Hello!
I discovered a bug on Catalyst about a three years ago but it still seems to be not fixed. My bug report number is FB9705748.
The Internet is silent on this so I'm even not sure, perhaps it's only me.
So to the problem. When you display UICollectionViewController or UIViewController that contains UICollectionView, interact with the collection view then dismiss the view controller, the displayed view controller isn't released if dismissal is done through navigation bar item.
The problem occurs only when the run target is My Mac (Mac Catalyst). Everything is fine when you run on iOS or via My Mac (Designed for iPad).
The sample project is uploaded to GitHub. It has a video that shows this strange behavior, see the log for 'deinit' messages.
I did have some workaround to fix this but it stops to work, presumable on the new macOS. Also, chances are that it's not only UICollectionView which initiates the glitch, it's just that I only encounter it with collection views.

I am trying to set my UITextView as the first responder with [self.textView becomeFirstResponder] when my view controller called viewDidAppear.
But sometimes it will cause crash with the error: [__NSPlaceholderArray initWithObjects:count:]: attempt to insert nil object from objects[0]
all I did is just:
- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated {
[super viewDidAppear:animated];
[self.textView becomeFirstResponder];
}
So if anyone can tell me what happened and how to do? when I call the [self.textView becomeFirstResponder], what will be insert into the responders list? self.textView itself?
Thanks very much!
Hi everyone,
I’m wondering about Core Data. When creating a private context using newBackgroundContext(), does it automatically set the parent to the view context, or is it independent? I'd appreciate it if anyone could clarify this for me.
Thanks in advance! 😊
Hi,
I've encountered the following phenomenon when comparing drag&drop in iOS 18.0 with iOS 17.5:
Let's say you have a small child view sitting on top of a larger parent view.
In iOS 18.0, when hovering over the child view with a drag object and leaving the child view, the child view will propagate a
"dropInteraction:sessionDidExit:" call to the UIDropInteractionDelegate of its parent view.
The parent view now thinks, that the drag object is moved away from it (which is not the case!) and in turn its delegate doesn't receive any "dropInteraction:performDrop:" calls anymore.
In iOS 17.5 this case is handled correctly (without "dropInteraction:sessionDidExit:" being propagated wrongly by child views to their parent views).
Is this change in behavior intended or is this a bug?
My iOS app crashes, when kept idle in the background for sometime. Below is the detailed crash report.

In SPM package test running on visionOS 2, when creating a UISwitch we get a crash / error:
Nil UISwitch visual element provided by <UISwitch: 0x102b15590; frame = (0 0; 0 0); layer = <CALayer: 0x6000004c1780>> (NSInternalInconsistencyException)
This issue only occurs on visionOS 2 in Xcode 16 with Swift Package Manager. It works fine when running on visionOS 1.2 in Xcode 16 with SPM, as well as on iOS 18 in Xcode 16 with SPM. Additionally, running the test on visionOS inside of a non-SPM package (Project test) is also fine.
What results you expected - The test should pass for UISwitch initialization on SPM for visionOS 2 on Xcode 16.
What results you actually saw - Test failure with error - Nil UISwitch visual element provided by <UISwitch: 0x102b15590; frame = (0 0; 0 0); layer = <CALayer: 0x6000004c1780>> (NSInternalInconsistencyException)

Hello Dear Developers,
Is it only to me or in iOS 18 there's a problem with Settings.bundle, Im using my settings.bundle to set my enivement for my app but after upgrading to iOS 18 I can't see my Settings.Bundle in my settings iphone,
just to mention that I also updated my xcode to 16.
Anyone who has occur with this problem? :)
I have been using the following function in my UITabBarController for several years, which runs some code when the user clicks a tab. I have now built the app using Xcode 16 and when I run it on my iPad with iPadOS 18, the function is not called. When I run the same app on iPadOS 16, it works just fine like it always has.
Is this a bug, or is there something new that I need to do for iOS 18 support?
override func tabBar(_tabBar: UITabBar, didSelect item: UITabBarItem) {
// Some code
}
NOTE: My UITabBarController is presented from my root view controller, which is a UINavigationController.
I've seen several users experiencing an app crash that I've been unable to find the root cause of so far. I've tried manual symbolication but have been unable to reproduce it. It only occurs for iPad device running on iOS 17.6.1. Any ideas on how I can troubleshoot this?

I am trying to seamlessly transition a view from one view controller and have it "jump" into a sheet.
Apple does this in their widget picker for example when you add one of the top widgets.
Based on all the documentation I've read, the most common approach to this is to snapshot the area/view that you are trying to seamlessly transition in the presented view controller (the place where the item is coming from. And then have that snapshot translate across into where it should be in the layout of the presenting view controller.
func makeAnimatorIfNeeded(
using transitionContext: UIViewControllerContextTransitioning
) -> UIViewPropertyAnimator {
if let animator = animator {
return animator
}
// Presentation animation
let animator = UIViewPropertyAnimator(
duration: 0.5,
timingParameters: UISpringTimingParameters(dampingRatio: 1.0)
)
guard let fromVC = transitionContext.viewController(forKey: .from),
let toVC = transitionContext.viewController(forKey: .to)
else {
transitionContext.completeTransition(false)
return animator
}
/// !IMPORTANT: For some weird reason, accessing the views of the view controller
/// directly, like `fromVC.view` or `toVC.view` will break the sheet transition and gestures.
/// Instead, use the `view(forKey:)` method of the `transitionContext` to get the views.
let fromView = transitionContext.view(forKey: .from)
let toView = transitionContext.view(forKey: .to)
let containerView = transitionContext.containerView
let fromFrame = transitionContext.viewController(forKey: .from).map { transitionContext.finalFrame(for: $0) } ?? containerView.bounds
let toFrame = transitionContext.viewController(forKey: .to).map { transitionContext.finalFrame(for: $0) } ?? containerView.bounds
// Calculate the frame of sourceView relative to fromVC.view to capture the correct snapshot area.
let snapshotFrameInFromVC = sourceView?.convert(sourceView?.frame ?? .zero, to: fromVC.view) ?? containerView.frame
// Calculate the frame of sourceView relative to containerView to position the snapshot correctly.
let snapshotFrameInContainer = sourceView?.convert(sourceView?.frame ?? .zero, to: containerView) ?? containerView.frame
let snapshot: UIView?
if isPresenting {
// Create a snapshot of fromVC.view from the defined area (snapshotFrameInFromVC).
let originalColor = fromVC.view.backgroundColor
fromVC.view.backgroundColor = .clear
snapshot = fromVC.view.resizableSnapshotView(from: snapshotFrameInFromVC,
afterScreenUpdates: true,
withCapInsets: .zero)
fromVC.view.backgroundColor = originalColor
// Position the snapshot correctly within the snapshot container
snapshot?.frame = snapshotFrameInContainer
toView?.frame = toFrame
toView?.transform = CGAffineTransform(translationX: 0, y: containerView.frame.size.height)
toView?.layoutIfNeeded()
if let fromView {
containerView.addSubview(fromView)
}
if let toView {
containerView.addSubview(toView)
containerView.addSubview(snapshot ?? UIView())
}
let toViewCenter = CGPoint(
x: toVC.view.bounds.midX,
y: toVC.view.bounds.midY + 55
)
let gestureVelocity = CGPoint(x: 0, y: -5000)
animator.addAnimations {
Wave.animate(
withSpring: self.animatedSpring,
mode: .animated,
gestureVelocity: gestureVelocity
) {
snapshot?.animator.frame.size = CGSize(width: 204, height: 204) // Important to animate first
snapshot?.animator.center = toViewCenter
} completion: { finished, retargeted in
print("finished: \(finished), retargeted: \(retargeted)")
}
toView?.transform = CGAffineTransform.identity
}
animator.addCompletion { animatingPosition in
switch animatingPosition {
case .end:
snapshot?.removeFromSuperview()
transitionContext.completeTransition(true)
default:
transitionContext.completeTransition(false)
}
}
} else {
// Transitioning view is fromView
if let toView {
containerView.addSubview(toView)
}
if let fromView {
containerView.addSubview(fromView)
}
animator.addAnimations {
fromView?.transform = CGAffineTransform(translationX: 0, y: containerView.frame.size.height)
}
animator.addCompletion { animatingPosition in
switch animatingPosition {
case .end:
transitionContext.completeTransition(true)
default:
transitionContext.completeTransition(false)
}
}
}
self.animator = animator
return animator
}
I can pull this off seamlessly if the animation involves a simple movement from A to B.
But if I try to resize the snapshot as well, the snapshot becomes pixelated and low quality (I assume this is because the snapshot is literally a small screenshot and I'm stretching it from 56x56 to 204x204).
Is there another way that I'm overlooking to pull this off without a snapshot? Or is there a way I can resize the snapshot without losing quality?
Here is the animator code, it works great without the sizing so this should help future people looking to replicate the same effect anyways.
With the upcoming launch of Apple Intelligence and Writing Tools, we've been forced to migrate our text editing app to TextKit 2. As soon as we released the update, we immediately got complaints about incorrect selection behaviour, where the user would tap a word to begin editing, but the caret would be shown in an undefined location, often dozens of paragraphs below the selected content.
To reproduce:
Create a UITextView backed by a standard TextKit 2 stack and a large amount of text (50,000+ words) - see sample project below
Scroll quickly through the text view (at least 20% of the way down)
Tap once to select a position in the document.
Expected:
The caret appears at the location the user tapped, and UITextView.selectedRange is the range of the text at the location of the tap. This is the behaviour of TextKit 1 based UITextViews.
Actual:
The caret is positioned at an undefined location (often completely off screen), and the selectedRange is different to the range at the location of the tap, often by several thousand. There is no pattern to the magnitude of the discrepancy.
This incorrect behaviour occurs consistently in the sample project on the simulator, but you may need to hide the keyboard by pulling down, then repeat steps 2-3 a few times. This happens on iPhone and iPad, and on iOS 17, 18, and 18.1.
Do you have any insight into why this might be happening or how to work around this issue?
Sample code is here: https://github.com/nathantesler/textkit2-issue/tree/master
UITextView changed the sequence of views and on the top UIView. As a result in the custom gesture class in "touchesBegan" method, this code brings me "let touchedView = touches.first?.view" type of view UIView but it must be my own custom class type.
How can I get a tapped type of view? Help please
override func touchesBegan(_ touches: Set, with event: UIEvent) {
super.touchesBegan(touches, with: event)
let touchedView = touches.first?.view
}

I'm using UIKit to display a long list of large images inside a SwiftUI ScrollView and LazyHStack using UIViewControllerRepresentable. When an image is loaded, I'm using SDWebImage to load the image from the disk.
As the user navigates through the list and continues to load more images, more memory is used and is never cleared, even as the images are unloaded by the LazyHStack. Eventually, the app reaches the memory limit and crashes. This issue persists if I load the image with UIImage(contentsOfFile: ...) instead of SDWebImage.
How can I free the memory used by UIImage when the view is removed?
ScrollView(.horizontal, showsIndicators: false) {
LazyHStack(spacing: 16) {
ForEach(allItems) { item in
TestImageDisplayRepresentable(item: item)
.frame(width: geometry.size.width, height: geometry.size.height)
.id(item.id)
}
}
.scrollTargetLayout()
}
import UIKit
import SwiftUI
import SDWebImage
class TestImageDisplay: UIViewController {
var item: TestItem
init(item: TestItem) {
self.item = item
super.init(nibName: nil, bundle: nil)
}
required init?(coder: NSCoder) {
fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
}
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let imageView = UIImageView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 200, height: 200))
imageView.center = view.center
view.addSubview(imageView)
imageView.sd_setImage(with: item.imageURL, placeholder: nil)
}
}
struct TestImageDisplayRepresentable: UIViewControllerRepresentable {
var item: TestItem
func makeUIViewController(context: Context) -> TestImageDisplay {
return TestImageDisplay(item: item)
}
func updateUIViewController(_ uiViewController: TestImageDisplay, context: Context) {
uiViewController.item = item
}
}
is now broken. (but definitely worked when I originally wrote my Document-based app)
It's been a few years.
DocumentBrowserViewController's delegate implements the following func.
func documentBrowser(_ controller: UIDocumentBrowserViewController, didRequestDocumentCreationWithHandler importHandler: @escaping (URL?, UIDocumentBrowserViewController.ImportMode) -> Void) {
let newDocumentURL: URL? = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "blankFile", withExtension: "trtl2")
// Make sure the importHandler is always called, even if the user cancels the creation request.
if newDocumentURL != nil {
importHandler(newDocumentURL, .copy)
} else {
importHandler(nil, .none)
}
}
When I tap the + in the DocumentBrowserView, the above delegate func is called (my breakpoint gets hit and I can step through the code) newDocumentURL is getting defined successfully and
importHandler(newDocumentURL, .copy)
gets called, but returns the following error:
Optional(Error Domain=com.apple.DocumentManager Code=2 "No location available to save “blankFile.trtl2”." UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=No location available to save “blankFile.trtl2”., NSLocalizedRecoverySuggestion=Enable at least one location to be able to save documents.})
This feels like something new I need to set up in the plist, but so far haven't been able to discover what it is.
perhaps I need to update something in info.plist? perhaps one of:
CFBundleDocumentTypes
UTExportedTypeDeclarations
Any guidance appreciated.
thanks :-)
I have created a custom logo in the SFSymbols 6.1 app and exported it as SVG.
clock.arrow.trianglehead.clockwise.rotate.90.svg
The icon consists of two layers and I want them to animate by layer. This works for the wiggle effect (the two layers are moving independently), but not for the rotate effect (the logo moves as a whole). Why? This is my code:
let imageView = UIImageView()
imageView.preferredSymbolConfiguration = UIImage.SymbolConfiguration(scale: .large)
imageView.image = UIImage(named: "clock.arrow.trianglehead.clockwise.rotate.90", in: nil, with: nil)
imageView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
let imageView2 = UIImageView()
imageView2.preferredSymbolConfiguration = UIImage.SymbolConfiguration(scale: .large)
imageView2.image = UIImage(named: "clock.arrow.trianglehead.clockwise.rotate.90", in: nil, with: nil)
imageView2.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
imageView.addSymbolEffect(.rotate.byLayer, options: .repeat(.continuous));
imageView2.addSymbolEffect(.wiggle.byLayer, options: .repeat(.continuous));
view.addSubview(imageView)
view.addSubview(imageView2)
NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
imageView.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerXAnchor),
imageView.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerYAnchor),
imageView2.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerXAnchor),
imageView2.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: imageView.bottomAnchor, constant: 40),
])
In iOS 18, when navigating from Page A (with a red navigation bar background color) to Page B, and Page B hides the navigation bar, upon returning to Page A, the background color of the navigation bar appears white (seemingly transparent).
The navigation bar background for the share button should be red.
We are currently combining AutoLayout and StackView to structure our cells, and we’re using UICollectionViewCompositionalLayout to set up sections. Additionally, we’re utilizing UICollectionViewDiffableDataSource to manage the data source. On the home screen, we display cells in a multi-section layout.
In the main screen, we support infinite scrolling and use a paging method that fetches 10 items at a time from the API. As we fetch and render more data, the number of displayed cells increases. However, we’ve noticed that as the number of displayed cells grows, the UI freezes during the process of fetching and rendering more data.
We suspect that the issue lies in the configuration of UICollectionViewCompositionalLayout. When data is fetched through paging, the data is applied to the CollectionViewDiffableDataSource, and during the process of displaying it on the screen, the method that configures the UICollectionViewCompositionalLayout layout is called. The problem here is that when 10 cells are displayed on the screen and we fetch more data through paging and add 10 more cells, the layout calculation is redone for all 20 cells. In other words, the UICollectionViewCompositionalLayout layout configuration occurs a total of 20 times.
Because of this, it seems that the UI freezing issue occurs as the number of cells increases.
What steps can we take to resolve this problem? We have attached the relevant code for your reference.
private lazy var collectionView = UICollectionView(
frame: .zero,
collectionViewLayout: self.createCollectionViewLayout()
)
private func createCollectionViewLayout() -> UICollectionViewLayout {
let layout = UICollectionViewCompositionalLayout { [weak self] sectionIndex, _ in

I'm working on an iOS app that integrates with Spotify for authentication. I’m facing a problem where the app doesn’t handle URL schemes and app state transitions properly. Specifically, when Spotify redirects back to my app, it either doesn’t handle the URL correctly or doesn’t transition between states as expected. The authorization for spotify is successful, then my app reopens and nothing happens after that.
Expected Behavior: When Spotify redirects to my app, it should correctly handle the URL and process authentication parameters.
Actual Behavior: Even with URL handling code commented out, the app reopens from Spotify, which suggests a possible issue with how URL schemes or app state transitions are managed. The app’s state transitions don’t seem to be handled as expected.
Troubleshooting Steps Taken:
Verified URL schemes and redirect URIs.
Implemented application(_:open:options:) for URL handling.
Tested various app states (foreground, background, suspended).
//This code should open my app using the URL from spotify but this code never triggers and yet my app opens anyways//
func application(_ app: UIApplication, open url: URL, options: [UIApplication.OpenURLOptionsKey: Any] = [:]) -> Bool {
print("Received URL: (url.absoluteString)")
handleSpotifyURL(url)
return true
}
private func handleSpotifyURL(_ url: URL) {
// URL handling logic
}
func applicationDidBecomeActive(_ application: UIApplication) {
// Logic for when the app becomes active
}
//Using latest software for xcode, testing on iphone 14 with up to date software and up to date spotify
As mentioned - have ensure that my info plist is configured correctly, that spotify authorizes correctly, that the redirect URI is correct in my code and on spotify for developers.
From the testing I've done I imagine there is something wrong with how my app gets opened vs how it should get opened with the callback URL triggering func application(_ app: UIApplication, open url: URL, options:....
What I am expecting is that when spotify triggers the callback url - my app reopens with the above function and from there can retrieve the access token etc.
