Scrolling is backwards with external devices when rotating to landscape mode
We recently converted an existing app to adopt scenes (for CarPlay). The app has one main view controller that presents a WKWebView to show our content. Everything works fine in both landscape and portait mode when swiping on the screen to scroll. But with an iPad using an external Magic Keyboard, once you rotate to landscape mode the scrolling gestures are reversed. Swiping vertically on the trackpad is scrolling the page horizontally and vice versa. When this happens an error like below is logged (this error also shows up when in portait mode, but scrolling works as expected): Unexpected window orientation: <UIWindow: 0x10370d8f0; orientation: landscapeLeft (4)> { hidden = NO; frame = {{0, 0}, {1180, 820}}; bounds = {{0, 0}, {1180, 820}}; ownsOrientation = NO; ownsOrientationTransform = NO; autorotationDisabled = NO; windowInterfaceOrientation = unknown (0); rootTransformOrientation = landscapeLeft (4); viewTransformOrientation = unknown (0); autorotationDisabled = NO; orientationVC = ... { providedSupportedOrientations = ( Pu Ll Lr Pd ); resolvedSupportedOrientations = ( Pu Ll Lr Pd ); canPreferOrientation = NO; }; }, event type: 6 It seems to suggest that while the view controller orientation is set correctly. It doesn't know what the orientation is for the window. I have been unable to figure out what would change with adopting scenes that would explain this behavior. I assume it has to do with the potential multi-window nature of it but haven't found any docs that describe how to ensure the window is setup to use the same orientation as the device. Any suggestions on things to check?

MapKit polygon render bug when single-vertex self-intersection
We have to draw polygons inside a MKMapView based on coordinates retrieved from external source. It seems that MapKit does not behave correctly where polygons have single-vertex self-intersection. Here it's a simple point list example (every element is a pair of latitude and longitude values): [(0, 0), (20, 0), (10, 10), (20, 20), (0, 20), (10, 10), (0, 0)] The next image shows the rendering issue. But if the list is slightly changed in this way [(0, 0), (20, 0), (10, 10), (20, 20), (0, 20), (15, 10), (0, 0)] the issue disappears. The next image shows it. So it's not a self-intersection and self-tangency problem, but we think single-vertex self-intersection is a buggy edge case for MapKit. Right now we fixed this problem by finding the duplicated coordinates and applying a small offset (1e-8) to one of them, but it's a temporary solution and adds rendering delay. The problem is not due to iOS versions, since iOS 17 and 18 have the same issue. Also it happens on simulators and real devices. Here is the playground example, based mostly on the "Map Playground" template Xcode offers. If you run it without modifying it, the playground shows the "bugged" polygon. If you use notBugPoints instead of the default bugPoints for the polygon, the playground shows the "not-bugged" polygon. import MapKit import PlaygroundSupport // Create an MKMapViewDelegate to provide a renderer for our overlay class MapViewDelegate: NSObject, MKMapViewDelegate { func mapView(_ mapView: MKMapView, rendererFor overlay: MKOverlay) -> MKOverlayRenderer { if let overlay = overlay as? MKPolygon { let polygonRenderer = MKPolygonRenderer(overlay: overlay) polygonRenderer.fillColor = .red return polygonRenderer } return MKOverlayRenderer(overlay: overlay) } } // Create a strong reference to a delegate let delegate = MapViewDelegate() // Create an MKMapView let mapView = MKMapView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 800, height: 800)) mapView.delegate = delegate // Configure The Map elevation and emphasis style let configuration = MKStandardMapConfiguration(elevationStyle: .realistic, emphasisStyle: .default) mapView.preferredConfiguration = configuration // Create an overlay let bugPoints = [ MKMapPoint(CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(0, 0)), MKMapPoint(CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(20, 0)), MKMapPoint(CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(10, 10)), MKMapPoint(CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(20, 20)), MKMapPoint(CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(0, 20)), MKMapPoint(CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(10, 10)), MKMapPoint(CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(0, 0)) ] let notBugPoints = [ MKMapPoint(CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(0, 0)), MKMapPoint(CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(20, 0)), MKMapPoint(CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(10, 10)), MKMapPoint(CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(20, 20)), MKMapPoint(CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(0, 20)), MKMapPoint(CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(15, 10)), MKMapPoint(CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(0, 0)) ] let polygon = MKPolygon(points: bugPoints, count: notBugPoints.count) mapView.addOverlay(polygon) // Frame our annotation and overlay mapView.camera = MKMapCamera(lookingAtCenter: CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(10, 10), fromDistance: 5000000, pitch: 0, heading: 0) // Add the created mapView to our Playground Live View PlaygroundPage.current.liveView = mapView

Incorrect focus behavior in UICollectionView on tvOS 18
After updating to tvOS 18 I've noticed the following change in focus behavior: When a UICollectionView is located next to any other view (even one with user interaction disabled), attempting to move focus within the collection view in that view's direction to a next collection view item, which is currently outside of the visible area, doesn't have any effect. Like if the focus engine preferred to move focus to that other view (despite it being not focusable) over a currently hidden collection view cell. This didn't happen in tvOS 17 and earlier. A minimal reproducible project can be found here. Steps to reproduce: Launch the app on a tvOS 18 device. Swipe right and observe that focus moves without issues. Swipe left and observe that in most cases focus doesn't move to items beyond the visible area due to an empty grey view located to the left from the collection view. Compare to the same app running on tvOS 17 and observe that focus moves both sides without issues. The issue is reproducible on Xcode versions 16.0 (16A242d) and 15.4 (15F31d). Did anyone face the same issue and/or has suggestions on a possible fix?

How do you control the location of the menu in a UIContextMenu ?
class Coordinator: NSObject, UIContextMenuInteractionDelegate, ContextMenuManagerDelegate { var container: ContextMenuContainer var auxiliaryContent: AuxiliaryContent var menuItems: () -> [UIMenuElement] init(container: ContextMenuContainer) { self.container = container self.auxiliaryContent = container.auxiliaryContent self.menuItems = container.menuItems super.init() } func contextMenuInteraction( _ interaction: UIContextMenuInteraction, configurationForMenuAtLocation location: CGPoint ) -> UIContextMenuConfiguration? { container.viewModel.contextMenuManager?.notifyOnContextMenuInteraction( interaction, configurationForMenuAtLocation: location ) return UIContextMenuConfiguration(identifier: nil, previewProvider: nil) { [weak self] _ in UIMenu(title: "", children: self?.menuItems() ?? []) } } func contextMenuInteraction( _ interaction: UIContextMenuInteraction, willDisplayMenuFor configuration: UIContextMenuConfiguration, animator: UIContextMenuInteractionAnimating? ) { container.viewModel.contextMenuManager?.notifyOnContextMenuInteraction( interaction, willDisplayMenuFor: configuration, animator: animator ) } func contextMenuInteraction( _ interaction: UIContextMenuInteraction, willEndFor configuration: UIContextMenuConfiguration, animator: UIContextMenuInteractionAnimating? ) { container.viewModel.contextMenuManager?.notifyOnContextMenuInteraction( interaction, willEndFor: configuration, animator: animator ) } func contextMenuInteraction( _ interaction: UIContextMenuInteraction, previewForHighlightingMenuWithConfiguration configuration: UIContextMenuConfiguration ) -> UITargetedPreview? { guard let targetView = interaction.view else { return nil } let bubbleWithTail = BubbleWithTailPath() let customPath = bubbleWithTail.path(in: targetView.bounds) let parameters = UIPreviewParameters() parameters.visiblePath = customPath return UITargetedPreview( view: targetView, parameters: parameters ) } func onRequestMenuAuxiliaryPreview(sender: ContextMenuManager) -> UIView? { let hostingController = UIHostingController(rootView: auxiliaryContent) hostingController.view.backgroundColor = .clear return hostingController.view } } i am trying to recreate apple's iMessage tapback reaction context menu. i have figured out how to attach an auxiliary view to the view with the menu, however the menu itself varies in position. if i bring up the context menu on a view below half the screen height, the menu appears above the view. else, it appears below. i need it to always be below.

Context Menu Position and Preview Fade
By default, when using Context Menu the menu will flip positions to be above or below the content based on the current screen position. Many apps however, tend to keep the menu anchored to the bottom of the content it is associated with and move the content up to fit the menu (iMessage messages for example). In order to get this behavior, where the menu is always anchored to the bottom and the content "shifts up" to make space you have to use a custom preview by passing a previewProvider. So to get the desired behavior you can use a preview that is the same content as the original view. However, when you do this there is a small fade in animation that gets added and since the content of the original view and preview is the same this appears as a flicker. Is there any way to disable this fade animation or force anchor the menu to the bottom when using the standard preview?

Defer system gestures in a WatchKit app
Hi, I'm making a WatchKit game app with SpriteKit and Objective-C, and I'm encountering an annoyance where system gestures, namely long-pressing the top and bottom edges to pull Notification/Control Center, interfere with the controls of the game. In iOS, this can be mitigated by using overriding preferredScreenEdgesDeferringSystemGestures in UIViewController, but I couldn't find any equivalent API in any WatchKit class, and searching for similar symbols only yielded a single private API (-[_UISystemAppearanceManager screenEdgesDeferringSystemGestures]) that isn't ever called on watchOS. Any idea how to achieve a similar effect on watchOS?

Is there a way to opt a Catalyst app into supporting preferred text size?
As of macOS Sequoia 15.1 (and probably earlier), in System Settings under Accessibility -> Display, there's a Text Size option that looks an awful lot like Dynamic Type on iOS: I have an iOS app with robust support for Dynamic Type that I've brought to the Mac via Catalyst. Is there any way for me to opt this app into supporting this setting, maybe with some Info.plist key? Calendar's Info.plist has a CTIgnoreUserFonts value set to true, but the Info.plist for Notes has no such value.

How can I make my multi-window Catalyst app restore window size and position after closing with stoplight button?
I have a Catalyst app that supports multiple scenes / windows. It has one "main" window type and lots of other secondary windows that can be opened. I'm using the system window restoration functionality via NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows to restore windows with their user activity data after the app is quit and restarted. Normally, this works great. If I open my app, change the size and position of my window, quit, and reopen it, the window size and position comes back as expected. But if I close the window using the red stoplight button and then click the app icon to bring it back, it comes back at the default position and size. This isn't how other system apps work - if I close the system Calendar app with the stoplight button, it comes back at the same size and position. How do I get this behavior with my Catalyst app? Is there some identifier property I need to set somewhere? I don't see such a property on UISceneConfiguration. If it matters, I'm using the configurationForConnectingSceneSession method to configure my windows when they open, instead of setting it up in the Info.plist.
