Arghhh. Another #SwiftUI regression in 16.4: NavigationSplitView won’t animate the first push of the detail column if the content column goes from List, to no List. Again, this worked just fine in prior releases! https://gist.github.com/phillipcaudell/a125708c3075abcabe9940427c57d1a3 (FB12175649)
Here's the exact same code running on iOS 16.2. It works just fine.
And I’m sorry if I sound like a twat, but the SwiftUI team HAVE to get a grip on this. I cannot tell you how many hours I waste wondering "Wait, is that something I broke?!”
I'm being gaslit by a UI framework!
Bugs happen, I get it, I write buggy software too. But my god, I have never in my 14 years of writing apps for iOS have the ground move beneath me as much as it has with #SwiftUI. A couple of issues every now and then I can forgive, but it's not. It's every update, something has broken or changed.
It may be a beautifully expressive framework, but it doesn't matter if it doesn't work reliably, all the time, every time.
Something is deeply and systemically wrong with it.
@phill The general bugginess and the differences in behaviour between the iOS versions in the main showstopper for SwiftUI usage in the commercial apps in my opinion.
Unlike personal projects, we do have to support at least 2-3 major OS versions back, not to mention all the minor ones. We cannot reasonably cut-off all the users that are not on the latest and greatest OS.
