@ThatAppleUser_ @Blizzr_ It was never there to be removed …

[XITRIX @X1TRIX]

@mecid As far as I can see triggering cancelation isRunning never going back to false

[XITRIX @X1TRIX]

@vistar941 So funny that I was doing EXACTLY the same as what they did in this extension for years.
Glad they finally standardized this approach.

@mf_drew_ @byfloperillat No, if you have BaseViewController 🙃

With a bit of UIKit Jiggery-Pokery™ you can display arbitrary views as the content of a segmented control’s segments. In this case, a _UIHostingView featuring SwiftUI Text with an animated numeric content transition.

Although probably doable _with_, no private APIs used here!

[Seb Vidal @SebJVidal]

PSA, UIScrollView has two private methods for getting the minimum and maximum content offset values, _minimumContentOffset and _maximumContentOffset.

Super helpful if you're trying to scroll to the very top/bottom of your content...

[Seb Vidal @SebJVidal]

Sooo I guess this a thing that I'm doing now... 🤷‍♂️

[Seb Vidal @SebJVidal]

Woah...! Also new in 26.1 is a whole new UIVisualEffect subclass, UIColorEffect! It has a single effectWithColor: initialiser.

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Hardly revolutionary but means the QT'ed behaviour is officially supported, rather than a nasty hack.

Can just set the sheet presentation controller's background effect to UIColorEffect(color: .clear).

[Seb Vidal @SebJVidal]

Got some questions about disabling the Liquid Glass to solid colour background transition in sheets. The answer, of course, lies in private UISheetPresentationController API.

Call the _setLargeBackground: method, passing in an instance of _UIViewGlass (variant 0, flexible true)

Apps should be more colorful! 🌈

This is one of my favorite tricks from Dream Machine - for just +75 bytes you get beautiful colors, animatable gradients and super fasts blurs 😊 (1/6)

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.

@StewartLynch It’s not simulator only, on real device there are problems with appearance in dark mode here and there, iOS 26 starting from beta 3 constantly drawing UI elements in light mode instead of dark

Ooh here's a fun one! 👀

UISheetPresentationController.Detent has a private _fullDetent method that, when applied to a UISheetPresentationController's detents array, enables switching between a sheet and a full screen modal with a gesture...

Super clean interaction!

[ビスター(Vistar) @vistar941]

Here’s a native API that powers auto-scrolling **Marquee Labels** — the same effect used in Apple Music’s Now Playing screen. Sadly, it’s a private API, but I’ve attached sample code snippets for both UIKit and SwiftUI👇

[aether @AetherAurelia]

new package ⚡ MenuWithAView – a SwiftUI package that lets you add an accessory view to your context menu interactions in addition to the standard menu content, using UIKit's private _UIContextMenuAccessoryView.

Neat update for Portal 🌀

.portalTransition now takes in item, meaning you can trigger transitions using the same declarative, data-driven pattern as SwiftUI's .sheet(item:...)

This enables one .portalTransition modifier to dynamically manage animations for numerous source items, eliminating the need to define separate transitions for each.

Dropped a new article over on my blog 👀

First post of 2025 and we’re exploring a _bunch_ of private UIAlertController APIs:
– Header view controller.
– Content view controller.
– Separated header view controller.
– Action with content view controller.
