This is maybe related to the new (12.3) version of XCode that came out recently but I have a very simple SwiftUI View:

import SwiftUI

struct HomeView: View {
    var body: some View {
        NavigationView {
            Text("Text")
                .navigationBarTitle("My Title")
        }
    }
}

And I'm getting this warning in the console:

2020-12-15 18:25:06.506062-0800 Shopmatic[46177:9585655] [LayoutConstraints] Unable to simultaneously satisfy constraints.
    Probably at least one of the constraints in the following list is one you don't want. 
    Try this: 
        (1) look at each constraint and try to figure out which you don't expect; 
        (2) find the code that added the unwanted constraint or constraints and fix it.

)

Will attempt to recover by breaking constraint 
<NSLayoutConstraint:0x600003636d00 'BIB_Trailing_CB_Leading' H:[_UIModernBarButton:0x7faf15d0dc30]-(6)-[_UIModernBarButton:0x7faf15c17500'Your Lists']   (active)>

Make a symbolic breakpoint at UIViewAlertForUnsatisfiableConstraints to catch this in the debugger.
The methods in the UIConstraintBasedLayoutDebugging category on UIView listed in <UIKitCore/UIView.h> may also be helpful.

This simple example looks fine but when I do something a bit more complex:

import SwiftUI

struct ListDetailView: View {
    var list: List
    
    var body: some View {
        NavigationView {
            Text("Detail View")
            .navigationBarTitle("Detail View Title")
            .navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.large)
            .navigationBarItems(
                trailing:
                    Button(action: {
                        print("Button Pressed")
                    }) {
                        Image(systemName: "ellipsis")
                }
            )
        }
    }
}

The Navigation Title areas layout is all screwed up:

    The .navigationBar methods are being deprecated. In 14.3 that will likely be the source of a lot of issues. developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/view/… Commented Dec 16, 2020 at 2:44
  • @loremipsum but if you check the code and try it, it is not! the problem is in navigationBarTitle Commented Dec 16, 2020 at 2:49

    @goddamnyouryan i did try it, not working try to delete the navigationBarTitle you will see that the problem is gone, so the problem is in navigationBarTitle Commented Dec 16, 2020 at 2:51

It had nothing to do with NavigationBarTitle. .navigationTitle is not deprecated. Seems the whole issue is mainly with the new Xcode 12.4 update, even for simple code:

var body: some View {
    NavigationView{
        Text("Hopefully will work this time")
            .navigationTitle("Error with constains")
    }
}

adding .navigationViewStyle(StackNavigationViewStyle()) fixes problem

var body: some View {
    NavigationView{
        Text("Yes it does!")
            .navigationTitle("Wow it works")
    }
    .navigationViewStyle(StackNavigationViewStyle())
}

Dude, this is the answer! And I've been searching for this for a few weeks now and none of the other questions have this answer. Most just say it's a bug and can't be fixed. To add to your answer the navigationViewStyle can be placed at the top level: ContentView().navigationViewStyle(StackNavigationViewStyle()) this fixes all the views!
almost there - the .navigationViewStyle(StackNavigationViewStyle()) needs to be at the end of the NavigationView closure, not the body. Otherwise does the trick - many thanks.
This is a bit more elegant — .navigationViewStyle(.stack)
I wonder why the error and why it's fixed by doing this???

NavigationBarTitle is deprecated from iOS 14.3. However if you still wish to use it, try to add .navigationViewStyle(StackNavigationViewStyle()) on the navigationView that will fix the warning.

       struct ContentView: View {
        var body: some View {
            NavigationView {
                VStack {
                    Text("Hello, world!")
                        .padding()
                    Spacer()
                }
                .navigationBarTitle("Hey there", displayMode: .inline)
            }
            .navigationViewStyle(StackNavigationViewStyle())
        }
    }

The new way:

.navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.inline)
.toolbar(content: {
     ToolbarItem(placement: .principal, content: {
     Text("Title")
  })})

navigationTitle is not deprecated. developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/view/…
it dose fixed the warning , but if its deprecated what is the new solution ?
@Khodour.F it's not deprecated
How does someone use the new .navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.large)!? Where do I assign the title of the list of items!?
This is no good if you want to support split view on iPad. Fixing the problem by enforcing StackNavigationViewStyle is not a good fix imho.

Xcode 13.0 Beta 1

This is still causing a contraint error unless you add the StackNavigationViewStyle modifier.

However, the documentation for StackNavigationViewStyle states:

Do not use this type directly. Instead, use stack.

var body: some View {
    NavigationView {
        Text("Text")
            .navigationTitle("Title")
    }
    .navigationViewStyle(.stack)
}

this should be the correct answer
This makes the navigation bar transparent for me.

NavigationBarTitle is deprecated from iOS 14.3 https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/view/navigationbartitle(_:displaymode:)-8buvp

You can use NavigationTitle and .navigationViewStyle(StackNavigationViewStyle())

import SwiftUI

struct HomeView: View {
    var body: some View {
        NavigationView {
            Text("Text")
                .navigationBarTitle("Hey there", displayMode: .inline)
        }
        .navigationViewStyle(StackNavigationViewStyle())
    }
}

I still get the constraints error in my logs when using .navigationTitle(Text("Foo")) and .navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.large) modifiers.
@MartinBean you can use NavigationTitle in child views of Navigation. In NavigationView, I recommend you use the above method (a toolbar with ToolbarItem).
navigationBarTitle is deprecated but navigationTitle is not deprecated. developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/view/…. So those errors might be bug in Xcode version
Using StackNavigationViewStyle() is a no go if you're building an iPad app with sidebar navigation. Also, it doesn't seem to make the errors go away.

All of the above answers are not quite complete, so I would like to add, because I have studied this question for a long time and this is what I came to. I think it will be useful:

One of the interesting things about Navigation View is how it also performs the split-screen function on large devices-usually iPhones and large iPads.

var body: some View {
        NavigationView {
            Text("Primary")
        }
    }

If you rotate to landscape orientation (Cmd + ->) of the iPhone 11 ProMax, you will see that the text view disappears.

SwiftUI automatically considers landscape navigation views and shows DetailView instead of main ("Primary").

You can solve the problem the way SwiftUI expects by providing two views inside your NavigationView, for instance:

var body: some View {
        NavigationView {
            Text("Primary")
            Text("Secondary")
        }
    }

Since I have little reputation, I can only post a photo with a link (If my post was useful, please rate it):

enter image description here

This is why the error "Unable to simultaneously satisfy constraints" is thrown if we add. navigation Bar Title(Text ("Today's Flavors"), displayMode:. inline)

Therefore, the solution is as follows:

  1. Add a second view to the Navigation View

Here, when you rotate the screen, screen # 2 - Text("Secondary") will be displayed.

    var body: some View {
            NavigationView {
                Text("Primary")
                Text("Secondary")
            .navigationBarTitle(Text("Today's Flavors"), displayMode: .inline)
            }
    }
  1. Modifier .navigationViewStyle(StackNavigationViewStyle())

However, if you want to explicitly specify that the first screen (Text("Primary")) is always displayed when you rotate, then you need to add the .navigationViewStyle(StackNavigationViewStyle) modifier()) , which allows you to always switch to Text ("Primary"), regardless of the screen.

var body: some View {
        NavigationView {
            Text("Primary")
            Text("Secondary")
        .navigationBarTitle(Text("Today's Flavors"), displayMode: .inline)
        }
        .navigationViewStyle(StackNavigationViewStyle())

Adding this line navigationViewStyle(StackNavigationViewStyle()) will solve the problem

I don't get the constraint notice when using this approach:

import SwiftUI

struct ConstraintIssue: View {
    var body: some View {
        NavigationView {
            Text("Detail View")
                .toolbar(content: {
                    ToolbarItem(placement: .principal, content: {
                        Text("Detail View Title")
                    })
                    ToolbarItem(placement: .navigationBarTrailing, content: {
                      Button(action: {
                        print("Button Pressed")
                      }) {
                        Image(systemName: "ellipsis")
                      })
                   }
                }
            )
        }
    }
}

nice! The only difference now from what I can tell is when you use .navigationTitle instead of ToolbarItem(placement: .principal with the .large .navigationBarTitleDisplayMode you get the nice scrolling behavior where the title is large and left aligned, then when you scroll down it get fixed to the center in the navigation bar and is smaller, if that makes sense. Basically the default old behavior with scrolling is different?

Unfortunately, a lot of the solutions advising the use of StackNavigationViewStyle() won't work if you're building an iPad app which uses the sidebar.

Digging a little deeper, if you add this line:

UserDefaults.standard.set(false, forKey: "_UIConstraintBasedLayoutLogUnsatisfiable")

in either your AppDelegate or App instance will suppress the errors. You'll get a one line warning that you've disabled it. I believe this is acceptable, since by using SwiftUI we shouldn't have to worry about LayoutConstraints and hopefully Apple will suppress this stuff by default since we're using SwiftUI.

I also have these warnings after updating to Xcode 12.3 today with this simple view but it looks normal with no bugs. guess that is a bug of new Xcode version.

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        NavigationView {
            Text("Hello World")
                .navigationTitle("Hello World")
                .toolbar {
                    ToolbarItem(placement: .navigationBarLeading) {
                        Button(action: {},
                            label: {
                            Image(systemName: "plus.circle")
                        })
                    }
                    ToolbarItem(placement: .navigationBarTrailing) {
                        Button(action: {},
                            label: {
                            Image(systemName: "plus.circle")
                        })
                    }
                }
        }
    }
}

Here are the warnings

when I delete

.navigationTitle("Hello World")

the warnings disappeared

so I'm gonna report this issue to Apple

this view looks normal

I see this too, but weirdly enough when I use .navigationTitle on the root page I still get the error, (but it looks fine) but if I use it in a sub view (a navigationLink-ed to view) I don’t get an error.

I got the same warnings always, but everything works fine. Now like you said, I delete the .navigationtTitle(), and the warnings disappears, it looks like a bug .

Just replace the .navigationBarTitle("string") with .navigationTitle("string") is fine. And add .navigationViewStyle.

I was running into similar issues with this:

var body: some View {
        NavigationView {
            List {
                NavigationLink(destination: SettingsView()) {
                    Text("Settings")
                }

                NavigationLink(destination: SettingsView()) {
                    Text("Restore Purchases")
                }
                
            }.navigationTitle(Text("More"))
        }
    }

Bizarrely, moving the navigationTitle inside to anything inside the List fixes it e.g:

var body: some View {
        NavigationView {
            List {
                NavigationLink(destination: SettingsView()) {
                    Text("Settings")
                }

                NavigationLink(destination: SettingsView()) {
                    Text("Restore Purchases")
                }
                .navigationTitle(Text("More"))
            }
        }
    }

I was previously under the impression that navigationTitle could be attached to any view as long as it was contained inside the NavigationView but apparently not. I have other instances of navigationTitle() being attached to the List view in my app working fine so no idea why this particular view was causing an error.

a small note.. I am wrong or ADC code is wrong??

You can read:

.navigationBarTitle(Text("Today's Flavors", displayMode: .inline)

BUT is wrong: “Cannot infer contextual base in reference to member 'inline’”

They mis-placed a parenthesis:

Right code is:

.navigationBarTitle(Text("Today's Flavors"), displayMode: .inline)

complete code if You want to try...

import SwiftUI


struct ContentView: View {
    let items = ["Chocolate", "Vanilla", "Strawberry", "Mint Chip",
                    "Pistachio"]
       var body: some View {
            NavigationView {
                 List(items, id: \.self) {
                     Text($0)
                 }
                .navigationBarTitle(Text("Today's Flavors"), displayMode: .inline)
            }
        }
}

struct ContentView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
    static var previews: some View {
        ContentView()
    }
}

PS

in MARCH 2021 Apple has fixed.. but you can try copies around with fake code... for example here:

I had this issue with following view:

ScrollView(.vertical) {
    GeometryReader { proxy in
        LazyVGrid(
            columns: [GridItem(.flexible())],
            spacing: 8
        ) {
            ForEach(displayedTags, id: \.self) { tagName in
                LogTagView(
                    logger: logger,
                    name: tagName
                )
            }
        }
        .background(Color.clear)
    }
    .padding(.horizontal, 16)
}
.navigationTitle("Filter")

I found out that the issue only happens with small screen size (ex: iPhone SE 1st gen).

I needed to avoid the deprecated navigationViewStyle modifier, so getting inspired by this answer - from @eraleyebrows - I solved it by attaching navigationTitle("Filter") to ForEach:

ForEach(displayedTags, id: \.self) { tagName in
    LogTagView(
        logger: logger,
        name: tagName
    )
}
.navigationTitle("Filter")

Now I had one issue that the list might be empty, so I wrapped the ForEach inside Group view and still works:

Group {
    ForEach(displayedTags, id: \.self) { tagName in
        LogTagView(
            logger: logger,
            name: tagName
        )
    }
}
.navigationTitle("Filter")

This was tested on iPhone SE 1s gen for iOS 15.4, and iPhone 14 Pro Max for iOS 16.1
