The Liquid Glass effect disappeared after being released online

Hello, the Liquid Glass effect of iOS 26 was possible during development, but it disappeared after its release and launch. I haven't found the reason for this, could you please help me clarify

Use the formatting toolbar!

if #available(iOS 26.0, *) {
	let blurEffect = UIBlurEffect(style: .systemUltraThinMaterial)
	appearance.backgroundEffect = blurEffect
	tabBar.directionalLayoutMargins = .zero
	tabBar.preservesSuperviewLayoutMargins = false
	appearance.backgroundColor = .clear
	tabBar.layer.allowsEdgeAntialiasing = true
	tabBar.clipsToBounds = false
	tabBar.isTranslucent = true
}
tabBar.standardAppearance = appearance
