SwiftUI button does not respect min width

Button {
        isPresented = false
    } label: {
        Text("Go")                
    }
    .frame(minWidth:400)  //ignored
    .tint(.blue)
    .buttonStyle(.borderedProminent)

Is this normal?

Is this normal?

Yes. When working in SwiftUI, you must always remember that every modifier like .frame() or .tint() or .buttonStyle is a method that returns some View. That means that the order in which you apply the modifiers matters. When you're having trouble getting the modifiers to do what you expect, it's often (as here) because you've applied modifiers in the wrong order with respect to the effect you're trying to achieve.

You are creating new frame .frame(minWidth:400) around the button which happens before the button style applied.

iOS Version: 16.0

Xcode Version: 14.0

Your code with output:

        Button {
            
        } label: {
            Text("Go")
            
        }
        .frame(minWidth: 200) 
        .border(.pink)
        .buttonStyle(.borderedProminent)

Output:

To respect minimum frame width we need to apply frame before button style inside button label's content as below:

Updated Code:

    Button {
        
    } label: {
        Text("Go")
            .frame(minWidth: 200) // --> need to add frame here
        
    }
    
    .border(.pink)
    .buttonStyle(.borderedProminent)

Output:
