How do I avoid 'Modifying state during view update' errors in SwiftUI?

In SwiftUI, modifying the state during view updates can lead to unexpected behaviors and errors. To avoid these mistakes, adhere to these best practices:

  • Use the appropriate property wrapper for state management, such as @State, @StateObject, or @ObservedObject.
  • Perform state modifications in response to user actions or on lifecycle events, rather than during view body rendering.
  • Encapsulate state changes within buttons or gestures, ensuring all state updates occur outside the view's rendering process.
  • Avoid using mutable properties in computed properties directly within the view's body.

By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your SwiftUI applications maintain a smooth performance and avoid runtime errors.
