Removing the device from DeviceHub then adding a new one seems to have fixed this issue for now.

I cannot screenshot or record screen using an iPhone Duo simulator (Xcode 27.2, iOS 27.1 & iOS 27.2). Restarting DeviceHub or Xcode doesn't fix it 😕 FB25338763

I just remembered Retention Messaging in App Store Connect, announced at WWDC 2026. It's coming this fall 🤞🏻 developer.apple.com/videos/play/...

As pointed out by others, running on an iPhone Duo simulator with iOS 27.1 works as expected (using Xcode 27.1 or 27.2). I hope Apple will soon provide a new 27.2 RC version (or a 27.3 beta) that fixes these iPhone Duo issues.

Here’s how the App Store app shows iPhone Duo screenshots: 1. Landscape then portrait, it only shows one landscape (like a search banner). 2. Portrait then portrait, it shows both. 3. Portrait then landscape, it also shows both.

I’m probably folding it wrong, but I can’t seem to get reservedRegions to display correctly on iPhone Duo simulator. Am I missing something, or is there a trick to getting this right?

With the iPhone Duo release, should we ditch custom onboarding in favor of a NavigationStack? System-provided containers handle control positioning correctly (vertical bar for example) but it seems we lose flexibility (fixed elements, transition, etc.). What's your take? 🤔

iPhone Duo owners, can you share a screenshot of an App Store search result please? I'm curious to see how the App Store displays mixed portrait and landscape screenshots. Thank you!

When presented in a sheet (iPhone & iPad), a NavigationStack's navigationBar behaves strangely when transitioning from a content with no title to a content with a title. It appears then move downwards to its correct position. Is there a way to fix that in SwiftUI? FB25308939

For those still using Xcode and StoreKit testing, I noticed a regression with iOS 27 where the decimal product price value is wrong and only the integer part is returned. For example, 69.99 returns 69. This makes price and percent calculations wrong. Sandbox is ok. FB25244911

In #SwiftUI, how to have a content always visible at the bottom of the screen (like the Apple Music mini player or an onboarding "next" button)? safeAreaInset/safeAreaBar modifier on a NavigationStack does not update the stack content inset. FB23732628 github.com/feedback-ass...

Ah, obviously it's working fine on iOS 17 and iOS 18 🙈 And the issue appeared with iOS 26. So another regression it seems 🫤

It's back on iOS 27 😞 FB23500349

An Apple Developer Tools Engineer confirmed we can't use a string catalog for this use case and we must use a .stringsdict file instead 🫡

The solution is to translate the TypeDisplayRepresentation name in a .stringsdict file. For a DeleteIntent, it seems this is used instead of the @.Parameter title. See the "Accelerating app interactions with App Intents" sample code from Apple: developer.apple.com/documentatio...

I don’t get why I need to connect external coding agents (OpenAI Codex, Claude Agent, etc.) in Xcode instead of using Apple Intelligence with Private Cloud Compute 🤔 Turning your $99/year Apple Developer Program fee into a monthly subscription could be a real cash machine 🤑

The CSSearchableItem(appEntity:) method is marked as iOS 18+ but my app crashes when it launches on iOS 18+, even if I wrap the lines in #if available(iOS 26, *). It works fine on iOS 26+. Any idea if that can be solved and how? Documentation: developer.apple.com/documentatio... cc @mgorbach.name

We can't drag and drop files to DeviceHub as we used to be able to using Simulator? It was quite handy to import files into apps (onOpenURL) 😒 FB: FB23368633

Fixed 😮‍💨 I had to change the extension minimum deployment from iOS 26 to iOS 18.6 (it was not set automatically when I added the widget extension). But then I had other issues about invalid widget kinds that were not in the scheme's Environment Variables... Cleaning solved it.

I'm trying to run the basic widgets extension template from Xcode on a physical device (iOS 18.7.9) but it fails. I tried rebooting my device twice. I tried using Xcode 26.6 too, same issue. I don't know what to do to get it work...

Why can I only search for an indexed item in Spotlight using the title or the displayName on iOS but I can search by any indexed attribute on macOS? 🤔 Is this a bug or expected? I also posted on Apple developers forums with a feedback (FB23317556): developer.apple.com/forums/threa...

With “Find…” actions in Apple #Shortcuts, is there a way to specify only the date part (not the time) for a filter? I now I can omit the time part in my app’s queries but it’s not very intuitive for a user in my opinion. Asking for a friend implementing #AppIntents.

I'm looking for a sample #SwiftUI project using the AppIntents framework to read/write data from/to #CoreData (and/or #SwiftData). Do I use the AppDependencyManager thing? A database singleton? Do I use the main thread? A background thread/context? Any idea? Thank you!

Is there a way in #SwiftUI to detect when a sheet is being dismissed by a user to present a confirmationDialog in case of unsaved changes, as recommended by Apple HIG about Sheets? In UIKit, we can use the presentationControllerDidAttemptToDismiss method. Feebdack: FB22777840

So it seems if there is a confirmation action associated with the cancellation action, we should put the cancellation at the leading edge (what iOS has been doing for ages). But if it’s just a close button in the toolbar, we should put it at the trailing edge, like what Apple seems to be doing.

@mikestern.bsky.social hey Mike. Is there a way to see all changes made to Apple Human Interface Guidelines instead of having to check each page to see the log? Thanks!

Is there a local LLM I can run on my Mac to translate my app’s string catalogs? #xcode #iosdev

Flo found an alternative to the free trial toggle on its paywall that seems compliant with Guideline 3.1.2 😮 It replaced the toggle by a “Not sure yet? Start a free trial” button that selects the offer with the free trial while presenting a sheet with all subscription options.

The solution is to use .compositingGroup() on the SwiftUI Menu 🎉 Thanks to @saschagordner.de who pointed me to a StackOverflow answer about the exact same issue: stackoverflow.com/a/79884587 Documentation about compositingGroup: shorturl.at/btdM6
