Persistent View Failure After Saving Edits in SwiftUI iOS App

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

1. Open a SwiftUI view (e.g., a dashboard displaying a user’s saved data).
2. Edit an item (e.g., update a name, upload a new image, modify completion progress).
3. Save changes via an API call (sendDataToBackend).
4. The view navigates back, but the image URL loses its SAS token.
5. Navigate away (e.g., back to the home screen or another tab).
6. 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!
