SwiftUI: Animation Issues When Transitioning Between Views with @Binding

swiftui animation navigation binding Swift

Hey everyone, I'm running into an issue that's driving me crazy. I'm having trouble with animations in SwiftUI when transitioning between two views that use `@Binding`. The first view contains a button that toggles a boolean state, which is passed to the second view as a binding. However, when I navigate from the first view to the second view, the animation does not seem to work as expected. Instead of smoothly transitioning, the second view appears abruptly, and I receive the warning `Animations are not allowed during view transitions`. I've tried wrapping the state change in a `withAnimation` block, but it didn't solve the question. Here’s a simplified version of my code: ```swift struct FirstView: View { @State private var isActive = false var body: some View { VStack { Button("Toggle View") { withAnimation { isActive.toggle() } } NavigationLink(destination: SecondView(isActive: $isActive), isActive: $isActive) { EmptyView() } } } } struct SecondView: View { @Binding var isActive: Bool var body: some View { Text(isActive ? "Active" : "Inactive") .onAppear { withAnimation { // additional animations } } } } ``` I also tried adjusting the navigation view style and using `.animation()` modifiers directly on the views, but these didn't yield any improvements. My development environment is Xcode 14.2, and I am targeting iOS 16. I suspect it might be something related to the timing of the view updates, but I need to pinpoint the cause. Has anyone encountered this scenario before or have suggestions on how to achieve a smooth transition with animations in this scenario?
