Adjust List row separator insets

Starting from iOS 16 list row separators in SwiftUI are aligned by default to the leading text in the row, if text is present. It's different from the iOS 15 behavior, where the insets of the separator don't adjust to the content of the row.

We also have some new SwiftUI APIs for customizing the insets of the separator.

Integrating SwiftUI intoUIKit Apps

UPDATED FOR iOS 17!

A detailed guide on gradually adopting SwiftUI in UIKit projects.

• Discover various ways to add SwiftUI views to existing UIKit projects
• Use Xcode previews when designing and building UI
• Update your UIKit apps with new features such as Swift Charts and Lock Screen widgets
• Migrate larger parts of your apps to SwiftUI while reusing views and controllers built in UIKit

Using listRowSeparatorLeading horizontal alignment guide, we can align the leading end of the row separator with any other horizontal guide of a view.

List(events) { event in
    HStack {
        DateLabel(date: event.date)
        EventNameLabel(name: event.name)
            .alignmentGuide(
                .listRowSeparatorLeading
            ) { dimensions in
                dimensions[.leading]
            }
    }
}

If we need to adjust the trailing inset of the separator, we can use listRowSeparatorTrailing alignment guide.

List(events) { event in
    HStack {
        EventNameLabel(name: event.name)
        Spacer()
            .alignmentGuide(
                .listRowSeparatorTrailing
            ) { dimensions in
                dimensions[.trailing]
            }
        DateLabel(date: event.date)
    }
}
