DocumentGroupLaunchScene corrupts the toolbar for DocumentGroup content views.
The sample code provided in "Building a document-based app with SwiftUI" (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/building-a-document-based-app-with-swiftui) does not work as expected. The DocumentGroup/StoryView toolbar does not appear for documents opened in the App. By removing the DocumentGroupLaunchScene block from the App the toolbar does appear and works as expected - but of course the App's DocumentGroupLaunchScene customizations are lost. I've tested this on 18.0 devices, as well as production 18.0 and 18.1 beta 6 simulators. If I modify the StoryView by wrapping the content in a NavigationStack I can make some progress - but the results are unstable and hard to pin down - with this change the first time a document is opened in the WritingApp the toolbar appears as expected. When opening a document subsequently the toolbar is corrupted. Please is this a bug or is there a good example of incorporate both DocumentGroupLaunchScene customizations at the App level and retina the toolbar in documents presented via DocumentGroup?

Critical Bug in iOS 18.1 RC and watchOS 11.1 RC - WidgetKit Complications Not Syncing
I've encountered a major issue with the iOS 18.1 RC and watchOS 11.1 RC. It appears that complications running on WidgetKit cannot be synced as .watchface to these new release candidates. The error message indicates that "the Watch Faces app and complication are not available," which is affecting all apps utilizing WidgetKit. This issue renders all WidgetKit-based complications unusable on watchOS 11.1 RC. It’s a serious problem for those of us who rely on these complications for our apps and for users expecting consistent functionality. APPLE, PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE ASAP! This bug is a significant setback for developers and users alike, and any guidance or updates would be greatly appreciated.

AreaMark Always alignsMarkStylesWithPlotArea for linear gradients
I'm trying to make a Swift Chart where 24 AreaMarks an hour apart on X axis over a day display a vertical gradient. The gradient is vertical and is essentially [Color.opacity(0.1),Colour,Color.opacity(0.1] The idea here is where the upper and lower points of each AreaMark are the same or close to each other in the Y axis, the chart essentially displays a line, where they are far apart you get a nice fading vertical gradient. However, it seems that the .alignsMarkStylesWithPlotArea modifier is always set for AreaMarks even if manually applying it false. Investigating further, I've learnt that with AreaMarks in a series, Swift Charts seems to only listen to the first foreground style set in. I've created some sample code to demonstrate this. struct DemoChartView: View { var body: some View { Chart { AreaMark(x: .value("Time", Date().addingTimeInterval(0)), yStart: .value("1", 40), yEnd: .value("2", 60)) .foregroundStyle(LinearGradient(colors: [.pink, .teal], startPoint: .top, endPoint: .bottom)) .alignsMarkStylesWithPlotArea(false) AreaMark(x: .value("Time", Date().addingTimeInterval(3600)), yStart: .value("1", 44), yEnd: .value("2", 58)) .foregroundStyle(LinearGradient(colors: [.orange, .yellow], startPoint: .top, endPoint: .bottom)) .alignsMarkStylesWithPlotArea(false) AreaMark(x: .value("Time", Date().addingTimeInterval(03600*2)), yStart: .value("1", 50), yEnd: .value("2", 90)) .foregroundStyle(LinearGradient(colors: [.green, .blue], startPoint: .top, endPoint: .bottom)) .alignsMarkStylesWithPlotArea(false) } } } Which produces this: So here, all the different .foregroundStyle LinearGradients are being ignored AND the .alignsMarkStylesWithPlotArea(false) is also ignored - the amount of pink on the first mark is different to the second and third 🤷‍♂️ Has anyone encountered this. Are AreaMarks the correct choice or are they just not setup to create this type of data display. Thanks

iOS 18.1 crash UIHostingView.layoutSubviews() / swift_unknownObjectWeakAssign / objc_storeWeak
We're seeing sporadic crashes on devices running iOS 18.1 - both beta and release builds (22B83). The stack trace is always identical, a snippet of it below. As you can tell from the trace, it's happening in places we embed SwiftUI into UIKit via UIHostingController. Anyone else seeing this? 4 libobjc.A.dylib 0xbe2c _objc_fatalv(unsigned long long, unsigned long long, char const*, char*) + 30 5 libobjc.A.dylib 0xb040 weak_register_no_lock + 396 6 libobjc.A.dylib 0xac50 objc_storeWeak + 472 7 libswiftCore.dylib 0x43ac34 swift_unknownObjectWeakAssign + 24 8 SwiftUI 0xeb74c8 _UIHostingView.base.getter + 160 9 SwiftUI 0x92124 _UIHostingView.layoutSubviews() + 112 10 SwiftUI 0x47860 @objc _UIHostingView.layoutSubviews() + 36

What's the best way to support Genmoji with SwiftUI?
I want to support Genmoji input in my SwiftUI TextField or TextEditor, but looking around, it seems there's no SwiftUI only way to do it? If none, it's kind of disappointing that they're saying SwiftUI is the path forward, but not updating it with support for new technologies. Going back, does this mean we can only support Genmoji through UITextField and UIViewRepresentable? or there more direct options? Btw, I'm also using SwiftData for storage.

How can I make an "inverted" list (bottom to top) with SwiftUI?
I'm trying to figure out how to make an inverted list in my watchOS app for a message view, so that messages appear from the bottom first, and go up. Everything I've tried so far has some sort of major drawback, and I'm wondering if there's some proper way to do it. My current implementation is flipping every message item upside-down, then flipping the whole list upside-down. This works in making the list go from bottom to top, but the digital crown scroll direction is also inverted. Simply inverting the array of messages doesn't work either, as the user has to scroll to the bottom of the list manually every time. Any tips/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Carousel Flicker
Hi, I've created an carousel using an Tabview component and it is divided in pages, each page has 7 items. Now we wan't to load the carousel page by page, but whenever I updated the list which Tabview uses to render, it flickers because it rerenders previous elements. I've tried to use a scroll view for this but this app is for Vision Pro and I added some 3D transformations (position/rotation) to the cards from the tabview and when I added this in the scrollview they becom unclickable. Do you have any sugestions what can I do? Bellow is a sample of the code, I put [items] just to suggest there is a list. VStack (spacing: 45) { TabView(selection: $navigationModel.carouselSelectedPage) { let orderedArtist = [items] let numberOfPages = Int((Double(orderedArtist.count) / Double(cardsPerPage)).rounded(.up)) if(numberOfPages != 1){ Spacer().tag(-1) } ForEach(0..<numberOfPages, id: \.self) { page in LazyHStack(alignment: .top, spacing: 16){ ForEach(0..<cardsPerPage, id: \.self) { index in if(page * cardsPerPage + index < orderedArtist.count){ let item = orderedArtist[page * cardsPerPage + index] GeometryReader{proxy in

App Shortcuts: Invalid parameter type. AppEntity and AppEnum are the only allowed types...
Hi! So while Date is supported for @Parameter in an App Intent, I just discovered that Xcode will not let me use use it in a parametrized App Shortcut phrase. In my case, I would like to give the option to say "today", tomorrow", or "day after tomorrow" for the date. Am I missing something? Any hints on the best way to approach this?

Can I tell when my iOS Widget is running on MacOS (when Use IPhone Widgets is on)
I have an iOS Widget that also can load on the Mac when the Use iPhone Widgets setting is turned on on the Mac in Desktop & Dock. I want to use a different url scheme to open video clips from the widget if it is being clicked on iOS or the Mac. I tried using ProcessInfo.processInfo.isiOSAppOnMac but it always thinks it is on iOS. I also tried looking for the user document path to see if it was /var/mobile/ or /Users/. but it always thinks it is /var/mobile. I assume this is as it is not really a catalyst app but a WidgetKit extension from the phone. Is there anyway I can figure out when the widget is running on the mac? Thanks!

Changing focus state in onSubmit causes keyboard to bounce
Is there any way to prevent the keyboard from bouncing when changing the focus state in onSubmit? Or is it not recommended to change focus in onSubmit? The following view is setup so that pressing return on the keyboard should cause focus to move between the TextFields. struct TextFieldFocusState: View { enum Field { case field1 case field2 } @FocusState var focusedField: Field? var body: some View { Form { TextField("Field 1", text: .constant("")) .focused($focusedField, equals: .field1) .onSubmit { focusedField = .field2 } TextField("Field 2", text: .constant("")) .focused($focusedField, equals: .field2) .onSubmit { focusedField = .field1 } } } } I would expect that when pressing return, the keyboard would say on screen. What actually happens is the keyboard appears to bounce when the return key is pressed (first half of gif). I assume this is because onSubmit starts dismissing the keyboard then setting the focus state causes the keyboard to be presented again. The issue doesn't occur when tapping directly on the text fields to change focus (second half of gif).

Dock tile plugin and app groups
In one of my apps I use an app group to share data between the app and a command line tool. This works as expected. The app also contains a Dock Tile plugin and I wonder if there's a way to access the group container from this plugin? Thanks in advance for your help. Best regards, Marc

Animated Custom Transitions Crash using Swift 6
When you apply an animation to a custom Transition in Swift 6, it is likely that that the app will crash with a SwiftUI.AsyncRenderer dispatch_assert_queue_fail error. Non-animated Transitions do not crash nor do animated system transitions. If you use ViewModifiers to create an AnyTransition with the .modifier(active:, identity:) static method, there is no problem. I used the example Transition in the docs for Transition to illustrate this problem. I'm using Xcode 16.2 RC and Swift 6, running iOS 18.1.1 on an iPhone 16 Pro. I've created two separate Previews that illustrate what specifically crashes the app and what doesn't as well as a workaround for this bug. func generateRandomString() -> String { let characters = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789" return String((0..<10).compactMap { _ in characters.randomElement() }) } // MARK: Works extension AnyTransition { struct RotatingFadeTransitionModifier: ViewModifier { let opacity: CGFloat let rotation: Angle func body(content: Content) -> some View { content .opacity(opacity) .rotationEffect(rotation) } } static var rotatingFade: AnyTransition { .asymmetric( insertion: .modifier( active: RotatingFadeTransitionModifier(opacity: 0, rotation: .degrees(30)), identity: RotatingFadeTransitionModifier(opacity: 1, rotation: .zero) ), removal: .modifier( active: RotatingFadeTransitionModifier(opacity: 0, rotation: .degrees(-30)), identity: RotatingFadeTransitionModifier(opacity: 1, rotation: .zero) ) ) } } struct WorkingTransitionView: View { @State private var text: String = "some string" var body: some View { VStack(spacing: 32) { Text("system transition: \(text)") .id(text) .transition(.slide) // Gets the explicit Button animation applied instead of // the transition animation Text("animated system transition: \(text)") .id(text) .transition(.slide.animation(.bouncy(duration: 0.5))) Text("custom transition: \(text)") .id(text) .transition(.rotatingFade) Text("animated custom transition: \(text)") .id(text) .transition(.rotatingFade.animation(.bouncy( extraBounce: 0.5))) Button("animated randomize - safe") { withAnimation(.smooth(duration: 5.45, extraBounce: 0.15)) { text = generateRandomString() } } } } } // MARK: Crashes struct RotatingFadeTransition: Transition { func body(content: Content, phase: TransitionPhase) -> some View { content .opacity(phase.isIdentity ? 1.0 : 0.0) .rotationEffect(phase.rotation) } } extension TransitionPhase { fileprivate var rotation: Angle { switch self { case .willAppear: .degrees(30) case .identity: .zero case .didDisappear: .degrees(-30) } } } struct CrashingTransitionView: View { @State private var text: String = "some string" @State private var presentCustomTransitionText: Bool = false @State private var presentAnimatedCustomTransitionText: Bool = false var body: some View { VStack(spacing: 32) { Text("on 1-5 attempts generally, animated custom Transitions will crash with a SwiftUI.AsyncRenderer dispatch_assert_queue_fail") Divider() textWithSafeSystemTransition if presentCustomTransitionText { textWithCustomTransition } if presentAnimatedCustomTransitionText { textWithAnimatedCustomTransition } Divider() Text("Randomization") Button("randomize - won't crash non-animated custom transition text") { text = generateRandomString() } Button("animated randomize - will crash any custom transition text") { withAnimation(.smooth(duration: 0.45, extraBounce: 0.15)) { text = generateRandomString() } } Divider() Text("Text Presentation") Button("present non-animated custom transition text") { presentCustomTransitionText = true } Button("present animated custom transition text") { presentAnimatedCustomTransitionText = true } } } private var textWithSafeSystemTransition: some View { Text("safe, system transition: \(text)") .id(text) .transition(.slide) } private var textWithCustomTransition: some View { Text("safe text, custom transition: \(text)") .id(text) .transition(RotatingFadeTransition()) } private var textWithAnimatedCustomTransition: some View { Text("crashing text: \(text)") .id(text) .transition(RotatingFadeTransition().animation(.smooth)) } } #Preview("Working Code") { WorkingTransitionView() } #Preview("Crashing Code") { CrashingTransitionView() }

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() }

[UIViewController willMoveToParentViewController:] provides an incorrect navStack when popping a view controller in iPadOS 18.2
The Apple documentation for [UIViewController willMoveToParentViewController:] states, Called just before the view controller is added or removed from a container view controller. Hence, the view controller being popped should appear at the top of the navStack when willMoveToParentViewController: is called. In iPadOS 16 and 17 the view controller being popped appears at the top of the navStack when willMoveToParentViewController: is called. In iPadOS 18 the view controller being popped has already been (incorrectly) removed from the navStack. We confirmed this bug using iPadOS 18.2 as well as 18.0. Our app relies upon the contents of the navStack within willMoveToParentViewController: to track the user's location within a folder hierarchy. Our app works smoothly on iPadOS 16 and 17. Conversely, our customers running iPadOS 18 have lost client data and corrupted their data folders as a result of this bug! These customers are angry -- not surprisingly, some have asked for refunds and submitted negative app reviews. Why doesn't willMoveToParentViewController: provide the correct navStack in iPadOS 18.2?

.navigationTitle causes hang when creating a new item on a separate page, then navigating back to a TabView with PageTabViewStyle that is displaying that data on iOS 18.2
After a lot of testing and diagnosing, I found that when going to a item creation page, creating an item, navigating back to a TabView with a tabViewStyle of PageTabViewStyle and a navigationTitle that is displaying that data, and all inside of a NavigationStack, the app hangs. I have tested this on iOS 18.2, on both a simulator and a physical iPhone 16 Pro Max, and it always hangs, not crashing. However, when run on My Mac (Designed for iPad) and the iPad simulator, it doesn't crash. This could just be a really niche problem, but it might be the result of some other issue that could cause other problems. I have created a minimal reproducible example, stemming from the iOS App template, with SwiftUI and SwiftData. ContentView.swift import SwiftUI import SwiftData struct ContentView: View { @Environment(\.modelContext) private var modelContext @Query private var items: [Item] var body: some View { NavigationStack { TabView { ForEach(items) { item in Text(item.timestamp, format: Date.FormatStyle(date: .numeric, time: .standard)) } } .tabViewStyle(PageTabViewStyle(indexDisplayMode: .automatic)) .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .navigationBarTrailing) { NavigationLink { Button(action: { modelContext.insert(Item(timestamp: Date())) }) { Text("Create Item") } } label: { Text("Creation Page") } } } // When added, crashes the app .navigationTitle("Crash") } } } TestingApp.swift (unchanged) import SwiftUI import SwiftData @main struct TestingApp: App { var sharedModelContainer: ModelContainer = { let schema = Schema([ Item.self, ]) let modelConfiguration = ModelConfiguration(schema: schema, isStoredInMemoryOnly: false) do { return try ModelContainer(for: schema, configurations: [modelConfiguration]) } catch { fatalError("Could not create ModelContainer: \(error)") } }() var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() } .modelContainer(sharedModelContainer) } } Item.swift (unchanged) import Foundation import SwiftData @Model final class Item { var timestamp: Date init(timestamp: Date) { self.timestamp = timestamp } }

iOS app crash at -[UIView _wrappedProcessTraitChanges:withBehavior:] + 1288 (UIView.m:0)
Hello Apple engineers, could you help me understand whether this crash is a UIKit bug or something in our code that causes it. Based on the documentation it is an invalid fetch instruction, that's why I suspect UIKit. I've found a similar crash here on the forums reported a year ago, it seemed to be a UIKit bug - https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/729448.

LiveActivity on device with Dynamic Island
I am developing a live activity for my app and am running into issues on devices with dynamic islands. The live activity will randomly get in a state where it displays a spinner and does not update. For devices without dynamic islands, the activity works perfectly fine. I have tried breaking down the views to determine the root cause, but at times it seems very random. These are all TestFlight builds as we are currently developing the feature. I have tried using the console app and looking at the various processes that have been called out in other threads and cannot see any actual errors being logged. Looking for any pointers on how to pinpoint the root cause of this issue.

Are AreaMarks the correct choice or are they just not setup to create this type of data display. Thanks

How can I make a popover stay visible when my Catalyst app loses focus?
I have a Catalyst app that uses popovers frequently, and I'd love to have them stay active when the app loses focus. It appears this is controlled in a native AppKit app via NSPopover.Behavior. Is this functionality exposed somewhere in Catalyst?

iOS 18.1 crash UIHostingView.layoutSubviews() / swift_unknownObjectWeakAssign / objc_storeWeak
We're seeing sporadic crashes on devices running iOS 18.1 - both beta and release builds (22B83). The stack trace is always identical, a snippet of it below. As you can tell from the trace, it's happening in places we embed SwiftUI into UIKit via UIHostingController. Anyone else seeing this? 4 libobjc.A.dylib 0xbe2c _objc_fatalv(unsigned long long, unsigned long long, char const*, char*) + 30 5 libobjc.A.dylib 0xb040 weak_register_no_lock + 396 6 libobjc.A.dylib 0xac50 objc_storeWeak + 472 7 libswiftCore.dylib 0x43ac34 swift_unknownObjectWeakAssign + 24 8 SwiftUI 0xeb74c8 _UIHostingView.base.getter + 160 9 SwiftUI 0x92124 _UIHostingView.layoutSubviews() + 112 10 SwiftUI 0x47860 @objc _UIHostingView.layoutSubviews() + 36

What's the best way to support Genmoji with SwiftUI?
I want to support Genmoji input in my SwiftUI TextField or TextEditor, but looking around, it seems there's no SwiftUI only way to do it? If none, it's kind of disappointing that they're saying SwiftUI is the path forward, but not updating it with support for new technologies. Going back, does this mean we can only support Genmoji through UITextField and UIViewRepresentable? or there more direct options? Btw, I'm also using SwiftData for storage.

How can I make an "inverted" list (bottom to top) with SwiftUI?
I'm trying to figure out how to make an inverted list in my watchOS app for a message view, so that messages appear from the bottom first, and go up. Everything I've tried so far has some sort of major drawback, and I'm wondering if there's some proper way to do it. My current implementation is flipping every message item upside-down, then flipping the whole list upside-down. This works in making the list go from bottom to top, but the digital crown scroll direction is also inverted. Simply inverting the array of messages doesn't work either, as the user has to scroll to the bottom of the list manually every time. Any tips/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Carousel Flicker
Hi, I've created an carousel using an Tabview component and it is divided in pages, each page has 7 items. Now we wan't to load the carousel page by page, but whenever I updated the list which Tabview uses to render, it flickers because it rerenders previous elements. I've tried to use a scroll view for this but this app is for Vision Pro and I added some 3D transformations (position/rotation) to the cards from the tabview and when I added this in the scrollview they becom unclickable. Do you have any sugestions what can I do? Bellow is a sample of the code, I put [items] just to suggest there is a list. VStack (spacing: 45) { TabView(selection: $navigationModel.carouselSelectedPage) { let orderedArtist = [items] let numberOfPages = Int((Double(orderedArtist.count) / Double(cardsPerPage)).rounded(.up)) if(numberOfPages != 1){ Spacer().tag(-1) } ForEach(0..<numberOfPages, id: \.self) { page in LazyHStack(alignment: .top, spacing: 16){ ForEach(0..<cardsPerPage, id: \.self) { index in if(page * cardsPerPage + index < orderedArtist.count){ let item = orderedArtist[page * cardsPerPage + index] GeometryReader{proxy in

App Shortcuts: Invalid parameter type. AppEntity and AppEnum are the only allowed types...
Hi! So while Date is supported for @Parameter in an App Intent, I just discovered that Xcode will not let me use use it in a parametrized App Shortcut phrase. In my case, I would like to give the option to say "today", tomorrow", or "day after tomorrow" for the date. Am I missing something? Any hints on the best way to approach this?

Can I tell when my iOS Widget is running on MacOS (when Use IPhone Widgets is on)
I have an iOS Widget that also can load on the Mac when the Use iPhone Widgets setting is turned on on the Mac in Desktop & Dock. I want to use a different url scheme to open video clips from the widget if it is being clicked on iOS or the Mac. I tried using ProcessInfo.processInfo.isiOSAppOnMac but it always thinks it is on iOS. I also tried looking for the user document path to see if it was /var/mobile/ or /Users/. but it always thinks it is /var/mobile. I assume this is as it is not really a catalyst app but a WidgetKit extension from the phone. Is there anyway I can figure out when the widget is running on the mac? Thanks!

Changing focus state in onSubmit causes keyboard to bounce
Is there any way to prevent the keyboard from bouncing when changing the focus state in onSubmit? Or is it not recommended to change focus in onSubmit? The following view is setup so that pressing return on the keyboard should cause focus to move between the TextFields. struct TextFieldFocusState: View { enum Field { case field1 case field2 } @FocusState var focusedField: Field? var body: some View { Form { TextField("Field 1", text: .constant("")) .focused($focusedField, equals: .field1) .onSubmit { focusedField = .field2 } TextField("Field 2", text: .constant("")) .focused($focusedField, equals: .field2) .onSubmit { focusedField = .field1 } } } } I would expect that when pressing return, the keyboard would say on screen. What actually happens is the keyboard appears to bounce when the return key is pressed (first half of gif). I assume this is because onSubmit starts dismissing the keyboard then setting the focus state causes the keyboard to be presented again. The issue doesn't occur when tapping directly on the text fields to change focus (second half of gif).

Dock tile plugin and app groups
In one of my apps I use an app group to share data between the app and a command line tool. This works as expected. The app also contains a Dock Tile plugin and I wonder if there's a way to access the group container from this plugin? Thanks in advance for your help. Best regards, Marc

Animated Custom Transitions Crash using Swift 6
When you apply an animation to a custom Transition in Swift 6, it is likely that that the app will crash with a SwiftUI.AsyncRenderer dispatch_assert_queue_fail error. Non-animated Transitions do not crash nor do animated system transitions. If you use ViewModifiers to create an AnyTransition with the .modifier(active:, identity:) static method, there is no problem. I used the example Transition in the docs for Transition to illustrate this problem. I'm using Xcode 16.2 RC and Swift 6, running iOS 18.1.1 on an iPhone 16 Pro. I've created two separate Previews that illustrate what specifically crashes the app and what doesn't as well as a workaround for this bug. func generateRandomString() -> String { let characters = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789" return String((0..<10).compactMap { _ in characters.randomElement() }) } // MARK: Works extension AnyTransition { struct RotatingFadeTransitionModifier: ViewModifier { let opacity: CGFloat let rotation: Angle func body(content: Content) -> some View { content .opacity(opacity) .rotationEffect(rotation) } } static var rotatingFade: AnyTransition { .asymmetric( insertion: .modifier( active: RotatingFadeTransitionModifier(opacity: 0, rotation: .degrees(30)), identity: RotatingFadeTransitionModifier(opacity: 1, rotation: .zero) ), removal: .modifier( active: RotatingFadeTransitionModifier(opacity: 0, rotation: .degrees(-30)), identity: RotatingFadeTransitionModifier(opacity: 1, rotation: .zero) ) ) } } struct WorkingTransitionView: View { @State private var text: String = "some string" var body: some View { VStack(spacing: 32) { Text("system transition: \(text)") .id(text) .transition(.slide) // Gets the explicit Button animation applied instead of // the transition animation Text("animated system transition: \(text)") .id(text) .transition(.slide.animation(.bouncy(duration: 0.5))) Text("custom transition: \(text)") .id(text) .transition(.rotatingFade) Text("animated custom transition: \(text)") .id(text) .transition(.rotatingFade.animation(.bouncy( extraBounce: 0.5))) Button("animated randomize - safe") { withAnimation(.smooth(duration: 5.45, extraBounce: 0.15)) { text = generateRandomString() } } } } } // MARK: Crashes struct RotatingFadeTransition: Transition { func body(content: Content, phase: TransitionPhase) -> some View { content .opacity(phase.isIdentity ? 1.0 : 0.0) .rotationEffect(phase.rotation) } } extension TransitionPhase { fileprivate var rotation: Angle { switch self { case .willAppear: .degrees(30) case .identity: .zero case .didDisappear: .degrees(-30) } } } struct CrashingTransitionView: View { @State private var text: String = "some string" @State private var presentCustomTransitionText: Bool = false @State private var presentAnimatedCustomTransitionText: Bool = false var body: some View { VStack(spacing: 32) { Text("on 1-5 attempts generally, animated custom Transitions will crash with a SwiftUI.AsyncRenderer dispatch_assert_queue_fail") Divider() textWithSafeSystemTransition if presentCustomTransitionText { textWithCustomTransition } if presentAnimatedCustomTransitionText { textWithAnimatedCustomTransition } Divider() Text("Randomization") Button("randomize - won't crash non-animated custom transition text") { text = generateRandomString() } Button("animated randomize - will crash any custom transition text") { withAnimation(.smooth(duration: 0.45, extraBounce: 0.15)) { text = generateRandomString() } } Divider() Text("Text Presentation") Button("present non-animated custom transition text") { presentCustomTransitionText = true } Button("present animated custom transition text") { presentAnimatedCustomTransitionText = true } } } private var textWithSafeSystemTransition: some View { Text("safe, system transition: \(text)") .id(text) .transition(.slide) } private var textWithCustomTransition: some View { Text("safe text, custom transition: \(text)") .id(text) .transition(RotatingFadeTransition()) } private var textWithAnimatedCustomTransition: some View { Text("crashing text: \(text)") .id(text) .transition(RotatingFadeTransition().animation(.smooth)) } } #Preview("Working Code") { WorkingTransitionView() } #Preview("Crashing Code") { CrashingTransitionView() }

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() }

[UIViewController willMoveToParentViewController:] provides an incorrect navStack when popping a view controller in iPadOS 18.2
The Apple documentation for [UIViewController willMoveToParentViewController:] states, Called just before the view controller is added or removed from a container view controller. Hence, the view controller being popped should appear at the top of the navStack when willMoveToParentViewController: is called. In iPadOS 16 and 17 the view controller being popped appears at the top of the navStack when willMoveToParentViewController: is called. In iPadOS 18 the view controller being popped has already been (incorrectly) removed from the navStack. We confirmed this bug using iPadOS 18.2 as well as 18.0. Our app relies upon the contents of the navStack within willMoveToParentViewController: to track the user's location within a folder hierarchy. Our app works smoothly on iPadOS 16 and 17. Conversely, our customers running iPadOS 18 have lost client data and corrupted their data folders as a result of this bug! These customers are angry -- not surprisingly, some have asked for refunds and submitted negative app reviews. Why doesn't willMoveToParentViewController: provide the correct navStack in iPadOS 18.2?

.navigationTitle causes hang when creating a new item on a separate page, then navigating back to a TabView with PageTabViewStyle that is displaying that data on iOS 18.2
After a lot of testing and diagnosing, I found that when going to a item creation page, creating an item, navigating back to a TabView with a tabViewStyle of PageTabViewStyle and a navigationTitle that is displaying that data, and all inside of a NavigationStack, the app hangs. I have tested this on iOS 18.2, on both a simulator and a physical iPhone 16 Pro Max, and it always hangs, not crashing. However, when run on My Mac (Designed for iPad) and the iPad simulator, it doesn't crash. This could just be a really niche problem, but it might be the result of some other issue that could cause other problems. I have created a minimal reproducible example, stemming from the iOS App template, with SwiftUI and SwiftData. ContentView.swift import SwiftUI import SwiftData struct ContentView: View { @Environment(\.modelContext) private var modelContext @Query private var items: [Item] var body: some View { NavigationStack { TabView { ForEach(items) { item in Text(item.timestamp, format: Date.FormatStyle(date: .numeric, time: .standard)) } } .tabViewStyle(PageTabViewStyle(indexDisplayMode: .automatic)) .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .navigationBarTrailing) { NavigationLink { Button(action: { modelContext.insert(Item(timestamp: Date())) }) { Text("Create Item") } } label: { Text("Creation Page") } } } // When added, crashes the app .navigationTitle("Crash") } } } TestingApp.swift (unchanged) import SwiftUI import SwiftData @main struct TestingApp: App { var sharedModelContainer: ModelContainer = { let schema = Schema([ Item.self, ]) let modelConfiguration = ModelConfiguration(schema: schema, isStoredInMemoryOnly: false) do { return try ModelContainer(for: schema, configurations: [modelConfiguration]) } catch { fatalError("Could not create ModelContainer: \(error)") } }() var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() } .modelContainer(sharedModelContainer) } } Item.swift (unchanged) import Foundation import SwiftData @Model final class Item { var timestamp: Date init(timestamp: Date) { self.timestamp = timestamp } }

iOS app crash at -[UIView _wrappedProcessTraitChanges:withBehavior:] + 1288 (UIView.m:0)
Hello Apple engineers, could you help me understand whether this crash is a UIKit bug or something in our code that causes it. Based on the documentation it is an invalid fetch instruction, that's why I suspect UIKit. I've found a similar crash here on the forums reported a year ago, it seemed to be a UIKit bug - https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/729448.

LiveActivity on device with Dynamic Island
I am developing a live activity for my app and am running into issues on devices with dynamic islands. The live activity will randomly get in a state where it displays a spinner and does not update. For devices without dynamic islands, the activity works perfectly fine. I have tried breaking down the views to determine the root cause, but at times it seems very random. These are all TestFlight builds as we are currently developing the feature. I have tried using the console app and looking at the various processes that have been called out in other threads and cannot see any actual errors being logged. Looking for any pointers on how to pinpoint the root cause of this issue.
