iOS26 UINavigationController swipe from middle on Google Maps causing issue

Question

I have a UINavigation controller which on the second viewController has a Google Map view. In iOS 18 you would navigate normally around the map, and swipe your finger from the left side of the screen to move the map, this worked correctly. If you wanted to use the swipe to pop gestured you had to swipe from the edge of the screen:

However, in iOS 26 swiping from left to right from anywhere but the far right side of the screen will cause the UI to try to pop the viewController. You can see how far over the gesture swipe point is in iOS 26, which cause a huge issue as I cannot pan the map.

This does not happen when I add Apple Maps or other map frameworks to the VC.

Is there a way to disable the "swipe from middle" in iOS 26?

It looks like the new gesture added in iOS 26 is UINavigationController interactiveContentPopGestureRecognizer and I just needed to disable that.
