SwiftUI List doesn't show Text views - list

Question

Playing around with SwiftUI's List view. Can't seem to get a simple List to show some Text entries.
Here's my SwiftUI view:
struct DeviceView: View {
var body: some View {
List {
Text("First").foregroundColor(Color.red)
Text("Second")
Text("Third")
Text("Fourth")
Text("Fifth")
Text("Sixth")
Text("Seventh")
Text("Eighth")
Text("Ninth")
Text("Tenth")
}.font(.largeTitle)
}
}
I'm creating the view in a UIKit view controller as in:
class ViewController: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let swiftUIController = UIHostingController(rootView: DeviceView())
addChild(swiftUIController)
swiftUIController.view.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
view.addSubview(swiftUIController.view)
swiftUIController.view.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerXAnchor).isActive = true
swiftUIController.view.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerYAnchor).isActive = true
swiftUIController.didMove(toParent: self)
}
}
If I comment out List then the Text items show.
Why is the List not showing the Text views?

Here's a possible solution using Playground. You need to place your SwiftUI View in the UIHostingController's root view, as someone above commented.
import UIKit
import PlaygroundSupport
import SwiftUI
struct ContentView: View {
var body: some View {
List{
ForEach(1..<11) { value in
Text(spellout(NSNumber(value: value)).capitalized)
}
}
}
func spellout(_ value: NSNumber) -> String {
let formatter = NumberFormatter()
formatter.numberStyle = .spellOut
return formatter.string(from: value)!
}
}
let viewController = UIHostingController(rootView: ContentView())
// Present the view controller in the Live View window
PlaygroundPage.current.liveView = viewController
