SOLVED: presentationMode.wrappedValue.dismiss() BREAKS when underlying view is updated

I have ViewA which presents ViewB via a .sheet modifier in ViewA. ViewB uses @Environment(.presentationMode) var presentationmode and presentationMode.wrappedValue.dismiss() to dismiss itself.

This works most of the time.

However, if the underlying ViewA is updated while ViewB is presented (e.g. the device is rotated causing ViewA to update), ViewB's presentationMode.wrappedValue.dismiss() no longer works.

I am using the examples provided by Paul, but cannot find a solution to this problem.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks G

This problem is solved on iOS 14.2 beta 3 (18B5072f) and iPadOS 14.2 beta 3 (18B5072f).

However, just for anyone experiencing this problem, I found that you should also take care not to update the underlying view (e.g. ViewA) via any mechanism (e.g. timer, etc.) while ViewB is presented. This will cause the presentationMode in ViewB to "detach" from ViewA, thus breaking the dismiss functionality.

If anyone else can explain this better, or has a work around, please comment.

Thanks G
