Rive RiveRuntime crash IOS when try to load a file with multiple artboard

Question

I have a .riv file with two artboards (see screenshot): • Button Play • Stars

In SwiftUI I’m loading it with RiveRuntime. If I don’t specify an artboard, it loads the first artboard (Button Play) and works. If I do specify artboardName: "Stars", the app crashes saying it can’t find the artboard.

What am I doing wrong? Bug or my setup?

import SwiftUI
import RiveRuntime

struct ContentView: View {
    
  
    
    private let vm2 = RiveViewModel(
            fileName: "star",
            stateMachineName: "State Machine 1",
            artboardName: "Stars"
        )
    
    
    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            Text("Hello")
            vm2.view()
                
        }
        .padding()
    }
}

#Preview {
    ContentView()
}

if I don't specified the artboard, the file works and load the first artboard which is Button Play

i think while adding .riv in xcode 'Copy items if needed' missing due to this reason it's not able to find. — Jatin

I don't understand, what do you mean? I drag the item and I flag the copy items if need the file is in my project for sure because if I don't specify the artboard the file works — Damiano Miazzi

i tried a sample .riv file it's look good to me. it's working for me. can you check with your animation?

here is my code and animation.

animation link: https://rive.app/community/files/24532-45875-posture-animation/

import SwiftUI
import RiveRuntime

struct ContentView: View {
    // Initialize the Rive view model with the file name and optionally the artboard
    @StateObject var riveModel = RiveViewModel(fileName: "1animation", artboardName: "soldier selection")

    var body: some View {
        // Display the animation
        riveModel.view()
            .frame(width: 300, height: 300)
    }
}

#Preview {
    ContentView()
}

i seen some difference in your animation can you please check with you animation.
