How to use .quickLookPreview modifier in swiftui


I am trying to use the view modifier .quickLookPreview introduced in iOS 14, macOS 11 macCatalyst 14 but I get this error Value of type 'some View' has no member 'quickLookPreview' every time I try to use the modifier on a macOS or mac catalyst target. On iOS, this works fine. What is the right way to present this modifier on a mac?

import SwiftUI
import QuickLook


struct ContentView: View {

@State var documentUrl: URL?

var body: some View {
    NavigationView {

    ZStack {
        
        Button("Press Me", action: {
            documentUrl = URL(fileURLWithPath: "somelocalfileURLPath")
        })
        
        
       
    }
    .navigationTitle("Open File")
    .quickLookPreview($documentUrl)
        
    }
    
}

}

Solution

  • The issue is gone now in Xcode 13.2

    So the right way to use the modifier is valid, it was just probably some bug in earlier xcode versions.
