Not able to use @Appstorage

Looking at the documentation for @AppStorage the only values that you can currently store using this property wrapper are

Int
Double
String
Bool
URL
Data

And their optional counterparts. You can also store values that conform to RawRepresentable, like enums that conform to Int or String.

If you want to store a dictionary using this method then you would have to convert it to data and store it that way.

@AppStorage("ratings")
var ratings: Data = Data() // we need to initialize it with something

Then we can save to it using

let data = ["Hello": 5.0]
guard let ratings = try? JSONEncoder().encode(data) else { return }
self.ratings = ratings

And if we want to retrieve it we can do the following:

guard let decodedRatings = try? JSONDecoder().decode([String:Double].self, from: ratings) else { return }
print(decodedRatings)

Otherwise you will have to use UserDefaults directly, you can always use onChange and State to manage it. See this example of how to use onChange. You may need to create a custom init for your view so as to populate the State the value from UserDefaults.

Though you could write your own property wrapper, this article by John Sundell explains in detail how to do it.
