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.

UIListContentConfiguration: Cell not showing updated text
I created a UIListContentConfiguration, set the initial text and set it on the cell. Then I updated the text and was expecting the cell to show the new text and sadly that didn't happen. Here is some sample code: (void)configureCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell withEvent:(Event *)event { 		UIListContentConfiguration *content = cell.defaultContentConfiguration; 		content.text = event.timestamp.description; 		cell.contentConfiguration = content; 		 		[self performSelector:@selector(updateTest:) withObject:content afterDelay:3]; } (void)updateTest:(UIListContentConfiguration *)content{ 		content.text = @"Updated text"; } Then I noticed that cell.contentConfiguration is a copy property type. Perhaps the API could be improved to change it to a strong property type, and have the cell do KVO on the configuration's text so we can update afterwards and the cell will automatically update to the new text. The same way as how MKAnnotation and MKAnnotationView works for its coordinate, title and subtitle.

Possible to override background push limits during development?
The video discusses limits to background pushes. I'm unable to finish developing my app that uses NSPersistentCloudKitContainer on iOS 14 because I believe background push notifications are being limited by the system so I am unable to test how the app behaves when it is suspended and a background push arrives. In fact I cannot get any background pushes to arrive at all, however pushes do arrive when the app is running in the foreground. Is there perhaps a development entitlement or launch param to override all limits so I can finish my app? And if not, can this feature be added please?

Initialising a formatter object in a View body
I noticed something in the Structure your app for SwiftUI previews video, at 15:56 he says: "And now we can tell SwiftUI to format the text for this name at exactly the right time. This is as easy as defining a formatter..." https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2020/10149/?time=950 var body: some View { 		let formatter = PersonNameComponentsFormatter() 		formatter.style = .long 		Text("\(name, formatter: formatter)") } It seems to me that this is not that easy for 2 reasons. I was under the impression we are not supposed to create reference types like a formatter object in the view body, or anywhere in the View that is not property wrapped. Supposedly it causes a heap allocation and slows down SwiftUI's updates. Maybe Swift has been improved to now allocate reference types on the stack instead of the heap and this is now OK? Given that PersonNameFormatter is dependent on the locale, surely if the locale is changed then the View body will not be recomputed because the View is not detecting a change. Is the Text View doing its own observing of the locale changes? If 1 is ok should the View simply subscribe to the locale changing some how? How would that be done? Or should we make an ObservableObject for the formatter? It can track the locale did change notification and set a new formatter as a @Published property. Use @StateObject in the View for this object so SwiftUI will know to recompute the body when there is a new formatter after a locale change so the person's name can be re-formatted. Or is my guess at 3 correct that Text handles the locale change for us?

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

Bug in NavigationCookbook sample: builtInRecipes are missing their IDs
I noticed a problem with the NavigationCookbook sample code. The builtInRecipes array containing Recipe models without IDs which means state restoration fails because the recipes have new unique IDs every time the app is launched (there is a let id = UUID() in Recipe). The problem is in NavigationCookbook/Models/DataModel private let builtInRecipes: [Recipe] = { var recipes = [ "Apple Pie": Recipe( name: "Apple Pie", category: .dessert, ingredients: applePie.ingredients), Should be let builtInRecipes: [Recipe] = { var recipes = [ "Apple Pie": Recipe( id: UUID(uuidString: "E35A5C9C-F1EA-4B3D-9980-E2240B363AC8")!, name: "Apple Pie", category: .dessert, ingredients: Ingredient.fromLines(applePie)), And the same thing for all the other built-in recipes in the array. The builtInRecipes containing ids can be found in the Code tab in the Developer app for this samples WWDC session video: https://developer.apple.com/wwdc22/10054 I also submitted this as feedback FB11744612

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.

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...
