Yes, you can opt out of using Liquid Glass in your app's design. When you rebuild your app with Xcode 26, standard controls will automatically be rendered with the new design and materials. However, you have the option to continue using your app's current design with Xcode 26. This option is intended to be temporary and is expected to be removed in the next major update. This information was discussed in the Platforms State of the Union session.
