How do I change the cell backgroundcolor in SwiftUI and iOS 14?

In my iOS app, i have SwiftUI Lists. Before iOS 14, putting this in AppDelegate worked to change the background color of the cells:

UITableViewCell.appearance().backgroundColor = .black

After iOS 14, this no longer changes the color and it has reverted to the default white.

This does not work either:

UITableViewCell.appearance().backgroundConfiguration?.backgroundColor = .black

Is there another way to change the color of a UITableViewCell in SwiftUI in iOS 14?

You need to use listRowBackground modifier for cells, and still can use appearance for entire table view background, like in below demo

Tested with Xcode 12 / iOS 14

demo

init() {
    UITableView.appearance().backgroundColor = UIColor.yellow
}
var body: some View {
    List {
        ForEach(0..<5, id: \.self) {
            Text("Hello \($0)").foregroundColor(.blue)
        }.listRowBackground(Color.black)
    }
}
