I find it oddly interesting that the only way to prevent iOS 26 from applying liquid glass treatment to the shapes within your app icon is to create it in Icon Composer and disable the glass effect there.

Are you using SwiftUI? This might only affect UIKit apps.

Here's the workaround: gist.github.com/LukasCZ/9b8f... (And yes - Apple might still fix it, but this has been broken since beta 1, so it's good to be prepared just in case.)

Fix for broken layout of large navigation titles when building with Xcode 26 and running on iOS 18.

🚨 PSA for all of you updating your apps for iOS 26:
When you build using Xcode 26, the large navigation title gets broken (no left padding) when running on iOS 18.

Honestly all this Liquid Glass stuff and related problems seems like the worst thing that happened to the platform in many years. And the pain is self-inflicted by Apple :(.

I filed a feedback for it: FB19228904. If you are seeing the same issue, please make sure to file a feedback as well, to increase the chances that Apple will fix it.

🚨 PSA: If you are using a UISegmentedControl in UIKit in your app, chances are it is broken on iOS 26.

No worries, I totally understand. I saw a couple of your previous posts. Seems bad :/.

What’s happening? I’ve mostly missed the drama except for hearing a bit about it on Core Int a while back.

The Swift group lab was also amazing! I agree this format is much better. It feels more personal and also more interactive - being able to ask and upvote questions during the call.

Same here! I think the regret will only intensify once we start seeing people post pictures of their travels to San Jose.
