A popoverTip does not display for toolbar menu buttons in iOS 26.1 (23B5073a). The same code displays tips correctly in iOS 18.6. The issue occurs both in the simulator and on a physical device.
Repro Steps
Build and run the Sample Code below on iOS 26.1.
Observe that the popoverTip does not display.
Repeat on iOS 18.6 to confirm expected behavior.
Expected
popoverTips should appear when attached to a toolbar menu button, as they do in iOS 18.6.
Actual
No tip is displayed on iOS 26.1.
System Info
macOS 15.7.1 (24G231)
Xcode 26.1 beta 3 (17B5045g)
iOS 26.1 (23B5073a)
Screenshot
Screenshot showing two simulators side by side—iOS 18.6 on the left (tip displayed) and iOS 26.1 on the right (no tip displayed).
Sample code
import SwiftUI
import TipKit
struct PopoverTip: Tip {
var title: Text {
Text("Menu Tip")
}
var message: Text? {
Text("This tip displays on iOS 18.6, but NOT on iOS 26.1.")
}
}
struct ContentView: View {
var tip = PopoverTip()
var body: some View {
NavigationStack {
Text("`popoverTip` doesn't display on iOS 26.1 but does in iOS 18.6")
.padding()
.toolbar {
ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarTrailing) {
Menu {
Button("Dismiss", role: .cancel) { }
Button("Do Nothing") { }
} label: {
Label("More", systemImage: "ellipsis")
}
.popoverTip(tip)
}
}

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.

macOS 26.1 (25B78)

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.

I have a $4 USD, one-time-purchase app (Dash Calc) and sales have been rough. In a crowded category, an paid-upfront app feels like a tough sell without a way to try it first. I’d like to offer a simple 7-day free trial followed by a single lifetime purchase, but App Store Connect still doesn’t officially support trials for paid apps.
In Jan 2023, an App Store Commerce Engineer recommended the $0 non-consumable IAP + paid non-consumable IAP workaround:
https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/722874
I haven’t implemented it yet, but the subsequent discussion suggests the approach is overly complex. Handling refunds, reinstalls, activation timing, and purchase history requires non-obvious logic, and some developers report customer confusion and drop-off when presented with a $0 trial IAP.
Has anything improved since 2023?
Any new StoreKit APIs or App Store Connect changes that make this simpler or less error-prone?
Is the $0 non-consumable IAP still the recommended approach in 2026?
Any updated guidance for time-limited access on one-time purchases?
I’m happy to use the workaround if it’s still the official path—I just want to confirm there isn’t a better option now.

When VoiceOver reads decimal numbers with six or more digits after the decimal, it stops announcing the decimal separator and also adds pauses between each digit.
Text("0.12345") // VoiceOver: "zero **point** one two three four five"
Text("0.123456") // VoiceOver: "zero one, two, three, four, five, six"
How can I force VoiceOver to announce the decimal separator ("point") and not insert pauses regardless of the number of decimal digits?

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")
}

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)
}
}
}
}
}
}

This can also be seen in iOS 26.1 Seed 2 (23B5059e)'s Passwords app ("All" or "Passcodes" views):

Dynamic scaling of an Image() in a Button(), incorrectly decreases when transitioning from XXX Large to AX 1 accessibility text sizes, instead of continuing to grow as expected. This occurs both on device and in the simulator, in iOS 18.6 and iOS 26.
Repro Steps
Create a project with sample code below
Show the preview if not showing
In Xcode Preview, click Canvas Device Settings and change Dynamic Type from XXX Large to AX 1
Sample Code
struct ContentView: View {
var body: some View {
VStack(spacing: 30) {
Text("Button Image Scaling Issue")
.font(.system(size: 24, weight: .semibold))
Text("Switch dynamic type from **XXX Large** to **AX 1**. The **Button** icon shrinks while the **No Button** icon grows.")
.font(.system(size: 14, weight: .regular))
TestView(title: "No Button", isButton: false)
TestView(title: "Button", isButton: true)
}
.padding()
}
}
struct TestView: View {
let title: String
let isButton: Bool
var body: some View {
VStack {
Text(title)
.font(.system(size: 16))
.foregroundColor(.secondary)
if isButton {
Button {} label: {
Image(systemName: "divide")
.font(.system(.largeTitle))
}
.buttonStyle(.bordered)
.frame(height: 50)
} else {
Image(systemName: "divide")
.font(.system(.largeTitle))
.foregroundColor(.blue)
.frame(height: 50)
.background(Color.gray.opacity(0.2))
}
}
}
}
Expected Result
Both the button and non-button images should continue to scale up proportionally when moving to larger accessibility text sizes.
Actual Result
When going from XXX Large to AX 1…
Non-button image gets larger ✅
Button image gets smaller ❌

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.

SCREEN RECORDING
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.
