Sorry Greg, but how is the solution of @B4DG3R brittle and relying on implementation details? The documentation of func hitTest(_ point: CGPoint, with event: UIEvent?) -> UIView? clearly states it returns "The view object that’s the farthest descendent of the current view and contains point." In iOS 18 it doesn't do that and instead returning the root view. What's the purpose of the hitTest function when it's sole purpose cannot be relied upon?

That doesn't really help. Xcode constantly struggles with point updates. Even if there is device support for newer iOS versions. I never ever experienced a seamless minor update to the latest iOS version if Xcode does not have the proper files. Only patch updates do not seem to cause trouble. If i see Apple pushes out a new iOS version without an accompanying Xcode update i don't update my device as this just screams trouble.
