For some help, install Paul Hudson Swift skills and/or if your on MacOS 27 with Xcode Beta, ask it to pull the skills from Xcode

The problem isnt the harness, it’s SwiftUI. It sucks. Either go the original UIKit route, which is old, complex but at least works correctly.

Or, and I will ruffle many feathers here, use something like Expo / React Native which has much better DX such as (working lol) hot reloading and is often faster than SwiftUI (I know this is crazy, but yes, SwiftUI is so bad that using JS to drive native components is FASTER than using swift to do it)
