I have a NavigationDestination (iOS16+) for an enum SideBarTabs. I want to show a different view depending on the actual value of the Type. This works at first:

            .navigationDestination(for: SideBarTabs.self) { tab in
                tab.sideBarView
                    .frame(width: getScreenRectangle().width, height: getScreenRectangle().height)
            }

            (...)

enum SideBarTabs: String, CaseIterable, Hashable {
    case about = "About"
    case help = "Help"
    case contact = "Contact"
    case credits = "Credits"
    case privacy = "Privacy"

    var icon: Image {
        switch self {
        case .about:
            return AppSymbols.SideBar.about
        case .help:
            return AppSymbols.SideBar.help
        case .contact:
            return AppSymbols.SideBar.contact
        case .credits:
            return AppSymbols.SideBar.credits
        case .privacy:
            return AppSymbols.SideBar.privacy
        }
    }

    var sideBarView: some View {
        switch self {
        case .about:
            return PrivacyView()
        case .help:
            return PrivacyView()
        case .contact:
            return PrivacyView()
        case .credits:
            return PrivacyView()
        case .privacy:
            return PrivacyView()
        }
    }
}

BUT

Naturally I want to return a different View per case, so I have to make its return type any View

    var sideBarView: any View {
        switch self {
        case .about:
            return AboutView()
        case .help:
            return HelpView()
        case .contact:
            return ContactView()
        case .credits:
            return CreditsView()
        case .privacy:
            return PrivacyView()
        }

But then the calling site (destination) starts complaining...

            .navigationDestination(for: SideBarTabs.self) { tab in
                tab.sideBarView
                    .frame(width: getScreenRectangle().width, height: getScreenRectangle().height)
            }

...that Type 'any View' cannot conform to 'View'

How do I solve this conundrum, must be easy, right ? 🙄

I'm not sure about this, but does making the switch return AnyView instances help at all?

var sideBarView: some View {
    switch self {
    case .about:
        return AnyView(AboutView())
    case .help:
        return AnyView(HelpView())
    case .contact:
        return AnyView(ContactView())
    case .credits:
        return AnyView(CreditsView())
    case .privacy:
        return AnyView(PrivacyView())
    }
}

Thank you both! Been away a few days, so a bit late to react.

I use @Viewbuilder a lot in my views, but it never occurred to me to use it in my enum. Silly me! That was the solution to my problem!
