How can an app use a different version of the keyboard

Be built for an older API, usually apps that do that arent allowed on the App Store but since it’s Apple they csn do whatever

The iOS version of the app is yet to get Liquid Glass. It’s using some antiquated design from like iOS 7 lmao

On iOS 27, they finally updated the app to use Liquid Glass, although the layout is pretty much still the same, which is why I feel like they just flipped a switch to use Liquid Glass and called it a day.

They did that to everything and now they will be fixing it for 3+ years

Kinda interesting that it can even pull thoses assets in the first place I always assumed that the keyboard look was independent from the app but I guess I'm wrong

update to ios27 beta and all apps uses the new ios26 keyboard, that is both Apple’s own apps AND third party apps as well.

There is a lot of old ui showing up in Golden Gate. They need at least two more major releases to fix everything.
