I tried following along with the code that the hackingwithswift instructor wrote in my own xcode file and it does not work the same. When I click on select your student it gives me a drop down of all the students it does not go to the navigation view with the back button. I typed it in exactly as the instructor and it does not work. I notice in the simuIator the students have an up and down arrow at the end of their name instead of an arror pointing to the right like in the instructor's code. What gives? I even selected the same iPhone to test and it still does not work. Here is the code, tell me what I am doing wrong.

    @State private var selectedStudent = "Harry"

    var body: some View

                {
                    ForEach(students, id: \.self)
                    {
                        Text($0)
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

Hi! SwiftUI is constantly changing so default styles are changing with that. Just add PickerStyle modifier as navigationLink and it will do the same.

Form {
    Picker("Select your student", selection: $selectedStudent) {
        ForEach(students, id: \.self) {
            Text($0)
        }
    }
    .pickerStyle(.navigationLink)
}

just try others to see all options avaible for yourself.

Later, SwiftUI was updated allowing you to select from several pickerStyles! Nice! The code snip below shows several of the available styles. Uncomment them one at a time to see their effect on the picker. Please return here and tell us which one you prefer and why!

I like the .inline pickerstyle the best. It lays out all the options in neat rows and no additional navigation to go back.
