I was working through Project 15 and when I was doing the challenges of adding accessibility to old projects I kept getting an error if I passed anything other than a string literal to accessibilityLabel. The error is "The compiler is unable to type-check this expression in reasonable time; try breaking up the expression into distinct sub-expressions."

So if I had: .accessibilityLabel("Business")

It worked fine. But if I had: .accessibilityLabel("\(item.name)")

I'd get an error.

This is from iExpense and item is an ExpenseItem and the name property is a string.

Here's ContentView:

struct ContentView: View {
    @StateObject var expenses = Expenses()
    @State private var showingAddExpense = false

    var body: some View {
        NavigationView {
            List {
                Section {
                    ForEach(expenses.items) { item in
                        if item.type == "Business"{
                            HStack {
                                VStack(alignment: .leading) {
                                    Text(item.name)
                                        .font(.headline)
                                    Text(item.type)
                                }

                                Spacer()
                                amountView(amount: item.amount)
                            }
                            .accessibilityLabel("\(item.name)") //error occurs here
                            .accessibilityHint("Business")
                        }
                    }
                    .onDelete(perform: removeItems)
                }

                Section {
                    ForEach(expenses.items) { item in
                        if item.type == "Personal" {
                            HStack {
                                VStack(alignment: .leading) {
                                    Text(item.name)
                                        .font(.headline)
                                    Text(item.type)
                                }

                                Spacer()
                                amountView(amount: item.amount)
                            }
                            .accessibilityLabel("\(item.name)")
                            .accessibilityHint("Personal")
                        }
                    }
                    .onDelete(perform: removeItems)
                }
            }
            .navigationTitle("iExpense")
            .toolbar {
                Button {
                    showingAddExpense = true
                } label: {
                    Image(systemName: "plus")
                }
            }
        }
        .sheet(isPresented: $showingAddExpense) {
            AddView(expenses: expenses)
        }
    }

    func removeItems(at offsets: IndexSet) {
        expenses.items.remove(atOffsets: offsets)
    }
}

struct amountView: View {
    let amount: Double
    private let currency = FloatingPointFormatStyle<Double>.Currency(code: Locale.current.currencyCode ?? "USD")

    var body: some View {
        if amount < 10.0 {
            Text(amount, format: currency)
                .foregroundColor(.green)
        } else if amount < 100.0 {
            Text(amount, format: currency)
                .foregroundColor(.yellow)
        } else {
            Text(amount, format: currency)
                .foregroundColor(.red)
        }
    }
}

struct ContentView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
    static var previews: some View {
        ContentView()
    }
}

Here's the ExpenseItem struct:

 struct ExpenseItem: Identifiable, Codable {
    var id = UUID()
    let name: String
    let type: String
    let amount: Double
}

I also tried cleaning the build folder, closing/reopening the project, closing/reopening xcode and rebooting.

Try to refactor the Sections out into another view

EG

struct SectionView: View {
    let expenses: Expenses
    let type: String

    var body: some View {
        ForEach(expenses.items) { item in
            if item.type == type {
                HStack {
                    VStack(alignment: .leading) {
                        Text(item.name)
                            .font(.headline)
                        Text(item.type)
                    }

                    Spacer()
                    AmountView(amount: item.amount)
                }
                .accessibilityLabel("\(item.name)")
                .accessibilityHint("\(type)")
            }
        }
        .onDelete(perform: removeItems)
    }

    func removeItems(at offsets: IndexSet) {
        expenses.items.remove(atOffsets: offsets)
    }
}

then in ContentView

struct ContentView: View {
    @StateObject var expenses = Expenses()
    @State private var showingAddExpense = false

    var body: some View {
        NavigationView {
            List {
                Section {
                    SectionView(expenses: expenses, type: "Business")
                }

                Section {
                    SectionView(expenses: expenses, type: "Personal")
                }
            }
            .navigationTitle("iExpense")
            .toolbar {
                Button {
                    showingAddExpense = true
                } label: {
                    Image(systemName: "plus")
                }
            }
        }
        .sheet(isPresented: $showingAddExpense) {
            AddView(expenses: expenses)
        }
    }
}

Since item.name is already a String, did you try just using .accessibilityLabel(item.name) without the string interpolation?

And a separate note: You should really filter your expenses before you loop through them rather than having an if clause in the ForEach.

@roosterboy Re: filtering, I remember I tried that but there was a problem that made it difficult to implement. I asked here about it and the best solution anyone had was using the if statements. I can't say it's elegant, I was inclined to try something like we have in C#/.NET, items.where(x => x.type == "Business"), but I couldn't find a syntactical equivalent.
