swiftui cannot use geometry reader to make look good a cell bot in portrait and landscape on Avery device

Supporting iOS 15. With tis code I get a vertical cell with an image and a text, if there are notifications, I show a red round text. matter is on landscape my cell stretches too much, and notification is too far away. any solution I try if solves the iPad issue, maybe centers the red label instead putting it on right high corner.

on iPhone 11 portrait - all ok
on iPhone 11 landscape - notification set is a bit too distant
on iPad 10th landscape notification is very far away

on iPhone portrait

on iPad landscape

POSSIBLE SOLUTION but not clear why it is working

struct VerticalCellView: View {

    var item: WebAppModel

    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            ImageDownloadedFromWeb(url: item.logoUrl ?? "N/D")
                .frame(width: 100, height: 100)
                .overlay(
                    notificationBadge,
                    alignment: .topTrailing
                )
            Text(item.name)
                .font(.headline)
            //                            Text(item.description)
            //                                .font(.subheadline)
            //                                .lineLimit(2)
            //                                .truncationMode(.tail)
        }
        .frame(height: 150)
    }

    private var notificationBadge: some View {
        let notificationCount = (Int.random(in: 0...20))
        return Text(notificationCount > 10 ? "99+" : "\(notificationCount)")
            .font(.system(size: 12))
            .frame(width: 25, height: 25)
            .background(.red)
            .foregroundColor(.white)
            .clipShape(Circle())
            .offset(x: 10, y: -10)
    }
}

Solution

To follow up on the comments, I would suggest showing the badges as an overlay over the images. This way, the badges will never be detached from the images.

Here is a stripped-down version of your example to illustrate how you can do it with overlays. In the spirit of a minimal reproducible example I left out everything that wasn't needed or relevant. In particular, I found myself wondering, why you were using a GeometryReader at all? The size it was giving you was the size of the grid cell, but this is not particularly useful. So I think it can be solved without using a GeometryReader.

struct WebAppModel: Identifiable {
    let id = UUID()
    let logo: String
    let name: String
}

struct FavouritesWebAppsMainView: View {

    let items: [WebAppModel] = [
        WebAppModel(logo: "lizard", name: "test1"),
        WebAppModel(logo: "ant", name: "test2"),
        WebAppModel(logo: "tortoise", name: "test3"),
        WebAppModel(logo: "fossil.shell", name: "test4"),
    ]

    let columns = [
        GridItem(.flexible()),
        GridItem(.flexible()),
        GridItem(.flexible()),
    ]

    var body: some View {
        mainBodyWithGrid
    }

    private var mainBodyWithGrid: some View {
        ScrollView {
            LazyVGrid(columns: columns, spacing: 30) {
                ForEach(items) { item in
                    VerticalCellView(item: item)
                }
            }
            .padding(.horizontal)
        }
    }
}

struct VerticalCellView: View {

    var item: WebAppModel

    private var randomNotificationBadge: some View {
        let notificationCount = (Int.random(in: 0...20))
        return Text(notificationCount > 10 ? "99+" : "\(notificationCount)")
            .font(.system(size: 12))
            .frame(width: 25, height: 25)
            .background(.red)
            .foregroundColor(.white)
            .clipShape(Circle())
    }

    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            Image(systemName: item.logo)
                .resizable()
                .scaledToFit()
                .frame(maxHeight: .infinity)
                .background(.yellow.opacity(0.2))
                .overlay(alignment: .topTrailing) {
                    randomNotificationBadge
                }
            Text(item.name)
                .font(.headline)
        }
        .frame(height: 150)
    }
}
