In iOS 18, using .highPriorityGesture does not interfere with Button tap detection. However, on iOS 17 and earlier, setting a .highPriorityGesture causes the Button's tap action to stop responding. I am using .highPriorityGesture in an attempt to support both tap and long-press gestures on a Button, which works as expected in iOS 18. However, the same implementation prevents taps on earlier versions. Is using .highPriorityGesture on a Button not recommended in this case? Or is this an issue specific to how .highPriorityGesture behaves on iOS 17 and earlier? Below is a sample code: struct SampleButton: View { let title: String let action: () -> Void var body: some View { Button { NSLog("Tapped") action() } label: { Text(title) }.highPriorityGesture(LongPressGesture(minimumDuration: 0.5).onEnded { _ in NSLog("Long press.") action() }) } } struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { VStack { SampleButton(title: "Tap or LongPress") {} } } } Environment: Xcode: Version 16.3 (16E140) iOS: iOS 18.4(simulator), iOS 17.5, iOS 16.4, iOS 15.2

I’ve noticed with the new design language, SwiftUI views appear to not use color as much. Example, color modifiers for List View items like carets. Is this intended and can developers introduce color back into SwiftUI view elements, if desired, like in iOS/iPadOS 18? Specifically, accent color not been used in List disclosure outline carets.

Goal : Drag a sphere across the room and track it's position Problem: The gesture seems to have no effect on the sphere ModelEntity. I don't know how to properly attach the gesture to the ModelEntity. Any help is great. Thank you import SwiftUI import RealityKit import RealityKitContent import Foundation @main struct testApp: App { @State var immersionStyle:ImmersionStyle = .mixed var body: some Scene { ImmersiveSpace { ContentView() } .immersionStyle(selection: $immersionStyle, in: .mixed, .full, .progressive) } } struct ContentView: View { @State private var lastPosition: SIMD3<Float>? = nil @State var subscription: EventSubscription? @State private var isDragging: Bool = false var sphere: ModelEntity { let mesh = MeshResource.generateSphere(radius: 0.05) let material = SimpleMaterial(color: .blue, isMetallic: false) let entity = ModelEntity(mesh: mesh, materials: [material]) entity.generateCollisionShapes(recursive: true) return entity } var drag: some Gesture { DragGesture() .targetedToEntity(sphere) .onChanged { _ in self.isDragging = true } .onEnded { _ in self.isDragging = false } } var body: some View { Text("Hello, World!")

Prior to visionOS 2.5, .onTapGesture was called with the following structure, but in visionOS 26.0 beta, it is no longer called. Is .onTapGesture deprecated in visionOS 26.0 and above? Or is it a bug? TabView(selection: $selectedTab) { WebViewView(selectedTab: $selectedTab) .onTapGesture { viewModel.userDidInteract = true } }

I've been looking for a solution to configure the Apple TV remote(s) from the 5th generation and upwards. Some of the basic functionalities are disabling buttons on the physical remote control while maintaining proper functionality on remote controller apps on iOS devices. There seems to be a lack of relevant entitlements in that category, and without it I can't seem to figure out a way to make it work. Any ideas on the matter? Maybe a workaround that allows to configure the Apple TV to work with other remotes? Thank you in advance to anyone that put in thought to my query.

I'm developing a CarPlay version of my app, with the CarPlay EV Charging App entitlement (com.apple.developer.carplay-charging). However, I would like to use the Search template to searching for charging stations — but it seems this template is only available for Navigation Apps(maps). In this case, what is the recommended approach? Is it possible to apply both entitlements simultaneously and use the Search template only?

I am attempting to start my application on iOS 26 with Xcode 26. It uses an UISplitViewController that is instantiated through a Storyboard. It uses the "Unspecified" style, which is a holdover from a previous version of iOS. I'm not sure if this is a bug in iOS, or if I am supposed to change it now. The viewControllers property only has the primary view controller on iOS, although it has the primary and detail view controllers on iPadOS. When I start the application on iOS 18.5, it has both primary and detail controllers on both platforms.

Does the new TextEditor in iOS 26, which supports rich text / AttributedString, also support the ability to add text attachments or tokens? For example, in Xcode, we can type <#foo#> to create an inline text placeholder/token which can be interacted with in a different way than standard text.

Hello everyone, I’d appreciate if anyone can tell me if there’s a way to actually control visual layout of subviews in a predicate editor row template. I have a predicate editor with custom row template subclasses, all created in code (not in IB) and it all works fine, but the problem are template (sub)views, which are not NSPopUpButton(s). As I select different items of popup buttons, effectively changing editor’s predicate property, those buttons seem to get resized according to some strange own logic, but the general the problem is that size (width) of controls, such are text fields and date pickers, gets unpredictable and they usually shrink, even though there is still a plenty of room in the template row width. Trying to resize any control in a row template by force (setFrame: or setFrameSize:) has no effect. I can show some screenshots and videos of the behaviour, as well as code samples, if necessary, but I’d like to ask first, maybe someone already knows what I’m talking about and provide some insights and solutions. Thanks in advance.

There are hundreds of functions in my project that require creating shortcuts, but AppShortcutsProvider only supports up to 10 AppShortcut declarations, so I used over 100 AppIntents for users to manually add shortcuts (I did not add them to AppShortcutsProvider); The problem now is that I hope all the AppIntents I declare have specific names and function icons. I have tried my best to configure AppIntents with the query document, but the default display in the shortcut app is the icon of this application instead of the function icon I set. My code is as follows: struct ResizeImageIntent: AppIntent { static var title: LocalizedStringResource = "修改图片尺寸" static var description: IntentDescription = IntentDescription("快速打开修改图片尺寸功能") static var openAppWhenRun: Bool = true func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult { if let url = URL(string: "toolbox://resizeimage") { await UIApplication.shared.open(url) } return .result() } } The following is the code with icon configuration added: struct VideoParseIntent: AppIntent { static var title: LocalizedStringResource = "万能解析" static var description: IntentDescription = IntentDescription("快速打开万能解析功能") static var openAppWhenRun: Bool = true // 修正：返回AppShortcut数组 static var appShortcuts: [AppShortcut] { [ AppShortcut( intent: VideoParseIntent(), phrases: ["使用万能解析"], systemImageName: "play.rectangle.on.rectangle" // 系统内置图标 ) ] } func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult { if let url = URL(string: "toolbox://videoparse") { await UIApplication.shared.open(url) } return .result() } }

The badge is cut if it's assigned to the last item. Is it a known issue? Thank you.

If you try to add a graph for a function in Apple Notes you can see that numbers marking coordinates are positioned along the axes (see screenshot 1). But when I am making my own plot view with Swift Charts I don't see that option. Marks for X axis are positioned at the bottom, and marks for Y axis are positioned to the right. I don't see an API that can configure them to be shown along the axes. Is there something that I am missing? Or is Apple just using some private API for that? I could make a custom overlay to display these marks, but then I will have to adjust them while zooming myself, which can be problematic.

I have a TextEditor, to the constructor of which in addition to the text I pass an object of the TextSelection? type. I check on the Simulator with iOS 18.2. An attempt to clear the text leads to a crash with the message "Thread 1: Fatal error: String index is out of bounds" in Xcode. More about the error: libswiftCore.dylib`_swift_runtime_on_report: -> 0x194f32024 <+0>: ret More about the reproduction conditions: struct MyView: View { @Bindable private var viewModel = MyViewModel() @State var myTextSelection: TextSelection? = nil var body: some View { ZStack { // Some other code myEditor // Some other code } .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .primaryAction) { Button { viewModel.clear() } label: { Label("Clear", systemImage: "eraser") } } } } var myEditor: some View { ZStack(alignment: .topLeading) { TextEditor(text: $viewModel.text, selection: $myTextSelection) .disableAutocorrection(true) .autocapitalization(.sentences) } // Some other code } } MyViewModel: @Observable final class MyViewModel: ObservableObject { var text: String = "" func clear() { text = "" } }

Hi everyone, I’m currently trying to create a pure backdrop blur effect in my iOS app (SwiftUI / UIKit), similar to the backdrop-filter: blur(20px) effect in CSS. My goal is simple: • Apply a Gaussian blur (radius ~20px) to the background content • Overlay a semi-transparent black layer (opacity 0.3) • Avoid any predefined color tint from UIBlurEffect or .ultraThinMaterial, etc. However, every method I’ve tried so far (e.g., .ultraThinMaterial, UIBlurEffect(style:)) always introduces a built-in tint, which makes the result look gray or washed out. Even when layering a black color with opacity 0.3 over .ultraThinMaterial, it doesn’t give the clean, transparent-black + blur look I want. What I’m looking for: • A clean 20px blur effect (like CIGaussianBlur) • No color shift/tint added by default • A layer of black at 30% opacity on top of the blur • Ideally works live (not a static snapshot blur) Has anyone achieved something like this in UIKit or SwiftUI? Would really appreciate any insights, workarounds, or libraries that can help. Thanks in advance! Ben

For now, my app name length is more than 20 characters, so the iPhone app name displays without a space, and uses the range operator to ensure showing the rest in the next line. Is it possible to show space and name with 2 lines?

I would like to have different fill colors in my chart. What I want to achieve is that if the values drop below 0 the fill color should be red. If they are above the fill color should be red. My code looks as follows: import SwiftUI import Charts struct DataPoint: Identifiable {     let id: UUID = UUID()     let x: Int     let y: Int } struct AlternatingChartView: View {          enum Gradients {         static let greenGradient = LinearGradient(gradient: Gradient(colors: [.green, .white]), startPoint: .top, endPoint: .bottom)         static let blueGradient = LinearGradient(gradient: Gradient(colors: [.white, .blue]), startPoint: .top, endPoint: .bottom)     }          let data: [DataPoint] = [         DataPoint(x: 1, y: 10),         DataPoint(x: 2, y: -5),         DataPoint(x: 3, y: 20),         DataPoint(x: 4, y: -8),         DataPoint(x: 5, y: 15),     ]               var body: some View {         Chart {             ForEach(data) { data in                 AreaMark(                     x: .value("Data Point", data.x),                     y: .value("amount", data.y))                 .interpolationMethod(.catmullRom)                 .foregroundStyle(data.y < 0 ? Color.red : Color.green)                                  LineMark(                 x: .value("Data Point", data.x),                 y: .value("amount", data.y))                 .interpolationMethod(.catmullRom)                 .foregroundStyle(Color.black)                 .lineStyle(StrokeStyle.init(lineWidth: 4))                              }         }         .frame(height: 200)     } } #Preview {     AlternatingChartView() } The result looks like this: I also tried using foregroundStyle(by:) and chartForegroundStyleScale(_:) but the result was, that two separate areas had been drawn. One for the below and one for the above zero datapoints. So, what would be the right approach to have two different fill colors?

I have a question about the app lifecycle when my app is launched via a Shortcut. I'm adding a INIntent to a Mac app. So my app delegate implements: - (nullable id)application:(NSApplication *)application handlerForIntent:(INIntent *)intent Then my custom intent handler implements the two protocol methods -confirmIntentNameHere:completion: and -handleIntentNameHere:completion: During my testing -applicationDidFinishLaunching: is called before the intent methods, so I can forward methods to my main window controller to perform the shortcut actions, since it's already ready. ....But if this is not always the case, I can still perform them but I'd have to move the code out of the window controller to perform the action "headless" if invoked before my app has built its UI. Just wondering if this is something I should be prepared for. Thanks in advance.

Subject: SwiftUI Gesture Conflict in iOS 18: Simultaneous Recognition of Drag and Tap Gestures Description: In SwiftUI on iOS 18 and above, we've identified an issue with gesture handling that affects user experience. When implementing .simultaneousGesture(DragGesture()), the system incorrectly recognizes and processes both drag and tap gestures concurrently, resulting in unintended behavior. Technical Details: Environment: SwiftUI, iOS 18+ Issue: Simultaneous recognition of horizontal drag gestures and vertical scroll/tap gestures Current Behavior: Both vertical and horizontal scrolling occur simultaneously when using .simultaneousGesture(DragGesture()) Expected Behavior: Gestures should be properly disambiguated to prevent concurrent scrolling in multiple directions Impact: This behavior significantly impacts user experience, particularly in custom carousel implementations and other UI components that rely on precise gesture handling. The simultaneous recognition of both gestures creates a confusing and unpredictable interaction pattern. Steps to Reproduce: Create a SwiftUI view with horizontal scrolling (e.g., custom carousel) Implement .simultaneousGesture(DragGesture()) Add tap gesture recognition to child views Run on iOS 18 Attempt to scroll horizontally Observed Result: Both horizontal dragging and vertical scrolling/tapping are recognized and processed simultaneously, creating an inconsistent user experience. Expected Result: The system should properly disambiguate between horizontal drag gestures and vertical scroll/tap gestures, allowing only one type of gesture to be recognized at a time based on the user's intent. Please let me know if you need any additional information or reproduction steps.

I'm trying to create a .pkg installer with productbuild/pkgbuild. But I'd also like to add my custom installer plugin to this. I'm using the following script. I'd like to add my bundle into this script. Since there are no official docs from apple how to do this nor there are a lot of updated resources, here are some things I have tried. adding the following line to Distrubtion.xml <bundle id="pluginid" path="path/to/myplugin.bundle"/> adding component tag to pkgbuild also doesn't do anything --component "path/to/myplugin.bundle" The bundle itself is build with XCode - it is a simple UI for user to type some input in Apple provides documentation for Distribution.xml file, which supports different UI elements but doesn't support text input - docs I have been also looking at this tutorial , it is very outdated but i could still fit it to my needs except the part where the .bundle file needs to be inserted into .pkg. Note - there is no option to view the contents of .pkg file build with pkbuild/productbuild How can i do this process correctly? I would like to link my installer pane plugin to a generic .pkg(with licenses and so on). I'd appreciate any kind of help!

I have created a custom hover effect per this WWDC video and many other examples on the Net: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2024/10152/ I can get the button to expand when looked at within a VisionOS device and it will invoke a tap event when tapped but there is no click sound like a normal SwiftUI button does in VisionOS! I can't for the life of me figure out why. Any help would be appreciated!
