Overview

For intents that return complex markdown, code snippets, or structured layouts, what are the rendering capabilities and resource constraints of custom SwiftUI views returned via Snippet inside the Siri voice overlay? Are interactive controls (like buttons, copy-to-clipboard, or scroll views) supported inside the Siri-overlay SwiftUI container?

I tried Glass in NSApp.dockTile.contentView. Any Glass there isn't shown like it normally is in windows. Does this limitation exist intentionally?

I noticed that in Xcode 27 Beta 1 on macOS 27 Beta 1, changing the selection of the segmented control used to switch between the Sidebar and Inspector tabs is animated. However, the standard segmented controls used by NSTabView/NSTabViewController, as well as a regular NSSegmentedControl, do not appear to have any such animation on macOS 27. I also tried using the animator proxy: segmentedControl.animator().selectedSegment = index but this did not change the behavior. How can I implement the same kind of segmented control selection animation that Xcode uses? Is there a public API for this, or is it achieved through a different mechanism?

I find the inspector, file navigator, issue navigator, etc. all hard to read. Is there a way to increase the size of these texts without changing all of the text on my machine?

The Menu command to create a new project based on a Package.swift file is gone. How am I supposed to do this now?

FB22844728 Xcode 26.5, macOS 26.5, MacStudio M1 64 GB The disaster of S-L-O-W T-Y-P-I-N-G that plagued Xcode several years ago returns. I guess all the ultra-advanced LLM neuroneirowebs still can't advise those at Apple who develop the Xcode app how to provide this uber-exotic, unheard-of functionality: JUST TYPING THE CODE. This disaster doesn't affect all projects, but it does affect the exact one I'm working on, and I need to type a lot of code there. Significant time is already wasted. I performed all the recommended steps like relaunching, restarting, and deleting deprived data with no effect. Hope something can be done about it..

It seems that the behavior of the .copy rule in SPM packages has changed in Xcode 27. This change now results in raw files being copied into the bundle without compilation, resulting in crashes and missing resources since uncompiled resources cannot be used by the OS. More specifically, in Xcode 26, when .copy was applied to resources such as storyboards, asset catalogs, etc. it would cause Xcode to compile those resources into the respective storyboardc or Assets.car before copying. Xcode 27 does not do this and instead copies the raw files. I do understand that there is a difference between .process and .copy, and the documentation does state that the process rule needs to be used for those files. Is this a regression in Xcode 27 or is copy not compiling anything expected behavior? Submitted FB23115950

In the video "Xcode, Agents and You" (direct link), the presenter asks for a walkthrough of the open project and Xcode presents a rich-text overview of the app's architecture, with color-coded diagrams and clickable links to the files it discusses. I can't get that to work when I try it, though. Is this a preview of a feature that isn't yet available in the first beta of Xcode 27? Is this because I'm using a local model or because it only works with a specific kind of model?

Hey, I'm building an app that uses App Intents to modify data stored in SwiftData and synced through CloudKit. My expectation is that these changes should eventually be reflected in my app's widgets across all of the user's devices (iPhone, iPad, and Mac). However, I'm struggling to find a reliable way to ensure widgets reload when the underlying data changes as a result of a CloudKit sync. Reloading widgets on the device that modifies the data works reliably. The challenge is ensuring widgets reload on other devices after the updated data has been synced through CloudKit. In practice, this doesn't appear to happen reliably. I do not expect the user to manually open the app on those devices. I'm fine with the system launching my app in the background if that's part of the intended solution. Is there a recommended approach for keeping widgets in sync with SwiftData and CloudKit across devices? More specifically: Can WidgetKit be notified when SwiftData receives updates from CloudKit? Is there any supported way to trigger widget reloads on remote devices after a CloudKit sync? If not, what is the recommended architecture for ensuring widgets stay reasonably up to date when synchronized data changes? Things I've considered and/or tried: Calling sendChanges(_:) on CKSyncEngine from my App Intent to push changes immediately. However, this depends on an active Internet connection and doesn't address the case where changes are made offline and synchronized to CloudKit at a later time. Sending push notifications to the user's devices after an App Intent runs and using WidgetPushHandler to reload widgets. However, this requires confidence that the changes have already been uploaded to CloudKit. As far as I can tell, that's difficult or impossible to guarantee in the general case because of the issue described above. Calling fetchChanges(_:) on CKSyncEngine from the widget's timeline provider to ensure the widget has the latest data. However, the widget first needs some indication that new changes are available in CloudKit. Additionally, widget timeline reloads appear to have fairly strict execution time limits, which makes performing CloudKit synchronization work in that context seem less than ideal. My goal is for a Shortcut run on one device to update data and have widgets on all of the user's devices reflect those changes without requiring the user to manually open the app on each device. Am I thinking about this problem correctly, or is there a recommended pattern I'm missing? I'd appreciate any guidance on the intended WidgetKit + SwiftData + CloudKit integration story for this scenario. Thanks!

I have the following code for port forwarding in mac os virtualization var ipAddr = in_addr() // 1. Convert String to in_addr inet_pton(AF_INET, guestIP, &ipAddr) let status = vmnet_network_configuration_add_port_forwarding_rule( config, UInt8(IPPROTO_TCP), // TCP protocol sa_family_t(AF_INET), // address family guestPort, // internal port (guest) externalPort, // external port (host) &ipAddr // internal address (guest IP) ) if status == .VMNET_SUCCESS { print("✅ Port Forwarding set: Mac:\(externalPort) -> VM(\(guestIP)):\(guestPort)") } else { print("❌ Port Forwarding failed for \(guestIP): \(status.rawValue)") } It is returning success but when i test it it does not work. Is there anything i am doing wrong? Please help me also in fixing this problem. Note: The app runs in sandbox i tried without sandboxing and it does not work either. Please refer to this link https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/822025?login=true&page=1#884236022 how i am creating the VZVmnetNetworkDeviceAttachment

I’m embedding an NSTextView (TextKit 2) inside a SwiftUI app using NSViewRepresentable. I’m trying to highlight dynamic subranges (changing as the user types) by providing per-range rendering attributes via NSTextLayoutManager’s rendering-attributes mechanism. The issue: the highlight is unreliable. Often, the highlight doesn’t appear at all even though the delegate/data source is returning attributes for the expected range. Sometimes it appears once, but then it stops updating even when the underlying “highlight range” changes. This feels related to SwiftUI - AppKit layout issue when using NSViewRepresentable (as said in https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/nsviewrepresentable). What I’ve tried Updating the state that drives the highlight range and invalidating layout fragments / asking for relayout Ensuring all updates happen on the main thread. Calling setNeedsDisplay(_:) on the NSViewRepresentable’s underlying view. Toggling the SwiftUI view identity (e.g. .id(...)) to force reconstruction (works, but too expensive / loses state). Question In a SwiftUI + NSViewRepresentable setup with TextKit 2, what is the correct way to make NSTextLayoutManager re-query and redraw rendering attributes when my highlight ranges change? Is there a recommended invalidation call for TextKit 2 to trigger re-rendering of rendering attributes? Or is this a known limitation when hosting NSTextView inside SwiftUI, where rendering attributes aren’t reliably invalidated? If this approach is fragile, is there a better pattern for dynamic highlights that avoids mutating the attributed string (to prevent layout/scroll jitter)?

My app displays vertically scrollable text to the user which could be as short as a single screen or as long as a book chapter: imagine something like an e-book reader which uses scrolling rather than page-turning. A long time ago when development first started, I tried using UITextView, but the size of text that could be handled was quite limited (a figure of 32767 points seems to stick in the memory). Accordingly I came up with a custom solution in which a UIScrollView handled scrolling gestures and a custom UIView rendered just the part of the text that was visible at that time. That works, but it becomes cumbersome to add support for features such as selection handles and loupes. 18 years later, is there a more smoothly integrated way of displaying long scrollable text?

Anyone unable to configure their widgets on iOS 27? I can edit a widget’s configuration but that doesn’t have any effect on the widget. I’m seeing this in the simulator and I have some users seeing it on-device. Is this a known issue or are there workarounds?

Hello, In early May, Apple Support asked me to provide identity verification documents for my developer account (payments up to date since 2016). I submitted the requested documents. Since then, I no longer have access to certificates, identifiers, and profiles on my account, which prevents me from submitting or updating my apps. I have contacted support 6 times (same reference number: 102888223471) without receiving any response. My account is in good standing (active payments since 2016), and this situation is completely blocking my development activity. Has anyone experienced the same issue or can help escalate this? Thank you in advance.

Overview I have a view B contains @Query for cars, now this @Query predicate depends on an input which is passed from view A. Current approach I am creating @Query in the init of view B by using _cars. Questions Now how can I compose @Query based on input from view A? Is my approach correct? In my approach Query will be created every time init gets called Or is there a better approach?

Dear Apple Developer Team, I would like to ask a few questions related to RoomPlan, Room API, USDZ export, and possible future spatial scanning workflows: Can the RoomPlan or Room API load an existing USDZ room model and compare it in real time with a new live scan of the same space? Is Apple considering extending RoomPlan beyond indoor rooms, for example to scan outdoor areas, house exteriors, terrain, and simple building volumes with rough dimensions? Will RoomPlan support multi-floor continuous scanning, custom object detection elements, and reliable export of the scanned result to USDZ for further CAD/BIM workflows? Is it possible to create a real-time comparator between a reference object in USDZ or STEP format and a physical object being scanned live, so that deviations in geometry or dimensions can be detected during scanning? Best regards, Ivo Saina

I'm implementing PHBackgroundResourceUploadExtension to back up photos and videos to our cloud storage service. During testing, I observed that iCloud-optimized photos (where the full-resolution original is stored in iCloud, not on device) do not upload. The upload job appears to silently skip these assets. Questions: Is this behavior intentional/documented? I couldn't find explicit mention of this limitation. If the device only has the optimized/thumbnail version locally, does the system: - Automatically download the full-resolution asset from iCloud before uploading? - Skip the asset entirely? - Return an error via PHAssetResourceUploadJobChangeRequest? For a complete backup solution, should we: - Pre-fetch full-resolution assets using PHAssetResourceManager.requestData(for:options:) before creating upload jobs? - Use a hybrid approach (this extension for local assets + separate logic for iCloud-only assets)? Environment: iOS 26, Xcode 18

Hi, I saw the mac os 27 new features video https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2026/224/?time=64 and was trying Provisioning and i get this warning [Internal] Thread running at User-interactive quality-of-service class waiting on a lower QoS thread running at Default quality-of-service class. Investigate ways to avoid priority inversions at the line try startupOptions.setGuestProvisioning(opts) i have my vm q declared like this let vmQueue = DispatchQueue(label: "VZVirtualMachineQueue", qos: .userInteractive) and i am executing like this self.vmQueue.async { [weak self] in ......... ......... let startupOptions = VZMacOSVirtualMachineStartOptions() try? startupOptions.setGuestProvisioning(opts) vm.start(startupOptions) } and it fails with treading warning and provisioning does not happen. Thanks in advance for the help
