iOS 26: default gray background on UITabBarItem
In iOS 26, when a UITabBarItem is selected, a gray background appears behind the selected item. This seems to happen automatically with the new tab bar design. I tried configuring the tab bar using UITabBarAppearance, but the background highlight still appears. Is this the expected behavior in iOS 26 or is there a recommended way to configure the tab bar so that only the icon and title change color when selected?
