I just spend the morning debugging LocationButton and the associated CLLocationManagerDelegate only to realise that it works perfectly in iOS 18.5 but no longer works for me in iOS 26.0, 26.2 or 26.2.1 (the latter on-device). It does work when I run my app on macOS 26.2 (Designed for iPad). Is there a change in behaviour or requirements on iOS I am missing? On iOS 18.5 I observe that the authorisation status changes from .notDetermined to .authorizedWhenInUse after the LocationButton has been tapped and my delegate is able to obtain the location through locationManager(_ , didUpdateLocations:). On iOS 26.x the authorisation status remains .notDetermined and my delegate receives locationManager(_:didFailWithError:) with error code .denied. Setting NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription in my Info.plistdid not help. Just in case ;) FB21798098 (SwiftUI LocationButton fails to acquire authorization on iOS 26)

Hi! I was able to successfully persist my debug log entires using the OSLogPreferences key in my Info.plist and retrieve the logs from my iPhone using log collect. This worked to get log messages created when my app executed a background task tonight (2026-01-20 00:20). But log Debug and Default log messages from a normal run yesterday (2026-01-19 15:34) disappeared. I can query for the missing messages in the log archive I created yesterday but they are missing in the log archive I created today covering also yesterday. I had invoked: % sudo log collect --device-name "<my device name>" --last 25h --output /tmp/system_logs.logarchive ... %sudo log show /tmp/system_logs.logarchive --debug --info --predicate 'subsystem=="com.example.MyApp"' Is this expected and/or is there anything I could do to persist the logs for a longer period? For reference, that's what I have added to my Info.plist for the debug build configuration so far: <key>OSLogPreferences</key> <dict> <key>com.example.MyApp</key> <dict> <key>DEFAULT-OPTIONS</key> <dict> <key>Level</key> <dict> <key>Enable</key> <string>Debug</string> <key>Persist</key> <string>Debug</string> </dict> <key>Enable-Private-Data</key> <true/> </dict> </dict> </dict>

The Send to Device in Reality Composer Pro no longer works for me. The progress spinner keeps spinning... Happens with Wifi and Developer Strap (first gen). Any known workarounds / ways to recover?

After adding TextComponents to my Entities on visionOS, I have observed that visualBounds will ignore the TextComponents. Documentation states that it should render a rounded rectangle mesh. These mashes are visible on the device, but not visible in the debugger ("Capture Entity Hierarchy") and ignored by visualBounds. Am I missing something? static func makeDirection(_ direction: Direction) -> Entity { let text = Entity() text.name = direction.rawValue text.setScale(SIMD3(repeating: 5), relativeTo: nil) text.transform.rotation = direction.rotation text.components.set(direction.textComponent) return text } My workaround is to add a disabled ModelEntity and take its bounds 😬

Hi! So while Date is supported for @Parameter in an App Intent, I just discovered that Xcode will not let me use use it in a parametrized App Shortcut phrase. In my case, I would like to give the option to say "today", tomorrow", or "day after tomorrow" for the date. Am I missing something? Any hints on the best way to approach this?

After creating a new weekly subscription option, I get inconsistent results for subscriptionPeriod. In local testing with a synced or a un-synced StoreKit file I am getting unit == .week (as expected) whereas in TestFlight I am getting unit == .day. This makes unit.localizedDescriptionsomewhat unusable in the paywall. Am I missing something? Or is this bug or a limitation of StoreKit and/or TestFlight and/or newly created subscription options? Affected code (in a custom SubscriptionStoreControlStyle): private func priceDisplay(for pickerOption: Configuration.PickerOption) -> String { var result = "" if pickerOption.introductoryOffer != nil { result += NSLocalizedString("then", comment: "") + " " } result += pickerOption.displayPrice if let unit = pickerOption.subscriptionPeriod?.unit { result += " / " + unit.localizedDescription } return result } private func percentageSaved(for pickerOption: Configuration.PickerOption, allOptions: [Product]) -> Int? { guard let subscriptionPeriod = pickerOption.subscriptionPeriod, subscriptionPeriod != .weekly else { return nil } let weeklyOption = allOptions.first { otherOption in otherOption.subscription?.subscriptionPeriod == .weekly } guard let weeklyOption, weeklyOption.price > 0 else { return nil } let percentageSaved = 100 - (pickerOption.price / (weeklyOption.price * 52)) * 100 return Int((percentageSaved as NSNumber).doubleValue) }

Is anybody able to save the autocreated testplan successfully with Xcode 16.3? I get a crash no matter what (different filenames, locations, machines, ...). Now created a template project: same thing. Xcode Version 16.3 (16E140) on macOS 15.5 (24F74) Known issue, or am I holding it wrong?

Without developer mode, I was able to get Password AutoFill to work in my SwiftUI app with my local Vapor server using ngrok and adding the Associated Domains capability with the value webcredentials:....ngrok-free.app and the respective apple-app-site-association file on my local server in /.well-known/. (works on device, but not in the simulator). However, if I use the developer mode (webcredentials:....ngrok-free.app?mode=developer) it only works halfway when running from Xcode: I get asked to save the password, but the saved passwords are not picked up, when I try to login again. Neither on device, nor in the simulator. If I remove the ?mode=developer it seems to work as expected. Is this by design, or am I missing something? var body: some View { ... Section(header: Text("Email")) { TextField("Email", text: $viewModel.credentials.username) .textContentType(.username) .autocapitalization(.none) .keyboardType(.emailAddress) } Section(header: Text("Passwort")) { SecureField("Passwort", text: $viewModel.credentials.password) .textContentType(.password) } ... }

Hi! In neither Xcode 16.2 beta 3 nor Xcode 16.2 I am able to get App Shortcuts Preview to recognise my Shortcuts. In either supported language I always get "No Matching Intent" as the result. Flexible matching is enabled, minimum deployment target is iOS 18. The Shortcut phrases do work in the simulator and on device. Is this a known issue or am I missing something?

Hi! Trying to move some code into a local package - with Xcode 16 I am unable to move my code to the new package as drag and drop will always result in a copy. This contradicts the demo in the original intro session at WWDC19, and also the current documentation.. Of course I can delete the original files but this feels somewhat wrong... Am I missing something? Did the behaviour of moving files in the Project navigator change in the recent Xcode releases?

Hi! SiriTipView(intent:) shows the first phrase for my App Shortcut, but unlike ShortcutsLink(), does not use the localized applicationName. Hence the phrase shown does not work 😬 Is this a known limitation, any workarounds?

Hi! When my device is set to English, both search and the Shortcuts up automatically show multiple shortcuts parametrised for each value of the AppEnum - which is what I expected. When my device is set to German, I get only the basic AppShortcut without the (optional) parameter. I am using an AppEnum (see below) for the parametrised phrases and localise the phrases into German with an AppShortcuts String Catalog added to my project. Everything else seems to work, I can use my AppShortcut in the Shortcuts app and invoke it via Siri in both English and German. The Shortcuts app displays the values correctly using the localized strings. Any ideas? import AppIntents class ApolloShortcuts: AppShortcutsProvider { static var appShortcuts: [AppShortcut] { AppShortcut( intent: GetIntent(), phrases: [ "Get data from \(.applicationName)", "Get data from \(.applicationName) for \(\.$day)", "Get data from \(.applicationName) for the \(\.$day)" ], shortTitle: "Get Data", systemImageName: "wand.and.sparkles") } } enum ForecastDays: String, AppEnum { static var typeDisplayRepresentation: TypeDisplayRepresentation = "Day" static var caseDisplayRepresentations: [Self : DisplayRepresentation] = [ .today: DisplayRepresentation(title: LocalizedStringResource("today", table: "Days")), .tomorrow: DisplayRepresentation(title: LocalizedStringResource("tomorrow", table: "Days")), .dayAfterTomorrow: DisplayRepresentation(title: LocalizedStringResource("dayAfterTomorrow", table: "Days")) ] case today case tomorrow case dayAfterTomorrow var displayName: String { String(localized: .init(rawValue), table: "Days") } }

Hi! I have some unit tests which send and receive local notifications. Unfortunately, when ran on Xcode Cloud, the tests time out. I assume due to a call to requestAuthorization in init() (I have started using Swift Testing). Is there a way to get around this issue in order to run the tests?

While I am able to use #Preview to preview a Widget, it seems to be not possible to easily preview a Widget placeholder. With a "classic" preview I can use .redacted(reason: .placeholder), but this has limitation e.g. it will ignore .contentMarginsDisabled() struct MyWidget_Previews: PreviewProvider { static var previews: some View { Group { MyWidgetView(entry: SimpleEntry(date: .now, emoji: "😀")) MyWidgetView(entry: SimpleEntry(date: .now, emoji: "😀")) .redacted(reason: .placeholder) } .previewContext(WidgetPreviewContext(family: .systemMedium)) .containerBackground(.white, for: .widget) } } If I use #Preview, the .redacted modifier won't work, and I seem to have to put it in the MyWidget implementation. #Preview(as: .systemMedium) { MyWidget() } timeline: { SimpleEntry(date: .now, emoji: "😀") SimpleEntry(date: .now, emoji: "🤩") } Am I missing something?

While working with the Emoji Rangers Sample Code, I noticed that .redacted(reason:) seems to ignore the minimumScaleFactor() modifier - I have reproduced this behaviour with Xcode 16 and Xcode 16.1 beta 2 on iOS and on the Mac: struct ContentView: View { @State private var isRedacted: Bool = false var body: some View { VStack { Image(systemName: "globe") .imageScale(.large) .foregroundStyle(.tint) Text("Hello, world!") .font(.largeTitle) Toggle("Redacted", isOn: $isRedacted) } .padding() .minimumScaleFactor(0.1) .redacted(reason: isRedacted ? .placeholder : .invalidated) } } As long as the minimumScaleFactor does not kick in, redacted seems to work as expected: But then it does not: I tried changing the order of both modifiers with no effect. Wonder if this is expected and there is a way to make it work so it preserves the scaled down layout or a bug? Filed just in case: FB15270541 (.redacted(reason:) modifier ignores .minimumScaleFactor)
