Same issue, I'm on Beta 6 now.

Seeing the same thing on beta 7 - FB13041954. I have a sample project in this feedback that demonstrates the issue.

Still seeing that on Beta 8. Filed a feedback as well. Hopefully it gets fixed before the release.

Still seeing this on iOS 17.0 release and iPadOS 17.0 release.

@Gong I'm seeing the background and text change properly, but @Environment(\.colorScheme) var colorScheme is always returning light, are you seeing the same?

@alex_taffe Hi:) In my app the value of @Environment(\.colorScheme) is correct. The system renders the live activity widget both in light and dark scheme since iOS 17.1 beta 2.

How are you making that work? In mine it just always returns .light
