I have the new iOS 14 VideoPlayer:

Code Block private let player = AVPlayer(url: Bundle.main.url(forResource: "TL20_06_Shoba3_4k", withExtension: "mp4")!)
		var body: some View {
								VideoPlayer(player: player)
								.aspectRatio(contentMode: .fill)
...

This player setup can not display 4:3 video on 16:9 screen of tv without black stripes. Modifier aspectRatio does not work on VideoPlayer.

How can I set videoGravity of existed AVPlayerLayer to resizeAspectFill via SwiftUI API?

You can use the .scaledToFill() view modifier on VideoPlayer:
VideoPlayer(player: player).scaledToFill()

You should be able to use

.aspectRatio(CGSize(width: 9, height: 16), contentMode: .fill)

If VideoPlayer is within a ZStack it will try to take as much room as possible. In some instance, when I am layering content on top of a video, you need to make the VideoPlayer the background of the view.

var body: some View {
        ZStack {
            VStack {
                Text("Hello")
                    .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, alignment: .leading)
                    .background(Color.red)
                Spacer()
            }
        }
        .background(
            VideoPlayer(player: AVPlayer(url: URL(string: "url")!))
                .aspectRatio(CGSize(width: 9, height: 16), contentMode: .fill)
                .ignoresSafeArea()
        )
    }
