Every once in a while I find myself in need of a modal activity indicator that completely blocks the app (except for the activity indicator itself being tappable and therefore acting as a cancel button). I have always implemented my own view for that. The screenshot is showing my current implementation in SwiftUI. My question: why isn't there a standard iOS provided view for that scenario? Is there a best practice to that? Or am I missing something? Isn't it a common scenario having to block the app until an operation is completed like in the registration view of the attached screenshot, where the user has to wait for the network operation to finish?

When I call requestWhenInUseAuthorization in state kCLAuthorizationStatusNotDetermined on iOS 18 Beta 4 in the simulator, all my apps just terminate without any error message in the Xcode console (black screen with an activity indicator for a second or two and then it goes back to the springboard). I do have the NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription set in my Info.plist file. When running the exact same apps in Xcode 16.0 beta 4 (16A5211f) but with a iOS 17 simulator attached, it is working as expected by showing the location authorization dialog. Is this a known issue or am I missing something?

Xcode 16.0 beta 4 (16A5211f) iOS 18.0 beta 4 In SwiftUI, I have a TabView and a NavigationStack that contains a List in one of the tabs. In iOS 18 beta 4 simulator the following happens: when I first click on a different tab in the TabView and the back to the original tab and then click on a list item, navigationDestination is triggered twice. In the simulator, the destination detail view is pushed twice on the stack. This does not happen when running the same app with the same Xcode version but in iOS 17.0 simulator. It this a known bug or could it be some problem in my code? Unfortunately it's a bit difficult to exctract a simple example demonstrating the issue as this is a complex project.

The screenshot is showing the same app deployed using Xcode version 26.0 beta 4 (17A5285i) on iOS 18.5 and on iOS 26.0. In iOS 26 beta 4 on the right the spacing of the UIBarButtonItem elements does not look good: The buttons are created like so: colorButtonText = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage systemImageNamed:@"paintbrush"] style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:@selector(drawingActionColor:)]; //... [drawingToolbarText setItems:@[colorButtonText, ...]]; Is this a known issue with the current iOS 26? Am I doing something wrong?

I'm using the following code in my Info.plist to get my app to appear in the "Open in.." menu via the sharing button for PDF files: <key>CFBundleDocumentTypes</key> <array> <dict> <key>CFBundleTypeName</key> <string>PDF</string> <key>LSHandlerRank</key> <string>Alternate</string> <key>LSItemContentTypes</key> <array> <string>com.adobe.pdf</string> </array> </dict> </array> This is working fine. But I cannot get the same effect for any type of image file. I was trying to add this according to some Stackoverflow posts: <dict> <key>CFBundleTypeName</key> <string>public.jpeg</string> <key>LSHandlerRank</key> <string>Alternate</string> <key>LSItemContentTypes</key> <array> <string>public.jpeg</string> <string>public.jpg</string> </array> </dict> <dict> <key>CFBundleTypeName</key> <string>public.png</string> <key>LSHandlerRank</key> <string>Alternate</string> <key>LSItemContentTypes</key> <array> <string>public.png</string> </array> </dict> However, it is not working for images. Is this supported? Should it work?
