VisionKit – Tab Bar Button Titles Not Visible and Extra Back Button in iPad Landscape Mode

Description

We observed multiple UI issues in VisionKit (VNDocumentCameraViewController) on iPad devices running iPadOS 26 (from Public Beta 4 onwards):

Tab bar button titles are not properly visible due to color/contrast issues.

An extra back button appears in the navigation bar when editing a captured image in landscape mode.

These issues seem to be iPadOS 26 bugs, as Apple does not provide public APIs to customize or override VNDocumentCameraViewController. VisionKit relies on private ICDocCam* classes, which are not accessible for modification.

Steps to Reproduce

Open the app on an iPad running iPadOS 26 (Public Beta 4 or later).

Switch the device to landscape mode.

Launch document scanning using VNDocumentCameraViewController.

Capture a document and tap Keep Scan.

Go to the edit captured image screen.

Observed Behavior:

Tab bar button titles are not clearly visible (color/contrast issue).

An extra back button is displayed in the navigation bar.
