A practical audit framework classifies every UI chrome surface into five migration verdicts: unaffected, inherits automatically, mechanical swap, layout audit, and needs redesign. The most underestimated cost is not the blur-to-glass swap but layout changes caused by the new floating tab bar altering safeAreaInsets — views pinned to the old tab bar position break even with zero blur effects. A Swift package called GlassAuditKit encodes the classifier, a phased planner with effort scoring, and a readiness score that can run in CI, turning the migration plan into a trackable build artifact rather than a slide deck. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
