Tapping a .searchSuggestions item inside a NavigationStack dismisses the search controller
Since iOS26, I've been running into an issue with using a NavigationStack with .searchSuggestions, and using searchable with placement: .navigationBarDrawer(displayMode: .always) With this, the search is activated and search suggestions list is displayed, but tapping on the search suggestions dismisses the whole search control without doing selecting the search suggestion item. This doesn't happen on iPhone, and doesn't happen on iPadOS 18.5 or below. And removing the 'placement' argument also fixes the issue. NavigationStack { List { /// ... } .searchable( text: $searchText, tokens: $searchTokens, isPresented: $isSearchPresented, placement: .navigationBarDrawer(displayMode: .always), prompt: "Search timestamps" ) { token in Label(token.title, systemImage: token.systemImage) } .searchSuggestions { ForEach(suggestedTokens) { token in Label(token.title, systemImage: token.systemImage) .searchCompletion(token) } } .toolbar { ToolbarItem { Button(action: addItem) { Label("Add Item", systemImage: "plus") } } } } I have a test sample app with this, and created FB22639453 The same problem happens in UIKit as well, when using UISearchController with UINavigationItems' searchController.

Invalid parameter not satisfying: parentEnvironment != nil
Since the beta releases of iPadOS 26 we have been having some crashes about Invalid parameter not satisfying: parentEnvironment != nil We got to contact a couple of users and we found out that the crash appears when entering a screen in a UINavigationController with the iPad device connected to a Magic Keyboard. If the device is not connected to the keyboard then nothing happens and everything works ok. From our end we haven't managed to reproduce the crash so I am pasting part of the stacktrace if it can be of any help. 3 UIKitCore 0x19dfd2e14 -[_UIFocusContainerGuideFallbackItemsContainer

Creating playgrounds from a template does nothing
Attempts to create Swift Playgrounds from the built-in templates fail. Clicking the “Get” button on these templates appears to download something, but it changes back into a “Get” button afterwards without creating a playground. Furthermore, the Swift versions of the templates seem to be behind; it shows Swift 5.8 and Swift 5.9 editions whereas it should be Swift 6.x Steps to Reproduce Start the Swift Playground app (the standalone app, not the Xcode one, on macOS or iPadOS). Select “Learn to Code” Choose the “Get Started With Code” template (or any other template will do). Click the Get button. Wait until the Get button becomes a circular progress indicator. Expected Results A new Swift Playground should be created from the selected template. Actual Results The Get button changes into a circular progress indicator and then changes back. No Playground gets created. Versions Swift Playground 4.7 (2088) macOS 26.4.1 (25E253) iPadOS 26.4.2

How to detect iPadOS Slide Over (floating window) from a browser-based web app using JavaScript?
What I am trying to do I am building a browser-based exam proctoring platform that runs in Safari and Chrome on iPad. I need to detect when a candidate opens another app or browser tab in Slide Over (the floating panel) while the exam is running in the background. This is a pure web app - no native wrapper, no MDM. What I've already tried I tried listening to window blur and focus events neither fires when Slide Over is triggered on Chrome. I tried document.visibilitychange - same result, it never fires during Slide Over. I tried the resize event but it is completely inconsistent on iPadOS Chrome. For Split View I am computing the ratio of window.innerWidth to window.screen.width and flagging below 0.80 as a likely split. That works. But Slide Over doesn't change the viewport at all - the exam tab stays full width in the background. So my ratio check is completely blind to it. My question Is there any JavaScript API, browser event, visualViewport property, or any other web-accessible signal that fires or changes when iPadOS enters Slide Over mode — specifically from a page running inside Safari or Chrome (WKWebView)? Even an indirect signal would help. If there's truly no way to detect this from a web page today, is there a recommended pattern or workaround that others have used? I've seen the interaction heartbeat approach (flagging when no pointerdown arrives for N seconds) but that's too noisy for an exam context where a candidate may be reading a long question.

iPadOS 26 - Status bar overlaps with navigation bar
Hello, I'm experiencing a navigation bar positioning issue with my UIKit iPad app on iPadOS 26 (23A340) using Xcode 26 (17A321). The navigation bar positions under the status bar initially, and after orientation changes to landscape, it positions incorrectly below its expected location. This occurs on both real device (iPad mini A17 Pro) and simulator. My app uses UIKit + Storyboard with a Root Navigation Controller. A stack overflow post has reproduce the bug event if it's not in the same configuration: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79752945/xcode-26-beta-6-ipados-26-statusbar-overlaps-with-navigationbar-after-presen I have checked all safe areas and tried changing some constraints, but nothing works. Have you encountered this bug before, or do you need additional information to investigate this issue?

Cellular not initializing on iPadOS 26.4 (resolved by network reset)
We are seeing an issue after updating iPads to iPadOS 26.4 where cellular service is lost until network settings are reset. Environment: Devices managed via Apple Business Manager and Microsoft Intune Carrier: Verizon Confirmed affected devices: iPad (9th generation) eSIM Behavior: After update, device shows no cellular service No prompt to re-activate or re-add the cellular plan The plan appears to still be present on the device Workaround observed: Resetting Network Settings restores service Notes: This does not appear to be a provisioning issue (no need to re-add eSIM) Behavior suggests the cellular/eSIM state may not be initializing correctly after update Toggling Cellular or Airplane mode has not yet been tested for service restoration. We have not yet confirmed whether devices using a physical SIM are affected Still gathering data on scope across additional iPad models Additional observation: We have not observed this behavior on iPhones (e.g., iPhone 16 on iOS 26.4 with LTE remains unaffected) Has anyone else observed similar behavior on iPadOS 26.4, particularly on managed devices or eSIM configurations?

Creating UTImportedTypeDeclarations entries yields duplicate Open menu entry
My iPadOS app can open .xml files. In my XMLApp.swift, I hooked up a: var body: some Scene { WindowGroup(id: "main") { .commands CommandGroup(replacing: .newItem) { ... Button(.openDot) { openXMLFile() } ... Next, I entered a new UTImportedTypeDeclarations / UTExportedTypeDeclarations in Project Settings -> Target -> Info -> Document Types, Exported Type Identifiers, Imported Type Identifiers, for the XML file-type: ... <key>UTImportedTypeDeclarations</key> <array> <dict> <key>UTTypeConformsTo</key> <array> <string>public.data</string> <string>public.xml</string> <string>public.content</string> </array> ... As soon as I do that, Xcode creates an additional Open... menu entry all the way at the bottom of the File menu. I cannot get rid of this additional menu entry. Its state is disabled (grayed out). I have my own Open (per the code above), which also responds to ⌘ - O. My menu entry works fine, as long as I disable the same keyboard shortcut so they don't collide. The extra Open entry is also displayed on the matching iPadOS simulator. From the same codebase, the Open is not displayed on the Mac (targeting macOS, not Catalyst). On macOS, only my Open is in the File menu, as expected. Why is there a duplicate Open menu entry and how do I get rid of it?

iPadOS – WiFi “incorrect password” but WPA2 PSK is correct – need help interpreting sysdiagnose Join logs
Hi everyone, I’m troubleshooting a WiFi issue affecting some iPads on a WPA2-PSK network with captive portal. Problem: The iPad shows “incorrect password” when connecting to the SSID. The password is correct (validated with multiple devices). Other devices connect normally. After entering the password, the captive portal should appear, but it never does. What we see on the network side (Cisco WLC): Client associates successfully. RADIUS authentication is successful. Failure occurs during the 4-way handshake: Received EAPOL-key M2 with invalid MIC This causes deauthentication, which the iPad reports as “incorrect password”. From the iPad sysdiagnose (Entity_Join file): Entity_2026-04-15_10_23_39.529_Join Entity_2026-04-15_10_23_39.529_Join.csv Questions: Does anyone know how to interpret: reason status subReason values in Entity_Join logs? Specifically: What does reason = -3925 mean? What does reason = 1 mean? What does subreason = 524288 mean? Any insight into these codes or similar experiences would be really helpful. Thanks!

Increase Contrast reduces List selection contrast in dark appearance in SwiftUI NavigationSplitView
[Submitted as FB22200608] With Increase Contrast turned on, the selected row highlight in a List behaves inconsistently between light and dark appearance on iPad. In light appearance the blue selection highlight correctly becomes darker, but in dark appearance it becomes lighter instead. The text contrast ratio drops from about 3:1 to about 1.5:1, well below accessibility guidelines. This reproduces both in the simulator and on a physical device. The sample uses a standard SwiftUI List inside NavigationSplitView with built-in selection styling. No custom colors or styling are applied. REPRO STEPS Create a new Multiplatform project. Replace ContentView with code below. Build and run on iPad. Select an item in the list. Turn on Dark appearance (Cmd-Shift-A in Simulator). Turn on Increase Contrast (Cmd-Control-Shift-A in Simulator). Observe the selected row highlight. ACTUAL In light appearance, the blue selection highlight becomes darker when Increase Contrast is on, improving contrast as expected. In dark appearance, the blue selection highlight becomes lighter when Increase Contrast is on, reducing contrast between the selection background and the white text. EXPECTED Increase Contrast should consistently increase contrast. In dark appearance, the selection highlight should become darker—or otherwise increase contrast with the foreground text—not lighter. SAMPLE CODE struct ContentView: View { @State private var selection: String? var body: some View { NavigationSplitView { Text("Sidebar") } content: { List(selection: $selection) { Text("Item One") .tag("One") Text("Item Two") .tag("Two") } } detail: { if let selection { Text(selection) } else { Text("Select an item") } } } } SCREEN RECORDING CONTACTS The Contacts app behaves correctly. When Increase Contrast is turned on, the selection blue becomes darker, improving contrast. PASSWORDS The Passwords app, however, exhibits the issue. With Increase Contrast turned on, the selection blue becomes lighter instead of darker, reducing contrast.

Swipe to go back still broken with Zoom navigation transition.
When you use .navigationTransition(.zoom(sourceID: "placeholder", in: placehoder)) for navigation animation, going back using the swipe gesture is still very buggy on IOS26. I know it has been mentioned in other places like here: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/796805?answerId=856846022#856846022 but nothing seems to have been done to fix this issue. Here is a video showing the bug comparing when the back button is used vs swipe to go back: https://imgur.com/a/JgEusRH I wish there was a way to at least disable the swipe back gesture until this bug is fixed.

Regarding how the book app handles airplane mode.
Hello. I have a question regarding the standard iPadOS Books app. When I try to open a PDF in the standard iPadOS Books app using the sharing function from another app that works offline, the Books app displays the message, "Your iPad is offline. Books could not connect to the Bookstore. Please check your internet connection and try again," and I am unable to open the PDF. Can this problem be resolved by modifying the other app that works offline? Or is this a problem with the Books app itself?

IOS Swift touch screen issue
MyOwnKeyboard Pad app has 4 text views with textfields that use touch screen for editing. There is one view, Compose, that has a textfield and a textview (UIRepresentable). The app enters text into the view using textfield buttons. The app has total control of editing. When entering text if the screen is touched it conflicts the cursor position and creates an "out of bounds" failure. In that view the app does not need any touch events. I need a method in UIRepresentable to disable the touch event. I am not familiar with UIRepresentable as this code was provided by Apple to solve a 16 bit unicode character issue. What would be the code to disable touch events in the UIRepresentable compose view. The app is free for a while until this problem is fixed. It is for iPads 11"+ . The name in the app store is MyOwnKeyboard Pad. I know some great engineer will find the answer. DTS tried. Thanks to all, maybe I'll sell some. Charlie 25mar26

Layout glitch after rotation when using UIWindowScene sizeRestrictions on iPadOS 26
Hi everyone, I am experiencing a strange rendering issue on iPadOS 26 when sizeRestrictions.minimumSize is set on a UIWindowScene. After rotating the device and then rotating it back to the original orientation, the window appears to be stretched based on its previous dimensions. This resulting "stretched" area does not resize or redraw correctly, leaving a significant black region on the screen. Interestingly, as soon as I interact with the window (e.g., a slight drag or touch), the UI snaps back to its intended state and redraws perfectly. Here is a sample code and capture of behavior. class SceneDelegate: UIResponder, UIWindowSceneDelegate { var window: UIWindow? func scene(_ scene: UIScene, willConnectTo session: UISceneSession, options connectionOptions: UIScene.ConnectionOptions) { guard let windowScene = (scene as? UIWindowScene) else { return } windowScene.sizeRestrictions?.minimumSize = CGSize( width: 390, height: 844 // larger than the height of iPad in landscape ) // initialize... } } Has anyone else encountered this behavior? If so, are there any known workarounds to force a layout refresh or prevent this "ghost" black area during the rotation transition? Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Scene resizing on iPad breaks UIPageViewController's setViewControllers
The following is verbatim of a feedback report (FB22367951) I submitted, shared here as someone else might be interested to see it. I have reproduced this bug on iPadOS 26.3.1 (a) and 26.4. During scene resizing on iPad, UIPageViewController's setViewControllers method fails to do its work. The navigation starts and for a brief moment you can see the new view controller coming from the expected direction, but shortly after it fails and stays on the same [current] view controller. It doesn't even call the completion handler when it fails. When the navigation succeeds (due to not resizing a scene during the navigation) after previously failing at least once, the completion handler is sometimes called more than once. I have created a demo project, which I have pushed to this repo: https://github.com/galijot/SceneResize-Breaks-UIPageViewController I have also attached a zip of the project to this report.

TkSmartCard transmitRequest persistently returning Cryptotokenkit error -2 on iOS/iPadOS
We are using the CryptoTokenKit framework, specifically the classes TKSmartCardSlotManager, TKSmartCardSlot, and TKSmartCard, to communicate with smart cards through external USB readers on iOS and iPadOS. In most cases, we are able to detect readers via TKSmartCardSlotManager, and send APDU commands using transmitRequest method, with the following code (where self->_slot and self->_card are previously created TkSmartCardSlot and TkSmartCard, respectively): #import <CryptoTokenKit/CryptoTokenKit.h> - (NSData *)sendCardCommand:(NSData *)command { if (!self->_card || !self->_card.valid || self->_slot.state != TKSmartCardSlotStateValidCard) return nil; NSMutableData *res = [[NSMutableData alloc] init]; NSError *sessionError = nil; [self->_card inSessionWithError:&sessionError executeBlock:^BOOL(NSError **error) { dispatch_semaphore_t semaphore = dispatch_semaphore_create(0); try { [self->_card transmitRequest:command reply:^(NSData * _Nullable response, NSError* _Nullable apduError) { if (apduError != nil) self->_error = apduError; else [res appendData: response]; dispatch_semaphore_signal(semaphore); }]; } catch (NSException *exception) { dispatch_semaphore_signal(semaphore); } dispatch_semaphore_wait(semaphore, DISPATCH_TIME_FOREVER); if (res.length == 0) return NO; return YES; }]; return res; } However, with certain other USB smart card readers, we occasionally encounter APDU communication failures when calling transmitRequest (for instance, with a HID Global OMNIKEY 5422), which returns the following error: "Domain: CryptoTokenKit Code: -2". Once a failure occurs and transmitRequest starts returning this error, all subsequent calls to transmitRequest fail with the same error. This persists even when: A different smart card is inserted The same card is reinserted A different USB reader (previously working correctly) is connected The TKSmartCard object is recreated via makeSmartCard The slot state changes (observed via KVO) All internal objects (TKSmartCard, TKSmartCardSlot) are reset in the application At this point, the system appears to be stuck in a non-recoverable state which affects all readers and cards, including those that were previously functioning correctly. The only way to recover from this state is terminating and restarting the application which is running the code. After restarting the app, everything works normally again. We have created a bug report: FB22339746. The issue has been reproduced on iOS 26.4 and 18.5. Also on iPadOS 18.1. Anyone has already faced a similar issue? Could it be related to some internal state of TKSmartCardSlotManager?

iPadOS 26.1: new issue with traitCollection when changing dark mode
Since iPadOS 26.1 I notice a new annoying bug when changing the dark mode option of the system. The appearance of the UI changes, but no longer for view controllers which are presented as Popover. For these view controllers the method "traitCollectionDidChange()" is still called (though sometimes with a very large delay), but checking the traitCollection property of the view controller in there does no longer return the correct appearance (which is probably why the visual appearance of the popover doesn't change anymore). So if the dark mode was just switched on, traitCollectionDidChange() is called, but the "traitCollection.userInterfaceStyle" property still tells me that the system is in normal mode. More concrete, traitCollection.userInterfaceStyle seems to be set correctly only(!) when opening the popover, and while the popover is open, it is never updated anymore when the dark mode changes. This is also visible in the standard Apps of the iPad, like the Apple Maps App: just tap on the "map" icon at the top right to open the "Map mode" view. While the view is open, change the dark mode. All of the Maps App will change its appearance, with the exception of this "Map mode" view. Does anyone know an easy workaround? Or do I really need to manually change the colors for all popup view controllers whenever the dark mode changes? Using dynamic UIColors won't help, because these rely on the "userInterfaceStyle" property, and this is no longer correct. Bugreport: FB20928471

IOS Safari support for WebTransport
We're developing a service that requires webtransport support in the browser. Currently, the only browser that doesn't provide support is the IOS version of Safari. Our current way forward for client use is to flag iphone and ipad as non compliant and recommend either desktop use or android. Is there any ballpark date as to when WebTransport will be included in IOS Safari (- webkit supports webtransport)?

Tapping a .searchSuggestions item inside a NavigationStack dismisses the search controller
Since iOS26, I've been running into an issue with using a NavigationStack with .searchSuggestions, and using searchable with placement: .navigationBarDrawer(displayMode: .always) With this, the search is activated and search suggestions list is displayed, but tapping on the search suggestions dismisses the whole search control without doing selecting the search suggestion item. This doesn't happen on iPhone, and doesn't happen on iPadOS 18.5 or below. And removing the 'placement' argument also fixes the issue. NavigationStack { List { /// ... } .searchable( text: $searchText, tokens: $searchTokens, isPresented: $isSearchPresented, placement: .navigationBarDrawer(displayMode: .always), prompt: "Search timestamps" ) { token in Label(token.title, systemImage: token.systemImage) } .searchSuggestions { ForEach(suggestedTokens) { token in Label(token.title, systemImage: token.systemImage) .searchCompletion(token) } } .toolbar { ToolbarItem { Button(action: addItem) { Label("Add Item", systemImage: "plus") } } } } I have a test sample app with this, and created FB22639453 The same problem happens in UIKit as well, when using UISearchController with UINavigationItems' searchController.

Invalid parameter not satisfying: parentEnvironment != nil
Since the beta releases of iPadOS 26 we have been having some crashes about Invalid parameter not satisfying: parentEnvironment != nil We got to contact a couple of users and we found out that the crash appears when entering a screen in a UINavigationController with the iPad device connected to a Magic Keyboard. If the device is not connected to the keyboard then nothing happens and everything works ok. From our end we haven't managed to reproduce the crash so I am pasting part of the stacktrace if it can be of any help. 3 UIKitCore 0x19dfd2e14 -[_UIFocusContainerGuideFallbackItemsContainer

Creating playgrounds from a template does nothing
Attempts to create Swift Playgrounds from the built-in templates fail. Clicking the “Get” button on these templates appears to download something, but it changes back into a “Get” button afterwards without creating a playground. Furthermore, the Swift versions of the templates seem to be behind; it shows Swift 5.8 and Swift 5.9 editions whereas it should be Swift 6.x Steps to Reproduce Start the Swift Playground app (the standalone app, not the Xcode one, on macOS or iPadOS). Select “Learn to Code” Choose the “Get Started With Code” template (or any other template will do). Click the Get button. Wait until the Get button becomes a circular progress indicator. Expected Results A new Swift Playground should be created from the selected template. Actual Results The Get button changes into a circular progress indicator and then changes back. No Playground gets created. Versions Swift Playground 4.7 (2088) macOS 26.4.1 (25E253) iPadOS 26.4.2

How to detect iPadOS Slide Over (floating window) from a browser-based web app using JavaScript?
What I am trying to do I am building a browser-based exam proctoring platform that runs in Safari and Chrome on iPad. I need to detect when a candidate opens another app or browser tab in Slide Over (the floating panel) while the exam is running in the background. This is a pure web app - no native wrapper, no MDM. What I've already tried I tried listening to window blur and focus events neither fires when Slide Over is triggered on Chrome. I tried document.visibilitychange - same result, it never fires during Slide Over. I tried the resize event but it is completely inconsistent on iPadOS Chrome. For Split View I am computing the ratio of window.innerWidth to window.screen.width and flagging below 0.80 as a likely split. That works. But Slide Over doesn't change the viewport at all - the exam tab stays full width in the background. So my ratio check is completely blind to it. My question Is there any JavaScript API, browser event, visualViewport property, or any other web-accessible signal that fires or changes when iPadOS enters Slide Over mode — specifically from a page running inside Safari or Chrome (WKWebView)? Even an indirect signal would help. If there's truly no way to detect this from a web page today, is there a recommended pattern or workaround that others have used? I've seen the interaction heartbeat approach (flagging when no pointerdown arrives for N seconds) but that's too noisy for an exam context where a candidate may be reading a long question.

iPadOS 26 - Status bar overlaps with navigation bar
Hello, I'm experiencing a navigation bar positioning issue with my UIKit iPad app on iPadOS 26 (23A340) using Xcode 26 (17A321). The navigation bar positions under the status bar initially, and after orientation changes to landscape, it positions incorrectly below its expected location. This occurs on both real device (iPad mini A17 Pro) and simulator. My app uses UIKit + Storyboard with a Root Navigation Controller. A stack overflow post has reproduce the bug event if it's not in the same configuration: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79752945/xcode-26-beta-6-ipados-26-statusbar-overlaps-with-navigationbar-after-presen I have checked all safe areas and tried changing some constraints, but nothing works. Have you encountered this bug before, or do you need additional information to investigate this issue?

Cellular not initializing on iPadOS 26.4 (resolved by network reset)
We are seeing an issue after updating iPads to iPadOS 26.4 where cellular service is lost until network settings are reset. Environment: Devices managed via Apple Business Manager and Microsoft Intune Carrier: Verizon Confirmed affected devices: iPad (9th generation) eSIM Behavior: After update, device shows no cellular service No prompt to re-activate or re-add the cellular plan The plan appears to still be present on the device Workaround observed: Resetting Network Settings restores service Notes: This does not appear to be a provisioning issue (no need to re-add eSIM) Behavior suggests the cellular/eSIM state may not be initializing correctly after update Toggling Cellular or Airplane mode has not yet been tested for service restoration. We have not yet confirmed whether devices using a physical SIM are affected Still gathering data on scope across additional iPad models Additional observation: We have not observed this behavior on iPhones (e.g., iPhone 16 on iOS 26.4 with LTE remains unaffected) Has anyone else observed similar behavior on iPadOS 26.4, particularly on managed devices or eSIM configurations?

Creating UTImportedTypeDeclarations entries yields duplicate Open menu entry
My iPadOS app can open .xml files. In my XMLApp.swift, I hooked up a: var body: some Scene { WindowGroup(id: "main") { .commands CommandGroup(replacing: .newItem) { ... Button(.openDot) { openXMLFile() } ... Next, I entered a new UTImportedTypeDeclarations / UTExportedTypeDeclarations in Project Settings -> Target -> Info -> Document Types, Exported Type Identifiers, Imported Type Identifiers, for the XML file-type: ... <key>UTImportedTypeDeclarations</key> <array> <dict> <key>UTTypeConformsTo</key> <array> <string>public.data</string> <string>public.xml</string> <string>public.content</string> </array> ... As soon as I do that, Xcode creates an additional Open... menu entry all the way at the bottom of the File menu. I cannot get rid of this additional menu entry. Its state is disabled (grayed out). I have my own Open (per the code above), which also responds to ⌘ - O. My menu entry works fine, as long as I disable the same keyboard shortcut so they don't collide. The extra Open entry is also displayed on the matching iPadOS simulator. From the same codebase, the Open is not displayed on the Mac (targeting macOS, not Catalyst). On macOS, only my Open is in the File menu, as expected. Why is there a duplicate Open menu entry and how do I get rid of it?

iPadOS – WiFi “incorrect password” but WPA2 PSK is correct – need help interpreting sysdiagnose Join logs
Hi everyone, I’m troubleshooting a WiFi issue affecting some iPads on a WPA2-PSK network with captive portal. Problem: The iPad shows “incorrect password” when connecting to the SSID. The password is correct (validated with multiple devices). Other devices connect normally. After entering the password, the captive portal should appear, but it never does. What we see on the network side (Cisco WLC): Client associates successfully. RADIUS authentication is successful. Failure occurs during the 4-way handshake: Received EAPOL-key M2 with invalid MIC This causes deauthentication, which the iPad reports as “incorrect password”. From the iPad sysdiagnose (Entity_Join file): Entity_2026-04-15_10_23_39.529_Join Entity_2026-04-15_10_23_39.529_Join.csv Questions: Does anyone know how to interpret: reason status subReason values in Entity_Join logs? Specifically: What does reason = -3925 mean? What does reason = 1 mean? What does subreason = 524288 mean? Any insight into these codes or similar experiences would be really helpful. Thanks!

Increase Contrast reduces List selection contrast in dark appearance in SwiftUI NavigationSplitView
[Submitted as FB22200608] With Increase Contrast turned on, the selected row highlight in a List behaves inconsistently between light and dark appearance on iPad. In light appearance the blue selection highlight correctly becomes darker, but in dark appearance it becomes lighter instead. The text contrast ratio drops from about 3:1 to about 1.5:1, well below accessibility guidelines. This reproduces both in the simulator and on a physical device. The sample uses a standard SwiftUI List inside NavigationSplitView with built-in selection styling. No custom colors or styling are applied. REPRO STEPS Create a new Multiplatform project. Replace ContentView with code below. Build and run on iPad. Select an item in the list. Turn on Dark appearance (Cmd-Shift-A in Simulator). Turn on Increase Contrast (Cmd-Control-Shift-A in Simulator). Observe the selected row highlight. ACTUAL In light appearance, the blue selection highlight becomes darker when Increase Contrast is on, improving contrast as expected. In dark appearance, the blue selection highlight becomes lighter when Increase Contrast is on, reducing contrast between the selection background and the white text. EXPECTED Increase Contrast should consistently increase contrast. In dark appearance, the selection highlight should become darker—or otherwise increase contrast with the foreground text—not lighter. SAMPLE CODE struct ContentView: View { @State private var selection: String? var body: some View { NavigationSplitView { Text("Sidebar") } content: { List(selection: $selection) { Text("Item One") .tag("One") Text("Item Two") .tag("Two") } } detail: { if let selection { Text(selection) } else { Text("Select an item") } } } } SCREEN RECORDING CONTACTS The Contacts app behaves correctly. When Increase Contrast is turned on, the selection blue becomes darker, improving contrast. PASSWORDS The Passwords app, however, exhibits the issue. With Increase Contrast turned on, the selection blue becomes lighter instead of darker, reducing contrast.

Swipe to go back still broken with Zoom navigation transition.
When you use .navigationTransition(.zoom(sourceID: "placeholder", in: placehoder)) for navigation animation, going back using the swipe gesture is still very buggy on IOS26. I know it has been mentioned in other places like here: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/796805?answerId=856846022#856846022 but nothing seems to have been done to fix this issue. Here is a video showing the bug comparing when the back button is used vs swipe to go back: https://imgur.com/a/JgEusRH I wish there was a way to at least disable the swipe back gesture until this bug is fixed.

Regarding how the book app handles airplane mode.
Hello. I have a question regarding the standard iPadOS Books app. When I try to open a PDF in the standard iPadOS Books app using the sharing function from another app that works offline, the Books app displays the message, "Your iPad is offline. Books could not connect to the Bookstore. Please check your internet connection and try again," and I am unable to open the PDF. Can this problem be resolved by modifying the other app that works offline? Or is this a problem with the Books app itself?

IOS Swift touch screen issue
MyOwnKeyboard Pad app has 4 text views with textfields that use touch screen for editing. There is one view, Compose, that has a textfield and a textview (UIRepresentable). The app enters text into the view using textfield buttons. The app has total control of editing. When entering text if the screen is touched it conflicts the cursor position and creates an "out of bounds" failure. In that view the app does not need any touch events. I need a method in UIRepresentable to disable the touch event. I am not familiar with UIRepresentable as this code was provided by Apple to solve a 16 bit unicode character issue. What would be the code to disable touch events in the UIRepresentable compose view. The app is free for a while until this problem is fixed. It is for iPads 11"+ . The name in the app store is MyOwnKeyboard Pad. I know some great engineer will find the answer. DTS tried. Thanks to all, maybe I'll sell some. Charlie 25mar26

Layout glitch after rotation when using UIWindowScene sizeRestrictions on iPadOS 26
Hi everyone, I am experiencing a strange rendering issue on iPadOS 26 when sizeRestrictions.minimumSize is set on a UIWindowScene. After rotating the device and then rotating it back to the original orientation, the window appears to be stretched based on its previous dimensions. This resulting "stretched" area does not resize or redraw correctly, leaving a significant black region on the screen. Interestingly, as soon as I interact with the window (e.g., a slight drag or touch), the UI snaps back to its intended state and redraws perfectly. Here is a sample code and capture of behavior. class SceneDelegate: UIResponder, UIWindowSceneDelegate { var window: UIWindow? func scene(_ scene: UIScene, willConnectTo session: UISceneSession, options connectionOptions: UIScene.ConnectionOptions) { guard let windowScene = (scene as? UIWindowScene) else { return } windowScene.sizeRestrictions?.minimumSize = CGSize( width: 390, height: 844 // larger than the height of iPad in landscape ) // initialize... } } Has anyone else encountered this behavior? If so, are there any known workarounds to force a layout refresh or prevent this "ghost" black area during the rotation transition? Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Scene resizing on iPad breaks UIPageViewController's setViewControllers
The following is verbatim of a feedback report (FB22367951) I submitted, shared here as someone else might be interested to see it. I have reproduced this bug on iPadOS 26.3.1 (a) and 26.4. During scene resizing on iPad, UIPageViewController's setViewControllers method fails to do its work. The navigation starts and for a brief moment you can see the new view controller coming from the expected direction, but shortly after it fails and stays on the same [current] view controller. It doesn't even call the completion handler when it fails. When the navigation succeeds (due to not resizing a scene during the navigation) after previously failing at least once, the completion handler is sometimes called more than once. I have created a demo project, which I have pushed to this repo: https://github.com/galijot/SceneResize-Breaks-UIPageViewController I have also attached a zip of the project to this report.

TkSmartCard transmitRequest persistently returning Cryptotokenkit error -2 on iOS/iPadOS
We are using the CryptoTokenKit framework, specifically the classes TKSmartCardSlotManager, TKSmartCardSlot, and TKSmartCard, to communicate with smart cards through external USB readers on iOS and iPadOS. In most cases, we are able to detect readers via TKSmartCardSlotManager, and send APDU commands using transmitRequest method, with the following code (where self->_slot and self->_card are previously created TkSmartCardSlot and TkSmartCard, respectively): #import <CryptoTokenKit/CryptoTokenKit.h> - (NSData *)sendCardCommand:(NSData *)command { if (!self->_card || !self->_card.valid || self->_slot.state != TKSmartCardSlotStateValidCard) return nil; NSMutableData *res = [[NSMutableData alloc] init]; NSError *sessionError = nil; [self->_card inSessionWithError:&sessionError executeBlock:^BOOL(NSError **error) { dispatch_semaphore_t semaphore = dispatch_semaphore_create(0); try { [self->_card transmitRequest:command reply:^(NSData * _Nullable response, NSError* _Nullable apduError) { if (apduError != nil) self->_error = apduError; else [res appendData: response]; dispatch_semaphore_signal(semaphore); }]; } catch (NSException *exception) { dispatch_semaphore_signal(semaphore); } dispatch_semaphore_wait(semaphore, DISPATCH_TIME_FOREVER); if (res.length == 0) return NO; return YES; }]; return res; } However, with certain other USB smart card readers, we occasionally encounter APDU communication failures when calling transmitRequest (for instance, with a HID Global OMNIKEY 5422), which returns the following error: "Domain: CryptoTokenKit Code: -2". Once a failure occurs and transmitRequest starts returning this error, all subsequent calls to transmitRequest fail with the same error. This persists even when: A different smart card is inserted The same card is reinserted A different USB reader (previously working correctly) is connected The TKSmartCard object is recreated via makeSmartCard The slot state changes (observed via KVO) All internal objects (TKSmartCard, TKSmartCardSlot) are reset in the application At this point, the system appears to be stuck in a non-recoverable state which affects all readers and cards, including those that were previously functioning correctly. The only way to recover from this state is terminating and restarting the application which is running the code. After restarting the app, everything works normally again. We have created a bug report: FB22339746. The issue has been reproduced on iOS 26.4 and 18.5. Also on iPadOS 18.1. Anyone has already faced a similar issue? Could it be related to some internal state of TKSmartCardSlotManager?

iPadOS 26 Crash when num pad with floating keyboard in presented view
Build the sample code below, type something in the textfield (make sure the num pad is a popup and that the text keyboard is floating). And tap multiple times outside of the textfield in the sheet. That will lead to the crash: *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSGenericException', reason: 'Unable to activate constraint with anchors <NSLayoutYAxisAnchor:0x60000179cec0 "UIView:0x103c52fe0.top"> and <NSLayoutYAxisAnchor:0x6000017e0800 "_UIRemoteKeyboardPlaceholderView:0x103baa240.bottom"> because they have no common ancestor. Does the constraint or its anchors reference items in different view hierarchies? That's illegal.' terminating due to uncaught exception of type NSException CoreSimulator 1051.17.8 - Device: iPad Pro 13-inch (M5) (655000D7-41BC-4B13-BD07-BBA80D892E97) - Runtime: iOS 26.2 (23C54) - DeviceType: iPad Pro 13-inch (M5) Does anyone have the slightest idea of a workaround? I can't find one. import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { Text("Content") .sheet(isPresented: .constant(true)) { PresentedView() } } } struct PresentedView: View { @State private var text = "" var body: some View { ScrollView { VStack { TextField("Placeholder", text: $text) .keyboardType(.numberPad) } .padding(80) } } } See here for discussion and video to reproduce: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79905933/ipados-26-crash-when-floating-num-pad-in-presented-view

iPadOS 26.1: new issue with traitCollection when changing dark mode
Since iPadOS 26.1 I notice a new annoying bug when changing the dark mode option of the system. The appearance of the UI changes, but no longer for view controllers which are presented as Popover. For these view controllers the method "traitCollectionDidChange()" is still called (though sometimes with a very large delay), but checking the traitCollection property of the view controller in there does no longer return the correct appearance (which is probably why the visual appearance of the popover doesn't change anymore). So if the dark mode was just switched on, traitCollectionDidChange() is called, but the "traitCollection.userInterfaceStyle" property still tells me that the system is in normal mode. More concrete, traitCollection.userInterfaceStyle seems to be set correctly only(!) when opening the popover, and while the popover is open, it is never updated anymore when the dark mode changes. This is also visible in the standard Apps of the iPad, like the Apple Maps App: just tap on the "map" icon at the top right to open the "Map mode" view. While the view is open, change the dark mode. All of the Maps App will change its appearance, with the exception of this "Map mode" view. Does anyone know an easy workaround? Or do I really need to manually change the colors for all popup view controllers whenever the dark mode changes? Using dynamic UIColors won't help, because these rely on the "userInterfaceStyle" property, and this is no longer correct. Bugreport: FB20928471

IOS Safari support for WebTransport
We're developing a service that requires webtransport support in the browser. Currently, the only browser that doesn't provide support is the IOS version of Safari. Our current way forward for client use is to flag iphone and ipad as non compliant and recommend either desktop use or android. Is there any ballpark date as to when WebTransport will be included in IOS Safari (- webkit supports webtransport)?
