We've got the API in beta 3! Yay! https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/glass/clear

That is a "regular" effect where the background is blurred. The "clear" effect does not blur the background, except around the edges. The "clear" effect is seen on controls like the tab control, the slider or switches when you drag it, etc. Or, when you pull down the notification center from your home screen. Here, you will clearly see the app icons behind the glass, except around the edges.

Turned out the problem doesn't occur on the actual device running iOS 26. Maybe they will fix the Simulator in the future beta.

I was just wondering about this, too! I’d like to use the clear type to re-create a visual effect similar to the see-through effect you get when touch-and-holding controls like UISwitch or UISlider.

Apparently this was my mistake. I was calling WKApplication.shared().scheduleBackgroundRefresh() in MainViewModel.init(), but if I call it in applicationDidBecomeActive(), everything seems to be working!

This problem is solved in Xcode 14 Beta 4/macOS Ventura beta 4.

It works like a charm! Thank you!

Thanks, but what about the case in my example, where we need to create this view multiple times in a ForEach statement?

It worked like a charm! Thank you!
