Grow Insights for iOS 26

Overview

A UIKit-based technical demonstration project showcasing practical solutions for specific UI/UX implementation scenarios. Built from real-world experience with Grow, this demo demonstrates how to handle advanced interface challenges using primarily UIKit, enhanced with SwiftUI where appropriate.

Key Demonstrations

• Popover Menu with Morph Effect: Using popoverPresentationController to implement custom menu content in UIKit, featuring a month/year wheel picker
• UIBarButtonItem Sizing: Handling dynamic content sizing with UIHostingController and Auto Layout priorities in navigation bars
• Scroll Edge Effect Control: Comparing real supplementary headers vs. independent views to control iOS 26 edge blur behaviors
• Liquid Glass Text Shape: Converting text to glyph paths with CoreText for custom glass material effects
