SOLVED: .toolbar - Not working from App Template

I created a brand new project (Type App / Use Core Data / SwiftUI / Swift Language). No changes from the template that XCode creates.

Run it (on iOS device and on iOS simulator)... no way to add a new item, no toolbar shows up at the top or bottom. Screen is blank. The template code is in the .toolbar.

.toolbar {
            #if os(iOS)
            EditButton()
            #endif

            Button(action: addItem) {
                Label("Add Item", systemImage: "plus")
            }
        }

Have you wrapped the view content in a NavigationView? The .toolbar needs a navigation bar to show up.

Also you have (if iOS) two button try for the same space! You might want to add

.toolbar {
  ToolbarItem(placement: .navigationBarLeading) {
    #if os(iOS)
    EditButton()
    #endif
  }

  ToolbarItem(placement: .navigationBarTrailing) {
    Button(action: addItem) {
        Label("Add Item", systemImage: "plus")
    }
  }
}

Yes, putting it in a navigation view and changing the .toolbar to your code works. I don't understand why Apple would put out a template that doesn't work at all (I've seen it before, just baffles me).

Thanks Nigel!
