Tab Bar color different on iOS 14 and iOS 15

I'm using the newest version of Xcode.

My iOS app is build with a Tab Bar Controller. The main Views of the View Controllers that are connected to the Tab Bar Controller have a green Background color. This will make the menu bar at the top (with time, network …) green and will make the Tab Bar have a slight green touch, on iOS 14, like this:

iOS 14

But since iOS 15 the Tab Bar is fully green instead of translucent with a green touch. It looks like this:

iOS 15

Why that? How can I have the same effect on iOS 15 as on iOS 14.

Solution

  • Swift:

    UserDefaults.standard.set(false, forKey: "UIBarsApplyChromelessEverywhere")

    Objective-C:

    [NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults setBool:NO forKey:@"UIBarsApplyChromelessEverywhere"];

    This will also fix UINavigationBar and UIToolbar.
