Large screen landscape mode left menu bar joins late

Context

• Operating system and version: iPadOS 26.5
• App version: TestFlight 1.0 (27)
• Music Assistant server version: 2.8.7 Stable

Problem description

When in landscape mode switching screens, there is a slide animation to the next or previous screen. The sidebar/navigation bar joins after the animation in a next step on the navigational stack. Precious page animation feels good because it naturally flows in from the left side.

Steps to reproduce

1. Have iPad in landscape mode
2. Navigate over different pages

Expected behavior

I think it would feel most natural if the sidebar/menubar slides connected to the screen its in, instead of popping in from the left after the transition of the page is done.

@formatBCE I feel like this is resolved (at least on android) in the latest build. Did we move from sliding animations to fading animations? Can you confirm?

[formatBCE]

There were no explicit animations at all. :) Not sure what has changed.

Well, we'll see on next iOS build :) I'll close this one when confirmed.

Robot tells me this:

Yes, out-of-the-box UI animations in Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP/Compose) are different from Android. When you use shared Compose UI, the framework intentionally maps animations to feel native to the device they are running on.On iOS: Screens slide in from the right when pushed and to the left when popped (mirroring SwiftUI), and iOS back edge swipe gestures are supported by default.On Android: Navigation default animations typically use fading or simpler transitions, respecting native Android Predictive Back gestures.
