Opening recent files from Dock with MacCatalyst app
We are developing an MacOS app from our iOS app using MacCatalyst. If I press long on the app icon on the Dock, a list of recent files appears. If I tap one one of these files nothing happens. I would expect the scene delegate function: func scene(_ scene: UIScene, openURLContexts URLContexts: Set<UIOpenURLContext>) would be called but it is not. Can somebody maybe explain what I am missing here? The list of recent files also appears in the Menu under File > Open recent files. There I can tap on a file and it it is opened correctly using the scene delegate method mentioned above. The files can also be opened with the app using the Finder, so the associated file types with the app are correct.

iPad - Bluetooth Peripheral MTU No More Than 20 Bytes
All, Thanks in advance! I'm having a very hard time increasing the MTU to any value beyond 20. The research I've done states iOS 16.1 and beyond supports up to 512 bytes. Yet, the peripheral device will only read 20 bytes. It's to be noted that I'm using Expo SDK 51 Bare Workflow, and the react-native-ble-plx library. I have the app functioning as both Central and Peripheral on iOS 18.1 devices, and data is successfully being written and read to the characteristic. Because the Expo app is Bare Workflow, I'm able to make any configurations via Xcode, and if there is any patches needed to the react-native-ble-plx library, we have the architecture to support that too. I wanted to provide that context before being recommended to go to the Expo forums (which I have/will be). I also added the CoreBluetooth framework to the project in hopes that would overwrite the react-native-ble-plx imports, but I noticed react-native-ble-plx uses Swift while CoreBluetooth is Objective-C. Looking forward to your responses!

SwiftUI crashes EXC_BREAKPOINT at _dispatch_semaphore_dispose
Based on crash reports for our app in production, we're seeing these SwiftUI crashes but couldn't figure out why it is there. These crashes are pretty frequent (>20 crashed per day). Would really appreciate it if anyone has any insight on why this happens. Based on the stacktrace, i can't really find anything that links back to our app (replaced with MyApp in the stacktrace). Thank you in advance!

How can I integrate my own text changes into UITextView's undo manager?
I have an app that uses UITextView for some text editing. I have some custom operations I can do on the text that I want to be able to undo, and I'm representing those operations in a way that plugs into NSUndoManager nicely. For example, if I have a button that appends an emoji to the text, it looks something like this: func addEmoji() { let inserting = NSAttributedString(string: "😀") self.textStorage.append(inserting) let len = inserting.length let range = NSRange(location: self.textStorage.length - len, length: len) self.undoManager?.registerUndo(withTarget: self, handler: { view in view.textStorage.deleteCharacters(in: range) } } My goal is something like this: Type some text Press the emoji button to add the emoji Trigger undo (via gesture or keyboard shortcut) and the emoji is removed Trigger undo again and the typing from step 1 is reversed If I just type and then trigger undo, the typing is reversed as you'd expect. And if I just add the emoji and trigger undo, the emoji is removed. But if I do the sequence above, step 3 works but step 4 doesn't. The emoji is removed but the typing isn't reversed. Notably, if step 3 only changes attributes of the text, like applying a strikethrough to a selection, then the full undo chain works. I can type, apply strikethrough, undo strikethrough, and undo typing. It's almost as if changing the text invalidates the undo manager's previous operations? How do I insert my own changes into UITextView's NSUndoManager without invalidating its chain of other operations?

Unable to Use DeviceActivityReport to Show Screen Time in App
Hi team. I am working on an app that uses the Screen Time API. I got access to the family controls (distribution) capability through the request process for my main app. I added a DeviceActivityReport extension in XCode, but haven't been able to get the extension to show up on the screen. I noticed that the extension only has the development version of the family controls capability available. Is this the source of my errors? I was able to get the screen time displayed in a test app I built where both the main app and extension used the development version of the capability, which led me to believe that discrepancy could be the issue. Let me know if there is anything I can provide to help in the debugging process. I didn't send a minimal example in this request due to the fact that I would have to remove most of my functionality to create a "minimal" example (since the signing is only for my main app), but I can do that if needed. Thanks! I looked through the logs in the console for the phone (I'm testing on a real iPhone 13 Pro Max), but didn't see anything that popped out after looking (not exactly sure what to look for though). STEPS TO REPRODUCE: Create an app with the Family Controls, Distribution capability. Then create the DeviceActivityReport with the Family Control, Development capability. Attempt to see the DeviceActivityReport in the main app. NOTE: I was successfully able to create a minimal test app completely separately that used the Development versions of the capabilities for both with the exact same extension code. That's why I think the issue could be due to the capability version discrepancy.

ActivityKit crashes when requesting to create a Live Activity
Our app occasionally crashes when creating a Live Activity using ActivityKit. Crash log analysis indicates a wild pointer issue originating within ActivityKit. The crash appears to be linked to the coexistence of multiple Live Activities. Could this be a compatibility issue with ActivityKit? We would appreciate any guidance or potential workarounds to resolve this issue. Looking forward to your response.

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/tab/init(value:content:label:)
As per the documentation link, the Tab initializer in SwiftUI should allow supplying a custom view to the Label. However, the colors used within the Label view are not being honored as expected. I attempted to set custom colors in the Label, but they either default to system-defined styles or are ignored entirely. This behavior does not align with my understanding of how custom views should work in SwiftUI's Label. Am I missing a step or configuration here, or is this a bug in the current implementation? struct ContentView: View { @State private var activeTab: TabItem = .homeTab var body: some View { TabView(selection: $activeTab) { ForEach(TabItem.allCases) { tabItem in Tab(value: tabItem) { getView(for: tabItem) } label: { VStack(spacing: 0) { MainTabButtonView( selected: activeTab == tabItem, tabItem: tabItem ) Text(tabItem.title) } } } } } } private extension ContentView { @ViewBuilder func getView(for tabItem: TabItem) -> some View { switch tabItem { case .homeTab: Text("Home") case .searchTab: Text("Search") case .profileTab: Text("Profile") case .moreTab: Text("More") } } } #Preview { ContentView() } enum TabItem: String, Identifiable, Hashable, CaseIterable { case homeTab case searchTab case profileTab case moreTab var tabImage: String { switch self { case .homeTab: "house" case .searchTab: "magnifying-glass" case .profileTab: "biographic" case .moreTab: "hamburger-menu" } } var title: String { switch self { case .homeTab: "Home" case .searchTab: "Search" case .profileTab: "Profile" case .moreTab: "More" } } var id: String { rawValue } } struct MainTabButtonView: View { private let selected: Bool private let tabItem: TabItem init( selected: Bool, tabItem: TabItem ) { self.selected = selected self.tabItem = tabItem } var body: some View { Image(tabItem.tabImage) .renderingMode(.template) .resizable() .aspectRatio(contentMode: .fill) .frame(width: 30, height: 30) .foregroundStyle( selected ? Color.green : Color.orange ) } } Expected Behavior: The custom colors applied within the Label should render as defined. Actual Behavior: The colors are overridden or ignored, defaulting to the system-defined styles. Environment: Xcode Version: Xcode 16.2 iOS: 18.2 Swift Version: Swift 6

SwiftData Migration Fail: What kind of backing data is this?
I'm trying to test migration between schemas but I cannot get it to work properly. I've never been able to get a complex migration to work properly unfortunately. I've removed a property and added 2 new ones to one of my data models. This is my current plan. enum MigrationV1toV2: SchemaMigrationPlan { static var schemas: [any VersionedSchema.Type] { [SchemaV1.self, SchemaV2.self] } static let migrateV1toV2 = MigrationStage.custom( fromVersion: SchemaV1.self, toVersion: SchemaV2.self, willMigrate: { context in print("Inside will migrate") // Get old months let oldMonths = try context.fetch(FetchDescriptor<SchemaV1.Month>()) print("Number of old months:\(oldMonths.count)") for oldMonth in oldMonths { // Convert to new month let newMonth = Month(name: oldMonth.name, year: oldMonth.year, limit: oldMonth.limit) print("Number of transactions in oldMonth: \(oldMonth.transactions?.count)") print("Number of transactions in newMonth: \(newMonth.transactions?.count)") // Convert transactions for transaction in oldMonth.transactions ??

At this point it fails with the following line: SwiftData/PersistentModel.swift:726: Fatal error: What kind of backing data is this? SwiftData._KKMDBackingData<Monthly.SchemaV1.Transaction> Anyone know what I can do about this?

iOS 18 crash issue for unnecessary dequeuing
My code extension MyViewController: UICollectionViewDelegate, UICollectionViewDataSource { func collectionView( _ collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath ) -> UICollectionViewCell { if let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell( withReuseIdentifier: "CollectionViewCellID", for: indexPath ) as? CollectionViewCell { cell.setup() return cell } return UICollectionViewCell() } func collectionView( _ collectionView: UICollectionView, didSelectItemAt indexPath: IndexPath ) { // Unnecessary dequeue guard collectionView.dequeueReusableCell( withReuseIdentifier: "CollectionViewCellID", for: indexPath ) is CollectionViewCell else { return } // My action for selecting cell print("Cell Selected") } } Error: *** Assertion failure in -[UICollectionView _updateVisibleCellsNow:], UICollectionView.m:5673 *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Expected dequeued view to be returned to the collection view in preparation for display. When the collection view's data source is asked to provide a view for a given index path, ensure that a single view is dequeued and returned to the collection view. Avoid dequeuing views without a request from the collection view. For retrieving an existing view in the collection view, use -[UICollectionView cellForItemAtIndexPath:] or -[UICollectionView supplementaryViewForElementKind:atIndexPath:]. Solution: The problem was doing unnecessary dequeuing in didSelectItemAt when selecting the cell. In previous iOS like 17 or 16 or lower, it was allowed to dequeue where it is not really needed but from iOS 18, it may restricted to unnecessary dequeuing. So better to remove dequeue and use cellForItem(at) if we need to get cell from collection view. Example extension MyViewController: UICollectionViewDelegate, UICollectionViewDataSource { func collectionView( _ collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath ) -> UICollectionViewCell { if let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell( withReuseIdentifier: "CollectionViewCellID", for: indexPath ) as? CollectionViewCell { cell.setup() return cell } return UICollectionViewCell() } func collectionView( _ collectionView: UICollectionView, didSelectItemAt indexPath: IndexPath ) { guard collectionView.cellForItem(at: indexPath) is CollectionViewCell else { return } // My action for selecting cell print("Cell Selected") } }

FirstResponderView/FirstResponderIndexPath in TableView
I found when I put a webView on the screen and then remove it, several properties in TableView including firstResponderView, FirstResponderIndexPath, and FirstResponderViewType have changed. These properties are hidden and I cannot change them. firstResponderView strong holds my cell, resulting in my cell not being able to call didEndDisplayCell when it slides out of the screen as expected. What should I do to avoid firstResponderView from strong holding my cell, or what should I do to release it?

Monitoring of the paste(GUI based) operation
I am working on the EndPoint DLP solution project. So I want to monitor the paste operation peformed by the user. So when he uses the keyboard keys then I can monitor them using the event callback. But if user uses the GUI for pasting the data then how can I monitor that ?

MacCatalyst Scene Frame needs adjustment
I don't know why, but for my MacCatalyst target, I have to make my view controller Y orgin 36 and the subtract the view height by 36 points, or the view is clipped. The following works in my main UIViewController, but feels super hacky. I'd feel better if I understood the issue and addressed it properly. override func viewWillLayoutSubviews() { super.viewWillLayoutSubviews() #if targetEnvironment(macCatalyst) if view.frame.origin.y < 1 { let f = UIApplication.shared.sceneBounds let newFrame = CGRect(x: 0.0, y: 36, width: f.size.width, height: f.size.height - 36) self.view.frame = newFrame } #endif } My guess is it starts the view under the title bar, but I have these set in the view controller: self.extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars = false self.edgesForExtendedLayout = []

Buttons not clickable after installing the app with Swift 6
Does anyone have a problem with buttons not clickable in the lists of elements? If I have a list of 30 elements, some of them are clickable and some not. The button is a basic button that prints something in the console. After refresh, click ability is changed but still some clickable and some not. It appears always when compiling with Swift 6. My colleague has the "old" Xcode 15.4 with Swift 5 and when he installs exactly the same code -> buttons and lists work just fine. I noticed some similar issues with onTapGesture on StackOverflow but my problem is a button. However, I have the same problem with onTapGesture (where I use it) in some of my View components and changing it with highPriorityGesture will not solve the problem since I can't click on the child elements of those Views anymore... I'm using Xcode 16.2 and iOS 18.2. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this?

What is the designated way to do custom background drawing in TextKit 2 when using UITextView/NSTextView?
In TextKit 1, I can override drawBackground(forGlyphRange:at:) in NSLayoutManager to do custom background drawing. However, I'm not too sure what the designated way of doing background drawing is in TextKit 2. One thing I've tried is to do custom drawing in my own CALayer that's used in the configureRenderingSurface delegate callback, but I'm unsure if we are suppose to use this API and steal the textViewportLayoutController.delegate away from _UITextLayoutcanvasView?

Bidirectional Text Rendering Issue in Swift UILabel for Arabic
I'm encountering an issue displaying a large HTML string (over 11470 characters) in a UILabel. Specifically, the Arabic text within the string is rendering left-to-right instead of the correct right-to-left direction. I've provided a truncated version of the HTML string and the relevant code snippet below. I've tried setting the UILabel's text alignment to right, but this didn't resolve the issue. Could you please advise on how to resolve this bidirectional text rendering problem? The results of the correct and incorrect approaches are shown in the image below. Here's the relevant Swift code: let labelView: UILabel = { let label = UILabel() label.textAlignment = .right label.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false label.numberOfLines = 0 label.semanticContentAttribute = .forceRightToLeft label.backgroundColor = .white label.lineBreakMode = .byWordWrapping return label }() //Important!! //It must exceed 11470 characters. let htmlString = """ &lt;p style=\"text-align: center;\"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;İSTİÂZE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Nahl sûresindeki:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="rtl" lang="ar"&gt; فَاِذَا قَرَاْتَ الْقُرْاٰنَ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللّٰهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّج۪يمِ &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kur’an okuyacağın zaman kovulmuş şeytandan hemen Allah’a sığın!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;”&lt;/strong&gt; (Nahl 16/98) emri gereğince Kur’ân-ı Kerîm okumaya başlarken:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="rtl" lang="ar"&gt;اَعُوذُ بِاللّٰهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّج۪يمِ&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Kovulmuş şeytandan Allah’a sığınırım” &lt;/em&gt;deriz. Bu sözü söylemeye “istiâze&lt;em&gt;” denilir. “Eûzü”&lt;/em&gt;, sığınırım, emân dilerim, yardım taleb ederim, gibi anlamlara gelir. It must exceed 11470 characters.&lt;/p&gt; “”” if let data = htmlString.data(using: .utf8) { let options: [NSAttributedString.DocumentReadingOptionKey: Any] = [ .documentType: NSAttributedString.DocumentType.html, .characterEncoding: String.Encoding.utf8.rawValue ] do { let attributedString = try NSAttributedString(data: data, options: options, documentAttributes: nil) labelView.attributedText = attributedString } catch { print("HTML string işlenirken hata oluştu: \(error)") } } I'm using iOS 18.2 and Swift 6. Any suggestions on how to correct the bidirectional text rendering?

QLPreviewingController can access previewed file, but cannot load files referenced by the previewed file
I have an app on the Mac App Store (so sandboxed) that includes a QuickLook Preview Extension that targets Markdown files. It established a QLPreviewingController instance for the macOS QuickLook system to access and it works. I'm in the process of updating it so that it displays inline images referenced in the file as well as styling the file's text. However, despite setting Downloads folder read-only access permission (and user-selected, though I know that shouldn't be required: no open/save dialogs here) in the extension's entitlements, Sandbox refuses too allow access to the test image: I always get a deny(1) file-read-data error in the log. FWIW, the test file is referenced in the source Markdown as an absolute unix file path. I've tried different signings and no joy. I’ve tried placing the referenced image in various other locations. Also no joy. All I can display is the error-case bundle image for 'missing image'. Question is, is this simply something that QuickLook extensions cannot do from within the sandbox, or am I missing something? Is there anything extra I can do to debug this?

Adopt UIFindInteraction across multiple views
We are currently trying to adopt the newly introduced find bar in our app. The app: The app is a text editor with a main text view. However it includes nested views (for text like footnotes) that are presented as modal sheets. So you tap on the footnote within the main text, a form sheet is presented with the contents of the footnote ready to be edited. We have an existing search implementation, but are eager to move to the system-provided UI. Connecting the find bar through a custom UIFindSession with our existing implementation is working without any issues. The Problem: Searching for text does not only work in the main text view, but also nested text (like footnotes). Let's say I have a text containing the word "iPhone" both in the main text and the footnote. In our existing implementation, stepping from the search match to the next one would open the modal and highlight the match in the nested text. The keyboard would stay open. With the new UIFindInteraction this is not working however. As soon as a modal form sheet is presented, the find interaction closes. By looking at the stack trace I can see a private class called UIInputWindowController that cleans up input accessory views after the modal gets presented. I believe it is causing the find panel to give up its first responder state. I noticed that opening popovers appears to be working fine. Is there a way to alter the presentation of the nested text so that the view is either not modal or able to preserve the current find session? Or is this unsupported behavior and we should try and look for a different way? The thing that really confuses me is that this appears to work without issue in Notes.app. There the find bar is implemented as well. There are multiple views that can be presented while the find bar is open. Move Note is one of them. The view appears as a modal sheet. It keeps the find bar open and active, though its tint color matches the deactivated one of the main Notes view. The find bar is still functional with the text field being active and the overlay updating in the background. This behavior appears to be a bug in the Notes app, but is exactly what we want for our use case. I attached some images: Two are from the Notes app, two from a test project demonstrating the problem. Opening a modal view closes the find bar there.
