Answer 1

I doubt this is the right way to do it, but I got it to work by modifying the SceneDelegate.swift to set the window tint color.

func scene(_ scene: UIScene, willConnectTo session: UISceneSession, options connectionOptions: UIScene.ConnectionOptions) {

    // Use a UIHostingController as window root view controller
    let window = UIWindow(frame: UIScreen.main.bounds)
    window.rootViewController = UIHostingController(rootView: ContentView())
    window.tintColor = .green // set the colour of the back navigation text
    self.window = window
    window.makeKeyAndVisible()
}

You could try setting the foregroundColor or the accentColor to the NavigationView (after your second to last closing bracket)

Answer 3

.navigationBarBackButtonHidden(true)
        .navigationBarItems(leading:
                Button(action: {presentation.wrappedValue.dismiss()}, label: {
                    HStack {
                    Image(systemName: "chevron.backward")
                        .foregroundColor(Color(UIColor.darkGray))
                    Text(username)
                        .foregroundColor(Color(UIColor.darkGray))
                        .font(UIHelper.largeSize())
                    }
                })

Answer 4

You can use the accentColor property on the NavigationView to set the back button color, like in this example:

var body: some View {
    NavigationView {
        List(1..<13) { item in
            NavigationLink(destination: Text("\(item) x 8 = \(item*8)")) {
                Text(String(item))
            }
        }.navigationBarTitle("Table of 8")
    }.accentColor( .black) // <- note that it's added here and not on the List like navigationBarTitle()
}

Answer 5

This worked for me:

let navBarAppearance = UINavigationBarAppearance()
navBarAppearance.backButtonAppearance.normal.titleTextAttributes = [.foregroundColor: UIColor.white]

Answer 6

I was trying to do the same for a while, and do not think there is SwiftUI solution yet. One of things that will get work done though (if it works for your use case) is UIKit's appearance:

UINavigationBar.appearance().tintColor = .black
