swiftui keyboard forms swift

I'm working with an scenario with dismissing the keyboard when using SwiftUI Forms on the iPhone 12 Simulator. I have a simple form with several text fields but when I tap outside the text field, the keyboard doesn't dismiss. I expected it to dismiss automatically as it does in UIKit. I've tried adding a tap gesture to the Form to handle this, but my implementation isn't working as expected. Here's what I have: ```swift struct ContentView: View { @State private var name: String = "" @State private var email: String = "" var body: some View { Form { Section(header: Text("User Information")) { TextField("Name", text: $name) TextField("Email", text: $email) .keyboardType(.emailAddress) } } .gesture(TapGesture().onEnded { _ in UIApplication.shared.sendAction(#selector(UIResponder.resignFirstResponder), to: nil, from: nil, for: nil) }) } } ``` When I run this code, tapping outside the text fields does nothing, and the keyboard remains visible. I've also verified that the `TapGesture` is being recognized, but it seems not to trigger the keyboard dismissal. I've checked Apple's documentation and it suggests using the `resignFirstResponder()` method, but it doesn’t work in the context of SwiftUI. Is there a better way to handle keyboard dismissal in this scenario? I'm using Xcode 13.0 and targeting iOS 15.0.
