Warning
Session Replay is disabled by default on iOS 26.0+ with Xcode 26.0+ to prevent PII leaks
Due to potential masking issues introduced by Apple's Liquid Glass rendering changes in iOS 26.0, Session Replay is now automatically disabled on apps running iOS 26.0+ when built with Xcode 26.0 or later. This is a defensive measure to protect user privacy and prevent potential PII leaks until masking is reliably supported.
Session replay will work normally if:
- Your app runs on iOS versions older than 26.0, OR
- Your app is built with Xcode versions older than 26.0, OR
- Your app explicitly sets
UIDesignRequiresCompatibilitytoYESinInfo.plist
Override (use with caution): If you understand the PII risks and want to enable session replay anyway, you can set:
options.experimental.enableSessionReplayInUnreliableEnvironment = trueThis experimental override option will be removed in a future minor version once the masking issues are resolved.
Fixes
- Fix rendering method for fast view rendering (#6360)
- Session Replay masking improvements (#6292)
- Fix SwiftUI.List background decoration view causing incorrect clipping of screen content
- Fix sublayer rendering order by properly sorting by zPosition with insertion order as tie-breaker
- Fix UISwitch internal images being incorrectly redacted
- Fix UITextField placeholder text (UITextFieldLabel) not being detected for redaction
- Use string-based class comparison to avoid triggering Objective-C +initialize on background threads
- Add layer class filtering for views used in multiple contexts (e.g., SwiftUI._UIGraphicsView)
- Improve transform calculations for views with custom anchor points
- Fix axis-aligned transform detection for optimized opaque view clipping
- Fix conversion of frame rate to time interval for session replay (#6623)
- Change Session Replay masking to prevent semi‑transparent full‑screen overlays from clearing redactions by making opaque clipping stricter (#6629)
Views now need to be fully opaque (view and layer backgrounds with alpha == 1) and report opaque to qualify for clip‑out.
This avoids leaks at the cost of fewer clip‑out optimizations.
