On iPadOS 27.0 beta 4, SwiftUI views hosted inside UIKit-managed containers/overlays can be laid out incorrectly. The same app and same code work correctly on iPadOS 26.x release versions. One visible example is the app’s About dialog. The dialog is implemented as a UIKit UIViewController presented with UIModalPresentationFormSheet. Inside that controller, a UIHostingController is added as a child view controller, and the hosting controller’s view is constrained to all four edges of the parent view. The SwiftUI root view is a VStack containing the app icon, app name, version, text, links, and buttons. Expected behavior: The SwiftUI content should be vertically centered inside the form sheet. The app icon should appear above the app title, followed by the version, text, links, and buttons. This is the behavior on iPadOS 26.x. Actual behavior on iPadOS 27.0 beta 4: When the About dialog is opened immediately after launching the app, this issue occurs intermittently. The form sheet itself appears, but the SwiftUI content is shifted upward. The app icon is missing or clipped, the title starts too close to the top edge of the sheet, and a large empty area appears at the bottom of the sheet. This is not limited to the About dialog. Similar layout issues can also appear in other SwiftUI-hosted UI surfaces in the app. The issue also appears to be affected by system-level UI changes: If I put the app into windowed mode and resize the whole app window, the layout inside the dialog recovers and becomes correct. The issue only occurs with some probability the first time this dialog is opened after launching the app. After the layout is restored by resizing the app window, the issue does not appear again as long as the app process is not terminated. This suggests the problem may be related to an incorrect initial layout pass, cached geometry, trait/safe-area propagation, or UIHostingController layout invalidation after the app/window scene is first created.

App id: 6755103808 Previous post: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/836714 What can I do about this ?

Hi, my app 6755103808 has been "waiting for review" since Jun. 23, 2026. Already requested a expedited review last Friday (Jun. 26) Although I've submitted updates frequently in the past, “Waiting for Review” has never taken this long. I hope review will start soon.

One of my users updated his iPhone 16 Pro to iOS 26.5, and Apple TV to tvOS 26.5, both of them unable to pair a Microsoft Xbox One (Model 1708) gamepad, before updating (updated from iOS 18.x) it works normally. He also got an old iPhone on iOS 16.7 which was working fine with that gamepad. Any one met the same issue? feedback no. FB22809309

Hi Apple team, Game Mode was introduced in iOS 18. To activate Game Mode, an app must include specific key-value pairs in its *.plist and be categorized as a "Game" on the App Store. My app (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/voidlink/id6747717070) works primarily as a self-hosted game streaming (PC->iPhone/iPad) client. Game Mode provides clear benefits in terms of latency and frame rate stability, but it can currently only be activated when running via Xcode or TestFlight. I am an individual iOS developer based in China, where an additional government license is required for apps to be listed under the "Game" category on the App Store. Obtaining such a license is very difficult for independent developers, so my app has been categorized under "Utilities" instead.(If move the app to game category, it will disappear from Chinese App Store immediately) Expectation / Suggestion: Please consider making Game Mode available as a local, user-controllable option on iOS18/26+, such as through a system “App Pool” where users can choose which apps to enable Game Mode for, regardless of App Store category. This would greatly benefit use cases like streaming clients, benchmarking tools, and remote play utilities, without requiring developers to reclassify their apps as “Games” on App Store.

Just found out this key available for visionOS https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/entitlements/com.apple.developer.low-latency-streaming It seems to keep video streaming from being interrupted by AWDL, our community needs it badly for self-hosted game streaming (PC to iPhone / iPad). Related apps: Moonlight / VoidLink / SteamLink. Can we expect this on iOS/iPadOS 26, or even iOS/iPadOS 18 ?
