I noticed the same thing — the animation shown in the video doesn’t happen when using: UIView.animate { effectView.effect = nil } I’ve filed a bug report with Apple for this, and I’d recommend you do the same so it gets more attention.

Thanks for confirming! I’ve filed a feedback report. My FB ID is FB19397537.

Seems to be fixed in iOS 26.1 beta 1. 🎉

I have the same issue and filed a bug report already: FB22324179 Since updating to iOS 26.4, iCloud remote notifications (CloudKit push notifications) are no longer delivered. The same setup worked reliably on iOS 26.3 without any changes to the app or server configuration, so this a new regression from Apple. didReceiveRemoteNotification: in AppDelegate gets not called anymore.
