Is it possible to create Xcode widget in Xcode 12 but without the use of SwiftUI and instead use XIB files to construct the Widget UI?
Widget protocol is only available in SwiftUI framework, so you can only create widgets using SwiftUI.

Update
You can't use UIKit views wrapped in UIViewRepresentable within SwiftUI for Widgets, It will appear blank.

No, due to performance and battery life concerns, WidgetKit only works with SwiftUI.
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/widgetkit
You configure the widget with a timeline provider, and use SwiftUI views to display the widget’s content. The timeline provider tells WidgetKit when to update your widget’s content.

I am trying to create the same experience where a sheet is presented in one of the tab items of a TabView - not covering the tabs.
I am using .presentationDetents() and SwiftUI4.0 for that.
See example of Apple's own app doing that
The sheet is covering the child view inside TabView.
However, instead in my own code I am getting
this - the tabs of the parent view are covered by the modal sheet
The link https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/711702 suggests that it is not possible to achieve the same behaviour you see in Apple's Maps and Find My apps with the current SwiftUI API.
SwiftUI can easily present a sheet view on top of the existing review when a condition is met (see screen record below). What is the sheet component equivalent in UIKit?
Tried to Google a result and it looks like there is a sheet related view called UIActionSheet, but that does not seem like the right UI control.

Example of how to achieve the same behavior with UIKit.

This is just another UIViewController presented modally with a Done UIBarButtonItem on the right side.
I am trying to add a dropdown list in my SwiftUI catalyst app. from what I read you have to use the picker, but it does not let you use the popupbuttonpicker style on iOS. so how can I achieve a Mac style dropdown list in catalyst? I assume I have to basically roll my own out using views and popups?
Make sure you set your app setting to "Optimize interface for Mac"
:D
i'm have a storyboard with a TabBarController but when i do the relationship with my others seven view controllers in mi tab bar appears a "more" Tab, How can i put this seven tabs in one tabbar?
I´ll have to do manually? with a tabbarcontroller class? or implementing Tabbar Delegate in a uiviewcontroller, But i dont have any idea how to do this.
Thank You Soo much!
Please Help Me.
Thanks Again.
I believe Apple actively discourages people from doing this in their apps, and so do I. It is never done in the iOS itself, and I have never seen it in any third-party apps either, so users will probably be confused.
If you add more than five items to the viewControllers property, the
tab bar controller automatically inserts a special view controller
(called the More view controller) to handle the display of the
additional items. The More view controller provides a custom interface
that lists the additional view controllers in a table, which can
expand to accommodate any number of view controllers. The More view
controller cannot be customized or selected and does not appear in any
of the view controller lists managed by the tab bar controller. For
the most part, it appears automatically when it is needed and is
separate from your custom content. You can get a reference to it
though by accessing the moreNavigationController property of
UITabBarController.
Also refer this link for a possible workaround!
You can use any open source custom UITabbarControler or can create your own.

I am trying to embed a Tabbar in the Detail side of a Split View Controller. The way I have done is that in the Storyboard I have the TabBarController as the DetailViewController and from there I have a couple of Navigation Controllers hooked to views ( separate tabs which are of type DetailViewController).
The problem I am facing is that out of two tabs which I have added, only one tab shows the button for showing the Master view in the Portrait mode.
I am new to iOS development, and would deeply appreciate any help towards solving this.
Thank you for your time.
From the documentation for the UITabBarController: "When deploying a tab bar interface, you must install this view as the root of your window. Unlike other view controllers, a tab bar interface should never be installed as a child of another view controller."
