEffectStyle(.hard, for: .top) // ⬅️ no apparent effect .navigationTitle(Text("Choose Location")) .navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.inline) } } } Is there a recommended way to resolve this issue so that the navigation title is always readable?

NWPathMonitor Failing
I need to check the network connection with NWPathMonitor. import Foundation import Network class NetworkViewModel: ObservableObject { let monitor = NWPathMonitor() let queue = DispatchQueue(label: "NetworkViewModel") @Published var isConnected = false var connectionDescription: String { if isConnected { return "You are connected." } else { return "You are NOT connected." } } init() { monitor.pathUpdateHandler = { path in DispatchQueue.main.async { self.isConnected = path.status == .satisfied } } monitor.start(queue: queue) } } import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @StateObject private var networkViewModel = NetworkViewModel() var body: some View { VStack { } .onAppear { if networkViewModel.isConnected { print("You are connected.") } else { print("You are NOT connected.") } } } } So there is nothing special, not at all. Yet, if I test it with a totally new Xcode project for iOS, it fails and return !isConnected. I've tested it with a macOS application. And it fails. I've tested it with an actual device. It fails. I've tested it with an old project. It still does work. I have no mere idea why new Xcode projects all fail to detect the WiFi connection. This is a total nightmare. Does anybody have a clue? thanks.

My app doesn't respond on iPhone Air iOS 26.1.
My app doesn't respond on iPhone Air iOS 26.1. After startup, my app shows the main view with a tab bar controller containing 4 navigation controllers. However, when a second-level view controller is pushed onto any navigation controller, the UI freezes and becomes unresponsive. The iPhone simulator running iOS 26.1 exhibits the same problem. The debug profile shows CPU usage at 100%. However, other devices and simulators do not have this problem.

Show main window of SwiftUI app on macOS Sequoia after auto start
It seems like it is no longer possible to open the main window of an app after the app has been launched by the system if the "Auto Start" functionality has been enabled. I am using SMAppService.mainApp to enable to auto start of my app. It is shown in the macOS system settings and the app is automatically started - but the main window is not visible. How can I change this behaviour so the main window of the app is always visible when started automatically? I have not noticed this behaviour before the release of macOS Sequoia. My app is using Swift 6 and the latest version of macOS and Xcode. Regards

SwiftUI state is maddening
I honestly thought I was getting somewhere with this, but alas, no. Every time I do anything in my List of ItemRows it jumps back to the top. Here's the setup: DataService.swift: final class DataService { static let shared = DataService() private init() {} let coreData: CoreData = CoreData() let modelData: ModelData = ModelData() } ModelData.swift: @Observable class ModelData: ObservableObject { var allItems: [ItemDetails] var standardItems: [ItemDetails] var archivedItems: [ItemDetails] init() { allItems = [] standardItems = [] archivedItems = [] } func getInitialData() { // Get all items, then split them into archived and non-archived sets, because you can't use `.filter` in a view... allItems = dataService.coreData.getAllItems() standardItems.append(contentsOf: allItems.filter { !$0.archived }) archivedItems.append(contentsOf: allItems.filter { $0.archived }) } } MainApp.swift: // Get access to the data; this singleton is a global as non-view-based functions, including the `Scene`, need to access the model data let dataService: DataService = DataService.shared @main struct MainApp: App { // Should this be @ObservedObject or @StateObject? @ObservedObject private var modelData: ModelData = dataService.modelData // I would use @StateObject if the line was... //@StateObject private var modelData: ModelData = ModelData() // right? // But then I couldn't use modelData outside of the view hierarchy var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ZStack { MainView() .environment(modelData) } } .onAppear { modelData.getInitialData() } } } MainView.swift: struct MainView: View { @Environment(ModelData.self) private var modelData: ModelData var body: some View { ... ForEach(modelData.standardItems) { item in ItemRow(item) } ForEach(modelData.archivedItems) { item in ItemRow(item) } } } ItemRow.swift: struct ItemRow: View { @Environment(\.accessibilityDifferentiateWithoutColor) private var accessibilityDifferentiateWithoutColor var item: ItemDetails @State private var showDeleteConfirmation: Bool = false var body: some View { // Construct the row view // `accessibilityDifferentiateWithoutColor` is used within the row to change colours if DWC is enabled, e.g. use different symbols instead of different colours for button images. // Add the .leftSwipeButtons, .rightSwipeButtons, and .contextMenu // Add the .confirmationDialog for when I want to ask for confirmation before deleting an item } } Now, the problems: Swipe an item row, tap one of the buttons, e.g. edit, and the list refreshes and jumps back to the top. In the console I see: ItemRow: @self, @identity, _accessibilityDifferentiateWithoutColor changed. Why did accessibilityDifferentiateWithoutColor change? The setting in Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size has not been changed, so why does the row's view think it changed? With a .confirmationDialog attached to the end of the ItemRow (as seen in the code above), if I swipe and tap the delete button the list refreshes and jumps back to the top again. In the console I see: ItemRow: @self, @identity, _accessibilityDifferentiateWithoutColor, _showDeleteConfirmation changed. Right, it changed for the one row that I tapped the button for. Why does every row get redrawn? I already had to shift from using the colorScheme environment variable to add new asset colours with light and dark variants to cover this, but you can't do that with DWC. Honestly, managing state in SwiftUI is a nightmare. I had zero problems until iOS 26 started removing one or two rows when I scrolled, and the fix for that - using @Statebject/@ObservedObject - has introduced multiple further annoying, mind-bending problems, and necessitated massive daily refactorings. And, of course, plenty of my time islost trying to figure out where a problem is in the code because "The compiler is unable to type-check this expression in reasonable time; try breaking up the expression into distinct sub-expressions"...

SwiftUI macOS simple NavigationStack and NavigationLink -> problem on multiplatform project
I had a problem with my app (or in my setup) and searching the web I found a very simple code where part of my problem occurs. I create a new Multiplatform App and paste this code in ContentView. import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { NavigationStack { VStack { Text("Navigation article") .font(.title) .padding() NavigationLink("Go to the second view", destination: SecondView()) .padding() } .navigationTitle("First View") } } } struct SecondView: View { var body: some View { Text("This is the Second view") .font(.headline) .padding() .navigationTitle("Second View") } } run on iPhone/ iOS no problem run on a Mac/macOS Going from view 1 to view 2 work, the back arrow on view 2 is there, and it is working but the second time I go to the view 2, the back arrow is gone. after looking closely I can see the Arrow Underneath the S of SecondView. I have tried many things and could not make it work. I post this in a HackingWithSwift forum and somebody tried the code and said it work. so it seems the problem could be related to my setup but I create another user in my computer , same problem and tried it on my another computer, same problem.

WidgetKit with Data from CoreData
I have a SwiftUI app. It fetches records through CoreData. And I want to show some records on a widget. I understand that I need to use AppGroup to share data between an app and its associated widget. import Foundation import CoreData import CloudKit class DataManager { static let instance = DataManager() let container: NSPersistentContainer let context: NSManagedObjectContext init() { container = NSPersistentCloudKitContainer(name: "DataMama") container.persistentStoreDescriptions = [NSPersistentStoreDescription(url: FileManager.default.containerURL(forSecurityApplicationGroupIdentifier: group identifier)!.appendingPathComponent("Trash.sqlite"))] container.loadPersistentStores(completionHandler: { (description, error) in if let error = error as NSError? { print("Unresolved error \(error), \(error.userInfo)") } }) context = container.viewContext context.automaticallyMergesChangesFromParent = true context.mergePolicy = NSMergePolicy(merge: .mergeByPropertyObjectTrumpMergePolicyType) } func save() { do { try container.viewContext.save() print("Saved successfully") } catch { print("Error in saving data: \(error.localizedDescription)") } } } // ViewModel // import Foundation import CoreData import WidgetKit class ViewModel: ObservableObject { let manager = DataManager() @Published var records: [Little] = [] init() { fetchRecords() } func fetchRecords() { let request = NSFetchRequest<Little>(entityName: "Little") do { records = try manager.context.fetch(request) records.sort { lhs, rhs in lhs.trashDate! < rhs.trashDate! } } catch { print("Fetch error for DataManager: \(error.localizedDescription)") } WidgetCenter.shared.reloadAllTimelines() } } So I have a view model that fetches data for the app as shown above. Now, my question is how should my widget get data from CoreData? Should the widget get data from CoreData through DataManager? I have read some questions here and also read some articles around the world. This article ( https://dev.classmethod.jp/articles/widget-coredate-introduction/ ) suggests that you let the Widget struct access CoreData through DataManager. If that's a correct fashion, how should the getTimeline function in the TimelineProvider struct get data? This question also suggests the same. Thank you for your reading my question.

Bug: SwiftUI inspector doesn't update presentation detent selection on iPhone
On iPhone .inspector is presented as a sheet so you can use .presentationDetents to determine its detents. However, SwiftUI doesn't update the presentationDetents selection binding in this case. See attached minimum example of the problem - onChange will not run and print when you swipe and change the detent of the inspector sheet. import SwiftUI @main struct TestingApp: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() } } } struct ContentView: View { @State var showInspector = false @State var detent: PresentationDetent = .medium var body: some View { Button("Toggle Inspector") { showInspector.toggle() } .inspector(isPresented: $showInspector) { Text("Inspector Content") .presentationDetents([.medium, .large], selection: $detent) } .onChange(of: detent) { _, detent in print(detent) } } } #Preview { ContentView() }

ScrollView + LazyVStack + dynamic height views cause scroll glitches on iOS 26
I’m seeing unexpected scroll behavior when embedding a LazyVStack with dynamically sized views inside a ScrollView. Everything works fine when the item height is fixed (e.g. colored squares), but when I switch to text views with variable height, the scroll position jumps and glitches—especially when the keyboard appears or disappears. This only happens on iOS 26, it works fine on iOS 18. Working version struct Model: Identifiable { let id = UUID() } struct ModernScrollView: View { @State private var models: [Model] = [] @State private var scrollPositionID: String? @State private var text: String = "" @FocusState private var isFocused // MARK: - View var body: some View { scrollView .safeAreaInset(edge: .bottom) { controls } .task { reset() } } // MARK: - Subviews private var scrollView: some View { ScrollView { LazyVStack { ForEach(models) { model in SquareView(color: Color(from: model.id)) .id(model.id.uuidString) } } .scrollTargetLayout() } .scrollPosition(id: $scrollPositionID) .scrollDismissesKeyboard(.interactively) .defaultScrollAnchor(.bottom) .onTapGesture { isFocused = false } } private var controls: some View { VStack { HStack { Button("Add to top") { models.insert(contentsOf: makeModels(3), at: 0) } Button("Add to bottom") { models.append(contentsOf: makeModels(3)) } Button("Reset") { reset() } } HStack { Button { scrollPositionID = models.first?.id.uuidString } label: { Image(systemName: "arrow.up") } Button { scrollPositionID = models.last?.id.uuidString } label: { Image(systemName: "arrow.down") } } TextField("Input", text: $text) .padding() .background(.ultraThinMaterial, in: .capsule) .focused($isFocused) .padding(.horizontal) } .padding(.vertical) .buttonStyle(.bordered) .background(.regularMaterial) } // MARK: - Private private func makeModels(_ count: Int) -> [Model] { (0..<count).map { _ in Model() } } private func reset() { models = makeModels(3) } } // MARK: - Color+UUID private extension Color { init(from uuid: UUID) { let hash = uuid.uuidString.hashValue let r = Double((hash & 0xFF0000) >> 16) / 255.0 let g = Double((hash & 0x00FF00) >> 8) / 255.0 let b = Double(hash & 0x0000FF) / 255.0 self.init(red: abs(r), green: abs(g), blue: abs(b)) } } Not working version When I replace the square view with a text view that generates random multiline text: struct Model: Identifiable { let id = UUID() let text = generateRandomText(range: 1...5) // MARK: - Utils private static func generateRandomText(range: ClosedRange<Int>) -> String { var result = "" for _ in 0..<Int.random(in: range) { if let sentence = sentences.randomElement() { result += sentence } } return result.trimmingCharacters(in: .whitespaces) } private static let sentences = [ "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.", "Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.", "Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur.", "Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum." ] } and use it like this: ForEach(models) { model in Text(model.text) .padding() .multilineTextAlignment(.leading) .background(Color(from: model.id)) .id(model.id.uuidString) } Then on iOS 26, opening the keyboard makes the scroll position jump unpredictably. It is more visible if you play with the app, but I could not upload a video here. Environment Xcode 26.0.1 - Simulators and devices on iOS 26.0 - 18.0 Questions Is there any known change in ScrollView / scrollPosition(id:) behavior on iOS 26 related to dynamic height content? Am I missing something in the layout setup that makes this layout unstable with variable-height cells? Is there a workaround or recommended approach for keeping scroll position stable when keyboard appears?

Change to safe area logic on iOS 26
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!

iPadOS 26 - Status bar overlaps with navigation bar
Hello, I'm experiencing a navigation bar positioning issue with my UIKit iPad app on iPadOS 26 (23A340) using Xcode 26 (17A321). The navigation bar positions under the status bar initially, and after orientation changes to landscape, it positions incorrectly below its expected location. This occurs on both real device (iPad mini A17 Pro) and simulator. My app uses UIKit + Storyboard with a Root Navigation Controller. A stack overflow post has reproduce the bug event if it's not in the same configuration: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79752945/xcode-26-beta-6-ipados-26-statusbar-overlaps-with-navigationbar-after-presen I have checked all safe areas and tried changing some constraints, but nothing works. Have you encountered this bug before, or do you need additional information to investigate this issue?

ASAuthorizationAccountCreationProvider does not work with 3rd party apps
hello im using the new IOS 26 api for passkey creation ASAuthorizationAccountCreationProvider however it only seems to work with apple's Passwords app. Selecting 3rd party password apps (1Password, google chrome, etc) does not create the passkey. The sign up sheet gives me the option to save in 3rd party apps, but when I select a 3rd party app, I just get the ASAuthorizationError cancelled error? So I dont even know what the problem is? When selecting "Save in Passwords(apple's app)" during the sign up it works fine Has anyone else run into this issue? Is there something I need to do enable 3rd party apps?

I don't want black background in presented sheet
I want a different color, one from my asset catalog, as the background of my first ever swift UI view (and, well, swift, the rest of the app is still obj.c) I've tried putting the color everywhere, but it does't take. I tried with just .red, too to make sure it wasn't me. Does anyone know where I can put a color call that will actually run? Black looks very out of place in my happy app. I spent a lot of time making a custom dark palette. TIA KT @State private var viewModel = ViewModel() @State private var showAddSheet = false var body: some View { ZStack { Color.myCuteBg .ignoresSafeArea(.all) NavigationStack { content .navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.inline) .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .principal) { Image("cute.image") .font(.system(size: 30)) .foregroundColor(.beigeTitle) } } } .background(Color.myCuteBg) .presentationBackground(.myCuteBg) .sheet(isPresented: $showAddSheet) { AddView() } .environment(viewModel) .onAppear { viewModel.fetchStuff() } } .tint(.cuteColor) } @ViewBuilder var content: some View { if viewModel.list.isEmpty && viewModel.anotherlist.isEmpty { ContentUnavailableView( "No Content", image: "stop", description: Text("Add something here by tapping the + button.") ) } else { contentList } } var contentList: some View { blah blah blah } } First I tried the background, then the presentation background, and finally the Zstack. I hope this is fixed because it's actually fun to build scrollable content and text with swiftUI and I'd been avoiding it for years.

Lock widget for pro-users
Hi, I have added widgets to my iOS app and I would like to make this feature only accessible to "pro" users that have made a non-consumable in-app purchase. Currently, I am doing the following: I store an "isUnlocked" property in the Keychain after the purchase is made I read data to be displayed in the widget and here I also query the Keychain and store whether the widget is unlocked I have no refresh policy, but only change the widget data on a significant time change a different view is displayed when the app is locked Some dummy code snippets: func getTimeline(in context: Context, completion: @escaping (Timeline<Entry>) -> Void) { &#9;&#9;let entry = readContents() &#9;&#9;let timeline = Timeline(entries: [entry], policy: .never) &#9;&#9;completion(timeline) } struct WidgetEntryView: View { &#9;&#9;let entry: Provider.Entry     @Environment(\.widgetFamily) var family     @ViewBuilder     var body: some View {         switch family {         case .systemSmall:             if !entry.isUnlocked {                 LockedWidgetView()             } else if let event = entry.event {                 SmallWidgetEventView(event: event)             } else {                 NoDataWidgetView()             } ... func applicationSignificantTimeChange(_ application: UIApplication) { &#9;&#9;if #available(iOS 14.0, *) { &#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;WidgetCenter.shared.reloadAllTimelines() &#9;&#9;} ... However, 2 unexpected things happen: the view is refreshed intraday (not only at midnight i.e. at significant time change) sometimes the LockedWidgetView is displayed. Especially the latter is problematic, because it gives false information to a user that has already made the in-app purchase. How can I achieve my goal of only displaying info when the user has made the in-app purchase? Thanks in advance. P.S. Although it would not have my preference, I would also find it acceptable if the widget is only shown as option to add once the purchase is made. In other words, I was considering changing the Widget itself: struct MyWidget: Widget {     private var supportedFamilies: [WidgetFamily] = isUnlocked() ? [.systemSmall, .systemMedium] : [] but I believe I cannot re-initialise the widget from the app when the user makes the in-app purchase, because the only refresh option that I have is WidgetCenter.shared.reloadAllTimelines()

Zoom navigation transitions for tabViewBottomAccessory are not working in SwiftUI with ObservableObject or Observable
The zoom navigation transition with matchedTransitionSource in tabViewBottomAccessory does not work when a Published var in an ObservableObjector Observable gets changed. Here is an minimal reproducible example with ObservableObject: import SwiftUI import Combine private final class ViewModel: ObservableObject { @Published var isPresented = false } struct ContentView: View { @Namespace private var namespace @StateObject private var viewModel = ViewModel() // @State private var isPresented = false var body: some View { TabView { Button { viewModel.isPresented = true } label: { Text("Start") } .tabItem { Image(systemName: "house") Text("Home") } Text("Search") .tabItem { Image(systemName: "magnifyingglass") Text("Search") } Text("Profile") .tabItem { Image(systemName: "person") Text("Profile") } } .sheet(isPresented: $viewModel.isPresented) { Text("Sheet") .presentationDragIndicator(.visible) .navigationTransition(.zoom(sourceID: "tabViewBottomAccessoryTransition", in: namespace)) } .tabViewBottomAccessory { Button { viewModel.isPresented = true } label: { Text("BottomAccessory") } .matchedTransitionSource(id: "tabViewBottomAccessoryTransition", in: namespace) } } } However, when using only a State property everything works: import SwiftUI import Combine private final class ViewModel: ObservableObject { @Published var isPresented = false } struct ContentView: View { @Namespace private var namespace // @StateObject private var viewModel = ViewModel() @State private var isPresented = false var body: some View { TabView { Button { isPresented = true } label: { Text("Start") } .tabItem { Image(systemName: "house") Text("Home") } Text("Search") .tabItem { Image(systemName: "magnifyingglass") Text("Search") } Text("Profile") .tabItem { Image(systemName: "person") Text("Profile") } } .sheet(isPresented: $isPresented) { Text("Sheet") .presentationDragIndicator(.visible) .navigationTransition(.zoom(sourceID: "tabViewBottomAccessoryTransition", in: namespace)) } .tabViewBottomAccessory { Button { isPresented = true } label: { Text("BottomAccessory") } .matchedTransitionSource(id: "tabViewBottomAccessoryTransition", in: namespace) } } }

Illegible navigation title when presenting Map view
When building with the iOS 26 SDK (currently beta 4), the navigation title is often illegible when rendering a Map view. For example, note how the title "Choose Location" is obscured by the map's text ("South America") in the screenshot below: This screenshot is the result of the following view code: import MapKit import SwiftUI struct Demo: View { var body: some View { NavigationStack { Map() .navigationTitle(Text("Choose Location")) .navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.inline) } } } I tried using the scrollEdgeEffectStyle(_:for:) modifier to apply a scroll edge effect to the top of the screen, in hopes of making the title legible, but that doesn't seem to have any effect. Specifically, the following code seems to produce the exact same result shown in the screenshot above. import MapKit import SwiftUI struct Demo: View { var body: some View { NavigationStack { Map() .scrollEdgeEffectStyle(.hard, for: .top) // ⬅️ no apparent effect .navigationTitle(Text("Choose Location")) .navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.inline) } } } Is there a recommended way to resolve this issue so that the navigation title is always readable?

NWPathMonitor Failing
I need to check the network connection with NWPathMonitor. import Foundation import Network class NetworkViewModel: ObservableObject { let monitor = NWPathMonitor() let queue = DispatchQueue(label: "NetworkViewModel") @Published var isConnected = false var connectionDescription: String { if isConnected { return "You are connected." } else { return "You are NOT connected." } } init() { monitor.pathUpdateHandler = { path in DispatchQueue.main.async { self.isConnected = path.status == .satisfied } } monitor.start(queue: queue) } } import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @StateObject private var networkViewModel = NetworkViewModel() var body: some View { VStack { } .onAppear { if networkViewModel.isConnected { print("You are connected.") } else { print("You are NOT connected.") } } } } So there is nothing special, not at all. Yet, if I test it with a totally new Xcode project for iOS, it fails and return !isConnected. I've tested it with a macOS application. And it fails. I've tested it with an actual device. It fails. I've tested it with an old project. It still does work. I have no mere idea why new Xcode projects all fail to detect the WiFi connection. This is a total nightmare. Does anybody have a clue? thanks.

My app doesn't respond on iPhone Air iOS 26.1.
My app doesn't respond on iPhone Air iOS 26.1. After startup, my app shows the main view with a tab bar controller containing 4 navigation controllers. However, when a second-level view controller is pushed onto any navigation controller, the UI freezes and becomes unresponsive. The iPhone simulator running iOS 26.1 exhibits the same problem. The debug profile shows CPU usage at 100%. However, other devices and simulators do not have this problem.

Show main window of SwiftUI app on macOS Sequoia after auto start
It seems like it is no longer possible to open the main window of an app after the app has been launched by the system if the "Auto Start" functionality has been enabled. I am using SMAppService.mainApp to enable to auto start of my app. It is shown in the macOS system settings and the app is automatically started - but the main window is not visible. How can I change this behaviour so the main window of the app is always visible when started automatically? I have not noticed this behaviour before the release of macOS Sequoia. My app is using Swift 6 and the latest version of macOS and Xcode. Regards

SwiftUI state is maddening
I honestly thought I was getting somewhere with this, but alas, no. Every time I do anything in my List of ItemRows it jumps back to the top. Here's the setup: DataService.swift: final class DataService { static let shared = DataService() private init() {} let coreData: CoreData = CoreData() let modelData: ModelData = ModelData() } ModelData.swift: @Observable class ModelData: ObservableObject { var allItems: [ItemDetails] var standardItems: [ItemDetails] var archivedItems: [ItemDetails] init() { allItems = [] standardItems = [] archivedItems = [] } func getInitialData() { // Get all items, then split them into archived and non-archived sets, because you can't use `.filter` in a view... allItems = dataService.coreData.getAllItems() standardItems.append(contentsOf: allItems.filter { !$0.archived }) archivedItems.append(contentsOf: allItems.filter { $0.archived }) } } MainApp.swift: // Get access to the data; this singleton is a global as non-view-based functions, including the `Scene`, need to access the model data let dataService: DataService = DataService.shared @main struct MainApp: App { // Should this be @ObservedObject or @StateObject? @ObservedObject private var modelData: ModelData = dataService.modelData // I would use @StateObject if the line was... //@StateObject private var modelData: ModelData = ModelData() // right? // But then I couldn't use modelData outside of the view hierarchy var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ZStack { MainView() .environment(modelData) } } .onAppear { modelData.getInitialData() } } } MainView.swift: struct MainView: View { @Environment(ModelData.self) private var modelData: ModelData var body: some View { ... ForEach(modelData.standardItems) { item in ItemRow(item) } ForEach(modelData.archivedItems) { item in ItemRow(item) } } } ItemRow.swift: struct ItemRow: View { @Environment(\.accessibilityDifferentiateWithoutColor) private var accessibilityDifferentiateWithoutColor var item: ItemDetails @State private var showDeleteConfirmation: Bool = false var body: some View { // Construct the row view // `accessibilityDifferentiateWithoutColor` is used within the row to change colours if DWC is enabled, e.g. use different symbols instead of different colours for button images. // Add the .leftSwipeButtons, .rightSwipeButtons, and .contextMenu // Add the .confirmationDialog for when I want to ask for confirmation before deleting an item } } Now, the problems: Swipe an item row, tap one of the buttons, e.g. edit, and the list refreshes and jumps back to the top. In the console I see: ItemRow: @self, @identity, _accessibilityDifferentiateWithoutColor changed. Why did accessibilityDifferentiateWithoutColor change? The setting in Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size has not been changed, so why does the row's view think it changed? With a .confirmationDialog attached to the end of the ItemRow (as seen in the code above), if I swipe and tap the delete button the list refreshes and jumps back to the top again. In the console I see: ItemRow: @self, @identity, _accessibilityDifferentiateWithoutColor, _showDeleteConfirmation changed. Right, it changed for the one row that I tapped the button for. Why does every row get redrawn? I already had to shift from using the colorScheme environment variable to add new asset colours with light and dark variants to cover this, but you can't do that with DWC. Honestly, managing state in SwiftUI is a nightmare. I had zero problems until iOS 26 started removing one or two rows when I scrolled, and the fix for that - using @Statebject/@ObservedObject - has introduced multiple further annoying, mind-bending problems, and necessitated massive daily refactorings. And, of course, plenty of my time islost trying to figure out where a problem is in the code because "The compiler is unable to type-check this expression in reasonable time; try breaking up the expression into distinct sub-expressions"...

SwiftUI macOS simple NavigationStack and NavigationLink -> problem on multiplatform project
I had a problem with my app (or in my setup) and searching the web I found a very simple code where part of my problem occurs. I create a new Multiplatform App and paste this code in ContentView. import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { NavigationStack { VStack { Text("Navigation article") .font(.title) .padding() NavigationLink("Go to the second view", destination: SecondView()) .padding() } .navigationTitle("First View") } } } struct SecondView: View { var body: some View { Text("This is the Second view") .font(.headline) .padding() .navigationTitle("Second View") } } run on iPhone/ iOS no problem run on a Mac/macOS Going from view 1 to view 2 work, the back arrow on view 2 is there, and it is working but the second time I go to the view 2, the back arrow is gone. after looking closely I can see the Arrow Underneath the S of SecondView. I have tried many things and could not make it work. I post this in a HackingWithSwift forum and somebody tried the code and said it work. so it seems the problem could be related to my setup but I create another user in my computer , same problem and tried it on my another computer, same problem.

WidgetKit with Data from CoreData
I have a SwiftUI app. It fetches records through CoreData. And I want to show some records on a widget. I understand that I need to use AppGroup to share data between an app and its associated widget. import Foundation import CoreData import CloudKit class DataManager { static let instance = DataManager() let container: NSPersistentContainer let context: NSManagedObjectContext init() { container = NSPersistentCloudKitContainer(name: "DataMama") container.persistentStoreDescriptions = [NSPersistentStoreDescription(url: FileManager.default.containerURL(forSecurityApplicationGroupIdentifier: group identifier)!.appendingPathComponent("Trash.sqlite"))] container.loadPersistentStores(completionHandler: { (description, error) in if let error = error as NSError? { print("Unresolved error \(error), \(error.userInfo)") } }) context = container.viewContext context.automaticallyMergesChangesFromParent = true context.mergePolicy = NSMergePolicy(merge: .mergeByPropertyObjectTrumpMergePolicyType) } func save() { do { try container.viewContext.save() print("Saved successfully") } catch { print("Error in saving data: \(error.localizedDescription)") } } } // ViewModel // import Foundation import CoreData import WidgetKit class ViewModel: ObservableObject { let manager = DataManager() @Published var records: [Little] = [] init() { fetchRecords() } func fetchRecords() { let request = NSFetchRequest<Little>(entityName: "Little") do { records = try manager.context.fetch(request) records.sort { lhs, rhs in lhs.trashDate! < rhs.trashDate! } } catch { print("Fetch error for DataManager: \(error.localizedDescription)") } WidgetCenter.shared.reloadAllTimelines() } } So I have a view model that fetches data for the app as shown above. Now, my question is how should my widget get data from CoreData? Should the widget get data from CoreData through DataManager? I have read some questions here and also read some articles around the world. This article ( https://dev.classmethod.jp/articles/widget-coredate-introduction/ ) suggests that you let the Widget struct access CoreData through DataManager. If that's a correct fashion, how should the getTimeline function in the TimelineProvider struct get data? This question also suggests the same. Thank you for your reading my question.

Bug: SwiftUI inspector doesn't update presentation detent selection on iPhone
On iPhone .inspector is presented as a sheet so you can use .presentationDetents to determine its detents. However, SwiftUI doesn't update the presentationDetents selection binding in this case. See attached minimum example of the problem - onChange will not run and print when you swipe and change the detent of the inspector sheet. import SwiftUI @main struct TestingApp: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() } } } struct ContentView: View { @State var showInspector = false @State var detent: PresentationDetent = .medium var body: some View { Button("Toggle Inspector") { showInspector.toggle() } .inspector(isPresented: $showInspector) { Text("Inspector Content") .presentationDetents([.medium, .large], selection: $detent) } .onChange(of: detent) { _, detent in print(detent) } } } #Preview { ContentView() }

ScrollView + LazyVStack + dynamic height views cause scroll glitches on iOS 26
I’m seeing unexpected scroll behavior when embedding a LazyVStack with dynamically sized views inside a ScrollView. Everything works fine when the item height is fixed (e.g. colored squares), but when I switch to text views with variable height, the scroll position jumps and glitches—especially when the keyboard appears or disappears. This only happens on iOS 26, it works fine on iOS 18. Working version struct Model: Identifiable { let id = UUID() } struct ModernScrollView: View { @State private var models: [Model] = [] @State private var scrollPositionID: String? @State private var text: String = "" @FocusState private var isFocused // MARK: - View var body: some View { scrollView .safeAreaInset(edge: .bottom) { controls } .task { reset() } } // MARK: - Subviews private var scrollView: some View { ScrollView { LazyVStack { ForEach(models) { model in SquareView(color: Color(from: model.id)) .id(model.id.uuidString) } } .scrollTargetLayout() } .scrollPosition(id: $scrollPositionID) .scrollDismissesKeyboard(.interactively) .defaultScrollAnchor(.bottom) .onTapGesture { isFocused = false } } private var controls: some View { VStack { HStack { Button("Add to top") { models.insert(contentsOf: makeModels(3), at: 0) } Button("Add to bottom") { models.append(contentsOf: makeModels(3)) } Button("Reset") { reset() } } HStack { Button { scrollPositionID = models.first?.id.uuidString } label: { Image(systemName: "arrow.up") } Button { scrollPositionID = models.last?.id.uuidString } label: { Image(systemName: "arrow.down") } } TextField("Input", text: $text) .padding() .background(.ultraThinMaterial, in: .capsule) .focused($isFocused) .padding(.horizontal) } .padding(.vertical) .buttonStyle(.bordered) .background(.regularMaterial) } // MARK: - Private private func makeModels(_ count: Int) -> [Model] { (0..<count).map { _ in Model() } } private func reset() { models = makeModels(3) } } // MARK: - Color+UUID private extension Color { init(from uuid: UUID) { let hash = uuid.uuidString.hashValue let r = Double((hash & 0xFF0000) >> 16) / 255.0 let g = Double((hash & 0x00FF00) >> 8) / 255.0 let b = Double(hash & 0x0000FF) / 255.0 self.init(red: abs(r), green: abs(g), blue: abs(b)) } } Not working version When I replace the square view with a text view that generates random multiline text: struct Model: Identifiable { let id = UUID() let text = generateRandomText(range: 1...5) // MARK: - Utils private static func generateRandomText(range: ClosedRange<Int>) -> String { var result = "" for _ in 0..<Int.random(in: range) { if let sentence = sentences.randomElement() { result += sentence } } return result.trimmingCharacters(in: .whitespaces) } private static let sentences = [ "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.", "Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.", "Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur.", "Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum." ] } and use it like this: ForEach(models) { model in Text(model.text) .padding() .multilineTextAlignment(.leading) .background(Color(from: model.id)) .id(model.id.uuidString) } Then on iOS 26, opening the keyboard makes the scroll position jump unpredictably. It is more visible if you play with the app, but I could not upload a video here. Environment Xcode 26.0.1 - Simulators and devices on iOS 26.0 - 18.0 Questions Is there any known change in ScrollView / scrollPosition(id:) behavior on iOS 26 related to dynamic height content? Am I missing something in the layout setup that makes this layout unstable with variable-height cells? Is there a workaround or recommended approach for keeping scroll position stable when keyboard appears?

Change to safe area logic on iOS 26
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!

Can you get the new "soft" scroll edge effect for custom safe area inset views?
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!

iPadOS 26 - Status bar overlaps with navigation bar
Hello, I'm experiencing a navigation bar positioning issue with my UIKit iPad app on iPadOS 26 (23A340) using Xcode 26 (17A321). The navigation bar positions under the status bar initially, and after orientation changes to landscape, it positions incorrectly below its expected location. This occurs on both real device (iPad mini A17 Pro) and simulator. My app uses UIKit + Storyboard with a Root Navigation Controller. A stack overflow post has reproduce the bug event if it's not in the same configuration: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79752945/xcode-26-beta-6-ipados-26-statusbar-overlaps-with-navigationbar-after-presen I have checked all safe areas and tried changing some constraints, but nothing works. Have you encountered this bug before, or do you need additional information to investigate this issue?

ASAuthorizationAccountCreationProvider does not work with 3rd party apps
hello im using the new IOS 26 api for passkey creation ASAuthorizationAccountCreationProvider however it only seems to work with apple's Passwords app. Selecting 3rd party password apps (1Password, google chrome, etc) does not create the passkey. The sign up sheet gives me the option to save in 3rd party apps, but when I select a 3rd party app, I just get the ASAuthorizationError cancelled error? So I dont even know what the problem is? When selecting "Save in Passwords(apple's app)" during the sign up it works fine Has anyone else run into this issue? Is there something I need to do enable 3rd party apps?

I don't want black background in presented sheet
I want a different color, one from my asset catalog, as the background of my first ever swift UI view (and, well, swift, the rest of the app is still obj.c) I've tried putting the color everywhere, but it does't take. I tried with just .red, too to make sure it wasn't me. Does anyone know where I can put a color call that will actually run? Black looks very out of place in my happy app. I spent a lot of time making a custom dark palette. TIA KT @State private var viewModel = ViewModel() @State private var showAddSheet = false var body: some View { ZStack { Color.myCuteBg .ignoresSafeArea(.all) NavigationStack { content .navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.inline) .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .principal) { Image("cute.image") .font(.system(size: 30)) .foregroundColor(.beigeTitle) } } } .background(Color.myCuteBg) .presentationBackground(.myCuteBg) .sheet(isPresented: $showAddSheet) { AddView() } .environment(viewModel) .onAppear { viewModel.fetchStuff() } } .tint(.cuteColor) } @ViewBuilder var content: some View { if viewModel.list.isEmpty && viewModel.anotherlist.isEmpty { ContentUnavailableView( "No Content", image: "stop", description: Text("Add something here by tapping the + button.") ) } else { contentList } } var contentList: some View { blah blah blah } } First I tried the background, then the presentation background, and finally the Zstack. I hope this is fixed because it's actually fun to build scrollable content and text with swiftUI and I'd been avoiding it for years.

Lock widget for pro-users
Hi, I have added widgets to my iOS app and I would like to make this feature only accessible to "pro" users that have made a non-consumable in-app purchase. Currently, I am doing the following: I store an "isUnlocked" property in the Keychain after the purchase is made I read data to be displayed in the widget and here I also query the Keychain and store whether the widget is unlocked I have no refresh policy, but only change the widget data on a significant time change a different view is displayed when the app is locked Some dummy code snippets: func getTimeline(in context: Context, completion: @escaping (Timeline<Entry>) -> Void) { &#9;&#9;let entry = readContents() &#9;&#9;let timeline = Timeline(entries: [entry], policy: .never) &#9;&#9;completion(timeline) } struct WidgetEntryView: View { &#9;&#9;let entry: Provider.Entry     @Environment(\.widgetFamily) var family     @ViewBuilder     var body: some View {         switch family {         case .systemSmall:             if !entry.isUnlocked {                 LockedWidgetView()             } else if let event = entry.event {                 SmallWidgetEventView(event: event)             } else {                 NoDataWidgetView()             } ... func applicationSignificantTimeChange(_ application: UIApplication) { &#9;&#9;if #available(iOS 14.0, *) { &#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;WidgetCenter.shared.reloadAllTimelines() &#9;&#9;} ... However, 2 unexpected things happen: the view is refreshed intraday (not only at midnight i.e. at significant time change) sometimes the LockedWidgetView is displayed. Especially the latter is problematic, because it gives false information to a user that has already made the in-app purchase. How can I achieve my goal of only displaying info when the user has made the in-app purchase? Thanks in advance. P.S. Although it would not have my preference, I would also find it acceptable if the widget is only shown as option to add once the purchase is made. In other words, I was considering changing the Widget itself: struct MyWidget: Widget {     private var supportedFamilies: [WidgetFamily] = isUnlocked() ? [.systemSmall, .systemMedium] : [] but I believe I cannot re-initialise the widget from the app when the user makes the in-app purchase, because the only refresh option that I have is WidgetCenter.shared.reloadAllTimelines()
