Reply to Text labels not displaying full text when in stack view
How are you configuring the labels? Remember to set the numberOfLines to 0 if you want to display all the text. If that does not work, check your layout constraints to see if if the label (and parent stack view) is being compressed, if so, set the compression resistance priority on the label to ensure it gets priority in being its own size let label = UILabel() label.numberOfLines = 0 /* compression resistance */ label.setContentCompressionResistancePriority(.required, for: .vertical)

Reply to orthogonalScrollingBehavior paging - getting current cell in center
You can (and should) use the visibleItemsInvalidationHandler on orthogonal sections for the most accurate detail on your current scrolling context. let section = NSCollectionViewSection(group: group) section.visibleItemsInvalidationHandler = { visibleItems, scrollOffset, environment in /* ... use scrollOffset to determine the paging behaviour */ } /* ...other setup */ let layout = UICollectionViewCompositionalLayout(section: section)

Reply to Menus for CollectionView Items
If I had to guess, those menu APIs were deprecated in favour of the UIContextMenuInteraction - https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uicontextmenuinteraction APIs introduced in iOS 13. There are UICollectionView convenience APIs for them too, found here - https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uicollectionviewdelegate/3295917-collectionview. You can learn more about them in the WWDC2019 session Modernizing Your UI for iOS 13 - https://developer.apple.com/wwdc19/224 at about the 38 minute mark; or the new APIs and enhancements for them in iOS 14 in the Build with iOS pickers, menus, and actions - https://developer.apple.com/wwdc20/10052 talk.

Reply to Use SwiftUI for iOS 13+ with some fallback mechanism for iOS 12 and lower.
Assuming you are using Swift, you can use the if #available conditional to check branch your code between different iOS versions that support something your minimum deployment target does not. You will also need to annotate any types that requires iOS versions higher than your minimum deployment target with the @available macro. For example, suppose you want to create ExampleView and ExampleViewController for in SwiftUI (iOS 13+) and UIKit (iOS 11 and iOS 12), you can do the following: @available(iOS 13.0, *) struct ExampleView : View { /* ... */ } class ExampleViewController : UIViewController { /* ...	*/ } /* Branching between SwiftUI vs UIKit based on iOS versioning */ let destinationViewController: UIViewController if #available(iOS 13.0, *) { destinationViewController = UIHostingController(rootView: ExampleView()) } else { destinationViewController = ExampleViewController() } self.present(destinationViewController, animated: true, completion: nil) Similarly, if you use Objective-C, you can do the following: if (@available(iOS 13.0, *)) { /* ... using APIs for iOS 13 and above. */ } else { /* ... fallback on iOS 12 and below */ } Anyone running iOS 12 and below will see ExampleViewController, whereas anyone on iOS 13 and above will see the SwiftUI view.

Reply to new UIDatePicker as inputView
In iOS 14, you should not use the UIDatePicker as the inputView, in fact, you can replace the text field with the UIDatePicker directly. If you use the .inline preferred style, then your uses will just get an inline date picker that has all the input fields configured. If you don't configure the style, the automatic style by default will provide .compact and will display a label that will open the input fields on tap. Check the UIDatePickerStyle - https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uidatepickerstyle API page for more detail or the WWDC20 session Build with iOS pickers, menus and actions - https://developer.apple.com/wwdc20/10052 to find out more about the new design.

Reply to Animate through multiple pages with UIPageViewController?
Unless you require some of the animations (like page curl), I would highly recommend using UICollectionView as a basis for a paging view. It can handle more flexible cases and allows you to very easily change pages by doing scrollToItem(at:at:animated:). Plus, if you need a paging indicator, you can add a UIPageControl separately into the view and be able to position it anywhere, unlike UIPageViewController which only shows the page indicator when you implement some of the dataSource methods and it is only positioned underneath the content and not overlaid.

Reply to iOS 14 UIDatePicker as UITextField.inputView
Yes, that is because the default (and only) date picker style available on iOS 13 was .wheels whereas UIKit introduced new (default) styles for iOS 14. If you want to use it as an inputView, you should set your UIDatePicker.preferredDatePickerStyle to .wheels That being said, the better solution would be to use the new styles and having the date pickers inline in your input form instead of needing to create a separate text field and attaching a date picker as the input view.

Reply to How to push a ViewController as a Popover
You cannot "push" a view controller as a different presentation style because it is not a presentation. In general, when we talk about UINavigationController and "push", it refers to the stack of view controllers that are transitioned from right-to-left when pushed, and left-to-right when popped. If the behaviour of Clock and Calendar that I think you are referring is the sheet presentation that comes up that when creating a new Alarm that will allows content to be pushed, then you should present the a UINavigationController that wraps the view controller you are trying to present. /* Instead of: */ self.present(destinationViewController, animated: true, completion: nil) /* You should instead: */ self.present(UINavigationController(rootViewController: destinationViewController), animated: true, completion: nil) This then allows you to have a navigation stack to push/pop in the presented hierarchy.

Reply to iOS 14 UICollectionView scrollToItem not working
Please provide more information. When are you calling collectionView:scrollToItemAtIndexPath:animated:? If you are using UICollectionViewDiffableDataSource, based on the limited information, I'm going to assume that you are trying to call scrollToItemAtIndexPath: in the completion block of your data source update. In iOS 14, it seems like UICollectionView will not perform the first layout until the UICollectionView has entered the window. This means that if you are loading your data in viewDidLoad, then it is possible that cells won't actually have done laying out when the completion block is called. If this is the case, you can simply call collectionView:scrollToItemAtIndexPath:animated: during viewDidAppear: since that will guarantee that the UICollectionView is already in the UIWindow.
