Is there a way to know if a WkWebView is using scribble?
I have a WkWebView that I use to run a text editor. It works fine with scribble, and I can enter text with the stylus. However, I would like to disable scrolling with the stylus while scribble is enabled (otherwise, the view moves around when the user writes). But I'd like to keep the scrolling ability if the user is not using scribble. Hence the question: is there a way to know when scribble has been enabled, or if it's been enabled for this specific WkWebView? It's actually a webView, using SwiftUI; I don't know if it changes something.

ExtensionFoundation on iOS 26
Hi, I'm trying to add an extension to my app on iOS 26. I've followed the instructions on https://developer.apple.com/documentation/extensionfoundation/adding-support-for-app-extensions-to-your-app and made it as far as being able to launch the extension: let monitor = try await AppExtensionPoint.Monitor(appExtensionPoint: .localWebServerExtension) currentIdentity = monitor.identities.first if let currentIdentity = currentIdentity { let myConfig = AppExtensionProcess.Configuration(appExtensionIdentity: currentIdentity, onInterruption: { NSLog("extension was terminated") }) myProcess = try await AppExtensionProcess(configuration: myConfig) myConnection = try myProcess?.makeXPCConnection() } None of these calls throw, and when I examine myProcess from inside that code, it seems to be normal (there's a pid, for example). Yet the code inside my extension seems to not be executed: breakpoints are not triggered, NSLog() calls do not appear on the console. The onInterruption() callback is also not triggered, or at least it does not appear on the console either. I've probably missed something obvious, but what could it be?

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...)

Shortcut action that should return a file deletes the file instead
I have an app intent that returns a file from inside the Sandbox. With iOS 18 RC, the call to INFile results in the file being deleted, instead of the file being returned. intentResponse.file = INFile(fileURL: fileURL, filename: fileName, typeIdentifier: nil) This seems to happen if the file was created by an earlier Shortcut action that calls FileManager().copyItem(), but not for files created by other means. I haven't found a reference in the developer documentation about INFile resulting in the file being deleted. I can block FileManager() from deleting the file by setting its immutable attributes to true, but that prevents me from removing it later.

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 can I debug issues with Stage Manager and External Displays
Hello, I am getting reports from some users that one of my apps is behaving weirdly when: Stage Manager is enabled with an external display connected (presumably with app windows on the external display). I would like to debug this issue. However, I do not have an iPad compatible with Stage Manager. On the Simulator in Xcode, I can run an iPad with Stage Manager (good) and pretend to connect an external display (good), but I cannot move windows to the external display, so I cannot reproduce the issue. What can I do? (the app uses SwiftUI and UIScene. It does work with multiple windows on standard iPads, it does work with StageManager on the iPad simulator).
