Hello Frameworks Engineer . Is there an update on this?

I have a workaround for this bug that seems to work. Sharing it in hopes of helping others... So it seems this bad behavior occurs (in my case anyway) when you wrap a NavigationView with other custom UI. In my case I had a custom tab bar view which wrapped a NavigationView. Sometimes the content inside the NavigationView would become completely unresponsive to user interaction but the custom tab bar would remain functional. Now for the workaround: I found that if I set the custom tab bar view to disabled(true) then focus would be forced to change back to the NavigationView. So a workaround would be to temporarily disable all of the custom UI surrounding the NavigationView then re-enable it. You'd have to get creative with making this work reliably--something like a periodic async timer that enables/disables stuff. I'm still figuring out the best solution for my app. Just thought I'd share.

@shaharbd Thanks for excellent reply! You've given me much to look into here! I appreciate it.

I just figured it out. You must declare the parameter as coreimage::group::destination dest

This seems to be fixed in the iOS 17 beta

The memory leak that I was seeing seems to be fixed in iOS 17 but it still has performance issues. For example, it doesn't stop speaking immediately when you call stop(.immediate)

I figured it out. I just found this: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appintents/audioplaybackintent

Also cannot figure this out. This feature is not useful for my apps without Catalyst support

This bug still exists in iOS 18.4.1

This bug was temporarily fixed but was re-introduced and still exists in iOS 18.2. I've created another Feedback item (FB17642167) because my previous one was closed.
