The only workaround I’ve found is to use a text-only menu button label. That lets the tip display correctly on iOS 26 (see below). This release has (or had) quite a few toolbar-related bugs and most seem related to icon-only buttons. Along with this issue, here are three others I've reported: issue 1, issue 2, and issue 3. In my app, I've left the icon-only button hoping it gets fixed soon. The actual tip I display is not critical, and a text-only label just looks "off"—especially since Apple officially designates the ellipsis symbol as the standard for More (Apple Design link). Workaround Starting with the code in the first post, just change the Label() in the ToolbarItem to Text() like this: ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarTrailing) { Menu { Button("Dismiss", role: .cancel) { } Button("Do Nothing") { } } label: { Text("More") } .popoverTip(tip) } Screenshot Description: iPhone simulator running iOS 26.1 showing a popover labeled Menu Tip. The popover beak is pointing to a toolbar button labeled More.

@DTS Engineer Thanks for letting me know! In the meantime I found this workaround: custom SF symbols will center correctly when the button label is declared like this: ToolbarItem { Button(action: { }) { Label { Text("More") } icon: { Image("ellipsis.badge.90.10") } } } But that’s a bit cumbersome. It’d be better if worked with any valid button declaration.

This seems to have been fixed in macOS 26.2 (25C56)! 🙌

@DTS Engineer Thanks for the suggestion. I did try hiding the system back button and replacing it with a custom toolbar button. However, that disables the left-edge swipe gesture, which felt like a worse tradeoff. Most people expect swipe-to-go-back, so a mismatched toolbar button seemed like the lesser issue. Unless there’s a way to preserve the swipe gesture while using a custom back button, I’ll just hope for a fix.

Since I hadn’t received replies yet, I did some additional research. I had Gemini do a deep dive based on my original post and it suggested that StoreKit 2 might support a cleaner time-limited trial → one-time purchase flow without the $0 IAP step. Here's the (lengthy) report, including proposed solution towards the end: https://gemini.google.com/share/099cf0140311 That initially seemed promising, but App Store Review Guideline 3.1.1 still explicitly calls out the $0 non-consumable “XX-day Trial” approach. While the StoreKit 2 method seems to follow the spirit of the guideline (if clearly communicated), it’s not clear whether it’s actually allowed—and I’m not willing to risk App Review rejection after investing significant work. So I’m hoping for clarification from Apple: Is the $0 non-consumable IAP still the recommended approach in 2026? Are alternative StoreKit 2–based trial → one-time purchase flows allowed? Would really appreciate updated guidance here. 🙏

Looping back to mark this as resolved. Not sure when it was fixed, but it doesn't repro on iOS 26.2.1 (23C71).
