I thought iOS 15 just available recently.
I have no WiFi so I am not rushing to update. I will wait for a few months or wait version 15.1 come out only update.
Do you mean simulators ? It's not a problem for me, because a smartphone has IOS 15.
I tried API (overrideUserInterfaceStyle). Works fine using XCode 12.5 (in simulators and in iPhone). But troubles in XCode 13.
IMO, it's simply a bug (whong description of Light Theme). BTW, real Dark theme works fine in XCode 13.
