Thanks for the new example. I will check it out.
Still curious what's the big difference here, but thanks again for looking into it!

@awnigharbia As I have written above. I have already tested the https://gist.github.com/ashishkakkad8/695e0b1828f699ed538bcf1a01920cc7 code and it was working fine in iOS 17 beta. I didn't get time to check in latest versions. Once I get time sure I will check. Thanks :)

apple has warned not to use such methods of adding view's layer to another view's layer, this will break you UI. https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/722333
