overlayPreferenceValue Support

[gili-labs]

Hi Alexei,

I read in the guide that overlayPreferenceValue and backgroundPreferenceValue block inspection, which confirms what I experienced yesterday when writing a test. The guide indicates this is under investigation. Have you made any progress with regards to this investigation?

Regards,

Hey @gili-labs , I need to check if there are any changes internally for iOS 15, but I think the approach similar to inspecting an alert should work - that is, introduce a substitute function overlayPreferenceValue2 that would capture the necessary context. I'll look into this for the next version. Not ideal, but definitely better than a complete block.

Good news: the factual blocker was removed in one of the last SDK releases, so both overlayPreferenceValue and backgroundPreferenceValue will gain full support in the coming library update (commit). By full I mean also being able to get access to the content, including by the find, and all starting from SwiftUI v1 (iOS 13).

Support has been added in v0.9.1
