Hello Apple Developer Community,
I’m facing a recurring issue in my SwiftUI iOS app where a specific view fails to reload correctly after saving edits and navigating back to it. The failure happens consistently post-save, and I’m looking for insights from the community.
🛠 App Overview
Purpose
A SwiftUI app that manages user-created data, including images, text fields, and completion tracking.
Tech Stack:
SwiftUI, Swift 5.x
MSAL for authentication
Azure Cosmos DB (NoSQL) for backend data
Azure Blob Storage for images
Environment:
Xcode 15.x
iOS 17 (tested on iOS 18.2 simulator and iPhone 16 Pro)
User Context:
Users authenticate via MSAL.
Data is fetched via Azure Functions, stored in Cosmos DB, and displayed dynamically.
🚨 Issue Description
🔁 Steps to Reproduce
Open a SwiftUI view (e.g., a dashboard displaying a user’s saved data).
Edit an item (e.g., update a name, upload a new image, modify completion progress).
Save changes via an API call (sendDataToBackend).
The view navigates back, but the image URL loses its SAS token.
Navigate away (e.g., back to the home screen or another tab).
Return to the view.
❌ Result
The view crashes, displays blank, or fails to load updated data.
SwiftUI refreshes text-based data correctly, but AsyncImage does not.
Printing the image URL post-save shows that the SAS token (?sv=...) is missing.
❓ Question
How can I properly reload AsyncImage after saving, without losing the SAS token?
🛠 What I’ve Tried
✅ Verified JSON Structure
Debugged pre- and post-save JSON.
Confirmed field names match the Codable model.
✅ Forced SwiftUI to Refresh
Tried .id(UUID()) on NavigationStack:
NavigationStack {
ProjectDashboardView()
.id(UUID()) // Forces reinit
}
Still fails intermittently.
✅ Forced AsyncImage to Reload
Tried appending a UUID() to the image URL:
AsyncImage(url: URL(string: "\(imageUrl)?cacheBust=\(UUID().uuidString)"))
Still fails when URL query parameters (?sv=...) are trimmed.
I’d greatly appreciate any insights, code snippets, or debugging suggestions! Let me know if more logs or sample code would help.
Thanks in advance!
