Unit Testing Navigation Routes in SwiftUI

Navigation in SwiftUI often means hard‑coded NavigationLinks that can't be tested. This approach builds a testable Router.

What this video covers:

  • Creating a Router type for programmatic navigation
  • Using NavigationStack with strongly typed routes
  • @Observable for state‑driven navigation
  • Unit testing routes without the view hierarchy

What you'll test:

  • Navigation paths change correctly
  • Back/navigation logic works
  • Deep linking and deeplink handling
  • Authentication‑guarded routes

Why it matters: Navigation logic is business logic — and it should have test coverage just like any other feature.

Fastlane alternative – CLI tools

Are you tired of Ruby and Fastlane installation issues? There's got to be a better way! Discover Codemagic open source CLI tools. It is not a drop-in replacement for all of what Fastlane does (screenshots for example), but we use it at Codemagic to build and publish iOS and Android apps, also versioning and device provisioning.
