At WWDC25 we launched a new type of Lab event for the developer community - Group Labs. A Group Lab is a panel Q&A designed for a large audience of developers. Group Labs are a unique opportunity for the community to submit questions directly to a panel of Apple engineers and designers. Here are the highlights from the WWDC25 Group Lab for UI Frameworks. How would you recommend developers start adopting the new design? Start by focusing on the foundational structural elements of your application, working from the "top down" or "bottom up" based on your application's hierarchy. These structural changes, like edge-to-edge content and updated navigation and controls, often require corresponding code modifications. As a first step, recompile your application with the new SDK to see what updates are automatically applied, especially if you've been using standard controls. Then, carefully analyze where the new design elements can be applied to your UI, paying particular attention to custom controls or UI that could benefit from a refresh. Address the large structural items first then focus on smaller details is recommended. Will we need to migrate our UI code to Swift and SwiftUI to adopt the new design? No, you will not need to migrate your UI code to Swift and SwiftUI to adopt the new design. The UI frameworks fully support the new design, allowing you to migrate your app with as little effort as possible, especially if you've been using standard controls. The goal is to make it easy to adopt the new design, regardless of your current UI framework, to achieve a cohesive look across the operating system. What was the reason for choosing Liquid Glass over frosted glass, as used in visionOS? The choice of Liquid Glass was driven by the desire to bring content to life. The see-through nature of Liquid Glass enhances this effect. The appearance of Liquid Glass adapts based on its size; larger glass elements look more frosted, which aligns with the design of visionOS, where everything feels larger and benefits from the frosted look. What are best practices for apps that use customized navigation bars? The new design emphasizes behavior and transitions as much as static appearance. Consider whether you truly need a custom navigation bar, or if the system-provided controls can meet your needs. Explore new APIs for subtitles and custom views in navigation bars, designed to support common use cases. If you still require a custom solution, ensure you're respecting safe areas using APIs like SwiftUI's safeAreaInset. When working with Liquid Glass, group related buttons in shared containers to maintain design consistency. Finally, mark glass containers as interactive. For branding, instead of coloring the navigation bar directly, consider incorporating branding colors into the content area behind the Liquid Glass controls. This creates a dynamic effect where the color is visible through the glass and moves with the content as the user scrolls. I want to know why new UI Framework APIs aren’t backward compatible, specifically in SwiftUI? It leads to code with lots of if-else statements. Existing APIs have been updated to work with the new design where possible, ensuring that apps using those APIs will adopt the new design and function on both older and newer operating systems. However, new APIs often depend on deep integration across the framework and graphics stack, making backward compatibility impractical. When using these new APIs, it's important to consider how they fit within the context of the latest OS. The use of if-else statements allows you to maintain compatibility with older systems while taking full advantage of the new APIs and design features on newer systems. If you are using new APIs, it likely means you are implementing something very specific to the new design language. Using conditional code allows you to intentionally create different code paths for the new design versus older operating systems. Prefer to use if #available where appropriate to intentionally adopt new design elements. Are there any Liquid Glass materials in iOS or macOS that are only available as part of dedicated components? Or are all those materials available through new UIKit and AppKit views? Yes, some variations of the Liquid Glass material are exclusively available through dedicated components like sliders, segmented controls, and tab bars. However, the "regular" and "clear" glass materials should satisfy most application requirements. If you encounter situations where these options are insufficient, please file feedback. If I were to create an app today, how should I design it to make it future proof using Liquid Glass? The best approach to future-proof your app is to utilize standard system controls and design your UI to align with the standard system look and feel. Using the framework-provided declarative API generally leads to easier adoption of future design changes, as you're expressing intent rather than specifying pixel-perfect visuals. Pay close attention to the design sessions offered this year, which cover the design motivation behind the Liquid Glass material and best practices for its use. Is it possible to implement your own sidebar on macOS without NSSplitViewController, but still provide the Liquid Glass appearance? While technically possible to create a custom sidebar that approximates the Liquid Glass appearance without using NSSplitViewController, it is not recommended. The system implementation of the sidebar involves significant unseen complexity, including interlayering with scroll edge effects and fullscreen behaviors. NSSplitViewController provides the necessary level of abstraction for the framework to handle these details correctly. Regarding the SceneDelagate and scene based life-cycle, I would like to confirm that AppDelegate is not going away. Also if the above is a correct understanding, is there any advice as to what should, and should not, be moved to the SceneDelegate? UIApplicationDelegate is not going away and still serves a purpose for application-level interactions with the system and managing scenes at a higher level. Move code related to your app's scene or UI into the UISceneDelegate. Remember that adopting scenes doesn't necessarily mean supporting multiple scenes; an app can be scene-based but still support only one scene. Refer to the tech note Migrating to the UIKit scene-based life cycle and the Make your UIKit app more flexible WWDC25 session for more information.

Here’s a recap of the Live Q&A for SwiftUI foundations: Build great apps with SwiftUI. If you participated and asked questions, thank you for coming and participating! If you weren’t able to join us live we hope this recap is useful Where can I watch the VOD? Is the sample code “Wishlist” that was shown available for download? You can view the replay of the entire event here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3vloOtZLkQ The sample code for the Wishlist app will be made available in the coming weeks on the Apple Developer website, we'll send an update via email when it is available. What are the best practices when it comes to building complex navigations in SwiftUI? The developer website has documentation on navigation style best practices. Explore navigation basics like NavigationStack and TabView to get a ground-up understanding. For documentation on navigation APIs see Navigation. How can I integrate UIKit with my SwiftUI app? What about adding SwiftUI into my UIKit app? See UIKit integration: Add UIKit views to your SwiftUI app, or use SwiftUI views in your UIKit app. Both UIKit and SwiftUI provide API to show a view hierarchy of the other. For UIKit to SwiftUI, you would use UIViewControllerRepresentable. For SwiftUI to UIKit, you would use UIHostingController. Landmarks: Interfacing with UIKit walks you through step by step how to implement UIKit in SwiftUI with UIViewControllerRepresentable, and this WWDC22 video demonstrates UIHostingController, for those that want to add SwiftUI to their UIKit. Does Wishlist feature a new iOS 26 font? How can I add custom fonts and text of my app? We’re glad to hear many of you liked wide text shown in Wishlist, however, It is the default system font with some light SwiftUI styling! Check it out for yourself in the sample code when made available, and you can learn more about customizing fonts and text by seeing Font and Applying custom fonts to text. Does Xcode have a dependency graph we can use to optimize our SwiftUI Views? Xcode comes with Instruments. Instruments is the best way to figure out what is causing excessive updates and other issues with performance. That link provides direct tutorials and resources for how to use and understand. Previews also have many useful tools for analyzing SwiftUI views, for more info see Previews in Xcode Check out this video from our latest WWDC Optimize SwiftUI performance with Instruments for information on how to use Instruments to profile and optimize your app with real-world applications If you still have questions, Check out the Instruments section of these forums and create a post so the community has the opportunity to help guide you. Are there UI debugging tools to help diagnose layout issues? Yes, Xcode also features a View Debugger located by selecting the View Debug Hierarchy, pictured below. Use the View Debugger to capture and inspect your view hierarchy, identifying which views affect window sizing. The SwiftUI Inspector also lets you examine view frames and layout behavior. See Diagnosing issues in the appearance of a running app to learn about debugging visual and layout issues. As an absolute beginner, what would be the first go-to step to go for training? Do I need prior knowledge of frameworks to get started with SwiftUI? A great place to learn how to develop for Apple platforms is with Pathways! Many developers start with Develop in Swift tutorials, which exposes you to several frameworks while teaching you the basics of SwiftUI. When you're ready to take your learning further, you can read the documentation for the specific frameworks that interest you at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/.

In this Mac App, I have an IBOutlet (which is defined as instance of a subclass of NSView). When I connect the IBOutlet to the code, referencing as file's owner, it works OK. But if I reference to the class, it crashes, when I access a specific IBOutlet (but other IBOutlets are accessed just before it without crashing).. The IBOutlet turnPageControl is defined as instance of subclass of NSView. Note: I have implemented several init methods: override init(window: NSWindow!) { } required init?(coder: (NSCoder?)) { } // Yes, (NSCoder?) convenience init(parameters) { // loading from nib } override func windowDidLoad() { super.windowDidLoad() // Access turnpageControl I get those calls before crash: init(window:) init(parameters:) init(window:) windowDidLoad() -> crash inside on accessing the IBOutlet for turnPageControl.isHidden = true Is there any reason to this ?

In this code, I use in some places required init?(coder: (NSCoder?)) { // Init some properties super.init(coder: coder!) } And in other places required init?(coder: NSCoder) { super.init(coder: coder) // Init some properties } Both seem to work. Is there a preferred one ? In which cases ? Or should I always use the second one ? And can super be called at anytime ?

1ada58e6-51b3-4cc5-98a3-31c8d1597de5.crash We are experiencing a segmentation fault crash when running our tests on AWS Device Farm. This crash only happens on iOS 18 and does not happen on iOS 26 also running on device farm. We have not been able to replicate this crash locally and we have not seen this in any of our production app usage. It appears there is some memory corruption going on and the trace always seems to crash inside Apple's UIKit code with -[UIImageSymbolConfiguration _initWithTraitCollection:]. I also see the following in the logs from CI: [TraitCollection] Class CKBrowserSwitcherViewController overrides the -traitCollection getter, which is not supported. If you're trying to override traits, you must use the appropriate API. We are not overriding traitCollection getter anywhere in our code and we have no usage of CKBrowserSwitcherViewController either. This crash happens when trying to go through the login flow to our app when KIF hits the login button. I have tried debugging with Zombies and the memory graph debugger but nothing is sticking out as to what would be causing this issue. When running locally with Zombies I do not get any memory warnings going through our login flow. Could this be a bug inside of UIKit on iOS18 which is getting exposed due to timing on AWS? Any help with next debugging steps would be appreciated.

Environment: Xcode 26.2 Simulator: 26.0 / iPhone 17 Summary: Assigning a specific Unicode string to a UILabel (or any UITextView / text component backed by CoreText) causes an immediate crash. The string contains a visible base character followed by a zero-width non-joiner and two combining marks. let label = UILabel() label.text = "\u{274D}\u{200C}\u{1CD7}\u{20DB}" // ^ Crash in CoreText during text layout Crash stack trace: The crash occurs inside CoreText's glyph layout/shaping pipeline. The combining marks U+1CD7 and U+20DB appear to stack on the ZWNJ (which has no visible glyph), causing CoreText to fail during run shaping or bounding box calculation. Questions: Is this a known CoreText regression in the iOS 26.0 simulator? Is there a recommended fix or a more targeted workaround beyond stripping zero-width Unicode characters? Will this be addressed in an upcoming update

Hi, I have two views in my view hierarchy searchButtonView and searchBarView. I am trying to fade out the searchButtonView while animating the change in the frame of searchBarView simultaneously within a UIView.animate block. However, when I run the app, the frame of searchBarView resizes correctly while the alpha of searchButtonView does not animate to 0 as expected. How can I fix this so that both view animate simultaneously? Please see my code below. Thank you class MovieTitlesViewController: UIViewController { override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() // Do any additional setup after loading the view. } var searchButtonView: UIView! var searchBarView: UIView! override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() { createSearchButtonView() createSearchBarView() } func createSearchButtonView() { searchButtonView = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 23, y: view.safeAreaInsets.top, width: 48, height: 48)) let searchImageView = UIImageView(image: UIImage(named: "Search Icon")!) searchImageView.frame = CGRect(x: searchButtonView.frame.width / 2 - 16, y: searchButtonView.frame.height / 2 - 16, width: 32, height: 32) searchButtonView.addSubview(searchImageView) searchButtonView.backgroundColor = .blue searchButtonView.layer.cornerRadius = 24 searchButtonView.layer.borderColor = UIColor.gray.cgColor searchButtonView.layer.borderWidth = 0.5 let tapGesture = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(tappedSearchView)) tapGesture.numberOfTapsRequired = 1 searchButtonView.addGestureRecognizer(tapGesture) searchButtonView.isUserInteractionEnabled = true view.addSubview(searchButtonView) } func createSearchBarView() { searchBarView = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 23, y: view.safeAreaInsets.top, width: 0, height: 48)) searchBarView.backgroundColor = .red // searchBarView.backgroundColor = UIColor(red: 217/255, green: 217/255, blue: 217/255, alpha: 1.0) searchBarView.layer.cornerRadius = 24 searchBarView.layer.borderColor = UIColor.gray.cgColor searchBarView.layer.borderWidth = 0.5 view.addSubview(searchBarView) } func animateExpandSearchView() { UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.25, delay: 0.0, options: .curveEaseInOut) { self.searchButtonView.alpha = 0.0 self.searchBarView.frame = CGRect(x: 23, y: self.view.safeAreaInsets.top, width: UIScreen.main.bounds.width - 46, height: 48) } } @objc func tappedSearchView() { print("tapped search view") animateExpandSearchView() } }

FeedBack Id: FB22031397 (Demo proj Attached to Feedback) Description: When a TabView using .page tabViewStyle is placed inside a sheet configured with multiple presentationDetents, dragging the sheet handle to resize between detents causes the TabView to re-render all its pages on every frame of the drag gesture. This results in visible content vibration, scroll position jumping, and tab content flashing during the drag. The issue is fully reproducible with the attached minimal demo project. Steps to Reproduce: Run the attached TabViewSheetVibrationDemo.swift on any iOS device or simulator Tap "Open Sheet" on the main screen Swipe left to any tab Scroll down inside the tab so content is not at the top Grab the sheet drag indicator at the top and slowly drag upward or downward to resize between medium and large detent Observe the tab content while dragging Expected Results: The TabView page content should remain completely stable during sheet resize. Scroll positions should be preserved and no re-rendering should occur because the underlying data has not changed. The sheet should resize smoothly while tab content stays still. Actual Results: The TabView re-renders all pages on every frame of the drag gesture. This causes: Visible content vibration and jitter while dragging the sheet handle Scroll position jumping back toward the top mid-drag Tab content flashing as pages are recreated The problem is proportional to drag speed — slower drags show a stuttering effect, faster drags cause a full content flash Configuration: All Xcode including beta iOS 26 (also reproduced on iOS 16, iOS 17 and iOS 18) Reproducible on both Simulator and real device Affects iPhone and iPad

There appears to be a bug in Link with IPv4 addresses with padding in the second octet, on macOS and iOS both. struct LinkViewBug: View { let works = URL(string: "http://172.16.1.1")! let alsoWorks = URL(string: "http://172.16.001.001")! let doesntWork = URL(string: "http://172.016.001.001")! let alsoDoesntWork = URL(string: "http://172.016.1.1")! var body: some View { // destination -> http://172.16.1.1 Link(works.formatted(), destination: works) Link(alsoWorks.formatted(), destination: alsoWorks) // destination -> http://172.14.1.1 ? Link(doesntWork.formatted(), destination: doesntWork) Link(alsoDoesntWork.formatted(), destination: alsoDoesntWork) } }

In macOS 26, there is a new property on NSControl called .borderShape. The WWDC 2025-310 video says it can be used to "Override preferred shape of control to suit your design." and that it's available on NSButton, NSPopUpButton and NSSegmentedControl. Is there an equivalent to that property for SwiftUI? For example, given the following SwiftUI code: Button("Eject") { } .borderShape(...) <-- ? How can I apply a .borderShape that would match those on controls created in AppKit? I'm aware that SwiftUI offers a plethora of ways to custom design a button such that it can have rounded corners, but I'm interested in this particular property so that SwiftUI buttons and AppKit buttons in the same app have the same look-and-feel.

I have three custom UIButton instances inside a custom UIView subclass (not inside a UINavigationBar, UIToolbar, or UITabBar). I want to apply UIGlassEffect with interactive = YES to each button so they get the native liquid glass press animation. The problem is that the UIVisualEffectView containing the effect either: Has userInteractionEnabled = YES — glass animation works but the button's IBAction never fires Has userInteractionEnabled = NO — IBAction fires but no glass animation How can I have both the native interactive glass animation and the button action firing on the same button? Is this possible with the public API, or is the interactive glass animation on custom buttons simply not supported outside of standard UIKit controls?

Hi, In Apple Music on CarPlay, there is a Search button shown next to the Now Playing (NPS) button in the top navigation bar. Tapping this Search button activates Siri voice search. I want to understand: Does CarPlay allow third-party audio apps to add a similar Search button in the top bar (next to the Now Playing button)? Which can be used to trigger Siri from the screen UI (not steering-wheel button or “Hey Siri”)? Is there any supported approach for screen-based Siri activation other than the guidance here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/carplay/cplisttemplate#Integrating-Siri-Into-Your-Template-App Basically, is the Apple Music search/Siri button a publicly available CarPlay capability, or is it system-reserved?

I am reporting a reproducible performance issue in iOS 18.6 where synchronizing the scroll position of two Chart views via chartScrollPosition(id:) causes a complete redraw loop when custom AxisMarks are used. This occurs even when the axis marks are technically "hidden," leading to significant frame drops and stuttering on modern hardware like the iPhone 15. Environment Device: iPhone 15 OS: iOS 18.6 (22G86) Frameworks: SwiftUI, Swift Charts, Observation The Issue When using a shared @Observable state to sync two charts, the scrolling is fluid only if the axes are at their default settings. As soon as a custom AxisMarks block is added to either chart, the following behavior is observed: Diffing Failure: The framework appears unable to maintain the identity of the axis components during the scroll update. Redraw Loop: Instead of an incremental scroll translation, the diffing algorithm triggers a full reload/re-render of both charts on every scroll offset change. Impact: CPU spikes to 100% and the UI becomes unresponsive. This happens even if the custom AxisMarks is used solely to hide the axis (e.g., AxisMarks { _ in }), suggesting the issue is with the custom declaration itself rather than the complexity of the marks being rendered. Steps to Reproduce Create two Chart views in a VStack. Bind both to a single @Observable property using .chartScrollPosition(id: $state.pos). Add any .chartXAxis { AxisMarks(...) { ... } } modifier. Scroll either chart; observe the stuttering. import SwiftUI import Charts import Observation @Observable class ChartState { var scrollPos: Date = .now } struct PerformanceBugView: View { @State private var state = ChartState() var body: some View { VStack { Chart(data) { ... } .chartScrollPosition(id: $state.scrollPos) .chartXAxis { // This custom mark triggers the performance issue AxisMarks { _ in AxisValueLabel() } } Chart(data) { ... } .chartScrollPosition(id: $state.scrollPos) } } } Questions for the Community/Apple Engineers: Is there a way to provide a stable identifier to AxisMarks to prevent them from being treated as "new" during a scroll update? Why does even an empty AxisMarks block (used for hiding) trigger a layout invalidation that standard axes do not? Are there internal optimizations for chartScrollPosition that are bypassed when the axis layout is customized?

My app is a UIKit app with a lot of SwiftUI mixed in. A common scenario is that a UIViewController presents a sheet with a SwiftUI view wrapped in a UIHostingController. When I present the exact same SwiftUI View it looks different in a SwiftUI sheet compared to when it's wrapped in a UIHostingController and presented from a view controller. I'm using a hacky workaround in which I loop through all subviews of the hosting controller in viewWillLayoutSubviews and look for a NavigationStackHostingController<SwiftUI.AnyView> to manually set the background color, but it feels like it could brake easily. Has anyone found a better way to fix this? Feedback: FB22028838

On macOS 26.3, Xcode 26.3, why does a labelStyle of titleAndIcon not show both the title and the icon of a label? The label styles iconOnly and titleOnly behave as expected. Picker("Label Demo", selection: $selectedItem) { Label { Text("File") } icon: { Image(systemName: "doc") } Label { Text("Folder") } icon: { Image(systemName: "folder") } } .labelStyle(.titleAndIcon) .pickerStyle(.segmented) Note that there is no icon shown. Placing the .labelStyle modifier in different places has no effect. The icon is correctly shown when the labelStyle is set to .iconOnly. An NSSegmentedControl created with AppKit and presented in an NSViewRepresentable does correctly show titles and icons if configured appropriately. Tested on: macOS 26.3 (25D125) Xcode 26.3 (17C519) A brand new SwiftUI "macOS App" project.

To display rows and columns of data in a nice layout like a spreadsheet I use a table like the code here .. Table(array) { TableColumn("Ticker", value: \\.ticker) TableColumn("Other", value: \.other) } To delete a row from the table the advice is to use a ForEach loop. Since I don’t use a ForEach loop, how do I delete rows from the table ? With this code there is no way to attach a .onDelete modifier or a Button Any advice would be much appreciated Thank you

When making an element with .glassEffect(.clear.interactive()) draggable, it stretches as it moves. It seems like it's meant to stretch as you move your finger away from the element, but it doesn't make sense if the element is following your finger as you drag it. Is this a bug, or is there a way to disable this behavior without removing the other "interactive" animations? P.S. The shiny border around the elements seems to be a rounded rectangle or capsule, but the actual element's shape seems to be stretched. That also appears to be a bug.

I'm building a macOS app that uses WKWebView for text editing (not NSTextView). I need to provide grammar checking by calling NSSpellChecker programmatically and sending results back to the web editor. The problem: TextEdit (which uses NSTextView) catches grammar errors like "Can I has pie?" and "These are have" — but when I call NSSpellChecker's APIs directly, those same errors are never flagged. I've tried both APIs: 1. The unified check() API: let results = checker.check( text, range: range, types: NSTextCheckingAllTypes, options: [:], inSpellDocumentWithTag: tag, orthography: &orthography, wordCount: &wordCount) This returns only .orthography results (language detection). No .spelling, no .grammar — just orthography. 2. The dedicated checkGrammar(of:startingAt:...) API: let sentenceRange = checker.checkGrammar( of: text, startingAt: offset, language: nil, wrap: false, inSpellDocumentWithTag: tag, details: &details) This catches sentence fragments ("The.", "No.") and some agreement errors ("The is anyone.") but misses "Can I has pie?", "These are have", "This will be happened", and other subject-verb agreement errors that TextEdit highlights. What I've confirmed: "Check Grammar With Spelling" is enabled in System Settings TextEdit reliably catches all these errors with green underlines Both APIs are called with a valid spellDocumentTag from uniqueSpellDocumentTag() The text is passed as plain strings (no attributed string context) My question: How does NSTextView's grammar checking work internally? It must be using something beyond these two public APIs. Possibilities I'm considering: Does NSTextView use the NSTextCheckingClient protocol / requestChecking(of:range:types:options:) for asynchronous checking that produces different results? Does NSTextView provide additional context (attributed string, layout info) that improves grammar detection? Is there a private/undocumented API or framework that NSTextView uses for deeper grammar analysis? Any insight from anyone who has implemented programmatic grammar checking on macOS would be appreciated. NOTE: This post was composed with the help of Claude Code, which I am using to help write a word-processing application, but I am frustrated because Claude Code wants to give up and switch to a 3rd party grammar checker, like LanguageTool, and it seems to me that it should be possible to use native Apple tools to achieve this goal without requiring the user to send their data elsewhere for checking. I've spent a lot of time searching the web for answers and have found surprisingly little on this. Any pointers people might have would be very much appreciated! Thanks.

I read some article that said for using Apple Intelligence as an integrated part of an app, instead of tacked on, MVVM and VIPER are not good fits. Would that be accurate? What other architectures could work better? (The author didn’t suggest any replacements.)

I'm experiencing consistent memory crashes in iOS 26.3 (23D127) when using @AppStorage with view transitions.

Feedback: FB############ (your number) Has anyone else experienced this? Is this a known issue in iOS 26?

I’ve encountered an aspect of the Liquid Glass effect in SwiftUI that seems a bit odd: the Liquid Glass interaction appears to ignore regular hit-testing behavior. The following sample shows a button with hit testing disabled: @main struct LiquidGlassHitTestDemo: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { Button("Liquid") { fatalError("Never called.") } .buttonStyle(.glassProminent) .allowsHitTesting(false) } } } As expected, the button’s action is never called. However, the interactive glass effect still responds to touch events: What’s even more surprising is that the UIKit equivalent behaves differently: final class ViewController: UIViewController { override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() let button = UIButton( configuration: .prominentGlass(), primaryAction: UIAction( title: "Liquid", handler: { action in print("Never called.") } ) ) view.addSubview(button) button.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false NSLayoutConstraint.activate([ button.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerXAnchor), button.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerYAnchor) ]) button.isUserInteractionEnabled = false } } In this case, the effect is not interactive at all. Similarly, if a UIViewController’s root view overrides hitTest(_:with:) to always return nil, the Liquid Glass effect does not react to touch events whatsoever. The only way I’ve found to “properly” disable the glass interactivity in SwiftUI is to use the .disabled(true) modifier. However, this also changes the button’s appearance, which is not always desirable. Is this expected behavior, or could this be a bug? Am I missing something about how Liquid Glass interaction is implemented in SwiftUI?

MacOS system settings allow the user to select one of a number of number formats. My app behaves differently depending on the format (taken from the system Locale), so I need to test every combination. Thus far I have been successful at creating Locale objects with various identifiers that map to the different formats, like: let westEuropeanLocale = Locale(identifier: "en_DE") However, I can't find a locale that maps to using . as a decimal point, and space as a thousands separator, even though it's a standard option (3rd in this list): Any suggestions on how to create a test for this number format?
