Text now has a default line limit of nil so that it wraps by default.

The StaticMember protocol is deprecated

This change affects all presentation style of SwiftUI views.

.textFieldStyle(.plain) to .textFieldStyle(PlainTextFieldStyle())
.pickerStyle(.wheel) to .pickerStyle(WheelPickerStyle())

Environment value isPresented deprecated

isPresented is change to presentationMode. This EnvironmentValues get injected into a presented view, so you can use this value to dismiss the modal.

struct PresentationLinkExample : View {
    @State var show = false
    
    var detail: ModalView {
        return ModalView()
    }
    
    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            Button("Present") {
                self.show = true
            }
        }
        .sheet(isPresented: $show, content: { ModalView() })
    }
}

struct ModalView : View {
    @Environment(\.presentationMode) var presentationMode
    
    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            Text("Modal")
            Button("Close") {
                self.presentationMode.value.dismiss()
            }
        }
    }
}

SegmentedControl is deprecated

SegmentedControl now become just one PickerStyle of Picker.

@State var mapChoioce = 0
var settings = ["Map", "Transit", "Satellite"]

var body: some View {
    Picker("Options", selection: $mapChoioce) {
        ForEach(0 ..< settings.count) { index in
            Text(self.settings[index])
                .tag(index)
        }

    }.pickerStyle(SegmentedPickerStyle())
}

Its animation also changed.

Beta 4

Beta 5

ObjectBinding/BindableObject are deprecated

@ObjectBinding is become @ObservedObject.

BindableObject protocol is become ObservableObject and willChange become objectWillChange.

final class FooData: BindableObject  {
    let willChange = PassthroughSubject<Void, Never>()

    var show = false {
        willSet {
            willChange.send()
        }
    }
}

struct BindingExample: View {
    @ObjectBinding var foo: FooData
    
    var body: some View {
        Text("Hello \(foo.show.description)")
    }
}

Become

final class FooData: ObservableObject  {
    let objectWillChange = PassthroughSubject<Void, Never>()

    var show = false {
        willSet {
            objectWillChange.send()
        }
    }
}

struct BindingExample: View {
    @ObservedObject var foo: FooData
    
    var body: some View {
        Text("Hello \(foo.show.description)")
    }
}

There is also new magic in property wrapper @Published where it automatically synthesize the objectWillChange publisher and call it on willSet.

So we can make it shorter with this.

final class FooData: ObservableObject  {
    @Published var show = false
}

struct BindingExample: View {
    @ObservedObject var foo: FooData
    
    var body: some View {
        Text("Hello \(foo.show.description)")
    }
}

Core Data and Combine integration improvements

• NSManagedObject now conforms to ObservableObject.
• The new @FetchRequest property wrapper can drive views from the results of a fetch request.
• managedObjectContext is now included in the environment.
