SwiftUI Prefers Semantics

Read Original

This article discusses a semantic coding approach in SwiftUI for enabling new, non-critical iOS features in apps that must support older OS versions. It uses the example of hiding the home indicator line with `.persistentSystemOverlays(.hidden)` and demonstrates how to create view extensions with a `prefers` prefix to cleanly handle availability checks, improving code readability and maintainability.
