How to show SwiftUI preview in landscape

.previewLayout(.fixed(width: 480, height: 320)) has no effect in Xcode 13.4 and Xcode 14 beta 3

The preview is shown in portrait vs expected landscape enter image description here

To make it clear here, you did not actually set your preview in landscape mode. Two solutions for your problem:

  1. You actually requested the preview to be in a fixed size window, so to make this work, you need to choose Selectable in the canvas window to preview in a fixed sized window. I have drawn a red line around that part in the attached image. (code and image are below)

enter image description here

FContentView() //fixed size window
        .previewLayout(.fixed(width: 480, height: 320))
  1. If you want to actually preview in a landscape mode, use .previewInterfaceOrientation(.landscapeLeft) or right. You can choose either live / selectable. (code and image are below)

enter image description here

FContentView() //real landscape view
        .previewInterfaceOrientation(.landscapeLeft)
