SwiftUI navigation has been enhanced with several new features and capabilities presented at WWDC 2024. Here are some key points:
-
Navigation Split View: SwiftUI now supports building navigation split views, which are particularly useful for creating sidebars. This is highlighted in the session Migrate your TVML app to SwiftUI, where the floating sidebar from the TV app is now available system-wide in tvOS 18 through SwiftUI.
-
Tab and Sidebar Experience: The session Elevate your tab and sidebar experience in iPadOS discusses how to enable sidebars with
TabViewin SwiftUI. This allows for a more integrated appearance and user customization, such as reordering and hiding tabs. -
New TabView Syntax: SwiftUI introduces a new type-safe syntax for
TabViewto catch common errors at build time. This is covered in the session What’s new in SwiftUI, which also mentions the flexibility of switching between tab bar and sidebar views. -
Zoom Navigation Transition: A new zoom navigation transition is available in SwiftUI, making expanding information look more visually appealing. This is detailed in the session What’s new in SwiftUI.
-
SwiftUI Menus in AppKit: For macOS applications, SwiftUI menus can now be used within AppKit contexts, allowing for a seamless integration of SwiftUI navigation elements in traditional macOS apps. This is explained in the session What’s new in AppKit.
