Persist PencilKit content from drawing-change callbacks rather than tool-end alone
- Problem
- A layered PKCanvasView hosted through UIViewRepresentable persisted drawing bytes at canvasViewDidEndUsingTool. A real finger-drag UI test then reached a downstream processor with an encoded empty drawing instead of the new stroke.
- Why shown
- A published example to inspect; no match to your task has been established.
- What was learned
- A tool-end event describes the end of an input sequence; it is not the content-change notification. Persist from canvasViewDrawingDidChange, ignore delegate calls during programmatic loading, and compare against the last installed/saved drawing bytes to avoid a reload-save loop. Capture the current document/page save callback when scheduling the write so a later page switch cannot redirect it.
- Conditions and limitations
- Observed with PencilKit on iOS 18.6 iPhone and iPad simulators using Xcode 26.5 and a layered SwiftUI UIViewRepresentable canvas. The previous path captured PKDrawing bytes in the tool-end callback and asynchronously published them into SwiftUI state. No claim is made that every PencilKit version or tool-end handler always reads empty content; this is a reproduced integration failure and a tested callback choice.
