iOS 26 User interface Changed.

Picker Buttons and Title not looking good for iOS 26.

[DurgaAchyuth]

I've encountered the same issue and spent some time researching and testing. I’ve come up with three working solutions that resolve the problem in my project in different ways depending on your UI preference that support for iOS 26. Here is the below options

Option 1 – Simple Fix

• Fixes only the toolbar position.
• No visual changes, just corrects the layout issue.

Here is the modified ~ AbstractActionSheetPicker.m for Option - 1

- (void)showActionSheetPicker {
    CGFloat height = 216.0;
    if (@available(iOS 14.0, *)) {
        if ([self isKindOfClass:[ActionSheetDatePicker class]]) {
            ActionSheetDatePicker *datePicker = (ActionSheetDatePicker *)self;
            /// To fixed datePickerStyle = inline height issue
            height = [datePicker getDatePickerHeight];
        }
    }
    
    if (@available(iOS 26.0, *)) {
        height += 16.0; // extra top padding for iOS 26 style
    }
    
    /// Bottom padding for iPhone X style phones (adds some additional height for the home bar).
    if (@available(iOS 11.0, *)) {
        UIWindow *window = UIApplication.sharedApplication.keyWindow;
        height += window.safeAreaInsets.bottom;
    }
    
    UIView *masterView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.viewSize.width, height)];
    
    // to fix bug, appeared only on iPhone 4 Device: https://github.com/skywinder/ActionSheetPicker-3.0/issues/5
    if (isIPhone4()) {
        masterView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.97 green:0.97 blue:0.97 alpha:1.0];
    }
    self.toolbar = [self createPickerToolbarWithTitle:self.title];
    [masterView addSubview:self.toolbar];

    CGRect rect = CGRectMake(0, self.toolbar.frame.origin.y, _borderWidth, masterView.frame.size.height - self.toolbar.frame.origin.y);
    UIToolbar *leftEdge = [[UIToolbar alloc] initWithFrame:rect];
    rect.origin.x = masterView.frame.size.width - _borderWidth;
    UIToolbar *rightEdge = [[UIToolbar alloc] initWithFrame:rect];
#pragma clang diagnostic push
#pragma ide diagnostic ignored "UnavailableInDeploymentTarget"
    leftEdge.barTintColor = rightEdge.barTintColor = self.toolbar.barTintColor;
#pragma clang diagnostic pop
    [masterView insertSubview:leftEdge atIndex:0];
    [masterView insertSubview:rightEdge atIndex:0];

    self.pickerView = [self configuredPickerView];
    NSAssert(_pickerView != NULL, @"Picker view failed to instantiate, perhaps you have invalid component data.");
    // toolbar hidden remove the toolbar frame and update pickerview frame
    if (self.toolbar.hidden) {
        int halfWidth = (int) (_borderWidth * 0.5f);
        masterView.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, self.viewSize.width, 220);
        self.pickerView.frame = CGRectMake(0, halfWidth, self.viewSize.width, 220 - halfWidth);
    }
    
    // Centers the pickerView frame in cases where the pickerView is not as wide as masterView
    CGFloat xOffset = (CGRectGetWidth(masterView.frame) - CGRectGetWidth(self.pickerView.frame)) / 2;
    self.pickerView.frame = CGRectMake(xOffset,
                                       CGRectGetMinY(self.pickerView.frame) + 8.0,
                                       CGRectGetWidth(self.pickerView.frame),
                                       CGRectGetHeight(self.pickerView.frame));
    
    [masterView addSubview:_pickerView];

    if ((![MyPopoverController canShowPopover] || self.popoverDisabled) && !self.pickerBackgroundColor && !self.toolbarBackgroundColor && [self.pickerBlurRadius intValue] > 0) {
        [self blurPickerBackground];
    } else {
        [self presentPickerForView:masterView];
    }
    
    if (![MyPopoverController canShowPopover]) {
        [self addTapDismissAction];
    }
}

- (UIToolbar *)createPickerToolbarWithTitle:(NSString *)title {
    CGRect frame;
    if (@available(iOS 26.0, *)) {
        frame = CGRectMake(0, 16, self.viewSize.width, 44);
    } else {
        frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, self.viewSize.width, 44);
    }
    UIToolbar *pickerToolbar = [[UIToolbar alloc] initWithFrame:frame];
    pickerToolbar.barStyle = UIBarStyleDefault;

    pickerToolbar.barTintColor = self.toolbarBackgroundColor;
    pickerToolbar.tintColor = self.toolbarButtonsColor;

    NSMutableArray *barItems = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];

    if (!self.hideCancel) {
        [barItems addObject:self.cancelBarButtonItem];
    }

    NSInteger index = 0;
    for (NSDictionary *buttonDetails in self.customButtons) {
        NSString *buttonTitle = buttonDetails[kButtonTitle];

        UIBarButtonItem *button;
        button = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:buttonTitle style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain
                                                 target:self action:@selector(customButtonPressed:)];

        button.tag = index;
        [barItems addObject:button];
        index++;
    }

    UIBarButtonItem *flexSpace = [self createButtonWithType:UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace target:nil action:nil];
    [barItems addObject:flexSpace];
    if (title) {
        UIBarButtonItem *labelButton;

        labelButton = [self createToolbarLabelWithTitle:title titleTextAttributes:self.titleTextAttributes andAttributedTitle:self.attributedTitle];

        [barItems addObject:labelButton];
        [barItems addObject:flexSpace];
    }
    [barItems addObject:self.doneBarButtonItem];

    [pickerToolbar setItems:barItems animated:NO];
    [pickerToolbar layoutIfNeeded];
    return pickerToolbar;
}

Option 2 – Toolbar + Cleaner UI

• Fixes the toolbar position.
• Removes the default placeholder border, giving a cleaner look.

Here is the modified ~ AbstractActionSheetPicker.m for Option - 2

- (void)showActionSheetPicker {
    CGFloat height = 216.0;
    if (@available(iOS 14.0, *)) {

            height = [datePicker getDatePickerHeight];
        }
    }

Option 3 – Fully Customized UI

• Fixed toolbar position.
• Customized the appearance:
• Added background color to picker view , master view and tool bar.
• Applied corner radius to the toolbar for a more modern look.

Here is the modified ~ AbstractActionSheetPicker.h for Option - 3

Add this two property in AbstractActionSheetPicker.h file

@property(nonatomic, assign) CGFloat toolbarCornerRadius;
@property(nonatomic, assign) CGFloat pickerViewCornerRadius;

Here is the modified ~ AbstractActionSheetPicker.m for Option - 3
