_UIPopoverView, the private class responsible for rendering popover view controllers' chrome, got a glow up in iOS 27 beta 5 with a more...liquid?...Liquid Glass transition.
Appears to be using the same blobby animation trickery as _UIContextMenuView.
Looks fantastic!
Good news and bad news for fans of the old variable blur navigation bar background, Apple have added 3 new styles in iOS 27...buuut they're private 🫠
UIScrollEdgeEffectStyle has gained three new class methods: _photosStyle, _messagesStyle, and _safariStyle.
The Photos and Messages styles are pretty similar, but photos has a more aggressive gradient scrim. The Safari style is indistinguishable from the public hard style to my eye.
As iOS apps become fully resizable, our layouts have to handle many more combinations of width and height. My new post explores how we can use SwiftUI’s onGeometryChange() to apply custom layout rules without updating state for every measurement: https://t.co/8ty6A3SALy
Did you know that Xcode 27 can generate multiple SwiftUI preview variants from a single array?
With Preview(arguments:), every fixture becomes an independently selectable state in Canvas — without duplicate previews or a VStack

Claude Code on desktop now works with the iOS simulator.
Build and run your iOS app, and the simulator opens in a panel right next to your conversation. Available today in public beta.
It took Apple 15 years to add the Markdown UTI to the iOS SDK. Fascinating nit given how Markdown shaped the world of documents

Even better, I have a new flow I think anyone can benefit from. Basically, use an agent to watch that dub dub session, and point it back to your app and ask it for suggestions using techniques from that session.
And it finds *tons* of good suggestions: https://t.co/L44OG61ijR
New in iOS 27: iPhone apps can opt to have their tab bar convert into a side bar menu when enough space is available.
(definitely not connected to an upcoming iPhone fold 😏)
The UIKit API for navigation bar minimization announced at WWDC is now available in Beta 3!!
It’s called UIBarMinimization and lets you configure minimization, restoration, and safe area behavior together.
And yes, there’s an Objective-C API too 🙌
Every iPhone with an A12 or A13 chip - XS/XR, 11, 2020 SE - has an unpatchable SecureROM exploit. The root bug is in Synopsys’s USB controller, and is exploitable. Requires physical access. Solution: buy a new iPhone. https://t.co/xF1JIJrEke
