SwiftUI Tutorial 2024: Master Navigation - NavigationStack, NavigationPath & NavigationDestination
summary
Shows how NavigationStack plus NavigationPath and NavigationDestination replace NavigationView: a worked demo (continents → countries → detail) eliminates unwanted eager view initialization, supports programmatic pushes, and encodes the path for state restoration. Builds a Router enum (hashable + codable) to push/pop/reset and wires it into child views; uses NavigationSplitView for iPad sidebar layouts. Notes concrete limits: root view sits outside the stack, no built‑in pop‑to‑arbitrary, limited nav bar customization, and no direct modal/tab integration. Code examples compile and the demos resolve the initialization and programmatic navigation issues.
