I’d like Swift Charts to support pinch-to-zoom, with the data beneath the pinch staying in place and smooth integration with scrolling and selection. This is useful whenever someone wants to explore a chart: zoom into a heart-rate spike, inspect a price change, or investigate a burst of energy consumption without losing their place. Apple Health uses preset time ranges to change the level of detail. Those are useful shortcuts, but they don’t always match the interval someone wants to explore. Pinching would complement them by letting users zoom directly into whatever catches their attention—a familiar interaction from maps and photos that feels natural for charts too. I’ve implemented a workaround using MagnifyGesture, chartXVisibleDomain, and chartScrollPosition. It mostly works, but keeping the pinch anchored requires continuously adjusting the scroll position, which causes chart jumps and visual glitches—even with animations disabled. Native support should handle that coordination, let developers configure zoom limits, and work alongside existing chart gestures. Developers could then offer smooth, interactive charts without each having to solve the same gesture and anchoring problems. I’ve attached a sample project demonstrating the workaround and its limitations. Would native pinch-to-zoom help your app too? I’d be interested in your use cases and any limitations you’ve encountered. I’ve filed this as FB24785962; if you submit related feedback, please reference it and describe your own use case.

Hi, I am developing a Screen Time App and I am having issues with the ShieldConfigurationExtension (ShieldConfigurationDataSource). I know this extensions is sandboxed but I should be able to read data from the main app. I am using SwiftData as my database, but I am unable to initialize it in the extensions with an error indicating insufficient file permissions. I have App Group set up and I am able to share data using UserDefaults but that is just inconvenient. Is there any way I could just open the SwiftData in read only mode so that I could display the user some info on the shield? SwiftData Init: private func setupContainer() throws { let schema = Schema([ DogEntity.self, HouseEntity.self ]) // Use app group container if available let config: ModelConfiguration if let containerURL = FileManager.default.containerURL( forSecurityApplicationGroupIdentifier: "group.\(Bundle.app.bundleIdentifier ?? "")" ) { config = ModelConfiguration(schema: schema, url: containerURL.appendingPathComponent("default.sqlite")) } else { config = ModelConfiguration(schema: schema) } self.container = try ModelContainer(for: schema, configurations: [config]) } Error in extension: fault: Attempt to add read-only file at path file:///private/var/mobile/Containers/Shared/AppGroup/51431199-5919-4AE6-940C-6FE3C53EEB46/default.sqlite read/write. Adding it read-only instead. This will be a hard error in the future; you must specify the NSReadOnlyPersistentStoreOption. error: (3) access permission denied error: Encountered exception error during prepareSQL for SQL string 'SELECT TBL_NAME FROM SQLITE_MASTER WHERE TBL_NAME = 'Z_METADATA'' : access permission denied with userInfo { NSFilePath = "/private/var/mobile/Containers/Shared/AppGroup/51431199-5919-4AE6-940C-6FE3C53EEB46/default.sqlite"; NSSQLiteErrorDomain = 3; } while checking table name from store: <NSSQLiteConnection: 0x154100300> error: Store failed to load. <NSPersistentStoreDescription: 0x15402d590> (type: SQLite, url: file:///private/var/mobile/Containers/Shared/AppGroup/51431199-5919-4AE6-940C-6FE3C53EEB46/default.sqlite) with error = Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=256 "The file “default.sqlite” couldn’t be opened."

Hi, we are facing issues with the FamilyActivityPicker. I have 2 devices in the same family, one successfully authorised as child device using AuthorizationCenter.shared.requestAuthorization(for: .child), the other one is used as parent device. When I invoke FamilyActivityPicker on the children's device it works as expected but when invoked on the parent's device it only shows list of categories but not a single app. This behavior doesn't occur every time, on some devices it sometime works as it should. It's very odd and I can't find any reason why it is happening. I would appreciate any tips. Tested on app built with Xcode 15.3 an run on iOS 17.4.1 and iOS 16.7.2
