@Transient update doesn't propagate to view
When I update a variable inside my model that is marked @Transient, my view does not update with this change. Is this normal? If I update a non-transient variable inside the model at the same time that I update the transient one, then both changes are propagated to my view. Here is an example of the model: @Model public class WaterData { public var target: Double = 3000 @Transient public var samples: [HKQuantitySample] = [] } Updating samples only does not propagate to my view.

Duplicate toolbar item and wrong document name in SwiftUI document based app
My app is a SwiftUI document based app using DocumentGroupLaunchScene. In iOS(iPadOS) 18.4, when it launches, it has duplicate toolbar items, and when I close the current document and open other documents, it adds more duplicates. It also shows a wrong document name, which shows the first opened document name. This issue can be reproduced in the sample code (Building a document-based app with SwiftUI). I have submitted Feedback (FB17025216), but not sure if this is a known bug or if I'm missing anything.

Display .icon files in SwiftUI
Is there a way to display a .icon file in SwiftUI? I want to show the app icon in the app itself but exporting and including the app icon as a PNG feels redundant. This would consume a lot of unnecessary storage especially when including a lot of alternative app icons. There has to be a better way Otherwise I would file a feedback for that Thank you

Slow rendering List backed by SwiftData @Query
Hello, I've a question about performance when trying to render lots of items coming from SwiftData via a @Query on a SwiftUI List. Here's my setup: // Item.swift: @Model final class Item: Identifiable { var timestamp: Date var isOptionA: Bool init() { self.timestamp = Date() self.isOptionA = Bool.random() } } // Menu.swift enum Menu: String, CaseIterable, Hashable, Identifiable { var id: String { rawValue } case optionA case optionB case all var predicate: Predicate<Item> { switch self { case .optionA: return #Predicate { $0.isOptionA } case .optionB: return #Predicate { !$0.isOptionA } case .all: return #Predicate { _ in true } } } } // SlowData.swift @main struct SlowDataApp: App { var sharedModelContainer: ModelContainer = { let schema = Schema([Item.self]) let modelConfiguration = ModelConfiguration(schema: schema, isStoredInMemoryOnly: false) return try! ModelContainer(for: schema, configurations: [modelConfiguration]) }() var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() } .modelContainer(sharedModelContainer) } } // ContentView.swift struct ContentView: View { @Environment(\.modelContext) private var modelContext @State var selection: Menu? = .optionA var body: some View { NavigationSplitView { List(Menu.allCases, selection: $selection) { menu in Text(menu.rawValue).tag(menu) } } detail: { DemoListView(selectedMenu: $selection) }.onAppear { // Do this just once // (0..<15_000).forEach { index in // let item = Item() // modelContext.insert(item) // } } } } // DemoListView.swift struct DemoListView: View { @Binding var selectedMenu: Menu? @Query private var items: [Item] init(selectedMenu: Binding<Menu?>) { self._selectedMenu = selectedMenu self._items = Query(filter: selectedMenu.wrappedValue?.predicate, sort: \.timestamp) } var body: some View { // Option 1: touching `items` = slow! List(items) { item in Text(item.timestamp.description) } // Option 2: Not touching `items` = fast! // List { // Text("Not accessing `items` here") // } .navigationTitle(selectedMenu?.rawValue ?? "N/A") } } When I use Option 1 on DemoListView, there's a noticeable delay on the navigation. If I use Option 2, there's none. This happens both on Debug builds and Release builds, just FYI because on Xcode 16 Debug builds seem to be slower than expected: https://indieweb.social/@curtclifton/113273571392595819 I've profiled it and the SwiftData fetches seem blazing fast, the Hang occurs when accessing the items property from the List. Is there anything I'm overlooking or it's just as fast as it can be right now?

Menu presentation in UIHostingController issues
Looking to see if anyone has experienced this issue, and is aware of any workarounds. With an app migrating towards SwiftUI Views but still using UIKit for primary navigation, my app makes use of UIHostingController to push SwiftUI Views onto a UINavigationController stack in a lot of areas. With iOS 26, I notice that SwiftUI's Menu view really struggles to present when contained in a UIHostingController. An error is logged to the console on presentation, and depending on the UI, the Menu won't present inside of it's container, or will jump around the screen. The bug, it seems is based in a private class UIReparentingView and I am curious if anyone has found a work around for this issue. The error reported is: Adding '_UIReparentingView' as a subview of UIHostingController.view is not supported and may result in a broken view hierarchy. Add your view above UIHostingController.view in a common superview or insert it into your SwiftUI content in a UIViewRepresentable instead. The simplest way to see this issue is to create a new storyboard based project. From the ViewController present a UIHostingController with a SwiftUI view that has a Menu and then simply tap to open the Menu. Thanks for any input!

Replacement for deprecated CLPlacemark.region?
Hello, I use CLGeocoder to get the CLLocationCoordinate2D and CLRegion for an address. Now that this is deprecated in OS 26, I don't see a replacement for that property on MKMapItem via MKMapItemRequest and PlaceDescriptor. I've filed FB19027378 on this issue. Basically I have some addresses that have a street address, and others that just have a city. With CLGeocoder, when geocoding just the city, the CLRegion was set such that I could show my map zoomed out just right. I'm not sure how to do that now. Thanks!

.contactAccessPicker shows blank sheet on iOS 26.2.1 on device
Calling contactAccessPicker results in a blank sheet and a jetsam error, rather than the expected contact picker, using Apple’s sample code, only on device with iOS 26.2.1. This is happening on a iPhone 17 Pro Max running 26.2.1, and not on a simulator. I’m running Apple's sample project Accessing a person’s contact data using Contacts and ContactsUI Steps: Run the sample app on device running iOS 26.2.1. Use the flow to authorize .limited access with 1 contact: Tap request access, Continue, Select Contacts. Select a contact, Continue, Allow Selected Contact. This all works as expected. Tap the add contact button in the toolbar to add a second contact. Expected: This should show the Contact Access Picker UI. Actual: Sheet is shown with no contents. See screenshot of actual results on iOS device running 26.2.1. Reported as FB21812568 I see a similar (same?) error reported for 26.1. It seems strange that the feature is completely broken for multiple point releases. Is anyone else seeing this or are the two of us running into the same rare edge case? Expected Outcome, seen on simulator running 26.2 Actual outcome, seen on device running 26.2.1

How to update TabViewBottomAccessoryPlacement
Playing around with the new TabViewBottomAccessoryPlacement API, but can't figure out how to update the value returned by @Environment(\.tabViewBottomAccessoryPlacement) var placement. I want to change this value programmatically, want it to be set to nil or .none on app start until user performs a specific action. (taps play on an item which creates an AVPlayer instance). Documentation I could find: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/SwiftUI/TabViewBottomAccessoryPlacement

AsyncRenderer causes crashes in ForEach when in Swift 6 language mode
Hi! We've recently done a big migration to Swift 6 language mode in our app and are now getting reports of crashes occurring due to closures in our SwiftUI code (most often the view builder in ForEach) not running on the main queue but instead running on the queue com.apple.SwiftUI.AsyncRenderer. One example of a call stack (ScheduleListView is our view that is in Swift 6 mode): Thread 16 #0 (null) in _dispatch_assert_queue_fail () #1 (null) in dispatch_assert_queue$V2.cold.1 () #2 (null) in dispatch_assert_queue () #3 (null) in swift_task_isCurrentExecutorWithFlagsImpl(swift::SerialExecutorRef, swift::swift_task_is_current_executor_flag) () #4 (null) in closure #2 in closure #1 in closure #1 in ScheduleListView.body.getter () #5 (null) in closure #1 in ForEachState.item(at:offset:) () #6 (null) in partial apply for closure #1 in ForEachState.item(at:offset:) () #8 (null) in partial apply for closure #1 in _withObservation<A>(do:) () .... (We have many other crashes with similar crash reports but in other views) Has anybody else run into something similar? Is there anything (other than simply reverting to Swift 5 mode again) that we can do to fix or at least reduce the amount of crashes? We're having a hard time finding anything out of the ordinary that we're doing in our views. Regards

NSTextLineFragment crash - how to debug
We have crash reports as shown below that we haven't yet been able to repro and could use some help deubgging. My guess is that the app is giving a label or text view an attributed string with an invalid attribute range, but attributed strings are used in many places throughout the app, and I don't know an efficient way to track this down. I'm posting the stack trace here in hopes that someone more familiar with the internals of the system frameworks mentioned will be able to provide a clue to help narrow where I should look.

Infinite loop getting "_dismiss changed"
I'm working on a NavigationStack based app. Somewhere I'm using: @Environment(\.dismiss) private var dismiss and when trying to navigate to that view it gets stuck. I used Self._printChanges() and discovered the environment variable dismiss is changing repeatedly. Obviously I am not changing that variable explicitly. I wasn't able to reproduce this in a small project so far, but does anybody have any idea what kind of thing I could be doing that might be causing this issue? iOS 17.0.3

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.

button is pressed when starting scrolling in iOS 18
On iOS 18, while on a modal screen, if the scrolling starts on a button, that button gets pressed, outside of a modal this doesn't reproduce, also not reproducible on older iOS versions, neither on modals or outside of them. The code to reproduce the issue: import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @State var presentModal = false var body: some View { Button(action: { presentModal = true }, label: { Text("open modal") }) .sheet(isPresented: $presentModal, content: { ScrollView { ForEach(0..<100, id: \.self) { index in Button(action: { print("Button \(index) tapped!") }) { Text("Button \(index)") .frame(maxWidth: .infinity) .frame(height: 100) .background(randomColor(for: index)) .padding(.horizontal) } } } }) } func randomColor(for index: Int) -> Color { let hue = Double(index % 100) / 100.0 return Color(hue: hue, saturation: 0.8, brightness: 0.8) } } #Preview { ContentView() }

StoreKit's manageSubscriptionsSheet view modifier not loading
Our app was just rejected by Apple because they say the subscription management sheet never loads. It just spins indefinitely. We're using StoreKit's manageSubscriptionsSheet view modifier to present the sheet, and it's always worked for us when testing in SandBox. Has anyone else had this problem? Given that it's Apple's own code that got us rejected, what's our path forward?

Automatic Sign-In API — requestAutoSignInAuthorization() - "Service temporarily unavailable"
When integrating the Automatic Sign-In API on physical devices (iPhone SE with iOS 26.0 and Apple TV with tvOS 26.0), the call to requestAutoSignInAuthorization() results in an immediate error stating "Service temporarily unavailable." This prevents the app from obtaining the necessary authorization context to proceed with token updates and the Automatic Sign-In flow. The issue occurs specifically at the authorization request stage and does not progress to calling updateAutoSignInToken(), since it does not acquire conditions for it. All entitlement and sandbox setup have been verified and are correctly configured. Error: Error Domain=VSErrorDomain Code=3 "The service is temporarily unavailable." UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=The service is temporarily unavailable., NSLocalizedRecoverySuggestion=Please try again later.}

popoverTips don't display for toolbar menu buttons in iOS 26.1
[Also submitted as FB20756013] A popoverTip does not display for toolbar menu buttons in iOS 26.1 (23B5073a). The same code displays tips correctly in iOS 18.6. The issue occurs both in the simulator and on a physical device. Repro Steps Build and run the Sample Code below on iOS 26.1. Observe that the popoverTip does not display. Repeat on iOS 18.6 to confirm expected behavior. Expected popoverTips should appear when attached to a toolbar menu button, as they do in iOS 18.6. Actual No tip is displayed on iOS 26.1. System Info macOS 15.7.1 (24G231) Xcode 26.1 beta 3 (17B5045g) iOS 26.1 (23B5073a) Screenshot Screenshot showing two simulators side by side—iOS 18.6 on the left (tip displayed) and iOS 26.1 on the right (no tip displayed). Sample code import SwiftUI import TipKit struct PopoverTip: Tip { var title: Text { Text("Menu Tip") } var message: Text? { Text("This tip displays on iOS 18.6, but NOT on iOS 26.1.") } } struct ContentView: View { var tip = PopoverTip() var body: some View { NavigationStack { Text("`popoverTip` doesn't display on iOS 26.1 but does in iOS 18.6") .padding() .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarTrailing) { Menu { Button("Dismiss", role: .cancel) { } Button("Do Nothing") { } } label: { Label("More", systemImage: "ellipsis") } .popoverTip(tip) } } .navigationTitle("Popover Tip Issue") .navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.inline) } } }

iOS 26 Beta 3, UIGlassEffect corner radius
In beta 2 using layer.cornerRadius on a UIEffectView with the UIGlassEffect allowed you to change the corner radius of the view. In beta 3, this no longer works. WWDC videos indicate the right way to do this is to set the cornerConfiguration on the UIEffectView, but that API doesn't seem to be available yet. At this time it doesn't seem like theres a way to have a glass view that isn't pill shaped.

Summary of iOS/iPadOS 26 UIKit bugs related to UISearchController & UISearchBar using scope buttons
All of these issues appear when the search controller is set on the view controller's navigationItem and the search controller's searchBar has its scopeButtonTitles set. So far the following issues are affecting my app on iOS/iPadOS 26 as of beta 7: When the scopeBarActivation of UISearchController is set to .onSearchActivation, the preferredSearchBarPlacement of the navigationItem is set to .integratedButton, and the searchBarPlacementAllowsToolbarIntegration is set to false (forcing the search icon to appear in the nav bar), on both iPhones and iPads, the scope buttons never appear. They don't appear when the search is activated. They don't appear when any text is entered into the search bar. FB19771313 I attempted to work around that issue by setting the scopeBarActivation to .manual. I then show the scope bar in the didPresentSearchController delegate method and hide the scope bar in the willDismissSearchController. On an iPhone this works though the display is a bit clunky. On an iPad, the scope bar does appear via the code in didPresentSearchController, but when any scope bar button is tapped, the search controller is dismissed. This happens when the app is horizontally regular. When the app on the iPad is horizontally compact, the buttons work but the search bar's text is not correctly aligned within the search bar. Quite the mess really. I still need to post a bug report for this issue. But if issue 1 above is fixed then I don't need this workaround. When the scopeBarActivation of UISearchController is set to .onSearchActivation, the preferredSearchBarPlacement of the navigationItem is set to .stacked, and the hidesSearchBarWhenScrolling property of the navigationItem is set to false (always show the search bar), and this is all used in a UITableViewController, then upon initial display of the view controller on an iPhone or iPad, you are unable to tap on the first row of the table view except on the very bottom of the row. The currently hidden scope bar is stealing the touches. If you activate and then cancel the search (making the scope bar appear and then disappear) then you are able to tap on the first row as expected. The initially hidden scope bar also bleeds through the first row of the table. It's faint but you can tell it's not quite right. Again, this is resolved by activating and then canceling the search once. FB17888632 When the scopeBarActivation of UISearchController is set to .onSearchActivation, the preferredSearchBarPlacement of the navigationItem is set to integrated or .integratedButton, and the toolbar is shown, then on iPhones (where the search bar/icon appears in the toolbar) the scope buttons appear (at the top of the screen) the first time the search is activated. But if you cancel the search and then activate it again, the search bar never appears a second (or later) time. On an iPad the search bar/icon appears in the nav bar and you end up with the same issue as #1 above. FB17890125 Issues 3 and 4 were reported against beta 1 and still haven't been fixed. But if issue 1 is resolved on iPhone, iPad, and Mac (via Mac Catalyst), then I personally won't be affected by issues 2, 3, or 4 any more (but of course all 4 issues need to be fixed). And by resolved, I mean that the scope bar appears and disappears when it is supposed to each and every time the search is activated and cancelled (not just the first time). The scope bar doesn't interfere with touch events upon initial display of the view controller. And there are no visual glitches no matter what the horizontal size class is on an iPad. I really hope the UIKit team can get these resolved before iOS/iPadOS 26 GM.

I want to change this value programmatically, want it to be set to nil or .none on app start until user performs a specific action. (taps play on an item which creates an AVPlayer instance). Documentation I could find: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/SwiftUI/TabViewBottomAccessoryPlacement

AsyncRenderer causes crashes in ForEach when in Swift 6 language mode
Hi! We've recently done a big migration to Swift 6 language mode in our app and are now getting reports of crashes occurring due to closures in our SwiftUI code (most often the view builder in ForEach) not running on the main queue but instead running on the queue com.apple.SwiftUI.AsyncRenderer. One example of a call stack (ScheduleListView is our view that is in Swift 6 mode): Thread 16 #0 (null) in _dispatch_assert_queue_fail () #1 (null) in dispatch_assert_queue$V2.cold.1 () #2 (null) in dispatch_assert_queue () #3 (null) in swift_task_isCurrentExecutorWithFlagsImpl(swift::SerialExecutorRef, swift::swift_task_is_current_executor_flag) () #4 (null) in closure #2 in closure #1 in closure #1 in ScheduleListView.body.getter () #5 (null) in closure #1 in ForEachState.item(at:offset:) () #6 (null) in partial apply for closure #1 in ForEachState.item(at:offset:) () #8 (null) in partial apply for closure #1 in _withObservation<A>(do:) () .... (We have many other crashes with similar crash reports but in other views) Has anybody else run into something similar? Is there anything (other than simply reverting to Swift 5 mode again) that we can do to fix or at least reduce the amount of crashes? We're having a hard time finding anything out of the ordinary that we're doing in our views. Regards

NSTextLineFragment crash - how to debug
We have crash reports as shown below that we haven't yet been able to repro and could use some help deubgging. My guess is that the app is giving a label or text view an attributed string with an invalid attribute range, but attributed strings are used in many places throughout the app, and I don't know an efficient way to track this down. I'm posting the stack trace here in hopes that someone more familiar with the internals of the system frameworks mentioned will be able to provide a clue to help narrow where I should look.

Infinite loop getting "_dismiss changed"
I'm working on a NavigationStack based app. Somewhere I'm using: @Environment(\.dismiss) private var dismiss and when trying to navigate to that view it gets stuck. I used Self._printChanges() and discovered the environment variable dismiss is changing repeatedly. Obviously I am not changing that variable explicitly. I wasn't able to reproduce this in a small project so far, but does anybody have any idea what kind of thing I could be doing that might be causing this issue? iOS 17.0.3

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.

Error message "Failed to set override status for bind point component member."
In my visionOS app, I'm seeing this error in the console dozens of times. Anyone know what it means, or how to troubleshoot it? Searching these forums and the usual other places hasn't come up with anything that seems relevant.

button is pressed when starting scrolling in iOS 18
On iOS 18, while on a modal screen, if the scrolling starts on a button, that button gets pressed, outside of a modal this doesn't reproduce, also not reproducible on older iOS versions, neither on modals or outside of them. The code to reproduce the issue: import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @State var presentModal = false var body: some View { Button(action: { presentModal = true }, label: { Text("open modal") }) .sheet(isPresented: $presentModal, content: { ScrollView { ForEach(0..<100, id: \.self) { index in Button(action: { print("Button \(index) tapped!") }) { Text("Button \(index)") .frame(maxWidth: .infinity) .frame(height: 100) .background(randomColor(for: index)) .padding(.horizontal) } } } }) } func randomColor(for index: Int) -> Color { let hue = Double(index % 100) / 100.0 return Color(hue: hue, saturation: 0.8, brightness: 0.8) } } #Preview { ContentView() }

StoreKit's manageSubscriptionsSheet view modifier not loading
Our app was just rejected by Apple because they say the subscription management sheet never loads. It just spins indefinitely. We're using StoreKit's manageSubscriptionsSheet view modifier to present the sheet, and it's always worked for us when testing in SandBox. Has anyone else had this problem? Given that it's Apple's own code that got us rejected, what's our path forward?

Automatic Sign-In API — requestAutoSignInAuthorization() - "Service temporarily unavailable"
When integrating the Automatic Sign-In API on physical devices (iPhone SE with iOS 26.0 and Apple TV with tvOS 26.0), the call to requestAutoSignInAuthorization() results in an immediate error stating "Service temporarily unavailable." This prevents the app from obtaining the necessary authorization context to proceed with token updates and the Automatic Sign-In flow. The issue occurs specifically at the authorization request stage and does not progress to calling updateAutoSignInToken(), since it does not acquire conditions for it. All entitlement and sandbox setup have been verified and are correctly configured. Error: Error Domain=VSErrorDomain Code=3 "The service is temporarily unavailable." UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=The service is temporarily unavailable., NSLocalizedRecoverySuggestion=Please try again later.}

popoverTips don't display for toolbar menu buttons in iOS 26.1
[Also submitted as FB20756013] A popoverTip does not display for toolbar menu buttons in iOS 26.1 (23B5073a). The same code displays tips correctly in iOS 18.6. The issue occurs both in the simulator and on a physical device. Repro Steps Build and run the Sample Code below on iOS 26.1. Observe that the popoverTip does not display. Repeat on iOS 18.6 to confirm expected behavior. Expected popoverTips should appear when attached to a toolbar menu button, as they do in iOS 18.6. Actual No tip is displayed on iOS 26.1. System Info macOS 15.7.1 (24G231) Xcode 26.1 beta 3 (17B5045g) iOS 26.1 (23B5073a) Screenshot Screenshot showing two simulators side by side—iOS 18.6 on the left (tip displayed) and iOS 26.1 on the right (no tip displayed). Sample code import SwiftUI import TipKit struct PopoverTip: Tip { var title: Text { Text("Menu Tip") } var message: Text? { Text("This tip displays on iOS 18.6, but NOT on iOS 26.1.") } } struct ContentView: View { var tip = PopoverTip() var body: some View { NavigationStack { Text("`popoverTip` doesn't display on iOS 26.1 but does in iOS 18.6") .padding() .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarTrailing) { Menu { Button("Dismiss", role: .cancel) { } Button("Do Nothing") { } } label: { Label("More", systemImage: "ellipsis") } .popoverTip(tip) } } .navigationTitle("Popover Tip Issue") .navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.inline) } } }

iOS 26 Beta 3, UIGlassEffect corner radius
In beta 2 using layer.cornerRadius on a UIEffectView with the UIGlassEffect allowed you to change the corner radius of the view. In beta 3, this no longer works. WWDC videos indicate the right way to do this is to set the cornerConfiguration on the UIEffectView, but that API doesn't seem to be available yet. At this time it doesn't seem like theres a way to have a glass view that isn't pill shaped.

Summary of iOS/iPadOS 26 UIKit bugs related to UISearchController & UISearchBar using scope buttons
All of these issues appear when the search controller is set on the view controller's navigationItem and the search controller's searchBar has its scopeButtonTitles set. So far the following issues are affecting my app on iOS/iPadOS 26 as of beta 7: When the scopeBarActivation of UISearchController is set to .onSearchActivation, the preferredSearchBarPlacement of the navigationItem is set to .integratedButton, and the searchBarPlacementAllowsToolbarIntegration is set to false (forcing the search icon to appear in the nav bar), on both iPhones and iPads, the scope buttons never appear. They don't appear when the search is activated. They don't appear when any text is entered into the search bar. FB19771313 I attempted to work around that issue by setting the scopeBarActivation to .manual. I then show the scope bar in the didPresentSearchController delegate method and hide the scope bar in the willDismissSearchController. On an iPhone this works though the display is a bit clunky. On an iPad, the scope bar does appear via the code in didPresentSearchController, but when any scope bar button is tapped, the search controller is dismissed. This happens when the app is horizontally regular. When the app on the iPad is horizontally compact, the buttons work but the search bar's text is not correctly aligned within the search bar. Quite the mess really. I still need to post a bug report for this issue. But if issue 1 above is fixed then I don't need this workaround. When the scopeBarActivation of UISearchController is set to .onSearchActivation, the preferredSearchBarPlacement of the navigationItem is set to .stacked, and the hidesSearchBarWhenScrolling property of the navigationItem is set to false (always show the search bar), and this is all used in a UITableViewController, then upon initial display of the view controller on an iPhone or iPad, you are unable to tap on the first row of the table view except on the very bottom of the row. The currently hidden scope bar is stealing the touches. If you activate and then cancel the search (making the scope bar appear and then disappear) then you are able to tap on the first row as expected. The initially hidden scope bar also bleeds through the first row of the table. It's faint but you can tell it's not quite right. Again, this is resolved by activating and then canceling the search once. FB17888632 When the scopeBarActivation of UISearchController is set to .onSearchActivation, the preferredSearchBarPlacement of the navigationItem is set to integrated or .integratedButton, and the toolbar is shown, then on iPhones (where the search bar/icon appears in the toolbar) the scope buttons appear (at the top of the screen) the first time the search is activated. But if you cancel the search and then activate it again, the search bar never appears a second (or later) time. On an iPad the search bar/icon appears in the nav bar and you end up with the same issue as #1 above. FB17890125 Issues 3 and 4 were reported against beta 1 and still haven't been fixed. But if issue 1 is resolved on iPhone, iPad, and Mac (via Mac Catalyst), then I personally won't be affected by issues 2, 3, or 4 any more (but of course all 4 issues need to be fixed). And by resolved, I mean that the scope bar appears and disappears when it is supposed to each and every time the search is activated and cancelled (not just the first time). The scope bar doesn't interfere with touch events upon initial display of the view controller. And there are no visual glitches no matter what the horizontal size class is on an iPad. I really hope the UIKit team can get these resolved before iOS/iPadOS 26 GM.
