SwiftUI Liquid Glass

Liquid Glass is the dynamic translucent material introduced in iOS 26 (and iPadOS 26, macOS 26, tvOS 26, watchOS 26). It blurs content behind it, reflects surrounding color and light, and reacts to touch and pointer interactions. Standard SwiftUI components (tab bars, toolbars, navigation bars, sheets) adopt Liquid Glass automatically when built with the iOS 26 SDK. Use the APIs below for custom views and controls.

See references/liquid-glass.md for the full API reference with additional examples.
