The isEnabled property on UITabBarItem no longer disables tab bar items as expected in iOS 18. Setting tabBarItem.isEnabled = false on a view controller has no visual or functional effect - the tab remains interactive and doesn't show the disabled state.

Same problem here.
Any solution on this so far?
I can hardly imagine Apple removed a disabled tab bar item property?
