SwiftUI List reload causes crash

Question

I get a crash when reloading a List based on some search results. The results may change out the sections and rows. The error returned looks like an internal error because sometimes it works and sometimes it crashes on the same search string.

Error:

Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Attempt to create two animations for cell'

The List code is:

                        ForEach(self.searchData.matches[groupKey]!) { searchResult in
                            
                            SearchResultRow(result: searchResult)

Ah, found it. In my section creation, I was casting my dictionary keys into an Array but not sorting them, so the sections would get out of order. Sorted/keeping them in the same order keeps the crash from happening, but it's still weird that reordering sections would cause a crash.

Thank you! I spent so much time trying to figure it out what's the problem! I'm exactly in the same case trying to represent a dictionary that I mapped to a tuple

[(Category: [Item])]

it worked great but I really needed to sort it like that for instance:

private var searchCategories: [(Category, [Item])] {
    viewModel.searchResults
        .map { $0 }
        .sorted(by: \.key.rawValue) // You really need that to avoid crashes!
}

And my views

private var searchList: some View {
    List {
        ForEach(searchCategories, id: \.0, content: searchSection)
    }.modifier(DismissingKeyboardOnSwipe())
}

private func searchSection(category: Category, items: [Item]) -> some View {
    Section(header: header(category: category)) {
        ForEach(items, content: searchItemRow)
    }
}

private func searchItemRow(item: Item) -> some View {
    NavigationLink(destination: ItemDetailView(item: item)) {
        ItemRowView(item: item)
    }
}

I encountered the same error and stumbled onto this thread. Its helped me fix the issue, using another solution - in case anyone is interested. My List displays search results based on two search parameters, and the results were clubbed into Sections, where each Section consolidated the results for one parameter. The List displays fine when the search is first run. But changing the parameters or the interval caused the Sections to change their order leading to the same crash as described on this thread. I solved it by assigning an ID value to the List. And then changed this ID each time the user taps the search button to generate a new search. eg

@State var listID = 1

List {
     ForEach(parameter1){
           Section {
                 //all the rows matching this parameter
           }
     }
}
.id(listID) //this solved the issue

Button(action:{
          self.fetchResults
          self.listID += 1         //increment the ID, thereby causing the List to reset its state and prevents the crash
    }, label: {
          Text("Search")
    }
)

Hope it helps anyone who faces the same crash error!
