Hi everyone,
I've noticed that on iOS 26 beta 1 through beta 4, when using a List with the .plain style, the section header overlaps with the cell content below it, as there is no background for the header. This creates a poor visual experience.
Additionally, when using NavigationSplitView on iPad, the second column's list always shows this issue.
Is this an intentional design change, or just a temporary issue? I haven't found a good workaround so far.
Thanks!

I'm in the process of add some swift code that is all objective-c. I have trouble with my actual app so I have worked on a prototype. There is what I have done
Created a new Xcode project, selecting App and Objc
Added a blank Swift file and accepted the generation of the -Bridging-Header.
In project build setting, Yes for Defines Modules, Yes for Always Embed Swift Libraries
Add appropriate .h file to Bridging header
In Build Settings, in Swift Compiler - General, Bridging Header has correct path to the bridging header file
Setup the single swift file in this was using @objc like this:
@objcmembers
class MySwiftClass: NSObject {
func myMethod() {
let output = ...
}
}
When the project runs I execute in the objc ViewController:
MySwiftClass *swiftObject = [[MySwiftClass alloc] init];
and get
Use of undeclared identifier 'MySwiftClass'
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreconnectapi/devicecreaterequest/data-data.dictionary/attributes-data.dictionary
According to the API documentation above, the parameter values for platform can be three: IOS, MAC-OS, and UNIVERSAL. After debugging, it was found that IOS and MAC-OS can be used normally, but UNIVERSAL encountered an error UNIVERSAL' is not a valid value for the attribute 'platform'. Expected one of: 'IOS', 'MAC_OS', I would like to know if this value has been deprecated or if the API interface requires new version support, and how to use this value! Please help me solve it! thank you!
With the code below, JSON data is parsed and is stored in the variable data in the .onAppear function, however an empty set of data is passed to the Content view. How can that be fixed so that the JSON data passes to the DataView?
struct ContentView: View {
@State var data: [Data]
@State var index: Int = 0
var body: some View {
VStack {
DataView(data: data[index])
}
.onAppear {
let filePath = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "data", ofType: "json")
let url = URL(fileURLWithPath: filePath!)
data = getData(url: url)
}
}
func getData(url: URL) -> [Data] {
do {
let data = try Data(contentsOf: url)
let jsonDecoded = try JSONDecoder().decode([Data].self, from: data)
return jsonDecoded
} catch let error as NSError {
print("Fail: \(error.localizedDescription)")
} catch {
print("Fail: \(error)")
}
return []
}
}
We have found that on iOS 26 beta some of our app icons built from an Xcode 16 asset catalog containing a single 1024x1024 .png file have a Liquid Glass effect applied to them while others have not.
The documentation states that
If you choose not to use Icon Composer, you can still use an AppIcon asset catalog in your project containing individual app icon images and let the system apply the Liquid Glass material.
and
If you prefer, you can take advantage of the system’s automatically generated treatment that is applied to all app icons.
Is there any insight into how the system treats app icons that have not yet been updated with Icon Composer?
I've designed a new UI for phones.. I'd like Apple to look at it and see what they think
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/10QSQvAdRRkL-eA9WRsSEbsL62XIayJ75Mbi93tx92DI/edit?usp=drive_link
As of right now Icon Composer does not support creating app icons for visionOS and tvOS. It appears that only system apps can provide glass icons for those platforms. How should developers handle this? In extreme cases, the flat icon on those platforms will look wildly different from their glass counterparts.
From what I have seen visionOS and tvOS also do not apply any automatic treatment like on iOS where legacy icons get a glass effect.
So, third party app icons are just going to look out of place for (hopefully just) a year on those platforms? What is the recommended approach here? You could obviously fake the effect, but I feel like that would be worse.
Hi everyone,
I am working on a CarPlay integration, and need open a two level list opened from a root template. However, I am always receiving an error message when opening the 2nd pushed template.
To narrow it down not to have an issue with some app specific code I created the CarPlay scene below.
I am aware that there is a limit, but two levels I understand are supported on all CarPlay integrations, the maximum seems to be 5.
The app is just crashing right after showing the 2nd template.
Any ideas? Any hints are much appreciated.
Thanks a lot!
Regards, Michael

Hello everyone,
I’ve reached out to Apple’s review team multiple times, but unfortunately, I haven’t received any clear or specific guidance on why my app was rejected. My app has been rejected several times with the reason “Spam” under guideline 4.3, and I still don't understand exactly which part of the app is problematic.
Even after providing the necessary information about the data, I resubmitted the app, and after a few days, it quickly moved into "In Review" status, but then was rejected within seconds with the same “Spam” message.
I have sent over 13 messages asking for specific feedback, and all I get are vague responses saying “It’s spam, refer to 4.3, fix your app, and resubmit.” However, when I review the guidelines, I don’t see any specific reasons for rejection that apply to my app.
I’m particularly confused because my app is a VPN, and when I check the guidelines, I see that apps in categories like dating and others are saturated, but VPN apps are not. My app uses completely dedicated servers, and the IP addresses are not found in any other apps.
Still, my app keeps getting rejected. If anyone has encountered a similar issue or has any insight into what might be causing this, I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide detailed guidance on what specifically needs to be changed to get the app approved.
Thank you!
Hi everyone. Can you help me with my settings icon design. I`m trying to create circular setting button using Menu. My code here:
struct MenuView: View {
var body: some View {
Menu {
Text("Hello")
Text("How are you")
} label: {
Image(systemName: "gearshape.fill")
.clipShape(Circle())
}
.clipShape(Circle())
.padding(.top, 10)
.padding(.leading, 20)
}
}
You can see my try, this one looks wrong.
It should be like this:
Just Circle with setting image inside. Thank you an advance 😭🙏🛐
How can I achieve the result of buttons glass effect like sample videos that was show at de WWDC25? I tried a lot of approaches and I still far a way from the video.
I would like something like the pictures attached. Could send a sample code the get the same result?
Thanks
On earlier iOS versions Live Activity displays correctly according to mode set.
Can't find an opened issue for that
version: iOS 26
device: iPhone 16
I'm trying to use URL structure in the foundation framework and it is failing to build, returning a nil value. Could it be trying to evaluate the string I am giving it as a variable for its argument at build time? Is there a test argument I can give URL to see if it can return a non-nil value? (of URL type)?
In the past, we had a red badge without a number on the app icon. We want to bring it back. Please provide instructions.
So…I am hitting a wall here and could use some guidance towards best practice.
I’ve developed an app in Xcode/SwiftUI that renders just fine on the iPhone - text, images, buttons, frames…everything is nicely centered on the screen or scrolls where and when I want.
The iPad though…not so much. I’m having issues with tops and bottoms being cut off in scrollviews. These are just straight up text screens too - the ones with other elements/controls…they’re rendering fine.
I’ve tried a mix of geometry, vstack, scrollview, padding, spacers…the lot of it. Nothing I seem to do works - the views do not want to fill and fit properly.
And, of course, the issue becomes worse the moment you flip the iPad into landscape view. Or use the 13” models.
I’d imagine others are battling these issues as well and found solutions, so I decided to hit up the brain trust.
hi, i have an objc ipad application that use xib with zooming for adapt to the screen (until ios18) but with ipad os 26 will be displayed wrong
Hi there
I have developed an offline algorithm for calculating tides, which works based on the built-in database of tidal stations in some regions. The algorithm works correctly and the results match the real data.
I would like to receive and add moon data from Weather Kit to the algorithm for performance improvement experiments. What requirements do I need to apply to the application so that I can use data from Weather Kit in my algorithm ?
When I create a tab group for the sidebar on iPad, the title and disclosure triangle act like a single control. Every time I tap the section title, the disclosure triangle for that section activates and hides or exposes that section's children and actions.
I want the section title to behave like Photos, where tapping a section title just displays its view controller, and the disclosure triangle is a separate control that must be tapped to hide and show children and actions.
I did not see any delegate methods that would let me control this behavior. Is this supported?
Hello,
You are developing iOS 26. I hope you will fix the issue where the AṀ/PM is missing from the Time Display.
Thanks
Hi everyone 👋
I’ve been using the Apple Pencil Pro with my iPad Pro M4 and absolutely love it — the squeeze gesture, rotation, and haptics are amazing for creative work. But I’ve run into a little roadblock…
Right now, only one Pencil Pro can be paired at a time. So while one is charging, you can’t use another as a backup without unpairing and re-pairing, which interrupts the workflow.
I’d really love to see one of two things:
The ability to use one Pencil while another charges
or
An official external charger (or support for third-party ones)
Personally, I’d happily buy both a second Pencil and a charger if this became possible. I’ve even chatted with other creatives who feel the same — it would make a huge difference for long projects or working on the go.
Just wanted to share this idea and see if anyone else here would like this too. Thanks for reading!
