SwiftUI Button between macOS and iOS • Lawrence Gimenez

In our codebase, our Button implementation looks like this

Button {
    Task {
        await signIn()
    }
} label: {
    if authObservable.isSigningIn {
        ProgressView()
            .background(Color(.clear))
            .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, maxHeight: 45)
            .tint(Color(.white))
    } else {
        Text("Sign In")
            .font(OnlineJobsFont.regularFont)
            .foregroundStyle(Color(.white))
            .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, maxHeight: 45)
            .padding([.top, .bottom], 5)
            .dynamicTypeSize(.small)
    }
}
.frame(height: 45)
.background(Color(.buttonAccent))
.contentShape(Rectangle())
.clipShape(RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 10))
.padding([.bottom, .top], 10)

Unfortunately, it looks different on macOS. Screenshot 2025-05-20 at 11

While, on iOS it looks fine.

So, I’m wondering where is the disconnect between the two operating systems. And, what modifiers should I change for macOS.

After, some trial and error. It seems SwiftUI’s Button on macOS won’t work perfectly with modifiers foregroundStyle and .background.

#if os(iOS)
.foregroundStyle(Color(.white))
#endif

#if os(iOS)
.background(Color(.buttonAccent))
#endif
