Hello everyone,
I'm developing a SwiftUI app that includes a fullscreen video player (AVPlayerViewController or AVPlayerLayer). I'm currently testing the app on an iPhone 16 Pro running iOS 26 Beta, as well as on the corresponding simulator.
With iOS 26, during video playback, an unexpected black or white glow/halo appears around the video, depending on the system appearance (dark/light mode). However, this issue does not occur when testing on iOS 18 — neither on device nor simulator.
Has anyone encountered this issue? Is there any known workaround or solution to remove this visual effect on iOS 26?
I've attached screenshot below to illustrate the problem.
Thank you in advance for your help!
