💡 Enable Multi-Finger Tap Gestures in SwiftUI

TL;DR: SwiftUI does not natively support multi-finger taps, but you can implement them using UIKit integrations. For iOS 18+, leverage UIGestureRecognizerRepresentable to bridge UIKit gestures into SwiftUI. For earlier iOS versions, use UIViewRepresentable to wrap UITapGestureRecognizer for multi-finger tap detection.

Background
