Known Issues
macOS apps might crash with an exception related to duplicate toolbar items. This often happens when either (A) NavigationSplitViews are nested or (B) toolbars with ids are specified (View.toolbar(id:...)) and a new window is created with the same identified toolbar. (134589426)
Workaround: (A) Use apply .toolbar(removing: .sidebarToggle) within the sidebar column of the inner NavigationSplitView. (B) Temporarily stop using identified toolbars until this issue is addressed. Alternatively, sometimes it might be possible to workaround (B) by moving toolbar items around or rendering them after a short delay.
On macOS 15.1, Tabs in TabViews that use the .sidebarAdaptable style might not be selected when the Tab label is clicked. (137277517) (FB15383066)
