Please, add option to remove app names but keep smaller icons on homescreen. Just like in the dock. You can just add option "no title" beside small and large option in homescreen customize section
I feel like with the option to have many custom wallpapers that you can select from and create, we should be able to have a way of creating a preset for the icon tint color along with the wallpaper.
For example, If i have one wallpaper that is orange, and i make the icons match that and make them orange tinted, and later make another wallpaper preset with a green wallpaper with green icon tints. When i switch wallpapers, the icon color tint that was set with that wallpaper should appear (orange background w/ orange tint or green background w/ green tint).
As of right now, if I set the app icons tint, and change the wallpaper, the app icons tint stays the same as it was with the other background, and becomes mismatched in a way (orange background with green icons when i had set orange icons).
I have a watchOS app written in C++, Swift and SwiftUI. This app is meant only for 64-bit architecture. I know Apple uses the arm architecture, so I thought arm64 will be the arch of latest AppleWatches.
I tested my code in x64 simulator (Intel Mac) and arm64 simulator (silicon Mac) - no trouble. Next is to test on a device - AppleWatch Series 9, model: A2984. I set the arch to arm64 and my application failed to build, with Xcode showing a popup about arch mismatch... which is due to the app's arch begin different from device's arch. When I change Xcode arch setting to arm64_32, then I don't get this popup, but my builds fail. When I read about arm64_32, I realised that this is a version of arm64 with 32 bit pointers... not the arm64 with 64 bit pointers.
Looking at the specification of AppleWatch Series 9, Apple has confirmed that it has 64 bit CPU, but the instruction set is unknown. This wiki page about different AppleWatch CPUs is marked TBC for AppleWatch Series 9. From Xcode, I got to know that this unconfirmed arch is arm64_32. This completely breaks my code. Are there any 64-bit watches with 64-bit pointer sizes? What is Apple's future in this area? Do they plan to release AppleWatches that support 64-bit pointers or it's always going to be 32?
the application icon turns black in iOS 18's dark mode, resembling a ghost. Therefore, we would like to understand how Apple processes the background of app icons to turn them black in dark mode.
My request is as follows:
I would like to understand the color change principle of app icons in dark mode.
Without using Xcode 16, how can we ensure compatibility so that users with iOS 18 can see the normal icon?
Hello everyone, for a personal project I'd like to reproduce a design element from Apple's saving application.
I'd like to display three rectangles containing text: two horizontally aligned and one next to it. And I'd like the height of the last rectangle to be equal to the height of the two smallest.
Does anyone have a solution? Please provide a sample code
Is there a reason why the active mute indicator is different between CarPlay and iPhone? The iPhone active mute indicator is a button with a white background and a red icon whereas the CarPlay active mute indicator is a button with a white background and black icon.
We make a CallKit app that supports CarPlay and that's how this was noticed, however the Apple phone app behaves the same. I suspect this is intentional as to cut down on distractions for drivers.
Any further explanation would be appreciated.
Thanks
The themes that bundle with Xcode are all very complex, in the sense that they highlight every token-type a different color, and often use colors that are only slightly different (as there aren't nearly enough distinct colors).
Given that these themes are intended to be used, they should be optimized for practicality (not just flexing the power of Xcode). Syntax highlighting is most useful when it distinguishes between things that the programmer distinguishes between conceptually (if I don't know why one variable is blue, while another, apparently similar, variable is red, the highlighting actually makes the code harder to parse correctly).
I've also observed a trend towards more minimal highlighting schemes, just generally. I don't have any evidence for this, but assume other people have noticed it too.
To offer a concrete example, the following scheme does the usual kinda thing with keywords, comments and literals, but sets everything else to look like plain text, except types, which are gold when they're being declared, and copper otherwise:
In my experience, it's notably easier to parse like this, which helps when learning Swift & Co.
This is the same theme, applied to a C-family language (Metal):
I'm not asking for feedback on the theme specifically. I'm just asking whether you agree that Xcode should bundle a couple of these simpler themes.
Hi,
I face problem when I compiler one project in xcode, such as can not accessible path, although I use administrator account, is there suggestion for the condtion? Thanks.
My app lets users create things with text, and I've included Apple fonts so users can format their text with them. These were fonts I found in the Font Book app that comes with macOS. My assumption is that these, like the San Francisco font, can be distributed with apps.
Do I need to attribute these fonts to their creators and publish a license in my "About" page? If so, where do I find the license(s) and what is the proper way of publishing them? Is there anything else I should know?
Please let me know if this should've been posted under a different topic and tag
I think a good choice would be that apps that made from apple to be circle
brand new newbie developer to xcode. so im doing an api call and getting back data from a mysql database. in the xcode preview window im getting data, but i cant figure out how to tie it to the screen when going into the simulator. i have screen 1 that i want to click a button to go to screen 2 that displays the data. screen one (home screen) comes up okay. cant quite figure out what im doing wrong here. im thinking its either a class issue or something to do with view or something. not sure. ive tried looking at so many different videos and i cant seem to find my answer. Any help would be appreciated. thank you
View Controller:
import UIKit
//import SwiftUI
let URL_TOURNAMENT_FETCH = "https://www.thesoftball.com/t2g_mobile_app/mobile_api.php"
class ViewController: UIViewController
{
override func viewDidLoad()
{
super.viewDidLoad()
}
@IBAction func onEmailButtonPressed(_ sender: Any)
{
UIApplication.shared.open(URL(string: "mailto:[email]")! as URL, options: [:],completionHandler: nil)
}
/*
@IBAction func FetchTournButton(_ sender: Any) {
UIApplication.shared.open(URL(string: "https://www.thesoftball.com/t2g_mobile_app/mobile_api.php")! as URL, options: [:],completionHandler: nil)
}
*/
@IBAction func ViewTournamentButton(_ sender: Any)
{
// the following is a popup
let alertController = UIAlertController(title: "Welcome to My First App", message: "Hello World", preferredStyle: UIAlertController.Style.alert)
alertController.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: UIAlertAction.Style.default, handler: nil))
present(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
@IBAction func account_button_pressed(_ sender: Any)
{
UIApplication.shared.open(URL(string: "https://www.thesoftball.com")! as URL, options: [:],completionHandler: nil)
}
/*
struct viewDidLoadModifier: viewDidLoadModifier
{
@State private var didLoad = false
private let action: (() -> void)?
init(perform action)
{
}
}
*/
}
ContentView (preview works in this)
import SwiftUI
struct ContentView: View {
@StateObject var viewModel = ViewModel()
var body: some View {
NavigationView{
List{
ForEach(viewModel.courses,id: \.self) { tournament in
HStack {
Image("")
.frame(width: 5, height: 120)
.background(Color.orange)
VStack {
Text(tournament.name).bold()
Text(tournament.dates)
Text(tournament.datee)
Text(tournament.location)
// Text(course.location)
// Text(course.message)
// .bold()
}
}
.padding(0)
}
}
.navigationTitle("Tournaments")
// .onAppear { viewModel.fetch()}
.onAppear(perform: viewModel.fetch)
}
}
}
struct ContentView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
static var previews: some View {
ContentView()
}
}
Why? What’s the downward risk to allowing the option? A lot of consumers love these widgets.
I see that iOS 18 has tinted app icons. Does anyone know what will happen if we choose not to provide a version of our icon for tinting?
Having a traditional 'NavigationSplitView' setup, I am looking for a way to animate it the same as the sidebarView, where there is a button to toggle and it animates by sliding out from the right side of the view, however the closest I have gotten was manipulating the 'navigationSplitViewColumnWidth' but that always results in the view instantly appearing / disappearing.
I am using SwiftUI for a MacOS specific app.
Here is just a general idea of what I am currently doing, it is by no means a reflection of my real code but serves the purpose of this example.
struct ContentView: View {
@State private var columnWidth: CGFloat = 300
var body: some View {
NavigationSplitView {
List {
NavigationLink(destination: DetailView(item: "Item 1")) {
Text("Item 1")
}
NavigationLink(destination: DetailView(item: "Item 2")) {
Text("Item 2")
}
NavigationLink(destination: DetailView(item: "Item 3")) {
Text("Item 3")
}
}
.navigationTitle("Items")
} detail: {
VStack {
DetailView(item: "Select an item")
Button(action: toggleColumnWidth) {
Text(columnWidth == 300 ? "Collapse" : "Expand")
}
.padding()
}
}
.navigationSplitViewColumnWidth(columnWidth)
}
private func toggleColumnWidth() {
withAnimation {
columnWidth = columnWidth == 300 ? 0 : 300
}
}
}
struct DetailView: View {
var item: String
var body: some View {
Text("Detail view for \(item)")
.navigationTitle(item)
.padding()
}
}
@main
struct MyApp: App {
var body: some Scene {
WindowGroup {
ContentView()
}
}
}
Hii apple!

I'm a newbie in Mac development and Xcode.
Trying to revive an old cross-platform open source project of mine and to continue its development on Xcode.
A new project setup was created using CMake. Managed to compile the project with the required dependencies outside Xcode.
If I try to build the project in Xcode, the only error is:
Command CodeSign failed with a nonzero exit code
Details:
... zzzz.app code object is not signed at all in subcomponent ...
Found a similar question in this forum: https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/701261
Tried to follow the recommendations there, but without success.
The subcomponent in question is simply text files (xpm) which are used by the application during runtime, and are supposed to be copied in the app/Contents directory
Will appreciate any help
Further details on the setup:
(Signing and Capabilities):
Signing is automatic;
Team: "None";
Bundle identifier: empty
Signing certificate: "Sign to run Locally"
(Build phases):
Tried to check "Code Sign on Co..." - no difference
If I check "Copy only when installing" - it builds fine, yet it is not copying my resource files in my zzzz.app/Contents directory
Xcode Version 15.3 (15E204a)
The project is in GitHub
According to Apple's policy guidelines, if my mobile app includes a feature for creating user accounts, I must also provide an option for users to delete their accounts. However, in my app, account creation grants access to other enterprise accounts. Is it acceptable to offer an option to inactivate the user account instead of deleting it, in order to comply with these guidelines?

Hello
iPhone Mirroring is very nice and thank you for it.
I think it should be tilted to the right or left, that is, a side view.
Best regards
Please bring back live wallpapers from previous iPhone models. I have an iPhone 8plus & I have the beautiful purple smoky live wallpaper. I was so obsessed with how pretty it looked when live but now it’s just the pic of the purple smokiness and no live movement. ):
I would also like to point out that I cannot change my home-screen wallpaper without having to change my lock screen as well! What a bummer really bc i would at least like to keep the purple post-live wallpaper as my Lock Screen and be able to change my Home Screen!
