I have an ongoing activity in progress. Think of: a delivery in progress house internet reboot in progress some water / electricity / internet / tv outage. (food) order processing I want to show a persistent toast message above the tab bar, across all tabs and screens across the app. It could take 15 minutes until the activity is finished. Obviously there's a challenge of: accessibility content overlaying with each other extra engineering effort. What we've thought of doing is: Option1: show a toast message, but when a modal is presented then it presents on top of the toast message. The toast message no longer updates itself. Once the modal is finished, then the toast message re-appears and continues to update. Option2: keep the toast message across all tabs and modals and work through the challenges mentioned Question: What are some other design approaches that could be taken to persist an ongoing activity (much like 'Live Activity', but just across the app when it's in foreground) or what are some design reasons that the two options considered are bad?

My app works perfectly the first time it is used but when returning to the start after playing the game and playing another it does some random things. I figure it is because the app still retains the previous game in it’s memory allocation? My question is, what is the best way programmatically to have an app start fresh and not have to quit it and open it again?

Hi everyone, I’m currently trying to create a pure backdrop blur effect in my iOS app (SwiftUI / UIKit), similar to the backdrop-filter: blur(20px) effect in CSS. My goal is simple: • Apply a Gaussian blur (radius ~20px) to the background content • Overlay a semi-transparent black layer (opacity 0.3) • Avoid any predefined color tint from UIBlurEffect or .ultraThinMaterial, etc. However, every method I’ve tried so far (e.g., .ultraThinMaterial, UIBlurEffect(style:)) always introduces a built-in tint, which makes the result look gray or washed out. Even when layering a black color with opacity 0.3 over .ultraThinMaterial, it doesn’t give the clean, transparent-black + blur look I want. What I’m looking for: • A clean 20px blur effect (like CIGaussianBlur) • No color shift/tint added by default • A layer of black at 30% opacity on top of the blur • Ideally works live (not a static snapshot blur) Has anyone achieved something like this in UIKit or SwiftUI? Would really appreciate any insights, workarounds, or libraries that can help. Thanks in advance! Ben

Hello. Appstore is rejecting my app according to article 4.3. But the app is not a copy, what should I do in this case? It is useful to specify the details; I had previously registered with my personal account and the Appstore stated that unfortunately VPN applications are not accepted with a personal account. Then they told me to register with a company account and make this application from the company account. (When I sent the application for review on my personal account, there were only a few incorrect items and the most important reason why it was not accepted was that it was a personal account). Now we send the application for review with our company account, but as soon as it is put into in review mode, it is quickly rejected due to 4.3 spam. The app is not a copy but completely custom created. I don't know how to find a solution. Can you please help with the issue?

Hi, there is a issue that iOS background NFC scanning will only provide a notification result, It need user click to enter my APP, can I have any method to enter my APP directly without user action ?

I was trying to move from appkit to swiftUI. As a learning project I am building a cellular automata style project based on Pattersons Worms.. I am trying something similar to the EA game Worms? for the Commodore 64. There is a video on YouTube of the game running, but I'm not allowed to link it here. The problem I have is that the animation is driven by a ruleset. When the automata hits a configuration that is not in the ruleset it is supposed to stop and ask the user. For each step the model returns either the next move, or nil to indicate the user need to make a choice that will be sent back to the model to be added to the ruleset. My current approach, and I might be following the wrong path, is a ZStack where the bottom level is the grid, the middle level is the established worm segments and the top level is either the animation of the next worm segment or the user chooser to choose the segment. I've only implemented the animation of the next worm segment. The idea is that when the model adds a segment that it first animated at the top level and then displayed by the middle level. Then the top level animates the next segment. I was animating the trim on the segment to draw the line. If the current move is nil, then the middle level draws the segment. If current move has a value, the animation draw it, and then on completion sets the current move to nil so that the bottom level draw it. The problem I ran into was resetting the animation to draw the next segment. I've tried two approaches. in one the completion resets the animation boolean variable, but I need a manual step to set the next stage of the animation. The other uses the completion to set the next step, but it the animation doesn't run for the step and the display is an always a step behind. I'm not sure how to both update the move and reset the animation at the same time. I have uploaded a simplified version without the full grid and simplified model to GitHub (https://github.com/thomasrdean/AnimationTest). Is there any other way to reset the animation the than the completion so I can use the completion to retrieve the next step from the model?

Without using a custom preview, you can set .contentShape(RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 30)) so that in the "zoomed in" preview of the contextMenu you can have a custom cornerRadius. However, this does not work if you create a custom preview, because then the ContentShape gets applied only to the LIFT PREVIEW, and not to the FINAL PREVIEW state. Heres a sample code - I'd love some support! :) import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { VStack { Rectangle() .fill(Color.blue) .frame(width: 300, height: 300) .cornerRadius(30) .contentShape(.contextMenuPreview, RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 30)) .contextMenu { Button("Hello") {} Button("Goofy") {} } preview: { Rectangle() .fill(Color.blue) .frame(width: 300, height: 300) .cornerRadius(30) //.contentShape(RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 30)) //.contentShape(.contextMenuPreview, RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 30)) } Text("contextMenu item with large cornerRadius is not working as expected... No way to set contentShape to custom corner radius for final preview - not the lift preview") } } }

Haptic or Sound queue to allow for the accessibility of the blind (sound) and deaf population (haptic) for even knowing when location services and the camera were last used? Also, the grey notification rather than the purple notification for location services should appear for the full 24 hours after an application has used the app, if the correct description is within the "copy" of Settings The green light lets them know that the application has changed to the camera and fade out orange light both could even have subtle simply click sounds, like a shutter, big haptic, softer sound, but editable in Settings, of course

I've been beating my head against the wall over a scrollview issue where the top and bottom are cut off in landscape mode. Portrait mode - everything runs swimmingly. The moment I flip the iPad on its side, though, I lose about a quarter of the view on the top and bottom. I thought this was something to do with framing or such; I ran through a myriad of frame, padding, spacer, geometry...I set it static, I set it to dynamically grow, I even created algorithms to try to figure out how to set things to the individual device. Eventually, I separated the tablet and phone views as was suggested here and on the Apple dev forums. That's when I started playing around with the background image. Right now I have.... ZStack { Image("background") .resizable() .scaledToFill() .ignoresSafeArea() ScrollView { VStack(spacing: 24) {.... The problem is the "scaledToFill". In essence, whenever THAT is in the code, the vertical scrollview goes wonky in landscape mode. It, in essence, thinks that it has much more room at the top and the bottom because the background image has been extended at top and bottom to fill the wider screen of the iPad in landscape orientation. Is there any way to get around this issue? The desired behavior is pretty straightforward - the background image fills the entire background, no white bars or such, and the view scrolls against it.

I'm observing that when a silent push notification is sent to our app, is is started up in the background for 30 seconds before being suspended until the app is launched by the user. This causes data to persist from the silent push notification to the user app launch. I couldn't find documentation on this behavior for silent push notifications, and was wondering if it's possible to have the app terminate after handling the silent push notification. Is there documentation on the general flow of silent push notifications as well? I'm able to handle the edge cases if the app has to be suspended until user launch, but just want to confirm that this is the expected behavior before I go about handling it this way.

So…I am hitting a wall here and could use some guidance towards best practice. I’ve developed an app in Xcode/SwiftUI that renders just fine on the iPhone - text, images, buttons, frames…everything is nicely centered on the screen or scrolls where and when I want. The iPad though…not so much. I’m having issues with tops and bottoms being cut off in scrollviews. These are just straight up text screens too - the ones with other elements/controls…they’re rendering fine. I’ve tried a mix of geometry, vstack, scrollview, padding, spacers…the lot of it. Nothing I seem to do works - the views do not want to fill and fit properly. And, of course, the issue becomes worse the moment you flip the iPad into landscape view. Or use the 13” models. I’d imagine others are battling these issues as well and found solutions, so I decided to hit up the brain trust.

My app is being rejected and all I'm being told is that it is spam. I've tried improving various aspects of the game, but I just receive the same copy and paste rejection message each time. I have no idea if I'm moving in the right direction or what part of my game needs to be changed or improved. Is there a game quality benchmark document or some kind of resource I can use to better understand why my game is being rejected and how to bring it to a level that meets apple's standards.

I am developing an application which make use of 2 ornaments anchored to a volumetric window, one used a toolbar and one to display different views. The problem I am facing consistently is that the ornaments seems to scale up or down after moving the volume using the OS handle or starting a GroupActivity session. This first image shows the ornaments as soon as I started the app, no dragging nor group activities: This second images shows them as soon as I join a group activity session: The map, which might seem smaller, has not been touched and has always the same scale. In this last image I had just dragged the entire volume using the OS toolbar, resulting in the ornaments scaling down: This is how the volume and the ornaments are declared: WindowGroup(id: "CityVolume") { let cityVM = CityViewModel(volumeSize: CityView.initialVolumeSize) CityView(cityVM: cityVM) .ornament(attachmentAnchor: .scene(.bottomFront)) { HStack { TourismChartsButton() LandmarksListButton() CenterMapButton() ToggleImmersiveSpaceButton() TrafficDataButton() BusLinesButton() } .padding() .offset(z: 10) .rotation3DEffect(Angle(degrees: 15), axis: (x: 1.0, y: 0.0, z: 0.0)) } .ornament(attachmentAnchor: .scene(.back)) { ZStack { if AppModel.Instance.tourismVM.isChartViewVisible { TourismChartsView() } if AppModel.Instance.busLinesVM.isDataViewEnabled { BusLineView() } } } .task(observeGroupActivity) .onAppear { appModel.cityVM = cityVM } } .windowStyle(.volumetric) .windowResizability(.contentSize) .volumeWorldAlignment(.gravityAligned) .defaultSize(CityView.initialVolumeSize, in: .meters) It happens also without starting a SharePlay session, but not as frequently as during SharePlay. Experienced the same behaviour with toolbars. Am I doing something wrong with how I created the ornaments? Am I missing something?

Scenario is when keyboard is opened within the app being developed then switch to other app, for instance, Notes app and create a note to enable keyboard from there. While the Notes app keyboard is active switch back to the developed app the keyboard in it is dismissed. Any thoughts?Thanks

I noticed a discrepancy between the Material specifications for tvOS on the Developer page and the naming in the Design Resources (Sketch files). Which one should we consider authoritative? https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/materials
