Hey,

I just cam across the WidgetKit Code along and the Apple engineer uses a modifier named

Code Block isPlaceholder(true)

This creates a nice looking view for the Widget placeholders.
The complete sample code is:

Code Block struct PlaceholderView : View {
    var body: some View {
        AvatarView(.panda)
            .isPlaceholder(true)
    }
}

On the current Xcode 12 this API is not available as it looks and the documentation does not mention it as well.

Will it be part of a future beta?

Kind regards

I'm following the same Code-along and ran into the exact same issue. The modifier .isPlaceholder is not available.

Value of type 'AvatarView' has no member 'isPlaceholder'

By the way, you might want to tag your post with wwdc20-10034 so fellow coders can find it more easily too.

According to the Response from Frameworks Engineer, it's not available in Beta 1 yet - we will have to wait.
