What other changes does UIDesignRequiresCompatibility YES create on Capacitor app UI?
Docs aren't exactly clear on that https://developer.apple.com/documentation/BundleResources/Information-Property-List/UIDesignRequiresCompatibility - It makes the app look like it was run on iOS 18? Disables Liquid Glass (which I guess Ionic doesn't support yet), and...?
Also there's this

Temporarily use this key while reviewing and refining your app’s UI for the design in the latest SDKs.
Which makes this seem like it won't be a solution forever, probably won't work on 27?

Yeah, the problem is that Capacitor itself isn't SwiftUI yet, so we can't support some of the more intricate controls available for iOS 26. Changing that should be one of our goals for Capacitor 9 to get ahead of iOS 27.
The docs aren't clear, but since this was introduced in iOS26, I'm going to strongly assume the "compatibility" mode means disabling some assumptions in Liquid Glass that might be a problem if you haven't fully adopted it in your designs yet. The blast radius of that setting shouldn't be that wide.

Makes sense, not much to do for right now then, but hopefully soon heh

Yeah, maybe we want to remove the storyboard and use very minimal SwiftUI in Cap 9 or 10?

Maybe we should call this a temporary workaround here?
