struct HomepageView: View {

    @State private var selectedTab : Tab = .house

    init() {
        hideTabView()
    }

    var body: some View {
        ZStack{
            Color.mint.ignoresSafeArea() //set BG
            avatarFrame()

            VStack {
                TabView(selection: $selectedTab) {
                    if selectedTab == .house {
                    HomepageView()
                    }
                }
            }
            VStack {
                Spacer()
                CustomTabBar(selectedTab: $selectedTab)
            }
        }.navigationBarBackButtonHidden(true)

    }

Using my custom tab bar, I am trying to render the homepage view by default when the selected tab is initially at .house, however as soon as I write HomepageView() it shows a blank screen, if I remove the homepageview() code it will show original screen again with custom tab bar but with no navigation function.

Used a debugger and got this: 
Info.plist contained no UIScene configuration dictionary (looking for configuration named "(no name)")

Anyone have any ideas how to resolve this does it require a navigationStack wrapped around the Vstack of the tabView?

I have the same issue! It worked fine yesterday! today morning i faced this issue!!!

For the Info.plist contained no UIScene configuration dictionary (looking for configuration named "(no name)") check out this on Developers Forum. Info.plist contained no UIScene configuration dictionary

With Regard to TabView this should be what the other Views are in. You would need to remove that and make your own.
