"Type '()' cannot conform to 'View'; only struct/enum/class types can conform to protocols"
EDIT: Explanation to the problem
This code is producing an error where the poster doesn't know how to solve it.
This is a new edit of the previous post.
I received the error on >Geometry Reader. This post includes all of the code. This new post includes the Sign-Up and Login code as requested. I hope that it is in a readable format. I made some corrections that I hope will help. The code is listed below:
import SwiftUI

.preferredColorScheme(.dark)

ContentView()
}
}
struct Home : View {
@State var index = 0
var body: some View{
GeometryReader{ _ in // ( ERROR MESSAGE OCCURS HERE)--> ("Type '()' cannot conform to'View'; only struct/enum/class types can conform to protocols" and "Required by generic struct 'GeometryReader' where 'Content' = '()'")

So the problem in your code is that you are defining views inside a GeomtryReader and that's a big no no. So a fix would be to move the Login and Singup outside the GeomtryReader or even better and better practice is just create a new file for each view and add it's code in that file. For example one file for Login.swift and another for Register.swift and maybe another called Shapes which includes multiple shapes and exports them.
What you were doing is something similar to this
struct ContentView: View {
var body: some View {
GeomtryReader { _ in
Text("test")
// Here is where the bug would happen
struct NewView: View {
var body: some View {
Text("Second View")
}
}
//////////////////////////////////////
}
}
}
You can see if you copy and paste the above code it will generate the same error. What you should do is move NewView outside of GeomtryReader
Something like this
struct ContentView: View {
var body: some View {
return GeomtryReader { _ in
Text("test")
}
// This will fix the error
struct NewView: View {
var body: some View {
Text("Second View")
}
}
//////////////////////////////////////
}
}
Notice where I have moved the code. Also pay attention I have added Return to the GeomtryReader and that's because body is a computed property that expects to have a value of View but in this case we are confusing the compiler as to which View we want it to be the returned value so we have to manually specify it. If you don't want to include return then you would have to move NewView outside body or even better outside ContentView all together.
In any case here is your code working 100%, you can copy and paste it.
import SwiftUI
struct ContentView: View {
var body: some View {
Home()
// for light status bar...
.preferredColorScheme(.dark)
}
}
struct ContentView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
static var previews: some View {
ContentView()
}
}
struct Home : View {
@State var index = 0
var body: some View{
return GeometryReader{ _ in // ( ERROR MESSAGE OCCURS HERE)--> ("Type '()' cannot conform to'View'; only struct/enum/class types can conform to protocols" and "Required by generic struct 'GeometryReader' where 'Content' = '()'")
