I have the June 2025 version, but I'd like to find the 2022. There was something removed from the 2022 that I would like to check out.

I’m working on a SwiftUI sheet that has a specific size 624 x 746, but I’m running into issues on certain devices like the iPad mini in landscape or when using Stage Manager. The sheet sometimes gets cut off, and the content inside isn’t fully visible.
Current Implementation:
The sheet is 624 x 746, but if there's less width or height around the sheet, I want it to scale dynamically while maintaining the aspect ratio (to ensure the content can always be shown)
Ideally, I’d love for the sheet to increase in size on larger screens to cover more of the page behind it.
The sheet contains a NavigationStack with multiple pages.
Problems I’m Facing:
iPad mini (landscape): The bottom content (like buttons) gets cut off when the sheet height is constrained.
Stage Manager: If the user resizes the window, the sheet doesn’t adjust properly, leading to UI clipping.
Ideal behavior: I want the sheet to dynamically scale its width and height while maintaining the aspect ratio.
Questions
How can I prevent content from being cut off when using the sheet in iPad mini landscape?
Is there a better approach to handle Stage Manager resizing dynamically?
Any insights or alternative approaches would be greatly appreciated! 🚀
Also, I’m a designer, and I’m doing this to help our development team—so please bear with my code 😅
Thanks in advance! 😊
I’m developing an app that includes a navigation bar with a centered title and a single right bar button item. I’ve noticed that when both the navigation bar title and the right bar button item’s title are relatively long, the navigation bar title becomes hidden.
This issue only occurs on iOS 26. When running the same code on iOS 18, the layout behaves as expected, with both elements visible.
Has anyone else experienced this behavior on iOS 26? Is this a known layout change or a possible bug?
I'm looking for a way to display a notification badge without showing a number—essentially, just an empty badge to indicate the presence of notifications. From my research, it seems like this functionality isn't available . Is there any workaround or method to achieve this?

Hello,
I recently submitted my app to the Apple Store and received a rejection under Guideline 4.3(a) - Design - Spam, stating that my app is similar to others on the store. However, my app has a unique feature set, offers more functionality and content than competitors, and is completely free with ad monetization, unlike most similar apps that require subscriptions.
I have spent five months developing this app from scratch, ensuring it provides an original and valuable experience for users. I did not use an app template or repackaged code, and my app is not a reskinned version of any existing app. I genuinely believe it brings meaningful differentiation to the market.
I would appreciate any guidance on how I can better communicate my app’s uniqueness to the review team or what specific aspects I should adjust to comply with Apple's guidelines.
Thank you for your time and support.
I have a subscription group with two individual subscriptions configured but when trying to load the SubscriptionStoreView I get the error:
"Subscription Unavailable: The subscription is unavailable in the current storefront."
When I try to load the ProductView, it appears to be stuck in a loading screen. I am running the app on a device that is signed into a sandbox account. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Dear Apple Innovation Team,
I have a game-changing iPhone concept and want Apple to explore it first.
📱 iPhone 18 – The First True Portless iPhone
No ports – MagSafe 2.0 with high-speed data transfer.
Under-display Face ID & Camera – No security compromise.
Seamless OLED Display – No interruptions, just pure screen.
📂 iPhone 20 – The Perfect Foldable
Crease-free foldable design – Apple perfects what others failed to.
Optimized iOS for foldables – Smooth UI & app integration.
Apple leads the foldable market.
🚀 Why This Matters: Apple can set a new standard & dominate both innovations.
Looking forward to your response.
Best,
Saksham Sethi
Hi,
It would be sure if Apple creates a Fgima plug in to convert designs to SwiftUI, no one can do it like Apple and it would be SUPER and super time saving !

ello there. I just installed IOS 26 on my iPhone 15 Pro Max. But i think i found a Bug with a Widget where you have an overview of all devices and their battery. In IOS 18 when we used the Dark Theme (Dark Icons etc.) this widget was dark aswell (look at the picture) and now in IOs everything is dark except this widget. Its kinda annoying…
Hello,
I have used CPPointOfInterestTemplate for displaying data and as user scrolls using the up/down arrow, I do not see any change in the map. Is there a way to highlight the POIs as the user scrolls through the list?
I need to use the map controls and zoom to check the markers on the map. Is it possible to set the zoom level of the map in CarPlay?
Pls suggest on the above queries
In Apple Vision Pro, I want to implement a HUD page similar to the one in Medivis' SuricalAR product (i.e. the UI is fixed on the screen field of view rather than in space). How should I do it?
Dear Developer, Is there a way to create a function to search with inside a text without having to be outside all of the messages? In other words, could I go into one of my contact’s texts and then search specifically inside that message as can be done on Android? This would be such an amazing function And make life so much easier. Thank you.
I have many Apple devices, such as macbook, iPad and iPhone. It's very convenient for me to transfer files between devices. However, when I want to send files to my own device in public places, I often click on the wrong recipient because the list avatar keeps changing. I hope the list of recipients can be grouped One group is my own device (or the one I often send to), and the other group is other devices. When the user is about to send, the mouse will be in a relatively fixed and mentally expected area. I feel that this can reduce the probability of sending wrongly
Hello Apple… used to love my phone and your company… not so much with this God awful new emoji update… Just why? They are giant, we can see them from Alaska, the whole Keyboard is not user friendly at all. It takes me (and reading the feedback from other people - Im not the only one with this problem) ages to find the one I want to use, even with the group icons on the bottom… no, they don’t help. I always ether miss type or just don’t use at all. It takes extra time to use emoji now so I completely stopped using it which sucks. It’s 2025 where time is precious and no one wants to spend extra seconds looking for emojis on this awful new layout you created. Apple developers used to be good about listing to users feedback, I hope you do it in this case, because this is just absolutely terrible and no, you can’t get used to it. I never write reviews anywhere and thought it would take a bit to get used to it… no no and no. This update is awful, please bring it back to normal size so we don’t waste our time and nerves. Thanks.
Hi everyone,
since updating to Xcode 26 Beta 3, I’m seeing some really strange behavior. I just changed the color of a Color asset in my SwiftUI view – literally just switched from one named color to another – and suddenly:
• Previews stopped working completely, with vague or no error messages.
• Even when I changed the color back to what it was before, the previews still refused to build.
• In addition, Xcode no longer restores the open tabs/windows when reopening the project. It just shows a blank editor every time I open it.
This all happened without touching any project settings or code structure – just a simple color swap.
Has anyone else run into this with Xcode 26 Beta 3?
Would love to know if it’s a known bug or if there’s a workaround (besides nuking Derived Data, which I’ve already tried).
Thanks!
I see the logo all over the internet, but the only Official logo I can find is the swift logo, the orange one, but the blue one I do not see a place to download it nor the usage guidelines. I have seen it on various Icon site like Icon8. I would like to use it on my reddit forum that is dedicated to SwiftUI but I want to be legal. Is it allowed to use and if so, where can you download the official verison?
Hi all,
I wanted to check whether the NFC bottom-sheet UI shown by iOS during an NFC reading session can be customized.
We have a Figma design (attached) for how the sheet should look, but we are not sure whether iOS allows modifying the default NFC UI.
Is UI customization supported, or is the bottom sheet fully controlled by the system?
Thanks in advance.
