iOS 14's bizarre text casing behaviour in List headings

05 Aug 2020

Here’s a SwiftUI list with a section header:

List {
  Section(header: Text("Hello world")) {
    ...
  }
}

In iOS 13, this appeared like you’d expect:

Rebuild this with the iOS 14 SDK, and everything is forced to uppercase:

This is… kind of annoying. I think it’s intentional, as it’s still present up to beta 4. If only it were documented somewhere so we’d know for sure if it’s intentional or a bug to be fixed later.

Anyway, the workaround is easy:

List {
  Section(header: Text("Hello world").textCase(nil)) {
    ...
  }
}

BRB, I’m off to add .textCase(nil) to about 100 different places in my codebase.
