If I use the Sphynx template on an iPhone (14) and want to display a close button I’m getting a really nasty layout.

The close button is displayed in a black bar at the top. I feel I need a close button as there is no way to get past the paywall on the iPhone without it. By comparison, the iPad allows you to dismiss the paywall by tapping the modal background.

The black bar overlays my content and does not allow scrolling to view the copy underneath. If the black bar could be transparent, that would be a start - is that possible?.

The ‘restore purchases’ also takes up a lot of vertical space, which is impacting on how much of the actual unlock marketing copy can be seen.

I’m displaying the paywall manually from UIKit code, here’s my code:

            // Need a close button on iPhone screens otherwise there is no way to get past the paywall without subscribing
            var withCloseButton = false
            if (traitCollection.verticalSizeClass == .compact) {
                withCloseButton = true
            }
            let controller = PaywallViewController(offering: nil, displayCloseButton: withCloseButton)
            controller.delegate = self

            self.present(controller, animated: true, completion: nil)

Any ideas on how I can improve this? Here’s how it looks:

OK, just to add some more info. I was setting the UINavigationBarAppearance elsewhere in my app and had forgotten about that. If I remove that then I get better results, i.e. the nav bar is not black.

See:

 

However, the NavBar still blocks touch events to the package button underneath. You can only select the monthly package by tapping the very bottom edge of the button, which is not ideal.
