UIDocumentPickerViewController freezes the second time it's called on iOS and iPadOS 26.1 betas 3 and 4
Hello, this is very weird. I have an app where I use UIDocumentPickerViewController(forOpeningContentTypes: [.folder]) to let the users access to directories that are in the sandbox of other apps. It's been working since iOS 13. On the beta versions of iOS and iPadOS 26.1 (betas 3 and 4), the second time the UIDocumentPickerViewController is presented, it becomes unresponsive, with a spinning wheel in the top right corner where the "Open" button should be. I have absolutely no clue what the issue could be. It doesn't seem to be a widespread issue, but I have also no idea on how to find the origin and fix it. As far as I can tell from the debugger, this line is executed: DispatchQueue.main.async { rootVC?.present(self.documentPicker, animated: true, completion: nil) } and then nothing else happens.

.hidden not working when making UIBarButtonItem visibles on iOS 26
Hi, I have a UIToolbar at the bottom of my screen. The UIToolbar is made of UIBarButtonItems. At some point, I change the status of some buttons to hidden: button.isHidden = true This works: the buttons become invisible. At a later point in the process, I turn the buttons visible again: button.isHidden = false This did work on iOS 18, and does not work with the iOS 26 SDK: the buttons remain hidden, even though the property has been set to false. Am I doing it wrong? Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Unable to upload an app with ExtensionFoundation
I have an iOS app with ExtensionFoundation. It runs well on my local device, but when I upload on the AppStore it gets rejected with: Validation failed Invalid Info.plist value. The value of the EXExtensionPointIdentifier key, AsheKube.app.a-Shell.localWebServer, in the Info.plist of “a-Shell.app/Extensions/localWebServer.appex” is invalid. Please refer to the App Extension Programming Guide at https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/General/Conceptual/ExtensibilityPG/Action.html#/apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40014214-CH13-SW1. (ID: ae8dd1dd-8caf-4a48-9651-7a225faed4eb) The Info.plist in my Extension is: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>EXAppExtensionAttributes</key> <dict> <key>EXExtensionPointIdentifier</key> <string>com.example.example-extension</string> </dict> </dict> </plist> so the Info.plist that causes the issue has been automatically generated by Xcode. I can access it as well, and it says: { "BuildMachineOSBuild" => "25A354" "CFBundleDevelopmentRegion" => "en" "CFBundleDisplayName" => "localWebServerExtension" "CFBundleExecutable" => "localWebServer" "CFBundleIdentifier" => "AsheKube.app.a-Shell.localWebServerExtension" "CFBundleInfoDictionaryVersion" => "6.0" "CFBundleName" => "localWebServer" "CFBundlePackageType" => "XPC!"

How to work with the "Tiếng Việt Telex" keyboard?
I have an iOS application that derives on UITextInput to enter text. I have also overridden pressesBegan() and pressesEnded() in order to have some extra keyboard management (auto-repeat, special actions for arrow keys, function keys...) That works well for single-character languages (most roman languages, such as English, French, etc). For multi-character languages (Chinese, Japanses, Korean, Hindi), I can detect that the keyboard has been set to that language, and switch back to the default version of pressesBegan(): if let keyboardLanguage = self.textInputMode?.primaryLanguage { if (keyboardLanguage.hasPrefix("hi") || keyboardLanguage.hasPrefix("zh") || keyboardLanguage.hasPrefix("ja") || keyboardLanguage.hasPrefix("ko")) { super.pressesBegan(presses, with: event) } } But that strategy fails with the Tiếng Việt Telex keyboard (for Vietnamese language input). The way that keyboard works (as you can see if you open a document in Pages) is that you type as you go: T-i-e-n-g V-i-e-t T-e-l-e-x and the system adds the relevant diacritics once you've finished a word, so typing "Tieng Viet Telex" gives you "Tiếng Việt Telex" on the screen. Is there any documentation on the inner workings of this specific keyboard? What should I do (or not do) in order to make my application compatible with Tiếng Việt Telex?

Issues with diacritics in filename on iOS when the system main language is not English
Hi, I'm encountering a weird issue on iOS that happens: for files with diacritics in their name, like "Gòmez.pdf" or "Télé.mp4", when the iPhone or iPad main language is not set to English, if the file has been created with a relatively low-level Unix function like fopen() or copyfile(). Then, the file cannot be previsualized using QuickLook or opened using other apps. Most of the time it fails silently, but on some occasions I get the following error message: "You do not have permission to save the file "filename.pdf" in the folder "myFolder"". The issue is present in, at least, iOS 16 and 26. It seems worse in iOS 26. It seems that all three conditions are required, I don't see the issue when the iPhone or iPad is set to use English as the main language. I also don't see the issue if I rename the files in the Files app. I'm probably doing something wrong, but what can it be? (it's kind of weird that my recommendation for users becomes: if you want to use international characters in your file names, you need to set the iPad language to English...)
