What is the alternative of applicationDidReceiveMemoryWarning in UIKit for SwiftUI? - swiftui

I want to control low memory state in my SwiftUI app.
What is the alternative of applicationDidReceiveMemoryWarning in UIKit for SwiftUI when you choose SwiftUI lifecycle?
I found didReceiveMemoryWarningNotification for Notification Center, but it is also implemented on UIKit, not on Foundation.
Or if there is no alternative, should I use UIKit lifecycle?
Thanks

You can use a Combine publisher which detects UIApplication.didReceiveMemoryWarningNotification notifications.
Example:
struct ContentView: View {
private let memoryWarningPublisher = NotificationCenter.default.publisher(for: UIApplication.didReceiveMemoryWarningNotification)
var body: some View {
Text("Hello world!")
.onReceive(memoryWarningPublisher) { _ in
print("memory warning")
}
}
}
Result:

SwiftUI MapKit [Memory] Resetting zone allocator with 24 allocations still alive

I'm developing an Ipad app that contains a MapKit Map using SwiftUI and I get the following error message in the XCode console everytime when the view with the map disappears:
[Memory] Resetting zone allocator with 24 allocations still alive.
Thankful for any help on how to solve it. :)
Related threads
First, before posting some code, let me say that there are a few threads related to this error. I've looked at this SO thread, Resetting zone allocator with allocations still alive, but it relates to UIKit and not to SwiftUI and either way I get the error message without adding annotations or zooming.
Another related thread here on SO is SwiftUI - EnvironmentObject - Strange Memory Usage but there the OP uses MKMapView instead of SwifUI's Map. Preferably, I'd like to use Map, but if nothing else MKMapView might be a way forward.
There is also some threads on the Apple developer forum, such as this one, but I've found no complete matches (in the linked thread, the OP only gets the error once, while it reoccurs for me every time the view with the map disappears).
Minimal reproducible example
The error occurs each time the view button that removes the Map is pressed.
View creating the error
import MapKit
import SwiftUI
struct ContentView: View {
#State private var region = MKCoordinateRegion(center: CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: 51.507222, longitude: -0.1275), span: MKCoordinateSpan(latitudeDelta: 10, longitudeDelta: 10))
#State private var showMap = true
var body: some View {
if showMap {
VStack {
Map(coordinateRegion: $region)
Button("Hide map") {
showMap = false
}
.font(.title)
}
} else {
Button("Show map") {
showMap = true
}
.font(.title)
}
}
}
Set-up view
import SwiftUI
#main
struct SwiftUIByExampleApp: App {
var body: some Scene {
WindowGroup {
ContentView()
}
}
}

Rename 'Cancel' on modal sheet in SwiftUI

The Apple documentation gives some user interface design tips on modal sheets including renaming Cancel to something like Dismiss where relevant. But there's no guide whether this is possible in SwiftUI.
There's a link that takes you to setTitle for Watchkit: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/watchkit/wkinterfacecontroller/1619570-settitle
But is there something equivalent for a SwiftUI Watch app?
Adding a ToolbarItem with the .cancellationAction placement works:
struct MySheet: View {
#Environment(\.dismiss) private var dismiss
var body: some View {
Text("The Content Of Sheet")
.toolbar {
ToolbarItem(placement: .cancellationAction) {
Button("Custom") {
dismiss()
}
}
}
}
}
The result looks like this:

How do I get my UIView to correctly size for its content in SwiftUI?

I want to use the awesome MultiSegmentPicker written by Yonat Sharon in my SwiftUI View.
https://github.com/yonat/MultiSelectSegmentedControl
However, I don't fully understand the interaction between the UIViewRepresentable View and my SwiftUI View. How do I get the host view controller to shrink its height down to the size of the segmented control?
Here's the debugger view of the demo page - notice the blue area around the top bar:
The demo code doesn't give a lot of insight into the issue, it's just a call to the UIViewRepresentable view. I've simplified it to just one example here:
struct MultiSegmentPickerX: View {
#State private var selectedSegmentIndexes: IndexSet = []
var body: some View {
VStack(alignment: .center) {
Spacer()
MultiSegmentPicker(
selectedSegmentIndexes: $selectedSegmentIndexes,
items: ["First", "Second", "Third", "Done"]
)
}
}
}
Notice I have a VStack with a Spacer() before the control.
The desired behavior for this example would be that the bar with "First", "Second", etc. would be snug against the bottom of the screen. Instead the Host Controller holds onto all that space...
Do I need to use Geometry reader to solve this issue and shrink the height down. Or do I have to adjust something in the UIViewRepresentable View?
Any insights into bridging UIKit and SwiftUI are always appreciated...
Is this an easy fix anyone?
These did not solve my issue:
UIViewRepresentable content not updating
How do I make SwiftUI UIViewRepresentable view hug its content?
How do I size a UITextView to its content?
Cannot test it now, just by thoughts, try with fixed size as below
MultiSegmentPicker(
selectedSegmentIndexes: $selectedSegmentIndexes,
items: ["First", "Second", "Third", "Done"]
).fixedSize() // << here !!

Is it possible to make a modal non-dismissible in SwiftUI?

I am creating an App where the login / register part is inside a modal, which is shown if the user is not logged in.
The problem is, that the user can dismiss the modal by swiping it down...
Is it possible to prevent this?
var body: some View {
TabView(selection: $selection) {
App()
}.sheet(isPresented: self.$showSheet) { // This needs to be non-dismissible
LoginRegister()
}
}
Second example:
I am using a modal to ask for information. The user should not be able to quit this process except by dismissing the modal with save button. The user has to input information before the button works. Unfortunately the modal can be dismissed by swiping it down.
Is it possible to prevent this?
iOS 15 and later:
Use .interactiveDismissDisabled(true) on the sheet, that's all.
Prev iOS 15:
You can try to do this by using a highPriorityGesture. Of course the blue Rectangle is only for demonstration but you would have to use a view which is covering the whole screen.
struct ModalViewNoClose : View {
#Environment(\.presentationMode) var presentationMode
let gesture = DragGesture()
var body: some View {
Rectangle()
.fill(Color.blue)
.frame(width: 300, height: 600)
.highPriorityGesture(gesture)
.overlay(
VStack{
Button("Close") {
self.presentationMode.value.dismiss()
}.accentColor(.white)
Text("Modal")
.highPriorityGesture(gesture)
TextField("as", text: .constant("sdf"))
.highPriorityGesture(gesture)
} .highPriorityGesture(gesture)
)
.border(Color.green)
}
}
This is a common problem and a "code smell"... well not really code but a "design pattern smell" anyway.
The problem is that you are making your login process part of the rest of the app.
Instead of presenting the LoginRegister over the App you should really be showing either App or LoginRegister.
i.e. you should have some state object like userLoggedIn: Bool or something and depending on that value you should show either App or LoginRegister.
Just don't have both in the view hierarchy at the same time. That way your user won't be able to dismiss the view.
If you dont mind using Introspect:
import Introspect
#available(iOS 13, *)
extension View {
/// A Boolean value indicating whether the view controller enforces a modal behavior.
///
/// The default value of this property is `false`. When you set it to `true`, UIKit ignores events
/// outside the view controller's bounds and prevents the interactive dismissal of the
/// view controller while it is onscreen.
public func isModalInPresentation(_ value: Bool) -> some View {
introspectViewController {
$0.isModalInPresentation = value
}
}
}
Usage:
.sheet {
VStack {
...
}.isModalInPresentation(true)
}
iOS 15+
Starting from iOS 15 you can use interactiveDismissDisabled.
You just need to attach it to the sheet:
var body: some View {
TabView(selection: $selection) {
App()
}.sheet(isPresented: self.$showSheet) {
LoginRegister()
.interactiveDismissDisabled(true)
}
}
Regarding your second example, you can pass a variable to control when the sheet is disabled:
.interactiveDismissDisabled(!isAllInformationProvided)
You can find more information in the documentation.
theoretically this may help you (I didn't tryed it)
private var isDisplayedBind: Binding<Bool>{ Binding(get: { true }, set: { _ = $0 }) }
and usage:
content
.sheet(isPresented: isDisplayedBind) { some sheet }

SwiftUI achieve Master and Detail structure in tvOS

The way to achieve Master and Detail structure, as of beta 4, it should be by using .navigationViewStyle(.doubleColumn). Works perfectly on iOS / iPadOS / macOS but not in tvOS... it's a bug or I'm missing something?
import SwiftUI
struct ContentView: View {
var arra = ["Margherita","Marinara","Calzone"]
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
List(arra, id: \.self) { pizza in
NavigationLink(destination: SecondView(pizza: pizza)) {
Text(pizza)
}
}.navigationBarTitle("MASTER")
SecondView(pizza: arra[0])
}
.navigationViewStyle(.doubleColumn)
}
}
struct SecondView: View {
var pizza : String
var body: some View {
Text(pizza)
.navigationBarTitle("DETAIL")
}
}
(as of GM release) The official doc tells something like: double column style will be stacked on tvOS, like it's an iPhone in portrait mode. So it's impossible to automatically achieve the "master and detail" look like it's an iPad in landscape, you have to build it for yourself. Even if you use one UISplitViewController in UIKit! With this behavior I think it's good to go only if the master it's a fullscreen CollectionView, sorta like Netflix App.
