It’s hard to tell what’s going on, but here’s our guess:
There are two color swatches where the exact gradation point shifts a little bit (maybe ± 10% from the middle). Highlights shimmer on top of that gradient. Then, underneath it all, this cloth texture we extracted from the app bundle is tiled and warped by a Metal shader.
Will iOS 18 include more apps with this jersey cloth texture? Almost certainly not. But to make your app feel ahead of the curve, you gotta (and excuse the cheesiness) skate to where the puck is going to be. 🏒
And the puck is headed towards a lot of gradients, motion, and remixing the nav bar in fun ways.
