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 leaving aside whether this bug should’ve shipped, what makes this so troubling is that you simply *cannot* downgrade. You can’t ship a custom SwiftUI version as a dependency. You get whatever your users have installed, and if Apple releases an OS update and it contains a change you have to workaround, you have zero days to prepare.
