StandupFormView / EditStandupView preview crashes using bind method for focus

[jmapps2020]

Dear community,

I found that after implementing the bind method from the SwiftUI Navigation Library to bind the focus from the View to the ObservableObject my preview won't work anymore. If I try to use the preview I get a Xcode crash report.
When I comment out the bind method, the focus does not work but the preview does. Meaning I can click and edit stuff.
I recently reset my Mac and reinstalled Xcode etc. Nothing works. Can someone help me out?

Hi @jmapps2020, can you provide a sample project that reproduces the problem so that we can mess with it locally?

Also, if this problem is just with our swiftui-navigation library, and not TCA-related, I move the discussion over to that repo.

Thanks!

@jmapps2020 I haven't seen or used it as a work around before... I just noticed lots of accessibility calls in the crash report so thought using .accessibilityHidden(true) could help.

I might try wipe my laptop and start completely from scratch if no one else is able to reproduce the crash :P It's possible something is different with our machines, maybe a privacy/security/accessibility setting that's causing you and me to have problems and no one else...

@iampatbrown that's very clever after reading that report😎.
I did that too. Couple of days ago. Reinstalled Ventura and reset the Mac Hd Disk.
No luck for me apparently. It is very plausible that our machine settings are slightly different, causing the issue. If you need me to try anything that might work let me know.
Otherwise good luck trying to get to the bottom of this and I would appreciate any updates😀.

@iampatbrown , I have got another one for you. This time it's more complicated I believe. I posted about it on the new Slack channel as well but I also wanted to ask and inform you. So here is the post....

Hi everyone, I have an issue with the preview of the RecordMeeting Feature in the Standups Rebuilt. Running the app in the simulator works just fine. I did reset the previews cache but that didn't help. I hope someone can help me out by looking at the crash report, which I copied into a text editor file.

I am running the latest version of the library. I also get some yellow warnings ⚠️ saying that .alert has been deprecated, but thats not the issue because in the StandupDetail Feature the alert in the preview works just fine.
To reproduce I added 2 short screen records.

The first one is showing that I am able to skip speakers but when I hit the point of the alert it crashes, as well as I press the end meeting button.

The second one shows that when I set the destination to nil in the endMeetingButtonTapped method, the preview won't crash. Indicating something is wrong with the alert???

I am too much of a beginner to get this wrapped around my head for now thats why I am reaching out for help.

I hope that make things clear enough to move forward.

By the way I had a similar issue with the StandupForm Feature. The workaround there was to put a .accessibilityHidden(true) modifier to the preview. Unfortunately that didn't help here..
Thanks in advance.

I responded in Slack, but worth mentioning here too.

I've been running into this problem in a completely different project, and it seems related to presenting a screen twice (whether alert or sheet). For example, to get a crash in RecordMeeting.swift just tap "End meeting", then "Resume", and then "End meeting" again.

But, if instead you run the StandupDetail.swift preview, start a meeting, and do that same flow (End meeting > Resume > End meeting), it does not crash.

[jmapps2020]

Thnx for responding @mbrandonw. Did you get the preview in the other project working at the end? Or is it still an issue...

I didn't try 'deep linking / drilling down' from the StandupDetail into the meeting view but that works indeed. No problems there using the preview.

In my case, I restart Xcode, open up the project, load the preview from RecordMeetingView, tapping on end meeting and BOOM the crash happens immediately. I have no alert showing whatsoever.

It is so annoying when trying to follow along that these problems occur. I know it is not huge but I just would love to see and test from the previews instead of always running the project in the simulator.

I haven't filed a report before with Apple. Any guidance on how to do that best? And hopefully a workaround will be found quickly.

@mbrandonw,Maybe I am misunderstanding ‘reproduce’ but I just created a repo for the project so I could share it with you via GitHub. If you’re not having any preview issues than it must be a local one on my Mac or Xcode. Problem is that I don’t know where to look for a possible solution..Appreciate your time btw…Op 27 jan. 2023 om 22:41 heeft Brandon Williams ***@***.***> het volgende geschreven: Hi @jmapps2020, I'm not able to reproduce any preview problems in the project you included.

Hey @jmapps2020, I'm not able to have an issue neither with the project you've attached. Is there a sequence of actions that makes Xcode crash with this project?
Also, can you post a screenshot of the packages' list with their versions, from the left sidebar in Xcode?

Hi @tgrapperon ,

Thanks for helping.

I added screenshots and a recording.
I don't take specific actions.
I just open Xcode, go to the project, navigate to StandupForm and try to interact with the preview

@jmapps2020 Thanks for the screenshot. Theses packages versions are the same that I have. It was just to confirm that we were on the same configuration.
