Subject: [PATCH] fix(iOS): add compile guard iOS 26 SwiftUI symbol
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

-iOS-26 SwiftUI symbols are guarded only by runtime @available checks, causing compilation to fail on Xcode < 26 with "cannot find type … in scope".
- add #if compiler >=6.2 to fix
- pattern mirrored from TabViewProps.swift
