How to create Apple Maps style liquid glass sheets in Expo (the real way)
Blog post from Expo
In iOS 26, the behavior of the bottom sheet has evolved to include a liquid glass appearance and new transition states, offering a floating effect with visible gaps at different detents, similar to the interaction seen in Apple Maps. The text explores various methods to replicate this effect in Expo, an open-source toolchain for React applications, including using expo-swift-ui BottomSheet, Expo Router formSheet Presentation, and TrueSheet by Jovanni Lo. Each approach offers different levels of control and customization; expo-swift-ui provides a native experience still in beta, Expo Router offers a simple implementation with limitations on customization, and TrueSheet allows extensive control over animations, detents, and appearance using native APIs. While these methods can achieve the liquid glass effect, they present different challenges and suitability depending on the desired level of detail and control, catering to developers interested in advanced React Native animations and UI design.
