When presenting CPNavigationAlert the navigation bar will appear
In my CarPlay app, I am hiding the navigation bar by using the following: self.mapTemplate?.automaticallyHidesNavigationBar = true self.mapTemplate?.hidesButtonsWithNavigationBar = false I don't want the navigation bar to show unless a user interacts with the map by tapping it. Strangely, when I present a CPNavigationAlert the navigation bar will often appear and then disappear after the alert is dismissed. Is there a setting or reason that the navigation bar would be appearing when presenting this alert? I would like to keep the nav bar hidden during this time.

LazyVGrid (embedded in a List) does not resize automatically when content increases and layout changes
I have a List in a sidebar style which contains a LazyVGrid and a Section with a simple list contents. Every thing works well except when content increases and layout changes (from two columns to one column) for the LazyVGrid with editMode changing to .active ... LazyVGrid does not expand/resize when the content increases (the increased content gets clipped)...but does when user expands/folds on the section below :(. However LazyVGrid resizes to show the entire content when the content shrinks with editMode reverting to .inactive Note: If I replace the List with a ScrollView...lazyVGrid resizes perfectly when content increases in editMode = .active....but then I would lose all the Sidebar and List characteristics for the Section below :( Also, looks like .onMove is not supported in LazyVGrids Any pointers to solve the LazyVGrid (embedded in a List) not resizing or expanding when content increases ... will be deeply appreciated. var body: some View {         List {             LazyVGrid(columns: editMode?.wrappedValue == .active ? singleColumn : twoColumns, alignment: .leading, spacing: 10) {                 ForEach(editMode?.wrappedValue == .active ? allDashItems : selectedDashItems) { dashitem in                     DashItemCell(dashitem)                                         }                 .onMove(perform: moveDashItem)                 .environment(\.editMode, editMode)             }             Section(header: Text("Bottom Section")) {                     ForEach (sectionList)	{ item in                         ListItemCell(item)                     }                     .onDelete(perform: deleteFolder)                     .onMove(perform: moveFolder)                 }         }         .listStyle(SidebarListStyle()) }

Extra spacing above scrollview
I have a fairly simple view that consists of a tile and below it a horizontal scrollview. This display with a large gap between the title and the scrollview and I want the title sitting on top of the scrollview -- maybe 2 or 4 point gap. The current gap looks like 80 points or so. Code: let section: Section let userLevel: Int let stringsViewModel: StringsViewModel let onItemSelected: (AudioItem) -> Void var body: some View { VStack(alignment: .leading, spacing: 0) { Text(section.title) .font(.system(size: 18, weight: .medium)) .foregroundColor(.white) .padding(.leading, 16) ScrollView(.horizontal, showsIndicators: false) { HStack(spacing: 16) { ForEach(section.items, id: \.titleKey) { item in MeditationItemView(audioItem: item, userLevel: userLevel, stringsViewModel: stringsViewModel) .onTapGesture { onItemSelected(item) } } } .padding(.leading, 0) .padding(.trailing, 16) } } .padding(.leading, 16) } }

iOS 18.4 Beta: On iPhones which support Dynamic Island, the AppDelegate method applicationDidBecomeActive() takes longer to be called.
When testing with iOS 18.4 Beta on iPhones which support Dynamic Island, after doing a Face ID authentication, the amount of time it takes before the AppDelegate method applicationDidBecomeActive() is called takes longer than iPhones that do not support Dynamic Island. The time it takes is about double, 1.2 seconds vs 2.5 seconds on average. This does not occur with versions before 18.4 Beta. Anyone else seeing this?

Opening a New Document from File URL?
I have a sample document-based macOS app. I understand that you can open a new window or a new tab with some text. import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @Binding var document: TexDocument @Environment(\.newDocument) var newDocument var body: some View { VStack(spacing: 0) { topView } } private var topView: some View { Button { newDocument(TexDocument(text: "A whole new world!")) } label: { Text("Open new window") .frame(width: 200) } } } Suppose that I have a path to a text file whose security-scoped bookmark can be resolved with a click of a button. I wonder if you can open a new window or a new tab with the corresponding content?. I have done that in Cocoa. I hope I can do it in SwiftUI as well. Thanks.

Apple Pay
I'm implementing Apple Pay in a Flutter iOS app using the pay plugin and Braintree as the payment processor. I have followed all necessary steps as outlined by Apple and community resources (e.g., Medium articles, official Apple Developer documentation), but the Apple Pay button does not appear on a real device. Here's what I've completed: Created an Apple Pay Merchant ID Created and downloaded the Apple Pay Payment Processing Certificate, then uploaded it to Braintree Downloaded the Braintree-signed certificate and confirmed it's active in the Apple Developer portal Added the Merchant ID under Signing & Capabilities in Xcode Enabled Apple Pay capability in Xcode Added the Merchant ID to Info.plist Installed required Flutter packages (e.g., pay) Using a valid Apple Pay payment configuration file in Flutter (see below) Tested on a real iOS device with a valid Apple Pay test card added to Wallet Flutter Payment Configuration (in Dart JSON): json Copy Edit { "provider": "apple_pay", "data": { "merchantIdentifier": "merchant.com.example", "displayName": "My Store", "merchantCapabilities": ["3DS", "debit", "credit"], "supportedNetworks": ["visa", "masterCard", "amex"], "countryCode": "US", "currencyCode": "USD" } } Despite this complete setup, the ApplePayButton widget remains invisible There are no errors in the console. Can you help identify what may be missing or misconfigured at the code or configuration level?

Compiler stuck::considering giving up on SwiftUI
Apologies if this comes off as a bit of a rant, and TLDR: Compiler hangs or gives an unhelpful error with any level of complexity in SwiftUI - which makes me want to back to IB Porting a project over to iPhone. Made great progress the first week. However, lately I have been encountering compiler bugs where either the build never finishes, or the build take a really long time and ends with just the error : The compiler is unable to type-check this expression in reasonable time Sometimes I can get it to go away by playing divide and conquer and finding some small error, but other times with my nested scrollview it just seems unhappy with any level of complexity (and I don't think my views are all that complex compared to lots of other apps out there) I've read several posts on these forums for things to try and do to fix it but the bottom line is its impacting my ability to produce a working solution in a reasonable amount of time. So considering going back to Interface Builder though it means starting over with some of the code. If there was another independent way to syntax check my swiftUI code other than line by line myself I'd welcome something like that. The compiler going away and never coming back is very discouraging -- what if I have to make some kind of emergency fix in the future with limited time? Open for any suggestions. Xcode : 16.2

List Layout Breaks in NavigationStack When a View Exceeds Screen Width
This is a bug report. FB17433985 The layout of the following ContentView appears correctly when it is outside a NavigationStack. However, when the same view is placed inside a NavigationStack, the layout breaks. It seems that the width of the List is being affected by the width of the buttonsView, which exceeds the screen width. In my testing, this issue occurs on iOS 18.4 and later, but does not occur on iOS 18.2 or iOS 17.5. Workaround I found: Remove the fixed width modifier from the Button If anyone knows of other ways to resolve this issue without affecting the layout, I would appreciate it if you could share them. import SwiftUI let values = (1...100).map { $0 } let buttonTitles = (1...9).map { "Button\($0)" } struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { VStack { List { Section { ForEach(values.indices, id: \.self) { val in HStack { Text("Index: \(val)") } } } } buttonsView } } private var buttonsView: some View { HStack { ForEach(0..<buttonTitles.count, id: \.self) { index in Button() { } label: { Image(systemName: "square.and.arrow.up") .resizable() .frame(width: 48, height: 48) } } } } } @main struct ButtonShapeBugApp: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { if true { NavigationStack { ContentView() } } else { ContentView() } } } } Environment: Xcode Version 16.3 (16E140) iPhone 18.4.1 real device iPhone SE3rd 18.4 simulator Expect layout Broken layout(9 buttons) Broken layout(10 buttons)

DatePicker .graphical style: Inconsistent animation behavior when selecting out-of-range dates
Hi everyone, I’ve noticed an inconsistency in the behavior of SwiftUI’s DatePicker when using the .graphical style with a bounded date range (in:). When a user selects a date (month or year) outside the allowed range: If it's before the lower bound, the picker animates smoothly to the lower bound. BUT if the selected date is after the upper bound, the picker immediately jumps to the upper bound without animation. Note: Using .graphical style with displayedComponents: [.date]. Is this a known issue, and is there any recommended workaround or timeline for a fix? Or is this the intended behavior?

NavigationStack within NavigationSplitView's detail column clears the path when disappearing
I'd like to persist the path on a sidebar selection, so when user comes back to the sidebar selection, they land where they were before. Unexpectedly, the path gets cleared when sidebarSelection is changed from the NavigationStack that uses the path to something else. Is this an intended behavior? How to workaround it? Using TabView is one way, but TabView has its own problems, so I'm wondering if there's a solution within NavigationSplitView first. Here is a minimal reproduce of the issue: struct Home2: View { private enum SidebarSelection: CaseIterable, Identifiable { var id: Self { self } case files, tags } @State private var sidebarSelection: SidebarSelection? = .files @State private var path: [Int] = [] var body: some View { NavigationSplitView { List(SidebarSelection.allCases, selection: $sidebarSelection) { selection in switch selection { case .files: Label("Files", image: "custom.square.stack") case .tags: Label("Tags", systemImage: "grid") } } } detail: { switch sidebarSelection { case .files: NavigationStack(path: $path) { Subview(depth: 1) .navigationDestination(for: Int.self) { Subview(depth: $0) } } case .tags: Text("Tags") default: EmptyView() } } .onChange(of: path) { print("\(path.count)") } } } struct Subview: View { let depth: Int var body: some View { List { NavigationLink("Next: \(depth + 1)", value: depth + 1) } .navigationTitle("Depth \(depth)") } } #Preview("Home2") { Home2() }

Xcode 16 SwiftUI List Fast Scrolling Issue
Hi! When building my app using Xcode 16, fast scrolling (using scrollViewProxy.scrollTo) a list would result in items not appearing even when scrolling stopped. This does not happen when the app is built with Xcode 15, even on iOS 18. I'm also getting this error in the logs: List failed to visit cell content, returning an empty cell. - SwiftUICore/Logging.swift:84 - please file a bug report.

Getting the content of an NSView in an NSImage in OSX15 sequoia
as all the nice system services that were CGWindowListCreateImage, lockFocus are now deprecated, and drastic restictions are imposed to CALayer/renderInContext:, i just cant figure out how to design a single generic obj C method to capture the content of an NSView , whatever this view is ( subclassed or not, layer backed of not ). As simple as that. this was the method, which now no longer works : //============================================================================= +(NSImage*) viewImageShot:(NSView*)view :(BOOL)bFlip //============================================================================= // capture an NSImage of the given view content // pass window.contentView to capture the whole window,cropping the title bar { CGFloat wantedLayer = view.wantsLayer; BOOL wasHidden= view.hidden; view.hidden= NO; view.wantsLayer= YES; NSImage *requiredImage = [[NSImage alloc] initWithSize:view.bounds.size]; [requiredImage lockFocus]; CGContextRef context= [[NSGraphicsContext currentContext] CGContext]; if(bFlip) FlipContext(context, view.bounds.size.height); [view.layer renderInContext:context]; [requiredImage unlockFocus]; view.wantsLayer = wantedLayer; view.hidden = wasHidden; return requiredImage; } Is there here some hope to get some help or direction to acheive this goal ? thanks to those whow will answer.

New UIButton title left aligned
Hello There, I was trying to do a Button with title left aligned. With the old UIButton, I would have used the title-/contentEdgeInsets to achieve this, but with the new button these values are deprecated and do not work anymore. As far as I understood, with the new button only the spacing between the elements (sub-, title and image) is controllable. I also tried just setting the buttons width to the same width as the label, what would be possible in my case since it should be kind of a "hyperlink-button" which has no background or border. This works so far, but once the user interacts with the button, the title label gets multiline, which is on the one hand not wanted and on the other hand of course does not look left aligned anymore. (Besides the buttons height is fix in my case which leads to clipping of the title) So here again in short: Is there any way to make the title of the new UIButton left aligned inside of the button? Thank you very much in advance.

onReceive(_:perform:) on Frontmost Window Only?
I have a simple document-based application for macOS. struct ContentView: View { @Binding var document: TextDocument var body: some View { .onReceive(NotificationCenter.default.publisher(for: .notificationTextWillAppendSomeTextt), perform: { _ in }) VStack { TextEditor(text: $document.text) } } } extension Notification.Name { static let notificationTextWillAppendSomeTextt = Notification.Name("TextWillAppendSomeText") } Suppose that my application currently has three tabs. If I call a menu command through post(name:object:) this menu command call will affect all three of them. This stackoverflow topic talks about it, too. So how could I tell which window should get a call and others don't? Thanks.

EditMode & EditButton not working in a way I expect
I have something that looks like: NavigationStack { List(self.items, id: \.self, selection: self.$selectedItems) { item in NavigationLink { ItemView(item: item) .environment(\.managedObjectContext, self.viewContext) } label: { LabelWithMenuView(object: item) { ptr in self.labelHandler(item: item, newName: ptr) } } } if self.editMode?.wrappedValue == .active { editButtons } else { TextField("Add Item", text: self.$newItem) .onSubmit { self.addItem() self.newItem = "" } .padding() } } #if os(iOS) .toolbar { EditButton() } .onChange(of: self.editMode?.wrappedValue) { old, new in print("editMode \(old) -> \(new)") } #endif With that layout, the edit button doesn't show up at all; if I put it as part of the List, it does show up, but the first click doesn't do anything; after that, it works, but the onChange handler doesn't show it getting changed, and the editButtons don't go away.

NearbyInteraction with Live Activity and background behavior on iOS 18.4 / watchOS – Questions on UWB and Audio
Hi everyone, we’d appreciate your input on the following use case – thanks in advance! In our iPhone and Apple Watch app, we’re using the NearbyInteraction API to measure the distance between both devices via UWB. Setup: On the iPhone, we start a LiveActivity together with the NISession, to keep the ranging active in the background. ✅ Good news: On iOS 18.4, this works as expected – the NISession stays active in the background as long as the Live Activity is running. Current issues: As soon as the Watch app moves to the background, ranging seems to pause and is eventually terminated. → Question 1: Is there a way to keep the NISession active on the Watch when the app goes into the background? Audio playback from background not working: We'd like to trigger audio playback when certain distance changes are detected. So far, we can only trigger haptic feedback in the background – audio does not play. → Question 2: Is it possible to play audio (e.g. using AVAudioPlayer) while a NISession and a LiveActivity are running in the background? We’d be grateful for any advice or best practices for this combination. Thanks and best regards!

Any recommended mitigations for text rendering while awaiting system updates?

Compiler stuck::considering giving up on SwiftUI
Apologies if this comes off as a bit of a rant, and TLDR: Compiler hangs or gives an unhelpful error with any level of complexity in SwiftUI - which makes me want to back to IB Porting a project over to iPhone. Made great progress the first week. However, lately I have been encountering compiler bugs where either the build never finishes, or the build take a really long time and ends with just the error : The compiler is unable to type-check this expression in reasonable time Sometimes I can get it to go away by playing divide and conquer and finding some small error, but other times with my nested scrollview it just seems unhappy with any level of complexity (and I don't think my views are all that complex compared to lots of other apps out there) I've read several posts on these forums for things to try and do to fix it but the bottom line is its impacting my ability to produce a working solution in a reasonable amount of time. So considering going back to Interface Builder though it means starting over with some of the code. If there was another independent way to syntax check my swiftUI code other than line by line myself I'd welcome something like that. The compiler going away and never coming back is very discouraging -- what if I have to make some kind of emergency fix in the future with limited time? Open for any suggestions. Xcode : 16.2

List Layout Breaks in NavigationStack When a View Exceeds Screen Width
This is a bug report. FB17433985 The layout of the following ContentView appears correctly when it is outside a NavigationStack. However, when the same view is placed inside a NavigationStack, the layout breaks. It seems that the width of the List is being affected by the width of the buttonsView, which exceeds the screen width. In my testing, this issue occurs on iOS 18.4 and later, but does not occur on iOS 18.2 or iOS 17.5. Workaround I found: Remove the fixed width modifier from the Button If anyone knows of other ways to resolve this issue without affecting the layout, I would appreciate it if you could share them. import SwiftUI let values = (1...100).map { $0 } let buttonTitles = (1...9).map { "Button\($0)" } struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { VStack { List { Section { ForEach(values.indices, id: \.self) { val in HStack { Text("Index: \(val)") } } } } buttonsView } } private var buttonsView: some View { HStack { ForEach(0..<buttonTitles.count, id: \.self) { index in Button() { } label: { Image(systemName: "square.and.arrow.up") .resizable() .frame(width: 48, height: 48) } } } } } @main struct ButtonShapeBugApp: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { if true { NavigationStack { ContentView() } } else { ContentView() } } } } Environment: Xcode Version 16.3 (16E140) iPhone 18.4.1 real device iPhone SE3rd 18.4 simulator Expect layout Broken layout(9 buttons) Broken layout(10 buttons)

DatePicker .graphical style: Inconsistent animation behavior when selecting out-of-range dates
Hi everyone, I’ve noticed an inconsistency in the behavior of SwiftUI’s DatePicker when using the .graphical style with a bounded date range (in:). When a user selects a date (month or year) outside the allowed range: If it's before the lower bound, the picker animates smoothly to the lower bound. BUT if the selected date is after the upper bound, the picker immediately jumps to the upper bound without animation. Note: Using .graphical style with displayedComponents: [.date]. Is this a known issue, and is there any recommended workaround or timeline for a fix? Or is this the intended behavior?

NavigationStack within NavigationSplitView's detail column clears the path when disappearing
I'd like to persist the path on a sidebar selection, so when user comes back to the sidebar selection, they land where they were before. Unexpectedly, the path gets cleared when sidebarSelection is changed from the NavigationStack that uses the path to something else. Is this an intended behavior? How to workaround it? Using TabView is one way, but TabView has its own problems, so I'm wondering if there's a solution within NavigationSplitView first. Here is a minimal reproduce of the issue: struct Home2: View { private enum SidebarSelection: CaseIterable, Identifiable { var id: Self { self } case files, tags } @State private var sidebarSelection: SidebarSelection? = .files @State private var path: [Int] = [] var body: some View { NavigationSplitView { List(SidebarSelection.allCases, selection: $sidebarSelection) { selection in switch selection { case .files: Label("Files", image: "custom.square.stack") case .tags: Label("Tags", systemImage: "grid") } } } detail: { switch sidebarSelection { case .files: NavigationStack(path: $path) { Subview(depth: 1) .navigationDestination(for: Int.self) { Subview(depth: $0) } } case .tags: Text("Tags") default: EmptyView() } } .onChange(of: path) { print("\(path.count)") } } } struct Subview: View { let depth: Int var body: some View { List { NavigationLink("Next: \(depth + 1)", value: depth + 1) } .navigationTitle("Depth \(depth)") } } #Preview("Home2") { Home2() }

Xcode 16 SwiftUI List Fast Scrolling Issue
Hi! When building my app using Xcode 16, fast scrolling (using scrollViewProxy.scrollTo) a list would result in items not appearing even when scrolling stopped. This does not happen when the app is built with Xcode 15, even on iOS 18. I'm also getting this error in the logs: List failed to visit cell content, returning an empty cell. - SwiftUICore/Logging.swift:84 - please file a bug report.

Getting the content of an NSView in an NSImage in OSX15 sequoia
as all the nice system services that were CGWindowListCreateImage, lockFocus are now deprecated, and drastic restictions are imposed to CALayer/renderInContext:, i just cant figure out how to design a single generic obj C method to capture the content of an NSView , whatever this view is ( subclassed or not, layer backed of not ). As simple as that. this was the method, which now no longer works : //============================================================================= +(NSImage*) viewImageShot:(NSView*)view :(BOOL)bFlip //============================================================================= // capture an NSImage of the given view content // pass window.contentView to capture the whole window,cropping the title bar { CGFloat wantedLayer = view.wantsLayer; BOOL wasHidden= view.hidden; view.hidden= NO; view.wantsLayer= YES; NSImage *requiredImage = [[NSImage alloc] initWithSize:view.bounds.size]; [requiredImage lockFocus]; CGContextRef context= [[NSGraphicsContext currentContext] CGContext]; if(bFlip) FlipContext(context, view.bounds.size.height); [view.layer renderInContext:context]; [requiredImage unlockFocus]; view.wantsLayer = wantedLayer; view.hidden = wasHidden; return requiredImage; } Is there here some hope to get some help or direction to acheive this goal ? thanks to those whow will answer.

New UIButton title left aligned
Hello There, I was trying to do a Button with title left aligned. With the old UIButton, I would have used the title-/contentEdgeInsets to achieve this, but with the new button these values are deprecated and do not work anymore. As far as I understood, with the new button only the spacing between the elements (sub-, title and image) is controllable. I also tried just setting the buttons width to the same width as the label, what would be possible in my case since it should be kind of a "hyperlink-button" which has no background or border. This works so far, but once the user interacts with the button, the title label gets multiline, which is on the one hand not wanted and on the other hand of course does not look left aligned anymore. (Besides the buttons height is fix in my case which leads to clipping of the title) So here again in short: Is there any way to make the title of the new UIButton left aligned inside of the button? Thank you very much in advance.

onReceive(_:perform:) on Frontmost Window Only?
I have a simple document-based application for macOS. struct ContentView: View { @Binding var document: TextDocument var body: some View { .onReceive(NotificationCenter.default.publisher(for: .notificationTextWillAppendSomeTextt), perform: { _ in }) VStack { TextEditor(text: $document.text) } } } extension Notification.Name { static let notificationTextWillAppendSomeTextt = Notification.Name("TextWillAppendSomeText") } Suppose that my application currently has three tabs. If I call a menu command through post(name:object:) this menu command call will affect all three of them. This stackoverflow topic talks about it, too. So how could I tell which window should get a call and others don't? Thanks.

EditMode & EditButton not working in a way I expect
I have something that looks like: NavigationStack { List(self.items, id: \.self, selection: self.$selectedItems) { item in NavigationLink { ItemView(item: item) .environment(\.managedObjectContext, self.viewContext) } label: { LabelWithMenuView(object: item) { ptr in self.labelHandler(item: item, newName: ptr) } } } if self.editMode?.wrappedValue == .active { editButtons } else { TextField("Add Item", text: self.$newItem) .onSubmit { self.addItem() self.newItem = "" } .padding() } } #if os(iOS) .toolbar { EditButton() } .onChange(of: self.editMode?.wrappedValue) { old, new in print("editMode \(old) -> \(new)") } #endif With that layout, the edit button doesn't show up at all; if I put it as part of the List, it does show up, but the first click doesn't do anything; after that, it works, but the onChange handler doesn't show it getting changed, and the editButtons don't go away.

NearbyInteraction with Live Activity and background behavior on iOS 18.4 / watchOS – Questions on UWB and Audio
Hi everyone, we’d appreciate your input on the following use case – thanks in advance! In our iPhone and Apple Watch app, we’re using the NearbyInteraction API to measure the distance between both devices via UWB. Setup: On the iPhone, we start a LiveActivity together with the NISession, to keep the ranging active in the background. ✅ Good news: On iOS 18.4, this works as expected – the NISession stays active in the background as long as the Live Activity is running. Current issues: As soon as the Watch app moves to the background, ranging seems to pause and is eventually terminated. → Question 1: Is there a way to keep the NISession active on the Watch when the app goes into the background? Audio playback from background not working: We'd like to trigger audio playback when certain distance changes are detected. So far, we can only trigger haptic feedback in the background – audio does not play. → Question 2: Is it possible to play audio (e.g. using AVAudioPlayer) while a NISession and a LiveActivity are running in the background? We’d be grateful for any advice or best practices for this combination. Thanks and best regards!
