My app is a bit of a special case and relies on a custom view in a NSStatusItem. I use a NSHostingView and add it as a subview to my NSStatusItem's .button property. Since macOS 26 Tahoe, even simple animations like a .frame change of a Circle won't animate smoothly even though the same SwiftUI animates normally in a WindowGroup. class AppDelegate: NSObject, NSApplicationDelegate { private let statusItem: NSStatusItem = NSStatusBar.system.statusItem(withLength: NSStatusItem.variableLength) func applicationDidFinishLaunching(_ aNotification: Notification) { let subview = NSHostingView(rootView: AnimationView()) let view = self.statusItem.button view?.addSubview(subview) subview.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false guard let view = view else { return } NSLayoutConstraint.activate([ subview.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerXAnchor), subview.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerYAnchor), subview.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 22), subview.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 22) ]) } } struct AnimationView: View { @State private var isTapped = false @State private var size: CGSize = .init(width: 4, height: 4) var body: some View { Circle() .fill(.pink) .frame(width: size.width, height: size.height) .frame(width: 20, height: 20) // .frame(maxHeight: .infinity) // .padding(.horizontal, 9) // .frame(height: 22) .contentShape(Rectangle()) // .background(Color.blue.opacity(0.5)) .onTapGesture { withAnimation(.interactiveSpring(response: 0.85, dampingFraction: 0.26, blendDuration: 0.45)) { // withAnimation(.spring()) { if isTapped { size = .init(width: 4, height: 4) } else { size = .init(width: 16, height: 16) } } isTapped.toggle() }} } Example project: https://app.box.com/s/q28upunrgkxyyd97ovslgud9yitqaxfk

I have an app that uses AppKit and SwiftUI. The app settings are made with SwiftUI On macOS 13 you could use the following to open SwiftUI settings: NSApp.sendAction(Selector(("showSettingsWindow:")), to: nil, from: nil) On macOS 14 Sonoma the above does not work anymore, instead you have to use a SwiftUI View called SettingsLink. Now the problem is, my app needs to open Settings from a part of the app that uses AppKit. My app does not show or use its menubar, so Settings are not accessible from there, so I provide access from a NSMenuItem. How can I programmatically open SwiftUI Settings from AppKit?
