At WWDC 2024, Apple introduced new capabilities for creating custom containers in SwiftUI. These custom containers can have the same capabilities as SwiftUI's built-in containers, such as List and Picker. This includes the ability to mix static and dynamic content, support sections, and add container-specific modifiers.
To learn more about building custom container views in SwiftUI, you can check out the session titled "Demystify SwiftUI containers." This session covers how to use several new APIs to build custom container views that support these capabilities. It also explains how to make custom containers support any composition of content, add support for sections, and define custom modifiers for decorating content within a container.
For a detailed explanation, you can start with the Demystify SwiftUI containers session.
