We use SwiftUI's .tabViewBottomAccessory in our iOS apps for displaying an Audio MiniPlayer View (like in the Apple Music App).
TabView(selection: $viewModel.selectedTab) {
// Tabs here
}
.tabViewBottomAccessory {
if viewModel.showAudioMiniPlayer {
MiniPlayerView()
}
}
The Problem
This code works perfectly on iOS 26.0. When 'viewModel.showAudioMiniPlayer' is 'false', the accessory is completely hidden.
However, on iOS 26.1 (23B5059e), when 'viewModel.showAudioMiniPlayer' is 'false', the MiniPlayerView disappears, but an empty container remains, leaving a blank space above the tab bar.
Is this a known Bug in iOS 26.1 and are there any effective workarounds or should I just wait until Apple fixed it?
