SwiftUI - NavigationBar in View from NavigationLink quickly showing then disappearing

Question

I have a ContentView containing a NavigationView that leads to a DestinationView. I want to hide the navigation bar in the ContentView, but show it in the DestinationView. To hide it in the ContentView I set navigationBarHidden to true and give navigationBarTitle an empty string. In the DestinationView I set navigationBarHidden to false and give it the title "DestinationView".

If I run the project and tap on the NavigationLink, the DestinationView shows the NavigationBar but quickly hides it after the view appeared. Can anybody help me with this?

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        NavigationView {
            ZStack {
                Color.red.frame(maxWidth: .infinity, maxHeight: .infinity)
                NavigationLink(destination: DestinationView()) {
                    ZStack {
                        Color.green.frame(width: 200, height: 200)
                        Text("Tap me")
                    }
                }
            }
            .navigationBarTitle("")
            .navigationBarHidden(true)
        }
    }
}

struct DestinationView: View {
    var body: some View {
        List {
            Text("1")
            Text("2")
        }
        .navigationBarTitle("DestinationView")
        .navigationBarHidden(false)
    }
}

You need to use variable to achieve this and bind it with your destination

struct ContentView: View {
         @State var isNavigationBarHidden: Bool = true
        var body: some View {
            NavigationView {

                ZStack {
                    Color.red.frame(maxWidth: .infinity, maxHeight: .infinity)
                    NavigationLink(destination: DestinationView(isNavigationBarHidden: self.$isNavigationBarHidden)) {
                        ZStack {
                            Color.green.frame(width: 200, height: 200)
                            Text("Tap me")
                        }
                    }

                }
                .navigationBarHidden(self.isNavigationBarHidden)
                .navigationBarTitle("")
                .onAppear {
                    self.isNavigationBarHidden = true
                }
            }
        }
    }

    struct DestinationView: View {
        @Binding var isNavigationBarHidden: Bool
        var body: some View {
            List {
                Text("1")
                Text("2")
            }
            .navigationBarTitle("DestinationView")

            .onAppear {
                self.isNavigationBarHidden = false
            }
        }
    }

There is an issue with the safe area layout guide

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        NavigationView {
            ZStack {
                Color.red.frame(maxWidth: .infinity, maxHeight: .infinity)
                VStack {
                    NavigationLink(destination: DestinationView()) {
                        ZStack {
                            Color.green.frame(width: 200, height: 200)
                            Text("Tap me")
                        }
                    }
                }
            }.edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.all)
            .navigationBarHidden(true)
        }
    }
}

struct DestinationView: View {
    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            List {
                Text("1")
                Text("2")
            }
        }.navigationBarTitle("DestinationView")
        .navigationBarHidden(false)
    }
}

Happy Coding...
