How to make Swift Package Manager package for multiple platforms

Issue #504 https://twitter.com/NeoNacho/status/1181245484867801088?s=20 There鈥檚 no way to have platform specific sources or targets today, so you鈥檒l have to take a different approach.

How to reload data without using onAppear in SwiftUI in watchOS

Issue #468 From onAppeear Adds an action to perform when the view appears. In theory, this should be triggered every time this view appears.
