I implemented BGContinuedProcessingTask in my app and it seems to be working well for everyone except one user (so far) who has reached out to report nothing happens when they tap the Start Processing button. They have an iPhone 12 Pro Max running iOS 26.1. Restarting iPhone does not fix it. When they turn off the background processing feature in the app, it works. In that case my code directly calls the function to start processing instead of waiting for it to be invoked in the register block (or submit catch block). Is this a bug that's possible to occur, maybe device specific? Or have I done something wrong in the implementation? func startProcessingTapped(_ sender: UIButton) { if isBackgroundProcessingEnabled { startBackgroundContinuedProcessing() } else { startProcessing(backgroundTask: nil) } } func startBackgroundContinuedProcessing() { BGTaskScheduler.shared.register(forTaskWithIdentifier: taskIdentifier, using: .main) { @Sendable [weak self] task in guard self != nil else { return } startProcessing(backgroundTask: task as? BGContinuedProcessingTask) } let request = BGContinuedProcessingTaskRequest(identifier: taskIdentifier, title: title, subtitle: subtitle) request.strategy = .fail if BGTaskScheduler.supportedResources.contains(.gpu) { request.requiredResources = .gpu } do { try BGTaskScheduler.shared.submit(request) } catch { startProcessing(backgroundTask: nil) } } func startProcessing(backgroundTask: BGContinuedProcessingTask?) { // FIXME: Never called for this user when isBackgroundProcessingEnabled is true }

Hello! What UIKit API enables you to add a view below the navigation bar and extend the scroll edge effect below it in iOS 26? safeAreaBar is how you do it in SwiftUI but I need to achieve this design in my UIKit app (which has a collection view in a view controller in a navigation controller). struct ContentView: View { let segments = ["First", "Second", "Third"] @State private var selectedSegment = "First" var body: some View { NavigationStack { List(0..<50, id: \.self) { i in Text("Row \(i + 1)") } .safeAreaBar(edge: .top) { Picker("Segment", selection: $selectedSegment) { ForEach(segments, id: \.self) { Text($0) } } .pickerStyle(.segmented) .padding(.horizontal) .padding(.bottom, 8) } .navigationTitle("Title") .navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.inline) } } }

I want to keep an eye on the App Store Connect release notes to find out when builds created with Xcode 26.2 RC will be accepted. I tried to add https://developer.apple.com/help/app-store-connect/release-notes/ to my RSS reeder but the items listed are not the same, it’s the items from the latest news from Apple Developer instead. Can we get an RSS feed please? Seems will be useful to monitor these release notes over time.

If you add a new string in your app (for example String(localized: "contact_support_message", defaultValue: "Please contact support")), then later you change that default value and rebuild, the string catalog updates to match as expected. But once that string is translated, changing the default value in code and rebuilding does not update the catalog. You seemingly have to go manually change the default value for English in the catalog to match the code (which marks the translation as Needs Review). Is there a better way? Or is there a way to determine what strings have default values in code that do not match the catalog values to see if any were missed as wording was tweaked over time?

I just submitted FB22318443. In Mac Catalyst apps running on macOS 26.4, if you choose to limit the app's access to specific photos (as opposed to granting full access), the photos do not appear in the app. 💀 This issue does not occur on iPadOS. It is a macOS 26.4 regression. It occurs even with apps built using a previous version of the SDK such as 26.2.

Apps that try to access the contents of the pasteboard cause a system prompt to appear asking the user "AppName" would like to paste from "OtherAppName" Do you want to allow this? Don't Allow Paste Allow Paste This prompt does not appear if you implement a UIPasteControl and the user taps it to signal intent to paste, but this control cannot be placed into a UIMenu. I read this could be achieved with UIAction.Identifiers like .paste or .newFromPasteboard but the prompt still appears with the following code. What's the trick? override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() title = "TestPaste" view.backgroundColor = .systemBackground let imageView = UIImageView() imageView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false imageView.contentMode = .scaleAspectFit imageView.clipsToBounds = true view.addSubview(imageView) NSLayoutConstraint.activate([ imageView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.topAnchor), imageView.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.leadingAnchor), imageView.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.trailingAnchor), imageView.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.bottomAnchor) ]) navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Add", image: UIImage(systemName: "plus"), menu: UIMenu(children: [ UIAction(identifier: .paste) { _ in imageView.image = UIPasteboard.general.image } ])) }
