Irrelevant automatically generated answers on the forum
I've recently seen answers to posts that are apparently automatically generated but signed as App Store Connect Engineer. In several cases the answer is misinterpreting the OP. Here is an example: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/758391 The OP was really a developer question. Not related to a consumer feature. Is it really an automatic answer (which would be a bad trend for the forums IMHO)?

PullDown menu shows in reverse order when in landscape
I create a UIKit PullDown menu (in a positionMenu button), with the following code: func setupPullDownMenu() { let menu1 = UIAction(title: "Menu1") { [self] _ in // some code } let menu2 = UIAction(title: "Menu2") { [self] _ in // some code } let menu3 = UIAction(title: "Menu3") { [self] _ in // some code } let menu = UIMenu(title: "Positions", children: [menu1, menu2, menu3]) positionMenu.menu = menu positionMenu.showsMenuAsPrimaryAction = true }   In Portrait, options are listed as Menu1, Menu2, Menu3 But in Landscape it is the reverse: Menu3, Menu2, Menu1 I use Xcode 16.1ß and iOS 17.0 simulator Is it the expected behaviour ?

SwiftUI conditional modifier depending on OS type and version
This app may run on MacOS or iOS. I want to use windowResizability modifier (specially In MacOS) which is only available on masOS 13+ and iOS 17+, but still need to run on macOS 12 or iOS 15… So I need something like #if os(macOS) if #available(macOS 13 *) { use windowResizability #else do not use windowResizability #endif #else // iOS if #available(iOS 17 *) { use windowResizability #else do not use windowResizability #endif Here is the code where to apply (in @main) struct TheApp: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() // 1.11.2023 .frame( minWidth: 1200, maxWidth: .infinity, minHeight: 600, maxHeight: .infinity) } .windowResizability(.contentSize) // BTW: is that really necessary ? } } How can I achieve this ? Do I need to write a WindowGroup extension for the modifier ? If so, how ? BTW: is windowResizability really necessary ? App seems to work the same without it.

SafariBookmarksSyncAgent quits unexpectedly
Since recently (maybe after updating to Sonoma 14.7.1 - 23H222, but not sure, I get a crash report stating that SafariBookmarksSyncAgent quitted unexpectedly Once acquitted the report, it will reappear 2 minutes later as long as Xcode is open. Configuration: Sonoma 14.7.1 Safari Technology Preview Release 208 (Safari 18.2, WebKit 19621.1.5.1) Xcode 15.3 (15E204a) That seems to be a known problem. Question: Is it due to MacOS version ? To Xcode version ? To Safari version ? To webKit version ? Or to simulator, as I gat an AegirPoster crash (as described here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/77083912/macbook-pro-crashes-when-using-simulator-aegirposter-process) I read that I would need to restart some devices (eg, iPhone). That seems to temporarily solve the problem Here is a part of the report: Incident Identifier: 0D2456DF-5801-41D6-8294-2BF442224913 CrashReporter Key: 4DE33529-174E-32C5-D8A8-26FE128BE16B Hardware Model: Mac14,12 Process: SafariBookmarksSyncAgent [38972] Path: /Volumes/VOLUME/*/SafariSupport.bundle/SafariBookmarksSyncAgent Identifier: com.apple.SafariBookmarksSyncAgent Version: 8614 (8614.1.25.0.17) Code Type: ARM-64 (Native) Role: Unspecified Parent Process: launchd_sim [28070] Coalition: com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimDevice.0058D576-D9FF-4169-8437-D0A24C923500 [9832] Responsible Process: SimulatorTrampoline [1116] Date/Time: 2024-11-27 15:19:42.4908 +0100 Launch Time: 2024-11-27 15:19:42.4610 +0100 OS Version: macOS 14.7.1 (23H222) Release Type: User Report Version: 104 Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV) Exception Subtype: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x0000000204476580 Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000001, 0x0000000204476580 VM Region Info: 0x204476580 is not in any region.

Could someone test if Settings in iOS 18.2 are broken ?
Apparently, settings do not show anymore the apps settings in iOS 18.2. I tested on simulators (Xcode 16.2) both on iOS 18.1 and iOS 18.2 and got very different results: In iOS 18.1 simulator, I see the settings of a lot of apps. In iOS 18.2 simulator, not a single app setting. That is a really serious issue in simulator for development (I filed a bug report FB16175635), but would be really critical on device as it would make it impossible to adjust setting of many apps. Unless I missed something (meta setting ?) in iOS 18.2 ? I have not upgraded to 18.2 notably for this reason. So I would appreciate if someone who has upgraded could make the test and report ? select Settings on Home page scroll to Apps category tap here to access the list Does the list show anything ? Thanks for your help.

labels appear as dimmed in UIView
In this setup, label do not show properly because of the textColor. Labels are defined in IB, in the following hierarchy: ViewController View Label 1 scrollView View Button Label 2 Buttons show properly, but labels, even though defined with default label color appear as if their alpha was 0.2. It is even worse in dark mode: I have checked the settings for the label and did not find anything anormal: I have tried to change label color to system.gray 2, to no avail. If I change to red, does not show in red in IB. Problem appears for both Label 1 (at the top level in the view) and Label 2

Set UILabel color in alertController
I have an alertController that is presented as popover on iPad let alertController = UIAlertController(title: alertTitle, message: alertMessage, preferredStyle: alertStyle) if let ppc = alertController.popoverPresentationController { // … } Is it possible to change the message font color (which is really very light on iPad) ? It is OK on iPhone with the same alert (not popover): text is much more readable:

Picked photo in the gallery does not recognise image orientation
When picking a photo in the gallery, whatever the orientation of the original image, size is always as landscape if let image = info[convertFromUIImagePickerControllerInfoKey(UIImagePickerController.InfoKey.editedImage)] as? UIImage { print("picked original", image.size) For a portrait photo: picked original (1122.0, 932.0) For a landscape: picked original (1124.0, 844.0) What am I missing ?

tableView.dequeueReusableHeaderFooterView(withIdentifier: ) crashes on iPad only
I have created a custom class: class TarifsHeaderFooterView: UITableViewHeaderFooterView { …} With its init: override init(reuseIdentifier: String?) { super.init(reuseIdentifier: reuseIdentifier) configureContents() } I register the custom header view in viewDidLoad of the class using the tableView. Table delegate and data source are defined in storyboard. tarifsTableView.register(TarifsHeaderFooterView.self, forHeaderFooterViewReuseIdentifier: headerTarifsIdentifier) And call it: func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, viewForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> UIView? { let view = tableView.dequeueReusableHeaderFooterView(withIdentifier: headerTarifsIdentifier) as! TarifsHeaderFooterView That works on iPhone (simulators and devices). But it crashes on any iPad simulator, as tableView.dequeueReusableHeaderFooterView(withIdentifier: headerTarifsIdentifier) is found nil. What difference between iPhone and iPad do I miss that explains this crash ? PS: sorry for the messy message. It looks like the new "feature" of the forum to put a Copy code button on the code parts, causes the code sections to be put at the very end of the post, not at the place they should be.

In Xcode 26 ß (iOS 26 simulator) UIBarButtonItem content disappear when tapped
Just testing an existing app with Xcode 26. I notice that content of UIBarButtonItem (either text or image) disappears when tapped (and reappear on release). Those are custom, bordered buttons. Attribute inspector: Buttons in Xcode: When selected in Xcode, we see a rectangle inside the rounder rect of iOS 26 In simulator: When tapped in simulator: I have edited code from backButton.setTitleTextAttributes([ .font : boldFont, .foregroundColor : UIColor.systemBlue, ], for: .normal) to backButton.setTitleTextAttributes([ .font : boldFont, .foregroundColor : UIColor.systemBlue, ], for: [.normal, .focused, .selected, .highlighted]) to no avail. What am I missing ?

No more simulators showing in Xcode

Can some of those simulator files be safely deleted ?
When looking ay space used by system, I found that AssetsV2 (in System/Library) account for 270 GB. In this folder, 3 account for 260 GB and are apparently related to Xcode simulators: Content is a bit cryptic. Does it relate to some specific apps I compiled and ran on simulator ? Or is it related to older versions of Xcode I keep on the Mac ? How to know what each forlder relates to ? Is it safe to remove ?

Remote control for iPad from BLE device
I need to implement a remote control for a SwiftUI app running on iPad. I would need to handle 2 different events like Start / Stop. On software side, I plan to use .onReceive to listen to BLE device. So my questions: I need realtime reaction (a few 1/100 s max) can any BLE remote control do the job ? If anyone has tested some low cost remote, I am interested to know. Or should I look for Homekit solutions ? Or use an iPhone as remote controller ?

On daylight saving time change
Last night we change hour for daylight saving time (at 2:00 it would be 3:00). So I made a simple test to set an alarm at 2:10 At 1:59, clock jumped logically to 3:00 no alarm At 3:10, alarm rang (in fact I had turned it off and back on, but that has no influence) I set an alarm at 3:15, of course it rang I set a new alarm at 2:20 It rang at 3:20 Conclusion: Clock app "replicates" the alarms between 2:00 and 2:59 into 3:00 - 3:59. Which is great, not to miss any. Question: Is this specific to Clock app or a more general system behaviour for all time events ? If so, there may be a side effect: I set an event A to turn On a light at 2:45 And set event B to turn it Off at 3:15 Then B will occur before A and the light will remain On There is no perfect solution ("warping" 2:00 - 2:59 into a minute at 3:00 would creates other issues). Extra question: What happens on winter time ? Will alarm ring twice at 2:10 ?
