I'm looking for a way to display a notification badge without showing a number—essentially, just an empty badge to indicate the presence of notifications. From my research, it seems like this functionality isn't available . Is there any workaround or method to achieve this?
If you are looking for something that is not supported and you want Apple to consider the implementation or API to provide you specific functionality. I would recommend to please file an enhancement request using Feedback Assistant. Once you file the request, please post the FB number here.
If you're not familiar with how to file enhancement requests, take a look at Bug Reporting: How and Why?

Was this ever supported?
When you say notification badge with no number, is it for an element inside an interface (e.g. like an tab bar item) or do you mean the app icon itself?
