UIViewController's modalInPopover is deprecated and might disappear in the near future. Is there any replacement? UIViewController's presentViewController:animated:completion is not an equivalent because the modal style cannot be changed while the controller is already presented.

It seems to be that the functionality of the method setViewController:forColumn: in the column-style layout of a UISplitViewController has changed. iOS 18: setViewController:forColumn: pushes a new view controller onto the UINavigationController if it existed before the call. iOS 26: setViewController:forColumn: sets or replaces the view controller with a new view controller as a root of a new UINavigationController. My questions: what is the intended behavior? I did not find any documentation about a change. how do I replace in iOS 18 the old view controller with the new view controller passed to setViewController:forColumn:?

Once in a while I get from Xcode a reminder to test Coding Intelligence. I am today not interested in Coding Intelligence and it's unlikely that I will be in the future. Therefore, I would like to get rid of these for me useless reminders to activate Coding Intelligence. I have not found anywhere anything for doing so. Or do I get rid of the reminders when activating it and deactivating it immediately again (if this is possible)?

There have been a few posts related the same issue but I have not seen a solution: when using SQLite in a sandboxed app the database's journal file cannot be opened. What kind of sqlite database naming, entitlements, info-plist settings etc. are required to let SQLite open a journal file?
