To set the initially active selected or found item in a find session in UIKit, you can use the new fluid transitions and view controller lifecycle callbacks. Specifically, you can manage the state during transitions by using the viewDidAppear or viewDidDisappear methods to reset the state. This ensures that the state is correctly managed at the end of the transition.

For more detailed guidance on handling transitions and state in UIKit, you can refer to the session Enhance your UI animations and transitions starting at the "Additional tips for UIKit" chapter.
