To apply the scroll edge effect to a UITableView
in UIKit using Swift, you can follow the guidance provided in the session "Build a UIKit app with the new design" from WWDC 2025. The scroll edge effect is a visual treatment that enhances the legibility of content overlapping with UI elements like navigation bars or toolbars.
Here's a brief overview of how you can implement this:
-
Create a Scroll Edge Element Container Interaction: This is used to insert an edge effect behind elements that overlay the edge of a scroll view.
-
Assign the Content ScrollView and Edge: You need to assign your
UITableView
(or any scroll view) to the scroll edge element container interaction. -
Add to the Container View: Finally, add this interaction to the container view that holds the elements you want to overlay.
For more detailed instructions, you can refer to the session Build a UIKit app with the new design (10:56) where this topic is discussed.
