Yes, you can add visionOS-like views with glass effects in an iOS app using SwiftUI. SwiftUI provides a range of tools and APIs that allow you to create custom views and effects, including the ability to apply custom metal shaders directly to SwiftUI views. This capability is mentioned in the SwiftUI essentials session, where it discusses using low-level control to create unique experiences, such as applying graphics tricks and metal shaders to achieve desired visual effects.

Additionally, SwiftUI's interoperability with other frameworks, such as UIKit, allows for even more customization and integration of advanced visual effects. This is highlighted in the Platforms State of the Union session, which mentions the deep integration of UI frameworks and the ability to use gesture recognizers and animations across different view hierarchies.

By leveraging these capabilities, you can create visually rich and interactive views similar to those found in visionOS.
