Here it is! What's New in UIKit in iOS 26. This was a pretty mammoth undertaking, and it shows – a whopping 64 minute read! I'll be keeping this article up to date over the beta cycle. Possibly littered with errors. Shout at me if I've made any stupid mistakes. Link below 👇

It’s not pretty…but I’d recommend wrapping your SwiftUI view in a UIHostingController and adjusting the hosting controllers additionalSafeAreaInsets by whatever the height of the button overlay is. If it’s just a button overlay, I’d even consider just using a UIButton here so you can easily read frame during layout passes, and adjust insets accordingly.

In SwiftUI, how to have a content always visible at the bottom of the screen (like the Apple Music mini player or an onboarding "next" button)? safeAreaInset/safeAreaBar modifier on a NavigationStack does not update the stack content inset. FB23732628 github.com/feedback-assis…

@No_Wham @swift_leeds @KotlinLeeds Wait…you’re on the Swift Leeds internal team??

I've been a part of the @swift_leeds team for 3 years it started after i visited the conf, absolutely fell in love with the vibe, the atmosphere, the people and the community it makes me immensely proud to be one of the speakers on the very first @KotlinLeeds See you there 🫶

@Dimillian @nathantannar4 iMessage is doing Something Custom™ 🫠

@nathantannar4 Much better IMO. iMessage is a good example.

Since Apple seems to not back down on the iOS 27 navigation bar, I’m doing the .soft force myself in the code. This is really a crazy change if they ship that in iOS 27 final. Usually, they don't change the look of apps not compiled with the new SDK. Very sloppy.

This was one UIViewController subclass to SwiftUI View 😌

@No_Wham Receipts.

@SebJVidal Workout mode being on tells me a lot

Pretty impressive that UIKit ✨heuristics✨ and Siri’s new on-screen awareness gives you this behaviour entirely for free. To be clear, I did not write a single line of code to get this working. The “Ask Siri” menu element just appeared after updating to iOS 27! Featuring @polpielladev 😉

@Cyclebrity Honestly never met anyone so dedicated to a cause. Colour me impressed.

@SebJVidal Looks like the ScreenRenderer proposed several years ago but got stripped down to ImageRenderer

@checkedz Tell me you know nothing about iOS without telling me you know nothing about iOS...

@SebJVidal Why do you need to write a code to use iOS features? literally no one thought you wrote a code for that. 🤦🏾‍♂️

@theremster First tweet since 2023!

@SebJVidal 😆

@mattcassinelli You joke, but…

@SebJVidal “Sorry, I’m not seeing anyone handsome on the left” 😋

@DylanMcD8 @The1UX Of course, that’s not the case anymore. But updates with silent push notifications should have been available on launch.

@DylanMcD8 @The1UX I’m scared to disagree with you…but Apple shipping the Live Activity API without a reliable way to keep the activity…live… 😬

Live activity in IOS is a lie? See in app it says 1min but in island its 23min, why apple 😭😭

@No_Wham Thank you Dee team!

Weekend testing is going GREAT thanks

@squeakytoy @insidethegroove Glad it’s not just me!

@insidethegroove I have seen so many awful mashups over the past week with enthusiastic replies. I think a larger percentage of people are tone deaf than I realized.

I know people love doing stuff like this, but the two songs are in different keys and it sounds like a tinnitus-induced migraine to me.

@vistar941 Its spirit lives on 🫡

@SebJVidal Cocoa Touch, now that’s a name I haven't heard in ages.

Just catching up on a few dub dub sessions...

@guitaripod Just watching it to feel something

@SebJVidal don't do that use this: github.com/guitaripod/wwd…

Feels like this might be relevant? I don't know...

@gooodtomeetyou @wiedymi Honestly, I’d just use _UILiquidLensView. Telegram on iOS does this and app review didn’t seem to have a problem.

@wiedymi @SebJVidal any idea of how to implement this native AppKit/SwiftUI UILiquidLensView on any view? I currently got it implemented through a Catalyst view (using UIKit) but it lacks _UIFlexInteraction jelly physics and I had to implement these by myself 😅

I really like new glass in macos 27 so fun to play with it ><

@VincentLoi1204 Nice!! Editor should be the default though 🫠

Thank god, this was so annoying.
