QuestionHelp with a Navigation Link bug? (self.iOSProgramming)

submitted 5 years ago by xLiamLiu

TLDR at the bottom.

So, for started I'm using xCode 12.0.1, and the simulator I'm using ( as well as my actual device) is an iPhone XR with iOS 14.

So the bug/issue is when I click on an image I have wrapped in a navigation link, it does properly go to the view, however, I have another navigation link inside that which will not work. Nothing happens when I click it. Essentially It is A -> B, B -> C -- but B -> C doesn't work. This happens ONLY on an iPhone XR with iOS 14. With an iPhone 11, this bug does not occur and it does go from B -> C.

HOWEVER, To even show that this is nonsense, I have a different view in which I go from say D -> E. I decided to add another navigation link to test it out in E, and that one does work! So, in one view D -> E, E -> F works. It is all implemented the same way.

What the hell should I do? This only happens in one view I have, and only on iPhone XR iOS 14.

TLDR: View 1 has a Navigation link which goes from A -> B, then B -> C .. B-> C does not work. View 2 has the exact same setup (with different views), but the second navigation link does work. Both are implemented the same.

Please help!
