Device Hub window shows different colors than the device, but screenshots are correct
The live Device Hub window shows my app's colors differently from a physical iPhone. The pixel values themselves are correct: a screenshot taken in Device Hub has the same colors as the device. Only the live window looks different — [e.g. more washed out / more saturated]. It happens in every project I've tried, including ones that use only plain sRGB colors and sRGB image assets, so it doesn't look app-specific. Setup Xcode 27.0 (27A266a) MacBook Pro, Apple M4 Max Built-in Liquid Retina XDR display (default "Color LCD" profile) and an external BenQ PD2705UA Simulated devices: iPhone 13 mini (iOS 26.1) and iPhone 14 (iOS 26.5) What I've ruled out Same result on both the built-in display and the external monitor True Tone and Night Shift are off on the Mac The simulated device is in light mode, with Increase Contrast, Invert Colors and Grayscale off The Device Hub screenshot matches the physical iPhone, so the rendered pixels are correct Questions Is the Device Hub window color-managed for the Mac's display, or is this expected behavior? Is there a setting to make the live window show accurate colors?
