Anecdotes from a Liquid Glass workshop with Apple teams & dev relations:

• Liquid Glass is not gonna be rolled back, Apple loves it, and thinks y'all are crazy
• << those who don’t adopt it now “are gonna find themselves in a tough position later.”>>
• "Xcode 27 will absolutely not have the [UIDesignRequiresCompatibility] flag, and it will not respect it if you leave it there"

The source blog reeks of LLM-speak, but I think that's just the writer's choice

Talking Liquid Glass with Apple

I spent three days talking Liquid Glass with Apple in NYC. Here’s what you need to know.

@stroughtonsmith It makes sense that Apple isn't going to 180 on Liquid Glass after one year, but if the reaction is truly "genuine shock" that people don't like it… that's an extremely bad sign. I have to assume this person is poorly relating PR-isms, not that Apple is so insular and thick to be unaware of the outside world. Right?

@gavinanderegg @stroughtonsmith I had the same reaction to that. I find it hard to believe that they are so insular that they are completely unaware of the negative reception Liquid Glass has received amongst developers and people who care about UI.
