Yes, Liquid Glass can be used with UIKit. In the session titled "Build a UIKit app with the new design," it is explained that UIKit offers APIs to adopt the new Liquid Glass look and feel. Liquid Glass is designed to be an interactive layer that floats above your content, providing the main controls that the user touches. It is distinct from other visual effects like UI Blur Effect and is meant to be used for the most important elements of your app. You can create a UI Visual Effect view and use a UI Glass Effect to apply Liquid Glass to custom views. For more details, you can refer to the session Build a UIKit app with the new design (19:15).
