Reply to UIApplication.canOpenURL not working without Safari
Reproducing the issue is easy. Just copy the code from the initial description in a project and launch it on any iOS 26.2+ device after deleting Safari from it. It is not possible to delete Safari from any simulator. I think this issue has nothing to do with my app universal links. I don't know what disabling the link and checking swctutils file means...

Hi Albert, Thank you for the reply. I don't think the issue is related to universal links, as I am not trying to redirect to my app/any app specifically. I am trying to open an URL from my app, which should redirect the user to any browser that is installed on the user's device. This is what I would expect UIApplication.shared.open("https://www.apple.com") to do. I added a hotfix, by prefixing the URL with known browsers' universal links, but that is not really scalable and it won't cover all browsers. Example: UIApplication.shared.open("knownAppScheme://www.apple.com") The Notes app opens https://www.apple.com successfully in any other browser even if Safari is not installed on a device using iOS 26.0+.

We are not registering any Universal Links. We need to get out of the app and open an URL in any available browser, not come back to our app. I hope this makes sense? :D Thank you!

... and yes apparently you can completely delete Safari from iOS 26.0. Is this a bug as well, I don't know. What I know is that some of my users are blocked in my app because of this.

Reply to Scanning QR code with AVCaptureDevice issues on iPhone 14 Pro
Hello, Have you found a fix for this issue? Apple does not seem to respond to this problem. I have also tried to switch to builtInTripleCamera and builtInDualCamera, but no luck. Thank you!

Reply to VNImageRequestHandler perform 'unspecified error' on M1 MacBook Pro
I have the same error in xCode 13.1 while trying to run Vision in UnitTests. Did you find any solution meanwhile?
