In Xcode 12, does the CoreData / SwiftUI 2.0 template give you an app that only displays a white screen? Well...

In ContentView, replace the body with this...

Code Block swiftvar body: some View {
	NavigationView {
		List {
			ForEach(items) { item in
				Text("Item at \(item.timestamp!, formatter: itemFormatter)")
			}
			.onDelete(perform: deleteItems)
		}
		.toolbar {
			ToolbarItem(placement: .navigationBarLeading) {
				#if os(iOS)
				EditButton()
				#endif
			}
			ToolbarItem(placement: .navigationBarTrailing) {
				Button(action: addItem) {
					Label("Add Item", systemImage: "plus")
				}
			}
		}
	}
}

Nice suggestion! Thanks for posting.

The template in Xcode 12.2 beta produces a blank white screen on iOS

Hi there,

If you add a new navigation view and a new horizontal stack view in the body then you can solve the blank screen issue with an ease.

Here goes the code:

Code Block swiftvar body: some View {
        NavigationView { // NEW
            List {
                ForEach(items) { item in
                    Text("Item at \(item.timestamp!, formatter: itemFormatter)")
                }
                .onDelete(perform: deleteItems)
            }
            .toolbar {
                HStack { // NEW
                  #if os(iOS)
                    EditButton()
                  #endif
                  Button(action: addItem) {
                      Label("Add Item", systemImage: "plus")
                  }
              } //: HSTACK
          }
      } //: NAVIGATION
}

This can fix this problem until engineers in Cupertino updates this Core Data template.

Until then happy coding!
