native_trend

Flutter's Cupertino library doesn't draw iOS 26 Liquid Glass (flutter#170310). pub.dev has about 20 packages that claim to. Most of them imitate glass with shaders. Only a few embed real native iOS views, which is the only way to get Apple's actual effect.

native_trend searches pub.dev, scans each plugin's source for native views (UiKitView) and the iOS 26 glass API (UIGlassEffect, .glassEffect), ranks the native ones by pub.dev's own scores, and writes the result to a file your AI coding assistant reads.

Kind Meaning
native view + glass API Embeds a native view and calls the iOS 26 glass API directly.
native view, system controls Embeds native system controls (tab bar, nav bar), which get glass from the iOS 26 SDK.
plugin without a native view Has native code but no platform view. Skipped.
Flutter-drawn imitation Pure Dart or shaders. Skipped.

Discontinued packages are dropped. Everything else (points, likes, downloads, publisher) comes from pub.dev as-is.

.ai/native_trend.md holds the ranking, Apple's Liquid Glass rules, and notes on applying it. --link adds a pointer to that file in CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, or any other file your assistant reads.

Options: --dir <project root>, --out <path> (default .ai/native_trend.md).

Apply with Claude Code

This repository is also a Claude Code plugin with a liquid-glass skill. The skill runs find, lets you pick a package, reads its README, converts only your navigation and control widgets (behind an iOS-only branch when the package has no fallback), and applies Apple's rules.

/plugin marketplace add Seungpyo1007/native_trend
/plugin install native-trend@native-trend

Glass only shows in iOS builds made with Xcode 26 or later.

Roadmap

Android (Material 3 Expressive with native views) comes next.
