3.34.0

SendbirdUIKit

New Feature

Liquid Glass Support (iOS 26+)

SendbirdUIKit now supports Apple's Liquid Glass design introduced in iOS 26. When running on iOS 26+, liquid glass styling is applied automatically across navigation bars, message input views, alert views, menus, and channel list headers.

Opting Out

Liquid glass is enabled by default on iOS 26+. To disable it and use the classic appearance:

  SendbirdUI.config.common.isLiquidGlassEnabled = false

What's Affected
The below components have been updated to support liquid glass styling:

• Navigation bars
• Message input view
• Alert views
• Menu views (for when long-pressing messages)
• "Create channel" context menu in GroupChannelList Header

3.33.1

SendbirdUIKit

Improvements

• Blocked navigation bar update when unnecessary for better performance

Changes

• SendbirdUIKit now uses Xcode 26.2 as base Xcode version

Deprecated

• InitParams.isLocalCachingEnabled can no longer be set to false in SendbirdUI.initialize(applicationId:initParamsBuilder:startHandler:migrationHandler:completionHandler:). Local caching is now always enabled and managed internally by the SDK. If you attempt to set isLocalCachingEnabled to false via initParamsBuilder, the value will be overridden to true.

      // - Migration Guide: 
      // - Remove any code that sets isLocalCachingEnabled in your initParamsBuilder:
      
      // Before
      SendbirdUI.initialize(applicationId: APP_ID) { params in
          params?.isLocalCachingEnabled = true  // or false
          // other settings...
      }

      // After
      SendbirdUI.initialize(applicationId: APP_ID) { params in
          // isLocalCachingEnabled is managed internally - do not set it
          // other settings...
      }
