Description

When people are generating a project and don't add ReconnectingView, etc.. they are running into an error because SwiftUI tries to access a view that doesn't exist. I think we should do one of the two:

1. don't error if we can avoid it
2. provide a better error message to tell people what to do

Research direction

Start by reproducing project generation without ReconnectingView or another native view, then trace the SwiftUI path that tries to access the missing view. Decide whether the missing view can be skipped or needs an actionable error message. Done means generation no longer fails unexpectedly and, if it still cannot proceed, clearly tells users what to add or change.
