When user enters in a textfield, is the input of textfield gets stored in a String ? If yes, then String in swift being immutable, as user keeps on typing does new memory for storing that text gets allocated with each key stroke ? And when we read users input by using delegate method textField(_ textField: UITextField, shouldChangeCharactersIn range: NSRange, replacementString string: String) from textfield.text, we get users input in a String. Is it same storage as used by textfield for storing the user input on key stroke or is it some other storage with copy of the user's input in it? Or is UItextfield using a diffrent data structure (buffer) for storing the user input and when we do textfield.text, it gives a copy of data stored in original buffer?

I used .tint(.yellow) to change the default back button color. However, I noticed that the color of the alert button text, except for .destructive, also changed. Is this a bug or Apple’s intended behavior? this occurs in iOS 18.1 and 18.1.1 Below is my code: // App struct TintTestApp: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { MainView() .tint(.yellow) } } } // MainView var mainContent: some View { Text("Next") .foregroundStyle(.white) .onTapGesture { isShowingAlert = true } .alert("Go Next View", isPresented: $isShowingAlert) { Button("ok", role: .destructive) { isNextButtonTapped = true } Button("cancel", role: .cancel) { } } } thank you!

Hi, How to customize tables in SwiftUI its color background for example, the background modifier doesn't work ? how to change separator lines ? rows background colors ? give header row different colors to its text and background color ? Kind Regards

I have a CALayer and I'd like to animate a property on it. But, the property that triggers the animation change is different to the one that is being changed. A basic example of what I'm trying to do is below. I'm trying to create an animation on count by changing triggerProperty. This example is simplified (in my project, the triggerProperty is not an Int, but a more complex non-animatable type. So, I'm trying to animate it by creating animations for some of it's properties that can be matched to CABasicAnimation - and rendering a version of that class based on the interpolated values). @objc class AnimatableLayer: CALayer { @NSManaged var triggerProperty: Int @NSManaged var count: Int override init() { super.init() triggerProperty = 1 setNeedsDisplay() } override init(layer: Any) { super.init(layer: layer) } required init?(coder: NSCoder) { fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented") } override class func needsDisplay(forKey key: String) -> Bool { return key == String(keypath: \AnimatableLayer.triggerProperty) || super.needsDisplay(forKey: key) } override func action(forKey event: String) -> (any CAAction)? { if event == String(keypath: \AnimatableLayer.triggerProperty) { if let presentation = self.presentation() { let keyPath = String(keypath: \AnimatableLayer.count) let animation = CABasicAnimation(keyPath: keyPath) animation.duration = 2.0 animation.timingFunction = CAMediaTimingFunction(name: CAMediaTimingFunctionName.linear) animation.fromValue = presentation.count animation.toValue = 10 return animation } } return super.action(forKey: event) } override func draw(in ctx: CGContext) { print("draw") NSGraphicsContext.saveGraphicsState() let nsctx = NSGraphicsContext(cgContext: ctx, flipped: true) // create NSGraphicsContext NSGraphicsContext.current = nsctx // set current context let renderText = NSAttributedString(string: "\(self.presentation()?.count ?? self.count)", attributes: [.font: NSFont.systemFont(ofSize: 30)]) renderText.draw(in: bounds) NSGraphicsContext.restoreGraphicsState() } func animate() { print("animate") self.triggerProperty = 10 } } With this code, the animation isn't triggered. It seems to get triggered only if the animation's keypath matches the one on the event (in the action func). Is it possible to do something like this?

I have a SwiftUI based program that has compiled and run consistently on previous macos versions. After upgrading to 15.2 beta 4 to address a known issue with TabView in 15.1.1, my app is now entering a severe hang and crashing with: "The window has been marked as needing another Update Contraints in Window pass, but it has already had more Update Constraints in Window passes than there are views in the window. .<SwiftUI.AppKitWindow: 0x11d82a800> 0x87 (2071) {{44,0},{1468,883}} en" Is there a known bug that could be causing this crash or known change in the underlying layout model?

Hi, would anyone be so kind and try to guide me, which technologies, Kits, APIs, approaches etc. are useful for creating a horizontal window with map (preferrably MapKit) on visionOS using SwiftUI? I was hoping to achieve scenario: User can walk around and interact with horizontal map window and also interact with (3D) pins on the map. Similar thing was done by SAP in their "SAP Analytics Cloud" app (second image from top). Since I am complete beginner in this area, I was looking for a clean, simple solution. I need to know, if AR/RealityKit is necessary or is this achievable only using native SwiftUI? I tried using just Map() with .rotation3DEffect() which actually makes the map horizontal, but gestures on the map are out of sync and I really dont know, if this approach is valid or complete rubbish. Any feedback appreciated.

I can't shake the "I don't think I did this correctly" feeling about a change I'm making for Image Playground support. When you create an image via an Image Playground sheet it returns a URL pointing to where the image is temporarily stored. Just like the Image Playground app I want the user to be able to decide to edit that image more. The Image Playground sheet lets you pass in a source URL for an image to start with, which is perfect because I could pass in the URL of that temp image. But the URL is NOT optional. So what do I populate it with when the user is starting from scratch? A friendly AI told me to use URL(string: "")! but that crashes when it gets forced unwrapped. URL(string: "about:blank")! seems to work in that it is ignored (and doesn't crash) when I have the user create the initial image (that shouldn't have a source image). This feels super clunky to me. Am I overlooking something?

If I have a Catalyst app with a WKWebView and I select text, I can drag forward to extend the selection, but I can't reduce the length of the selected range by dragging backwards. I've reproduced this in a trivial sample app. Is there some property I need to set somewhere? I've filed this as FB15645411.

Our tvOS app makes use of top shelf Carousel style slides to promote our content. We would like to detect when tvOS transitions between individual top shelf slides, regardless of whether the slide transition is made by a user (via the Siri remote), or by the system idle auto-transition. Has anyone achieved this, maybe there are undocumented system hooks or events we can listen to?

Why assigning function.formula = formula does not change function.formula to formula in one go? It's always late one change behind. struct CustomFunction has defined .formula as @MainActor. I feel stupid. There is a part of code: struct CustomFormulaView: View { @Binding var function: CustomFunction @State var testFormula: String = "" @EnvironmentObject var manager: Manager .... .onChange(of: testFormula) { debugPrint("change of test formula: \(testFormula)") switch function.checkFormula(testFormula, on: manager.finalSize) { case .success(let formula): debugPrint("before Change: \(function.formula)") function.formula = formula // Nothing happens debugPrint("Test formula changed: \(testFormula)") debugPrint("set to success: \(formula)") debugPrint("what inside function? \(function.formula)") Task { //Generate Image testImage = await function.image( size: testImageSize), simulate: manager.finalSize) debugPrint("test image updated for: \(function.formula)") } .... and it produces this output when changed from 0.5 to 1.0 Debug: change of test formula: 1.0 Debug: before Change: 0.5 Debug: Test formula changed: 1.0 Debug: set to success: 1.0 Debug: what inside function? 0.5 Debug: test image updated for: 0.5 0.5 is an old value, function.formula should be 1.0 WT??

I'm trying to configure the share sheet. My project uses techniques from the Apple Sample project called CoreDataCloudKitShare which is found here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coredata/sharing_core_data_objects_between_icloud_users# In this sample code there's a "PersistenceController" which is an NSPersistentCloudKitContainer. In the "PersistenceController+SharingUtilities" file there are some extensions, and one of them is this: func configure(share: CKShare, with photo: Photo? = nil) { share[CKShare.SystemFieldKey.title] = "A cool photo" } This text "A cool photo" seems to be the only bespoke configuration of the share sheet within this project. I want to have more options to control the share sheet, does anyone know how this might be achieved? Thank you!

Hi, This issue started with iOS 18, in iOS 17 it worked correctly. I think there was a change in SectionedFetchRequest so maybe I missed it but it did work in iOS 17. I have a List that uses SectionedFetchRequest to show entries from CoreData. The setup is like this: struct ManageBooksView: View { @SectionedFetchRequest<Int16, MyBooks>( sectionIdentifier: \.groupType, sortDescriptors: [SortDescriptor(\.groupType), SortDescriptor(\.name)] ) private var books: SectionedFetchResults<Int16, MyBooks> var body: some View { NavigationStack { List { ForEach(books) { section in Section(header: Text(section.id)) { ForEach(section) { book in NavigationLink { EditView(book: book) } label: { Text(book.name) } } } } } .listStyle(.insetGrouped) } } } struct EditView: View { private var book: MyBooks init(book: MyBooks) { print("Init hit") self.book = book } } Test 1: So now when I change name of the Book entity inside the EditView and do save on the view context and go back, the custom EditView is correctly hit again. Test 2: If I do the same changes on a different attribute of the Book entity the custom init of EditView is not hit and it is stuck with the initial result from SectionedFetchResults. I also noticed that if I remove SortDescriptor(\.name) from the sortDescriptors and do Test 1, it not longer works even for name, so it looks like the only "observed" change is on the attributes inside sortDescriptors. Any suggestions will be helpful, thank you.

Hello Apple Developer Community, I am encountering an issue with app icon rendering after updating an app on devices running iOS 18 or newer. Below are the details: Issue Summary: When updating an app from a previous version (with separate light and dark mode icons) to the latest version (where both modes use the same icon), the icon changes are not reflected consistently across all system menus. Steps to Reproduce: Set the device mode to Dark Mode. Install the previous app version (with different icons for light and dark modes). Update the app to the latest version (where both modes use the same icon). Change the device mode to Light Mode. Switch back to Dark Mode. Expected Behavior: The app icon should remain consistent across all system menus (Home Screen, Spotlight search, etc.) when switching between Light and Dark Modes. Observed Behavior: The app icon displays correctly on the Home Screen but inconsistencies appear in other menus, such as Spotlight search or when toggling between modes. For instance, in Dark Mode, the icon may revert to the previous black-colored logo or display incorrectly compared to the updated design. Additional Notes: The asset catalog is configured correctly, with identical icons set for both light and dark modes in the latest app version. Incrementing the build number was implemented during the update. A manual device restart resolves the issue on some devices, but not consistently. Questions for the Community: Has anyone else experienced similar app icon caching or rendering issues in iOS 18 or later? Are there known workarounds or specific configurations to ensure consistent icon rendering across all system menus? Could this be related to iOS 18's icon caching or appearance handling mechanisms? Your insights and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time!

In my iOS App I present a QLPreviewController where I want to display a locally stored Video from the iPhone's document directory. let previewController = QLPreviewController() previewController.dataSource = self self.present(previewController, animated: true, completion: nil) func previewController(_ controller: QLPreviewController, previewItemAt index: Int) -> QLPreviewItem { let url = urlForPreview return url! as QLPreviewItem } This seems to work fine for all but one of my testflight users.
