SwiftUI, setting title to child views of TabView inside of NavigationView does not work

Question

Why I am putting TabView into a NavigationView is because I need to hide the bottom tab bar when user goes into 2nd level \'detail\' views which have their own bottom action

Answer 1

The idea is to join TabView selection with NavigationView content dynamically.

Demo:

Here is simplified code depicting approach (with using your views). The NavigationView and TabView just position independently in ZStack, but content of NavigationView depends on the selection of TabView (which content is just stub), thus they don't bother each other. Also in such case it becomes possible to hide/unhide TabView depending on some condition - in this case, for simplicity, presence of root list view.

struct TestTabsOverNavigation: View {

    @State private var tabVisible = true
    @State private var selectedTab: Int = 0
    var body: some View {
        ZStack(alignment: .bottom) {
            contentView
            tabBar
        }
    }

    var contentView: some View {
        NavigationView {
            ListView(gender: selectedTab == 0 ? .female : .male)
            .onAppear {
                withAnimation {
                    self.tabVisible = true
                }
            }
            .onDisappear {
                withAnimation {
                    self.tabVisible = false
                }
            }
        }
    }

    var tabBar: some View {
        TabView(selection: $selectedTab) {
            Rectangle().fill(Color.clear).tag(0).tabItem {
                TabItem(image: "person.crop.circle", label: Gender.female.rawValue)
            }
            Rectangle().fill(Color.clear).tag(1).tabItem {
                TabItem(image: "person.crop.circle.fill", label: Gender.male.rawValue)
            }
        }
        .frame(height: 50) // << !! might be platform dependent
        .opacity(tabVisible ? 1.0 : 0.0)
    }
}
