Is there a regression in SwiftUI's List component when items are updated as a result of a swipeAction? Am I making some silly mistake in this sample code? I checked UICollectionView (with list layout) and UITableView, and they work fine.
Built under Xcode 26, running on iOS 26 (device and simulator).

Fixed in beta 5. Much appreciated!

Key thing I want is to move the search bar (button) to the bottom for better platform fit in iOS 26. Probably, the tab bar is the natural way to accomplish this, and have it co-exist with a miniplayer. But jikes.

Tab bar and its accessory view remain problematic in beta 5. Janktown. I'm conflicted re: how to adopt liquid glass in Updates (https://apps.apple.com/app/id6737241203).

@stephenrobles I have zero apps on my home screen! I have 4 medium info widgets and one large Siri suggestions that covers 8 apps. The rest are reachable through dock/App Library/search.

The iOS 26 tab bar is not getting enough attention. IMHO, it’s way too busy. The way it’s shifting shapes and toggling between dark and light materials. WDYT?

I’m hoping the Xcode team will reconsider the choice of making the Console background extend underneath the Navigator area. IMHO, it looks very odd and is harmful to legibility of the Navigator content.

I can understand the desire to make the UI feel immersive by extending user content underneath, but this is just a black Console background (not a, say, photo from a family vacation). Making it ”front and center” is misguided IMHO.
