If I use UIEditMenuInteraction to present an edit menu, it has a dismissMenu method that I can call to remove the menu when necessary. When I use UITextInteraction, I get an edit menu automatically that is normally presented and dismissed at appropriate times. But sometimes I want to dismiss the menu myself, and I can't find a way to do that. Am I missing something? I was hoping to find that UITextInteraction inherited from UIEditMenuInteraction, or had some other way to access the underlying menu in order to dismiss it. But it seems that the menu must be a private part of the UITextInteraction implementation. The particular case that I need to deal with is when I call resignFirstResponder. This seems to cause the keyboard to close and the insertion point and any selection to be hidden, but if an edit menu was shown then it remains visible (a ghost!). If anyone knows of an alternative to resignFirstResponder that will make UITextInteraction tidy up properly, that would also be useful to know. Thanks for any suggestions!

I have created a custom input field by conforming to UITextInput. It is setup to use UITextInteraction. Everything works very well. If the user taps on the custom field, the cursor (provided by UITextInteraction) appears. The user can type, select, move the cursor, etc. But I'm stumped trying to get the cursor to appear automatically. With a normal UITextField or UITextView you simply call becomeFirstResponder(). But doing that with my custom UITextInput does not result in the cursor appearing. It only appears if the user taps on the custom field. I don't know what I'm missing. I don't see any API in UITextInteraction that can be called to say "activate the cursor layer". Does anyone know what steps are required with a custom UITextInput using UITextInteraction to activate the cursor programmatically without the user needing to tap on the custom field?

I am developing an App. There are multiple windows in it. A main window that shows the main UI of the app, and some other util windows that are created dynamically when needed. All of these windows have their rootviewcontrollers, and they all support all the userinterface orientations. But when I rotate the device, the windows seemed rotate to the right orientation, but some window has four strange black rectangles along each side. And the worse thing is that the whole app become freezed, it does not respond to touch event, I need to force quit it. I did a lot of experiments to find out the cause of this issue in last two months. I found some truth about this issue: Good Case: If the App only has the main window, the issue gone. If the rotation animation completed, the issue gone. the attachment shows some callstacks when rotation animation completed. goodcase-animation-callstacks Bad Case: When the issue occurs, I find out the rotation animation does not complete. This is some code of rootviewcontroller: - (void)viewWillTransitionToSize:(CGSize)size withTransitionCoordinator:(id<UIViewControllerTransitionCoordinator>)coordinator { [super viewWillTransitionToSize:size withTransitionCoordinator:coordinator]; NSLog(@"%s, size: %@", __PRETTY_FUNCTION__, NSStringFromCGSize(size)); NSLog(@"%@", NSThread.callStackSymbols); NSLog(@"%@", self.view); NSLog(@"%@", self.view.subviews); [coordinator animateAlongsideTransition:^(id<UIViewControllerTransitionCoordinatorContext> _Nonnull context) { NSLog(@"animation block"); fprintf(stderr, "stderr animation block\n"); fprintf(stdout, "stdout animation block\n"); NSLog(@"%@", NSThread.callStackSymbols); NSLog(@"animation block SDL_uikitviewcontroller runloop mode: %@", NSRunLoop.currentRunLoop.currentMode); NSLog(@"%@", self.view); NSLog(@"%@", self.view.subviews); } completion:^(id<UIViewControllerTransitionCoordinatorContext> _Nonnull context) { NSLog(@"completion block, isCancelled: %@", context.isCancelled ? @"YES" : @"NO"); fprintf(stderr, "stderr animation completion block\n"); fprintf(stdout, "stdout animation completion block\n"); NSLog(@"%@", NSThread.callStackSymbols); NSLog(@"animation complete block SDL_uikitviewcontroller runloop mode: %@", NSRunLoop.currentRunLoop.currentMode); }]; [coordinator notifyWhenInteractionChangesUsingBlock:^(id<UIViewControllerTransitionCoordinatorContext> _Nonnull context) { NSLog(@"%s", __PRETTY_FUNCTION__); }]; } I guess this issue is similar to another common issue: UINavigationController push/pop viewcontroller when previous push/pop animation is running, or showing a UIAlertController when viewcontroller is being pushing/popping They all have the same result, the app become unresponsive to touch events, but they can respond to other events(I did some test, the app is still running, not in a deadlock state, it just can not respond to touch events) I guess the root cause of this issue is the animations conflict, or the view hierarchy changed when animating, so the animation states and the view hierarchy were messed up. But I don't know how to fix it. I have a workaround, but it has side effect.

Xcode15 crash reloadItems - Invalid update: invalid number of items in section When building with xcode14, there was no crash when calling collectionView reloadItems. If you build with xcode15 A crash pops up saying Invalid update: invalid number of items in section. The current issue has been resolved, but I would like to know the exact cause of the crash in xcode 15. Does anyone know?

Hi, I am using compositional layout on my UICollectionView. For my sections I have added a decorationItem which is a UICollectionReusableView. Everything seems to work fine on all iOS versions, except iOS 16, where I'm getting an unexpected crash. The Firebase Crashlytics report says as follows: Fatal Exception: NSInternalInconsistencyException Invalid parameter not satisfying: sectionIndex < self.solutionBookmarks.count This happens right after I'm reloading my collectionView after fetching data from API. Any help would be appreciated on this, since I can't seem to debug this issue whatsoever. Thanks

I am attempting to use UITextSelectionDisplayInteraction. It basically works, but I'm unsure how the selection handles are supposed to work. The documentation is minimal and the WWDC video (2023 session 10058) doesn't say much either. As the name suggests, it seems that this interaction only displays the cursor, selection background, and handles. As I change the selection, it updates these views. So if I want the user to be able to drag the selection handles I need to implement that, right? OK, so I add a gesture recognizer to each selection handle. But this doesn't seem to do anything, i.e. the gesture recognizer action never seems to be invoked. Maybe I'm doing something wrong - but I'd like to understand what is supposed to happen. Is adding a pan gesture recognizer to each selection handle the right approach? P.S. I wanted to tag this "WWDC2023-10058", but the per-session tags seem to have disappeared. Is this a forum bug, or deliberate?

I have recently submitted a new app version to the Appstore with Xcode 15.0. Unfortunately, I have started to see the below crash in the Xcode organiser &gt; Crashes section occurring for more number of times. UIKitCore: +[UIAlertController _alertControllerContainedInViewController:] + 160 The exception trace is not leading to main() function but not pointing to any of the code line. I had used UIAlertController in the past versions to show the alerts but there is no code written in the current version code related to UIAlertController. Only from the latest version, this kind of crash started to surface. In the latest release, We have added a third party SDK and while implementing the SDK, we had added the Location and Bluetooth Permissions in Info.plist file. But as we don't want to use/track the Location and Bluetooth details from the app, the SDK team has disabled the Location and Bluetooth settings to not reflect in the tracked data. Is this behaviour creating any conflict with the UIAlertController and logging the crash? Because by default the OS tries to show the alert when the permissions exist in the plist file, but the alert will not come as the service is disabled on the SDK server settings. Is this creating any conflict and logging the crash. Please extend your help.

Hi, community: I was trying to move from application(_:open:options:) (UIKit) to onOpenURL(perform:) (SwiftUI). Maybe there's something that I'm missing. In UIKit you can say to the system that you won't handle the URL then the app is not opened, but when I use onOpenURL(perform:) it is always opened. Is there any way to achieve the same behavior? Thanks in advance.

#0 Thread NSInternalInconsistencyException UITableView dataSource is not set 0 CoreFoundation ___exceptionPreprocess + 164 20 UIKitCore ___swift_destroy_boxed_opaque_existential_1Tm + 12004 There is very little information about the call to the stack. Some of our iOS App users are suddenly experiencing a ** "UITableView dataSource is not set"** crash. I don't think it's a coincidence that these users are all 17.4.1 users.

I have a custom rotor that changes the skim speed of the skim forward/backward feature of my audio player. The rotor works, but it's always playing an end-of-list sound. Here is the code: // Member variables private let accessibilitySeekSpeeds: [Double] = [10, 30, 60, 180] // seconds private var accessibilitySeekSpeedIndex: Int = 0 func seekSpeedRotor() -> UIAccessibilityCustomRotor { UIAccessibilityCustomRotor(name: "seek speed") { [weak self] predicate in guard let self = self else { return nil } let speeds = accessibilitySeekSpeeds switch predicate.searchDirection { case .previous: accessibilitySeekSpeedIndex = (accessibilitySeekSpeedIndex - 1 + speeds.count) % speeds.count case .next: accessibilitySeekSpeedIndex = (accessibilitySeekSpeedIndex + 1) % speeds.count @unknown default: break } // Return the currently selected speed as an accessibility element let accessibilityElement = UIAccessibilityElement(accessibilityContainer: self) let currentSpeed = localizedDuration(seconds: speeds[accessibilitySeekSpeedIndex]) accessibilityElement.accessibilityLabel = currentSpeed + " seek speed" UIAccessibility.post(notification: .announcement, argument: currentSpeed + " seek speed") return UIAccessibilityCustomRotorItemResult(targetElement: accessibilityElement, targetRange: nil) } } The returned accessibility element isn't read out, and instead an end-of-list sound is played. I can announce the change manually using UIAccessibility.post, but it still plays the end-of-list sound. How can I prevent the rotor from playing the end-of-list sound?

After adopting sidebar / split view controller support in Mac Catalyst, there are several UI side effects that make the default title bar stick out and look inconsistent. If I hide the title bar however, func scene(_ scene: UIScene, willConnectTo session: UISceneSession, options connectionOptions: UIScene.ConnectionOptions) { guard let windowScene = (scene as? UIWindowScene) else { return } #if targetEnvironment(macCatalyst) if let titlebar = windowScene.titlebar { titlebar.titleVisibility = .hidden titlebar.toolbar = nil } #endif } the ability to double click the top of the window to maximize it is lost. What would be the simplest approach to have both the hidden appearance, but keep the double click behavior?

Preface Upon rotating the interface, the UICollectionViewCells overlap, generating an unpleasant animation that for sure can't be used in production. The code The code was executed on iPhone 6S (NN0W2TU/A A1688) with iOS 15.8.2. I could reproduce the issue on iPhone 15 Pro with iOS 17 on simulator as well.

CarouselCell else { fatalError() } let index : Int = (indexPath.section * self.images.count) + indexPath.row reusableCell.configure(with: self.images[index]) return reusableCell } } Notes I found a similar unanswered question here. I'm sure something can be done about it because if I switch to SwiftUI with a TabView, that according to SwiftUI Introspect documentation for TabViewWithPageStyleType, is using UICollectionView under the hood, I'm not getting that ugly animation anymore. Though I can't switch to SwiftUI to use TabView because on interface rotation it loses the page index (well known bug, see here), which probably is even trickier to workaround.

I am trying to save data files between runs of an iOS App from Xcode on a real iPad (not the simulator). NSHomeDirectory gives me a different directory every time I run the app on the iPad (from XCode). I cannot write a file on one run and then retrieve it on the next run. How do I get around this annoying problem?

I have a UITableView with 1 section and 3 rows, and each row is 1000 height, the UITableView height is 832, such as below: but when I click the right button, the visibleCells has 2 items(row-0 and row-1), but the indexPathsForVisibleRows only has 1 item(row-0). In my expectation, I set UITableView contentOffset with 168.8, the row-1 cell is visible. but indexPathsForVisibleRows does not correct. Well then, I try to read the assembly of indexPathsForVisibleRows, I found that the UITableView use _visibleBounds to compute indexPathsForVisibleRows, but the _visibleBounds.height is reduced by one when compute, why? the assembly code looks like below:

I'm creating a slate pad for Ipad with several input fields to fill using Adobe XD. How can I obtain and attach a virtual keyboard to fill these input fields? I found a video with a similar concept but on Iphone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7tPI0VuKd4&list=PLWeIX-zcNnqII-nzviv_yxT2WNQRRYbiG&index=3 In this other link, the video mentions that the virtual keyboard was obtained from a UI kit that Apple provides. But I've looked and looked and I can't find a page to download this virtual keyboard. Any ideas? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rosf7-zVYjY&t=122s

Hi, I have a UIBarButtonItem that I create with a UIMenu, and it's added to the navigation bar: self.rightButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemAdd menu: [self createMenuForAddItem]]; self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItems = @[self.rightButton]; The menu shows fine when a user clicks on the bar button. Now I want to also show this menu programmatically, for e.g if the user opens the app for the 5th time, the menu from the bar button item shows automatically, without the user having to explicitly press the button. How do I achieve this?

I have a data object that dynamically changes the UIImage assigned to one of its instance variables, but when showing this image in SwiftUI, it's always black and white. The following sample code shows the difference between the same image, but using first the native constructor Image(systemName:) and then Image(uiImage:). When using AppKit and Image(nsImage:) this issue doesn't happen. import SwiftUI import UIKit struct ContentView: View { @State var object = MyObject() var body: some View { Image(systemName: "exclamationmark.triangle.fill") .symbolRenderingMode(.palette) .foregroundStyle(.white, .yellow) Image(uiImage: object.image) } } class MyObject { var image = UIImage(systemName: "exclamationmark.triangle.fill")! .applyingSymbolConfiguration(.init(paletteColors: [.white, .systemYellow]))! } #Preview { ContentView() }

hi I have been using WKWebView embedded in a UIViewRepresentable for displaying inside a SwiftUI View hierarchy, but when I try the same code on 17,5 beta (simulator) the code fails. In fact, the code runs (no exceptions raised or anything) but the web view does not render. In the console logs I see: Warning: -[BETextInput attributedMarkedText] is unimplemented Error launching process, description 'The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -10814.)', reason '' The code I am using to present the view is: struct MyWebView: UIViewRepresentable { let content: String func makeUIView(context: Context) -> WKWebView { // Javascript that disables pinch-to-zoom by inserting the HTML viewport meta tag into <head> let source: String = """ var meta = document.createElement('meta'); meta.name = 'viewport'; meta.content = 'width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no'; var style = document.createElement('style'); style.type = 'text/css'; style.innerHTML = '*:focus{outline:none}body{margin:0;padding:0}'; var head = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0]; head.appendChild(meta); head.appendChild(style); """ let script: WKUserScript = WKUserScript(source: source, injectionTime: .atDocumentEnd, forMainFrameOnly: true) let userContentController: WKUserContentController = WKUserContentController() let conf = WKWebViewConfiguration() conf.userContentController = userContentController userContentController.addUserScript(script) let webView = WKWebView(frame: CGRect.zero /*CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 1000, height: 1000)*/, configuration: conf) webView.isOpaque = false webView.backgroundColor = UIColor.clear webView.scrollView.backgroundColor = UIColor.clear webView.scrollView.isScrollEnabled = false webView.scrollView.isMultipleTouchEnabled = false if #available(iOS 16.4, *) { webView.isInspectable = true } return webView } func updateUIView(_ webView: WKWebView, context: Context) { webView.loadHTMLString(content, baseURL: nil) } } This has been working for ages and ages (back to at least ios 15) - something changed. Maybe it is just a problem with the beta 17.5 release?
