[Also submitted as FB20225387] When using a custom SF Symbol that combines a base symbol with a badge, the symbol doesn’t stay vertically centered when displayed in code. The vertical alignment shifts based on the Y offset of the badge. There are two problems with this: The base element shouldn’t move vertically when a badge is added—the badge is meant to add to the symbol, not change its alignment. The badge position should be consistent with system-provided badged symbols, where badges always appear in a predictable spot relative to the corner they're in (usually at X,Y offsets of 90% or 10%). Neither of these behaviors match what’s expected, leading to inconsistent and misaligned symbols in the UI. Screenshot of Problem The ellipsis shifts vertically whenever the badge Y offset is set to anything other than 50%. Even at a 90/10 offset, it still doesn’t align with the badge position of the system "envelope.badge" symbol. SF Symbols Export This seem to be a SwiftUI issue since both the export from SF Symbols is correctly centered: Xcode Assets Preview And it's also correct in the Xcode Assets preview: Steps to Repro In SF Symbols, create a custom symbol of "ellipsis" (right-click and Duplicate as Custom Symbol) Combine it with the "badge" component (select Custom Symbols, select the newly-created "custom.ellipsis", then right-click and Combine Symbol with Component…) Change the badge's Y Offset to 10%. Export the symbol and add it to your Xcode asset catalog. In Xcode, display the symbol inside a Button using Image(“custom.ellipsis.badge”). Add a couple more buttons separated by spacers, using system images of "ellipsis" and "app.badge". Compare the "custom.ellipsis.badge" button to the two system symbol buttons. Expected The combined symbol remains vertically centered, matching the alignment shown in both the SF Symbols export window and the Xcode asset catalog thumbnails. Actual The base symbol (e.g., the ellipsis portion) shifts vertically based on the Y offset of the badge element. This causes visual misalignment when displayed in SwiftUI toolbars or other layouts. Also included the system “envelope.badge” icon to show where a 90%, 10% badge offset should be located.

[Submitted as FB21078443] When using .matchedTransitionSource with .navigationTransition(.zoom), swiping back from the left edge to return from a detail view causes the source item to disappear once the transition finishes. It’s only a visual issue—the item is still there and can be tapped to open again. This doesn’t happen when using the Back button; only the swipe-back gesture triggers it. Also, it only reproduces on a physical device, not in Simulator.

In App Store Connect, a Build Uploads section recently appeared above versions in the iOS Builds page in the TestFlight tab. It’s always expanded, which pushes the Version sections halfway down the page—those are the ones I actually need to manage my builds (compliance, testing groups, etc.). Is there a way to either: Hide the Build Uploads section entirely, or Make it stay collapsed Right now, collapsing it doesn’t stick—it re-expands every time the page reloads. It wouldn’t be so bad if the list weren’t so long, but even expired builds still display, so I can't even expire a bunch of builds to minimize it.

[Submitted as FB20978913] When using .navigationTransition(.zoom) with a fullScreenCover, deleting the source item from the destination view causes a brief black flash during the dismiss animation. This is only visible in Light mode. REPRO STEPS Build and run the sample code below. Set the device to Light mode. Tap any row to open its detail view. In the detail view, tap Delete. Watch the dismiss animation as the list updates. EXPECTED The zoom transition should return smoothly to the list with no dark or black flash. ACTUAL A visible black flash appears over the deleted row during the collapse animation. It starts black, shortens, and fades out in sync with the row-collapse motion. The flash lasts about five frames and is consistently visible in Light mode. NOTES Occurs only when deleting from the presented detail view. Does not occur when deleting directly from the list. Does not occur or is not visible in Dark mode. Reproducible on both simulator and device. Removing .navigationTransition(.zoom) or using .sheet instead of .fullScreenCover avoids the issue.

In the example below, VoiceOver (in both iOS 18 and 26) reads the text contained within the image after the .accessibilityLabel, introduced by a “beep.” VoiceOver: Purple rounded square with the word 'Foo' in white letters. Image [beep] foo. I’d like it to only read the accessibility label. As a developer focused on accessibility, I make sure every image already has an appropriate label, so having iOS read the image text is redundant. Sample Code import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { Image("TextInImage") .resizable() .scaledToFit() .frame(width: 64, height: 64) .accessibilityLabel("Purple rounded square with the word 'Foo' in white letters.") } } Sample Image Drop this image in to Assets.xcassets and confirm it's named TextInImage.

In SF Symbols 7 (115), there are 458 symbols missing Availability info. I only discovered this after using one that didn’t appear in iOS 18 but does in iOS 26. Questions: Are there plans to add Availability info for all symbols? If the field is blank, is there a safe latest-OS version we can assume? I realize managing 7,000+ icons is tough, but missing info like this makes development frustrating. It doesn't help that there's no build warning when a named image isn't found, it just defaults to the text label. Screenshot Screenshot of SF Symbols 7 showing three symbols missing Availability info. The symbol ellipsis.circle.badge is selected and its properties pane also shows no Availability info.

[Also submitted as FB20636175] In iOS 26.1 Seed 2 (23B5059e), ToolbarItem menus with .bottomBar placement cause the toolbar item to disappear and rebuild after the menu is dismissed, instead of smoothly morphing back. The bottom toolbar can take 1–2 seconds to reappear. This also seems to coincide with this console error: Adding 'UIKitToolbar' as a subview of UIHostingController.view is not supported and may result in a broken view hierarchy. Add your view above UIHostingController.view in a common superview or insert it into your SwiftUI content in a UIViewRepresentable instead. This occurs both on device and in a simulator. Sample Project This sample ContentView includes two menu buttons—one in the bottom bar and one in the top bar. Dismissing the bottom bar menu causes a short delay before the button reappears, while the top bar menu behaves normally. struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { NavigationStack { Text("Tap and dismiss both menu buttons and note the difference.") .navigationTitle("BottomBar Menu Issue") .navigationSubtitle("Reproduces on iOS 26.1 Seed 2 (23B5059e)") .toolbar { // Control: top bar trailing menu animates back smoothly ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarTrailing) { Menu { Button("Dismiss", role: .cancel) { } Button("Do Nothing") { } } label: { Label("More", systemImage: "ellipsis.circle") .font(.title3) } } // Repro: delay before menu button reappears after menu dismissal ToolbarItem(placement: .bottomBar) { Menu { Button("Dismiss", role: .cancel) { } Button("Do Nothing") { } } label: { Label("Actions", systemImage: "ellipsis.circle") .font(.title2) } } } } } } Passwords App This can also be seen in iOS 26.1 Seed 2 (23B5059e)'s Passwords app ("All" or "Passcodes" views):

[Also submitted as FB20213961] SwiftUI Button with a label: closure containing only an Image view has a smaller tap target than buttons created with a Label or the convenience initializer.

How can I force VoiceOver to read parentheses for math expressions like this: Text("(2+3)×4") // VoiceOver: Two plus three, times four I’m looking for a way to have VoiceOver announce parentheses (e.g. “left paren”, “right paren”) without relying on NumberFormatter.Style.spellOut or .speechAlwaysIncludesPunctuation(), as both have drawbacks. Using .spellOut breaks braille output and Rotor › Characters menu by turning numbers and symbols into words. And .speechAlwaysIncludesPunctuation() makes VoiceOver overly verbose—for example, it reads “21” as “twenty hyphen one.” Is there a better way to selectively announce specific punctuation like parentheses while keeping numbers and symbols intact for braille and Rotor use?
