SwiftUI: Switch .sheet on enum, does not work - swiftui

Question

I have two Modal/Popover .sheet's I would like to show based on which button is pressed by a user. I have setup an enum with the different choices and set a default choice.
Expected behaviour:
When the user selects any choice, the right sheet is displayed. When the user THEN selects the other choice, it also shows the correct sheet.
Observed behaviour:
In the example below, when the user first picks the second choice, the first sheet is shown and will continue to show until the user selects the first sheet, then it will start to switch.
Debug printing shows that the #State variable is changing, however, the sheet presentation does not observe this change and shows the sheets as described above. Any thoughts?
import SwiftUI
//MARK: main view:
struct ContentView: View {
//construct enum to decide which sheet to present:
enum ActiveSheet {
case sheetA, sheetB
}
//setup needed vars and set default sheet to show:
#State var activeSheet = ActiveSheet.sheetA //sets default sheet to Sheet A
#State var showSheet = false
var body: some View {
VStack{
Button(action: {
self.activeSheet = .sheetA //set choice to Sheet A on button press
print(self.activeSheet) //debug print current activeSheet value
self.showSheet.toggle() //trigger sheet
}) {
Text("Show Sheet A")
}
Button(action: {
self.activeSheet = .sheetB //set choice to Sheet B on button press
print(self.activeSheet) //debug print current activeSheet value
self.showSheet.toggle() //trigger sheet
}) {
Text("Show Sheet B")
}
}
//sheet choosing view to display based on selected enum value:
.sheet(isPresented: $showSheet) {
switch self.activeSheet {
case .sheetA:
SheetA() //present sheet A
case .sheetB:
SheetB() //present sheet B
}
}
}
}
//MARK: ancillary sheets:
struct SheetA: View {
var body: some View {
Text("I am sheet A")
.padding()
}
}
struct SheetB: View {
var body: some View {
Text("I am sheet B")
.padding()
}
}

With some very small alterations to your code, you can use sheet(item:) for this, which prevents this problem:
//MARK: main view:
struct ContentView: View {
//construct enum to decide which sheet to present:
enum ActiveSheet : String, Identifiable { // <--- note that it's now Identifiable
case sheetA, sheetB
var id: String {
return self.rawValue
}
}
#State var activeSheet : ActiveSheet? = nil // <--- now an optional property
var body: some View {
VStack{
Button(action: {
self.activeSheet = .sheetA
}) {
Text("Show Sheet A")
}
Button(action: {
self.activeSheet = .sheetB
}) {
Text("Show Sheet B")
}
}
//sheet choosing view to display based on selected enum value:
.sheet(item: $activeSheet) { sheet in // <--- sheet is of type ActiveSheet and lets you present the appropriate sheet based on which is active
switch sheet {
case .sheetA:
SheetA()
case .sheetB:
SheetB()
}
}
}
}
The problem is that without using item:, current versions of SwiftUI render the initial sheet with the first state value (ie sheet A in this case) and don't update properly on the first presentation. Using this item: approach solves the issue.
