Intrinsic content size refers to the natural size of a view based on its content. In the context of SwiftUI, volumes inherit their minimum and maximum sizes from the size of their content by default. This behavior is provided by the window resizeability modifier, which means that the volume's minimum and maximum sizes are determined by the size of its views. If you specify a frame with specific dimensions, the volume size is fixed to match that frame. However, if you specify minimum values for the frame, the view can resize larger, and the volume will allow resizing accordingly. Specifying a maximum size will cap the size of the volume, allowing for smooth resizing when interacting with resize handles. This behavior allows developers to drive the size of their volume in code, providing flexibility in how content is displayed and interacted with.
