SWIFTUI - How to create an image linked to an URL?

Question

I would like to insert an URL to an image, I feel like it should be very simple but I couldn't make it work.

Button(action: {}) {
 Image("london").resizable().frame(width: 350.0, height: 233.0).buttonStyle(PlainButtonStyle())
            }

I want to go to "https://www.google.com" when the button is tapped.

Answer 1

To open a url in a browser on the phone, you need to first construct the URL, then you have to check that the application can actually open it and only then you can ask the application to open the url for you.

 Button(action: {
     guard let google = URL(string: "https://www.google.com/"),
         UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(google) else {
         return
     }
     UIApplication.shared.open(google,
                               options: [:],
                               completionHandler: nil)
 }) {
    Image(systemName: "magnifyingglass")
        .resizable()
        .frame(width: 250.0,
               height: 233.0)
        .buttonStyle(PlainButtonStyle())
    }

Answer 2

Use UIApplication.shared.open(url, options: [:], completionHandler: nil) at action for the button.
