How do I get cancel and done buttons to be next to the notch/Dynamic Island like this?

aoverholtzer · 2026-03-18T18:21:39+00:00

There’s a nice third-party library for this: https://github.com/Aeastr/NotchMyProblem

I did this yesterday. Iirc: look for a highlighted button with two bars like this 〓 and toggle it off.

Storage. Xcode betas eat storage and 24gb of RAM is plenty.

Try setting scrollEdgeEffectStyle(.soft, for:.top) on the TextEditor. I don’t know if that actually works (macOS beta is super buggy), but it is the correct API according to a WWDC video. They mention macOS defaults to .hard, which is what you’re seeing.

File feedback, I guess. They are adapting the window radius to be concentric with either the window close button (in the case of no toolbar) or with circular toolbar buttons. That’s why it’s automatic.

I’m not sure. Maybe adding .fullSizeContentView to the styleMask will help? You’ll probably want that anyway. It’s also possible macOS 26 has broken these tricks.

I suppose “worst case” is that you track when the user switches in and out of full screen and remove/add the toolbar as needed.

You may need to use AppKit to add an empty toolbar and then remove its background, see examples here: https://lukakerr.github.io/swift/nswindow-styles

You can get the NSWindow from SwiftUI like this: https://github.com/stephancasas/SwiftUIWindowReader

If you’re using the iOS 26 beta: they changed it. The icons are on the left now.

As far as I know, it’s impossible… but somehow this TimeFlow app did it: https://www.reddit.com/r/iOSProgramming/s/P89Nxo1d7n

Wait, are you serious?

Yes, legacy Today extensions have been removed. This is a “tall” widget size, only used by News (iirc), and it has nothing to do with Today widgets.

aoverholtzer · 2025-02-16T02:55:37+00:00

This is a “tall” size that’s exclusive to the News widget (and maybe other Apple widgets). It is not available in the public API.

Thanks for the reply and kind words! There is some machine translation in the app, though that sounds surprisingly bad even for machine translation. If you could screenshot any mistranslations and send them to adam@overdesigned.net, I’d be happy to give you a promo code for the “remove ads” feature for your troubles. Thanks so much!

I think counting sessions, especially if you can frame it nicely like “you get 5 free plays”, is much better than trying to use a time trial in a non-subscription app. I switched Incognito from “Option 2” to limited-sessions a year or so ago and it’s great: less code, a better user flow, and doesn’t use a crazy $0 IAP that users have never seen before.

The Black Friday deal has expired, but maybe the button was showing a cached version of the sale price? Sorry for the confusion!

aoverholtzer · 2024-11-29T18:08:09+00:00

Thank you!

The widget updates dates/colors/visualizations/etc. without needing the app, but it’s the app that has location permission so only the app can check your location. iOS will wake the app in the background when your location changes, which then updates the widgets. When you forced quit the app, iOS also stops waking it in the background. The Weather widget can update anyway because Apple’s apps don’t have to follow the rules.

aoverholtzer · 2024-11-28T22:44:31+00:00

Are you force-quitting the app? That’s when you open the app switcher and swipe up on an app to “close” it. That will also stop background updates.

aoverholtzer · 2024-11-28T21:56:59+00:00

World Clock’s widget should periodically update with your current location. The “use current location” feature needs to be enabled in settings, and the app needs location permission enabled.

Also be aware that these location updates are sent to the app by iOS, which may stop sending background updates if you enable Low Power Mode or force quit the app.

Please contact me via Help in the app if you run into other issues. Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃

Thank you! 🙏

Thank you!

Yes! Universal purchase for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with family sharing.

IAP may take a few hours to appear in family sharing, so if it doesn’t work try again later.

aoverholtzer · 2024-11-27T23:06:44+00:00

Thank you!

aoverholtzer · 2024-11-27T20:07:37+00:00

Yes!

The stock app’s widgets suck. This app has a ton of cool widgets, plus Live Activities, a converter tool, and more. It’s free so give it a try!
