I tried different device models, and some could trigger the task normally, such as the 15 Pro Max and 12 Pro Max. However, there were also some models, such as the 17 Pro, 15 Pro, and 15, that could not trigger the task properly. Moreover, there was no additional error information to help locate the issue. I assume you're doing this on device and not the simulator, right? And did you check the Console logs to see if an error was reported there? (look for the dasd process) I also just wanted to reiterate your other points about the BGContinuedProcessingTask API, in case someone from Apple is listening: I agree that the experience on non-Dynamic Island devices is not great. The task notification banner thing is a obtrusive and redundant. My app already displays a progress bar, so displaying another progress indicator is redundant. Moreover, the banner obscures my app's UI and does not disappear automatically like normal notifications. This leaves the user uncertain if they can safely dismiss it, or if dismissing it will cancel the task. The banner is important to make the user aware that a background task is running, but it should only appear if/when the user backgrounds the app – that's when it becomes relevant. Likewise, I've also noticed that the banner text is sometimes the wrong color – sometimes black text in dark mode, or white text in light mode. But I haven't been able to reproduce it consistently. I totally agree that the API is missing a distinction between (1) the user has stopped the task and (2) the system wants to stop the task. In the case of (1), I want to completely cancel the task. In the case of (2), I want to put the task into a paused state until the user is ready to resume it. Ideally, the UI should inform the user that the task has been paused.

I'm experiencing the same issue – did you find a workaround?

Based on the response from the engineer over on this post, I looked at the Console logs for the dasd process and found this: Task has not reported progress within expected cadence, marking stalled (time without update: -36.27811694145203) Does -36 mean 36 seconds since the last update? That seems plausible given my situation. What cadence do I need to hit to satisfy the system? Not sure what to do now. This limitation seems to make BGContinuedProcessingTask unsuitable for my use case, since the size of the downloaded files can vary, as can the speed of the user's connection. I could try to feed in fake progress updates to keep the task alive. Or I could try to monitor the byte count of downloading files and use that as the basis for progress updates (however, my previous experience trying to pass the byte count from URLSessionDelegate through an async stream was a nightmare). In any case, it would still be useful if someone from engineering could respond to my above queries, so that I can better understand if there might be other issues to contend with (not just the progress cadence).

Just confirming that this is still not working correctly for me as of beta 2 of iOS 26.1.

This appears to be fixed in beta 2 of iOS 26.1. For reference, I set NSAlarmKitUsageDescription in my InfoPlist.xcstrings and verified that the localized usage description was displayed in the authorization dialog.

It turns out the situation is worse than I thought: it's not the OS update that triggers the bug, but merely restarting the device! If I schedule an alarm with the above code and then restart my device, the alarm triggers at the correct time, but the UI shows the localization keys instead of the strings. I just installed the iOS 26.1 beta (23B5044I) and it's still broken, so I've filed a bug report: FB20472264 As a temporary workaround, I will set my localization keys to English language strings.

Yes, the bug is present with or without UIDesignRequiresCompatibility=TRUE. In fact, the bug is even present in apps compiled with Xcode 16 but running on iOS 26 devices. So, presumably the bug is low level – lower than the iOS 18 compatibility layer. A lot of apps must be hitting this issue!

For me, custom sounds do seem to be working but they do not loop, which effectively makes them useless as an alarm. For now, I've disabled the custom sound feature in my app and I just set the sound to .default. I plan to enable the feature if/when Apple fixes it.

I filed a bug report (FB20465338) but I also want to note some more details here in case this is useful to someone: When navigating back/forward in a WebView or WKWebView, the page suddenly jumps up. The reason appears to be that WebKit automatically adds some padding to the top of the webpage to account for the unsafe nav bar area, but it then forgets to account for this padding when navigating back/forward. The effect is especially pronounced if you swipe back/forward. When swiping you see a static preview of the incoming page, but when you release the swipe, the page suddenly jumps up. As far as I can tell, this has always been an issue, but before iOS 26 it wasn't really a problem because the WebView would usually be flush against a solid nav bar. However, in iOS 26, this bug is problematic because Apple is asking us to flow the web content behind the nav bar; indeed, this is the default behavior of a WebView. There's effectively no good solution in iOS 26 because you basically have two choices: Adopt the default behavior with the content flowing behind the nav bar; but then you get a janky back/forward experience. Set .ignoresSafeArea(.all, edges: .bottom) so that the content does not flow behind the top nav bar, but then the nav bar is plain white/black and it looks bad for the content to just disappear abruptly without some kind of border or fade effect. This can't simply be solved by making the nav bar a different color because then you get into issues with the glass buttons and the floating iPad sidebar. Would love to hear if someone figured out a workaround, even if it's just some styling to make Option 2 less bad.

Yes, I'm having the same problem (with a wrapped WKWebView, but presumably also the new WebView). The jumping-on-back-button issue was also a problem before iOS 26, but you could work around it by using .ignoresSafeArea(.all, edges: .bottom) However, now in iOS 26, Apple wants the content to flow behind the toolbar, meaning the above fix is no longer suitable. Did you manage to find a workaround?

Did anyone manage to solve this issue? Exactly as @jkmazur says: the title text is being rendered under the background color, and it's still broken in beta 9! Here's a minimal example: struct ContentView: View { @State private var path = NavigationPath() var body: some View { NavigationStack(path: $path) { List { Text("Item 1") Text("Item 2") Text("Item 3") } .navigationTitle("Title") .toolbarBackground(Color(red: 0.5, green: 0.5, blue: 0.5), for: .navigationBar) .toolbarBackgroundVisibility(.visible, for: .navigationBar) } } } Expected result: Title is rendered above the gray background. Actual result: Title is rendered below the gray background.

Can you show us your SchemaV1 and SchemaV2, and explain what you're trying to do? It looks to me like you're trying to manually create a SchemaV2.Month and a SchemaV2.Transaction in the willMigrate, which is probably not what you want.
