I believe the solution to this problem is to use the new safeAreaBar(edge:alignment:spacing:content:) view modifier, as suggested by its documentation and a comment made during the SwiftUI group lab. However, I also believe that this modifier is currently broken (as of beta 2), because its behaviour seems to be no different to using safeAreaInset. I have filed feedback for this: FB18350439.
