been searching for this everywhere and can't find anything around this, I believe is a bug, maybe is not. I need NavigationView with .navigationViewStyle(.stack) to have it stacked on the iPad and make it look the same as the iphone, now suppose you have this view: import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @State var isShowingProfile = false @State var isNavigationViewShowing = true var body: some View { if isNavigationViewShowing { NavigationView { VStack { Button("Simple view") { isNavigationViewShowing = false } .padding() Button("Profile navigation") { isShowingProfile = true } .padding() NavigationLink( destination: ProfileView(), isActive: $isShowingProfile ) { EmptyView() } } .frame( minWidth: 0, maxWidth: .infinity, minHeight: 0, maxHeight: .infinity ) .background(Color.gray) .navigationBarHidden(true) } .navigationViewStyle(.stack) } else { VStack { Button("Show NavigationView"){ isNavigationViewShowing = true } .padding() } .frame( minWidth: 0, maxWidth: .infinity, minHeight: 0, maxHeight: .infinity ).background(Color.yellow) } } } struct ProfileView: View { var body: some View { Text("This is a profile") } } struct ContentView_Previews: PreviewProvider { static var previews: some View { ContentView() } } Well this just show this 3 simple views: The navigationView when you start The Profile view if you tap on "Profile navigation" Finally the Simple view with is trigger by the conditional state pressing "Simple view" Up to here is all fine and good. The problem is when on the "Simple view" tap "Show NavigationView", then the app opens the first view, but the NavigationView ignores the .navigationBarHidden(true) and just show a big empty space on the top. In fact, it would ignore things like .navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.inline) and just show the large version of the navigationBar This is working correctly in all iOS 14.x, but on iOS 15.0 seems broken. The behaviour continues to be the same on iOS 15.1 beta. Any idea whats going on? I'm not really interested in changing the conditionals on the view, because real life app is more complex. Also, I tried ViewBuilder without any success. And if I take out .navigationViewStyle(.stack) it works all fine on iOS 15, but then the view on the iPad is with the side menu. Thanks a lot for any tip or help, you should be able to reproduce in simulator and real device.
