OS27 LazyVGrid hops like crazy on scroll up.
I’m not sure if this is a ”care later in the summer” situation, but on beta 1, with an .adaptive Grid Item, a scrolling LazyVGrid will hop and “bounce” when scrolling back up from the bottom of the grid. I can see the scrollbar visibly hopping as item views are re-created. Anyone else seeing this?

NavigationSplitView no longer pops back to the root view when selection = nil in iOS 26.4 (with a nested TabView)
In iOS 26.4 (iPhone, not iPad), when a NavigationSplitView is combined with a nested TabView, it no longer pops back to the root sidebar view when the List selection is set to nil. This has been working fine for at least a few years, but has just stopped working in iOS 26.4. Here's a minimal working example: import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @State var articles: [Article] = [Article(articleTitle: "Dog"), Article(articleTitle: "Cat"), Article(articleTitle: "Mouse")] @State private var selectedArticle: Article? = nil var body: some View { NavigationSplitView { TabView { Tab { List(articles, selection: $selectedArticle) { article in Button { selectedArticle = article } label: { Text(article.title) } } } label: { Label("Explore", systemImage: "binoculars") } } } detail: { Group { if let selectedArticle { Text(selectedArticle.title) } else { Text("No selected article") } } .navigationBarBackButtonHidden(true) .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarTrailing) { Button("Close", systemImage: "xmark") { selectedArticle = nil } } } } } } struct Article: Identifiable, Hashable { let id: String let title: String init(articleTitle: String) { self.id = articleTitle self.title = articleTitle } } First, I'm aware that nesting a TabView inside a NavigationSplitView is frowned upon: Apple seems to prefer NavigationSplitView nested inside a Tab. However, for my app, that leads to a very confusing user experience. Users quickly get lost because they end up with different articles open in different tabs and it doesn't align well with my core distinction between two "modes": article selection mode and article reading mode. When the user is in article selection mode (sidebar view), they can pick between different ways of selecting an article (Explore, Bookmarks, History, Search), which are implemented as "tabs". When they pick an article from any tab they jump into article reading mode (the detail view). Second, I'm using .navigationBarBackButtonHidden(true) to remove the auto back button that pops back to the sidebar view. This button does still work in iOS 26.4, even with the nested TabView. However, I can't use the auto back button because my detail view is actually a WebView with its own back/forward logic and UI. Therefore, I need a separate close button to exit from the detail view. My close button sets selectedArticle to nil, which (pre-iOS 26.4) would trigger the NavigationSplitView to pop back to the sidebar view. For some reason, in iOS 26.4 the NavigationSplitView doesn't seem to bind correctly to the List's selection parameter, specifically when there's a TabView nested between them. Or, rather, it binds, but fails to pop back when selection becomes nil. One option is to replace NavigationSplitView with NavigationStack (on iPhone). NavigationStack still works with a nested TabView, but it creates other downstream issues for me (as well as forcing me to branch for iPhone and iPad), so I'd prefer to continue using NavigationSplitView. Does anyone have any ideas about how to work around this problem? Is there some way of explicitly telling NavigationSplitView to pop back to the sidebar view on iPhone? (I've tried setting the column visibility but nothing seems to work). Thanks for any help!

How do I get SwiftUI to let me determine a custom frame size for NSTextField
I have a NSViewRepresentable that wraps an NSTextField subclass which is displayed as larger than your typical text field. SwiftUI doesn't seem to allow me to set the size of the view when the underlying is an NSTextField. It forces it as a single line field. I've tried both setting the frame on creation as well as using SwiftUI .frame(width:height:) on the represented view. I always end up with a single line field. struct BigTextField: NSViewRepresentable { @Binding var text: String class Coordinator: NSObject, NSTextFieldDelegate { var parent: BigTextField init(_ parent: BigTextField) { self.parent = parent } func controlTextDidChange(_ obj: Notification) { if let textField = obj.object as? NSTextField { parent.text = textField.stringValue } } } func makeCoordinator() -> Coordinator { Coordinator(self) } func makeNSView(context: Context) -> NSTextField { //let frame = NSRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 350, height: 140) //let textField = NSTextField(frame: frame) let textField = NSTextField() textField.isEditable = true textField.isBordered = true textField.isBezeled = true textField.delegate = context.coordinator // Assign the coordinator return textField } func updateNSView(_ nsView: NSTextField, context: Context) { if nsView.stringValue != text { nsView.stringValue = text } } } I've also included the SwiftUI declaration which demonstrates the problem. struct ContentView: View { @State var text : String = "Test string" var body: some View { VStack { BigTextField(text: $text) .frame(width: 350, height: 140) } .padding() } } NSTextField can be any arbitrary frame size. I already do this from AppKit but am trying to adapt this custom field to work within SwiftUI. SwiftUI seems to override the sizing of this NSViewRepresentable that I give it. Am I missing something here? Is there some way to override SwiftUI's sizing behavior? Thank you.

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

How to create @Query based on input
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?

Handling View Creation for Heterogeneous Data
In my project (an Package), I have created an Manager (can be classified as an ViewModel) that will handle state updates throughout the Package Component view: Note: The code is simplified for better understanding and to focus on principles behind things I did. The manager does complex things during state updates. public class ComponentManager: ObservedObject { @Published var rows: [any RowProtocol] = [] func updateState(_ newState: any RowProtocolData, id: String) { guard let index = rows.firstIndex(where: { $0.id == id }) else { return } rows[index].updateState(newState) } func getState(id: String) -> any RowProtocolData? { guard let index = rows.firstIndex(where: { $0.id == id }) else { return nil } return rows[index].state } } The RowProtocol is defined as follows: public protocol RowStateProtocol {} public protocol RowProtocol: Identifiable { associatedtype State: RowStateProtocol associatedtype RowView: View var id: String { get } var state: State { get } func updateState(_ newState: State) @MainActor @ViewBuilder func renderRow() -> RowView } extension RowProtocol { func updateState(_ newState: any RowProtocolData) { guard let newState = newState as? State else { return } self.updateState(newState) } } Then in Component View, I need to render the rows based on the underlying type of the row, this where the renderRow() comes in: struct ComponentView: View { @ObservedObject var manager: ComponentManager var body: some View { List { ForEach(manager.rows, id: \.id) { row in HStack { // This HStack prevent List from initing all rows due to AnyView. AnyView(row.renderRow()) } } } } } The row views will be accepting binding to the state of the row and update their state, let says we have a TextRow and a ToggleRow: struct TextRow: RowProtocol { var id: String var state: TextRowState func updateState(_ newState: TextRowState) { self.state = newState } } struct ToggleRow: RowProtocol { var id: String var state: ToggleRowState func updateState(_ newState: ToggleRowState) { self.state = newState } } In this, offcourse we cannot create an binding directly to the state of the row, since the state are through the manager and the row data won't have access to the manager. So I created an property wrapped that use the closures passed by the manager into environment to create the binding and an view that will give the binding to the content view: extenstion EnvironmentValues { @Entry internal var getState: (String) -> any RowStateProtocol? @Entry internal var updateState: (any RowStateProtocol, String) -> Void } @propertyWrapper struct RowStateBinding<State: RowStateProtocol & Equatable>: DynamicProperty { @Environment(\.getState) private var getState @Environment(\.updateState) private var updateState private let id: String init(id: String) { self.id = id } var wrappedValue: State { get { getState(id) as! State } nonmutating set { if wrappedValue != newValue { // only update for an new change, since set can be triggered for any number of reasons. updateState(newValue, id) } } } var projectedValue: Binding<State> { Binding( get: { self.wrappedValue }, set: { newValue in self.wrappedValue = newValue } ) } } struct RowStateBindingView<Content: View, State: RowStateProtocol & Equatable>: View { @RowStateBinding<State> private var state: State private let content: (Binding<State>) -> Content init(id: String, @ViewBuilder content: @escaping (Binding<State>) -> Content) { self._state = RowStateBinding(id: id) self.content = content } var body: some View { content($state) } } and in the renderRows: struct TextRowView: View { @Binding var text: TextRowState var body: some View { TextField("Enter text", text: $text.text) } } extension TextRow { func renderRow() -> some View { RowStateBindingView(id: id) { state in TextField("Enter text", text: state.text) } } } struct ToggleRowView: View { @Binding var state: ToggleRowState var body: some View { Toggle("Toggle", isOn: $state.isOn) } } extension ToggleRow { func renderRow() -> some View { RowStateBindingView(id: id) { state in Toggle("Toggle", isOn: state.isOn) } } } This way, I can adopt any view as an row view and most importantly, the view can be completely independent of the manager and used as an standalone view. Also clients of the library can create their own custom rows by just conforming to the RowProtocol and creating the view for it, without worrying about how the state management works. The manager will handle all the state updates. I prefer using stucts over classes for rows and states, since its easier to manage state updates. What do you think about this approach? Do you see any potential issues with this? Is there a better way to achieve this?

UIView wrapper around a View
I couldn't decide whether to post this question here or in SwiftUI Q&A as there's a lot of overlaps. We're trying to create something similar to UIViewRepresentable for UIKit. This might not work for complicated cases where the View has many pieces but as long as it works for simple cases, we're happy. The only problem right now is figuring out the correct height. Currently, the height anchor is assigned to CGFloat.greatestFiniteMagnitude, which works but when inspecting the layout in View Hierarchy, it appears the wrapped view is getting stretched all the way down. Also, sometimes View Hierarchy isn't able to draw the wrapped View and I'm unsure if it's a problem of View Hierarchy or our implementation. final public class SwiftUIConfigurationContainerView<T: View>: UIView { private var contentView: UIView? public override var intrinsicContentSize: CGSize { contentView?.intrinsicContentSize ?? super.intrinsicContentSize } private var preferredContentSize: CGSize? public init(@ViewBuilder _ content: @escaping () -> T) { super.init(frame: .zero) setUpContentView(content) } @available(*, unavailable) required init?(coder: NSCoder) { return nil } private func setUpContentView(_ content: @escaping () -> T) { let contentView = UIHostingConfiguration { [weak self] in VStack(spacing: .zero) { content() .onGeometryChange(for: CGSize.self, of: \.size) { size in self?.preferredContentSize = size self?.invalidateIntrinsicContentSize() } .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, alignment: .center) Spacer(minLength: .zero) } } .minSize(width: .zero, height: .zero) .margins(.all, .zero) .makeContentView() self.contentView = contentView addSubview(contentView) contentView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false NSLayoutConstraint.activate([ contentView.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: leadingAnchor), contentView.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: trailingAnchor), contentView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: topAnchor), contentView.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: CGFloat.greatestFiniteMagnitude), ]) } }

SwiftUI ​Charts: In iOS 27, annotation overlays exceed the bounds of an annotation
I'm seeing a regression in SwiftUI Charts on iOS 27 beta 1. Any view placed inside a BarMark's overlay annotation no longer receives the size of the parent BarMark. It collapses to zero, so any content sized from geo.size (e.g. a Rectangle meant to fill the bar) renders empty or incorrectly. Expected: The GeometryReader reports the BarMark's rendered width/height, and the Rectangle fills the BarMark (this is the behavior in iOS 26 and earlier). Actual: On iOS 27 beta 1, geo.size is effectively zero, so the overlay content has an extremely small size. I suspect this could be a small bug with the new ContentBuilder / ViewBuilder changes but that's just a hunch. Here's a code sample which reproduces the issue. // MARK: - Mock Data Models struct ScheduleSeries: Identifiable { let id = UUID() let data: [ScheduleItem] } struct ScheduleItem: Identifiable { let id = UUID() let startDate: Date let startHour: Double let endHour: Double let secondaryText: String? } // MARK: - Minimal Reproducible Example struct ContentView: View { // Generate two consecutive days for the mock data let mockSchedule: [ScheduleSeries] = [ ScheduleSeries(data: [ ScheduleItem( startDate: Date(), startHour: 9.0, endHour: 11.5, secondaryText: "Morning Event" ), ScheduleItem( startDate: Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .day, value: 1, to: Date())!, startHour: 13.0, endHour: 16.0, secondaryText: "Afternoon Event" ) ]) ] var body: some View { VStack(alignment: .leading) { Text("FB: Annotation Sizing Bug") .font(.headline) .padding(.bottom, 8) Text("Expected: The gray Rectangle should stretch to fill the BarMark.\nActual: GeometryReader/Annotation fails to size to the parent BarMark.") .font(.caption) .foregroundColor(.secondary) .padding(.bottom) Chart(mockSchedule) { series in ForEach(series.data, id: \.startDate) { element in BarMark( x: .value("Day", element.startDate, unit: .day, calendar: .current), yStart: .value("Start", element.startHour), yEnd: .value("End", element.endHour), width: .ratio(0.99) ) .annotation(position: .overlay, alignment: .topLeading) { item in ZStack { VStack(alignment: .leading, spacing: 0) { // BUG DEMONSTRATION: // This GeometryReader and Rectangle previously filled the BarMark, but in Xcode 27 it does not GeometryReader { geo in Rectangle() .fill(Color.black.opacity(0.15)) .frame(width: geo.size.width, height: geo.size.height) } } .foregroundColor(.white) .font(.caption2) } } } } .chartYScale(domain: 0...24) // Lock the Y-axis to a 24-hour scale } .padding() } } Environment: Xcode 27 beta 1 / iOS 27 beta 1 Reproduces on device and Simulator Worked as expected on iOS 26 and earlier Here's what the issue looks like in our app with zero code changes: iOS 26 iOS 27 I've filed a feedback report (FB23016343) with a sample project attached. Has anyone else hit this, or found a workaround for sizing overlay annotation content to a BarMark in iOS 27? Thanks!

How to detect backspace in SwiftUI TextField without falling back to UIViewRepresentable?
I'm building a multi-box PIN/OTP input in SwiftUI. In UIKit, I used UITextFieldDelegate to detect backspace presses on an empty field to move focus backward. SwiftUI’s .onChange(of: text) only triggers when text is actually deleted, completely missing backspaces on an already empty field. Is there a pure SwiftUI way to handle this now, or are we still forced to wrap UITextField via UIViewRepresentable?

iOS 27 beta 1: .scrollEdgeEffectStyle(.soft) renders fully transparent above safeAreaBar
Feedback ID: FB23086400 On iOS 27 beta 1, .scrollEdgeEffectStyle(.soft, for: .top) on a List underneath a custom .safeAreaBar(edge: .top) no longer renders the progressive fade-blur. The top edge is fully transparent — scrolled rows pass under the bar with no visual treatment at all, as if scrollEdgeEffectDisabled() had been applied. What I've verified so far: .hard renders correctly in the exact same hierarchy; only .soft is affected. The same binary works correctly on iOS 26.x Xcode preview. I'm building with Xcode 26.3 (iOS 26 SDK). Minimal reproduction: import SwiftUI struct EdgeEffectRepro: View { enum Style: String, CaseIterable, Identifiable { case automatic, soft, hard var id: Self { self } var value: ScrollEdgeEffectStyle { switch self { case .automatic: .automatic case .soft: .soft case .hard: .hard } } } @State private var style: Style = .soft @State private var useSystemBarOnly = false var body: some View { NavigationStack { List(0..<60, id: \.self) { i in Text("Row \(i)") .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, alignment: .leading) .listRowBackground( i.isMultiple(of: 2) ? Color.orange.opacity(0.45) : Color.teal.opacity(0.45) ) } .scrollIndicators(.hidden) .scrollEdgeEffectStyle(style.value, for: .top) .safeAreaBar(edge: .top) { if !useSystemBarOnly { VStack(spacing: 8) { HStack { Text("Custom Top Bar") .font(.system(size: 28, weight: .bold)) Spacer() } HStack { Text("Second row (e.g. date range picker)") .font(.caption) .foregroundStyle(.secondary) Spacer() } } .padding(.horizontal) } } .safeAreaInset(edge: .bottom) { VStack(spacing: 8) { Picker("Edge effect style", selection: $style) { ForEach(Style.allCases) { Text($0.rawValue).tag($0) } } .pickerStyle(.segmented) Toggle("System bar only (control group)", isOn: $useSystemBarOnly) .font(.caption) } .padding() .background(.regularMaterial) } .navigationTitle("EdgeEffect Repro") .navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.inline) } } } Steps: run on iOS 27 beta 1, set the picker to soft, scroll rows under the bar. Expected: fade-blur as on iOS 26. Actual: fully transparent. Switch to hard: renders fine.

Pass data to an @Observable model
Overview I have a navigation split view. The detail view contains a model now this model depends on id from the parent view. Questions How can I pass data from the parent view and yet create the view in the detail view? Or should I be pass the model from the parent view, but the problem is the parent view needs to persist model. Or is there a better approach?

@State changes in Xcode 27 are causing variable definitions spanning multiple lines to produce unexpected compiler errors.
On Xcode 27, the compiler incorrectly errors when a @State variable definition is placed on multiple lines. The code compiles without any issues on Xcode 26 and is valid Swift. The issue is fixed if the var definition is placed on a single line. The following code produces issues: @State internal var bodyText = "Hi" However, the code below works: @State internal var bodyText = "Hi" The issue is reproducible in any new project with a simple view: import SwiftUI import Playgrounds @main struct MyApp: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() } } } struct ContentView: View { @State internal var bodyText = "Hi" var body: some View { Text(bodyText) .padding() } } #Preview { ContentView() } The expected behavior is for valid Swift code to not trigger compiler error.

Reorderable with Xcode previews
I was playing around with the brand-new reorderable API and couldn't get it to work within previews. Is there a specific way to get previews to work with reorderable, or do I need to compile every time? I was also curious if there will be an addition to the Array generic struct, as it seems like the solution there currently is is just an extension, although the way it's being promoted makes it seem like it is built into the type.

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

How to create @Query based on input
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?

Handling View Creation for Heterogeneous Data
In my project (an Package), I have created an Manager (can be classified as an ViewModel) that will handle state updates throughout the Package Component view: Note: The code is simplified for better understanding and to focus on principles behind things I did. The manager does complex things during state updates. public class ComponentManager: ObservedObject { @Published var rows: [any RowProtocol] = [] func updateState(_ newState: any RowProtocolData, id: String) { guard let index = rows.firstIndex(where: { $0.id == id }) else { return } rows[index].updateState(newState) } func getState(id: String) -> any RowProtocolData? { guard let index = rows.firstIndex(where: { $0.id == id }) else { return nil } return rows[index].state } } The RowProtocol is defined as follows: public protocol RowStateProtocol {} public protocol RowProtocol: Identifiable { associatedtype State: RowStateProtocol associatedtype RowView: View var id: String { get } var state: State { get } func updateState(_ newState: State) @MainActor @ViewBuilder func renderRow() -> RowView } extension RowProtocol { func updateState(_ newState: any RowProtocolData) { guard let newState = newState as? State else { return } self.updateState(newState) } } Then in Component View, I need to render the rows based on the underlying type of the row, this where the renderRow() comes in: struct ComponentView: View { @ObservedObject var manager: ComponentManager var body: some View { List { ForEach(manager.rows, id: \.id) { row in HStack { // This HStack prevent List from initing all rows due to AnyView. AnyView(row.renderRow()) } } } } } The row views will be accepting binding to the state of the row and update their state, let says we have a TextRow and a ToggleRow: struct TextRow: RowProtocol { var id: String var state: TextRowState func updateState(_ newState: TextRowState) { self.state = newState } } struct ToggleRow: RowProtocol { var id: String var state: ToggleRowState func updateState(_ newState: ToggleRowState) { self.state = newState } } In this, offcourse we cannot create an binding directly to the state of the row, since the state are through the manager and the row data won't have access to the manager. So I created an property wrapped that use the closures passed by the manager into environment to create the binding and an view that will give the binding to the content view: extenstion EnvironmentValues { @Entry internal var getState: (String) -> any RowStateProtocol? @Entry internal var updateState: (any RowStateProtocol, String) -> Void } @propertyWrapper struct RowStateBinding<State: RowStateProtocol & Equatable>: DynamicProperty { @Environment(\.getState) private var getState @Environment(\.updateState) private var updateState private let id: String init(id: String) { self.id = id } var wrappedValue: State { get { getState(id) as! State } nonmutating set { if wrappedValue != newValue { // only update for an new change, since set can be triggered for any number of reasons. updateState(newValue, id) } } } var projectedValue: Binding<State> { Binding( get: { self.wrappedValue }, set: { newValue in self.wrappedValue = newValue } ) } } struct RowStateBindingView<Content: View, State: RowStateProtocol & Equatable>: View { @RowStateBinding<State> private var state: State private let content: (Binding<State>) -> Content init(id: String, @ViewBuilder content: @escaping (Binding<State>) -> Content) { self._state = RowStateBinding(id: id) self.content = content } var body: some View { content($state) } } and in the renderRows: struct TextRowView: View { @Binding var text: TextRowState var body: some View { TextField("Enter text", text: $text.text) } } extension TextRow { func renderRow() -> some View { RowStateBindingView(id: id) { state in TextField("Enter text", text: state.text) } } } struct ToggleRowView: View { @Binding var state: ToggleRowState var body: some View { Toggle("Toggle", isOn: $state.isOn) } } extension ToggleRow { func renderRow() -> some View { RowStateBindingView(id: id) { state in Toggle("Toggle", isOn: state.isOn) } } } This way, I can adopt any view as an row view and most importantly, the view can be completely independent of the manager and used as an standalone view. Also clients of the library can create their own custom rows by just conforming to the RowProtocol and creating the view for it, without worrying about how the state management works. The manager will handle all the state updates. I prefer using stucts over classes for rows and states, since its easier to manage state updates. What do you think about this approach? Do you see any potential issues with this? Is there a better way to achieve this?

UIView wrapper around a View
I couldn't decide whether to post this question here or in SwiftUI Q&A as there's a lot of overlaps. We're trying to create something similar to UIViewRepresentable for UIKit. This might not work for complicated cases where the View has many pieces but as long as it works for simple cases, we're happy. The only problem right now is figuring out the correct height. Currently, the height anchor is assigned to CGFloat.greatestFiniteMagnitude, which works but when inspecting the layout in View Hierarchy, it appears the wrapped view is getting stretched all the way down. Also, sometimes View Hierarchy isn't able to draw the wrapped View and I'm unsure if it's a problem of View Hierarchy or our implementation. final public class SwiftUIConfigurationContainerView<T: View>: UIView { private var contentView: UIView? public override var intrinsicContentSize: CGSize { contentView?.intrinsicContentSize ?? super.intrinsicContentSize } private var preferredContentSize: CGSize? public init(@ViewBuilder _ content: @escaping () -> T) { super.init(frame: .zero) setUpContentView(content) } @available(*, unavailable) required init?(coder: NSCoder) { return nil } private func setUpContentView(_ content: @escaping () -> T) { let contentView = UIHostingConfiguration { [weak self] in VStack(spacing: .zero) { content() .onGeometryChange(for: CGSize.self, of: \.size) { size in self?.preferredContentSize = size self?.invalidateIntrinsicContentSize() } .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, alignment: .center) Spacer(minLength: .zero) } } .minSize(width: .zero, height: .zero) .margins(.all, .zero) .makeContentView() self.contentView = contentView addSubview(contentView) contentView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false NSLayoutConstraint.activate([ contentView.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: leadingAnchor), contentView.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: trailingAnchor), contentView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: topAnchor), contentView.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: CGFloat.greatestFiniteMagnitude), ]) } }

SwiftUI ​Charts: In iOS 27, annotation overlays exceed the bounds of an annotation
I'm seeing a regression in SwiftUI Charts on iOS 27 beta 1. Any view placed inside a BarMark's overlay annotation no longer receives the size of the parent BarMark. It collapses to zero, so any content sized from geo.size (e.g. a Rectangle meant to fill the bar) renders empty or incorrectly. Expected: The GeometryReader reports the BarMark's rendered width/height, and the Rectangle fills the BarMark (this is the behavior in iOS 26 and earlier). Actual: On iOS 27 beta 1, geo.size is effectively zero, so the overlay content has an extremely small size. I suspect this could be a small bug with the new ContentBuilder / ViewBuilder changes but that's just a hunch. Here's a code sample which reproduces the issue. // MARK: - Mock Data Models struct ScheduleSeries: Identifiable { let id = UUID() let data: [ScheduleItem] } struct ScheduleItem: Identifiable { let id = UUID() let startDate: Date let startHour: Double let endHour: Double let secondaryText: String? } // MARK: - Minimal Reproducible Example struct ContentView: View { // Generate two consecutive days for the mock data let mockSchedule: [ScheduleSeries] = [ ScheduleSeries(data: [ ScheduleItem( startDate: Date(), startHour: 9.0, endHour: 11.5, secondaryText: "Morning Event" ), ScheduleItem( startDate: Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .day, value: 1, to: Date())!, startHour: 13.0, endHour: 16.0, secondaryText: "Afternoon Event" ) ]) ] var body: some View { VStack(alignment: .leading) { Text("FB: Annotation Sizing Bug") .font(.headline) .padding(.bottom, 8) Text("Expected: The gray Rectangle should stretch to fill the BarMark.\nActual: GeometryReader/Annotation fails to size to the parent BarMark.") .font(.caption) .foregroundColor(.secondary) .padding(.bottom) Chart(mockSchedule) { series in ForEach(series.data, id: \.startDate) { element in BarMark( x: .value("Day", element.startDate, unit: .day, calendar: .current), yStart: .value("Start", element.startHour), yEnd: .value("End", element.endHour), width: .ratio(0.99) ) .annotation(position: .overlay, alignment: .topLeading) { item in ZStack { VStack(alignment: .leading, spacing: 0) { // BUG DEMONSTRATION: // This GeometryReader and Rectangle previously filled the BarMark, but in Xcode 27 it does not GeometryReader { geo in Rectangle() .fill(Color.black.opacity(0.15)) .frame(width: geo.size.width, height: geo.size.height) } } .foregroundColor(.white) .font(.caption2) } } } } .chartYScale(domain: 0...24) // Lock the Y-axis to a 24-hour scale } .padding() } } Environment: Xcode 27 beta 1 / iOS 27 beta 1 Reproduces on device and Simulator Worked as expected on iOS 26 and earlier Here's what the issue looks like in our app with zero code changes: iOS 26 iOS 27 I've filed a feedback report (FB23016343) with a sample project attached. Has anyone else hit this, or found a workaround for sizing overlay annotation content to a BarMark in iOS 27? Thanks!

How to detect backspace in SwiftUI TextField without falling back to UIViewRepresentable?
I'm building a multi-box PIN/OTP input in SwiftUI. In UIKit, I used UITextFieldDelegate to detect backspace presses on an empty field to move focus backward. SwiftUI’s .onChange(of: text) only triggers when text is actually deleted, completely missing backspaces on an already empty field. Is there a pure SwiftUI way to handle this now, or are we still forced to wrap UITextField via UIViewRepresentable?

iOS 27 beta 1: .scrollEdgeEffectStyle(.soft) renders fully transparent above safeAreaBar
Feedback ID: FB23086400 On iOS 27 beta 1, .scrollEdgeEffectStyle(.soft, for: .top) on a List underneath a custom .safeAreaBar(edge: .top) no longer renders the progressive fade-blur. The top edge is fully transparent — scrolled rows pass under the bar with no visual treatment at all, as if scrollEdgeEffectDisabled() had been applied. What I've verified so far: .hard renders correctly in the exact same hierarchy; only .soft is affected. The same binary works correctly on iOS 26.x Xcode preview. I'm building with Xcode 26.3 (iOS 26 SDK). Minimal reproduction: import SwiftUI struct EdgeEffectRepro: View { enum Style: String, CaseIterable, Identifiable { case automatic, soft, hard var id: Self { self } var value: ScrollEdgeEffectStyle { switch self { case .automatic: .automatic case .soft: .soft case .hard: .hard } } } @State private var style: Style = .soft @State private var useSystemBarOnly = false var body: some View { NavigationStack { List(0..<60, id: \.self) { i in Text("Row \(i)") .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, alignment: .leading) .listRowBackground( i.isMultiple(of: 2) ? Color.orange.opacity(0.45) : Color.teal.opacity(0.45) ) } .scrollIndicators(.hidden) .scrollEdgeEffectStyle(style.value, for: .top) .safeAreaBar(edge: .top) { if !useSystemBarOnly { VStack(spacing: 8) { HStack { Text("Custom Top Bar") .font(.system(size: 28, weight: .bold)) Spacer() } HStack { Text("Second row (e.g. date range picker)") .font(.caption) .foregroundStyle(.secondary) Spacer() } } .padding(.horizontal) } } .safeAreaInset(edge: .bottom) { VStack(spacing: 8) { Picker("Edge effect style", selection: $style) { ForEach(Style.allCases) { Text($0.rawValue).tag($0) } } .pickerStyle(.segmented) Toggle("System bar only (control group)", isOn: $useSystemBarOnly) .font(.caption) } .padding() .background(.regularMaterial) } .navigationTitle("EdgeEffect Repro") .navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.inline) } } } Steps: run on iOS 27 beta 1, set the picker to soft, scroll rows under the bar. Expected: fade-blur as on iOS 26. Actual: fully transparent. Switch to hard: renders fine.

Pass data to an @Observable model
Overview I have a navigation split view. The detail view contains a model now this model depends on id from the parent view. Questions How can I pass data from the parent view and yet create the view in the detail view? Or should I be pass the model from the parent view, but the problem is the parent view needs to persist model. Or is there a better approach?

@State changes in Xcode 27 are causing variable definitions spanning multiple lines to produce unexpected compiler errors.
On Xcode 27, the compiler incorrectly errors when a @State variable definition is placed on multiple lines. The code compiles without any issues on Xcode 26 and is valid Swift. The issue is fixed if the var definition is placed on a single line. The following code produces issues: @State internal var bodyText = "Hi" However, the code below works: @State internal var bodyText = "Hi" The issue is reproducible in any new project with a simple view: import SwiftUI import Playgrounds @main struct MyApp: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() } } } struct ContentView: View { @State internal var bodyText = "Hi" var body: some View { Text(bodyText) .padding() } } #Preview { ContentView() } The expected behavior is for valid Swift code to not trigger compiler error.

Reorderable with Xcode previews
I was playing around with the brand-new reorderable API and couldn't get it to work within previews. Is there a specific way to get previews to work with reorderable, or do I need to compile every time? I was also curious if there will be an addition to the Array generic struct, as it seems like the solution there currently is is just an extension, although the way it's being promoted makes it seem like it is built into the type.
