Hide navigation bar without losing swipe back gesture in SwiftUI

Question

In SwiftUI, whenever the navigation bar is hidden, the swipe to go back gesture is disabled as well.

Is there any way to hide the navigation bar while preserving t

When using the UINavigationController extension you might encounter a bug that blocks your navigation after you start swiping the screen and let it go without navigating back. Adding .navigationViewStyle(StackNavigationViewStyle()) to NavigationView does fix this issue.

If you need different view styles based on device, this extension helps:

extension View {
    public func currentDeviceNavigationViewStyle() -> AnyView {
        if UIDevice.current.userInterfaceIdiom == .pad {
            return AnyView(self.navigationViewStyle(DefaultNavigationViewStyle()))
        } else {
            return AnyView(self.navigationViewStyle(StackNavigationViewStyle()))
        }
    }
}
