Ok thanks for the answer.i assume that I would have my desired behavior if I set the duration for long press gesture to zero.is it possible to pass callback functions to the primitive style?

Thanks for the snippet. This helped alot. Regarding callbacks I was thinking of something like this:Unfortunately, the code does not compile.Is it possible to extend this Button/Style with additional parameters for callbacks?import SwiftUI struct ButtonView: View { var body: some View { VStack { Button(actionPressed: { print("MyNewPrimitiveButton triggered. Is it printed ?") }, actionReleased: { Do something else}){ Text("My NEW primitive Button").padding() } .buttonStyle(MyNewPrimitiveButtonStyle(color: .yellow)) } } } struct MyNewPrimitiveButtonStyle: PrimitiveButtonStyle { var color: Color func makeBody(configuration: PrimitiveButtonStyle.Configuration) -> some View { MyButton(configuration: configuration, color: color) } struct MyButton: View { @State private var pressed = false let configuration: PrimitiveButtonStyle.Configuration let color: Color let actionPressed let actionReleased var body: some View { return configuration.label .foregroundColor(.white) .padding(15) .background(RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 5).fill(color)) .compositingGroup() .shadow(color: .black, radius: 3) .opacity(self.pressed ? 0.5 : 1.0) .scaleEffect(self.pressed ? 0.9 : 1.0) .onLongPressGesture(minimumDuration: 2.5, maximumDistance: .infinity, pressing: { pressing in withAnimation(.easeInOut(duration: 0.5)) { self.pressed = pressing } if pressing { print("My long pressed starts") print(" I can initiate any action on start") self.actionPressed() } else { print("My long pressed ends") print(" I can initiate any action on end") self.actionReleased() } }, perform: { }) } } } struct ButtonView_Previews: PreviewProvider { static var previews: some View { ButtonView() } }
