I have an app that runs eitheir as MacOS or iPadOS. After a few changes to adapt to API differences (PasteBoard notably), app runs OK on both. But the layout of views is messy when running on iPad. Reason seems to be that Text are not using the same default font size, or that the same system font size does not use the same space. Same issue when using segmented picker for instance. Configuration: Xcode 14.2 MacOS 12.6.6 Simulator: iPad Pro (12.9") - iOS 16.2 Is it a correct analysis ? Is there a simple workaround, to avoid the need to redesign all views for iPadOS ?

If I run the exact same code on MacOS 12.7 (Xcode 14.2) and MacOS 15.0.1 (Xcode 15.0.1). In a scrollView, I display lines (lineDivider) and then a LazyVgrid, applying some offset: ScrollView(.vertical) { ForEach(1...50, id: \.self) { index in LabelledDivider(label: "\(index)", color: .gray.opacity(0.1)) .offset(y: CGFloat(65*index - 50) } LazyVGrid(columns: gridItemLayout, spacing: 33 ) { ForEach ($allItems.theItems) { $item in ItemView(item: item) } } .offset(y: 40) } In Xcode 14.2, I get the first layout and in Xcode 15.0 the second on right: The divider line is at the same position, but the view in grid is not. If I change .offset(y: 40) to .offset(y: 60) I get the same layout. So my questions: did anyone observe similar change ? is it due to Xcode, to MacOS ? Is it documented somewhere ?

This app allows to take photos. It works OK, but since recently I get the following error message: ERROR: PHOTO not found in table CameraUI-SpatialVideo of bundle CFBundle 0x283e96220 </System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CameraUI.framework> (not loaded) What is this spatial video ? I'm just using still images, not using CameraUI.framework.

I prepare an app to migrate from ObservableObject to Observable, from EnvironmentObject to Environment(MyClass.self) and so so forth. That works OK, very simple. But, that forces to run on macOS 14 or more recent. So I would like to have it conditionally, such as: if macOS 14 available @Environment(ActiveConfiguration.self) var activeConfiguration: ActiveConfiguration otherwise @EnvironmentObject var activeConfiguration: ActiveConfiguration The same for the class declaration: if macOS 14 available @Observable class ActiveConfiguration { var config = Configuration() } otherwise class ActiveConfiguration : ObservableObject { @Published var config = Configuration() } Is there a way to achieve this (I understand it is not possible through extensions of Macros, as we can do for modifiers) ? Could I define 2 classes for ActiveConfiguration, but then what about @Environment ?

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).

I sometimes use Xcode 14.2. Recently, I have an issue with simulators: on some SwiftUI project, the simulator list is empty. I created a new project.

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 ?

After porting code to Swift 6 (Xcode 16.4), I get a consistent crash (on simulator) when using UNUserNotificationServiceConnection It seems (searching on the web) that others have met the same issue. Is it a known Swift6 bug ? Or am I misusing UNUserNotification ? I do not have the crash when compiling on Xcode 26 ß5, which hints at an issue in Xcode 16.4. Crash log: Thread 10 Queue : com.apple.usernotifications.UNUserNotificationServiceConnection.call-out (serial) As far as I can tell, it seems error is when calling nonisolated func userNotificationCenter(_ center: UNUserNotificationCenter, willPresent notification: UNNotification, withCompletionHandler completionHandler: @escaping (UNNotificationPresentationOptions) -> Void) I had to declare non isolated to solve a compiler error. Main actor-isolated instance method 'userNotificationCenter(_:didReceive:withCompletionHandler:)' cannot be used to satisfy nonisolated requirement from protocol 'UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate' I was advised to: Add 'nonisolated' to 'userNotificationCenter(_:didReceive:withCompletionHandler:)' to make this instance method not isolated to the actor I filed a bug report: Aug 10, 2025 at 2:43 PM – FB19519575

I'm struggling to implement required code for SB2420 compliance. I try to learn on a very simple use case. the app is UIKit Build in Xcode 26.2 it displays a single Hello view with a button that will simply show a "Good day" label. I assume the app will be rated 4+. I tried the following code, using available information in Xcode (limited): import UIKit import DeclaredAgeRange // other import needed ? class ViewController: UIViewController { @IBOutlet weak var welcomeLabel: UILabel! // initially hidden override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() // Do any additional setup after loading the view. } func testAgeRange() -> Bool { if !isEligibleForAgeFeatures { // Not found. Which import needed ? return true // Not called from Texas } // Following code from Xcode doc… do { let response = try await AgeRangeService.shared.requestAgeRange(ageGates: 13, 15, 18) // Compiler Error: Missing argument for parameter 'in' in call // Can I add the 4 gate ? guard let lowerBound = response.lowerBound else { // Allow access to under 13 features. return false } var ok = false if lowerBound >= 18 { // Not needed ? // Allow access to 18+ features. ok = true } else if lowerBound >= 15 { // Not needed ? // Allow access to 15+ features. ok = true } else if lowerBound >= 13 { // Not needed ? // Require parental consent ? // Allow access to 13+ features. ok = true // if consent OK } else { // Require parental consent ? // Show age-appropriate content ok = true // if consent OK } return ok // Authorized for all 4+ } catch AgeRangeService.Error.notAvailable { // No age range provided. return false } } func executeStart() { welcomeLabel.isHidden = false } @IBAction func start(_ sender: UIButton) { if #available(iOS 26.0, *) { if testAgeRange() { // Need to test for parental control here ? } else { // Alert and exit the app ? } } else { // do nothing ? Can we run the app ? } executeStart() } } The logic would be: before allowing action with the start button, check is it IOS 26+ so that we can call API if so, is verification needed (Texas SB2420) if not, we can proceed if required, test age range As app is 4+, all ranges should be OK But need to test parental control Now, many pending questions in code: line 14: get an error: Cannot find 'isEligibleForAgeFeatures' in scope line 19: I used the documentation sample for AgeRangeService, but get a Compiler Error: Missing argument for parameter 'in' in call line 35: how to implement parental control ? In addition, in the metadata of the app, should I declare that parental control ? Age verification? Mechanism for confirming that a person's age meets the age requirement for accessing content or services As there is no restriction on age, is it required ? Any help welcomed as well as link to a comprehensive tutorial.

According to this news, we don't need anymore (at least temporarily): https://www.macrumors.com/2025/12/23/texas-app-store-law-blocked/ A Texas federal judge today blocked an App Store age verification law that was set to go into effect on January 1, 2026, which means Apple may not have to support the changes after all. Hope we shall get very rapidly more information from Apple.

I got accidentally this graph whilst playing with the periods of display in AppStoreConnect Trends hourly graph on several days But when I try to recall it, no way. If I select a multi days period, hourly graph is not available. Someone has an idea how to get it again ? Or was I lucky to profit of a forums bug ? Here are the settings for the graph I cannot select again.

In this app I use tooltips extensively. They work perfectly well, except in a popover where they may appear or not (just some flash and immediately disappear). In the popover there are 12 colour buttons, each with its own tracking area and 3 control buttons, with their tracking areas. Here when it works, hovering over "C" button or "Annuler" button: But then, when I move to another colour button, a few 2 or 3 may work, but most don't display their tooltip at all. I know that the tooltip is set because I replicate the message in a help line at the bottom of the screen and this line always update: Let messageForColor = "Choisir la couleur…" if button.isEnabled { // show tooltip button.toolTip = messageForColor } else { button.toolTip = nil } if button.isEnabled { // Shows helpline at the bottom of screen button.helpMessage = messageForColor } Maybe it comes from some useDefault (I modified NSInitialTool TipDelay and I'm not sure I have reset to the default value) I noted that if I wait for 10 seconds or so (keeping the popover opened), everything seems to work properly again. Just as if there was some lengthy initialisation going on. So questions: Is there a known issue of Tooltips in a popover ? Are there other parameters to set in userDefaults to avoid immediate disparition of the tooltip in popover ? How to reset the factory setting for the UserDefaults in the app ?

Context: Xcode 16.4, Appkit In a windowController, I need to create and send a mouseDown event (newMouseDownEvent). I create the event with: let newMouseDownEvent = NSEvent.mouseEvent( with: .leftMouseDown, location: clickPoint, // all other fields I also need to make window key and front, otherwise the event is not handled.   func simulateMouseDown() { self.window?.makeFirstResponder(self.window) self.calepinFullView.perform(#selector(NSResponder.self.mouseDown(with:)), with: newMouseDownEvent!) }   As I have to delay the call( 0.5 s), I use asyncAfter: DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 0.5, qos: .userInteractive) { self.simulateMouseDown() }   It works as intended, but that generates the following (purple) warning at runtime: [Internal] Thread running at User-interactive quality-of-service class waiting on a lower QoS thread running at Default quality-of-service class. Investigate ways to avoid priority inversions I have tried several solutions, change qos in await: DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 0.5, qos: ..default) call from a DispatchQueue let interactiveQueue = DispatchQueue.global(qos: .userInteractive) interactiveQueue.async { self.window?.makeFirstResponder(self.window) self.calepinFullView.perform(#selector(NSResponder.self.mouseDown(with:)), with: newMouseDownEvent!) } But that's worse, it crashes with the following error: FAULT: NSInternalInconsistencyException: -[HIRunLoopSemaphore wait:] has been invoked on a secondary thread; the problem is likely in a much shallower frame in the backtrace; { NSAssertFile = "HIRunLoop.mm"; NSAssertLine = 709; }   How to eliminate the priority inversion risk (not just silencing the warning) ?
