Description
Issue Description
Multiple SwiftUI-related syntax errors are preventing successful compilation, primarily related to ViewBuilder context, brace mismatches, and return statement issues.
Types of SwiftUI Errors
ViewBuilder Context Issues
Expressions are not allowed at the top levelCannot use explicit 'return' statement in the body of result builder 'ViewBuilder'- Logic or variable declarations incorrectly placed inside ViewBuilder blocks
Brace Mismatch Issues
Expected declarationExtraneous '}' at top level- Missing
{or extra}causing parsing errors
Opaque Return Type Issues
Function declares an opaque return type, but has no return statements in its body from which to infer an underlying type- Functions returning
some Viewwithout proper return statements
Affected Files

Specific Error Examples
LocationsListViewModel.swift
Line 198: Expected declaration
Line 201: Extraneous '}' at top level
ItemCard.swift
Line 74: Function declares an opaque return type, but has no return statements
Line 94: Expressions are not allowed at the top level
Line 101: Extraneous '}' at top level
EnhancedSearchBar.swift
Line 32: Expected declaration
Line 252: Extraneous '}' at top level
Line 262: Cannot use explicit 'return' statement in the body of result builder 'ViewBuilder'
Root Cause
- Brace Mismatches: Missing or extra braces causing parser confusion
- ViewBuilder Violations: Complex logic placed directly in ViewBuilder contexts
- Missing Return Statements: Functions returning
some Viewwithout returns - Incorrect Return Usage: Explicit
returnin ViewBuilder where not needed
Solution Plan
1. Fix Brace Mismatches
- Use Xcode's code folding to identify unmatched braces
- Ensure every
{has a corresponding} - Verify proper nesting of closures and function bodies
2. Restructure ViewBuilder Code
// Instead of logic directly in ViewBuilder:
var body: some View {
let someValue = complexCalculation()
VStack {
Text(someValue)
}
}
// Move logic outside ViewBuilder:
var body: some View {
VStack {
Text(computedValue)
}
}
private var computedValue: String {
return complexCalculation()
}3. Fix Return Statements
// For single-expression views, omit return:
var body: some View {
Text("Hello") // No return needed
}
// For complex views, ensure all paths return a View:
var body: some View {
if condition {
Text("A")
} else {
Text("B")
}
}
// If no view should be shown:
var body: some View {
if condition {
Text("Something")
} else {
EmptyView() // Explicit empty view
}
}4. Use Group for Complex Logic
var body: some View {
Group {
if complexCondition {
VStack {
// Complex view hierarchy
}
} else {
HStack {
// Alternative view hierarchy
}
}
}
}Priority
Medium - These errors prevent UI compilation but don't affect core functionality.
Acceptance Criteria
- All "Expected declaration" errors are resolved
- All "Extraneous '}' at top level" errors are resolved
- All "Expressions are not allowed at the top level" errors are resolved
- All functions returning
some Viewhave proper return statements - ViewBuilder contexts only contain valid SwiftUI view code
- All SwiftUI views compile successfully
- UI components render correctly in the app
