A Summary of the WWDC25 Group Lab - UI Frameworks
At WWDC25 we launched a new type of Lab event for the developer community - Group Labs. A Group Lab is a panel Q&A designed for a large audience of developers. Group Labs are a unique opportunity for the community to submit questions directly to a panel of Apple engineers and designers. Here are the highlights from the WWDC25 Group Lab for UI Frameworks. How would you recommend developers start adopting the new design? Start by focusing on the foundational structural elements of your application, working from the "top down" or "bottom up" based on your application's hierarchy. These structural changes, like edge-to-edge content and updated navigation and controls, often require corresponding code modifications. As a first step, recompile your application with the new SDK to see what updates are automatically applied, especially if you've been using standard controls. Then, carefully analyze where the new design elements can be applied to your UI, paying particular attention to custom controls or UI that could benefit from a refresh. Address the large structural items first then focus on smaller details is recommended. Will we need to migrate our UI code to Swift and SwiftUI to adopt the new design? No, you will not need to migrate your UI code to Swift and SwiftUI to adopt the new design. The UI frameworks fully support the new design, allowing you to migrate your app with as little effort as possible, especially if you've been using standard controls. The goal is to make it easy to adopt the new design, regardless of your current UI framework, to achieve a cohesive look across the operating system. What was the reason for choosing Liquid Glass over frosted glass, as used in visionOS? The choice of Liquid Glass was driven by the desire to bring content to life. The see-through nature of Liquid Glass enhances this effect. The appearance of Liquid Glass adapts based on its size; larger glass elements look more frosted, which aligns with the design of visionOS, where everything feels larger and benefits from the frosted look. What are best practices for apps that use customized navigation bars? The new design emphasizes behavior and transitions as much as static appearance. Consider whether you truly need a custom navigation bar, or if the system-provided controls can meet your needs. Explore new APIs for subtitles and custom views in navigation bars, designed to support common use cases. If you still require a custom solution, ensure you're respecting safe areas using APIs like SwiftUI's safeAreaInset. When working with Liquid Glass, group related buttons in shared containers to maintain design consistency. Finally, mark glass containers as interactive. For branding, instead of coloring the navigation bar directly, consider incorporating branding colors into the content area behind the Liquid Glass controls. This creates a dynamic effect where the color is visible through the glass and moves with the content as the user scrolls. I want to know why new UI Framework APIs aren’t backward compatible, specifically in SwiftUI? It leads to code with lots of if-else statements. Existing APIs have been updated to work with the new design where possible, ensuring that apps using those APIs will adopt the new design and function on both older and newer operating systems. However, new APIs often depend on deep integration across the framework and graphics stack, making backward compatibility impractical. When using these new APIs, it's important to consider how they fit within the context of the latest OS. The use of if-else statements allows you to maintain compatibility with older systems while taking full advantage of the new APIs and design features on newer systems. If you are using new APIs, it likely means you are implementing something very specific to the new design language. Using conditional code allows you to intentionally create different code paths for the new design versus older operating systems. Prefer to use if #available where appropriate to intentionally adopt new design elements. Are there any Liquid Glass materials in iOS or macOS that are only available as part of dedicated components? Or are all those materials available through new UIKit and AppKit views? Yes, some variations of the Liquid Glass material are exclusively available through dedicated components like sliders, segmented controls, and tab bars. However, the "regular" and "clear" glass materials should satisfy most application requirements. If you encounter situations where these options are insufficient, please file feedback. If I were to create an app today, how should I design it to make it future proof using Liquid Glass? The best approach to future-proof your app is to utilize standard system controls and design your UI to align with the standard system look and feel. Using the framework-provided declarative API generally leads to easier adoption of future design changes, as you're expressing intent rather than specifying pixel-perfect visuals. Pay close attention to the design sessions offered this year, which cover the design motivation behind the Liquid Glass material and best practices for its use. Is it possible to implement your own sidebar on macOS without NSSplitViewController, but still provide the Liquid Glass appearance? While technically possible to create a custom sidebar that approximates the Liquid Glass appearance without using NSSplitViewController, it is not recommended. The system implementation of the sidebar involves significant unseen complexity, including interlayering with scroll edge effects and fullscreen behaviors. NSSplitViewController provides the necessary level of abstraction for the framework to handle these details correctly. Regarding the SceneDelagate and scene based life-cycle, I would like to confirm that AppDelegate is not going away. Also if the above is a correct understanding, is there any advice as to what should, and should not, be moved to the SceneDelegate? UIApplicationDelegate is not going away and still serves a purpose for application-level interactions with the system and managing scenes at a higher level. Move code related to your app's scene or UI into the UISceneDelegate. Remember that adopting scenes doesn't necessarily mean supporting multiple scenes; an app can be scene-based but still support only one scene. Refer to the tech note Migrating to the UIKit scene-based life cycle and the Make your UIKit app more flexible WWDC25 session for more information.

tvOS: Search Keyboard Unresponsive After Dismissing Custom Controller with Embedded TVDigitEntryViewController
Description I'm developing a tvOS application where I utilize a UISearchController embedded within a UISearchContainerViewController for search functionality. In a particular flow, a custom view controller contains a TVDigitEntryViewController as a child, with its modalPresentationStyle set to .blurOverFullScreen. The issue arises when a user initiates the PIN entry but decides to cancel and return to the search interface without entering a PIN. Upon returning, the search keyboard is no longer visible, and attempts to focus or interact with it are unsuccessful. Steps to Reproduce Initialize and present a UISearchContainerViewController that contains a UISearchController with a results view controller. Within the search results, present a custom view controller containing TVDigitEntryViewController as a child, setting its modalPresentationStyle to .blurOverFullScreen. Dismiss the custom view controller without entering a PIN (e.g., by pressing the Menu button on the remote). Observe that upon returning to the search interface, the keyboard is missing, and focus interactions are unresponsive. Observed Behavior After dismissing the custom view controller with TVDigitEntryViewController, the search keyboard does not reappear, and the focus system seems to lose track of the search input field. Expected Behavior The search keyboard should remain visible and functional after dismissing the custom view controller, allowing users to continue their search without interruption. Additional Context I have reviewed the TVDigitEntryViewController documentation (developer.apple.com) and related discussions on the Apple Developer Forums but have not found a solution to this specific issue. Questions Has anyone encountered a similar issue or have insights into why the search keyboard becomes unresponsive after dismissing a .blurOverFullScreen modal with a child TVDigitEntryViewController? Are there recommended practices to ensure the search keyboard remains active and focusable after such modal presentations? Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Navigation Issue in iOS 18: Duplication of Navigation Trigger When Using @Environment(\.dismiss) in SwiftUI
I’m encountering an issue with SwiftUI navigation in iOS 18, where navigating to a DetailView causes unexpected duplication of navigation behavior when @Environment(.dismiss) is used. Code Example: Here’s a simplified version of the code: struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { NavigationStack { NavigationLink("Go to Detail View", destination: DetailView()) .padding() } } } struct DetailView: View { @Environment(\.dismiss) var dismiss var body: some View { VStack { let _ = print("DetailView") // This print statement is triggered twice in iOS 18 } } } Issue: In iOS 18, when @Environment(.dismiss) is used in DetailView, the print("DetailView") statement is triggered twice. The same code works correctly in iOS 17 and earlier, where the print statement is only triggered once, as expected. However, when I remove @Environment(.dismiss) from DetailView, the code works as intended in iOS 18, with the print statement being triggered only once and no duplication of navigation behavior. Alternative Approach with .navigationDestination(for:): I also tested using .navigationDestination(for:) to handle navigation: struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { NavigationStack { NavigationLink("Go to Detail View", destination: DetailView()) .padding() } } } struct DetailView: View { @Environment(\.dismiss) var dismiss var body: some View { VStack { let _ = print("DetailView") // This print statement is triggered twice in iOS 18 } } } Even with this alternative approach, the issue persists in iOS 18, where the print statement is triggered twice. What I've Tried: I’ve confirmed that removing @Environment(.dismiss) solves the issue, and the print statement is triggered only once, and the navigation works as expected in iOS 18 without duplication. The issue only occurs when @Environment(.dismiss) is in use, which seems to be tied to the navigation stack behavior. The code works correctly in iOS 17 and below, where the print statement is only called once. Expected Behavior: I expect the print("DetailView") statement to be called once when navigating to DetailView, and that the navigation happens only once without duplication. The presence of @Environment(.dismiss) should not cause the navigation to be triggered multiple times. Questions: Is this a known issue with iOS 18 and SwiftUI navigation? Specifically, is there a new behavior that interacts differently with @Environment(.dismiss)? Has anyone else encountered this problem, and if so, what’s the recommended way to handle it in iOS 18? Is there a workaround to ensure that the navigation doesn’t trigger more than once when using @Environment(.dismiss) in iOS 18? Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated!

Do the coordinates obtained by scanning a QR code with VNDetectBarcodesRequest match the coordinates of the finder pattern?
I am creating an application that uses VNDetectBarcodesRequest to read QR codes from images and adjust the image orientation to match that of the QR code finder pattern. The QR code was successfully read, and the coordinates of the QR code were obtained.Upon checking the obtained topLeft, topRight, and bottomLeft coordinates, they always seem to match the topLeft, topRight, and bottomLeft coordinates of the finder pattern. Is it specified that the coordinates of topLeft, topRight, and bottomLeft obtained with VNDetectBarcodesRequest match the topLeft, topRight, and bottomLeft of the finder pattern? Or do they just happen to match? I would appreciate it if you could tell me if the matching of coordinates is a specification. Thank you for your help.

`Text` (Label) text color issue during app resuming from suspended (changes from black to light or vice versa, depending on current appearance mode).
Its important to note that this same app did not have this issue in iOS 17. Ever since iOS 18 I have noticed that when application written in SwiftUI uses Label with the default color (which auto changes between light and dark appearance), from time to time when resuming an application that has been in the background, the color of those labels (only the Label elements) switches from the opposite to the correct one. Here is an example: Steps to reproduce Phone is in dark appearance Open app Labels text color is white and labels background is black Go to home so that app is on background Wait random time (does not happen all the time), some times 1 min some times 10 Reopen the application. During the opening transition the Label text color was changed while the app was in suspended mode to the light appearance variant (black) Once the app opening transition finishes the Label text color switches back to the correct color for dark appearance (white) Same issue happens if you start from light appearance. I cannot reproduce this on Xcode simulators, I have tried to force memory warning to check if that has anything to do with it but that also does not cause the issue to appear on simulators. For now I can only reproduce this on real device. Screenshots Here is screenshots of the above example: During transition After transition

Observe currentEDRHeadroom for changes
Is there a way to observe the currentEDRHeadroom property of UIScreen for changes? KVO is not working for this property... I understand that I can query the current headroom in the draw(...) method to adapt the rendering. However, our apps only render on-demand when the user changes parameters. But we would also like to re-render when the current EDR headroom changes to adapt the tone mapping to the new environment. The only solution we've found so far is to continuously query the screen for changes, which doesn't seem ideal. It would be better if the property would be observable via KVO or if there would be a system notification to listen for. Thanks!

App Clip show "App Clip Unavailable" only when the main app is not installed
After uploading the app to App Store Connect, Apple automatically generated a Default App Clip Link. However, the App Clip card only opens successfully if the main app is already installed on the device. If the main app is not installed, the App Clip card displays an image and the message "App Clip Unavailable" What could cause this behavior, and how do I ensure the App Clip works without requiring the main app to be installed?

Can't join current Group Activity on macOS (maybe some launch services thing?)
I'm testing using Group Activities and having no trouble iOS<->iOS or starting an activity on macOS and joining via iOS. However, when I start an activity and then try to join it from another macOS client, the starting side joins the session just fine, but the receiving side acts like I don't have the required app, even when it is already running. I see the active SharePlay icon in the menu bar, and the Current Activity is shown, but instead of an "Open" button there is a "MyApp Required" string and a "View" button that goes to the App Store. (Where the app is not available yet, as expected, since I'm still working on it.) There is no GroupSession started on that Mac yet, obviously. I'm looking for any hints to help debug what is going on. How does Group Activities find the app for the activity on macOS and how can I figure out why it isn't finding mine? Thanks!

INUIHostedViewControlling ViewController's Life Cycle Events not being Called
I am implementing a new Intents UI Extension and am noticing that the viewWillDisappear, viewDidDisappear, and deinit methods are not being called on my UIViewController that implements INUIHostedViewControlling, when pressing the "Done" button and dismissing the UIViewController. This causes the memory for the UI Extension to slowly increase each time I re-run the UI Extension until it reaches the 120MB limit and crashes. Any ideas as to what's going on here and how to solve this issue? Worth noting that while the memory does continuously increase on iOS versions before iOS 17, only in 17 and later does the 120MB memory limit kick in and crash the extension.

labels appear as dimmed in UIView
In this setup, label do not show properly because of the textColor. Labels are defined in IB, in the following hierarchy: ViewController View Label 1 scrollView View Button Label 2 Buttons show properly, but labels, even though defined with default label color appear as if their alpha was 0.2. It is even worse in dark mode: I have checked the settings for the label and did not find anything anormal: I have tried to change label color to system.gray 2, to no avail. If I change to red, does not show in red in IB. Problem appears for both Label 1 (at the top level in the view) and Label 2

Swiftui Rendering issue: View not displayed when using almost full screen height
I plan to use the entire screen height minus 40 pixels approximately to not overlap with the time, batter and carrier data. However, I noticed that in the code shared below the vstack with pink background is not displayed at the top of the screen. The interesting part is that it's actually occupying an offset at the top of the screen. What's more, when I set an offset greater than 70 pixels, then the pink vstack displays on the view! Thus, I'm looking for an explanation to this swiftui rendering issue. Offset less than 70 pixels: Offset greater or equal than 70 pixels: GeometryReader { proxy in let offset = 40.0 let height = proxy.size.height - offset ZStack { VStack(spacing:0){ VStack{Text("heasdas")}.frame(width: 300,height: offset,alignment: .leading) .background(.pink) VStack { HStack(alignment:.center,spacing:10){ Text("Shapecloud") .font(.callout) .fontWeight(.semibold) .frame(alignment: .leading) SLine() } .frame(maxWidth: .infinity,alignment: .leading) Text("Digital Twin Solutions\nServices") .font(.largeTitle) .fontWeight(.medium) .frame(maxWidth: .infinity,alignment: .leading) } .frame(maxWidth: .infinity,maxHeight: 0.3*height,alignment: .top) .background(.red) VStack { VideoPlayer(player: player) .frame(maxWidth: .infinity,maxHeight: 300) } .frame(maxWidth: .infinity,maxHeight: 0.4*height) .background(.yellow) VStack{ Button { } label: { Text("Subscribe now").foregroundStyle(.black) .font(.headline) .fontWeight(.semibold) } .frame(maxWidth: .infinity,maxHeight: 50) .border(Color.black, width: 2) Button { } label: { Text("Sign In").foregroundStyle(.white) .font(.headline) } .frame(maxWidth: .infinity,maxHeight: 50) .background(Color.theme.primary) } .frame(maxWidth: .infinity,maxHeight: 0.3*height) .background(.green) } .padding(.horizontal, 32) .background(.cyan) .ignoresSafeArea(.all) } .ignoresSafeArea(.all) } .ignoresSafeArea(.all)

Embedding a NavigationSplitView inside a NavigationStack
Embedding a NavigationStack inside the detail view of a NavigationSplitView is described by the Apple documentation: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/navigationsplitview However, I would like to do the opposite: embedding a NavigationSplitView inside a NavigationStack. I have found no hint in the documentation about why this shouldn't be possible, but it does not appear to be working consistently. There are many use cases where you might want to do this. E.g. you have an eBook reader that starts with a list of books (e.g. a Grid inside a NavigationStack), and when you open a book, you end up in a NavigationSplitView showing the chapter hierarchy in a sidebar. Here, you wouldn't want to have the list of books as a second sidebar, but would want an option to go back to the list of books at any time. The following trivial example correctly displays a NavigationSplitView on iPadOS, but results in an empty view on iOS: NavigationStack { NavigationSplitView { List { Text("Element1") Text("Element2") } } detail: { Text("Detail") } } Is there a workaround?

SwiftData integration for coexistence with CoreData Error: Persistent truncated
When integrating SwiftData for an already existing app that uses CoreData as data management, I encounter errors. When building the ModelContainer for the first time, the following error appears: Error: Persistent History (184) has to be truncated due to the following entities being removed (all Entities except for the 2 where I defined a SwiftData Model) class SwiftDataManager: ObservableObject { static let shared = SwiftDataManager() private let persistenceManager = PersistenceManager.shared private init(){} lazy var modelContainer: ModelContainer = { do { let storeUrl = persistenceManager.storeURL() let schema = Schema([ HistoryIncident.self, HistoryEvent.self ]) let modelConfig = ModelConfiguration(url: storeUrl) return try ModelContainer(for: schema, configurations: [modelConfig]) } catch { fatalError("Could not create ModelContainer: \(error)") } }() } @Model public class HistoryIncident { var missionNr: String? @Relationship(deleteRule: .cascade) var events: [HistoryEvent]? public init(){} } @Model class HistoryEvent { var decs: String? var timestamp: Date? init(){} } As soon as I call the following function. func addMockEventsToCurrentHistorie() { var descriptor = FetchDescriptor<HistoryIncident>() let key = self.hKey ?? "" descriptor.predicate = #Predicate { mE in key == mE.key } let historyIncident = try?

collectionView(_:shouldBeginMultipleSelectionInteractionAt:) triggered by trackpad click
In my collection view I have allowsSelection, allowsSelectionDuringEditing, and allowsMultipleSelectionDuringEditing set to true. In my delegate's collectionView(_:shouldBeginMultipleSelectionInteractionAt:) I return true unconditionally, getting me the desired behavior of triggering edit mode with a two-finger swipe. So far so good. The problem is that collectionView(_:shouldBeginMultipleSelectionInteractionAt:) is also called on a single-finger click from a trackpad. Tapping one of my cells is supposed to open a sub-screen, so with this happening there's no way to navigate my screen using a trackpad. This also goes against the documentation, which says this delegate method is supposed to get called because of a two-finger swipe. Is there a way to keep that call from happing from a trackpad click? Or a way to distinguish whether I'm getting the call because of an actual two finger swipe?

App crashes when the app is moved to background
After the app is put in background for sometime and the app crashes, Some cases have the webView involvement before putting the app in to background for quite sometime and pulled into foreground.

TextField using numberPad shows incorrectly shows autofill for one time code
If I show a textfield in my app and set nothing else on it but the following, The keyboard will show an autofill suggestion from a password manager for a one time code. textField.keyboardType = .numberPad In this case, the text field is for typing in a count, so iOS suggesting to autofill a one time code is incorrect. Setting textField.textContentType to nil has no affect on the behaviour. Prerequisites to reproduce an app with an associated domain an entry in a password manager with a one time code for the domain a textfield with keyboardType set to numberPad

Correct way to label TextField inside Form in SwiftUI
Hello everyone. I'm building a simple Form in a Multiplatform App with SwiftUI. Originally I had something like this. import SwiftUI struct OnboardingForm: View { @State var firstName: String = "" @State var lastName: String = "" @State var email: String = "" @State var job: String = "" @State var role: String = "" var body: some View { Form { TextField("First Name", text: $firstName, prompt: Text("Required")) TextField("Last Name", text: $lastName, prompt: Text("Required")) TextField("Email", text: $email, prompt: Text("Required")) TextField("Job", text: $job, prompt: Text("Required")) TextField("Role", text: $role, prompt: Text("Required")) } } } #Preview { OnboardingForm() } In macOS it looks ok but then in iOS it looks like this: and it's impossible to know what each field is for if all the prompts are the same. I tried adding LabeledContent around each text field and that solves it for iOS but then on macOS it looks like this: The labels are shown twice and the columns are out of alignment. I think I could get around it by doing something like this: #if os(iOS) LabeledContent { TextField("First Name", text: $firstName, prompt: Text("Required")) } label: { Text("First Name") } #else TextField("First Name", text: $firstName, prompt: Text("Required")) #endif but it seems to me like reinventing the wheel. Is there a "correct" way to declare TextFields with labels that works for both iOS and macOS?

.sheet or .fullScreenSheet Looping when presenting Image Picker on visionOS
I am having issues with my app on visionOS. It works fine on iOS. The app is presenting a ImagePicker, I had tried converting to PhotoPicker and the behavior did not change. The relevant code is in the EditGreetingCardView - // // Created by Michael Rowe on 1/2/24. // import AVKit import SwiftData import SwiftUI struct EditGreetingCardView: View { @Environment(\.modelContext) private var modelContext @Environment(\.dismiss) private var dismiss @Query(sort: \EventType.eventName) private var events: [EventType] var greetingCard: GreetingCard? private var editorTitle: String { greetingCard == nil ? "Add Greeting Card" : "Edit Greeting Card" } @State var frontImageSelected: Image? = Image("frontImage") @State var sourceType: UIImagePickerController.SourceType = .photoLibrary @State var frontPhoto = false @State var captureFrontImage = false var eventTypePassed: EventType? @State private var eventType: EventType? @State private var cardName = "" @State private var cardManufacturer = "" @State private var cardURL = "" @State private var cardUIImage: UIImage? @State private var cameraNotAuthorized = false @State private var isCameraPresented = false @State private var newEvent = false @AppStorage("walkthrough") var walkthrough = 1 init(eventTypePassed: EventType?) { if let eventTypePassed { _eventType = .init(initialValue: eventTypePassed) } } init(greetingCard: GreetingCard?) { self.greetingCard = greetingCard _eventType = .init(initialValue: greetingCard?.eventType) } var body: some View { NavigationStack { Form { Section("Occasion") { Picker("Select Occasion", selection: $eventType) { Text("Unknown Occasion") .tag(Optional<EventType>.none) //basically added empty tag and it solve the case if events.isEmpty == false { Divider() ForEach(events) { event in Text(event.eventName) .tag(Optional(event)) } } } } .foregroundColor(Color("AccentColor")) Section("Card details") { } .foregroundColor(Color("AccentColor")) Section("Card Image") { HStack(alignment: .center){ Spacer() ZStack { Image(uiImage: cardUIImage ?? UIImage(named: "frontImage")!) .resizable() .aspectRatio(contentMode: .fit) .shadow(radius: 10 ) Image(systemName: "camera.fill") .foregroundColor(.white) .font(.largeTitle) .shadow(radius: 10) .frame(width: 200) .onTapGesture { self.frontPhoto = true } .actionSheet(isPresented: $frontPhoto) { () -> ActionSheet in #if !os(visionOS) ActionSheet( title: Text("Choose mode"), message: Text("Select one."), buttons: [ ActionSheet.Button.default(Text("Camera"), action: { checkCameraAuthorization() self.captureFrontImage.toggle() self.sourceType = .camera }), ActionSheet.Button.default(Text("Photo Library"), action: { self.captureFrontImage.toggle() self.sourceType = .photoLibrary }), ActionSheet.Button.cancel() ] ) #else ActionSheet( title: Text("Choose mode"), message: Text("Select one."), buttons: [ ActionSheet.Button.default(Text("Photo Library"), action: { self.captureFrontImage.toggle() self.sourceType = .photoLibrary }), ActionSheet.Button.cancel() ] ) #endif } .fullScreenCover(isPresented: $captureFrontImage) { #if !os(visionOS) ImagePicker( sourceType: sourceType, image: $frontImageSelected) .interactiveDismissDisabled(true) #else ImagePicker( image: $frontImageSelected) .interactiveDismissDisabled(true) #endif } } .frame(width: 250, height: 250) Spacer() } } } .alert(isPresented: $cameraNotAuthorized) { Alert( title: Text("Unable to access the Camera"), message: Text("To enable access, go to Settings > Privacy > Camera and turn on Camera access for this app."), primaryButton: .default(Text("Settings")) { openSettings() } , secondaryButton: .cancel() ) } .toolbar { } .onAppear { } .onChange(of: frontImageSelected) { oldValue, newValue in cardUIImage = newValue?.asUIImage() } } } }

PKInk - no eraser stroke
I am trying to convert some of my older drawings to a PKCanvas. In my older drawings, I had an eraser stroke which erases anything that the stroke intersected with. I am able to convert all the strokes except an eraser stroke which doesn't seem to exist in PKCanvas. The user tool exists, but PKInkTypePen etc... doesn't contain an eraser type. Is there any way to create an "eraser type stroke" so I can convert my drawing strokes to use the PKCanvas? Thanks
