[Feature Request] View masking preview for SwiftUI views

[amrfarid140]

Problem Statement

I am integrating Session Replay in a SwiftUI based app with some custom masking rules. Each time I need to check how the view is masked, I have to run the app, wait for the session to appear on sentry, scroll the video to find my target screen and finally check the masking. Repeat until I've got it right.

This is very tedious to do and is error-prone.

Solution Brainstorm

Add a SwiftUI view modifier sentryMaskPreview that can be used to render a masked view in previews.

Are you willing to submit a PR?

Maybe

Thanks for the suggestions, it's a good idea.

We can provide a way to somehow highlight the masked views with a background color, overlay color, or something so users can easily see which views get masked.

I believe this is implemented as the view modifier sentryReplayPreviewMask() which works in Simulator, on device and Xcode Preview.

We are updating our documentation in getsentry/sentry-docs#12517.

I'll close this issue for now, if there are any concerns please feel free to reopen.
