• Is there no way in UIKit to do a custom animation from the preview of a context menu to a new view controller triggered from one of the menu actions?

  I am stuck at getting the frame of the preview's view. The previewViewController property of the UIContextMenuInteractionAnimating is always nil. I can hang onto it manually, but it's not in the view hierarchy nor does it have a window, so I can't get the frame that way either.

  This isn’t too bad but it’d be nicer to directly animate from the preview to the track list.

  I vaguely recall that this used to be possible with the old Peek & Pop, but can’t figure out how to replicate this from a context menu.

• Oh my, hit a nasty #UIKit crash when using #SwiftUI in a collection view using the UIHostingConfiguration.

  Crashes whenever I change interface orientation on my phone. Can be reproduced with this trivial snippet:

  cell.contentConfiguration = UIHostingConfiguration {
  Text("Noooo!")
  .frame(width: 150)
  }

  The frame bit triggers a UICollectionViewRecursion warning and then crashes.

  Added details on my blog and filed a radar. Hopefully it'll be fixed, as UIHostingConfiguration is otherwise a good way to get the most out of both SwiftUI and UIKit.
