How to avoid Swift 6 concurrency warning from UIAccessibility.post()
I have the following var in an @Observable class: var displayResult: String { if let currentResult = currentResult, let decimalResult = Decimal(string: currentResult) { let result = decimalResult.formatForDisplay() UIAccessibility.post(notification: .announcement, argument: "Current result \(result)") return result } else { return "0" } } The UIAccessiblity.post gives me this warning: Reference to static property 'announcement' is not concurrency-safe because it involves shared mutable state; this is an error in Swift 6 How can I avoid this?

Is this log noise? "CoreSVG: Error: NULL ref passed to getObjectCoreSVG: Error: NULL ref passed to getObject"
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?

Implicit list row animations broken in Form container on iOS 26 beta 3
[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") } } } }

Custom SF Symbols with badges not vertically centered in SwiftUI buttons
[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. System Info SF Symbols Version 7.0 (114) Xcode Version 26.0 (17A321) macOS 15.6.1 (24G90) iOS 26.0 (23A340)

How to prevent VoiceOver from reading text INSIDE an image?
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.

.disabled() doesn't VISUALLY disable buttons inside ToolbarItem on iOS 26 devices
[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) } } } } }

Verifying braille output in an iOS app without a physical braille device?
I'm developing a calculator app and working to ensure a great experience for both VoiceOver and Braille display users. For expressions like (2+3)×5, I need two different accessibility outputs: VoiceOver (spoken): A descriptive string like “left paren two plus three right paren times five,” provided via .accessibilityValue. I'm using a custom spellOut function since VoiceOver doesn't announce parentheses—which are kind of important when doing math! Braille (symbolic): The literal math string (2+3)×5, provided using .accessibilityCustomContent("", ...), with an empty label so it’s not spoken aloud. The issue: I don’t have access to a Braille display device and Xcode’s Accessibility Inspector doesn’t seem to show the custom content. Is there any way to confirm that custom Braille content is being set correctly in Simulator or with other tools? Or…is there a "math mode" in VoiceOver that forces it to announce parentheses? Any advice or workarounds would be much appreciated! Thanks, Uhl
