Does activeLockedVideoFrameDuration limit fully manual exposure to half a frame?
On an iPhone 18 Pro running iOS 27, I’m seeing an interaction between locked frame timing and custom exposure. I configure the wide camera for 4K at 29.97 fps: input.activeLockedVideoFrameDuration = CMTime(value: 1001, timescale: 30000) With aperture and ISO fixed, I set exposure using the iOS 27 setExposureModeCustom(lensAperture:duration:iso:completionHandler:) API. A controlled comparison produced: 10 ms requested: timing lock ON → 10.000 ms; OFF → 10.000 ms. 16 ms requested: timing lock ON → 16.129 ms; OFF → 16.129 ms. 20 ms requested: timing lock ON → 16.667 ms; OFF → 20.000 ms. “OFF” means ordinary minimum and maximum frame durations both set to 1001/30000 seconds. These are exposure values from per-frame camera metadata after valid completion timestamps and a settling period. The behaviour occurs both idle and during recording. With the timing lock enabled, delivered frame timestamps show exact 30000/1001 pacing. Without it, fully manual capture measured approximately 29.964 fps. Separately, with shutter fixed at 20 ms but ISO automatic, the locked-timing configuration held 20 ms and exact 29.97. That suggests exposure ownership affects the behaviour. The documentation (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avfoundation/avcapturedeviceinput/activelockedvideoframeduration) recommends exposure durations of half a frame or less to maintain full dynamic range, but doesn’t explicitly describe a duration clamp. Is this expected behaviour? Does fully manual exposure impose a half-frame ceiling when locked frame timing is active? Is there an API to query that effective limit? The format’s advertised exposure range includes 20 ms. Is there a supported way to retain exact fractional frame timing and a longer fully manual exposure? I can provide a minimal reproducer and device diagnostics.

iOS 27 beta 5: cameracaptured repeatedly crashes in BWVISNode with two stabilized front-camera video outputs
I’m seeing a repeatable first-party cameracaptured crash on an iPhone 14 Pro (iPhone15,2) running iOS 27 beta 5 (24A5424a). The single-camera AVCaptureSession configuration is: Front wide camera 3840×2160 at 30 fps, SDR/420f Two AVCaptureVideoDataOutput connections: Main recording output: 3840×2160 Auxiliary preview output: approximately 2096×1178 Both connections request and activate .standard video stabilization Within roughly two minutes, cameracaptured crashed three times—once during recording and twice during idle preview. The application receives AVErrorMediaServicesWereReset (-11819) after each crash. All three reports have the same faulting queue and underlying stack: com.apple.coremedia.capture.videodata-stabilization.front FigCFDictionaryGetCGRectIfPresent -[BWVISNode _transformRectanglesInMetadata:pts:] -[BWVISNode _stabilizeMetadataForSampleBuffer:] -[BWVISNode _tallyAndEmitSampleBuffer:] VideoStabilizationV2 The first two crashes are: EXC_BAD_ACCESS / EXC_ARM_PAC_FAIL address: 0x00000000dac11a30 termination: PAC_EXCEPTION, code 261 The third reaches the same stabilization stack but terminates with: EXC_BAD_ACCESS / SIGSEGV KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x30 App-side frame analytics were disabled, system pressure remained nominal, and neither audiomxd nor bluetoothd restarted. The first crash report also shows two front- stabilization worker threads, consistent with the two stabilized video outputs. I have filed Feedback Assistant report FB24553011 with the complete log archive and all three cameracaptured reports. With the iOS 27 public release approaching, waiting for an OS-side fix is not a viable shipping strategy; an app-side workaround is effectively the only option available for our release. Is this a known issue? In particular: Is it safe to leave .standard stabilization on the main recording connection while forcing the auxiliary preview connection to .off? Would disabling/removing the auxiliary AVCaptureVideoDataOutput reliably reduce this to one stabilization pipeline? If a single stabilized front output remains affected, is disabling front-camera stabilization entirely the only supported containment? Is there any public API for disabling the rectangle-metadata processing performed by BWVISNode? The current field workaround is to use the front camera with stabilization Off, or use a rear camera when stabilization is required.

videoZoomFactor updates do not propagate smoothly to an unstabilized secondary AVCaptureVideoDataOutput
I’m seeing a device/OS-specific AVFoundation issue on iPhone 14 Pro running iOS 26.6. A secondary AVCaptureVideoDataOutput is used to provide an unstabilized monitoring feed while the main recording connection is stabilized. During continuous zoom changes, frames from the secondary output continue arriving and scene motion remains live, but its visible zoom/crop/FOV intermittently remains unchanged and then catches up. The saved recording remains smooth and reflects the requested zoom correctly. Minimal configuration: Device: iPhone 14 Pro iOS: 26.6 Physical Ultra Wide camera 1920×1080 at 30 fps SDR, 8-bit YUV Main VDO: 420v Main connection stabilization: .cinematicExtendedEnhanced Auxiliary VDO: 420f Auxiliary connection stabilization: explicitly .off automaticallyConfiguresOutputBufferDimensions = false deliversPreviewSizedOutputBuffers = true alwaysDiscardsLateVideoFrames = true Deferred start disabled Both outputs use a serial delegate queue The auxiliary output is displayed directly without image processing. During continuous videoZoomFactor updates: AVCaptureDevice.videoZoomFactor advances correctly. The UI zoom value advances correctly. The main recorded output zooms smoothly. Frames from the auxiliary output continue arriving and scene motion remains live. Only the auxiliary output's visible zoom/crop/FOV intermittently holds at an older value and then catches up. This is not a complete preview-frame stall: camera movement remains visible during the periods when zoom does not visually advance. The problem occurs with any non-Off stabilization tier in the production app because that configuration installs the unstabilized auxiliary output. Stabilization Off removes the auxiliary topology, and zoom then appears smooth on the main preview feed. A standalone capture sample reproduces the problem without the application’s writer or rendering pipeline. Current device matrix: iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 26.6: reproduces. iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 18.6.x, same released application version: does not reproduce. iPhone 17 Pro, iOS 26.6, isolated sample: does not reproduce. iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 27 beta 5: testing in progress — result to be added. The issue was initially reported with HEVC/Apple Log capture, but it remains reproducible after reducing the graph to 1080p30 SDR8. Questions: Is using two video-data-output connections with different stabilization modes—Extreme on the recording output and Off on the monitoring output—a supported configuration? Is delayed propagation of zoom geometry/crop to a secondary video-data output known on iPhone 14 Pro/iOS 26 when another output connection is stabilized? Is there a recommended AVFoundation topology for obtaining a low-latency, unstabilized monitoring feed while separately recording stabilized video? Are there output or connection properties that must be set to make videoZoomFactor geometry changes propagate synchronously to both outputs? I can provide the standalone sample project, screen recordings, connection-mode logs, buffer PTS/arrival cadence, and a sysdiagnose. EDIT: Issue seen on iOS 27 beta 5 devices as well. No such issue is seen in iOS 18 devices.

Supported Core Image workflow for cropping/scaling Apple Log x422 buffers without converting to HLG?
We capture Apple Log video using AVCaptureVideoDataOutput with: AVCaptureDevice.activeColorSpace = .appleLog or .appleLog2 kCVPixelFormatType_422YpCbCr10BiPlanarVideoRange (x422) AVAssetWriter for the final ProRes/HEVC recording We need to bake spatial operations such as a centre crop and optional anamorphic desqueeze into the recorded raster. We want the result to remain Apple Log for subsequent grading; we do not want to display-transform or convert it to HLG. Core Image/Core Graphics does not appear to expose a public Apple Log or Apple Log 2 CGColorSpace. Core Video instead identifies the signal using kCVImageBufferLogTransferFunctionKey. Would this be the supported Core Image approach for spatial-only processing? let image = CIImage( cvPixelBuffer: sourceBuffer, options: [.colorSpace: NSNull()] ) let context = CIContext( mtlDevice: metalDevice, options: [ .workingColorSpace: NSNull(), .outputColorSpace: NSNull(), .cacheIntermediates: false ] ) let outputImage = image .cropped(to: cropRect) .transformed(by: spatialTransform) context.render( outputImage, to: destinationX422Buffer, bounds: outputBounds, colorSpace: nil ) We would then copy the source buffer’s Apple Log colour and Log-transfer attachments to the destination buffer and append it to an AVAssetWriterInputPixelBufferAdaptor. Could an Apple engineer clarify the following? Does CIImage(cvPixelBuffer:) natively interpret kCVImageBufferLogTransferFunctionKey, even though no public Apple Log CGColorSpace exists? When NSNull()/nil is supplied as above, does Core Image leave the Apple Log values unmanaged during crop and affine operations? When rendering x422 to x422, can Core Image preserve the Log signal apart from expected resampling/rounding, or does it internally perform a colour conversion such as YCbCr → RGB → YCbCr? For scaling or anamorphic desqueeze, is Apple’s recommended workflow to: resample the encoded Apple Log values with colour management disabled, or explicitly decode Apple Log to a linear working space, resample, and encode back using a custom Metal implementation? Is copying kCVImageBufferLogTransferFunctionKey and the related colour attachments from source to destination sufficient for AVAssetWriter, assuming the writer settings were obtained from recommendedVideoSettingsForAssetWriter(writingTo:)? Is there ever a supported reason to use HLG as an intermediate for Apple Log processing, or should that be avoided? This this part, we are concerned about preserving the captured Log signal in a recording pipeline, not applying a viewing LUT or displaying Apple Log. Next, we also support optional LUT processing with CIColorCube. Some LUTs are technical Apple Log-to-display transforms, while others expect linear or Rec.709 input. If the image is created with .colorSpace: NSNull(), we understand that the LUT receives unmanaged Apple Log code values and that the LUT itself must perform the required transfer-function and gamut conversion. Does Core Image synthesize an Apple Log-aware input color space from kCVImageBufferLogTransferFunctionKey, or must applications implement Apple Log/Apple Log 2 decoding explicitly before using ordinary Core Image filters? Is there a supported CGColorSpace, ColorSync profile, or Core Image conversion API for this? Additionally, what numeric range does CIColorCube receive when its source is an x422 video-range Apple Log buffer— normalized Log RGB values, or values requiring explicit video-range conversion?

ProResRAW shooting issue with AVCaptureMovieFileOutput with the first video
On iOS 26, the first ProRes RAW recording after launching the app consistently stalls for the entire take: audio records normally, but video contains only a few frames (for example, an 11.8-second clip at approximately 0.25 fps instead of 30 fps). Every subsequent recording works correctly. Before startRecording, the Bayer format is active, ProRes RAW is available, white balance is locked, and frame duration is pinned to 1/30. Reordering setOutputSettings and reasserting configuration have not resolved it; only discarding the first recording acts as a reliable warm-up. Is this a known one-time ProRes RAW encoder initialisation issue, and is there a supported way to prepare the encoder before the first user takes? I have a full working sample code if anyone needs but here is the setup function: import CoreMedia import CoreVideo @available(iOS 26.0, *) final class ProResRAWRecorder: NSObject, AVCaptureFileOutputRecordingDelegate { let session = AVCaptureSession() private let movieOutput = AVCaptureMovieFileOutput() private var camera: AVCaptureDevice! // Call on a serial capture queue. func configure() throws { session.beginConfiguration() defer { session.commitConfiguration() } session.sessionPreset = .inputPriority session.automaticallyConfiguresCaptureDeviceForWideColor = false guard let device = AVCaptureDevice.default( .builtInWideAngleCamera, for: .video, position: .back ) else { throw SampleError.noCamera } let cameraInput = try AVCaptureDeviceInput(device: device) guard session.canAddInput(cameraInput) else { throw SampleError.cannotAddInput } session.addInput(cameraInput) camera = device // Optional, but reproduces the real topology where audio remains healthy. if let microphone = AVCaptureDevice.default(for: .audio), let microphoneInput = try? AVCaptureDeviceInput(device: microphone), session.canAddInput(microphoneInput) { session.addInput(microphoneInput) } // Find a 12-bit packed Bayer format supporting 30 fps. guard let rawFormat = device.formats .filter({ CMFormatDescriptionGetMediaSubType($0.formatDescription) == kCVPixelFormatType_96VersatileBayerPacked12 && $0.videoSupportedFrameRateRanges.contains { $0.minFrameRate <= 30 && $0.maxFrameRate >= 30 } }) .max(by: { let a = CMVideoFormatDescriptionGetDimensions($0.formatDescription) let b = CMVideoFormatDescriptionGetDimensions($1.formatDescription) return Int(a.width) * Int(a.height) < Int(b.width) * Int(b.height) }) else { throw SampleError.noRAWFormat } try device.lockForConfiguration() device.activeFormat = rawFormat if rawFormat.supportedColorSpaces.contains(.appleLog) { device.activeColorSpace = .appleLog } let frameDuration = CMTime(value: 1, timescale: 30) device.activeVideoMinFrameDuration = frameDuration device.activeVideoMaxFrameDuration = frameDuration if device.isWhiteBalanceModeSupported(.locked) { device.whiteBalanceMode = .locked } device.unlockForConfiguration() guard session.canAddOutput(movieOutput) else { throw SampleError.cannotAddOutput } session.addOutput(movieOutput) session.startRunning() } // Call on the same serial capture queue after startRunning() returns. func record(to url: URL) throws { guard let connection = movieOutput.connection(with: .video) else { throw SampleError.noVideoConnection } // Reassert the required device state at the take boundary. try camera.lockForConfiguration() if camera.isWhiteBalanceModeSupported(.locked) { camera.whiteBalanceMode = .locked } let frameDuration = CMTime(value: 1, timescale: 30) camera.activeVideoMinFrameDuration = frameDuration camera.activeVideoMaxFrameDuration = frameDuration camera.unlockForConfiguration() guard movieOutput.availableVideoCodecTypes.contains(.proResRAW) else { throw SampleError.rawCodecUnavailable } movieOutput.setOutputSettings( [AVVideoCodecKey: AVVideoCodecType.proResRAW], for: connection ) movieOutput.startRecording(to: url, recordingDelegate: self) } func stop() { if movieOutput.isRecording { movieOutput.stopRecording() } } func fileOutput( _ output: AVCaptureFileOutput, didFinishRecordingTo outputFileURL: URL, from connections: [AVCaptureConnection], error: Error? ) { print("Finished:", outputFileURL, "error:", error as Any) } enum SampleError: Error { case noCamera case cannotAddInput case noRAWFormat case cannotAddOutput case noVideoConnection case rawCodecUnavailable } }

RotationCoordinator returns angles 90 degrees lower on iPhone 17 Pro front camera — clarification on contract with AVSampleBufferDisplayLayer
Hi AVFoundation team, I'm seeing a uniform 90° offset in AVCaptureDevice.RotationCoordinator's reported angles between iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro using the front-facing .builtInWideAngleCamera (Center Stage on 17 Pro), and I'd like to confirm whether this is by design and what the recommended consumption pattern is when the rendering surface is an AVSampleBufferDisplayLayer rather than an AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer. Here is the github repo of sample project. Setup Devices: iPhone 14 Pro (iOS 26.5) and iPhone 17 Pro (iOS 26.4.2) Camera: front, AVCaptureDeviceTypeBuiltInWideAngleCamera Active format: 1920×1080 Three RotationCoordinator instances are created on the same AVCaptureDevice, varying only the previewLayer: argument: - previewLayer: nil - previewLayer: AVSampleBufferDisplayLayer (the surface receiving frames from AVCaptureVideoDataOutput) - previewLayer: AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer (with .session = captureSession, not displayed) Each instance is KVO-observed for videoRotationAngleForHorizonLevelPreview and videoRotationAngleForHorizonLevelCapture. Observed angles Device / Orientation: 14 Pro · Portrait (interface=1) RC[nil] prev / cap: 0° / 90° RC[AVSampleBufferLayer] prev / cap: 90° / 90° RC[AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer] prev / cap: 0° / 90° ──────────────────────────────────────── Device / Orientation: 14 Pro · LandscapeRight (interface=3) RC[nil] prev / cap: 0° / 180° RC[AVSampleBufferLayer] prev / cap: 180° / 180° RC[AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer] prev / cap: 0° / 180° ──────────────────────────────────────── Device / Orientation: 17 Pro · Portrait (interface=1) RC[nil] prev / cap: 0° / 0° RC[AVSampleBufferLayer] prev / cap: 0° / 0° RC[AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer] prev / cap: 0° / 0° ──────────────────────────────────────── Device / Orientation: 17 Pro · LandscapeRight (interface=3) RC[nil] prev / cap: 0° / 90° RC[AVSampleBufferLayer] prev / cap: 90° / 90° RC[AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer] prev / cap: 0° / 90° The −90° offset on 17 Pro is uniform: it appears in every RC variant, in both the preview-angle and the capture-angle properties, at every orientation tested. It is not specific to the previewLayer: argument.

AVCaptureSession setting preset has no effect if HDR configured with AVCaptureVideoDataOutput
I want to confirm if this is a bug or a programming error. Very easy to reproduce it by modifying AVCam sample code. Steps to reproduce: Add AVCaptureVideoDataOutput to AVCaptureSession, no need to set delegate in AVCam sample code (CaptureService actor) private let videoDataOutput = AVCaptureVideoDataOutput() and then in configureSession method, add the following line try addOutput(videoDataOutput) if videoDataOutput.availableVideoPixelFormatTypes.contains(kCVPixelFormatType_420YpCbCr8BiPlanarFullRange) { videoDataOutput.videoSettings = [kCVPixelBufferPixelFormatTypeKey as AnyHashable as! String : kCVPixelFormatType_420YpCbCr8BiPlanarFullRange] } And next modify set HDR method: /// Sets whether the app captures HDR video. func setHDRVideoEnabled(_ isEnabled: Bool) { // Bracket the following configuration in a begin/commit configuration pair. captureSession.beginConfiguration() defer { captureSession.commitConfiguration() } do { // If the current device provides a 10-bit HDR format, enable it for use. if isEnabled, let format = currentDevice.activeFormat10BitVariant { try currentDevice.lockForConfiguration() currentDevice.activeFormat = format currentDevice.unlockForConfiguration() isHDRVideoEnabled = true if videoDataOutput.availableVideoPixelFormatTypes.contains(kCVPixelFormatType_420YpCbCr10BiPlanarVideoRange) { videoDataOutput.videoSettings = [kCVPixelBufferPixelFormatTypeKey as AnyHashable as! String : kCVPixelFormatType_420YpCbCr10BiPlanarVideoRange] } } else { captureSession.sessionPreset = .high isHDRVideoEnabled = false if videoDataOutput.availableVideoPixelFormatTypes.contains(kCVPixelFormatType_32BGRA) { print("Setting sdr pixel format \(kCVPixelFormatType_32BGRA)") videoDataOutput.videoSettings = [kCVPixelBufferPixelFormatTypeKey as AnyHashable as! String : kCVPixelFormatType_32BGRA] } try currentDevice.lockForConfiguration() currentDevice.activeColorSpace = .sRGB currentDevice.unlockForConfiguration() } } catch { logger.error("Unable to obtain lock on device and can't enable HDR video capture.") } The problem now is toggling HDR on and off no longer works in video mode. If after setting HDR on, you set HDR to off, active format of device does not change (setting sessionPreset has no effect). This does not happen if video data output is not added to session. Is there any workaround available?

Adding AVCaptureMovieFileOutput and AVCaptureVideoDataOutput with ProRes422
Adding both AVCaptureMovieFileOutput and AVCaptureVideoDataOutput is supported in AVCaptureSession as seen in documentation (copied snippet below) but then when AVCaptureDevice is configured with ProRes422 codec, it fails unless one of the two outputs is removed from the capture session. It is very much reproducible on iPhone 14 pro running iOS 26.0. Prior to iOS 16, you can add an AVCaptureVideoDataOutput and an AVCaptureMovieFileOutput to the same session, but only one may have its connection active. If you attempt to enable both connections, the system chooses the movie file output as the active connection and disables the video data output’s connection. For apps that link against iOS 16 or later, this restriction no longer exists.

SwiftUI scroll position targeting buggy with viewAligned scrollTargetBehavior
I have a discrete scrubber implementation (range 0-100) using ScrollView in SwiftUI that fails on the end points. For instance, scrolling it all the way to bottom shows a value of 87 instead of 100. Or if scrolling down by tapping + button incrementally till it reaches the end, it will show the correct value of 100 when it reaches the end. But now, tapping minus button doesn't scrolls the scrubber back till minus button is clicked thrice. I understand this has only to do with scroll target behaviour of .viewAligned but don't understand what exactly is the issue, or if its a bug in SwiftUI. import SwiftUI struct VerticalScrubber: View { var config: ScrubberConfig @Binding var value: CGFloat @State private var scrollPosition: Int? var body: some View { GeometryReader { geometry in let verticalPadding = geometry.size.height / 2 - 8 ZStack(alignment: .trailing) { ScrollView(.vertical, showsIndicators: false) { VStack(spacing: config.spacing) { ForEach(0...(config.steps * config.count), id: \.self) { index in horizontalTickMark(for: index) .id(index) } } .frame(width: 80) .scrollTargetLayout() .safeAreaPadding(.vertical, verticalPadding) } .scrollTargetBehavior(.viewAligned) .scrollPosition(id: $scrollPosition, anchor: .top) Capsule() .frame(width: 32, height: 3) .foregroundColor(.accentColor) .shadow(color: .accentColor.opacity(0.3), radius: 3, x: 0, y: 1) } .frame(width: 100) .onAppear { DispatchQueue.main.async { scrollPosition = Int(value * CGFloat(config.steps)) } } .onChange(of: value, { oldValue, newValue in let newIndex = Int(newValue * CGFloat(config.steps)) print("New index \(newIndex)") if scrollPosition != newIndex { withAnimation { scrollPosition = newIndex print("\(scrollPosition)") } } }) .onChange(of: scrollPosition, { oldIndex, newIndex in guard let pos = newIndex else { return } let newValue = CGFloat(pos) / CGFloat(config.steps) if abs(value - newValue) > 0.001 { value = newValue } }) } } private func horizontalTickMark(for index: Int) -> some View { let isMajorTick = index % config.steps == 0 let tickValue = index / config.steps return HStack(spacing: 8) { Rectangle() .fill(isMajorTick ? Color.accentColor : Color.gray.opacity(0.5)) .frame(width: isMajorTick ? 24 : 12, height: isMajorTick ? 2 : 1) if isMajorTick { Text("\(tickValue * 5)") .font(.system(size: 12, weight: .medium)) .foregroundColor(.primary) .fixedSize() } } .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, alignment: .trailing) .padding(.trailing, 8) } } #Preview("Vertical Scrubber") { struct VerticalScrubberPreview: View { @State private var value: CGFloat = 0 private let config = ScrubberConfig(count: 20, steps: 5, spacing: 8) var body: some View { VStack { Text("Vertical Scrubber (0–100 in steps of 5)") .font(.title2) .padding() HStack(spacing: 30) { VerticalScrubber(config: config, value: $value) .frame(width: 120, height: 300) .background(Color(.systemBackground)) .border(Color.gray.opacity(0.3)) VStack { Text("Current Value:") .font(.headline) Text("\(value * 5, specifier: "%.0f")") .font(.system(size: 36, weight: .bold)) .padding() HStack { Button("−5") { let newValue = max(0, value - 1) if value != newValue { value = newValue UISelectionFeedbackGenerator().selectionChanged() } print("Value \(newValue), \(value)") } .disabled(value <= 0) Button("+5") { let newValue = min(CGFloat(config.count), value + 1) if value != newValue { value = newValue UISelectionFeedbackGenerator().selectionChanged() } print("Value \(newValue), \(value)") } .disabled(value >= CGFloat(config.count)) } .buttonStyle(.bordered) } } Spacer() } .padding() } } return VerticalScrubberPreview() }

SwiftUI infinite loop issue with @Environment(\.verticalSizeClass)
I see SwiftUI body being repeatedly called in an infinite loop in the presence of Environment variables like horizontalSizeClass or verticalSizeClass. This happens after device is rotated from portrait to landscape and then back to portrait mode. The deinit method of TestPlayerVM is repeatedly called. Minimally reproducible sample code is pasted below. The infinite loop is not seen if I remove size class environment references, OR, if I skip addPlayerObservers call in the TestPlayerVM initialiser. import AVKit import Combine struct InfiniteLoopView: View { @Environment(\.verticalSizeClass) var verticalSizeClass @Environment(\.horizontalSizeClass) var horizontalSizeClass @State private var openPlayer = false @State var playerURL: URL = URL(fileURLWithPath: Bundle.main.path(forResource: "Test_Video", ofType: ".mov")!) var body: some View { PlayerView(playerURL: playerURL) .ignoresSafeArea() } } struct PlayerView: View { @Environment(\.dismiss) var dismiss var playerURL:URL @State var playerVM = TestPlayerVM() var body: some View { VideoPlayer(player: playerVM.player) .ignoresSafeArea() .background { Color.black } .task { let playerItem = AVPlayerItem(url: playerURL) playerVM.playerItem = playerItem } } } @Observable class TestPlayerVM { private(set) public var player: AVPlayer = AVPlayer() var playerItem:AVPlayerItem? { didSet { player.replaceCurrentItem(with: playerItem) } } private var cancellable = Set<AnyCancellable>() init() { addPlayerObservers() } deinit { print("Deinit Video player manager") removeAllObservers() } private func removeAllObservers() { cancellable.removeAll() } private func addPlayerObservers() { player.publisher(for: \.timeControlStatus, options: [.initial, .new]) .receive(on: DispatchQueue.main) .sink { timeControlStatus in print("Player time control status \(timeControlStatus)") } .store(in: &cancellable) } }

Does activeLockedVideoFrameDuration limit fully manual exposure to half a frame?
On an iPhone 18 Pro running iOS 27, I’m seeing an interaction between locked frame timing and custom exposure. I configure the wide camera for 4K at 29.97 fps: input.activeLockedVideoFrameDuration = CMTime(value: 1001, timescale: 30000) With aperture and ISO fixed, I set exposure using the iOS 27 setExposureModeCustom(lensAperture:duration:iso:completionHandler:) API. A controlled comparison produced: 10 ms requested: timing lock ON → 10.000 ms; OFF → 10.000 ms. 16 ms requested: timing lock ON → 16.129 ms; OFF → 16.129 ms. 20 ms requested: timing lock ON → 16.667 ms; OFF → 20.000 ms. “OFF” means ordinary minimum and maximum frame durations both set to 1001/30000 seconds. These are exposure values from per-frame camera metadata after valid completion timestamps and a settling period. The behaviour occurs both idle and during recording. With the timing lock enabled, delivered frame timestamps show exact 30000/1001 pacing. Without it, fully manual capture measured approximately 29.964 fps. Separately, with shutter fixed at 20 ms but ISO automatic, the locked-timing configuration held 20 ms and exact 29.97. That suggests exposure ownership affects the behaviour. The documentation (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avfoundation/avcapturedeviceinput/activelockedvideoframeduration) recommends exposure durations of half a frame or less to maintain full dynamic range, but doesn’t explicitly describe a duration clamp. Is this expected behaviour? Does fully manual exposure impose a half-frame ceiling when locked frame timing is active? Is there an API to query that effective limit? The format’s advertised exposure range includes 20 ms. Is there a supported way to retain exact fractional frame timing and a longer fully manual exposure? I can provide a minimal reproducer and device diagnostics.

iOS 27 beta 5: cameracaptured repeatedly crashes in BWVISNode with two stabilized front-camera video outputs
I’m seeing a repeatable first-party cameracaptured crash on an iPhone 14 Pro (iPhone15,2) running iOS 27 beta 5 (24A5424a). The single-camera AVCaptureSession configuration is: Front wide camera 3840×2160 at 30 fps, SDR/420f Two AVCaptureVideoDataOutput connections: Main recording output: 3840×2160 Auxiliary preview output: approximately 2096×1178 Both connections request and activate .standard video stabilization Within roughly two minutes, cameracaptured crashed three times—once during recording and twice during idle preview. The application receives AVErrorMediaServicesWereReset (-11819) after each crash. All three reports have the same faulting queue and underlying stack: com.apple.coremedia.capture.videodata-stabilization.front FigCFDictionaryGetCGRectIfPresent -[BWVISNode _transformRectanglesInMetadata:pts:] -[BWVISNode _stabilizeMetadataForSampleBuffer:] -[BWVISNode _tallyAndEmitSampleBuffer:] VideoStabilizationV2 The first two crashes are: EXC_BAD_ACCESS / EXC_ARM_PAC_FAIL address: 0x00000000dac11a30 termination: PAC_EXCEPTION, code 261 The third reaches the same stabilization stack but terminates with: EXC_BAD_ACCESS / SIGSEGV KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x30 App-side frame analytics were disabled, system pressure remained nominal, and neither audiomxd nor bluetoothd restarted. The first crash report also shows two front- stabilization worker threads, consistent with the two stabilized video outputs. I have filed Feedback Assistant report FB24553011 with the complete log archive and all three cameracaptured reports. With the iOS 27 public release approaching, waiting for an OS-side fix is not a viable shipping strategy; an app-side workaround is effectively the only option available for our release. Is this a known issue? In particular: Is it safe to leave .standard stabilization on the main recording connection while forcing the auxiliary preview connection to .off? Would disabling/removing the auxiliary AVCaptureVideoDataOutput reliably reduce this to one stabilization pipeline? If a single stabilized front output remains affected, is disabling front-camera stabilization entirely the only supported containment? Is there any public API for disabling the rectangle-metadata processing performed by BWVISNode? The current field workaround is to use the front camera with stabilization Off, or use a rear camera when stabilization is required.

videoZoomFactor updates do not propagate smoothly to an unstabilized secondary AVCaptureVideoDataOutput
I’m seeing a device/OS-specific AVFoundation issue on iPhone 14 Pro running iOS 26.6. A secondary AVCaptureVideoDataOutput is used to provide an unstabilized monitoring feed while the main recording connection is stabilized. During continuous zoom changes, frames from the secondary output continue arriving and scene motion remains live, but its visible zoom/crop/FOV intermittently remains unchanged and then catches up. The saved recording remains smooth and reflects the requested zoom correctly. Minimal configuration: Device: iPhone 14 Pro iOS: 26.6 Physical Ultra Wide camera 1920×1080 at 30 fps SDR, 8-bit YUV Main VDO: 420v Main connection stabilization: .cinematicExtendedEnhanced Auxiliary VDO: 420f Auxiliary connection stabilization: explicitly .off automaticallyConfiguresOutputBufferDimensions = false deliversPreviewSizedOutputBuffers = true alwaysDiscardsLateVideoFrames = true Deferred start disabled Both outputs use a serial delegate queue The auxiliary output is displayed directly without image processing. During continuous videoZoomFactor updates: AVCaptureDevice.videoZoomFactor advances correctly. The UI zoom value advances correctly. The main recorded output zooms smoothly. Frames from the auxiliary output continue arriving and scene motion remains live. Only the auxiliary output's visible zoom/crop/FOV intermittently holds at an older value and then catches up. This is not a complete preview-frame stall: camera movement remains visible during the periods when zoom does not visually advance. The problem occurs with any non-Off stabilization tier in the production app because that configuration installs the unstabilized auxiliary output. Stabilization Off removes the auxiliary topology, and zoom then appears smooth on the main preview feed. A standalone capture sample reproduces the problem without the application’s writer or rendering pipeline. Current device matrix: iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 26.6: reproduces. iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 18.6.x, same released application version: does not reproduce. iPhone 17 Pro, iOS 26.6, isolated sample: does not reproduce. iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 27 beta 5: testing in progress — result to be added. The issue was initially reported with HEVC/Apple Log capture, but it remains reproducible after reducing the graph to 1080p30 SDR8. Questions: Is using two video-data-output connections with different stabilization modes—Extreme on the recording output and Off on the monitoring output—a supported configuration? Is delayed propagation of zoom geometry/crop to a secondary video-data output known on iPhone 14 Pro/iOS 26 when another output connection is stabilized? Is there a recommended AVFoundation topology for obtaining a low-latency, unstabilized monitoring feed while separately recording stabilized video? Are there output or connection properties that must be set to make videoZoomFactor geometry changes propagate synchronously to both outputs? I can provide the standalone sample project, screen recordings, connection-mode logs, buffer PTS/arrival cadence, and a sysdiagnose. EDIT: Issue seen on iOS 27 beta 5 devices as well. No such issue is seen in iOS 18 devices.

Supported Core Image workflow for cropping/scaling Apple Log x422 buffers without converting to HLG?
We capture Apple Log video using AVCaptureVideoDataOutput with: AVCaptureDevice.activeColorSpace = .appleLog or .appleLog2 kCVPixelFormatType_422YpCbCr10BiPlanarVideoRange (x422) AVAssetWriter for the final ProRes/HEVC recording We need to bake spatial operations such as a centre crop and optional anamorphic desqueeze into the recorded raster. We want the result to remain Apple Log for subsequent grading; we do not want to display-transform or convert it to HLG. Core Image/Core Graphics does not appear to expose a public Apple Log or Apple Log 2 CGColorSpace. Core Video instead identifies the signal using kCVImageBufferLogTransferFunctionKey. Would this be the supported Core Image approach for spatial-only processing? let image = CIImage( cvPixelBuffer: sourceBuffer, options: [.colorSpace: NSNull()] ) let context = CIContext( mtlDevice: metalDevice, options: [ .workingColorSpace: NSNull(), .outputColorSpace: NSNull(), .cacheIntermediates: false ] ) let outputImage = image .cropped(to: cropRect) .transformed(by: spatialTransform) context.render( outputImage, to: destinationX422Buffer, bounds: outputBounds, colorSpace: nil ) We would then copy the source buffer’s Apple Log colour and Log-transfer attachments to the destination buffer and append it to an AVAssetWriterInputPixelBufferAdaptor. Could an Apple engineer clarify the following? Does CIImage(cvPixelBuffer:) natively interpret kCVImageBufferLogTransferFunctionKey, even though no public Apple Log CGColorSpace exists? When NSNull()/nil is supplied as above, does Core Image leave the Apple Log values unmanaged during crop and affine operations? When rendering x422 to x422, can Core Image preserve the Log signal apart from expected resampling/rounding, or does it internally perform a colour conversion such as YCbCr → RGB → YCbCr? For scaling or anamorphic desqueeze, is Apple’s recommended workflow to: resample the encoded Apple Log values with colour management disabled, or explicitly decode Apple Log to a linear working space, resample, and encode back using a custom Metal implementation? Is copying kCVImageBufferLogTransferFunctionKey and the related colour attachments from source to destination sufficient for AVAssetWriter, assuming the writer settings were obtained from recommendedVideoSettingsForAssetWriter(writingTo:)? Is there ever a supported reason to use HLG as an intermediate for Apple Log processing, or should that be avoided? This this part, we are concerned about preserving the captured Log signal in a recording pipeline, not applying a viewing LUT or displaying Apple Log. Next, we also support optional LUT processing with CIColorCube. Some LUTs are technical Apple Log-to-display transforms, while others expect linear or Rec.709 input. If the image is created with .colorSpace: NSNull(), we understand that the LUT receives unmanaged Apple Log code values and that the LUT itself must perform the required transfer-function and gamut conversion. Does Core Image synthesize an Apple Log-aware input color space from kCVImageBufferLogTransferFunctionKey, or must applications implement Apple Log/Apple Log 2 decoding explicitly before using ordinary Core Image filters? Is there a supported CGColorSpace, ColorSync profile, or Core Image conversion API for this? Additionally, what numeric range does CIColorCube receive when its source is an x422 video-range Apple Log buffer— normalized Log RGB values, or values requiring explicit video-range conversion?

ProResRAW shooting issue with AVCaptureMovieFileOutput with the first video
On iOS 26, the first ProRes RAW recording after launching the app consistently stalls for the entire take: audio records normally, but video contains only a few frames (for example, an 11.8-second clip at approximately 0.25 fps instead of 30 fps). Every subsequent recording works correctly. Before startRecording, the Bayer format is active, ProRes RAW is available, white balance is locked, and frame duration is pinned to 1/30. Reordering setOutputSettings and reasserting configuration have not resolved it; only discarding the first recording acts as a reliable warm-up. Is this a known one-time ProRes RAW encoder initialisation issue, and is there a supported way to prepare the encoder before the first user takes? I have a full working sample code if anyone needs but here is the setup function: import CoreMedia import CoreVideo @available(iOS 26.0, *) final class ProResRAWRecorder: NSObject, AVCaptureFileOutputRecordingDelegate { let session = AVCaptureSession() private let movieOutput = AVCaptureMovieFileOutput() private var camera: AVCaptureDevice! // Call on a serial capture queue. func configure() throws { session.beginConfiguration() defer { session.commitConfiguration() } session.sessionPreset = .inputPriority session.automaticallyConfiguresCaptureDeviceForWideColor = false guard let device = AVCaptureDevice.default( .builtInWideAngleCamera, for: .video, position: .back ) else { throw SampleError.noCamera } let cameraInput = try AVCaptureDeviceInput(device: device) guard session.canAddInput(cameraInput) else { throw SampleError.cannotAddInput } session.addInput(cameraInput) camera = device // Optional, but reproduces the real topology where audio remains healthy. if let microphone = AVCaptureDevice.default(for: .audio), let microphoneInput = try? AVCaptureDeviceInput(device: microphone), session.canAddInput(microphoneInput) { session.addInput(microphoneInput) } // Find a 12-bit packed Bayer format supporting 30 fps. guard let rawFormat = device.formats .filter({ CMFormatDescriptionGetMediaSubType($0.formatDescription) == kCVPixelFormatType_96VersatileBayerPacked12 && $0.videoSupportedFrameRateRanges.contains { $0.minFrameRate <= 30 && $0.maxFrameRate >= 30 } }) .max(by: { let a = CMVideoFormatDescriptionGetDimensions($0.formatDescription) let b = CMVideoFormatDescriptionGetDimensions($1.formatDescription) return Int(a.width) * Int(a.height) < Int(b.width) * Int(b.height) }) else { throw SampleError.noRAWFormat } try device.lockForConfiguration() device.activeFormat = rawFormat if rawFormat.supportedColorSpaces.contains(.appleLog) { device.activeColorSpace = .appleLog } let frameDuration = CMTime(value: 1, timescale: 30) device.activeVideoMinFrameDuration = frameDuration device.activeVideoMaxFrameDuration = frameDuration if device.isWhiteBalanceModeSupported(.locked) { device.whiteBalanceMode = .locked } device.unlockForConfiguration() guard session.canAddOutput(movieOutput) else { throw SampleError.cannotAddOutput } session.addOutput(movieOutput) session.startRunning() } // Call on the same serial capture queue after startRunning() returns. func record(to url: URL) throws { guard let connection = movieOutput.connection(with: .video) else { throw SampleError.noVideoConnection } // Reassert the required device state at the take boundary. try camera.lockForConfiguration() if camera.isWhiteBalanceModeSupported(.locked) { camera.whiteBalanceMode = .locked } let frameDuration = CMTime(value: 1, timescale: 30) camera.activeVideoMinFrameDuration = frameDuration camera.activeVideoMaxFrameDuration = frameDuration camera.unlockForConfiguration() guard movieOutput.availableVideoCodecTypes.contains(.proResRAW) else { throw SampleError.rawCodecUnavailable } movieOutput.setOutputSettings( [AVVideoCodecKey: AVVideoCodecType.proResRAW], for: connection ) movieOutput.startRecording(to: url, recordingDelegate: self) } func stop() { if movieOutput.isRecording { movieOutput.stopRecording() } } func fileOutput( _ output: AVCaptureFileOutput, didFinishRecordingTo outputFileURL: URL, from connections: [AVCaptureConnection], error: Error? ) { print("Finished:", outputFileURL, "error:", error as Any) } enum SampleError: Error { case noCamera case cannotAddInput case noRAWFormat case cannotAddOutput case noVideoConnection case rawCodecUnavailable } }

RotationCoordinator returns angles 90 degrees lower on iPhone 17 Pro front camera — clarification on contract with AVSampleBufferDisplayLayer
Hi AVFoundation team, I'm seeing a uniform 90° offset in AVCaptureDevice.RotationCoordinator's reported angles between iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro using the front-facing .builtInWideAngleCamera (Center Stage on 17 Pro), and I'd like to confirm whether this is by design and what the recommended consumption pattern is when the rendering surface is an AVSampleBufferDisplayLayer rather than an AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer. Here is the github repo of sample project. Setup Devices: iPhone 14 Pro (iOS 26.5) and iPhone 17 Pro (iOS 26.4.2) Camera: front, AVCaptureDeviceTypeBuiltInWideAngleCamera Active format: 1920×1080 Three RotationCoordinator instances are created on the same AVCaptureDevice, varying only the previewLayer: argument: - previewLayer: nil - previewLayer: AVSampleBufferDisplayLayer (the surface receiving frames from AVCaptureVideoDataOutput) - previewLayer: AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer (with .session = captureSession, not displayed) Each instance is KVO-observed for videoRotationAngleForHorizonLevelPreview and videoRotationAngleForHorizonLevelCapture. Observed angles Device / Orientation: 14 Pro · Portrait (interface=1) RC[nil] prev / cap: 0° / 90° RC[AVSampleBufferLayer] prev / cap: 90° / 90° RC[AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer] prev / cap: 0° / 90° ──────────────────────────────────────── Device / Orientation: 14 Pro · LandscapeRight (interface=3) RC[nil] prev / cap: 0° / 180° RC[AVSampleBufferLayer] prev / cap: 180° / 180° RC[AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer] prev / cap: 0° / 180° ──────────────────────────────────────── Device / Orientation: 17 Pro · Portrait (interface=1) RC[nil] prev / cap: 0° / 0° RC[AVSampleBufferLayer] prev / cap: 0° / 0° RC[AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer] prev / cap: 0° / 0° ──────────────────────────────────────── Device / Orientation: 17 Pro · LandscapeRight (interface=3) RC[nil] prev / cap: 0° / 90° RC[AVSampleBufferLayer] prev / cap: 90° / 90° RC[AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer] prev / cap: 0° / 90° The −90° offset on 17 Pro is uniform: it appears in every RC variant, in both the preview-angle and the capture-angle properties, at every orientation tested. It is not specific to the previewLayer: argument.

AVCaptureSession setting preset has no effect if HDR configured with AVCaptureVideoDataOutput
I want to confirm if this is a bug or a programming error. Very easy to reproduce it by modifying AVCam sample code. Steps to reproduce: Add AVCaptureVideoDataOutput to AVCaptureSession, no need to set delegate in AVCam sample code (CaptureService actor) private let videoDataOutput = AVCaptureVideoDataOutput() and then in configureSession method, add the following line try addOutput(videoDataOutput) if videoDataOutput.availableVideoPixelFormatTypes.contains(kCVPixelFormatType_420YpCbCr8BiPlanarFullRange) { videoDataOutput.videoSettings = [kCVPixelBufferPixelFormatTypeKey as AnyHashable as! String : kCVPixelFormatType_420YpCbCr8BiPlanarFullRange] } And next modify set HDR method: /// Sets whether the app captures HDR video. func setHDRVideoEnabled(_ isEnabled: Bool) { // Bracket the following configuration in a begin/commit configuration pair. captureSession.beginConfiguration() defer { captureSession.commitConfiguration() } do { // If the current device provides a 10-bit HDR format, enable it for use. if isEnabled, let format = currentDevice.activeFormat10BitVariant { try currentDevice.lockForConfiguration() currentDevice.activeFormat = format currentDevice.unlockForConfiguration() isHDRVideoEnabled = true if videoDataOutput.availableVideoPixelFormatTypes.contains(kCVPixelFormatType_420YpCbCr10BiPlanarVideoRange) { videoDataOutput.videoSettings = [kCVPixelBufferPixelFormatTypeKey as AnyHashable as! String : kCVPixelFormatType_420YpCbCr10BiPlanarVideoRange] } } else { captureSession.sessionPreset = .high isHDRVideoEnabled = false if videoDataOutput.availableVideoPixelFormatTypes.contains(kCVPixelFormatType_32BGRA) { print("Setting sdr pixel format \(kCVPixelFormatType_32BGRA)") videoDataOutput.videoSettings = [kCVPixelBufferPixelFormatTypeKey as AnyHashable as! String : kCVPixelFormatType_32BGRA] } try currentDevice.lockForConfiguration() currentDevice.activeColorSpace = .sRGB currentDevice.unlockForConfiguration() } } catch { logger.error("Unable to obtain lock on device and can't enable HDR video capture.") } The problem now is toggling HDR on and off no longer works in video mode. If after setting HDR on, you set HDR to off, active format of device does not change (setting sessionPreset has no effect). This does not happen if video data output is not added to session. Is there any workaround available?

Adding AVCaptureMovieFileOutput and AVCaptureVideoDataOutput with ProRes422
Adding both AVCaptureMovieFileOutput and AVCaptureVideoDataOutput is supported in AVCaptureSession as seen in documentation (copied snippet below) but then when AVCaptureDevice is configured with ProRes422 codec, it fails unless one of the two outputs is removed from the capture session. It is very much reproducible on iPhone 14 pro running iOS 26.0. Prior to iOS 16, you can add an AVCaptureVideoDataOutput and an AVCaptureMovieFileOutput to the same session, but only one may have its connection active. If you attempt to enable both connections, the system chooses the movie file output as the active connection and disables the video data output’s connection. For apps that link against iOS 16 or later, this restriction no longer exists.

SwiftUI scroll position targeting buggy with viewAligned scrollTargetBehavior
I have a discrete scrubber implementation (range 0-100) using ScrollView in SwiftUI that fails on the end points. For instance, scrolling it all the way to bottom shows a value of 87 instead of 100. Or if scrolling down by tapping + button incrementally till it reaches the end, it will show the correct value of 100 when it reaches the end. But now, tapping minus button doesn't scrolls the scrubber back till minus button is clicked thrice. I understand this has only to do with scroll target behaviour of .viewAligned but don't understand what exactly is the issue, or if its a bug in SwiftUI. import SwiftUI struct VerticalScrubber: View { var config: ScrubberConfig @Binding var value: CGFloat @State private var scrollPosition: Int? var body: some View { GeometryReader { geometry in let verticalPadding = geometry.size.height / 2 - 8 ZStack(alignment: .trailing) { ScrollView(.vertical, showsIndicators: false) { VStack(spacing: config.spacing) { ForEach(0...(config.steps * config.count), id: \.self) { index in horizontalTickMark(for: index) .id(index) } } .frame(width: 80) .scrollTargetLayout() .safeAreaPadding(.vertical, verticalPadding) } .scrollTargetBehavior(.viewAligned) .scrollPosition(id: $scrollPosition, anchor: .top) Capsule() .frame(width: 32, height: 3) .foregroundColor(.accentColor) .shadow(color: .accentColor.opacity(0.3), radius: 3, x: 0, y: 1) } .frame(width: 100) .onAppear { DispatchQueue.main.async { scrollPosition = Int(value * CGFloat(config.steps)) } } .onChange(of: value, { oldValue, newValue in let newIndex = Int(newValue * CGFloat(config.steps)) print("New index \(newIndex)") if scrollPosition != newIndex { withAnimation { scrollPosition = newIndex print("\(scrollPosition)") } } }) .onChange(of: scrollPosition, { oldIndex, newIndex in guard let pos = newIndex else { return } let newValue = CGFloat(pos) / CGFloat(config.steps) if abs(value - newValue) > 0.001 { value = newValue } }) } } private func horizontalTickMark(for index: Int) -> some View { let isMajorTick = index % config.steps == 0 let tickValue = index / config.steps return HStack(spacing: 8) { Rectangle() .fill(isMajorTick ? Color.accentColor : Color.gray.opacity(0.5)) .frame(width: isMajorTick ? 24 : 12, height: isMajorTick ? 2 : 1) if isMajorTick { Text("\(tickValue * 5)") .font(.system(size: 12, weight: .medium)) .foregroundColor(.primary) .fixedSize() } } .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, alignment: .trailing) .padding(.trailing, 8) } } #Preview("Vertical Scrubber") { struct VerticalScrubberPreview: View { @State private var value: CGFloat = 0 private let config = ScrubberConfig(count: 20, steps: 5, spacing: 8) var body: some View { VStack { Text("Vertical Scrubber (0–100 in steps of 5)") .font(.title2) .padding() HStack(spacing: 30) { VerticalScrubber(config: config, value: $value) .frame(width: 120, height: 300) .background(Color(.systemBackground)) .border(Color.gray.opacity(0.3)) VStack { Text("Current Value:") .font(.headline) Text("\(value * 5, specifier: "%.0f")") .font(.system(size: 36, weight: .bold)) .padding() HStack { Button("−5") { let newValue = max(0, value - 1) if value != newValue { value = newValue UISelectionFeedbackGenerator().selectionChanged() } print("Value \(newValue), \(value)") } .disabled(value <= 0) Button("+5") { let newValue = min(CGFloat(config.count), value + 1) if value != newValue { value = newValue UISelectionFeedbackGenerator().selectionChanged() } print("Value \(newValue), \(value)") } .disabled(value >= CGFloat(config.count)) } .buttonStyle(.bordered) } } Spacer() } .padding() } } return VerticalScrubberPreview() }

AVCaptureSession taking too long in XCode 26 beta 2 debugger
XCode 26 beta 2 is taking more than 20 seconds to start AVCaptureSession when AVCaptureVideoDataOutput and AVCaptureAudioDataOutput are added. The problem occurs only during debugging and is clearly seen with Cinematic Capture sample code by Apple. I am using iPhone 14 Pro running iOS 26 beta 2 for reference.

SwiftUI infinite loop issue with @Environment(\.verticalSizeClass)
I see SwiftUI body being repeatedly called in an infinite loop in the presence of Environment variables like horizontalSizeClass or verticalSizeClass. This happens after device is rotated from portrait to landscape and then back to portrait mode. The deinit method of TestPlayerVM is repeatedly called. Minimally reproducible sample code is pasted below. The infinite loop is not seen if I remove size class environment references, OR, if I skip addPlayerObservers call in the TestPlayerVM initialiser. import AVKit import Combine struct InfiniteLoopView: View { @Environment(\.verticalSizeClass) var verticalSizeClass @Environment(\.horizontalSizeClass) var horizontalSizeClass @State private var openPlayer = false @State var playerURL: URL = URL(fileURLWithPath: Bundle.main.path(forResource: "Test_Video", ofType: ".mov")!) var body: some View { PlayerView(playerURL: playerURL) .ignoresSafeArea() } } struct PlayerView: View { @Environment(\.dismiss) var dismiss var playerURL:URL @State var playerVM = TestPlayerVM() var body: some View { VideoPlayer(player: playerVM.player) .ignoresSafeArea() .background { Color.black } .task { let playerItem = AVPlayerItem(url: playerURL) playerVM.playerItem = playerItem } } } @Observable class TestPlayerVM { private(set) public var player: AVPlayer = AVPlayer() var playerItem:AVPlayerItem? { didSet { player.replaceCurrentItem(with: playerItem) } } private var cancellable = Set<AnyCancellable>() init() { addPlayerObservers() } deinit { print("Deinit Video player manager") removeAllObservers() } private func removeAllObservers() { cancellable.removeAll() } private func addPlayerObservers() { player.publisher(for: \.timeControlStatus, options: [.initial, .new]) .receive(on: DispatchQueue.main) .sink { timeControlStatus in print("Player time control status \(timeControlStatus)") } .store(in: &cancellable) } }
