Can't make onMove to work on iOS, it is just not triggered. Is this an iOS bug or I'm missing something? On the iPad is working like a charm.

Code Block swift       List{
        ForEach(names, id: \.self) {name in
          Text(name)
        }.onMove(perform: { indices, newOffset in
          names.move(fromOffsets: indices, toOffset: newOffset)
        })
      }

Thanks!

In SwiftUI on iOS, Lists must be in "Edit Mode" in order for ".onMove" to work. For some reason ".onDelete" will work even when not in "Edit Mode". You can let the user specifically enter edit mode by embedding the List in a "NavigationView"

Code Block language		NavigationView{
			List{
				ForEach(names, id: \.self) {name in
					Text(name)
				}.onMove(perform: { indices, newOffset in
					names.move(fromOffsets: indices, toOffset: newOffset)
				})
			}.navigationBarItems(trailing: EditButton())
		}

Or you can always be in "Edit Mode" by setting the environment variable programmatically like this:

Code Block language		List{
			ForEach(names, id: \.self) {name in
				Text(name)
			}.onMove(perform: { indices, newOffset in
				names.move(fromOffsets: indices, toOffset: newOffset)
			})
		}.environment(\.editMode, Binding.constant(EditMode.active))
