iOS Release Notes

Overview

The iOS & iPadOS 26.4 SDK provides support to develop apps for iPhone and iPad running iOS & iPadOS 26.4 beta. The SDK comes bundled with Xcode 26.4, available from the Mac App Store. For information on the compatibility requirements for Xcode 26.4, see Xcode 26.4 Release Notes.

Background Assets

New Features

• You can now check the status of an asset pack while offline by calling localStatus(ofAssetPackWithID:) or assetPackIsAvailableLocally(withID:) on the shared asset pack manager. The former method returns all available status information. The latter returns only a Boolean value but can be called synchronously. Not all status information is available offline. (164498466)
• You can make the latest version of an asset pack available locally by calling ensureLocalAvailability(of:requireLatestVersion:) on the shared asset pack manager and passing true to the shouldUpdate parameter. (166237389)

Known Issues

• Apps might crash when downloading asset packs. (169648111)
  Workaround: If an app crashes due to this issue, then relaunch it. The app should then have local access to the asset pack that it was downloading when it crashed.

External Media

Known Issues

• HFS external media might fail to mount automatically. (168672160)
  Workaround: For macOS only, use CLI tool diskutil mount to attach the relevant disk device.

Feedback

Known Issues

• After submitting a crash/panic report, Feedback UI’s close button might become unresponsive. (170091186)
  Workaround: Locking and unlocking the device helps get out of this state.

Memory Integrity Enforcement for Applications

New Features

• Applications can now opt in to the full protections of Memory Integrity Enforcement for enhanced memory safety protection. Previously applications were limited to Soft Mode. (160719439)

Messages

New Features

• RCS end-to-end encryption is now available for testing in this beta. This feature is not shipping in this release and will be available to customers in a future software update for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and watchOS. End-to-end encryption is in beta and is not available for all devices or carriers. Conversations labeled as encrypted are encrypted end-to-end, so messages can’t be read while they’re sent between devices. In this beta, RCS encryption is available for testing between Apple devices and is not yet testable with other platforms. (170160585)

Networking

Resolved Issues

• Fixed: Multiple processes leak CFRunLoopSource objects when Automatic proxy configuration (PAC) or Auto proxy discovery are configured. For clients of the CFNetwork Execute Proxy Auto Configuration URL and CFNetwork Execute Proxy Auto Configuration Script API, please check to make sure your process is not working around the leak by overreleasing the CFRunLoopSourceRef returned by those functions or the CFArrayRef and CFErrorRef passed to the completion. (166839810) (FB21376045)

Reality Composer

Known Issues

• Reality Composer iOS can no longer export projects as .reality or USDZ. Opening export menu results in an empty panel. (170091896)

StoreKit

New Features

• New fields revocationType and revocationPercentage have been added to Transaction. (148858551)

SwiftUI

Resolved Issues

• Fixed: SwiftUI does not surface the latest .userActivity as the current user activity. (163136831)

Known Issues

• Multiple implicit SwiftUI animations (triggered by RealityViewContent.animate or Entity.animate) that modify a RealityKit component’s properties, are combined only when the implicit animations target the same set of component properties. For example, if you initiate an implicit animation on Transform.scale and then initiate an implicit animation on Transform.scale and Transform.translation then the animations affecting the scale property will be independent of each other, and will not combine. In this case, the most recently initiated animation will overwrite the scale property. (169723142)
  Workaround: Ensure the same component properties are animated by subsequent implicit animations when possible.

UIKit

Resolved Issues

• Fixed: KeyboardNotification might not send. (165479264)

iOS & iPadOS 26.2 SDK

The iOS & iPadOS 26.2 SDK provides support to develop apps for iPhone and iPad running iOS & iPadOS 26.2 beta. The SDK comes bundled with Xcode 26.2, available from the Mac App Store. For information on the compatibility requirements for Xcode 26.2, see Xcode 26.2 Release Notes.

Fixed

• The Allocations instrument sometimes fails to report reference counting operations for native Swift types. (163080666)
• PermissionKit Significant App Update API is not testable in sandbox. (163601229)
• Fixed: An issue prevents the purchase of a subscription using a win-back offer when testing with StoreKit Testing in Xcode. (162357552) (FB20604848)

SubscriptionStatus

• SubscriptionStatus.all returns old SubscriptionStatus after a subscription change. (163505178)
• Workaround: Wait 24 hours and try again.

TLS Client Hello

The default TLS Client Hello has been modified. If your app or website communicates with servers configured with strict bot-detection or security policies that only allow traffic with known TLS fingerprints, then users might be unable to login or perform other actions.
TLS Client Hellos are expected to change across releases as Apple works to offer the most secure TLS options. Servers should adopt resilient and adaptable bot-detection policies that can handle changes in TLS Client Hellos. Overly restrictive policies can cause difficult to triage disruptions to user experience. (163151032)

• The Catch up affordance might display incorrectly. Workaround: Leave and return to the affected conversation.
• The first backup on a post beta 4 build when users have been on beta 4 prior might take a longer time to complete if there are a large number of message attachments. Both automatic and manual backups might take a longer time to complete and get deferred over days which can lead to users seeing that the device has not been backed up in a while. Workaround: Turn off and delete iCloud backups and turn it back on: Settings -> iCloud Backup -> Select the device -> Turn off and delete from iCloud To turn it back on Settings -> iCloud Backup -> Toggle on Backup this phone
• Manually configured widgets might lose their configuration. Workaround: Reconfigure the affected widgets.
• On iOS, using an Observable object’s property as a selection value of a List inside Navigation Split View may cause a “Simultaneous accesses to …” error when a list selection is made via tap gesture. Workaround: There is no current workaround for Observable properties. Alternatives include factoring out the selection value into separate state stored outside the object, or using Observable Object instead.

Swift Charts

Resolved Issues

• Fixed an issue where a scrollable chart did not respect the initial non-zero binding value passed to chartScrollPosition. (114889276)

SwiftUI

New Features

• Use _logChanges() to log causes of SwiftUI view updates.
  Call the new debugging method _logChanges() in the body of a SwiftUI view to log information about why the system is updating the view. For example:
  struct MyView: View {
  #if DEBUG
  let _ = Self._logChanges()
  #endif
  // … rest of view body …
  }
  As well as the physical property names, “@self” marks that the view value itself has changed, and “@identity” marks that the identity of the view has changed (that is, that the persistent data associated with the view has been recycled for a new instance of the same type).
  The new _logChanges() method is like the existing _printChanges() one, except that the new method uses the system console, which is useful in some debugging workflows.
  Calls to _logChanges() log at the info level to the “com.apple.SwiftUI” subsystem with the category “Changed Body Properties”. (113352555)

Resolved Issues

• Fixed: Resolved a possible Swift access conflict crash that could occur with toolbar items. (113992797)

Object Capture

New Features

• A new manual bounding box flow is now initiated if automatic object detection fails to find an object, particularly in cases where there is no salient ground plane. In this flow, the user is expected to utilize the standard manual bounding box controls to indicate the bounding box of the object to capture by adjusting the provided starting box placed in the world in front of the user. You can determine if this mode has been activated by observing for the new element .objectNotDetected, which will be added to the ObjectCaptureSession’s Feedback set when the manual flow has been activated. You can use this to provide notification and/or instructions to the user about this manual box flow as desired. (113474123)

Resolved Issues

• Fixed an issue where an ObjectCaptureView was incorrectly rotating the point cloud view in landscape UI orientations. (114248688) (FB13030239)
• Fixed: PhotogrammetrySession creation on iOS is now significantly faster. (114458164)

In the Settings app, go to Siri & Search > Language > English (India) and choose English & Hindi as the Preferred Response Language. Then ask Siri something in Hindi. (114742290)

StoreKit

New Features

• In StoreKit testing in Xcode, a billing error StoreKit message will be sent when a subscription tries to renew while the Enable Billing Retry on Renewal setting is enabled in the StoreKit configuration file. Use the messages listener API to control when StoreKit messages are displayed in your app. (101869442)
• productDescriptionHidden(_:) API can be used to configure the visibility of product descriptions in ProductView, StoreView, and SubscriptionStoreView instances within a view hierarchy. When building with Xcode 15.3, the view modifier can be used even if your app is running on iOS 17.0, iPadOS 17.0, macOS 14.0, tvOS 17.0, watchOS 10.0, visionOS 1.0, or later.
  When implementing a product view style, it can support this new view modifier by checking the descriptionVisibility property on the configuration value. (110414819) (FB12261973)
• You can use SubscriptionStoreView to present promotional offers by adding the subscriptionPromotionalOffer(offer:signature:) modifier.
  If you’re already using inAppPurchaseOptions(_:) modifier to support promotional offers for StoreKit views, you should adopt the new API instead when your app is running on iOS 17.4, iPadOS 17.4, macOS 14.4, tvOS 17.4, watchOS 10.4, visionOS 1.1 or later. Do not use both APIs to apply a promotional offer for the same view. (115358806)

Resolved Issues

• Fixed: The isEligibleForIntroOffer property and isEligibleForIntroOffer(for:) method now reflect ineligibility in cases where a customer would otherwise be eligible for the offer if they weren’t actively subscribed. This means a customer which is not currently eligible for an introductory offer may become eligible in the future.
  Customers who redeem an introductory offer for a given subscription group will continue to never be eligible for another introductory offer in that subscription group. You can detect this case this by checking if any one transaction with a matching subscriptionGroupID has the type property on offer set to introductory. (103604770) (FB11889732)
• Fixed an issue causing SKAdNetwork versions 2.2 and 3.0 to not accept impressions or send postbacks. (121223565)

• Popover presentations now automatically dismiss if they go outside the safe area. (100811375)

Resolved Issues

• Fixed: Resolved an issue with programmatically present an alert or sheet simultaneously with dismissing another sheet. The new alert or sheet would not show but now it will. If you have code that presents the same sheet programmatically from multiple places in your view hierarchy at the same time, that sheet might no longer appear. Make sure that any sheet modifiers that are in the view hierarchy at the same time use distinct isPresented or item bindings. (117475214)

WebKit

Resolved Issues

• Fixed HTML content not displaying in a Simulator, affecting projects using the web extension project template. (121338366)
