Is it possible to use GeometryReader in such a way that it doesn't just fill up the parent view?
As a specific example, I want to control a bottom margin using .padding(.bottom, geometry.safeAreaInsets.bottom > 0 ? 0 : 12.0). This would use the safe area as the margin on iPhone X and a custom margin on older devices.
Without the GeometryReader my view takes up space appropriate to its actual vertical size. With the reader the view takes up 1/2 the screen.
VStack {
Spacer()
GeometryReader { proxy in // Lays out nicely without this...
HStack {
Text("Wrong")
Spacer()
}.border(Color.gray, width: 1)
}

GeometryReader works by wrapping our view inside the view builder closer, it acts as a container. For accessing the frame properties, you could just wrap the view around a geometry reader and use the geometry proxy in it.
GeometryReader is a view that returns a flexible preferred size to its parent layout. We can give our views sizes using GeometryReader. GeometryReader provides us the available width and height.
Just add the .fixedSize() modifier to your HStack. That will achieve the desired affect.
