When tapping a UIButton I present a view controller like this: let vc = ViewController() present(vc, animated: true, completion: nil) Inside, I set a clear background with a visual effect view with a blur effect, like this: view.backgroundColor = .clear blurEffectView = UIVisualEffectView(effect: UIBlurEffect(style: .regular)) //autolayout constraints for the blurEffectView view.addSubview(blurEffectView) But the background remains full white in iOS 26. How can I bring the blur+transparency back like in iOS 18? What am I doing wrong?

I'm presenting a view controller inside a UIAction handler from the new UIButton init configuration API. But when I do it, its deinit won't get called. I'm thinking there's some sort of retain cycle? I've tried capturing [weak self] inside the closure with no success. Using the addTarget method instead, the deinit gets called as expected. What am I doing wrong? let testVC = TestViewController() lazy var testButton: UIButton = { var configuration = UIButton.Configuration.filled() //button.addTarget(self, action: #selector(buttonTapped), for: .touchUpInside) let button = UIButton(configuration: configuration, primaryAction: UIAction(handler: { action in self.present(testVC, animated: true, completion: nil) })) return button }()

I have an iOS app with a companion watchOS app. On the main app I set up an auto renewing subscription. By purchasing it you unlock the Apple Watch app. If you are not subscribed, a paywall view is shown in the watch app. If you are, you get to see the whole app. The thing is when a user completes the purchase on the main app, the watchOS view won't update. The Watch Connectivity framework is set up just fine and I get to communicate successfully to/from both devices. But to reflect the new state change, from the purchase made on the phone, I need to close the watch app and open it again. In doing so, the home page opens up and the users will finally get to navigate the app. Is there a way so that upon receiving the message from the Connectivity framework, I get to refresh/reload the view so that the user doesn't have to close the app and open it again? The pseudocode would be: I receive the object from the main app I check that the user has successfully purchased the subscription I reload the app/reload the view so that the user after tapping the app on the watch gets to see the home page with no extra steps. Thank you!

I was experimenting with NSSpellChecker on a macOS app with Swift and I noticed that when there are no spelling mistakes it returns an out of bounds range, specifically one with a lowerBound equals to the max value of a 64-bit signed integer. Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug on Apple's part? let sentence = "What a beautiful world." let range = NSSpellChecker.shared.checkSpelling(of: sentence, startingAt: 0) // "What a beautiful world." range: {9223372036854775807, 0} // "What a beautiful worldk." range: {17, 6}

Hi! Does anybody know why on retrieving the listeners and play counts using the new Music Analytics API you get rounded numbers to the nearest 50? Why aren't they more precise? It's my data after all. Thank you!
