How to remove the First row separator in SwiftUI List

The listSectionSeparator(_:edges:) control the visibility of section separators.

To hide the section separator, we pass Visibility.hidden for the first argument.

listSectionSeparator(_:edges:) also accept an optional second argument that controls the edges you want to hide.

Section can have two separators, top and bottom, wrapping the rows in that section. The first separator is the top edge of a section separator. So, we pass VerticalEdge.top as the second argument.

To hide it, we apply .listSectionSeparator(.hidden, edges: .top) to Section.

NavigationView {
    List {
        Section("Section Header") {
            ForEach(0..<7) { i in
                Text("Row \(i.description)")
            }
        }
        .listSectionSeparator(.hidden, edges: .top)
    }
    .listStyle(.plain)
    .navigationTitle("List")
}
