I've been testing the safeAreaBar modifier to develop a custom tab bar. From my understanding, this should enable the .scrollEdgeEffectStyle to work with this bar, but I don't see any effect.

Could you please clarify the difference between safeAreaBar and safeAreaInset?

There’s a known issue with safeAreaBar on the beta builds and the engineering team is investigating it.

You are correct in saying that the safeAreaBar modifier additionally adjusts the scroll edge effect. However, I believe that this modifier is currently broken (as of beta 2), because its behaviour seems to be no different to using safeAreaInset. I have filed feedback for this: FB18350439.

Any update on this? Still not having any luck in Beta 4 getting this to work. I've also not seen it mentioned as fixed or as a known issue in the release notes....
