Day 77 Challenge: Not saving to documentDirectory

Forums > 100 Days of SwiftUI

Have been working on Day 77 Challenge which asks to create a contact app to practice using PHPickerViewController, saving to documentDirectory, encoding/decoding to/from JSON and more...

I have the app working however it will not save data to the documentDirectory. The save function does not throw any errors but when I save some contacts and quit the app the saved contacts are not loaded.

Any help would be appreciated.

import Foundation
import SwiftUI

struct Contact: Codable, Comparable, Identifiable {
    let id: UUID
    let name: String
    let picture: Data

    static func <(lhs: Contact, rhs: Contact) -> Bool {
        lhs.name < rhs.name
    }
}
import SwiftUI

struct ContentView: View {
    @State private var picture: Image?
    @State private var contacts = [Contact]()

    @State private var showingAddContact = false

    let savePath = FileManager.documentsDirectory.appendingPathComponent("SavedContacts")

    var body: some View {
        NavigationView {
            List {
                Section {
                    ForEach(contacts.sorted(), id: \.id) { contact in
                        NavigationLink {
                            DetailView(contact: contact)
                        } label: {
                            HStack {
                                convertPicture(contact: contact)
                                    .resizable()
                                    .scaledToFit()
                                    .frame(width: 75, height: 75)

                                Spacer()

                                Text( contact.name)
                            }
