swiftui ios keyboard swift

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here, but I've been struggling with this for a few days now and could really use some help... I'm experiencing a frustrating scenario with keyboard dismissal in a SwiftUI Form on iOS 17. When I tap on the TextField to enter data, the keyboard appears as expected. However, when I try to dismiss the keyboard by tapping outside of the TextField or using the return key, it doesn't seem to work. I have tried implementing the `.onTapGesture` modifier on the Form to trigger the dismissal, but it doesn't seem to recognize the gesture correctly. Here's a snippet of my code: ```swift struct MyFormView: View { @State private var name: String = "" var body: some View { Form { TextField("Enter your name", text: $name) .textFieldStyle(RoundedBorderTextFieldStyle()) .padding() } .onTapGesture { hideKeyboard() } } } extension View { func hideKeyboard() { UIApplication.shared.sendAction(#selector(UIResponder.resignFirstResponder), to: nil, from: nil, for: nil) } } ``` I've also tried adding a `.background(Color.clear)` to the Form to see if it would recognize the tap, but that didn't help either. The keyboard only dismisses when I tap on the TextField again or the return key. I'm looking for a reliable way to dismiss the keyboard when tapping outside of the TextField or the Form itself. Any ideas or best practices would be greatly appreciated! What am I doing wrong? Any ideas what could be causing this? For reference, this is a production mobile app.
