More info on restore state between split and tab hierarchies needed please
Please explain how and when the state should be transferred from split VC to tab controller when traits change from regular to compact. Please also consider then the middle “supplementary” column is in use. Please confirm we should no longer use adaptivity API given any showing alert or popover would likely be lost or should those also be in the state? Sample code of the relevant parts of the Shortcuts app would be very useful as this is a very difficult design pattern and it seems it is essential for cross platform apps targeting iPhone/iPad/Catalyst.

How to fix the issue in the code shown at 21:40
At 21:40 in the video the following code is shown: (sorry for the screenshot but this talk doesn't have code copy enabled) Luca points out this results in new view and storage every time dayTime changes. Say you wanted to fix it so it doesn't create a new view and storage every time, how would you do that? Like this maybe? var body: some View { let cr = CatRecorder() if dayTime { return cr.nightTimeStyle() } else { return cr } } But this code doesn't look very declarative. I've seen many struggle with applying modifiers conditionally (especially .hidden()) so thought I'd ask.

How to show SwiftUI PhotosPicker programatically
Hi I would like to show the PhotosPicker programatically the same way we can do with sheet(isPresented: Binding<Bool>) and fullScreenCover(isPresented: Binding<Bool>), i.e. I would like: photosPicker(isPresented: Binding<Bool>, selectedItem: Binding<PhotosPickerItem?>). This would allow me to have multiple buttons that show the picker and would make all my code that shows sheets consistent, thanks for reading.

When to purge the persistent history?
I enjoyed the video thanks. At 6mins when David said "You don't need to do anything else and your data will be indexed in Spotlight.". What immediately came to mind was what about cleaning up the persistent history? I had a brief look at the docs and noticed that indexDidUpdateNotification includes NSPersistentHistoryTokenKey should we listen for that and then purge the history? And what if we have multiple components requiring use of the persistent history? Is there a recommended strategy for deleting only the history not required by the Spotlight indexer and other components?

The new modifyRecordsResultBlock behaves differently from modifyRecordsCompletionBlock
Hi I noticed with CKModifyRecordsOperation, modifyRecordsResultBlock works differently from the now deprecated modifyRecordsCompletionBlock. When using a savePolicy of ifServerRecordUnchanged (which is the default), if the record on the server has been changed since it was downloaded, edited and saved again then modifyRecordsResultBlock unexpectedly does not error. But modifyRecordsCompletionBlock does error which is what I would expect. The kind of error in this case looks like this: "Server Record Changed" (14/2004); server message = "client oplock error updating record"; My question is, is this new behavior by design? By the way, I'm having to write my own async/await version of save records using withTaskCancellationHandler and withCheckedThrowingContinuation because the built-in one does not support task cancellation which I require to use with SwiftUI's .task modifier. Finally, modifyRecordsResultBlock and the other 2 new ones are missing its documentation because it hasn't used the correct DocC format, it's using old style comments which are not being picked up.

Does ModelContext fetch() return an auto-updating results array?
I was wondering if ModelContext's fetch() contains an auto-updating results array? I ask because there is no documentation yet and in the WWDC23 lounge it was suggested by Debbie G to use fetch() to overcome the limitations of @Query i.e. no way to use dynamic filtering or sorting. I suppose we would call fetch() from onAppear and onChanged to support dynamic queries that also have auto-updating of results. Personally I don't understand why @Query and the old @FetchRequest were implemented as property wrappers instead of SwiftUI modifiers, e.g. .fetch(predicate:sort:) to match other modifiers like .task(id:). I was hoping for it to behave similar to Date's formatted() that returns a locale-aware string that automatically invalidates SwiftUI Text when the locale changes. Although I'm not exactly sure how it works. If fetch() doesn't auto-update then what would be the point of using it instead of just using NSFetchRequest with dictionary result type to get data into a SwiftUI view struct fast and memory efficient.

Code missing from WWDC session video 10210
I noticed the code snippets are missing from the wwdc2024 10210 video titled Bring your app’s core features to users with App Intents https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2024/10210/ It would be useful if those could be added. I also noticed the transcript is missing from the web version but it is in the Developer app, that is odd.

Why is PersistentModel a protocol and not a class?
PersistentModel is a protocol but would make more sense as a class that we then subclass. If all of the implementation was in a parent class of our model classes then there wouldn't be all the problems caused by requiring the use of the @Model macro, e.g. default property values not working, unable to subclass, overriding get/set not possible, conflict in property names...

Duplicate bar buttons appear when .toolbar is applied to a Group View
Is it normal behaviour that when I apply a .toolbar to a Group that I see duplicate buttons equal to the number of Views in the Group? e.g. Group { Text("1") Text("2") Text("3") } .toolbar { Button("Hi") { } } Results in 3 toolbar buttons appearing in the UI, like in this screenshot: If not, then I'll submit feedback about this bug but thought I'd ask first.

SwiftUI FocusState is not working in FocusCookbook sample project
I gave the FocusCookbook sample project a try and FocusState is not working correctly on iOS 18. I understand the sample was originally designed for iOS 17 when it was released along side the WWDC 2023 talk The SwiftUI Cookbook for Focus. however I am suprised it no longer works on iOS 18. E.g. when I launch the app on iPhone 16 Pro simulator (Xcode 16.2, iOS 18.2 Simulator) and tap the grocery list nav bar button, the grocery sheet appears however the last entry text field is not focused like .defaultFocus is designed to do. Futhermore, if I tap the add (+) button and a new entry is added, despite the addEmptyItem() func setting the currentItemID which is the @FocusState var the focus does not change to the new text field. Is FocusState broken on iOS 18? Relevant code from GroceryListView.swift import SwiftUI struct GroceryListView: View { @Environment(\.dismiss) private var dismiss @Binding var list: GroceryList @FocusState private var currentItemID: GroceryList.Item.ID? var body: some View { List($list.items) { $item in HStack { Toggle("Obtained", isOn: $item.isObtained) TextField("Item Name", text: $item.name) .onSubmit { addEmptyItem() } .focused($currentItemID, equals: item.id) } } .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .cancellationAction) { doneButton } ToolbarItem(placement: .primaryAction) { newItemButton } } .defaultFocus($currentItemID, list.items.last?.id) } // MARK: New item private func addEmptyItem() { let newItem = list.addItem() currentItemID = newItem.id } private var newItemButton: some View { Button { addEmptyItem() } label: { Label("New Item", systemImage: "plus") } } private var doneButton: some View { Button { dismiss() } label: { Text("Done") } } }

Mistake about CKReference in Using Core Data With CloudKit (WWDC 2019)
The presenter says "you might be wondering why we don't do this with CKReference instead. And that's because CKReference has some limitations that we don't think work well for Core Data clients. Namely that it's limited to 750 total objects." However, that isn't correct, the 750 limit is only for references that have a delete action: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/cloudkit/ckrecord/reference Important There is a hard limit to the number of references with a CKRecord.ReferenceAction.deleteSelf action that any one record can have. This limit is 750 references, and any attempt to exceed it results in an error from the server. This is why the Notes app has no issue with more than 750 note records with a reference to a folder record. I really wish NSPersistentCloudKitContainer had used CKReference and also that _CKReferenceActionValidate was made public. CKShare has limitations too, yet it used that and there was no custom sharing done like custom references were done.
