These are some bugs or issues

Here are the issues I encountered and how I resolved them. These issues came from a project I was working on, specifically bug tickets assigned to me on Jira. Hopefully, this can be helpful!

Issue 1: Devider Color

The issue with the color of the Divider in SwiftUI might be related to how the Divider is rendered. The Divider is a standard SwiftUI element that, by default, is just a line with a color derived from the system. Here are some common causes and solutions for this issue

Issue:

when using Divider Cannot change the color

Divider()
.frame(height: 0.5)
.background(Color.l1Divider.opacity(0.5))

Solution:

If the Divider doesn’t work as expected, you can replace it with a Rectangle for full control over its color and size.

Rectangle()
.fill(Color.l1Divider.opacity(0.5))
.frame(height: 0.5)

Issue 2: HStack and VStack spacing

The issue is that I want no spacing between components. This happened to me when arranging components within an HStack in a UI I was working on.
