are devices finally fast enough to just have a blank launch screen? I do have a loading view that is on screen for perhaps a second.
My guess is a launch screen is only needed for submission and serves no real purpose any longer?
I've lost a half hour already simply trying to update the image in my launch storyboard. I'm assuming Apple has not made info.plist launch images work correctly yet.
I either get a blank image or the old image. The new image refuses to display.
The following article provides a nice overview on using menus in SwiftUI Mac apps:

I truly don't understand how Apple can think that this looks good. The bottom blur, just like at the top, was perfect up until beta 4 where it was removed and replaced with just a fade out. #iOS26 #beta7 #SwiftUI #UIKit

Updated introductory post:
Hiya! I'm Cris, a 40+ expat living in #costarica. My family moved here recently to escape the American nightmare hellscape. Struggling daily to learn Spanish and to function outside the US.
Married with 2 kids, 2 cats, and 2 dogs. I'm a knitter and gamer. I'm slowly teaching myself #SwiftUI in my spare time. Once I'm able to ship my bass from where it's stored in the US I’ll get back to learning that as well.
I play and run TTRPGs. Mostly D&D 5e, but I'm always looking for opportunities to try out other games and systems. I prefer my video games solo and story-driven. I know I'm bad at them. I don't need any witnesses to that fact 😂
When I'm not gaming or working, I’m usually knitting while watching something scifi or horror. Trying my best to get out of the house and explore my new country, but the backlog is vast.

In iOS 26, Apple defines a new best practice for handling sheets: instead of designing custom controls, use the new button roles .close and .confirm, with no image or title required. You can see this in Apple’s own apps, like Passwords and Clock.

#SwiftUI Head-scratcher:
I want to present a Popover from a ToolbarItem. Fine, that’s easy, just attach a `.popover(isPresented:)` modifier to the ToolbarItem.
But what if the Toolbar is hidden (yes, macOS…)? Or if the ToolbarItem is in the Overflow Menu? Or if the ToolbarItem was removed from the Toolbar?
I still want to allow presenting my UI (e.g. via Main Menu/Keyboard Shortcut), but in that case I want to present it as a Sheet or detached Window.
Is there any good way to handle this? This used to be super simple and straightforward in UIKit/AppKit…
