I have what should be a simple operation, show an alert in a SwiftUI app that uses a TabView. However, whenever I first show an alert on a tab that was pushed to the "More" overflow screen it immediately takes me back to whatever "main tab" (non-More) I was on before.
This only happens on the first alert, after that it works as expected. However, on all subsequent alerts (when it is behaving correctly) I get this output in the console:
2021-01-07 12:19:49.289546-0700 Test App[48718:25806605] setViewControllers:animated: called on <UIMoreNavigationController 0x7fcecf826c00> while an existing transition or presentation is occurring; the navigation stack will not be updated.
If the "Button" tab is one of the primary ones (not on the "More" screen) this doesn't happen.
This same behavior also happens with the In-App purchase popup from StoreKit.
How can I fix this? Is this a TabView bug?
Steps to replicate (using the code below):
Launch the app
Go to More -> Button Tab
Click "show alert"
Alert is shown but view behind it immediately returned to tab "One"
Repeat the same steps and it doesn't happen again (have to re-launch the app)

import SwiftUI
struct ContentView: View {
let textTabs = ["One","Two","Three","Four","Five","Six","Seven","Eight"]
var body: some View {
TabView {
ForEach(textTabs, id: \.self) { name in
Text(name).tabItem {
Image(systemName: "circle")
Text(name)
}
}
ButtonTab().tabItem {
Image(systemName: "face.smiling")
Text("Button")
}
}
}
}
struct ButtonTab: View {
@State var showAlert = false
var body : some View {
VStack {
Button("show alert") {
showAlert = true
}
}
.alert(isPresented: $showAlert) {
Alert(title: Text("hello"),
dismissButton: .default(Text("ok")))
}
}
}
