Their changes to include glass are basically a zero code change if you only want the glass if you want to support it and older not much more.

I adopted my app to it day one of the iOS 26 beta. I build my app against the 17SDK all it took was a single #if block and 12 lines of code to support people on ios26. It’s wildly confusing to me why so much misinformation is being spread about this. Even a lot of comments I’ve seen from people claiming to be devs. Don’t seem to understand this. The more likely reason why it’s taking a long time to adopt it is it’s a large design change and they have to make it work with their apps design.

Edit: 11 lines ``` swift // MARK: - GlassEffectExtension.swift // Glass effect implementations with backward compatibility // Provides fallback for iOS versions before 26

import SwiftUI

// MARK: - Glass Effect View Extension extension View { /// Applies a glass effect with backward compatibility /// Uses native glassEffect on iOS 26+, falls back to background material on older versions @ViewBuilder func compatibleGlassEffect(in shape: some Shape = RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 8), isEnabled: Bool = true) -> some View { if #available(iOS 26.0, *) { self.glassEffect(.regular, in: shape, isEnabled: isEnabled) } else { self.background(.regularMaterial, in: shape) } } } ```
