For WOOMOB-1222
Description
Temporarily opt out from iOS 26 liquid glass design by enabling
UIDesignRequiresCompatibilityin Info.plist. This prevents visual compatibility issues with the new design language while allowing the app to continue functioning properly on iOS 26.This temporarily avoids a critical crash in

Line 68 in f2e3e2e
input.tabBar.orderedTabBarActionableViews[input.tabIndex].subviews.first?.subviewsbecause the liquid glass design fundamentally alters how UITabBar organizes and manages its internal subview hierarchy.
