@_Davidsmith hey David 👋🏻

I stumbled upon this app that is using your trademark “Widgetsmith” in their app subtitle.

You should contact Apple right away in my opinion.

Here is the App Store link: https://apps.apple.com/app/id1533393982

Is there a magic trick to get the "Delete Data from iCloud" work? I tried with different simulators and with my real device, it's not working. Every time, it pops back to the list of apps, the list refreshes but the data is still here...

For apps supporting multiple windows (iPad & macOS), how do you make your task modifiers only be called once & not multiple times? e.g. to perform something global.

A boolean flag?

If only we had an App or WindowGroup task modifier instead of having to put a task on a View in a WindowGroup.

But I need to login with 2FA every few hours to get the cookie required to use the endpoint 😞

Does anyone know how to make this easier? Can I use an app-specific password?

With the new TabView design on iPadOS 18, it seems we can't really use a NavigationSplitView in a TabView if we want the detail view navigationTitle to be visible and not hidden by the TabBar UI.

Is this something expected?
Is this navigation wrong?

onAppear, task, onChange modifiers are called twice for a #SwiftUI NavigationSplitView's detail view on iOS 18+ after the first navigation (see attached video). Beware of your side effects! It works fine on iOS 17+... 😤

Is this a known bug/regression?

I filed a feedback: #FB15751842.

Can you please have a look @curtclifton @teissler @ricketson @lucabernardi?

If you're using consumable in-app purchases in your apps:

1. How do you keep track of consumed credits/coins? UserDefaults, Core Data, SwiftData, etc.

2. Do you have a restore/sync mechanism so users can access them after reinstall or on another device? Why? How so?

On iOS 18 and iOS 18.1*, I notice an issue when I use a NavigationStack or NavigationSplitView. Sometimes, when I navigate to a detail view, the sliding animation is missing and the pushed view replaces the current view.

Have you also noticed that in your apps?

I opened a feedback with a video showing the issue (I can't share it here unfortunately): #FB15689914 cc @curtclifton thanks!

PS*: not tested on iOS 18.2 yet.

This issue has been raised months ago & I don't understand why it's still not fixed in iOS 18.2.

A workaround is to observe the ModelContext didSave notif: https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/759364?answerId=811927022#811927022

cc @curtclifton @ricketson @lucabernardi if you know someone at Apple working on SwiftData with SwiftUI, can you please escalate this? This is a massive hiccup.

@curtclifton Hey Curt, I hope you're fine.

I just filled three feedback concerning confirmationDialogs in #SwiftUI.

Can you please pass them to the right people?

Any #SwiftData engineers around?

I think I found a regression on iOS 18/18.1/18.2 when using #SwiftData with #Swift Concurrency.

It's pretty known by now (many forum threads on this topic) that it's full of bugs where background updates are not visible in UI/ #SwiftUI Views. But it used to work in iOS 17.5!

Is Apple actually doing any QA on its frameworks or does it rely on developers? Are we Apple's Guinea pigs?

Anyway, I filed #FB15583992 cc @curtclifton

I know you listen, thanks! 🙏🏻

When using #SwiftData, do we really need to pass the persistentModelID between threads/async functions?

I don't get any warnings with the "com.apple.CoreData.ConcurrencyDebug 1" launch argument when reading/updating a model from another thread (Task.detached)

Is SwiftData smart enough to do the work for us?

#SwiftUI View is now MainActor isolated (instead of only the body in previous SwiftUI versions).

But is this only for iOS 18 (and other new OSes) or is it also true if my app is running on iOS 17, built using Xcode 16? I’m not quite sure at what level this is handled.

I enjoy using the new SystemFormatStyles added to #SwiftUI on iOS 18 (and other OSes) to format relative/absolute dates automatically.

I wish we could specify a width for the unit, like we can in the Duration.UnitsFormatStyle or Measurement.FormatStyle for example. It seems to only used a .wide width right now.

This would allow to have "42m ago" instead of "42 minutes ago".

If you're using #SwiftData on #macOS, be careful to change the default ModelContainer URL if you don't use an AppGroup.

It seems the store files will be in located in Library/Application Support/.

So multiple apps could end putting their stores at the same place... 🤔
