How to disable user interaction on SwiftUI view?

swift swiftui user-interaction

Let's say I have a SwiftUI view hierarchy that looks like this:

ZStack() {
    ScrollView {
        ...
    }
    Text("Hello.")
}

The Text view blocks touch events from reaching the underlying ScrollView.

With UIKit, I'd use something like .isUserInteractionEnabled to control this, but I can't find any way to do this with SwiftUI.

I've tried adding a Gesture with a GestureMask of .none on the text view, but that doesn't seem to work.

I hope I'm missing something obvious here, because I need to put some status information on top of the scroll view.

What about using the .allowsHitTesting()?

From my understanding it should pass the gesture to the view behind if it's disabled.

ZStack() {
    ScrollView {
        ...
    }
    Text("Hello.").allowsHitTesting(false)
}
