Changing scroll position from another view not working - swift

Question

I am working on a project where I need to reset a TabView's root view controllers (NavigationViews with Lists inside) when the TabViews selected item changes. This is pretty simple in UIKit, however in SwiftUI it doesn't seem that easy.
Let's say I have the following code:
class AppState: ObservableObject {
let objectWillChange = PassthroughSubject<AppState, Never>()
#Published var theScrollPosition: Int64? {
didSet {
print("Did set scroll position")
objectWillChange.send(self)
}
}
#Published var selectedTab: Tabs
{
didSet {
print("Tab switched, switching back to root view")
selectedItemID = nil
selectedRow = nil
theScrollPosition = -1
}
}
#Published var selectedItemID: Int64? {
didSet {
objectWillChange.send(self)
}
}
#Published var selectedRow: Int64? {
didSet {
objectWillChange.send(self)
}
}
}
struct ContentView: View {
#EnvironmentObject var state: AppState
var body: some View {
TabView {
View1().id(Tabs.Tab1)
View2().id(Tabs.Tab2)
View3().id(Tabs.Tab3)
}
}
}
struct View1: View {
#EnvironmentObject var state: AppState
#ObservedObject var viewModel: ListViewModel()
var body: some View {
ScrollViewReader { proxy in
List(viewModel.items) { item in
Section {
NavigationLink(destination:ListItemDetailView(item), tag: item.id, selection: state.selectedItemID) {
ListItemView(item)
}
}
}.onChange(of: self.state.selectedItemID) { newValue in
print("Scrolling to top")
proxy.scrollTo(0)
}
}
}
There may be some typos in the code as this is not the actual production code however the flow is this:
Selection state of TabView and NavigationLink are stored in a global EnvironmentObject. When the TabView selection changes, View1 should scroll back up to the top.
However, the onChange method is never called.

Next time, provide something runnable or at least a start...
But here is a example where view 1 will always scroll to the top, you are missing something like onAppear()
And you don't need to have AppState.theScrollPosition as a published, instead change to the right tab and have that view read the position or tag in the model.
import SwiftUI
struct ContentView: View {
var view: some View {
ScrollViewReader { proxy in
ScrollView {
VStack {
Text("TOP").id("topID")
Divider()
Spacer()
.frame(height:1000)
Text("BOTTOM").id("bottomID")
}
}
.onAppear {
proxy.scrollTo("topID")
}
}
}
var view2: some View {
VStack {
Text("View 2")
}
}
var body: some View {
TabView {
view.tag(0)
.tabItem {
Text("View 1")
}
view2.tag(1)
.tabItem {
Text("View 2")
}
}
}
}

Thanks, for some reason I was totally missing onAppear.
