Siri AI + Schema .system.open
Since iOS 18, I have an OpenIntent to open documents. For Siri AI, I understood that I need to annotate the entity with @AppIntent(schema: .system.open) for Siri AI to be able to open documents. This is only supported starting with iOS 27. I tried duplicating the intent (one for iOS 27, one for the other versions), however, Xcode complains and says that only one OpenIntent is possible per target entity. How are we supposed to: support Siri AI "open" functionality preserve functionality for older iOS versions ? Thank you

iOS 27 + RecognizedText misses lines
I'm using the iOS 18+ RecognizedTextRequest, and with no change of code, iOS 27 gives poorer results: lines are dropped, all the text is not recognized it's not my code, because Live Text has the same issue and of course, back to 26 or 18 solves the issue What changed? Only interesting infos I could isolate: The simulator has not the issue Squashing the image horizontally (80% of its width for example) makes the detection significantly better

StoreKit 2: New offer code NOT in Transaction.currentEntitlements()
This is production issue with a user completely stuck: User entered an offer code for 1 year free --> validated under iOS > Apple Account > subscriptions: it correctly shows a 1 year free trial But the transaction is not listed in his Transaction.currentEntitlements() Even after a restore (App.sync()) The Apple Account has always been the same (no mix) This is with the new offer codes introduced in 2026 Also, user wanted to pay the subscription himself in order to unlock the situation, he cannot because of the 'active' offer. Tried giving him another code, but it's refused by the system because there is only one active. Urgent help would be greatly appreciated. func readEntitlements(fromDeferredTransaction: Bool = false) async { var purchasedNonConsumables: [Product] = [] var purchasedSubscriptions: [Product] = [] var purchasedNonRenewableSubscriptions: [Product] = [] var activeSubTransactions: [Transaction] = [] //Iterate through all of the user's purchased products. for await result in Transaction.currentEntitlements { // currentEntitlements is a StoreKit2 useful feature that only gives us the relevant transactions (not the old & expired ones) do { //Check whether the transaction is verified.

iOS 27+26+18: Spotlight only finds title, not textContent nor contentDescription.
Related feedback: FB16995719 This is an old one, that has not been solved in iOS 27. This is very annoying since iOS 27 brings new AI stuff to Spotlight, that can't be used because of this bug.

CMAltimeter stops delivering updates for a while then resumes
On Apple Watch (reported several times, but also on a powerful Ultra3), the CMAltimeter occasionally stops delivering updates for a while (a couple of minutes) then resumes. This makes for a terrible user experience. What could cause this? Is there a way to (best case) prevent this, or (workaround) detect it? This is production critical, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot!

iOS 18 new RecognizedTextRequest DEADLOCKS if more than 2 are run in parallel
Following WWDC24 video "Discover Swift enhancements in the Vision framework" recommendations (cfr video at 10'41"), I used the following code to perform multiple new iOS 18 `RecognizedTextRequest' in parallel. Problem: if more than 2 request are run in parallel, the request will hang, leaving the app in a state where no more requests can be started. -> deadlock I tried other ways to run the requests, but no matter the method employed, or what device I use: no more than 2 requests can ever be run in parallel. func triggerDeadlock() {} try await withThrowingTaskGroup(of: Void.self) { group in // See: WWDC 2024 Discover Siwft enhancements in the Vision framework at 10:41 // ############## THIS IS KEY let maxOCRTasks = 5 // On a real-device, if more than 2 RecognizeTextRequest are launched in parallel using tasks, the request hangs // ############## THIS IS KEY for idx in 0..<maxOCRTasks { let url = ... // URL to some image group.addTask { // Perform OCR let _ = await performOCRRequest(on: url: url) } } var nextIndex = maxOCRTasks for try await _ in group { // Wait for the result of the next child task that finished if nextIndex < pageCount { group.addTask { let url = ... // URL to some image // Perform OCR let _ = await performOCRRequest(on: url: url) } nextIndex += 1 } } } } // MARK: - ASYNC/AWAIT version with iOS 18 @available(iOS 18, *) func performOCRRequest(on url: URL) async throws -> [RecognizedText] { // Create request var request = RecognizeTextRequest() // Single request: no need for ImageRequestHandler // Configure request request.recognitionLevel = .accurate request.automaticallyDetectsLanguage = true request.usesLanguageCorrection = true request.minimumTextHeightFraction = 0.016 // Perform request let textObservations: [RecognizedTextObservation] = try await request.perform(on: url) // Convert [RecognizedTextObservation] to [RecognizedText] return textObservations.compactMap { observation in observation.topCandidates(1).first } } I also found this Swift forums post mentioning something very similar.

AppIntents + CSSearchableItemAttributeSet: only displayName indexed?
On iOS 18, I'm trying to index documents in Spotlight using the new combination of AppIntents+IndexedEntity. However, I don't seem to be able to index the textContent of the document. Only the displayName seems to be indexed. As recommended, I start with the defaultAttributeSet: /// I call this function to index in Spotlight static func indexInSpotlight(document: Document) async { do { if let entity = document.toEntity { try await CSSearchableIndex.default().indexAppEntities([entity]) } } catch { DLog("Spotlight: could not index document: \(document.name ??

Thanks :-)

VNRecognizeTextRequest: .automatic vs specific language: different results?
Hi, One can configure the languages of a (VN)RecognizeTextRequest with either: .automatic: language to be detected a specific language, say Spanish If the request is configured with .automatic and successfully detects Spanish, will the results be exactly equivalent compared to a request made with Spanish set as language? I could not find any information about this, and this is very important for the core architecture of my app. Thanks!

CMAltimeter becomes somehow uncalibrated: absolute locations not delivered anymore (temporarily)
Note: I have had issues with CMAltimeter since whats seems to have been a major undocumented modification since iOS 17.4. So I'm using the CMAltimeter absolute locations delivery. Sometimes, the altimeter seems to be in an uncalibrated mode and therefore, no altitude delivery happens. Is there a way to be inform of such state? Currently, it just doesn't work and I can't inform the user about this. They just think the app is broken What message should I give to the users to accelerate the calibration such that the CMAltimeter will work again? Also, users have reported that the CMAltimeter can temporarily stop delivering altitude updates, even though it should. So I guess my question resumes to this: Whats the best practice to handle an uncalibrated CMAltimeter? Thanks!

StoreKit2: Transaction.currentEntitlements returns expired subscriptions (Testing locally with shortened sub periods)
Hi, title says it all: I have Transaction.currentEntitlements returning expired subscriptions (testing both transaction expirationDate & RenewalState). Environment: local via .storekit file. Subscription duration is shortened for testing. Could it be the issue? The sub duration is normally 1 year. The documentation says it should only returns active subscription (RenewalState.subscribed) or in grace period (RenewalState.inGracePeriod).

iOS 18.2 crash on CGImageDestinationFinalize
My app reports a lot of crashes from 18.2 users. I have been able to narrow down the issue to this line of code: CGImageDestinationFinalize(imageDestination) The error is Thread 93: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code=1, address=0x146318000) But I have no idea why this suddently started to crash. Here is the code of the function: private func estimateSizeUsingThumbnailMethod(fromImageURL url: URL, imageSettings: ImageSettings) -> (Int, Int) { let sourceOptions = [kCGImageSourceShouldCache: false] as CFDictionary guard let source = CGImageSourceCreateWithURL(url as CFURL, sourceOptions), let imageProperties = CGImageSourceCopyPropertiesAtIndex(source, 0, nil) as? [CFString: Any], let imageWidth = imageProperties[kCGImagePropertyPixelWidth] as? CGFloat, let imageHeight = imageProperties[kCGImagePropertyPixelHeight] as? CGFloat else { return (0, 0) } let maxImageSize = max(imageWidth, imageHeight) let thumbMaxSize = min(2400, maxImageSize) // Use original size if possible, but not if larger than 2400, in this case we'll extrapolate from thumbnail let downsampleOptions = [ kCGImageSourceCreateThumbnailFromImageAlways: true, kCGImageSourceCreateThumbnailWithTransform: true, kCGImageSourceThumbnailMaxPixelSize: thumbMaxSize as CFNumber, ] as CFDictionary guard let cgImage = CGImageSourceCreateThumbnailAtIndex(source, 0, downsampleOptions) else { DLog("CGImage thumb creation error") return (0, 0) } let data = NSMutableData() guard let imageDestination = CGImageDestinationCreateWithData(data, UTType.jpeg.identifier as CFString, 1, nil) else { DLog("CGImage destination creation error") return (0, 0) } let destinationProperties = [ kCGImageDestinationLossyCompressionQuality: imageSettings.quality.compressionRatio() // Set jpeg compression ratio ] as CFDictionary CGImageDestinationAddImage(imageDestination, cgImage, destinationProperties) CGImageDestinationFinalize(imageDestination) // <----- CRASHES HERE with EXC_BAD_ACCESS ... } So far, I'm stuck. Any idea that could help would be greatly appreciated, as I'm scared that this crash will propagate on the official release of 18.2

Change VNDocumentCameraViewController 'done' button color on iOS 26
The design of VNDocumentCameraViewController has been updated with iOS 26. Now the 'done' button that appears when at least one page has been scanned is by default in blue (liquid glass). Changing the navBar or the barButtonItems tintColor does not work. So, how does one change the color of this button to match the app's color? Thank you very much!

CGFloat else { return (0, 0) } let maxImageSize = max(imageWidth, imageHeight) let thumbMaxSize = min(2400, maxImageSize) // Use original size if possible, but not if larger than 2400, in this case we'll extrapolate from thumbnail let downsampleOptions = [ kCGImageSourceCreateThumbnailFromImageAlways: true, kCGImageSourceCreateThumbnailWithTransform: true, kCGImageSourceThumbnailMaxPixelSize: thumbMaxSize as CFNumber, ] as CFDictionary guard let cgImage = CGImageSourceCreateThumbnailAtIndex(source, 0, downsampleOptions) else { DLog("CGImage thumb creation error") return (0, 0) } let data = NSMutableData() guard let imageDestination = CGImageDestinationCreateWithData(data, UTType.jpeg.identifier as CFString, 1, nil) else { DLog("CGImage destination creation error") return (0, 0) } let destinationProperties = [ kCGImageDestinationLossyCompressionQuality: imageSettings.quality.compressionRatio() // Set jpeg compression ratio ] as CFDictionary CGImageDestinationAddImage(imageDestination, cgImage, destinationProperties) CGImageDestinationFinalize(imageDestination) // <----- CRASHES HERE with EXC_BAD_ACCESS ... } So far, I'm stuck. Any idea that could help would be greatly appreciated, as I'm scared that this crash will propagate on the official release of 18.2

iPadOS 18: hidesBottomBarWhenPushed does not work
Before iPadOS 18, I was using hidesBottomBarWhenPushed, and it worked beautifully. Now, it's broken/not working. How are we supposed to hide the new tab bar nowadays?
