Are there any good alternatives to have a UIView with a blur effect AND custom tint color without calling private APIs?
1 project | /r/iOSProgramming | 14 Apr 2022

So I discovered VisualEffectView but of course it uses private APIs in order to work. Has anyone ever had any problem summiting an app using this method or know about a better alternative? I'm using UIKit.
