iOS 26 | UIBarButtonItem UI issues with isEnabled and hidesSharedBackground

  1. UIBarButtonItem setting isEnabled = false, but the item is still tappable and animating. Is this a new UI behavior or an issue?

  2. Do the following steps:

  • On tapping on a UIBarButtonItem, disable by setting isEnabled = false and setting hidesSharedBackground = true
  • Enable the button by setting isEnabled = true and setting hidesSharedBackground = false

=> The button appears with bigger shared background is this an issue?

please find the attachments for more details.

item no.2 has been fixed - checked with 26.0 beta 7 (17A5305k)

however, item no.1 is still there:

  • disabled button is still interactive with touch events
