Was struggling with this issue for the past few hours and just resolved it. The issue was that the device chosen from the list of simulators runs on iOS 15.2, and when I go to Preferences > Components I wasn't seeing 15.2 listed, only 15.0. So to resolve this: I went to Window > Devices and Simulators Chose Simulators Clicked on the + at the bottom left corner Added a name and choose iOS 15.0 (since it was the only one I had in the components) Selected this new device in the list then tried to re-un the preview and it worked fine Hope this helps someone.

I'm having the same issue where an empty button shows. A workaround I found is to set the opacity to 0 and put the NavigationLink inside a ZStack as if it was inside a VStack it will still take space from the screen. Not sure how reliable this is but I'll test for a few days and see how it holds up!

I confirm as well that webbguyatwork's tip solved my modal dismiss issue. Using fullScreenCover on the outer most view solved the 'no dismiss' issue I was having. Thank you!
