I filed an Apple Feedback report (FB20281983) regarding the failure of the safe area insets to immediately update on hiding or showing of the status bar on iPadOS 26. In my case this causes a toolbar whose top anchor is constrained to the view safe area layout guide top anchor to merge into the status bar area so they overlap in some use cases. Rotating the device resolves it. This doesn't happen on iPadOS 18.5.

Here's the Feedback ID for my bug report: FB18376874. Thanks.

I encountered the same issue with a UISegmentedControl in IB using Xcode 26 beta 1, but this is mostly fixed in a simple test app I created when using Xcode 26 beta 2. The first tap on an unselected segment has no effect, but thereafter the control works. However, the title of the manually selected segment is still obscured as it was with Xcode 26 beta 1.

Thanks Ixbndr! I had found that setting my watch app and WatchKit app extension deployment targets to 9.0 solved the issue, but I wanted to support watchOS 8.0. Your solution worked for me.
