iOS 27 beta 1: .scrollEdgeEffectStyle(.soft) renders fully transparent above safeAreaBar
Feedback ID: FB23086400 On iOS 27 beta 1, .scrollEdgeEffectStyle(.soft, for: .top) on a List underneath a custom .safeAreaBar(edge: .top) no longer renders the progressive fade-blur. The top edge is fully transparent — scrolled rows pass under the bar with no visual treatment at all, as if scrollEdgeEffectDisabled() had been applied. What I've verified so far: .hard renders correctly in the exact same hierarchy; only .soft is affected. The same binary works correctly on iOS 26.x Xcode preview. I'm building with Xcode 26.3 (iOS 26 SDK). Minimal reproduction: import SwiftUI struct EdgeEffectRepro: View { enum Style: String, CaseIterable, Identifiable { case automatic, soft, hard var id: Self { self } var value: ScrollEdgeEffectStyle { switch self { case .automatic: .automatic case .soft: .soft case .hard: .hard } } } @State private var style: Style = .soft @State private var useSystemBarOnly = false var body: some View { NavigationStack { List(0..<60, id: \.self) { i in Text("Row \(i)") .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, alignment: .leading) .listRowBackground( i.isMultiple(of: 2) ? Color.orange.opacity(0.45) : Color.teal.opacity(0.45) ) } .scrollIndicators(.hidden) .scrollEdgeEffectStyle(style.value, for: .top) .safeAreaBar(edge: .top) { if !useSystemBarOnly { VStack(spacing: 8) { HStack { Text("Custom Top Bar") .font(.system(size: 28, weight: .bold)) Spacer() } HStack { Text("Second row (e.g. date range picker)") .font(.caption) .foregroundStyle(.secondary) Spacer() } } .padding(.horizontal) } } .safeAreaInset(edge: .bottom) { VStack(spacing: 8) { Picker("Edge effect style", selection: $style) { ForEach(Style.allCases) { Text($0.rawValue).tag($0) } } .pickerStyle(.segmented) Toggle("System bar only (control group)", isOn: $useSystemBarOnly) .font(.caption) } .padding() .background(.regularMaterial) } .navigationTitle("EdgeEffect Repro") .navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.inline) } } } Steps: run on iOS 27 beta 1, set the picker to soft, scroll rows under the bar. Expected: fade-blur as on iOS 26. Actual: fully transparent. Switch to hard: renders fine.

Why is SystemLanguageModel.default.availability tied to user enabling talk / press side button for Siri?
On iOS 27 Beta 1, it looks like the user must enable either "Siri"/"Hey Siri" or "Press Side Button for Siri" in iOS settings for SystemLanguageModel.default.availability to report true. Otherwise, it returns .appleIntelligenceNotEnabled. Is this expected behavior? This doesn't seem very intuitive. The user might very well want to use in-app AI functionalities without wanting to talk / press side button for Siri. Also, with the new "pull down for Siri" UX these are not the only way to interact with Siri anyway.

When applied to a nested struct, @Generable macro results in infinite nested response from Foundation Model
When the @Generable is applied toward a Swift struct declared within another struct, and when said nested struct is defined as the type of one of the properties of another @Generable type, which is in turn defined as the output format of Foundation Model session, Foundation Model can stuck in a loop trying to create a infinitely nested response, until the context window limit exceeded error is triggered. I have filed feedback FB19987191 with a demo project. Is this expected behavior?

Core Data initialization causes app to deadlock on startup
Users have been reporting that the TestFlight version of my app (compiled with Xcode 26 Beta 6 17A5305f) is sometimes crashing on startup. Upon investigating their ips files, it looks like Core Data is locking up internally during its initialization, resulting in iOS killing my app. I have not recently changed my Core Data initialization logic, and it's unclear how I should proceed. Is this a known issue? Any recommended workaround? I have attached the crash stack below. Thanks! crash_log.txt

Custom view interactive glass effect clipped by view bounds when tapped
Take this piece of code for example: Menu { ... } label: { Image(systemName: "ellipsis.circle") .resizable() .foregroundStyle(Color.primary) .frame(width: 24, height: 24) .contentShape(.circle) .padding(.spacing8) .glassEffect(.regular.interactive(), in: .circle) } .tint(nil) When tapped, the interactive liquid glass effect expands in response, but the expanded glass is then clipped by the original bounds of the view. In this example, the button would briefly show up as a highlighted square due to the clipping. If I add enough padding around the Menu's label, the expanded glass effect is be able to show unclipped, but this feels like a hack. Is this a bug in the framework, or am I doing something wrong? I have submitted FB19801519 with screen recording and demo project.

Loading USDZ asset into Model3D causes visionOS 2.0 beta 5 to crash
We've recently discovered that our app crashes on startup on the latest visionOS 2.0 beta 5 (22N5297g) build. In fact, the entire field of view would dim down and visionOS would then restart, showing the Apple logo. Interestingly, no app crash is reported by Xcode during debug. After investigation, we have isolated the issue to a specific USDZ asset in our app. Loading it in a sample, blank project also causes visionOS to reliably crash, or become extremely unresponsive with rendering artifacts everywhere. This looks like a potentially serious issue. Even if the asset is problematic, loading it should not crash the entire OS. We have filed feedback FB14756285, along with a demo project. Hopefully someone can take a look. Thanks!

@Observable state class reinitializes every time view is updated
With the new @Observable macro, it looks like every time the struct of a view is reinitialized, any observable class marked as @State in the struct also gets reinitialized. Moreover, the result of the reinitialization immediately gets discarded. This is in contrast to @StateObject and ObservableObject, where the class would only be initialized at the first creation of the view. The initialization method of the class would never be called again between view updates. Is this a bug or an expected behavior? This redundant reinitialization causes performance issues when the init method of the observable class does anything slightly heavyweight. Feedback ID: FB13697724

What is a performant way to change view offset as user scrolls?
I added a background view to my SwiftUI List, and would like to move it up as user scrolls (similar to the effect of that of the Health app). I can't add it onto the background of a List row, because List unconditionally clips content to a row, and I would like the view to extend past a insetted row's bounds (scrollClipDisabled does not work on List). So I added the view as the background view of the entire List. Currently, I am achieving this by monitoring contentOffset using the new onScrollGeometryChange(for:of:action:) modifier, updating a state variable that controls the offset of the background view. The code looks something like this: struct ContentView: View { @State private var backgroundOffset: CGFloat = 0 var body: some View { List { ... } .background { backgroundView .offset(y: backgroundOffset) } .onScrollGeometryChange(for: ScrollGeometry.self) { geometry in geometry } action: { oldValue, newValue in let contentOffsetY = newValue.contentOffset.y let contentInsetY = newValue.contentInsets.top if contentOffsetY <= -contentInsetY { backgroundOffset = 0 } else { backgroundOffset = -(contentOffsetY + contentInsetY) } } } } However, this results in bad scrolling performance. I am guessing this is due to backgroundOffset being updated too frequently, and thus refreshing the views too often? If so, what is a more performant approach to achieve the desired effect? Thanks!

Overlaying SwiftUI content with transparency in front of RealityView
Following up on my previous question here: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/774262 Having solved the clipping problem, I am now trying to overlay some content in front of the RealityView. However, it looks like any content with transparency does not render in front of the RealityView, while opaque views seem to work; placing content with transparency like glassBackgroundEffect() behind the RealityView in a ZStack causes the entire window to flicker. Additionally, my SwiftUI attachment placed in front of the stereoscopic image plane are invisible if the user look at it straight at 90 degrees. However, if the user look at it from increasing angles from the sides, the attachment gradually turns visible again. Are these behaviors expected? What is a recommended approach to overlay content in front of a RealityView? Thanks!

Setting clip shape of a RealityView
I am following this example to create a stereoscopic image: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/visionos/creating-stereoscopic-image-in-visionos I would also like to add corner radius to the stereoscopic RealityView. With ordinary SwiftUI views, we typically just use .clipShape(RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 32)): struct StereoImage: View { var body: some View { let spacing: CGFloat = 10.0 let padding: CGFloat = 40.0 VStack(spacing: spacing) { Text("Stereoscopic Image Example") .font(.largeTitle) RealityView { content in let creator = StereoImageCreator() guard let entity = await creator.createImageEntity() else { print("Failed to create the stereoscopic image entity.") return } content.add(entity) } .frame(depth: .zero) } .padding(padding) .clipShape(RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 32)) // <= HERE! } } This doesn't seem to actually clip the RealityView shown in the sample above. I am guessing this is due to the fact that the box in the RealityView has a non-zero z scale, which means it isn't on the same "layer" as its SwiftUI containers, and thus isn't clipped by the modifiers apply to the containers. How can I properly apply a clipshape to RealityViews like this? Thanks!

dismissWindow() doesn't dismantle View
We have discovered that our UIViewRepresentable view isn't being dismantled after its window is dismissed via dismissWindow(). This seems to result in a leak of our custom Coordinator class. Every time the user opens a new window, a new Coordinator is created; if the user then dismisses the window manually, or we dismiss it programmatically, the Coordinator remains in memory with no way to destroy it. Is this expected behavior? How can we be sure to clean up our Coordinator when the view's window is closed? Thanks.

Is dismissWindow actually asynchronous?
On visionOS, I have discovered that if dismissWindow is followed immediately by a call to openWindow, the new window does not open where the user is looking at. Instead, it appears at the same location as the dismissed window. However, if I open the new window after a small delay, or after UIScene's willDeactivateNotification, the new window correctly opens in front of the user. (I tested this within a opened immersive space.) Does this imply that dismissWindow is actually asynchronous, in the sense that it requires extra time to reset certain internal states before the next openWindow can be called? What is the best practice to close a window, then open a new window in front of the user's current head position?

[NetworkComponent] Cannot find component's entity (guid=***, typeID=***, type=CustomComponentRCPInputTargetComponent, entity=xxxx).
Hi. I recently added SwiftUI context menus and picker menus to my app, but when they are activated they flicker rapidly, and it is impossible to select anything (there is no hover effect either). When these menus are activated, the console prints lots of warning messages similar to this: [NetworkComponent] Cannot find component's entity (guid=14395713952467043328, typeID=295756909031380028, type=CustomComponentRCPInputTargetComponent, entity=0x1047c6750). This issue doesn't seem to happen on visionOS 1.2 simulator, but is reliably reproducible on visionOS 2.0 simulator and device. Any idea what this might be related to? I am attempting to narrow down on the issue but it's challenging to do so without knowing what the error is about. Thanks!

Is there a way to change the tint color of a TabView without affecting its subviews?
I am trying to change the highlight color of the tabs in SwiftUI, but when I applied .tint() to the TabView (which is the root view of my app), the entire app seems to be affected. What's more, the views under each seems to randomly switch between the default blue tint and the custom tint I configured. Is there a way to only change the tab bar's tint color? Thanks!

toolbarForegroundStyle(_:for:) modifier not found in Xcode
Following up on my previous post about how to change the foreground tint color of tab bars in SwiftUI: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/760008 I have subsequently discovered the toolbarForegroundStyle(_:for:) modifier, documented here. However, when I tried to use it in Xcode, it doesn't seem to be publicly declared, even though it should have been available since iOS 16 according to the doc. Was this a mistake? I have filed feedback FB14553959.
