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?
