To apply a tint to .glassEffect in a UIKit app, you can create a new UI glass effect and assign a custom tint color. Here's a general approach based on the context provided:

  1. Create a new UI glass effect.
  2. Assign a custom tint color to it.
  3. Animate the effect if needed.

Here's a code snippet to illustrate this:

let glassEffect = UIBlurEffect(style: .systemMaterial)
let visualEffectView = UIVisualEffectView(effect: glassEffect)
visualEffectView.tintColor = UIColor.systemBlue // Set your desired tint color

This code sets up a UIVisualEffectView with a glass effect and applies a tint color to it. You can animate changes to the tint color alongside other properties if needed. For more detailed guidance, you might want to refer to the session Build a UIKit app with the new design (20:38) where they discuss using custom tint colors with glass effects.
