TIL swiftUI can render anything in metal, scrolling in LazyVStack with an extensive list has never been this smooth, thanks to the .drawingGroup() modifier!

SwiftUI has three similarly named grouping modifiers: geometryGroup(), compositingGroup() and drawingGroup(). If, like me, you sometimes forget which one does what, I’ve just published a guide explaining how they differ and when to use each one: nilcoalescing.com/blog/Geometr...

It’s nice but it’ll only work with SwiftUI primitive views. I couldn’t do that in ice cubes because of images etc….
You put your drawingGroup on the whole stack? Or on the rows.

Advanced SwiftUI performance tips: when and how to utilise Metal with drawingGroup()
SwiftUI includes the drawingGroup() modifier, which uses Metal to render a view as a single pre-rendered texture before drawing in on-screen. This invokes the GPU to flatten complex view hierarchies into bitmaps.

I believe that yellow background + prohibited symbol means you’re trying to render a SwiftUI view backed by a UIKit/AppKit view through something that only supports rendering “pure” SwiftUI views.
Saw that a lot when using drawingGroup(opaque:colorMode:) (this behavior is even documented there).

Such a nice little article explaining the difference of the group modifiers nilcoalescing.com/blog/Geometr... I used the drawingGroup() in onboardings on pieces of UI that I need to render statically. It felt like a cheat code when I found it for Camp Notes onboarding.

You’re amazing, Natalia! 🙌
Thanks for this article. I know and use compositingGroup but I didn’t know about the other two 🤯
BTW, if there’s and example image for drawingGroup, it’s not loading for me. And the example images for the other two were very useful!

Ever wondered why your SwiftUI animation looks like it's falling apart? It's usually a geometry or compositing boundary issue.

In my case, when the list has more than 40 rows, it starts getting slow. Adding .drawingGroup() to the rows significantly improved performance, although I still don’t know the best practice for using this modifier.
