To imitate the style and animations of the Apple TV app in a custom navigation bar in SwiftUI for iOS 16, you can follow the steps below:

  1. Firstly, you need to set up a navigation view in your SwiftUI app. You can do this by calling the NavigationView initializer and passing your root view as the content parameter.
NavigationView {
    // your root view goes here
}
  1. To customize the navigation bar, you'll need to set the appearance properties of the navigation view. In iOS 16, you can customize the appearance of the navigation bar by calling the UINavigationBarAppearance initializer and setting its properties.
.init(
    backgroundColor: UIColor.systemBackground,
    titleTextAttributes: [.foregroundColor: UIColor.label],
    largeTitleTextAttributes: [.foregroundColor: UIColor.label]
)

In the example above, we're setting the background color of the navigation bar to the system's background color, and the text color of the title and large title to the label color. You can customize these properties further to give the navigation bar a unique look.

  1. To add a search bar to the navigation bar, you can do this by creating a SearchBar view and embedding it in a SearchBarWrapper view, as shown below.
struct SearchBarWrapper: View {
    @Binding var text: String

    var body: some View {
        HStack {
            SearchBar(text: $text)

            Button(action: {
                // handle cancel button
            }) {
                Text("Cancel")
            }
        }
    }
}

struct SearchBar: UIViewRepresentable {
    @Binding var text: String

    func makeUIView(context: Context) -> UISearchBar {
        let searchBar = UISearchBar(frame: .zero)
        searchBar.delegate = context.coordinator
        searchBar.showsCancelButton = true
        searchBar.searchBarStyle = .minimal
        return searchBar
    }

    func updateUIView(_ uiView: UISearchBar, context: Context) {
        uiView.text = text
    }

    func makeCoordinator() -> Coordinator {
        Coordinator(text: $text)
    }

    class Coordinator: NSObject, UISearchBarDelegate {
        @Binding var text: String

        init(text: Binding<String>) {
            _text = text
        }

        func searchBar(_ searchBar: UISearchBar, textDidChange searchText: String) {
            text = searchText
        }

        func searchBarCancelButtonClicked(_ searchBar: UISearchBar) {
            text = ""
            searchBar.resignFirstResponder()
        }
    }
}

In the SearchBarWrapper view, we're embedding the SearchBar view and a button for canceling the search. The SearchBar view is a UIViewRepresentable that wraps a UISearchBar. We're using a coordinator here to update the text binding whenever the user types or cancels the search.

  1. You can add a tab bar to your SwiftUI app by using the TabView element, which wraps a collection of tab items.
TabView {
    // your tab views go here
}

You can customize the appearance of the tab bar by calling the UITabBar.appearance() method and setting its properties.

  1. Whenever the user taps on a tab, you can use the onSelect callback of the Tab element to perform an action.
Tab {
    // your tab view goes here
}
.onSelect {
    // handle tap
}

By following the steps above and customizing the appearance of the navigation bar and tab bar, you can achieve a similar look and feel to the Apple TV app in your SwiftUI app for iOS 16.
