SwiftUI: NavigationLink not working if not in a List - swift

Question

I guess it might be a bug in beta 3 as the NavigationView is all broken. But a view like that:
struct GenreBadge : View {
#EnvironmentObject var store: Store<AppState>
let genre: Genre
var body: some View {
NavigationLink(destination: MoviesGenreList(genre: genre).environmentObject(store)) {
RoundedBadge(text: genre.name)
}
}
}
is not triggering any push in the navigation stack. The view doens't seems interactive at all. If anyone found a workaround would be good, unless Apple is documenting this behaviour I would consider it broken until beta 4.

Answer 1

There seems to be a bug with the navigation link in Xcode version 11.3(11C29) which I have reported to Apple.
Note: This problem only appears in simulator. It works fine on a real device. Thanks to #djr
The below code works as expect the first time you use the navigation link. Unfortunately it becomes unresponsive the second time around.
import SwiftUI
struct ContentView : View {
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
VStack {
NavigationLink(destination: SomeView()) {
Text("Hello!")
}
}
}
}
}
struct SomeView: View {
var body: some View {
Text("Detailed View")
}
}
struct ContentView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
static var previews: some View {
ContentView()
}
}

Answer 2

Are you actually inside a NavigationView? The following works. But if I missed your point, maybe you can share a little more code.
import SwiftUI
struct ContentView : View {
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
VStack {
NavigationLink(destination: SomeView()) {
Text("Go!")
}
}
}
}
}
struct SomeView: View {
var body: some View {
Text("Detailed View Here!")
}
}

NavigationLink
A button that triggers a navigation presentation when pressed. This is a replacement for pushViewController
NavigationView {
NavigationLink(destination:
Text("Detail")
.navigationBarTitle(Text("Detail"))
) {
Text("Push")
}.navigationBarTitle(Text("Master"))
}
Or make it more readable by use group destination into it own view DetailView
NavigationView {
NavigationLink(destination: DetailView()) {
Text("Push")
}.navigationBarTitle(Text("Master"))
}

Answer 4

In Xcode 11.3.1, I experienced the same issue but I just had to quit xcode and restart my computer. This apparently fixed an issue (of course its 2021 right now) but I was able to follow apple's swiftui tutorial without any issues. I copied this code and tried it out... worked fine for me. Maybe the issue is your "play" button on the bottom right of your screen was toggled.

Answer 5

Try this:
VStack{
NavigationLink(destination: DetailView()) {
Text("Push")
}.navigationBarTitle(Text("Your Text")).isDetailLink(false)
}

Answer 6

Try this:-
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
NavigationLink(destination: YourView()) {
Text("Go!")
}
}
}
