import SwiftUI

/// Control if allow to dismiss the sheet by the user actions
/// - Drag down on the sheet on iPhone and iPad
/// - Tap outside the sheet on iPad
/// No impact to dismiss programatically (by calling "presentationMode.wrappedValue.dismiss()")
/// -----------------
/// Tested on iOS 14.2 with Xcode 12.2 RC
/// This solution may NOT work in the furture.

Awesome! Works on macOS too 🙌

Thanks sooo much

Hey @mobilinked, this worked completely fine on Xcode 12.1 and iOS. 14.1. But now, it doesn't work on Xcode 12.2 RC and iOS. 14.2.
I have no idea whether it is a bug in Xcode 12.2 RC or this just doesn't work on iOS 14.2. Please check on this 🙏

Hi @USBA, I checked and find the cause. I will update it in these two days (If the new solution in my mind works).

BTW, this code is just a temporary solution as SwiftUI lacks the functionality now, and I believe SwiftUI will provide the API in the future. Using this code, the tough case is that it's hard to know if Apple will change something next version to make this code not work again.

That's great. Hope it'll work. Thanks

Hi @USBA, updated.

Thanks @mobilinked, you're a lifesaver.

Thanks !

Brilliant solution! Thanks so much!

Thank you!
