so i am just starting to code using the Swift Programming language on the Swift Playgrounds iPad Application, I want to create an app that displays my blog posts! the app’s name is “Individual In Recovery”,so my first problem is that the app preview doesn’t show anything

I typed in the following code

import SwiftUI

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            Text("Individual In Recovery")
              foregroundColor(.white)
                padding()
                background(.blue)
                padding()
                background(.mint)
                padding()
                background(.green)
            
        }
    }
}

and the app preview shows nothing and there are no errors! But when i remove the modifiers the app preview shows the text correctly! So I figured that i could mess around with how the text shows up by just searching for code wi that could help modify the text within the Swift Playground app for iPad

You miss the dot ahead of modifiers:

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            Text("Individual In Recovery")
                .foregroundColor(.white)  &#x2F;&#x2F; &lt;&lt;-- Add dots before modifiers names
                .padding()
                .background(.blue)
                .padding()
                .background(.mint)
                .padding()
                .background(.green)
            
        }
    }
}

Then you get the following:
