Can no longer see navigation titles in a split view controller iOS 26 SDK

When I build my app via ios 26 sdk, I no longer see navigation titles on a split view controller. In the view hierarchy, I can still see it but its no longer rendering in the application itself. Any ideas?

Here is my view hiearchy before and after ios26. No other changes occured

A question that comes to mind is do you have a background in your navigation bar or a custom view and what information about the views is reveled in the View Hierarchy.

We need more information here to understand the issue. Are you able to reproduce the issue in a test project ?

No custom navigation bar background. Here's what the view itself looks like before and after and a code snippet of the setup if that helps. What major changes happened that could prevent this title from showing?

        navigationItem.title = L10n.Accounts.navTitle
        navigationItem.searchController = searchController
        navigationItem.hidesSearchBarWhenScrolling = false
        navigationItem.largeTitleDisplayMode = .always
        tabBarItem.title = L10n.Accounts.navTitle

        tabBarItem.badgeValue = hasMissingOrders ? "●" : nil
        tabBarItem.badgeColor = .clear
        tabBarItem.setBadgeTextAttributes([NSAttributedString.Key.foregroundColor: UIColor.M360.secondary], for: .normal)
        
        tabBarItem.selectedImage = Asset.accountsNewActive.image
        tabBarItem.image = Asset.accountsNewInactive.image
        tabBarItem.accessibilityIdentifier = AccessibilityIdentifiers.Tabs.accountsButton
    }
