Feeling like I'm missing something obvious here but the section view doesn't seem to exist.

If anyone can help me understand what I'm doing wrong it would be greatly appreciated :)

I'm running the latest betas and in an empty project the code works fine.

Hey @Obelix thanks for the feedback.

Here's the code should anyone else have any ideas:

import SwiftUI

struct Test: View {
    var body: some View {
        List {
            Section(header: Text("Important tasks")) {
                Text("Hello, World!")
                Text("Hello, World!")
                Text("Hello, World!")
            }

        }

    }
}

struct Test_Previews: PreviewProvider {
    static var previews: some View {
        Test()
    }
}

I've tried cleaning my build folder, quitting Xcode, deleting derived data, and using the release build of Xode.

My app is mostly swift with UIKit. I wanted to dip my toe into SwiftUI for a very simple menu (just a list).

PS: I once used javascript, google, and a deck of cards to do a magic trick for a users group. This was back in the day when we could pack a high school auditorium with Macintosh users early on a Saturday morning for a few hours of presentations, Q&A, repair workshops, floppy disk sales, and the occasional swag give-away.

MagicKit Pro looks awesome!

From Xcode 13.1 you can create in number of ways

Simple Way (if you only have string text in header)

var body: some View {
    List {
        Section("Important tasks") {
            Text("Hello, World!")
            Text("Hello, World!")
            Text("Hello, World!")
        }
    }
}

If you want a more in header or header and/or footer

var body: some View {
    List {
        Section {
            Text("Hello, World!")
            Text("Hello, World!")
            Text("Hello, World!")
        } header: {
          HStack {
            Text("Important tasks")
            Spacer()
            Text("More…")
          }
        }
    }
}

And this is before Xcode 13 which will be depercated in future

var body: some View {
    List {
        Section(header: Text("Important tasks")) {
            Text("Hello, World!")
            Text("Hello, World!")
            Text("Hello, World!")
        }
    }
}

which work fine with no errors

@Obelix thanks, my first was actually using a dashboard widget. I then moved onto iOS.

@NigelGee I tried with the more modern syntax and still no luck:

It's as if Xcode doesn't know about the Section type. This isn't an issue in a fresh project so it must be something in my spesific project that's causing the issue.

@roosterboy thank you so much this has been driving me mad. I had the same error and it kept complaining, I do in fact have something else defined as a protocol Section just using SwiftUI.Section(...) resolved the issue.

@roosterboy yep yep yep. Had an enum called Section in my project. I had momentarily considered that being the issue but thought Swift had some namespace protection hence dropping all the prefixes for classes.
