To create a dynamic status bar, you can explore the new features and APIs introduced in iPadOS 18, which enhance the tab bar and sidebar experience. The tab bar has been refreshed with a new compact look, and it can now optionally be displayed as a sidebar. This allows for a more integrated appearance and supports user customization, enabling users to personalize their app experience by showing, hiding, or reordering tabs.
For more detailed guidance on implementing these features, you can refer to the session titled "Elevate your tab and sidebar experience in iPadOS" from WWDC 2024. This session covers the adoption of the new tab bar and sidebar, supporting user customization, and building for a multi-platform experience.
If you are interested in specific implementation details, you might want to check out the chapter on "Tab bar and sidebar refresh" in the same session. Here is the link to the session for more information.
