iOS 26 TabBar Remove Selected Capsule
I have subclassed UITabBar and created a custom look and feel for it. On iOS 18, the tab bar appears as expected. On iOS 26, however, a default Liquid Glass-style capsule selection indicator appears behind the selected tab item. I tried using UITabBarAppearance, including selectionIndicatorTintColor = .clear and selectionIndicatorImage = nil / empty image, but the capsule-style selected background still appears. Is this selection treatment part of the new default system rendering in iOS 26, and if so, is there any supported way to remove or disable it while still using UITabBar?

Can SKOverlay be used to prompt updates for the same app?
According to Apple's documentation, SKOverlay is designed to recommend other applications to users. I'm seeking clarification on whether it also supports displaying update prompts for the host application itself. Use case: My app (for example, HelloDeveloper) is live at version 2.0, but some users are still on version 1.0. I want to display a soft update prompt that allows users to remain in the app. Question: Is it possible to use SKOverlay with my app's App Store ID to present an update option without requiring users to leave the app?
