How to fix a Form Picker or a NavigationLink that isn’t tappable

Paul Hudson    @twostraws   

Updated for Xcode 14.2

If you have a NavigationLink or Picker that isn’t working, this usually happens because in some situations SwiftUI expects the containing view to be inside a NavigationStack. So, you might see a list row showing a disclosure indicator, but for it to appear disabled.

To fix the problem, wrap your view in a NavigationStack, like this:

NavigationStack {
    NavigationLink {
        Text("Detail view")
    } label: {
        Text("Show detail view")
    }
}
