Stumbled on this issue myself, can confirm that it is different from how it was handled in iOS 14. I've filed a feedback ticket FB9273852 with the project and video recording of the issue.

Stumbled on this issue myself, can confirm that it is different from how it was handled in iOS 14. I've filed a feedback ticket FB9273852 with the project and video recording of the issue. The code I'm using in the sample to set appearance of each child view controller: override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() let barAppearance = UINavigationBarAppearance() barAppearance.backgroundColor = .green navigationItem.standardAppearance = barAppearance navigationItem.scrollEdgeAppearance = barAppearance }
