• SwiftUI, apply drawGesture only when over Image

  I'm try to apply the gesture only when the user is over the Image display not when tapped outside the image.

  Any suggestion how I can do? this following code draw also when user tap outside the image.

  struct ContentView: View {
      @StateObject var am = AppManager()
      @State var switchToTakePicture = false
      @State var paths: [PathContainer] = []
      @State var currentDraggingId = UUID()
      @State var spikoPic = #imageLiteral(resourceName: "spiko-16.jpeg")
      @State var centerOFimage = CGSize(width: 0, height: 0)
      var body: some View {
          
          GeometryReader { proxy in
              ZStack {
                  Image(uiImage: spikoPic)
                      .resizable()
                      .scaledToFit()
                      .position(x: proxy.size.width/2, y: proxy.size.height/2)
                      .background(GeometryReader {
                          Color.clear.preference(key: ViewRectKey.self,
                                                 value: [$0.frame(in: .global)])
                      })
                      .gesture(drawGesture) // not correct
                  
                  ForEach(paths) { container in
                      // draw and set the foreground color of the paths to red

• How to navigate between NavigationLink while leave a part of main window stay the same in SwiftUI

  I would like to navigate between different NavigationLinks in NavigationView while some part of the main window stay the same. For example, I want to make a music app and I want to let the play controller always on top, while I can display different navigation contents (songs page, artists page...) using the rest of the window.

  Like what's showed in the picture below, I want to keep the red part always there while the blue part changes.

  Navigation Example Picture

  My code would be like below, but it won't work correctly. The AlwaysStayView() disappears when I click any NavigationLink on sidebar. So, how can I correct it or is there any solution (prefer in SwiftUI, but framework like UIKit would also be OK). I would appreciate it.

  NavigationView {
              List {
                  NavigationLink { DiscoverView() }
                      label: { Label("Discover", systemImage: "magnifyingglass") }
                  NavigationLink { SongsView() }
                      label: { Label("Songs", systemImage: "music.note") }
                  NavigationLink { ArtistsView() }
                      label: { Label("Artists", systemImage: "music.mic") }
                  }
              }
              .listStyle(SidebarListStyle())
  
              VStack {
                  AlwaysStayView()
                  SongsView()
              }
  }
  
• NumberFormatter and unsigned with UInt64.max

  I'm trying to create a string representing UInt64.max using NumberFormatter. Here's the code:

  let formatter = NumberFormatter()
      
  formatter.usesGroupingSeparator = true
  formatter.numberStyle = .decimal
  formatter.positiveFormat = "# ##0.#########"
  formatter.maximumSignificantDigits = 20
  formatter.usesSignificantDigits = false
  formatter.maximumFractionDigits = 20
  formatter.minimumFractionDigits = 0
  formatter.alwaysShowsDecimalSeparator = false
  // formatter.roundingMode = .halfUp
  let text1 = formatter.string(for: NSNumber(value: Int64.max))
  let text2 = formatter.string(for: NSNumber(value: UInt64.max))
  
  print(text1)
  print(text2)
  

  which prints:

  Optional("9,223,372,036,854,780,000")
  Optional("-1")

  but should print

  Optional("9223372036854775807")
  Optional("18,446,744,073,709,551,615")

  It looks like NSNumber is rounding Int64 and isn't taking the UIn64. The obj-c version of NSNumberFormatter works fine.

  Am I missing something or is there a problem with NumberFormatter?
• SwiftUI NavigationView detail view binding to sheet modal not working

  I have a List where the navigationLink destination is a view with a binding property for a user struct. works fine, if in the detail view I create another navigationLink to an edit view with a binding property for the user struct, that will update all the views as expected when the user is modified.

  My problem is when I don't use the navigationLink from the detail view and use a sheet modal instead. When I update in the sheet, the master a detail views update, but not the sheet, is there something I'm missing?

  NavigationView using NavigationLinks works:

  MasterView (List of Users)
      | (NavigationLink)
  DetailView(user: $user) this binding works
      | (NavigationLink)
  EditView(user: $user) this binding works
  

  NavigationView using NavigationLink to detail, and sheet to edit:

  MasterView (List of Users)
      | (NavigationLink)
  DetailView(user: $user) this binding works
      | (sheet)
  EditView(user: $user) this binding doesn't work
  

  My implementation of opening sheets is as follows:

  struct UserDetailView: View {
  
      @Binding var user: User
      @State private var sheetItem: SheetItem?
  
      var body: some View {
          VStack {
              // content
          }
          .toolbar {
              ToolbarItem(placement: .navigationBarTrailing) {
                  Button(action: {
                      sheetItem = SheetItem(view: AnyView(EditUserView(user: $user)))
                  }) {
                      Text("Edit")
                  }
              }
          }
          .sheet(item: $sheetItem) { view in
              showSheet(sheet: view)
          }
      }
  }
  
  struct SheetItem: Identifiable {
      var id = UUID()
      var view: AnyView
  }
  
  func showSheet(sheet: SheetItem) -> some View {
      return sheet.view
  }
  
• How to determine width needed for a button in SwiftUI

  If I have a string that I will place inside of a SwiftUI button label, how can I determine how much width I need to allow the button to consume such that the text in the button will not be truncated with ellipsis?

  This would assume no font size modifier is applied and would take into account the current Dynamic Type size preference.
• SwiftUI Localization Issue

  I have a project with two targets representing two different final products. Until now the localization was shared between the two targets, but now I have just one string to be localized differently according to the active target. In order to avoid duplicating the Localizable.string file ad tweak the file target membership, I decided to create two different Localizable-Ext.string files containing just the string to be translated differently for each target.

  I'm using the SwiftUI Text initializer accepting a LocalizedStringKey parameter which automatically looks up the corresponding translation inside the file. This is what has to be done in most cases. I noticed that this initializer also accepts a tableName parameter corresponding to the .string filename where the match should be taken.

  What I'm trying to achieve is to have a custom Text initializer which takes the string key, looks up for it inside the default Localizable.string file and, if no match is found, falls back to the right file extension (string table) and search for it there. Apparently this is tough to achieve since I cannot manage to get the key value from the LocalizedStringKey instance.
