SwiftUI: NavigationLink not working if not in a List

There seems to be a bug with the navigation link in Xcode version 11.3(11C29) which I have reported to Apple.

Note: This problem only appears in simulator. It works fine on a real device. Thanks to @djr

The below code works as expect the first time you use the navigation link. Unfortunately it becomes unresponsive the second time around.

import SwiftUI

struct ContentView : View {
    var body: some View {
        NavigationView {
            VStack {
                NavigationLink(destination: SomeView()) {
                    Text("Hello!")
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

struct SomeView: View {
    var body: some View {
        Text("Detailed View")
    }
}

struct ContentView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
    static var previews: some View {
        ContentView()
    }
}

Are you actually inside a NavigationView? The following works. But if I missed your point, maybe you can share a little more code.

import SwiftUI

struct ContentView : View {
    var body: some View {
        NavigationView {
            VStack {
                NavigationLink(destination: SomeView()) {
                    Text("Go!")
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

struct SomeView: View {
    var body: some View {
        Text("Detailed View Here!")
    }
}

I had a custom onPress property for my view inside NavigationLink which was overriding the NavigationLink press. Removing the custom onPress handler fixed the issue.

var listView: some View {
        LazyVGrid(columns: [GridItem(.flexible()), GridItem(.flexible())]) {
            ForEach(data, id: \.self) { d in
                NavigationLink(value: d) {
                    SomeView(
                        onPress: { // Remove this onPress in SomeView, to remove onTap conflict
                            handleOnPress()
                        }
                    )
                    .frame(height: 264)
                }
            }
        }
        .navigationDestination(for: dataModel.self) { d in
            ViewToPush(data: d)
        }
    }

NavigationLink

A button that triggers a navigation presentation when pressed. This is a replacement for pushViewController

NavigationView {
    NavigationLink(destination:
        Text("Detail")
        .navigationBarTitle(Text("Detail"))
    ) {
        Text("Push")
    }.navigationBarTitle(Text("Master"))
}

Or make it more readable by use group destination into it own view DetailView

NavigationView {
    NavigationLink(destination: DetailView()) {
        Text("Push")
    }.navigationBarTitle(Text("Master"))
}

In Xcode 11.3.1, I experienced the same issue but I just had to quit xcode and restart my computer. This apparently fixed an issue (of course its 2021 right now) but I was able to follow apple's swiftui tutorial without any issues. I copied this code and tried it out... worked fine for me. Maybe the issue is your "play" button on the bottom right of your screen was toggled.

Try this:

 VStack{
     NavigationLink(destination: DetailView()) {
         Text("Push")
     }.navigationBarTitle(Text("Your Text")).isDetailLink(false)
 }

Put your NavigationLink inside a NavigationStack.

struct GenreBadge : View {
@EnvironmentObject var store: Store<AppState>
let genre: Genre

var body: some View {
    NavigationStack {
       NavigationLink(destination: MoviesGenreList(genre: genre).environmentObject(store)) {
         RoundedBadge(text: genre.name)
         }
    }
 }

}

Try this:-

var body: some View {
        NavigationView {
        ZStack {
            NavigationLink(destination: YourView()) {
                Text("Go!")
            }
         }

        }
    }
