WKWebView missing page parts
Hi guys, I've been struggling for a few days with this really weird behaviour. We made an app for our e-commerce website and found out that a part of the product page is missing. For any reason, the header and first blocks of the page and footer are displayed, but then a massive part of the content is missing. This content is not loaded through ajax; that's why I don't understand why it's not displayed. You can see here 2 screenshots of what the page should look like and what the page looks like with WKWebView. I've been inspecting this with Safari; there isn't any blocking error in the console, and html elements are just empty. There is the div with class row and nothing in it. The same website is working perfectly with native Android Webview. If anyone has any clue to find out what's going wrong

Swift Concurrency: Calling @MainActor Function from Protocol Implementation in Swift 6
I have a Settings class that conform to the TestProtocol. From the function of the protocol I need to call the setString function and this function needs to be on the MainActor. Is there a way of make this work in Swift6, without making the protocol functions running on @MainActor The calls are as follows: class Settings: TestProtocol{ var value:String = "" @MainActor func setString( _ string:String ){ value = string } func passString(string: String) { Task{ await setString(string) } } } protocol TestProtocol{ func passString( string:String ) }

Can't use Link in .systemLarge widget
I just added a .systemLarge widget to my app, but I can't get Links to work. I want the user to be able to tap one of the four rows in my widget - like the EmojiRangers example - but I can't get it to work. I watched a Developer video from WWDC20: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2020/10036?time=223 The guy, Izzy, 'simply' embeds an HStack in a Link, and hey presto! It all works. But that doesn't happen for me. There's clearly some code in the background that runs. I already have .widgetURL working for .systemSmall and .systemMedium widgets, and I don't need to use Links on those two types. Those work by sending a URL to .onOpenURL { incomingURL in ... All good there, no issues. I've wrapped each row in the large widget in a Link with the URL of something like myappurlscheme://widgetTapped/widgetId (it's the same url as that used in the small and medium widgets). I build & run. I tap a row. It doesn't act as though a row is tappable (it doesn't go slightly transparent), and just opens the app without hitting .onOpenURL or anything else. Nothing in my scene delegate is triggered. Is there a specific delegate method that gets called? Do I need to set up some awful intents? I'm not using any sort of NavigationStack here; that model doesn't fit my app. Any ideas? Thanks.

Best way to measure days between dates
Hey team I'm facing an issue where startDate is 1 January 2025 and endDate is 31 March 2025 between this 2 dates is 90 days, but on my code is being taken as 89 days I've seen the math of the code excludes the first partial day (from midnight to 06:00) on 2025-01-01, which results in 89 full days instead of 90 days. startDate: 2025-01-01 06:00:00 +0000 endDate: 2025-03-31 06:00:00 +0000 this is my function func daysBetweenDates() -> Int? { guard let selectedStartDate = selectedStartDate?.date else { return nil } guard let selectedEndDate = selectedEndDate?.date else { return 0 } let calendar = Calendar.current let dateComponents = calendar.dateComponents([.day], from: selectedStartDate, to: selectedEndDate) return dateComponents.day } what I've tried is reset the hours to 0 so it can take the full day and return 90 days like this func daysBetweenDates() -> Int? { guard let selectedStartDate = selectedStartDate?.date else { return nil } guard let selectedEndDate = selectedEndDate?.date else { return 0 } var calendar = Calendar(identifier: .gregorian) calendar.timeZone = TimeZone(secondsFromGMT: 0) ?? .current let cleanMidNightStartDate = calendar.startOfDay(for: selectedStartDate) let cleanMidNightEndDate = calendar.startOfDay(for: selectedEndDate.addingTimeInterval(24 * 60 * 60)) let dateComponents = calendar.dateComponents([.day], from: cleanMidNightStartDate, to: cleanMidNightEndDate) let daysCount = dateComponents.day ?? 0 return daysCount } this worked for that date specifically but when I tried to change the date for example startDate: 18 December 2024. endDate: 18 March 2025. between those dates we have 90 days but this function now reads 91. what I'm looking is a cleaver solution for this problem so I can have the best posible quality code, thanks in advance!

Playing Timed Sound Effects in Background
Hi, I'm relatively new to iOS development and kindly ask for some feedback on a strategy to achieve this desired behavior in my app. My Question: What would be the best strategy for sound effect playback when an app is in the background with precise timing? Is this even possible? Context: I created a basic countdown timer app (targeting iOS 17 with Swift/SwiftUI.). Countdown sessions can last up to 30-60 mins. When the timer is started it progresses through a series of sub-intervals and plays a short sound for each one. I used AVAudioPlayer and everything works fine when the app is in the foreground. I'm considering switching to AVAudioEngine b/c precise timing is very important and the AIs tell me this would have better precision. I'm already setting "App plays audio or streams audio/video using AirPlay" in my Plist, and have configured: AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setCategory(.playback, mode: .default, options: .mixWithOthers) Curiously, when testing on my iPhone 13 mini, sounds sometimes still play when the app is in the background, but not always. What I've considered: Background Tasks: Would they make any sense for this use-case? Seems like not if the allowed time is short & limited by the system. Pre-scheduling all Sounds: Not sure this would even work and seems like a lot of memory would be needed (could be hundreds of intervals). ActivityKit Alerts: works but with a ~50ms delay which is too long for my purposes. Pre-Render all SFX to 1 large audio file: Seems like a lot of work and processing time and probably not worth it. I hope there's a better solution. I'd really appreciate any feedback.

Error `Type of expression is ambiguous without a type annotation` when trying to create a Task.
Hi, I've got this view model that will do a search using a database of keywords. It worked fine when the SearchEngine wasn't an actor but a regular class and the SearchResult wasn't a Sendable. But when I changed them, it returned Type of expression is ambiguous without a type annotation error at line 21 ( searchTask = Task {). What did I do wrong here? Thanks. protocol SearchableEngine: Actor { func searchOrSuggest(from query: String) -> SearchResult? func setValidTitles(_ validTitles: [String]) } @MainActor final class SearchViewModel: ObservableObject { @Published var showSuggestion: Bool = false @Published var searchedTitles: [String] = [] @Published var suggestedKeyword: String? = nil private var searchTask: Task<Void, Never>? private let searchEngine: SearchableEngine init(searchEngine: SearchableEngine) { self.searchEngine = searchEngine } func search(_ text: String) { searchTask?.cancel() searchTask = Task { guard !Task.isCancelled else { return } let searchResult = await searchEngine.searchOrSuggest(from: text) ?? .notFound guard !Task.isCancelled else { return } await MainActor.run { switch searchResult { case let .searchItems(_, items): showSuggestion = false searchedTitles = items.map(\.title) suggestedKeyword = nil case let .suggestion(keyword, _, items): showSuggestion = true searchedTitles = items.map(\.title) suggestedKeyword = keyword case .notFound: showSuggestion = false searchedTitles = [] suggestedKeyword = nil } } } } }

Integrating App Clips in .NET MAUI iOS APP
We have an iOS App built in .NET MAUI (Multi-platform App UI). This is a web view App. We wish to integrate APP Clips into this App. But we are unable to do it, due to less available resources online on such implementation. We do not wish to share code between .NET MAUI App and App clips We understand it is not possible to add APP Clips without a parent swift/Xcode app. As an alternative solution we were thinking to Create a new APP in APP Store Connect using XCode/swift and integrate app clips to it. This parent app when downloaded by users will only redirect users to our MAIN .NET MAUI app to app store connect. We need to know if such apps will be approved by APPSTORE Connect? Please guide us on this Also please do let us know if you have any other solution to integrate App clips to a .NET MAUI App

Hash Collision in Data type
I notice that Swift Data type's hashValue collision when first 80 byte of data and data length are same because of the Implementation only use first 80 bytes to compute the hash. https://web.archive.org/web/20120605052030/https://opensource.apple.com/source/CF/CF-635.21/CFData.c also, even if hash collision on the situation like this, I can check data is really equal or not by == does there any reason for this implementation(only use 80 byte of data to make hashValue)? test code is under below let dataArray: [UInt8] = [ 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 ] var dataArray1: [UInt8] = dataArray var dataArray2: [UInt8] = dataArray dataArray1.append(contentsOf: [0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00]) dataArray2.append(contentsOf: [0xff, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff]) let data1 = Data(dataArray1) let data2 = Data(dataArray2) // Only last 4 byte differs print(data1.hashValue) print(data2.hashValue) print(data1.hashValue == data2.hashValue) // true print(data1 == data2) // false

Swift/objC combined with Swift/C++ interop
Consider this Swift struct: public struct Example { public func foo(callback: ()->Void) { .... } public func blah(i: Int) { .... } .... } Using Swift/C++ interop, I can create Example objects and call methods like blah. But I can't call foo because Swift/C++ interop doesn't currently support passing closures (right?). On the other hand, Swift/objC does support passing objC blocks to Swift functions. But I can't use that here because Example is a Swift struct, not a class. So I could change it to a class, and update everything to work with reference rather than value semantics; but then I also have to change the objC++ code to create the object and call its methods using objC syntax. I'd like to avoid that. Is there some hack that I can use to make this possible? I'm hoping that I can wrap a C++ std::function in some sort of opaque wrapper and pass that to swift, or something. Thanks for any suggestions!

Issue with Swift 6 migration issues
We are migrating to swift 6 from swift 5 using Xcode 16.2. we are getting below errors in almost each of our source code files : Call to main actor-isolated initializer 'init(storyboard:bundle:)' in a synchronous non isolated context Main actor-isolated property 'delegate' can not be mutated from a nonisolated context Call to main actor-isolated instance method 'register(cell:)' in a synchronous nonisolated context Call to main actor-isolated instance method 'setup()' in a synchronous nonisolated context Few questions related to these compile errors. Some of our functions arguments have default value set but swift 6 does not allow to set any default values. This requires a lot of code changes throughout the project. This would be lot of source code re-write. Using annotations like @uncheck sendable , @Sendable on the class (Main actor) name, lot of functions within those classes , having inside some code which coming from other classes which also showing main thread issue even we using @uncheck sendable. There are so many compile errors, we are still seeing other than what we have listed here. Fixing these compile errors throughout our project, would be like a re-write of our whole application, which would take lot of time. In order for us to migrate efficiently, we have few questions where we need your help with. Below are the questions. Are there any ways we can bypass these errors using any keywords or any other way possible? Can Swift 5 and Swift 6 co-exist? so, we can slowly migrate over a period of time.

Implementing RawRepresentable for a DictionaryType has broken my Test target build. Not sure how to fix things...
For my app I've created a Dictionary that I want to persist using AppStorage In order to be able to do this, I added RawRepresentable conformance for my specific type of Dictionary. (see code below) typealias ScriptPickers = [Language: Bool] extension ScriptPickers: @retroactive RawRepresentable where Key == Language, Value == Bool { public init?(rawValue: String) { guard let data = rawValue.data(using: .utf8), let result = try? JSONDecoder().decode(ScriptPickers.self, from: data) else { return nil } self = result } public var rawValue: String { guard let data = try? JSONEncoder().encode(self), // data is Data type let result = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8) // coerce NSData to String else { return "{}" // empty Dictionary represented as String } return result } } public enum Language: String, Codable, { case en = "en" case fr = "fr" case ja = "ja" case ko = "ko" case hr = "hr" case de = "de" } This all works fine in my app, however trying to run any tests, the build fails with the following: Conflicting conformance of 'Dictionary<Key, Value>' to protocol 'RawRepresentable'; there cannot be more than one conformance, even with different conditional bounds But then when I comment out my RawRepresentable implementation, I get the following error when attempting to run tests: Value of type 'ScriptPickers' (aka 'Dictionary<Language, Bool>') has no member 'rawValue' I hope Joseph Heller is out there somewhere chuckling at my predicament any/all ideas greatly appreciated

Xcode: Duplicate Symbols Error
Hello, I have a problem with Xcode, in C++ language. When I create a new project, I put my program in a file and click Build. It works correctly and without any problems, but when I enter a second file in the same project and click build, it says build failed. In the log it says, duplicate symbols appear.

Dateformatter returns date in incorrect format
I have configured DateFormatter in the following way: let df = DateFormatter() df.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z'" df.locale = .init(identifier: "en") df.timeZone = .init(secondsFromGMT: 0) in some user devices instead of ISO8601 style it returns date like 09/25/2024 12:00:34 Tried to change date format from settings, changed calendar and I think that checked everything that can cause the problem, but nothing helped to reproduce this issue, but actually this issue exists and consumers complain about not working date picker. Is there any information what can cause such problem? May be there is some bug in iOS itself?

Load bundle resources in UI Tests
I want to load images from my bundle, which works fine when running the main app. However this does not work when running UI Tests. I read that the test bundle is not the main bundle when running tests. I try loading the bundle via this snippet: let bundle = Bundle(for: Frames_HoerspielUITests.self) This is my test class wrapped these the canImport statements so it can be added to the main app target and used for getting the correct bundle: #if canImport(XCTest) import XCTest final class Frames_HoerspielUITests: XCTestCase { override func setUpWithError() throws { continueAfterFailure = false } override func tearDownWithError() throws { } @MainActor func testExample() throws { let app = XCUIApplication() app.launch() } @MainActor func testLaunchPerformance() throws { measure(metrics: [XCTApplicationLaunchMetric()]) { XCUIApplication().launch() } } } #else final class Frames_HoerspielUITests { } #endif However while this works when running the main app, it still fails in the UI tests. It is a SwiftUI only app. and I can't add the images to the asset catalog because they are referenced from another location. Any ideas? Thank you
