In my pained search for a way to use AVCapture for camera functionality that saves an image, I found a great YouTube tutorial that used UIKit. Since I wanted to implement this in an app that has been entirely built on SwiftUI, I simply created a HostedViewController struct in a ViewController that contained the code from the UIKit tutorial. This hosting worked (and still works) great in isolation, but my app requires that the captured image be passed to a SwiftUI view (just the default ContentView file). How should I go about this? My initial thought was to pass the image as a binding from the SwiftUI view to the ViewController, but I was struggling to implement this.

Some uncommon APIs does not provide a way to customize their appearance, see example:

I’m using UIKit to display a long list of large images inside a SwiftUI ScrollView and LazyHStack using UIViewControllerRepresentable. When an image is loaded, I’m using SDWebImage to load the image from the disk.

I am trying to have a banner as the header view where the SwiftUI Color blue stretches the full width and takes about 200 points as height. I am just getting an empty view.

In the app I’m currently working on I have a view that displays an associated image at the top. I currently have the image set to ignore the safe area at the top of the screen because I think it gives the app a more modern look. The problem is that all of the buttons or text that are in the navigation bar are unreadable depending on which image is being displayed. Is there a way to give the text shadow or a semitransparent background to make it stand out from the image? Or perhaps is there another design I could be pursuing that also looks very modern and avoids these problems?

I’m looking to create a custom SwiftUI view that is overlayed on top of the current view (full screen) and contains a scroll view that allows the user to scroll vertically. When the scroll view is at the top and the user swipes down, the view should slide down & get dismissed (like a normal sheet).
