Basic question - dice demo project - get all values / roll all
I'm sure this is a basic question, but I'm new to this style of development, so thought Id ask... I've worked through Apple's dice roller demo, so far so good - I'm using the code below to render and roll a single die; struct DieView: View { init(dieType: DieType) { self.dieValue = Int.random(in: 1...dieType.rawValue) self.dieType = dieType } @State private var dieValue: Int @State private var dieType: DieType var body: some View { VStack { if self.dieType == DieType.D6 { Image(systemName: "die.face.\(dieValue)") .resizable() .frame(width: 100, height: 100) .padding() } else { Text("\(self.dieValue)") .font(.largeTitle) } } Button("Roll"){ withAnimation{ dieValue = Int.random(in: 1...dieType.rawValue) } } .buttonStyle(.bordered) Spacer() } } Again, so far so good - works as I'd expect. I can now also add multiple DieViews to a DiceSetView and they display as I'd expect. Where I'm stuck is in the DiceSetView, I want to both determine the total score across the dice, and also offer the ability to Roll All the dice in a set. (Ultimately I want another level above the set, so I'll be looking to roll all dice in all sets) I can't simply call a func / method on the child view (i.e. iterate through them and sum their values, and roll each), I suspect I need to change how it's all structured, but not sure where to go from here... Can anyone point me in the right direction?

App Launchscreen Size NOT Correct on iPadOS 26
Hello, We’re seeing an iPad-specific Launch Screen issue related to multitasking window sizes. Environment Device: iPad (iPadOS 26) Device orientation: Landscape App is launched in a small window where the app window is portrait-shaped (width < height) Issue When the iPad is in landscape but the app is launched as a portrait-shaped small window, the LaunchScreen.storyboard appears to be rendered/layouted as landscape, not matching the actual window geometry. As a result, the Launch Screen content is clipped / partially missing (we see blank/empty area at the bottom during launch). After the app finishes launching, our first view controller uses the correct window size and the UI looks fine — the problem is mainly during the Launch Screen phase. What we checked LaunchScreen.storyboard uses Auto Layout and is expected to adapt to screen/window size. This only reproduces when the device orientation and the app window aspect ratio don’t match (landscape device + portrait-shaped app window, or vice versa). When device orientation and window shape are aligned, the Launch Screen displays correctly. Question Is it expected that iPadOS renders LaunchScreen.storyboard based on the interface orientation / size class rather than the actual window bounds in multitasking scenarios? If not expected, what is the recommended way to ensure the Launch Screen matches the app’s actual window size/aspect ratio at launch (without using code, since Launch Screen is static)? Are there any additional diagnostics or recommended steps to help us investigate and confirm the root cause (e.g., specific logs, APIs/values to capture at launch such as UIWindowScene bounds, interfaceOrientation, size classes, or any guidance on how Launch Screen snapshots are chosen/cached in multitasking)? Thank you.

Showing 3D/AR content on multiple pages in iOS with RealityView
Hi. I'm trying to show 3D or AR content in multiple pages on an iOS app but I have found that if a RealityView is used earlier in a flow then future uses will never display the camera feed, even if those earlier uses do not use any spatial tracking. For example, in the following simplified view, the second page realityView will not display the camera feed even though the first view does not use it not start a tracking session. struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { NavigationStack { VStack { RealityView { content in content.camera = .virtual // showing model skipped for brevity } NavigationLink("Second Page") { RealityView { content in content.camera = .spatialTracking } } } } } } What is the way around this so that 3D content can be displayed in multiple places in the app without preventing AR content from working? I have also found the same problem when wrapping an ARView for use in SwiftUI.

Pair iOS Central with MacOS Peripheral for encrypted characteristic
Is this even possible? Instead of any pairing dialog appearing, my central code get the "Authentication is insufficient" error when reading the characteristic. My peripheral (in the macOS app) code uses the .notifyEncryptionRequired property and uses .readEncryptionRequired and .writeEncryptionRequired permissions. No descriptors are set, but I think they get added automatically since this characteristic notifies. 2900 and 2902 descriptors are set by the peripheral/CoreBluetooth. If the Mac and iPhone are using the same Apple ID does that affect pairing?

FamilyControls on Mac Catalyst — can’t authorize due to sandbox; does this make ManagedSettings/DeviceActivity unusable?
Hi DTS / Apple engineers, We’re attempting to extending our screen time app target to Mac Catalyst. On iOS, FamilyControls works as expected (AuthorizationCenter + FamilyActivityPicker, then ManagedSettings shields + DeviceActivity monitoring/reporting). On Mac Catalyst: The project builds with FamilyControls/DeviceActivity/ManagedSettings capabilities enabled. But attempting to request FamilyControls authorization (or present FamilyActivityPicker) fails at runtime. We see errors similar to: Failed to get service proxy: The connection to service named com.apple.FamilyControlsAgent was invalidated: failed at lookup with error 159 - Sandbox restriction. And our app stays authorizationStatus == .notDetermined, with the request failing. We saw an Apple engineer suggestion to “disable App Sandbox”, but Mac Catalyst apps appear to always be sandboxed, so we can’t disable it. Questions: Is FamilyControls authorization supported on Mac Catalyst today? If so, what entitlement/capability is required specifically for Catalyst/macOS? If FamilyControls auth cannot succeed on Catalyst, does that mean ManagedSettings shields and DeviceActivity monitoring/reporting are effectively unusable on Catalyst (since they depend on that authorization)? Is there an Apple‑recommended approach for a Catalyst “portal” app that mirrors an iOS child device’s restrictions, or is local enforcement on Catalyst intentionally unsupported? Any guidance (and any official docs that clarify current platform support) would be hugely appreciated.

How do I control a SwiftUI TextField with a game controller?
I've coded a text-adventure game in SwiftUI. (My game has no graphics or sound effects.) My app already supports keyboard navigation; I would like to add support for game controllers on iPhone. I can't figure out how to do it. I especially can't see any way to allow controller users to enter text in a TextField. I've read https://developer.apple.com/documentation/gamecontroller/supporting-game-controllers and it's all about button events. There's no reference to SwiftUI at all in that documentation, or any input-method editing at all. The only mention of "keyboard" is about treating the keyboard itself as if it were a game controller providing button events. How do I implement this?

My iPhone will not charge from my Mac Mini
I recently replaced my older Macbook with a Mac Mini. My iphone charges fine from a powered USB hub, but when I connect the hub to my new Mac Mini, my phone stops charging. This is the same phone, hub, and cables that worked just fine with my Macbook. I M running Beta 26.3, but the MacBook was also on Beta 26. Anyone have any ideas?

.edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.vertical) combined with .tabViewStyle(.page(indexDisplayMode: .never)) causes "Out of Bounds" layout in Xcode 26 / iOS 26 SDK
I am reporting a regression/behavioral change in the SwiftUI layout engine when building with Xcode 26 (iOS 26 SDK). In previous versions (Xcode 15/16 and iOS 17/18 SDKs), a TabView using .tabViewStyle(.page(indexDisplayMode: .never)) correctly respected the coordinate space when combined with .edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.vertical). However, when compiling with the iOS 26 SDK, the internal views of the TabView render "out of bounds," pushing content vertically beyond the intended safe area boundaries and causing UI overlapping/clipping - an abnormal behavior. TabView(selection: $selectedIndex) { ForEach(0..<data.count, id: \.self) { index in nextPreviousHandlerView(id: data[index]) .tag(index) } } .tabViewStyle(.page(indexDisplayMode: .never)) .edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.vertical) // Causes vertical "jump" out of bounds in Xcode 26

Sharing IAPs between apps
I have had an App (AngelNav) available on the App Store since 2023 which was written for iOS v15.0 or later. I am working on a new version which has the same functionality, but a radically new interface as well as taking advantage of the latest features in SwiftUI. I am writing it from the bottom up for iOS26 to ensure a clean codebase to ease maintenance. As I understand it I have the following options: Issue an update to the existing app. This is easy to do but creates a problem for those users with iOS26 who prefer the old interface. In addition I can't see a way to implement bug fixes for previous versions Create a new app (AngelNavNeo). This would allow users with iOS26 who prefer the old interface to stick with it, and I can issue bug fixes on the old version. However, there is no way to share already purchased in-app purchases between versions without a server-side solution and the need for user accounts on my server (neither of which I want to do). Is my understanding is correct, and have I missed anything?

Password AutoFill BUG
When using the Password AutoFill feature, after entering a password and navigating to another page, a system prompt appears asking whether to save the password to the keychain (as shown in the figure). If this prompt is not dismissed and the app is moved to the background, then brought back to the foreground, the prompt automatically disappears. However, after this occurs, all input fields within the app become unresponsive to keyboard input—no keyboard will appear when tapping any text field. The only way to restore keyboard functionality is to force-quit the app and relaunch it. How can this issue be resolved?

No response from Apple Developer Support since 25 January (Email & Call both not working)
Hello, I am writing here to seek guidance regarding an ongoing issue with Apple Developer Support, as I have not received any response through any official support channel. Since 25 January, I have: Raised multiple support tickets and emails via App Store Connect Tried to contact Apple Developer Support by call (the call option is visible in my account) Scheduled/requested calls where applicable However: No email responses have been received No calls are coming through, even after requesting/scheduling There has been no acknowledgement or update on my issue Due to this, my issue remains completely unresolved, and I currently have no way to follow up or escalate. I would like clarification on the following: Why there has been no response since 25 January, despite multiple attempts Why the call option is visible but no call is received What is the correct escalation process when both email and call support are unresponsive Whether there is an expected response timeline for such cases My intention is not to raise a complaint, but to understand how I can properly communicate with Apple Developer Support and receive guidance on my issue. If any Apple representative or developer who has experienced a similar situation can provide direction, it would be highly appreciated. Thank you for your time and support.

Spatial Audio on Mac - When and how to render using Audio Units?
I'm working on adding Spatial Audio support to a game on the Mac. I'm looking at the SpatialAudioRenderer sample but having some issues. It's unclear to me when a device is compatible with Spatial Audio and when I should attempt to render Spatial Audio. There is no property that I can find on the Mac that advertises Spatial Audio compatibility on a device. The sample crashes when the output device is a USB device. This includes the Apple Studio Display. The Apple Studio Display is supposed to be capable of rendering Spatial Audio. The device doesn't work with the sample - do I still need to render down the 7.1.4 source on this device? The sample always renders down to Stereo, but the Apple Studio Display is not a Stereo device. I'm a bit confused by the sample and when/how I should configure the mixing unit.

Built in ssh-add doesn't read ~/.ssh/config
I'm trying to authenticate to a git host using SSH keys stored in 1Password. I have ~/.ssh/config with mode 600 set with a symlink: Host * IdentityAgent "~/.1password/agent.sock" But ssh-add -l shows no identities. If I set $SSH_AUTH_SOCK, ssh-add -l works just fine. I'd love to not have to do this, though. Why doesn't ssh-add seem to read ~/.ssh/config? The built-in version is OpenSSH_10.0p2, LibreSSL 3.3.6. I've searched fruitlessly for an answer anywhere else.

Cloud signing: Validation failed (409) Invalid Signature. Code failed to satisfy specified code requirement(s)
I'm attempting to use Cloud Signing to export the Release version of 3 different apps for App Store, as described in https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2021/10204/ The process completes successfully, and appears to be signed correctly, with a newly-created certificate in the developer portal of type "Distribution Managed". When I upload to App Store Connect however, I see the following error for several third-party Swift packages, distributed as frameworks: Validation failed (409) Invalid Signature. Code failed to satisfy specified code requirement(s). The file at path “MyApp.app/Frameworks/MyFramework.framework/MyFramework” is not properly signed. Make sure you have signed your application with a distribution certificate, not an ad hoc certificate or a development certificate. Verify that the code signing settings in Xcode are correct at the target level (which override any values at the project level). Additionally, make sure the bundle you are uploading was built using a Release target in Xcode, not a Simulator target. If you are certain your code signing settings are correct, choose “Clean All” in Xcode, delete the “build” directory in the Finder, and rebuild your release target. For more information, please consult https://developer.apple.com/support/code-signing. If I have a manually created Distribution certificate installed in the keychain at the point of export, the same archive is signed with that certificate, and is accepted by App Store Connect without issue. The xcodebuild command I am using (roughly): xcodebuild -exportArchive \ -archivePath "$ARCHIVE_PATH" \ -exportPath "$EXPORT_PATH" \ -exportOptionsPlist "$EXPORT_OPTIONS" \ -authenticationKeyPath "$API_KEY" \ -authenticationKeyID "$API_KEY_ID" \ -authenticationKeyIssuerID "$API_KEY_ISSUER" \ -allowProvisioningUpdates The plist: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "<http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd>"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>method</key> <string>app-store-connect</string> <key>teamID</key> <string>$TEAM</string> <key>uploadSymbols</key> <true/> <key>signingStyle</key> <string>automatic</string> </dict> </plist> Is what I’m trying to do supported? Is this a bug?

Is iPhone Mirroring really doing Mirroring?
Understand other technologies or app doing mirroring will have 2 screens active at the same time. But for Apple iPhone Mirroring is showing only 1 screen at a time and with other protection of same Apple ID, Bluetooth and Wifi for proximity checks. Hence, it is really considered a iPhone Mirroring? https://support.apple.com/en-sg/120421

"Show on all spaces" toggles OFF after programmatically setting wallpaper via AppleScript
I'm building an automated wallpaper updater that fetches images from an API and sets them as desktop wallpaper on macOS Tahoe. The automation uses AppleScript combined with database manipulation to ensure wallpaper applies to all spaces. Current implementation (via Apple Shortcuts): wallpaper_path="$1" osascript -e "tell application \"System Events\" to tell every desktop to set picture to POSIX file \"$wallpaper_path\"" sqlite3 ~/Library/Application\ Support/Dock/desktoppicture.db "UPDATE data SET space=NULL WHERE space IS NOT NULL;" 2>/dev/null killall -HUP Dock Issue First run: Works perfectly - sets wallpaper on all spaces/desktops, "Show on all spaces" is ON After first run: "Show on all spaces" automatically toggles OFF in System Settings Second run onwards: New wallpaper only updates on the active space, inactive spaces show old wallpaper Expected: "Show on all spaces" should remain ON after programmatic wallpaper changes Actual: System Settings automatically disables it, breaking subsequent updates Tested workarounds (all failed): UPDATE data SET space=NULL to clear per-space entries Using every desktop instead of current desktop in AppleScript killall Dock vs killall -HUP Dock vs killall -USR1 Dock Clearing space_id entries from pictures table Running DELETE FROM pictures WHERE space_id IS NOT NULL before setting The database manipulation doesn't prevent macOS from automatically creating per-space entries and disabling the "Show on all spaces" toggle. Question: Is there a way to programmatically set wallpaper while preserving the "Show on all spaces" setting on macOS Tahoe? Environment: macOS: Tahoe (latest) Architecture: Apple Silicon Use case: Daily automated wallpaper updates via Shortcuts
