To maintain the old UI style when compiling with the iOS 26 SDK, you can use the option provided by Apple to continue using your app's current design with Xcode 26. This option is intended to give developers time to adopt the new design, but it is expected to be removed in the next major release. Therefore, it's a temporary solution to keep the old UI style.
