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 👇

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)

Why are we _still_ talking about MVVM?.

Nice to know that _even_ Apple struggle with self-sizing collection view cells! 😅

Further iOS 26-ification of Duet. Spent a bit of time updating the map detail view. The title labels do feel comedically large compared to their iOS 18 counterparts, but I'm staying faithful to the original Messages component. 🤷‍♂️

Sorry to be that Twitter grifter who leaves the link in the replies but this took ages and I have no shame!

The workaround is to subclass UIContextMenuInteraction and implement _delegate_getAccessoryViewsForConfiguration: returning the accessory views from there. You can even implement this method dynamically at runtime to avoid a potential App Review rejection.

So. uh. I don't know how much my article influenced this change, but it looks like UIContextMenuInteraction now checks for a " prefix in your bundle identifier before calling _contextMenuInteraction:accessoriesForMenuWithConfiguration: 😅

Ok but more importantly when is Apple gonna expose _UICustomViewMenuElement??.

Coming Soon™ 👀

Quick sanity check. Are UISlider's track configuration APIs not working for anyone else?. The enabledRange's upper bound works, but not its lower bound, and UISlider.TrackConfiguration.Tick's `title` and `image` properties seem to do nothing right now. Maybe a WIP?.
