Code reviewed, tested and approved.
LGTM
Details:
I reviewed the change and looked up what this boolean does.
It is provided by Apple to disable Liquid Glass, but is intended for temporary use while developers update and refine their app's UI. The option is expected to be removed in a future Xcode version, likely Xcode 27.
Given that several of the UI features in Loop do not work well with liquid glass, this gives us time to make proper updates.

Looks good for now. Wish Apple would have handled this differently though.

Thanks; I think this works as a stopgap, but the longer term fix is to fix the usability issues that arose with recent iOS updates, and still retain as much of the system design idioms as we can. |

Agreed. I hope we take this opportunity to update the UI as you suggest. |










This just prevents Liquid Glass from being used when built to iOS 26 from Xcode 26, to keep Loop's UI consistent with prior iOS versions.
