With VStack & HStack as a container, there is still a limitation of only 10 views that can be contained within. In order to bypass that limitation, you can use group to have more than 10 views.
An affordance for grouping view content.

Group
You can always think of this as a term of grouping some component together. To better demonstrate this, you will create a VStack that contains 10 views.
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 |
VStack(spacing: 20) { Text("View 1") Text("View 2") Text("View 3") Text("View 4") Text("View 5") Text("View 6") Text("View 7") Text("View 8") Text("View 9") Text("View 10") } .padding() |
By adding 11th view, you will get an error “Type ‘CGFloat?’ does not conform to protocol ‘ExpressibleByIntegerLiteral“.
You can solve this by removing 10th View and replace it with Group.

1 2 3 4 5 6 |
Group { Text("View 10 (Inside group)") Text("View 11 (Inside group)") Text("View 12 (Inside group)") Text("View 13 (Inside group)") } |
