To temporarily disable the Liquid Glass design in your app, you can add a specific item to your app's Info.plist file. Unfortunately, the exact plist key to disable Liquid Glass is not provided in the context. However, it was mentioned in the Platforms State of the Union session that there is an option to continue using your app's current design with Xcode 26, which implies there might be a plist setting or similar configuration available. You may need to refer to the official Apple documentation or the session video for precise details.
