Hello,
Using iOS 17.0, I can see a list of available voices. However, some will just not work, meaning that when selected there will be no sound produced and no errors.
This is true when using my app and AVSpeechUtterance, but it is also true in the settings where the preview button does nothing.

Hello,
Since iOS 16 AVSpeechSynthesisVoice.speechVoices() returns [] by default. Based on what I understood so far, this seems to be because iOS 16 doesn't come bundled with voices, unlike all previous versions.
This leads to the impossibility to do any speech synthesis using iOS 16 without asking users to go out of the app and download voices manually, meaning a significant barrier to entry and poor UX.
Does anyone know a workaround?
Hello,
It seems like AVSpeechSynthesisVoice.speechVoices() now returns [] instead of a list of voices, and which means that no speechVoices are available. This leads to the impossibility to do any speech synthesis using iOS 16.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Have you found a way to address it?
Thanks
Hello,
I'm fairly new to iOS development, and I'm now seeing that while users are using iOS 14.2 in production, it is still not available via Xcode. This of course means I can't fix their bugs nor build for these devices.
I could download the Xcode RC, but then what if it's not stable? Also it seems to require 30GB+ to install
Is this normal behavior from Apple ?
When will Xcode 12.2 be released ?
Thanks
Hello,
If I change my subscription price, will my existing users get the new price on renewal or the old price ?
The wording in the documentation seems a bit ambiguous to me.
Thanks
Hello,
In my iOS app most users can hear the AVSpeechSynthesisVoice correctly, but some report that it simply does not work. I haven't been able to reproduce the issue locally, but here is how I use the API:
let sentence = "the sentence to be told"
let synthesizer = AVSpeechSynthesizer()
let utterance = AVSpeechUtterance(string: sentence)
utterance.voice = AVSpeechSynthesisVoice(
	language: "en-GB"
)
utterance.rate = AVSpeechUtteranceDefaultSpeechRate * 1.05
synthesizer.speak(utterance)
This works perfectly fine on iOS 13 (tested most minors), all iOS 14 versions, all the devices I could find... but I keep getting reports of people not getting any audio feedback.
Do you have any pointers on where to look, or at least reproduce the issue?
Thanks
Hello,
How can I disable the blinking effect that NavigationLinks get when tapped ?
Thanks
Hello,
I'm using requestReview() to ask users to review my app, but it only shows a way to rate the app from 1 to 5 stars... no option to write a review. Because of this I start to have a lot of ratings but no reviews.
I see other apps linking to the app store with an action=write-review, but it seems to be discouraged by Apple and the documentation - https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/skstorereviewcontroller/2851536-requestreview is indicating that requestReview() should work for this use case:
Tells StoreKit to ask the user to rate or review your app, if appropriate. How can I ask for an actual review?
Thanks !
Hello,
I've been asking questions related to layout and UI, and not being able to share a link or a file makes it really hard to explain the issue.
Is there a preferred way to do it?
Thanks
Hello,
After building my SwiftUI for iOS 14 I've noticed that a lot of alignments were broken in the lists - https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/662544, but also in forms.
Now each section seems to be in a rectangle with rounded corners and extra padding. It looks great on devices with large screens, but on smaller screens everything is cluttered and there is barely any space to display the content.
Is this a known change in the default UI? Can I revert back to the way it was in iOS13?
Thanks!
Ever since updating to iOS 14, I get additional padding in my List that I didn't see on iOS 13. I also see this on my Form.
Is this a known issue of iOS 14 ? How can I fix this ?
var body: some View {
				NavigationView {
						VStack(alignment: .leading){
								List {
									 // Content goes here
									 // Mostly text and buttons
								}
						}.navigationBarTitle(Text("settings.title"), displayMode: .inline)
			 }
}
I can't attach a screenshot or link to a service displaying images on this forum, but you can see the visual result here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64168107/how-to-remove-new-list-padding-that-appeared-on-ios14
Hello,
I am fairly new to Swift development and I'm encountering a live crash that I can't figure out. Any pointers on how to even figure this one out would be appreciated because I can't reproduce the bug locally.
A simplified version of my code looks like this:
struct LinkItem: View {
		var content: LocalizedStringKey // This is the line crashing (SettingsView.swift:7)
		var body: some View {
				Text(content)
		}
}
And the only place where I call this view is here in my SettingsView:
LinkItem(content: "settings.tos")
LinkItem(content: "settings.pp")
LinkItem(content: "settings.sc")
and in my string file I have:
"settings.tos" = "Terms of service";
"settings.pp" = "Privacy policy";
"settings.sc" = "Support & contact";
Finally here is the data from crashlytics:

I've then tried to change the code to pass a String, but I'm getting the exact same crash.
struct LinkItem: View {
		var content: String
		var body: some View {
				Text( NSLocalizedString(content, comment: ""))
		}
}
It was later pointed out to me that it could be related to UINavigationItem setLargeTitleDisplayMode.
Here is what I do in the SettingsView:
.navigationBarTitle(Text("settings.title"), displayMode: .inline)
In context, it's more or less:
var body: some View {
	NavigationView {
		VStack(alignment: .leading){
			// Most content
		}..navigationBarTitle(Text("settings.title"), displayMode: .inline)
	}
}
In my ContentView I have the following things in my init call:
init() {
	UINavigationBar.appearance().isTranslucent = false
	UINavigationBar.appearance().titleTextAttributes = [
		.foregroundColor: Color.appDark.uiColor(),
		.font : UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 14, weight: UIFont.Weight.bold)
	]
}
Hello,
When recently updating to the latest xcode, all my UISwitch changed to use the default color.
Basically it means that this doesn't seem to work anymore: UISwitch.appearance().onTintColor = Color.red
I can't find a reference to any change.
Thanks
Hello,
I'm trying to remove the current back button behavior in a navigation view and instead have a simple arrow.
Disabling the button with navigationBarBackButtonHidden and then adding my own with navigationBarItems works, but then I lose the swipe gesture to go back. I could try to rebuild this swipe gesture, but that seems hard to get the same feel, and it will most likely break often.
Is there something simpler ?
I'd be satisfied with just removing the text of the back button and keeping only the <.
Thanks
