Hi, I'm using a TabView and for a given case I wish to have the icon of the Tab animated by symbolEffect to signify a state. The symbolEffect however doesn't seem to have an effect when used on a tab's label image. Is it really not possible? Tab(value: .hello) { EmptyView() } label: { Image(systemName: "hand.wave.fill") .symbolEffect(.wiggle, options: .repeating) } I still wish to use the TabView because it's amazing.

Hello everyone, I am experiencing a layout issue in a SwiftUI project where an icon inside a button becomes laggy after the keyboard is dismissed. I have a custom input bar designed with an HStack containing a TextField and a Button with a microphone.fill icon. The entire HStack is styled using a .clipShape(.capsule) and a background color and I am using @FocusState to manage the keyboard focus. When the user taps the TextField, the keyboard appears, and the entire view moves up correctly to make room. But when the keyboard is dismissed by the button action isPromptFieldFocused = false, the capsule-shaped background and the text field return to their original position, but the icon on the button (and just the icon) doesn't. The microphone icon inside the button does not follow the movement. It remains stuck at the "keyboard-up" height for a moment until the view is refreshed, breaking the UI. And by the way, the icon correctly returns to its original position with the other UI elements if the user presses the return key on their keyboard. import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @State var userText: String = "" @FocusState var isTextFieldFocused: Bool var body: some View { HStack { TextField("Type here...", text: $userText) .focused($isTextFieldFocused) .textInputAutocapitalization(.sentences) .textFieldStyle(PlainTextFieldStyle()) .padding(.leading, 12) .padding(.trailing, 4) Button(action: { print("Microphone pressed") isPromptFieldFocused = false }) { Image(systemName: "microphone.fill") .font(.system(size: 22, weight: .semibold)) .foregroundStyle(.white) .padding(14) } .background(Color.black) .clipShape(Circle()) .padding(.trailing, 14) .padding(.vertical, 14) } .background(Color.lightGray) .clipShape(Capsule()) .padding() } } I've already tried using different animation types (e.g., .default, .spring) and explicitly setting the frame of the button. Has anyone encountered this specific behavior where an Image(systemName:) ignores the parent container's transition during keyboard dismissal? I would appreciate any insights on how to ensure the entire HStack and its children animate back down in sync.

Hi, I have created this UI using custom view and not a real sheet component. But the animations and interaction is not as smooth. Earlier I was using sheet component and it was working very well, but then I had a need to add a search button on top of sheet (not inside, that is very important). And so I created this whole sheet with custom view and not the sheet component. But it resulted in loss of fluid working and animations that sheet have. Including changing between Medium detent and Large detent. Is it possible to achieve this UI with native sheet component? Or using some other native swiftui view which will have good animation that sheet has?

Hi, I am working on app at the moment that uses Icon Composer for all of its icons and variations. I want to add an iMessage App to my project however I get validation errors from App Store Connect even if I add an imessage app to my asset catalog and include all app icon assets. Is there any way to do this at the moment natively with Icon Composer? If not how do I manually overwrite the icon JUST for iMessage and not for my entire iOS app?

When using an image in a List item, you sometimes want to tint that image, but only if the item isn’t selected. When it’s selected, you usually want the contents of the list item to be all-white, for contrast. The backgroundProminence Environment value ostensibly exists for this purpose, but in my tests, it never seems to change. Am I doing something wrong? Is there an alternative solution? For instance, this code: import SwiftUI struct ProminentBackgroundInList: View { var body: some View { List(selection: .constant(0)) { ListItem().tag(0) ListItem().tag(1) } } } struct ListItem: View { @Environment(\.backgroundProminence) var backgroundProminence var body: some View { HStack { Image(systemName: "person.fill") .foregroundStyle(backgroundProminence == .standard ? .orange : .primary) Text("Person") } } } #Preview { ProminentBackgroundInList() } Produces this result:

Hello, Developers! While writing custom view modifier I ran into unexpected behavior of .strokeBorder modifier. The underlying content seem to be “bleeding” outside of the stroke border edges, even though they share the exact same shape for their layout. This issue relevant for both Xcode Previews and on-device testing. Maybe someone has experienced this issue before, I'd be glad to see your opinion on this matter.

Hello, in my widget the user displays images filling the whole widget with overlayed texts (via ZStack). Via shadows or text background color the text gets better readable. However, when a user chooses transparent or tinted colors for the home screen, the text is barely or not readable anymore since e.g. white text on white image background. How to resolve this issue?

This issue affects core system UI elements such as Control Center, notifications, and system apps. In iOS 26, the Liquid Glass UI introduces excessive transparency and blur across the system. This significantly reduces text readability, lowers contrast, and causes visual fatigue during prolonged use. There is currently no true option to fully disable Liquid Glass effects. Existing accessibility settings only partially mitigate the issue and do not restore a solid, high-contrast interface similar to iOS 18. Please consider adding a system-wide toggle to completely disable Liquid Glass and transparency effects, or provide a solid UI mode for users who prioritize readability and visual comfort. This is especially important for accessibility, as the current design negatively impacts users sensitive to eye strain and low contrast.

Hi everyone, I’m working on a screen that uses a single SwiftUI List composed of: a top block (statistics, month picker, year selector, total, Entrata/Uscita picker). a list of transactions grouped by day, each group inside its own Section. each row is a fully custom card with rounded corners (RoundedCornerShape) I’m correctly removing all separators using: .listRowSeparator(.hidden) .listSectionSeparator(.hidden) .scrollContentBackground(.hidden) .listStyle(.plain) Each row is rendered like this: TransazioneSwipeRowView(...) .listRowInsets(EdgeInsets(top: 0, leading: 16, bottom: 0, trailing: 16)) .listRowBackground(Color.clear) However, I still see thin horizontal lines appearing between: the search bar and the top block the top block and the start of the list between rows inside the grouped section sometimes at the bottom of a Section These lines are NOT: Divider() system separators backgrounds row borders They seem to be “ghost lines” automatically generated by SwiftUI’s List when multiple consecutive rows or sections are present. Goal I want to remove these lines completely while keeping: native SwiftUI List native scroll behavior swipe-to-delete support grouping by Section custom card-like rows with rounded corners transparent backgrounds What I already tried .plain, .grouped, .insetGrouped list styles .listRowSeparator(.hidden) and .listSectionSeparator(.hidden) .scrollContentBackground(.hidden) clearing all backgrounds adjusting/removing all padding and insets Spacer(minLength: 0) experiments rebuilding the layout using ScrollView + LazyVStack (works perfectly — no lines — BUT loses native swipe-to-delete) There are no Divider() calls anywhere, and no background colors producing borders. Question Is this a built-in behavior of SwiftUI’s List in .plain style when using multiple custom rows, or is there an officially supported way to eliminate these lines entirely? Is there a recommended combination of modifiers to achieve: a List with grouped Sections fully custom rows with rounded backgrounds absolutely no horizontal separators, even in the empty spaces between sections? Any guidance, documented workarounds, WWDC references, or official recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Can multiple apps be published under the same organization that use the same logo and the same app name, but are intended for different regions? Each app will target a specific country or region, and the core functionality will be similar. I could not find any specific App Store Review Guideline stating whether it is allowed to have the same app name and branding for different regional versions. Is it necessary to differentiate the branding or name for each regional version to get approval during App Review?

When I compiled my legacy project with Tahoe's macOS 26 SDK, NSRulerViews are showing a very different design: Under prior macOS versions the horizontal and verrical ruler's background were blurring the content view, which was extending under the rulers, showing through their transparency. With Tahoe the horizontal ruler is always reflecting the scrollview's background color, showing the blurred content view beneath. And the vertical ruler is always completely transparent (without any blurring), showing the content together with the ruler's markers and ticks. It's difficult to describe, I'll try to replicate this behavior with a minimal test project, and probably file a bug report / enhancement request. But before I take next steps, can anyone confirm this observation? Maybe it is an intentional design decision by Apple?

According to Apple's documentation, SKOverlay is designed to recommend other applications to users. I'm seeking clarification on whether it also supports displaying update prompts for the host application itself. Use case: My app (for example, HelloDeveloper) is live at version 2.0, but some users are still on version 1.0. I want to display a soft update prompt that allows users to remain in the app. Question: Is it possible to use SKOverlay with my app's App Store ID to present an update option without requiring users to leave the app?

Hello everyone, In the current iOS version, changes in the "liquid glass" light shining effects can repeatedly be observed on older iPhone devices (12/13/14). This change is often seen after the device is rebooted or after a SystemMemoryReset.ips (System Analysis Data). It changes very often... I'm not currently working on apps myself, but perhaps someone has ideas for the upcoming updates involving Liquid Glass. (please also check the screenshots)

I have an iPad app with a classic sidebar. It's been working fine for years. Now with iPadOS 26 the sidebar sometime gets this fake transparency that makes it really hard to quickly grok. A part of Liquid Glass seems to be to sometimes (but not always) take whatever is in the secondary area (the main big content), blur it, mirror it and then use as the background for the sidebar. This is silly and does not work at all for an app like mine. It maybe looks decent if your background is a photo or similar, but not for an app that manages data. Not all views cause the sidebar to get this ugly unreadable background. In most of the cases the sidebar keeps its normal opaque background that it has always had. See this example for how it looks when it's really bad: This is how it should look. Notice that the content of the "main view" is pretty similar to the case where it gets the ugly background. The difference is the segmented thing at the top, ie. a different "root view". Is there some good way for me to force the sidebar to always have an opaque background? I guess I could make a ZStack and put a solid color as the background behind the sidebar, but those kinds of hacks are better to avoid. This can not be how some UI designer envisioned that apps should look? Maybe I'm missing some new modifier or setting somewhere that would led me opt out from this aspect of Liquid Glass? Apart from this it looks pretty nice. There are some bugs where the contents of the main area gets clipped when the sidebar is shown, hidden and then shown again, but that's for another time (and it's surely known already (if the bug tracking system allowed me to search I could verify)). So, any way to make my app look nice again?

Hello everyone, I'm developing a CarPlay app and am trying to test it with the dock on the right side of the screen, as is standard for right-hand drive vehicles like those in Japan. Currently, the CarPlay Simulator always displays the dock on the left, and I can't find an option to change its position. This is important for ensuring a proper user experience for my target market. Has anyone figured out how to configure the simulator for RHD layouts? Any guidance on how to move the dock to the right would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi all, After upgrading to the iOS 26 beta, the scrolling in my SwiftUI chat view is completely broken. The exact same code works perfectly on iOS 18. Context: I have a chat view using ScrollViewReader and a vertically-reversed ScrollView (with .rotationEffect(.degrees(180))). Each message row (MessageBubble) uses multiple simultaneousGesture handlers: Horizontal drag for swipe-to-reply (and other actions: pin, delete) Long press for showing popover/actions Vertical scroll for normal chat scrolling This was working great on iOS 18. In iOS 26 beta, the vertical scroll is either completely disabled, jittery, or hijacked by the message row’s drag gestures, even though .simultaneousGesture is used (see code below). Minimal Repro Sample MessageListView.swift swift Copy Edit ScrollViewReader { proxy in ScrollView(.vertical, showsIndicators: false) { LazyVStack(spacing: 0) { // ... grouped messages ForEach(...) { ... MessageBubble(...) // see below } Color.clear.frame(height: 8).id("BOTTOM_ANCHOR") } .padding(.horizontal, 4) .rotationEffect(.degrees(180)) } .rotationEffect(.degrees(180)) } MessageBubble.swift struct MessageBubble: View { // ... var body: some View { // horizontal swipe-to-reply gesture let dragGesture = DragGesture(minimumDistance: 10) // ... ZStack { // ... HStack { ... } // ... .simultaneousGesture( DragGesture(minimumDistance: 0) // for long press // ... ) .simultaneousGesture(dragGesture) // for horizontal swipe } // ... } }

I think iPhone users should have a feature in Wallpaper that allows each page in the homescreen to have a different wallpaper.

Feedback ID: FB19846667 When dismissing a Menu view when the device is set to dark appearance, there is a flash of lightness that is distracting and feels unnatural. This becomes an issue for apps that rely on the user interacting with Menu views often. When using the overflow menu on a toolbar, the effect of dismissing the menu is a lot more natural and there is less flashing. I expect a similar visual effect when creating Menu views outside of a toolbar. Has anyone found a way around this somehow?

I'm having some trouble getting my widget to display how I want when the user has a tint applied to their home screen. The issue I'm having is with a Text() element, as well as a LinearGradient I am displaying on top of my image. The text should always be white, and the gradient is always black with varying levels of opacity. I've managed to fix this issue with images displayed in my widget by leveraging widgetAccentedRenderingMode(.fullColor) however, there does not seem to be an equivalent of this for non-Image components. I'm aware of .widgetAccentable(false) but as I understand it, elements are already considered not accentable by default and you need to explicitly declare widgetAccentable(true) to add them to the accent group. I've tried specifying this to be false up and down my view hierarchy just to see if something will stick but no luck. Are there any other levers I can pull to preserve the declared colors for my text and gradient components? The images I am displaying is album artwork where preserving the original image is integral, but the tinted text color and overlaid gradient often clash or just looks bad in general. Is there a solution for colored primitive elements?

On iOS 26 not able to control size of UITabBar. Sharing code below. Colour is applying correctly but somehow _UITabBarPlatterView which turns out as TabBar is not extending; leaving spaces on left, right & bottom sides. class CustomTabBar: UITabBar { override init(frame: CGRect) { super.init(frame: frame) backgroundColor = .red let firstItem = UITabBarItem(title: "Home", image: UIImage(systemName: "house"), tag: 0) let secondItem = UITabBarItem(title: "Search", image: UIImage(systemName: "magnifyingglass"), tag: 1) let thirdItem = UITabBarItem(title: "Profile", image: UIImage(systemName: "person.circle"), tag: 2) items = [firstItem, secondItem, thirdItem] selectedItem = firstItem } required init?(coder: NSCoder) { fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented") } } class ViewController: UIViewController { let tabBar: CustomTabBar = { let tb = CustomTabBar() tb.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false return tb }() override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() view.backgroundColor = .systemBackground view.addSubview(tabBar) NSLayoutConstraint.activate([ tabBar.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.leadingAnchor, constant: 25), tabBar.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.trailingAnchor, constant: -25), tabBar.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.bottomAnchor) ]) } } when specifying height in CustomTabBar explicitly... func alignInternalSubViews() { subviews.forEach { subView in subView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false NSLayoutConstraint.activate([ subView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: topAnchor), subView.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: leadingAnchor), subView.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: trailingAnchor), subView.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: bottomAnchor), subView.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 62) ]) } } What should I need to do in order to get this capsule _UITabBarPlatterView and its subviews resize accordingly?
