I found that wrapping the NavigationView around the VStack solves it

Did you end up solving the issue?

well when i tried both of the codes to test, It crashed xcode..

private var ads: [AdInfo] = AdInfo.allAds the other part to that is : struct AdInfo: Codable { var aid, bname, bcity: String? var bstate: Bstate? var distance: String? var cangap: String? var vip: Int? var photo: [String: String]? var adsTitle, adsMsg, status: String? var urgentAdsHTML: [AdInfo]? enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey { case aid, bname, bcity, bstate, distance, cangap, vip, photo case adsTitle = "ads_title" case adsMsg = "ads_msg" case status, urgentAdsHTML } static let allAds: [AdInfo] = Bundle.main.decode(file: "sanantoniotx.json") static let sampleAd: AdInfo = allAds[0] }

Thank you for the help. When I did the do-catch the code is now functioning. do { let loadedData = try decoder.decode(T.self, from: data) return loadedData } catch { print("Decoding error: \(error)") fatalError("Could not decode \(file) from bundle.") }

nvm, I looked through my code and found the issue, I had "Data" as one of my structs. Thank you for the help though!

The line that says guard let data = try? Data(contentsOf: url) else { I might be possible that using data wont work.
