You can achieve a SwiftUI-like .glassEffect(.regular.interactive().tint(.green)) in UIKit using UIVisualEffectView with UIGlassEffect

UIGlassEffect supports interactive glass materials and tint colors, while UIVisualEffectView provides the actual rendering. In this example, the button is embedded inside the effect view and the container’s corner radius is updated dynamically to create a capsule shape.

Result (UIKit & interactive glass effect):
enter image description here

Code example:

import UIKit
import SnapKit
class ViewController: UIViewController {
    private let buttonContainerView: UIVisualEffectView = {
        let effect = UIGlassEffect(style: .regular)
        effect.isInteractive = true
        effect.tintColor = .systemGreen
        let view = UIVisualEffectView(effect: effect)
        return view
    }()
    private let button: UIButton = {
        let button = UIButton(type: .system)
        button.setTitle("Tap Me", for: .normal)
        button.setTitleColor(.label, for: .normal)
        return button
    }()
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        view.addSubview(buttonContainerView)
        buttonContainerView.contentView.addSubview(button)
        buttonContainerView.snp.makeConstraints {
            $0.center.equalToSuperview()
        }
        button.snp.makeConstraints {
            $0.horizontalEdges.equalToSuperview().inset(12)
            $0.directionalVerticalEdges.equalToSuperview().inset(4)
        }
    }
    override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
        super.viewDidLayoutSubviews()
        buttonContainerView.layer.cornerRadius = buttonContainerView.bounds.height / 2
    }
}
