Facing issue with ios 26.2

[tremblerz]

Describe the bug
We are noticing several iphone devices with ios 26.2 (both physical and simulator) failing to blur and sometimes resorting to the fallback color. It unfortunately does not happen reliably so I couldn't reproduce it. It does seem to happen frequently if I am using hot reload feature of react native. Note that only happens for the ios 26.2.

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

• Device: iPhone16, iPhone17
• OS: iOS 26.2

Library Version 4.5.2

Hi @tremblerz, I couldn't reproduce the issue you're having. Can you create a repo to reproduce this issue?

Hey @tremblerz, maybe it is a dev only issue :/ I dont think this happens in production
In all cases I will check it this weekend :D

Hi guys,
Thanks for the response! I will try to set up a repo. It has been difficult to reproduce the issue even in my App but I will give it a try. Thanks for all you do!

Isn't it possible that it's caused by reduced transparency set to on on that device?

so strange! I also have this problem.

Can you test using the beta version ? Latest beta
Also do you have a valid reproduction that can help me debug it @sunny635533 ? Thanks

It also happens very rarely on my iPhone running an older iOS (18.6.2). I will update to the beta over the weekend. But it happens so rarely it's hard to confirm or deny...

@sbaiahmed1 where is the beta version? The version I am currently using is 4.5.7. I think it is too easy to occurrence when i use the ios iphone of 26.3. All you need to do is to create 10 or more BlurView components on one page, and you will be able to reproduce this problem.

@sunny635533 I have released a 4.6.0 that contain several fixes, notably for react navigation & expo-router
you can test it and see if you still have the issue

[sunny635533]

@sbaiahmed1 I tird the 4.6.0 version, the problem still exists.

@sunny635533 Is there a reproduction way ? Can you please put a video of the issue please?
