How do you fix Xcode 14 warning: NavigationLink presenting a value must appear inside a NavigationContent-based NavigationView. Link will be disabled

Since installing Xcode 14, I am now getting the following error message printed in my console:

NavigationLink presenting a value must appear inside a NavigationContent-based NavigationView. Link will be disabled.

My app is structured as follows:

  1. I have View A wrapped in a NavigationView. The Navigation View has a navigation link inside it that links to View B.

  2. I have View B that doesn't have a Navigation View, but has a navigation link to View C. View B inherits the navigation view defined in View A

The warning is printed when I press the back button on View B, popping back to View A. The warning goes away when I wrap View B in a NavigationView, but this of course now displays View B in two Navigation Views, which is not what I want.

I'm unsure why this warning is printing, because View B inherits the NavigationView defined in View A.

I had the same issue. Adding a check for iOS16 and using the new navigationstack if true fixed it for me.

            WindowGroup {
        if #available(iOS 16.0, *) {
            NavigationStack {
                ContentView()
            }
        } else {
            // Fallback on earlier versions
            NavigationView {
                ContentView()
            }
        }
    }
