Apple updated its Human Interface Guidelines for Sheets on March 24, 2026 to add guidance for button placement in the toolbar. "In iOS & iPadOS, the Cancel button belongs on the leading edge of the top toolbar." Time to update my apps 🙂 Documentation: developer.apple.com/design/human...

But some people on X pointed that Apple doesn’t respect this guideline. Or maybe a “Close” behaves differently than a “Cancel”? 🤔 What’s Apple stake on this @mikestern.bsky.social? Could you please specify in the Apple HIG if this is valid for both Close and Cancel? Thanks! x.com/vistar941/st...

Seems like there’s a difference between “close” and “cancel” where “cancel” is a destructive action with an opposite confirm button. Close is non-destructive so it stays in the primary trailing spot

Yes so it would be good to have a close ToolbarItemPlacement that would correctly position non-destructive actions.
