cannot support iOS 14

Hi, thank for good work.
What's about custom mask for blur like this:
http://joxi.ru/xAeBa6MiYl9L7r
or simple blurView with roundCorners ?

it is working if you add this

func setValue( value: T, forKey key: Key) {
blurEffect.setValue(value, forKeyPath: key.rawValue)
if #available(iOS 14, *) { } else {
self.effect = blurEffect
}
}

Unfortunately this library stopped working correctly on iOS 14. No blur is being displayed at all

Hi,

The video on readme not work, link is broken.

Thanks.

Issue Description

Environment

• iOS Version: [INSERT iOS VERSION HERE]
• Device(s): [INSERT DEVICE(S) HERE]

Hello,
I wanted to try out the latest version (4.1.1) with the iOS 14 fix but now I've got some crashes on iOS 13.5.

func newVisualEffectView(tint: UIColor? = nil) -> VisualEffectView {
        let view = VisualEffectView(frame: self.view.frame)
        view.colorTint = tint
        view.colorTintAlpha = 0.92
        view.blurRadius = 7
        view.scale = 1
        return view
}

This raises a runtime error when tint is nil:

func _setValue<T>(_ value: T, forKey key: Key) {
        blurEffect.setValue(value, forKeyPath: key.rawValue)
        if #available(iOS 14, *) {} else {
            self.effect = blurEffect // <- -[NSNull _backgroundColorIgnoringHighContrast]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x7fff8062d9d0
        }
}

So I've added a check to not set the colorTintAlpha if there was no tintColor:

func newVisualEffectView(tint: UIColor? = nil) -> VisualEffectView {
        let view = VisualEffectView(frame: self.view.frame)
        view.colorTint = tint
        if view.colorTint != nil {
            view.colorTintAlpha = 0.92
        }
        view.blurRadius = 7
        view.scale = 1
        return view
}

This raises another runtime error when trying to access the tintColor from the new condition:

func _value<T>(forKey key: Key) -> T {
        return blurEffect.value(forKeyPath: key.rawValue) as! T // <- Could not cast value of type 'NSNull' (0x7fff87a92380) to 'UIColor' (0x7fff897eb788).
}

`let effect = VisualEffectView()//VisualEffectView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 600, height: 600))
effect.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
effect.colorTint = .red
effect.colorTintAlpha = 0.2
effect.blurRadius = 10
effect.scale = 1

    view.addSubview(effect)
    effect.heightAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.heightAnchor, multiplier: 0).isActive = true
    effect.widthAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.widthAnchor, multiplier: 0).isActive = true

`

Is there any way to apply Blur effect on Status Bar view.

Please note that This is not the Bug BUT in iPhone blue effect apply on whole screen area include status bar Real time and battery icon too.

Thanks in Advance.

CocoaPods and Carthage are awesome tools and make our life really easier, but there are some devs who still don't know how to use them.

It would be cool to add the Manual installation guide in your README.md. You can take a look at my iOS Readme Template to see how you can do it.

Hello,

I'm using VisualEffectView to find a custom UIVisualEffectView.
When I read ReadMe, iOS 8.0 + is actually crashing when iOS 8.x is run.

private let blurEffect = (NSClassFromString("_UICustomBlurEffect") as! UIBlurEffect.Type).init()

fatal error: unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value

it's probably an iOS9+ API

If you answer I will submit a PR updating the docs. Thanks!

The color will be brighter than it actually is

IOS 16 was recently updated, The same code shows the result, which is very different from what it was before iOS 16, Below is the 16 and 16 before the rendering
please help me to solve the problem

in VisualEffectView_SwiftUI.swift

let colorTint: Color?

I have the issue:

"'Color' is only available in tvOS 13.0 or newer"

Please update your project to Swift 3 syntax. When I reinstall pods each time I have to convert syntax of your library.

Changing colorTint = .clear not solves the problem.
It seems like colorTint had effect on _UIVisualEffectSubview, but blue overlay is in _UIVisualEffectBackdropView.

I was expecting that will find a solution here, but now think that only I have this problem.
