I'm using AirPods Pro 2 with an iPhone 15 Pro Max. After installing the IOS 26 beta I'm not able to get the new features to work. Does anyone have thoughts or info? Thanks

According the video "Build an AppKit app with the new design" (https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2025/310/), it is now possible to add a badge on a NSToolbarItem object. However, in don't see a badge in the NSToolbar API. The code example in the video includes for example "NSItemBadge.count(4)", but the only Google result for this is the video mentioned above. Is this still work in progress or I'm overlooking something?

I have a toolbar in SwiftUI where two of the buttons are Menus. When I tap on the button the menu animates out into the correct position and then it flys to the top of the screen. When I tap on the menu button I get this. Then within 1 second the menu flys to the top of the screen and looks like this. My toolbar code looks like this. .toolbar { ToolbarItemGroup(placement: .bottomBar) { Menu { Button { markMyLocation() } label: { Label("Mark My Location", systemImage: "location") } ... (MORE BUTTONS) } label: { Image(systemName: "plus") } .menuOrder(.fixed) Spacer() Menu { Button { shareWithWebLink() } label: { Label("Share Map", systemImage: "square.and.arrow.up") } ... (MORE BUTTONS) } label: { Image(systemName: "square.and.arrow.up") } .menuOrder(.fixed) Button { presentHikeView() } label: { Image(systemName: "figure.hiking") } Button { presentMapsView() } label: { Image(systemName: "map") } Spacer() Button { search() } label: { Image(systemName: "magnifyingglass") } } }

Hello, I'm unable to develop for Apple Intelligence on my Mac Studio, M1 Max running macOS 26 beta 1. The models get downloaded and I can also verify that they exist in /System/Library/AssetsV2/ however the download progress remains stuck at 100%. Checking console logs shows the process generativeexperiencesd reporting the following: My device region and language is set to English (India). Things I've already tried: Changing language and region to English (US) Reinstalling macOS Trying with a different ISP via hotspot.

Overview Starting with macOS 26 beta 1, a new NSGlassContainerView is added inside NSToolbarView. This view intercepts mouse events, so any SwiftUI Button (or other interactive view) overlaid on the title‑bar / toolbar area no longer receives clicks. (The same code works fine on macOS 15 and earlier.) Filed as FB18201935 via Feedback Assistant. Reproduction (minimal project) macOS 15 or earlier → button is clickable macOS 26 beta → button cannot be clicked (no highlight, no action call) @main struct Test_macOS26App: App { init() { // Uncomment to work around the issue (see next section) // enableToolbarClickThrough() } var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() } .windowStyle(.hiddenTitleBar) // ⭐️ hide the title bar } } struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { NavigationSplitView { List { Text("sidebar") } } detail: { HSplitView { listWithOverlay listWithOverlay } } } private var listWithOverlay: some View { List(0..<30) { Text("item: \($0)") } .overlay(alignment: .topTrailing) { // ⭐️ overlay in the toolbar area Button("test") { print("test") } .glassEffect() .ignoresSafeArea() } } } Investigation In Xcode View Hierarchy Debugger, a layer chain NSToolbarView > NSGlassContainerView sits in front of the button. -[NSView hitTest:] on NSGlassContainerView returns itself, so the event never reaches the SwiftUI layer. Swizzling hitTest: to return nil when the result is the view itself makes the click go through: func enableToolbarClickThrough() { guard let cls = NSClassFromString("NSGlassContainerView"), let m = class_getInstanceMethod(cls, #selector(NSView.hitTest(_:))) else { return } typealias Fn = @convention(c)(AnyObject, Selector, NSPoint) -> Unmanaged<NSView>? let origIMP = unsafeBitCast(method_getImplementation(m), to: Fn.self) let block: @convention(block)(AnyObject, NSPoint) -> NSView? = { obj, pt in guard let v = origIMP(obj, #selector(NSView.hitTest(_:)), pt)?.takeUnretainedValue() else { return nil } return v === (obj as AnyObject) ? nil : v // ★ make the container transparent } method_setImplementation(m, imp_implementationWithBlock(block)) } Questions / Call for Feedback Is this an intentional behavioral change? If so, what is the recommended public API or pattern for allowing clicks to reach views overlaid behind the toolbar? Any additional data points or confirmations are welcome—please reply if you can reproduce the issue or know of an official workaround. Thanks in advance!

I'm building and running from Xcode 26 to macOS 15.5. On launch, app crashes on start dynamic runtime linking with failure to find _LocationEssentials framework.

Hi! I'm working on a iOS 26 SwiftUI prototype that adds an element to the content of a screen only when the tab bar is fully visible and not minimized (via .tabBarMinimizeBehavior). Is there any way to detect when a tab bar is minimized? My hope is that I can use a ternary operator to display something only when a boolean is true. Here's some code to illustrate my idea: struct ContentView: View { @State var isTabBarMinimized: Bool = false var body: some View { TabView { Tab("View1", systemImage: "rainbow") { // Only appears when tab bar is fully visible Color.blue .opacity(isTabBarMinimized? 0 : 1 ) } Tab("View2", systemImage: "rainbow") { View2() } Tab("View3", systemImage: "rainbow") { View3() } Tab("View4", systemImage: "rainbow") { View4() } } .tabBarMinimizeBehavior(.onScrollDown) } }

When I import both AppIntents and MediaPlayer in the same file, I get the error “No such module '_MediaPlayer_AppIntents’” To reproduce: Create a new project with Xcode 26 beta, selecting storyboard UI and swift language. In ViewController.swift add import AppIntents and import MediaPlayer Build Get the error: “No such module '_MediaPlayer_AppIntents’” Submitted as FB18189693

A few minutes back I filed a feedback assistant issue for this (FB18173706), but I am not sure I filed it in the correct category and I can't find a way to edit it either. So posting this message here just to have to assigned in the right category if appropriate. The issue is as follows. On macOS 26 Tahoe Beta, "man sw_vers" has this among other details: Previous versions of sw_vers respected the SYSTEM_VERSION_COMPAT environment variable to provide compatibility fallback versions for scripts which did not support the macOS 11.0+ version transition. This is no longer supported, versions returned by sw_vers will always reflect the real system version. It says that SYSTEM_VERSION_COMPAT is no longer supported. That doesn't look right, because running sw_vers as follows on macOS 26 Beta results in: SYSTEM_VERSION_COMPAT=1 sw_vers ProductName: macOS ProductVersion: 16.0 BuildVersion: 25A5279m i.e. setting the environment variable SYSTEM_VERSION_COMPAT=1 results in sw_vers reporting the version as 16.0. Now try with SYSTEM_VERSION_COMPAT=0, and the result is: SYSTEM_VERSION_COMPAT=0 sw_vers ProductName: macOS ProductVersion: 26.0 BuildVersion: 25A5279m notice the output says 26.0. So it appears that SYSTEM_VERSION_COMPAT is supported even on macOS 26. I think the man page requires an update to match this behaviour.

I have installed the macOS 26 WWDC beta on a secondary volume, and set it up with two user accounts (both administrators). However, the options for switching users without fully logging out are nowhere to be found. The topic is still included in macOS Help and is shown when searching for “fast” in System Settings, however, the option is hidden/missing in the pref pane when selected. Filed FB18155517 (macOS 26 beta: No Fast User Switching?)

Hi All, I searched for this feedback but didn't see it, so apologies if this has been covered by another thread. Exploring the new camera app, It doesn't seem to recognize that external storage has been connected, so the additional features that allow ProRes high frame rates will throw an error dialog stating that "to use this you need external storage" even when external storage is connected. Using the Files app, the phone recognizes the storage, and this is something I can do with this external storage device on the previous version of IOS. It is clear that this release of the camera has been rewritten significantly since the last version. Is it possible that this is an oversight, a bug, or just functionality that has not been completed? Interested if anybody else is seeing this, or if it is just my setup.

Please see the image for reference. This is a 2020 MBP and ive tried over the past few days and its not recognizing that 26 is available for download. Any suggestions on how to resolve this?

This is my first post, so please forgive me if it is to the wrong area. I've been using Tahoe for a few days and, overall, it's very stable. But the one thing that has bothered me to no end is Safari's new behavior with respect to its header (Address bar, Favorite bookmarks bar, tab bar) background color. The web content of the active tab seems to affect everything - and oftentimes makes things completely unreadable - at least in "Dark" mode. For instance, if a web page uses a white background, the Favorites bookmark labels are the same color as the bookmark background, so reading the labels is simply impossible. At other times, they're just very difficult to read. Similarly, it is almost always impossible to tell which tab is the active one - my only workaround is to try 100% brightness....or to just guess. When Apple previously experimented with letting content bleed through to the top, there was a setting for stopping it - but I don't see such a setting anymore. Do you you know of any way to stop this effect?

In Apple Music I opened fullscreen for a song and I accidentally clicked some keys and the name and artist name of the song I was playing disappeared, and I can't figure out how to get it back, it temporarily comes back when I hover over the top bar but I can not get it to stay there permanently.

Prior to iOS 26, we could set the color of iOS's back button (at left of nav bar) using the line: navigationController?.navigationBar.tintColor = UIColor.red This is not working for me in iOS 26. Anyone get this to work? We can change the tintColor of individual toolbar items that we add, but the back button is system generated.

Trying to submit a build to TF from Xcode 26 via Xcode Cloud (both for iOS and macOS). The operation fails with this message: Missing app icon. Include a large app icon as a 1024 by 1024 pixel PNG for the 'Any Appearance' image well in the asset catalog of apps built for iOS or iPadOS. Without this icon, apps can't be submitted for review. For details, visit: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/configuring-your-app-icon. If you’ve added an icon made with Icon Composer, visit https://developer.apple.com/app-store-connect/release-notes/ for details about known issues. I thought it's because Icon Composer icons may not be supported yet, but then that last sentence is confusing me. Does this mean that TF just won't support Xcode 26 uploads yet, or does it accept them and I need to provide legacy icons for my build?

I just installed macOS Tahoe beta on a mac mini. It says I am not connected to the internet, and attempts to use file sharing fail. Network status says that Ethernet and WiFi are working. Any suggestions?

In iOS 26, the mini keyboard bar does not consistently appear when typing with a hardware keyboard. This behavior differs from iOS 18, where the bar was always visible. See screenshots:

I have a dark background and the initial look of the nav bar is showing like there is a light background. See picture. Has anyone experienced this or know of a solution? If I scroll the table up, it will fix itself and start behaving as I'd expect.
