SwiftUI and UIReferenceLibraryViewController

Forums > SwiftUI

UPDATE: For anyone who comes across this - this code crashes in iOS 13 and works perfectly in iOS 14.

I've developed a word game in SwiftUI and I'd like to provide the ability for users to touch a word and get a definition. I was hoping to use UIReferenceLibraryViewController for this, but it's not working. In the sumulator it's showing no definition and on a physical device it crashes. Can someone please let me know what I'm doing something wrong? Here's a simple reproduceable example using SwiftUI:

import SwiftUI

struct DictionaryView: UIViewControllerRepresentable {
    let word: String

    func makeUIViewController(context: UIViewControllerRepresentableContext<DictionaryView>) -> UIReferenceLibraryViewController {
        return UIReferenceLibraryViewController(term: word)
    }

    func updateUIViewController(_ uiViewController: UIReferenceLibraryViewController, context: UIViewControllerRepresentableContext<DictionaryView>) {
    }
}

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        NavigationView {
            NavigationLink(destination: DictionaryView(word: "word")) {
                Text("word")
            }
        }
    }
}
