[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. The hit area shrinks to the image bounds instead of preserving the standard minimum tappable size. SCREEN RECORDING On a physical device, the difference is obvious—it’s easy to miss the button. Sometimes it even shows the button-tapped bounce animation but doesn’t trigger the action. SYSTEM INFO Xcode Version 26.0 (17A321) macOS 15.6.1 (24G90) iOS 26.0 (23A340) SAMPLE CODE The following snippet shows the difference in hit targets between the convenience initializer, a Label, and an Image (the latter two in a label: closure). // ✅ Hit target is entire button Button("Button 1", systemImage: "1.square.fill") { print("Button 1 tapped") } // ✅ Hit target is entire button Button { print("Button 2 tapped") } label: { Label("Button 2", systemImage: "2.square.fill") } // ❌ Hit target is smaller than button Button { print("Button 3 tapped") } label: { Image(systemName: "3.square.fill") }

[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):

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.

[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. SYSTEM INFO Xcode 26.1.1 (17B100) macOS 26.1 (25B78) iOS 26.1 (23B85) iOS 26.2 (23C5044b) REPRO STEPS Run the code below on a physical device, tap an image, then swipe from the left edge to dismiss the detail view. ACTUAL The image zooms back to its origin, then disappears once the animation settles. EXPECTED The image card remains visible. SCREENSHOTS CODE import SwiftUI struct Item: Identifiable, Hashable { let id = UUID() let imageName: String let title: String } struct ContentView: View { @Namespace private var namespace let items = [ Item(imageName: "SampleImage", title: "Sample Card 1"), Item(imageName: "SampleImage2", title: "Sample Card 2") ] var body: some View { NavigationStack { ScrollView { VStack(spacing: 16) { ForEach(items) { item in NavigationLink(value: item) { CardView(item: item) .matchedTransitionSource(id: item.id, in: namespace) } .buttonStyle(.plain) } } .padding() } .navigationTitle("Zoom Transition Issue") .navigationSubtitle("Tap image, then swipe back from left edge") .navigationDestination(for: Item.self) { item in DetailView(item: item, namespace: namespace) .navigationTransition(.zoom(sourceID: item.id, in: namespace)) } } } } struct CardView: View { let item: Item var body: some View { GeometryReader { geometry in ZStack(alignment: .bottom) { Image(item.imageName) .resizable() .scaledToFill() .frame(width: geometry.size.width, height: geometry.size.height) .clipped() } } .frame(height: 200) .clipShape(RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 16)) } } struct DetailView: View { let item: Item let namespace: Namespace.ID var body: some View { Image(item.imageName) .resizable() .scaledToFill() .clipped() } }

[Submitted as FB18870294, but posting here for visibility.] In iOS 26 beta 3 (23A5287g), implicit animations no longer work when conditionally showing or hiding rows in a Form. Rows with Text or other views inside a Section appear and disappear abruptly, even when wrapped in withAnimation or using .animation() modifiers. This is a regression from iOS 18.5, where the row item animates in and out correctly with the same code. Repro Steps Create a new iOS App › SwiftUI project. Replace its ContentView struct with the code below Build and run on an iOS 18 device. Tap the Show Middle Row toggle and note how the Middle Row animates. Build and run on an iOS 26 beta 3 device. Tap the Show Middle Row toggle. Expected Middle Row item should smoothly animate in and out as it does on iOS 18. Actual Middle Row item appears and disappears abruptly, without any animation. Code struct ContentView: View { @State private var showingMiddleRow = false var body: some View { Form { Section { Toggle( "Show **Middle Row**", isOn: $showingMiddleRow.animation() ) if showingMiddleRow { Text("Middle Row") } Text("Last Row") } } } }

[Also submitted as FB19313064] The .disabled() modifier doesn't visually disable buttons inside a ToolbarItem container on iOS 26.0 (23A5297i) devices. The button looks enabled, but tapping it doesn't trigger the action. When deployment target is lowered to iOS 18 and deployed to an iOS 18 device, it works correctly. It still fails on an iOS 26 device, even with an iOS 18-targeted build. This occurs in both the Simulator and on a physical device. Screen Recording Code struct ContentView: View { @State private var isButtonDisabled = false private var osTitle: String { let version = ProcessInfo.processInfo.operatingSystemVersion return "iOS \(version.majorVersion)" } var body: some View { NavigationStack { VStack { Button("Body Button") { print("Body button tapped") } .buttonStyle(.borderedProminent) .disabled(isButtonDisabled) Toggle("Disable buttons", isOn: $isButtonDisabled) Spacer() } .padding() .navigationTitle("Device: \(osTitle)") .navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.large) .toolbar { ToolbarItem { Button("Toolbar") { print("Toolbar button tapped") } .buttonStyle(.borderedProminent) .disabled(isButtonDisabled) } } } } }

[Also submitted as FB21536505] When presenting a NavigationStack inside a .sheet, applying .tint(Color) does not affect the system back button on pushed destinations. The sheet’s close button adopts the tint, but the back chevron remains the default system color. REPRO Create a new iOS project and replace ContentView.swift with the code below. —or— Present a .sheet containing a NavigationStack. Apply .tint(.red) to the NavigationStack or sheet content. Push a destination using NavigationLink. EXPECTED The back button chevron adopts the provided tint color, consistent with other toolbar buttons and UIKit navigation behavior. ACTUAL The back button chevron remains the default system color. NOTES Reproduces consistently on: iOS 26.2 (23C54) iOS 26.3 (23D5089e) SCREEN RECORDING SAMPLE CODE import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @State private var isSheetPresented = false var body: some View { Button("Open Settings Sheet") { isSheetPresented = true } .sheet(isPresented: $isSheetPresented) { NavigationStack { List { NavigationLink("Push Detail") { DetailView() } } .navigationTitle("Settings") .navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.inline) .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .automatic) { Button("Close", systemImage: "xmark") { isSheetPresented = false } } } } .tint(.red) } } } private struct DetailView: View { var body: some View { List { Text("Detail View") } .navigationTitle("Detail") .navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.inline) } }

Before I waste time creating an Apple Developer Support ticket, I’m hoping an Apple DTS engineer can confirm if this is just log noise. Here’s the code: import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @State private var editMode: EditMode = .inactive @State private var items = ["Item 1", "Item 2", "Item 3"] var body: some View { NavigationStack { List { ForEach(items, id: \.self) { item in Text(item) } .onDelete { indexSet in items.remove(atOffsets: indexSet) } } .environment(\.editMode, $editMode) .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarTrailing) { EditButton() .environment(\.editMode, $editMode) } } } } } #Preview { ContentView() } When you run this code and tap Edit, you’ll initially get: CoreSVG has logged an error. Set environment variabe [sic] "CORESVG_VERBOSE" to learn more. After setting CORESVG_VERBOSE = YES, you’ll see: CoreSVG: Error: NULL ref passed to getObjectCoreSVG: Error: NULL ref passed to getObject This error only appears the first time Edit is tapped after a build and run. It won't happen again, even after force-quitting and reopening the app. The issue also only happens on iOS 18.0 and 18.1—I can’t reproduce it on iOS 17.5. Fortunately, it doesn’t seem to cause any negative side effects. Is this just log noise?
