SwiftUI
Resolved Issues
- Fixed: Compiling in the Swift 6 language mode might cause an @Entry error due to “static property defaultValueis not concurrency-safe because non-‘Sendable’ type”. (133885814)
- For apps compiled against iOS 18.2/visionOS 2.2 and run against iOS 18.0/visionOS 2.0, the popover modifier does not respect the arrowEdge argument on iOS, iPadOS, or visionOS, regardless of the deployment target of the app. Now, apps compiled against iOS 18.2/visionOS 2.2 and run against iOS 18.1/visionOS 2.1 and later do respect the arrowEdge argument. (135231043)
- Fixed: Views won’t accept dropped directories if UTType.directory or UTType.fileURL are not in the list of accepted content types for drop. (138158126)

- In iOS 18.2 Beta 3, -[UIApplication defaultStatusForCategory:error:] and its Swift equivalent UIApplication.isDefaultApplication(for
are not present. (139669875)
Workaround: Build and run against iOS 18.2 Beta 2 to test adoption of this new interface.
UIWritingToolsCoordinator
Known Issues
- The two optional delegate methods intended for multiple container support are not available in iOS 18.2 Beta. (136619485)
- When the UIWritingToolsCoordinator state is Noninteractive, textual changes might be applied through the UITextInput Paste API, instead of through -writingToolsCoordinator:replaceRange:inContextroposedText:reason:animationParameters:completion:. (136631598)
- The delegate method -writingToolsCoordinator:requestsRangeInContextWithIdentifierForPoint:completion: does not support asynchronous use of the completion block. (136824869)
Workaround: For the correct behavior when a user taps on a proofreading suggestion, the completion block for the method must be executed inline. - UIWritingToolsCoordinator throws an exception if the delegate returns modified text in -writingToolsCoordinator:replaceRange:inContextroposedText:reason:animationParameters:completion:, when reason is Noninteractive. (138775662)
Workaround: Only return modified text when reason is Interactive. - The delegate receives more calls to -writingToolsCoordinator:selectRanges:inContext:completion:than necessary. (138868937)
- On Catalyst, if the delegate does not implement -isEditable as an @objc method, then Writing Tools will not apply changes to the text. (139031260)
- The UIWritingToolsCoordinator might quit Writing Tools if a user types in the InteractiveResting state or during operation of the previous/next revision buttons in the UI. (139196667)
- The UIWritingToolsCoordinator might request underline paths from the delegate at a time when they can’t be calculated. (139532897)
Workaround: The delegate must be arranged to send -updateForReflowedTextInContextWithIdentifier:to the writingToolsCoordinator when underline paths can be calculated. - Undo/redo grouping behavior is unpredictable when Writing Tools is active. (139533079)
Workaround: For proper undo/redo grouping behavior, the delegate must start the grouping when the UIWritingToolsCoordinator’s state changes to InteractiveStreaming and stop when the state changes away from InteractiveStreaming. When the undo/redo stack is popped, the delegate should notify the Writing Tools coordinator, using -updateRange:withText:reason:forContextWithIdentifier: and passing the UndoRedo reason for each item. When all the items in the group have popped, use the same method to notify the coordinator, passing a 0-length range and a 0-length attributedString along with Typing for the reason.

NSWritingToolsCoordinator
Resolved Issues
- Fixed: NSWritingToolsCoordinator ignores the returned attributed string from writingToolsCoordinator(_:replaceRange:inContextroposedText:reason:animationParameters:completion. (139210266)
- Resolved an issue to properly name NSWritingToolsCoordinator-related enums inside an NSWritingToolsCoordinator extension in Swift-style: TextUpdateReason, State, TextReplacementReason, ContextScope, and TextAnimation. (139356801)
Known Issues
- NSWritingToolsCoordinator only supports synchronous NSWritingToolsCoordinator.Delegateinterfaces, expecting the completion handler to be invoked without escaping the delegate methods. (136769777)
- The object does not support multiple NSWritingToolsCoordinatorContext elements, and supports only the first element used. Also, it does not support dynamic decorationContainerView. The two optional NSWritingToolsCoordinator.Delegate methods for multiple container support are never called. (137983691)

Resolved Issues
- Fixed: The existing API tabletopGame(_ game, parent, automaticUpdate, interaction) is erroneously annotated as @available(visionOS, introduced: 2.2), which causes an existing app that uses it to stop compiling, unless the deployment target is bumped to visionOS 2.2. (139018795)
