Ever since SwiftUI 2 released, the compiler and debugger have just become awful. Whenever I add another view (that is a custom struct or even just a VStack containing a Text() element) to the ZStack in 'viewThatCanContainOtherViews()', the code refuses to compile. Each generally also contains some Stacks or Buttons or whatever. I have a feeling the ViewBuilder is just too complex but I don't understand if this isn't how you do it, how do other apps do it? The code just does not compile and I'm sure that it's not a syntactical error somewhere because it compiles (albeit extremely slowly) unless I add another view in which case I get an error.
The generalized code format is what's seen below:
struct ContentView: View {
var body: some View {
GeometryReader { proxy in
ZStack{
VStack {
if bool1{
if bool2 {
view1()
} else if bool3 {
view1() //different initialization
}
} else {
VStack {
Spacer()
HStack {
Spacer()
if bool4 {
view2()
} else if bool5 {
view2() // different initialization
}
Spacer()
}
Spacer()
}
}
}.onAppear {
//code that is run on appear
}
.onReceive(variable) { input in
//code that is run sometimes
}
VStack{
HStack{
Spacer()
VStack {
if bool6 {
if bool7 {
view3()
} else if bool8 {
view3() //different initialization
}
} else {
if bool9 {
view4()
} else if bool10 {
view4() //different initialization
}
}
}
}
Spacer()
}
if bool11 {
VStack {
Spacer()
HStack {
Spacer()
view5()
Spacer()

Spacer()
}
}
VStack {
Spacer()
HStack{
Spacer()
if bool12 {
if bool13 {
view6()
//Instead of passing in searchedText, we need to pass in the mapView...idk how though
} else if bool14 {
view6() //different initialization
}
}
Spacer()
}
Spacer()
}
Group {
VStack {

viewThatCanContainOtherViews() {
