My goal is to vertically center a view that we'll call proxyView. The problem is that there is other content that is variable and the height of that may change. But I still want the proxyView to be centered within the viewstack.
public var body: some View {
GeometryReader { bodyProxy in
VStack(spacing:0) {
ScrollView {
VStack(spacing: 0) {
GeometryReader { contentProxy in
VStack(spacing:0) {
Text("Test")
Text("Variable Height Text")
}
.frame(width: contentProxy.size.width, height: nil, alignment: .center)
}
//THIS IS WHERE THE ISSUE IS.
proxyView(contentProxy: contentProxy)
}
}
}
}
#ViewBuilder
func proxyView(contentProxy: GeometryProxy?) -> some View {
Text("Proxy Test")
.padding(.top, calculateVerticalCenter(proxyHeight: contentProxy?.size.height ?? 0))
}
func calculateVerticalCenter(contentHeight: CGFloat?) -> CGFloat {
let maxMargin = textMargin + textMargin2 + (contentHeight ?? 0)
return height/2 - maxMargin
}
So the problem is that I cannot use the second "contentProxy" in this codes current state.
I have tried adding a new #State variable that assigns the contentProxy on the VStack's onAppear. But this ends up "lagging" the actual centering of the proxyView
I also tried to assign the #State variable within the geometryReader but obviously that wont work as I am not allowed to do that in an expected view setting.
I am lost! Thank you in advance!
So i get this error when running my set game app:
Image of the game screen when more of the same cards appear (All cards in the game should be unique)

_FrameLayout>> count (2) != its initial count (1). `ForEach(_:content:)`
should only be used for *constant* data. Instead conform data to `Identifiable`
or use `ForEach(_:id:content:)` and provide an explicit `id`!
It doesnt seem like the card models underneath the view themselves change. Everything but the numberOfShapes on the cards stay the same. So a card that is displayed wrongly will only match if the underlying model is matched correctly and will not match like shown on view.
The error only seem to appear when i either get a set correct and press "show three more cards" or when i display more cards than is visible and then scroll up and down the screen.
The app doesnt stop with the error, but the numberOfShapes on each card changes dynamically (Like on the screenshot above). (This is most clear when i scroll to the top of the screen and then to the bottom and the number of shapes on some cards changes each time)
So i think the problem might be in the card view:
import SwiftUI
struct CardView: View {
var card: Model.Card
var body: some View {
GeometryReader { geometry in
ZStack{
let shape = RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 10)
if !card.isMatched {
shape.fill().foregroundColor(.white)
shape.strokeBorder(lineWidth: 4).foregroundColor(card.isSelected ? .red : .blue)
}
VStack {
Spacer(minLength: 0)
//TODO: Error here?
ForEach(0..<card.numberOfShapes.rawValue) { index in
cardShape().frame(height: geometry.size.height/6)
}
Spacer(minLength: 0)
}.padding()
.foregroundColor(setColor())
.aspectRatio(CGFloat(6.0/8.0), contentMode: .fit)
.frame(width: geometry.size.width, height: geometry.size.height)
}
}
}
#ViewBuilder private func cardShape() -> some View {
switch card.shape {
case .squiglle: shapeFill(shape: Squiggle())
case .roundedRectangle: shapeFill(shape: Capsule())
case .diamond: shapeFill(shape: Diamond())
}
}
private func setColor() -> Color {
switch card.color {
case .pink: return Color.pink
case .orange: return Color.orange
case .green: return Color.green
}
}
#ViewBuilder private func shapeFill<setShape>(shape: setShape) -> some View
//TODO: se løsning, brug rawvalues for cleanness
where setShape: Shape {
switch card.fill {
case .fill: shape.fillAndBorder()
case .stripes: shape.stripe()
case .none: shape.stroke(lineWidth: 2)
}
}
}
The cardviews are displayed in a flexible gridlayout:
import SwiftUI
struct AspectVGrid<Item, ItemView>: View where ItemView: View, Item: Identifiable {
var items: [Item]
var aspectRatio: CGFloat
var content: (Item) -> ItemView
let maxColumnCount = 6
init(items: [Item], aspectRatio: CGFloat, #ViewBuilder content: #escaping (Item) -> ItemView) {
self.items = items
self.aspectRatio = aspectRatio
self.content = content
}
var body: some View {
GeometryReader { geometry in
VStack {
let width: CGFloat = widthThatFits(itemCount: items.count, in: geometry.size, itemAspectRatio: aspectRatio)
ScrollView{
LazyVGrid(columns: [adaptiveGridItem(width: width)], spacing: 0) {
ForEach(items) { item in
content(item).aspectRatio(aspectRatio, contentMode: .fit)
}
Spacer(minLength: 0)
}
}
}
}
}
private func adaptiveGridItem(width: CGFloat) -> GridItem {
var gridItem = GridItem(.adaptive(minimum: width))
gridItem.spacing = 0
return gridItem
}
View:
import SwiftUI
struct SetGameView: View {
#StateObject var game: ViewModel
var body: some View {
VStack{
HStack(alignment: .bottom){
Text("Set Game")
.font(.largeTitle)
}
AspectVGrid(items: game.cards, aspectRatio: 2/3) { card in
CardView(card: card)
.padding(4)
.onTapGesture {
game.choose(card)
}
}.foregroundColor(.blue)
.padding(.horizontal)
Button("show 3 more cards"){
game.showThreeMoreCardsFromDeck()
}
}
}
}
Any help solving this is very much appreciated. I have spent so much time on this already.
Your problem is here:
ForEach(0..<card.numberOfShapes.rawValue) { index in
cardShape().frame(height: geometry.size.height/6)
}
This ForEach initializer's first argument is a Range<Int>. The documentation says (emphasis added):
The instance only reads the initial value of the provided data and doesn’t need to identify views across updates. To compute views on demand over a dynamic range, use ForEach/init(_:id:content:).
Because it only reads “the initial value of the provided data”, it's only safe to use if the Range<Int> is constant. If you change the range, the effect is unpredictable. So, starting in Xcode 13, the compiler emits a warning if you pass a non-constant range.
Now, maybe your range (0..<card.numberOfShapes.rawValue) really is constant. But the compiler doesn't know that. (And based on your error, it's not a constant range.)
You can avoid the warning by switching to the initializer that takes an id: argument:
ForEach(0..<card.numberOfShapes.rawValue, id: \.self) { index in
// ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
// add this
cardShape().frame(height: geometry.size.height/6)
}
I'd like to have a drag to dismiss scroll view in SwiftUI, where if you keep dragging when it's at the top of the content (offset 0), it will instead dismiss the view.
I'm working to implement this in SwiftUI and finding it to be rather difficult. It seems like I can either recognize the DragGesture or allowing scrolling, but not both.
I need to avoid using UIViewRepresentable and solve this using pure SwiftUI or get as close as possible. Otherwise it can make developing other parts of my app difficult.
Here's an example of the problem I'm running into:
import SwiftUI
struct DragToDismissScrollView: View {
enum SeenState {
case collapsed
case fullscreen
}
#GestureState var dragYOffset: CGFloat = 0
#State var scrollYOffset: CGFloat = 0
#State var seenState: SeenState = .collapsed
var body: some View {
GeometryReader { proxy in
ZStack {
Button {
seenState = .fullscreen
} label: {
Text("Show ScrollView")
}
/*
* Works like a regular ScrollView but provides updates on the current yOffset of the content.
* Can find code for OffsetAwareScrollView in link below.
* Left out of question for brevity.
* https://gist.github.com/robhasacamera/9b0f3e06dcf27b54962ff0e077249e0d
*/
OffsetAwareScrollView { offset in
self.scrollYOffset = offset
} content: {
ForEach(0 ... 100, id: \.self) { i in
Text("Item \(i)")
.frame(maxWidth: .infinity)
}
}
.background(Color.white)
// If left at the default minimumDistance gesture isn't recognized
.gesture(DragGesture(minimumDistance: 0)
.updating($dragYOffset) { value, gestureState, _ in
// Only want to start dismissing if at the top of the scrollview
guard scrollYOffset >= 0 else {
return
}
gestureState = value.translation.height
}
.onEnded { value in
if value.translation.height > proxy.frame(in: .local).size.height / 4 {
seenState = .collapsed
} else {
seenState = .fullscreen
}
})
.offset(y: offsetForProxy(proxy))
.animation(.spring())
}
}
}
func offsetForProxy(_ proxy: GeometryProxy) -> CGFloat {
switch seenState {
case .collapsed:
return proxy.frame(in: .local).size.height
case .fullscreen:
return max(dragYOffset, 0)
}
}
}
Note: I've tried a lot solutions for the past few days (none that have worked), including:
Adding a delay to the DragGesture using the method mentioned here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/59961959/898984
Adding an empty onTapGesture {} call before the DragGesture as mentioned here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/60015111/898984
Removing the gesture and using the offset provided from the OffsetAwareScrollView when it's > 0. This doesn't work because as the ScrollView is moving down the offset decreases as the OffsetAwareScrollView catches up to the content.
I'm trying to use anchorPreference to draw an overlay over some view in my VStack.
However, it only works in the simplest cases. When content of my VStack gets a little bit more complex, the overlay is never drawn.
Here's my code
struct debug_test: View {
#State private var someState = false
var body: some View {
VStack {
Text("Hello World !!!")
.anchorPreference(
key: BoundsPreferenceKey.self,
value: .bounds
) { $0 }
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// When I remove below lines - it works ok.
// But when I put add some conditionally-visible view and one more view
// it stops drawing an overlay.
// Apparently, `preferences` is always nil in that case.
if someState {
Text("Pooop")
}
Text("Pooop2")
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
}
.overlayPreferenceValue(BoundsPreferenceKey.self) { preferences in
GeometryReader { geometry in
preferences.map {
Rectangle()
.stroke(Color.red, lineWidth: 5)
.frame(
width: geometry[$0].width,
height: geometry[$0].height
)
.offset(
x: geometry[$0].minX,
y: geometry[$0].minY
)
}
}
}
}
}
As I explained in the code comments, when I get a simple stack with a single view inside, it works fine. But when I add a few more views and some conditionals inside, it stops working.
Any clue how to fix it?
Preferences are updated during layout and I assume your preference key held Anchor<CGRect>? which was reset to nil at the end of layout.
Here is fixed variant. Tested with Xcode 11.4 / iOS 13.4.
Note: I would recommend to use explicit struct model for your custom preference key. Consider this solution for example
struct BoundsPreferenceKey: PreferenceKey {
static var defaultValue: [Anchor<CGRect>] = [] // << use something persistent
static func reduce(value: inout [Anchor<CGRect>], nextValue: () -> [Anchor<CGRect>]) {
value.append(contentsOf:nextValue())
}
}
struct debug_test: View {
#State private var someState = false
var body: some View {
VStack {
Text("Hello World !!!")
.anchorPreference(
key: BoundsPreferenceKey.self,
value: .bounds
) { [$0] }
if someState {
Text("Pooop")
}
Text("Pooop2")
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
}
.overlayPreferenceValue(BoundsPreferenceKey.self) { preferences in
GeometryReader { geometry in
preferences.map {
Rectangle()
.stroke(Color.red, lineWidth: 5)
.frame(
width: geometry[$0].width,
height: geometry[$0].height
)
.position( // << here is fix as well !!
x: geometry[$0].midX,
y: geometry[$0].midY
)
}[0] // << just for demo, this should be more safe !!
}
}
}
}
It looks like in current tools/system, just released Xcode 11.4 / iOS 13.4, there will be no SwiftUI-native support for "scroll-to" feature in List. So even if they, Apple, will provide it in next major released, I will need backward support for iOS 13.x.
So how would I do it in most simple & light way?
scroll List to end
scroll List to top
and others
(I don't like wrapping full UITableView infrastructure into UIViewRepresentable/UIViewControllerRepresentable as was proposed earlier on SO).
SWIFTUI 2.0
Here is possible alternate solution in Xcode 12 / iOS 14 (SwiftUI 2.0) that can be used in same scenario when controls for scrolling is outside of scrolling area (because SwiftUI2 ScrollViewReader can be used only inside ScrollView)
Note: Row content design is out of consideration scope
Tested with Xcode 12b / iOS 14
class ScrollToModel: ObservableObject {
enum Action {
case end
case top
}
#Published var direction: Action? = nil
}
struct ContentView: View {
#StateObject var vm = ScrollToModel()
let items = (0..<200).map { $0 }
var body: some View {
VStack {
HStack {
Button(action: { vm.direction = .top }) { // < here
Image(systemName: "arrow.up.to.line")
.padding(.horizontal)
}
Button(action: { vm.direction = .end }) { // << here
Image(systemName: "arrow.down.to.line")
.padding(.horizontal)
}
}
Divider()
ScrollViewReader { sp in
ScrollView {
LazyVStack {
ForEach(items, id: \.self) { item in
VStack(alignment: .leading) {
Text("Item \(item)").id(item)
Divider()
}.frame(maxWidth: .infinity).padding(.horizontal)
}
}.onReceive(vm.$direction) { action in
guard !items.isEmpty else { return }
withAnimation {
switch action {
case .top:
sp.scrollTo(items.first!, anchor: .top)
case .end:
sp.scrollTo(items.last!, anchor: .bottom)
default:
return
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
SWIFTUI 1.0+
Here is simplified variant of approach that works, looks appropriate, and takes a couple of screens code.
Tested with Xcode 11.2+ / iOS 13.2+ (also with Xcode 12b / iOS 14)
Demo of usage:
struct ContentView: View {
private let scrollingProxy = ListScrollingProxy() // proxy helper
var body: some View {
VStack {
HStack {
Button(action: { self.scrollingProxy.scrollTo(.top) }) { // < here
Image(systemName: "arrow.up.to.line")
.padding(.horizontal)
}
Button(action: { self.scrollingProxy.scrollTo(.end) }) { // << here
Image(systemName: "arrow.down.to.line")
.padding(.horizontal)
}
}
Divider()
List {
ForEach(0 ..< 200) { i in
Text("Item \(i)")
.background(
ListScrollingHelper(proxy: self.scrollingProxy) // injection
)
}
}
}
}
}
Solution:
Light view representable being injected into List gives access to UIKit's view hierarchy. As List reuses rows there are no more values then fit rows into screen.
struct ListScrollingHelper: UIViewRepresentable {
let proxy: ListScrollingProxy // reference type
func makeUIView(context: Context) -> UIView {
return UIView() // managed by SwiftUI, no overloads
}
func updateUIView(_ uiView: UIView, context: Context) {
proxy.catchScrollView(for: uiView) // here UIView is in view hierarchy
}
}
Simple proxy that finds enclosing UIScrollView (needed to do once) and then redirects needed "scroll-to" actions to that stored scrollview
class ListScrollingProxy {
enum Action {
case end
case top
case point(point: CGPoint) // << bonus !!
}
private var scrollView: UIScrollView?
func catchScrollView(for view: UIView) {
if nil == scrollView {
scrollView = view.enclosingScrollView()
}
}
func scrollTo(_ action: Action) {
if let scroller = scrollView {
var rect = CGRect(origin: .zero, size: CGSize(width: 1, height: 1))
switch action {
case .end:
rect.origin.y = scroller.contentSize.height +
scroller.contentInset.bottom + scroller.contentInset.top - 1
case .point(let point):
rect.origin.y = point.y
default: {
// default goes to top
}()
}
scroller.scrollRectToVisible(rect, animated: true)
}
}
}
extension UIView {
func enclosingScrollView() -> UIScrollView? {
var next: UIView? = self
repeat {
next = next?.superview
if let scrollview = next as? UIScrollView {
return scrollview
}
} while next != nil
return nil
}
}
Just scroll to the id:
scrollView.scrollTo(ROW-ID)
Since SwiftUI structured designed Data-Driven, You should know all of your items IDs. So you can scroll to any id with ScrollViewReader from iOS 14 and with Xcode 12
struct ContentView: View {
let items = (1...100)
var body: some View {
ScrollViewReader { scrollProxy in
ScrollView {
ForEach(items, id: \.self) { Text("\($0)"); Divider() }
}
HStack {
Button("First!") { withAnimation { scrollProxy.scrollTo(items.first!) } }
Button("Any!") { withAnimation { scrollProxy.scrollTo(50) } }
Button("Last!") { withAnimation { scrollProxy.scrollTo(items.last!) } }
}
}
}
}
Note that ScrollViewReader should support all scrollable content, but now it only supports ScrollView

Preferred way
This answer is getting more attention, but I should state that the ScrollViewReader is the right way to do this. The introspect way is only if the reader/proxy doesn't work for you, because of a version restrictions.
ScrollViewReader { proxy in
ScrollView(.vertical) {
TopView().id("TopConstant")
...
MiddleView().id("MiddleConstant")
...
Button("Go to top") {
proxy.scrollTo("TopConstant", anchor: .top)
}
.id("BottomConstant")
}
.onAppear{
proxy.scrollTo("MiddleConstant")
}
.onChange(of: viewModel.someProperty) { _ in
proxy.scrollTo("BottomConstant")
}
}
The strings should be defined in one place, outside of the body property.
Legacy answer
Here is a simple solution that works on iOS13&14:
Using Introspect.
My case was for initial scroll position.
ScrollView(.vertical, showsIndicators: false, content: {
...
})
.introspectScrollView(customize: { scrollView in
scrollView.scrollRectToVisible(CGRect(x: 0, y: offset, width: 100, height: 300), animated: false)
})
If needed the height may be calculated from the screen size or the element itself.
This solution is for Vertical scroll. For horizontal you should specify x and leave y as 0
Thanks Asperi, great tip. I needed to have a List scroll up when new entries where added outside the view. Reworked to suit macOS.
I took the state/proxy variable to an environmental object and used this outside the view to force the scroll. I found I had to update it twice, the 2nd time with a .5sec delay to get the best result. The first update prevents the view from scrolling back to the top as the row is added. The 2nd update scrolls to the last row. I'm a novice and this is my first stackoverflow post :o
Updated for MacOS:
struct ListScrollingHelper: NSViewRepresentable {
let proxy: ListScrollingProxy // reference type
func makeNSView(context: Context) -> NSView {
return NSView() // managed by SwiftUI, no overloads
}
func updateNSView(_ nsView: NSView, context: Context) {
proxy.catchScrollView(for: nsView) // here NSView is in view hierarchy
}
}
class ListScrollingProxy {
//updated for mac osx
enum Action {
case end
case top
case point(point: CGPoint) // << bonus !!
}
private var scrollView: NSScrollView?
func catchScrollView(for view: NSView) {
//if nil == scrollView { //unB - seems to lose original view when list is emptied
scrollView = view.enclosingScrollView()
//}
}
func scrollTo(_ action: Action) {
if let scroller = scrollView {
var rect = CGRect(origin: .zero, size: CGSize(width: 1, height: 1))
switch action {
case .end:
rect.origin.y = scroller.contentView.frame.minY
if let documentHeight = scroller.documentView?.frame.height {
rect.origin.y = documentHeight - scroller.contentSize.height
}
case .point(let point):
rect.origin.y = point.y
default: {
// default goes to top
}()
}
//tried animations without success :(
scroller.contentView.scroll(to: NSPoint(x: rect.minX, y: rect.minY))
scroller.reflectScrolledClipView(scroller.contentView)
}
}
}
extension NSView {
func enclosingScrollView() -> NSScrollView? {
var next: NSView? = self
repeat {
next = next?.superview
if let scrollview = next as? NSScrollView {
return scrollview
}
} while next != nil
return nil
}
}
my two cents for deleting and repositioning list at any point based on other logic.. i.e. after delete/update, for example going to top.
(this is a ultra-reduced sample, I used this code after network call back to reposition: after network call I change previousIndex )
struct ContentView: View {
#State private var previousIndex : Int? = nil
#State private var items = Array(0...100)
func removeRows(at offsets: IndexSet) {
items.remove(atOffsets: offsets)
self.previousIndex = offsets.first
}
var body: some View {
ScrollViewReader { (proxy: ScrollViewProxy) in
List{
ForEach(items, id: \.self) { Text("\($0)")
}.onDelete(perform: removeRows)
}.onChange(of: previousIndex) { (e: Equatable) in
proxy.scrollTo(previousIndex!-4, anchor: .top)
//proxy.scrollTo(0, anchor: .top) // will display 1st cell
}
}
}
}
This can now be simplified with all new ScrollViewProxy in Xcode 12, like so:
struct ContentView: View {
let itemCount: Int = 100
var body: some View {
ScrollViewReader { value in
VStack {
Button("Scroll to top") {
value.scrollTo(0)
}
Button("Scroll to buttom") {
value.scrollTo(itemCount-1)
}
ScrollView {
LazyVStack {
ForEach(0 ..< itemCount) { i in
Text("Item \(i)")
.frame(height: 50)
.id(i)
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
MacOS 11: In case you need to scroll a list based on input outside the view hierarchy. I have followed the original scroll proxy pattern using the new scrollViewReader:
struct ScrollingHelperInjection: NSViewRepresentable {
let proxy: ScrollViewProxy
let helper: ScrollingHelper
func makeNSView(context: Context) -> NSView {
return NSView()
}
func updateNSView(_ nsView: NSView, context: Context) {
helper.catchProxy(for: proxy)
}
}
final class ScrollingHelper {
//updated for mac os v11
private var proxy: ScrollViewProxy?
func catchProxy(for proxy: ScrollViewProxy) {
self.proxy = proxy
}
func scrollTo(_ point: Int) {
if let scroller = proxy {
withAnimation() {
scroller.scrollTo(point)
}
} else {
//problem
}
}
}
Environmental object:
#Published var scrollingHelper = ScrollingHelper()
In the view: ScrollViewReader { reader in .....
Injection in the view:
.background(ScrollingHelperInjection(proxy: reader, helper: scrollingHelper)
Usage outside the view hierarchy: scrollingHelper.scrollTo(3)
As mentioned in #lachezar-todorov's answer Introspect is a nice library to access UIKit elements in SwiftUI. But be aware that the block you use for accessing UIKit elements are being called multiple times. This can really mess up your app state. In my cas CPU usage was going %100 and app was getting unresponsive. I had to use some pre conditions to avoid it.
ScrollView() {
...
}.introspectScrollView { scrollView in
if aPreCondition {
//Your scrolling logic
}
}
Another cool way is to just use namespace wrappers:
A dynamic property type that allows access to a namespace defined by the persistent identity of the object containing the property (e.g. a view).
struct ContentView: View {
#Namespace private var topID
#Namespace private var bottomID
let items = (0..<100).map { $0 }
var body: some View {
ScrollView {
ScrollViewReader { proxy in
Section {
LazyVStack {
ForEach(items.indices, id: \.self) { index in
Text("Item \(items[index])")
.foregroundColor(.black)
.frame(maxWidth: .infinity, alignment: .leading)
.padding()
.background(Color.green.cornerRadius(16))
}
}
} header: {
HStack {
Text("header")
Spacer()
Button(action: {
withAnimation {
proxy.scrollTo(bottomID)
}
}
) {
Image(systemName: "arrow.down.to.line")
.padding(.horizontal)
}
}
.padding(.vertical)
.id(topID)
} footer: {
HStack {
Text("Footer")
Spacer()
Button(action: {
withAnimation {
proxy.scrollTo(topID) }
}
) {
Image(systemName: "arrow.up.to.line")
.padding(.horizontal)
}
}
.padding(.vertical)
.id(bottomID)
}
.padding()
}
}
.foregroundColor(.white)
.background(.black)
}
}
Two parts:
Wrap the List (or ScrollView) with ScrollViewReader
Use the scrollViewProxy (that comes from ScrollViewReader) to scroll to an id of an element in the List. You can seemingly use EmptyView().
The example below uses a notification for simplicity (use a function if you can instead!).
ScrollViewReader { scrollViewProxy in
List {
EmptyView().id("top")
}
.onReceive(NotificationCenter.default.publisher(for: .ScrollToTop)) { _ in
// when using an anchor of `.top`, it failed to go all the way to the top
// so here we add an extra -50 so it goes to the top
scrollViewProxy.scrollTo("top", anchor: UnitPoint(x: 0, y: -50))
}
}
extension Notification.Name {
static let ScrollToTop = Notification.Name("ScrollToTop")
}
NotificationCenter.default.post(name: .ScrollToTop, object: nil)
