How to show two alerts in swift ui one followed by the other

Question

I want to make an application where the users will press one button, and then, when they have chosen an option, another alerts pops up. When I try something similar to this;

struct ContentView: View {
@State private var showingAlert = false
@State private var showingAlertII = false

var body: some View {
        Button(action: {
            self.showingAlert = true
        }, label: {
            Text("button")
                .alert(isPresented: $showingAlert) {
                    Alert(title: Text("Option one or two"), message: Text("choose"), primaryButton: .default(Text("one"), action: {

        // do some specific actions
                        self.showingAlertII = true
                    }), secondaryButton: .default(Text("two"), action: {
                       //do some other stuff
                        self.showingAlertII = true
                    }))

            }
            .alert(isPresented: $showingAlertII) {
                    Alert(title: Text("Option A or B"), message: Text("choose"), primaryButton: .default(Text("Split"), action: {
                        // do something
                    }), secondaryButton: .default(Text("B"), action: {
                        //do something 
                    }))

            }
        })

No alert is showing. Note that there is another tutorial: How can I have two alerts on one view in SwiftUI? similar to this, however, using .first notation and returning one or another will not work for me because I want both to be shown, one after another.

You cannot make two .alert calls directly behind each other without overwriting one of them. The key is to get all the logic inside a single .alert call.

import SwiftUI

enum ActiveAlert {
    case first, second, third
}

struct ContentView: View {
    @State private var showingAlert = false
    @State private var activeAlert: ActiveAlert = .first

    var body: some View {
        Button(action: {
            self.showAlert(.first)
        }, label: {
            Text("button")
            .alert(isPresented: $showingAlert) {
                switch activeAlert {
                    case .first:
                        return Alert(title: Text("First Alert"), dismissButton: .default(Text("Next"), action: {
                            self.showAlert(.second)
                        }))
                    case .second:
                        return Alert(title: Text("Second Alert"), dismissButton: .default(Text("Next"), action: {
                            self.showAlert(.third)
                        }))
                    case .third:
                        return Alert(title: Text("Third Alert"), dismissButton: .default(Text("Ok"), action: {
                            //...
                        }))
                }
            }
        })
    }

    func showAlert(_ active: ActiveAlert) -> Void {
        DispatchQueue.global().async {
            self.activeAlert = active
            self.showingAlert = true
        }
    }
}
