Fellow iOS developers, can you tell me how to make UIDatePicker usable on iOS 26?
UIDatePicker unusable on iOS 26
I’m experiencing the exact same issue, and it might be connected to the dark appearance bug already being discussed here: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/794234
I’d recommend filing a bug report if you haven’t already.
Filed a bug report now: FB19065133. This needs Apple's attention.
I’m also experiencing the exact same issue in the UIDatePicker in dark mode, this is still present in BETA4.
Also for any UITextField in a cell or UISearchController in the toolbar in dark mode, I noticed that the "Cut/Copy/Paste" popover-box shows black text for most of the options, i.e. 'Paste' will be white, but the other options are black, same behavior as the UIDatePicker in the screenshot.
It seems that any gray text is rendered black in dark mode, making it unreadable.
