I’m aware that Xcode version 26 beta 3 provides an option to enable Swift’s Approachable Concurrency feature at the project level. However, I’d like to achieve the same for a Swift Package. Could you please advise on how to enable Approachable Concurrency support specifically for a Swift Package?

I want to understand what the recommended way is for string interoperability between swift and c++. Below are the 3 ways to achieve it. Approach 2 is not allowed at work due to restrictions with using std libraries. Approach 1: In C++: char arr[] = "C++ String"; void * cppstring = arr; std::cout<<"before:"<<(char*)cppstring<<std::endl;           // C++ String // calling swift function and passing the void buffer to it, so that swift can update the buffer content Module1::SwiftClass:: ReceiveString (cppstring, length);   std::cout<<"after:"<<(char*)cppstring<<std::endl;             // SwiftStr      In Swift: func ReceiveString (pBuffer : UnsafeMutableRawPointer , pSize : UInt ) -> Void { // to convert cpp-str to swift-str: let swiftStr = String (cString: pBuffer.assumingMemoryBound(to: Int8.self)); print("pBuffer content: \(bufferAsString)"); // to modify cpp-str without converting: let swiftstr:String = "SwiftStr"      _ =  swiftstr.withCString { (cString: UnsafePointer<Int8>) in pBuffer.initializeMemory(as: Int8.self, from: cString, count: swiftstr.count+1) } }  Approach 2:  The ‘String’ type returned from a swift function is received as ‘swift::String’ type in cpp. This is implicitly casted to std::string type. The std::string has the method available to convert it to char *. void TWCppClass::StringConversion () {     // GetSwiftString() is a swift call that returns swift::String which can be received in std::string type     std::string stdstr = Module1::SwiftClass::GetSwiftString ();     char * cstr = stdstr.data ();     const char * conststr= stdstr.c_str (); }    Approach 3: The swift::String type that is obtained from a swift function can be received in char * by directly casting the address of the swift::String. We cannot directly receive a swift::String into a char *. void TWCppClass::StringConversion () {    // GetSwiftString() is a swift call that returns swift::String    swift::String swiftstr = Module1::SwiftClass::GetSwiftString ();    // obtaining the address of swift string and casting it into char *    char * cstr = (char*)&swiftstr; }

I'm developing an audio unit for use on iOS. The AUv3 worked fine with xcode 15.X and swift 5.X. I recently tried to submit an update to my plug-in but Apple refused submission because my Xcode was not the latest. Now that I'm on Xcode 16.4 I can't get my project to compile, even when following all of the same previous steps. As one example of a change, Xcode doesn't appear to include the “C++ and Objective-C interoperability” build setting that it used to. This setting is noted in the Swift documentation and I used to need it, https://www.swift.org/documentation/cxx-interop/project-build-setup/#mixing-swift-and-c-using-xcode Currently my C++ code can't see anything from Swift, and I get a "Use of undeclared identifier 'project_name'". I've selected Switch support for version 5.0 in an attempt to minimize changes from Apple. My process is I generate an Xcode project file from my audio plugin support, JUCE. Then I add in the swift files, click yes to create bridging headers, but c++ doesn't see swift anymore. I'd greatly appreciate any suggestions.

Greetings, func stepForward(_ input: Int) -> Int { return input + 1 } func stepBackward(_ input: Int) -> Int { return input - 1 } func chooseStepFunction(backward: Bool) -> (Int) -> Int { return backward ? stepBackward : stepForward /* Error type of expression is ambiguous without a type annotation */ } Why am I getting this error. If I change the function to func chooseStepFunction(backward: Bool) -> (Int) -> Int { if backward { return stepBackward else { return stepForward } } Why is the previous chooseStepFunction giving me an error ? Thx in advance

I filed the following issue on swiftlang/swift on GitHub (Aug 8th), and a followup the swift.org forums, but not getting any replies. As we near the release of Swift 6.2, I want to know if what I'm seeing below is expected, or if it's another case where the compiler needs a fix. protocol P1: Equatable { } struct S1: P1 { } // Error: Conformance of 'S1' to protocol 'P1' crosses into main actor-isolated code an can cause data races struct S1Workaround: @MainActor P1 { } // OK // Another potential workaround if `Equatable` conformance can be moved to the conforming type. protocol P2 { } struct S2: Equatable, P2 { } // OK There was a prior compiler bug fix which addressed inhereted protocols regarding @MainActor. For Equatable, one still has to use @MainActoreven when the default actor isolation is MainActor. Also affects Hashable and any other protocol inheriting from Equatable.

Hello I'm using this sdk DeclaredAgeRange to get the user age range When I'm doing in debug mode using sandbox account it is working as expected and I can get the user age range But when I tried in TestFlight build using sandbox account it is not working and it is always return the age range 18+ and also isEligibleForAgeFeatures API is always returning false Any advise on this?

Given the below code with Swift 6 language mode, Xcode 16.2 If running with iOS 18+: the app crashes due to _dispatch_assert_queue_fail If running with iOS 17 and below: there is a warning: warning: data race detected: @MainActor function at Swift6Playground/PublishedValuesView.swift:12 was not called on the main thread Could anyone please help explain what's wrong here? import SwiftUI import Combine @MainActor class PublishedValuesViewModel: ObservableObject { @Published var count = 0 @Published var content: String = "NA" private var cancellables: Set<AnyCancellable> = [] func start() async { let publisher = $count .map { String(describing: $0) } .removeDuplicates() for await value in publisher.values { content = value } } } struct PublishedValuesView: View { @ObservedObject var viewModel: PublishedValuesViewModel var body: some View { Text("Published Values: \(viewModel.content)") .task { await viewModel.start() } } }

I have been recently getting the following error seemingly randomly, when an event handler of a SwiftUI view accesses a relationship of a SwiftData model the view holds a reference to. I haven't yet found a reliable way of reproducing it: SwiftData/BackingData.swift:866: Fatal error: This model instance was invalidated because its backing data could no longer be found the store. PersistentIdentifier(id: SwiftData.PersistentIdentifier.ID(url: COREDATA_ID_URL), implementation: SwiftData.PersistentIdentifierImplementation) What could cause this error? Could you suggest me a workaround?

I get this red warning in Xcode every time my app is syncing to the iCloud. My model has only basic types and enum that conform to Codable so i'm not sure what is the problem. App is working well, synchronization works. But the warning doesn't look good. Maybe someone has idea how to debug it.

I am currently studying the Accelerate library by referring to Apple documentation. Here is the link to the referenced document: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/accelerate/veclib/vforce When I executed the sample code provided at the bottom of the document, I found a case where the results were different. let n = 10_000 let x = (0..&lt;n).map { _ in Float.random(in: 1 ... 10_000) } let y = x.map { return sqrt($0) } and let y = [Float](unsafeUninitializedCapacity: n) { buffer, initializedCount in vForce.sqrt(x, result: &amp;buffer) initializedCount = n } The code below is provided to observe the issue described above. import Accelerate Task { let n = 1//10_000 let x = (0..&lt;n).map { _ in Float(6737.015)//Float.random(in: 1 ... 10_000) } let y = x.map { return sqrt($0) } try? await Task.sleep(nanoseconds: 1_000_000_000) let z = [Float](unsafeUninitializedCapacity: n) { buffer, initializedCount in vForce.sqrt(x, result: &amp;buffer) initializedCount = n } } For a value of 6737.015 when calculating the square root: Using the sqrt(_:) function gives the result 82.07932, While using the vForce.sqrt(_:result:) function gives the result 82.07933. Using a calculator, the value comes out as 82.07932139, which shows that the result from vForce is incorrect. Could you explain the reason behind this difference?

Hey there- I'm having a quite interesting bug on Swift Playgrounds. I am trying to run my app with this following code snippet which does not compile on Swift Playgrounds, yet compiles on XCode (note: this is a Swift Playground app) if #available(iOS 18.0, *) { //simple function to get the indices of other items that have the same date as the "date" variable let indices = data!.indices(where: { item in let sameMonth = Calendar.current.component(.month, from: item.time) == Calendar.current.component(.month, from: date) let sameYear = Calendar.current.component(.year, from: item.time) == Calendar.current.component(.year, from: date) let sameDay = Calendar.current.component(.day, from: item.time) == Calendar.current.component(.year, from: date) return sameDay && sameMonth && sameYear }) However, the indices(where:) codeblock seems to stop the app from compiling (ONLY on Swift Playgrounds - it works perfectly fine on XCode). I am getting the following error: Cannot call value of non-function type 'Range<Array<Int>.Index>' (aka 'Range<Int>') Please let me know if you have any insight regarding this issue. -ColoredOwl

I've got a watch app, still with storyboard, WKInterfaceController and WatchConnectivity. After updating it for swift 6 concurrency I thought I'd keep it for a little while without swift 6 concurrency dynamic runtime check. So I added -disable-dynamic-actor-isolation in OTHER_SWIFT_FLAGS, but it doesn't seem to have an effect for the Apple Watch target. Without manually marking callbacks where needed with @Sendable in dynamic checks seem to be in place. swiftc invocation is as (includes -disable-dynamic-actor-isolation): swiftc -module-name GeoCameraWatchApp -Onone -enforce-exclusivity\=checked ... GeoCameraWatchApp.SwiftFileList -DDEBUG -enable-bridging-pch -disable-dynamic-actor-isolation -D DEBUG -enable-experimental-feature DebugDescriptionMacro -sdk /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/WatchOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/WatchOS11.2.sdk -target arm64_32-apple-watchos7.0 -g -module-cache-path /Users/stand/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/ModuleCache.noindex -Xfrontend -serialize-debugging-options -enable-testing -index-store-path /Users/stand/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/speedo-almhjmryctkitceaufvkvhkkfvdw/Index.noindex/DataStore -enable-experimental-feature OpaqueTypeErasure -Xcc -D_LIBCPP_HARDENING_MODE\=_LIBCPP_HARDENING_MODE_DEBUG -swift-version 6 ... -disable-dynamic-actor-isolation flag seems to be working for the iOS targets, I believe. The flag is described here Am I missing something? Should the flag work for both iOS and Apple Watch targets?

The following code works when compiling for macOS: print(NSMutableDictionary().isEqual(to: NSMutableDictionary())) but produces a compiler error when compiling for iOS: 'NSMutableDictionary' is not convertible to '[AnyHashable : Any]' NSDictionary.isEqual(to:) has the same signature on macOS and iOS. Why does this happen? Can I use NSDictionary.isEqual(_:) instead?

Hi the below array and code to output a list item works fine: var quotes = [ [ "quote": "I live you the more ...", "order": "1" ], [ "quote": "There is nothing permanent ...", "order": "2" ], [ "quote": "You cannot shake hands ...", "order": "3" ], [ "quote": "Lord, make me an instrument...", "order": "4" ] ] cell.textLabel?.text = quotes[indexPath.row]["quote"] However if I change the "order" values to be numbers rather than text like below then for the above line I get an error message in Xcode "No exact matches in call to subscript". Please could someone tell me how to make it work with the numbers stored as numbers? (I'm wondering if creating an any array type and using the .text function has caused a conflict but I can't find how to resolve) [ "quote": "I live you the more ...", "order": 1 ], [ "quote": "There is nothing permanent ...", "order": 2 ], [ "quote": "You cannot shake hands ...", "order": 3 ], [ "quote": "Lord, make me an instrument...", "order": 4 ] ] Thank you for any pointers :-)

According to the doc: The value returned is the same as the value returned in the kEventParamKeyCode when using Carbon Events. So where can I find kEventParamKeyCode?

I found a similar problem here https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/764777 and I could solve my problem by wrapping the call to requestAutomaticPassPresentationSuppression in a call to DispatchQueue.global().async. But my question is if this is really how things should work. Even with strict concurrency warnings in Swift 6 I don't get any warnings. Just a runtime crash. How are we supposed to find these problems? Couldn't the compiler assist with a warning/error. Why does the compiler make the assumptions it does about the method that is declared like this: @available(iOS 9.0, *) open class func requestAutomaticPassPresentationSuppression(responseHandler: @escaping (PKAutomaticPassPresentationSuppressionResult) -> Void) -> PKSuppressionRequestToken Now that we have migrated to Swift 6 our code base contains a bunch of unknown places where it will crash as above.

Using the DebugDescription macro to display an optional value produces a “String interpolation produces a debug description for an optional value” build warning. For example: @DebugDescription struct MyType: CustomDebugStringConvertible { let optionalValue: String? public var debugDescription: String { "Value: \(optionalValue)" } } The DebugDescription macro does not allow (it is an error) "Value: \(String(describing: optionalValue))" or "Value: \(optionalValue ?? "nil")" because “Only references to stored properties are allowed.” Is there a way to reconcile these? I have a build log full of these warnings, obscuring real issues.

NSPredicate(format: "SELF MATCHES %@", "^[0-9A-Z]+$").evaluate(with: "126𝒥ℰℬℬ𝒢𝒦𝒮33") Returns true, and I don't know why. 𝒥ℰℬℬ𝒢𝒦𝒮 is not between 0-9 and A-Z, and why it returns true? How to avoid similar problem like this when using NSPredicate?

Hello, Please can you tell me how to create an array of dictionaries? This code below should create 4 dictionaries in an array, but I'm getting these errors: For line "var output = [id: "testID", name: "testName"]": cannot find 'name' in scope Type '(any AnyObject).Type' cannot conform to 'Hashable' For line "return output": Type '(any AnyObject).Type' cannot conform to 'Hashable' var quotes: [(id: String, name: String)] { var output = [[(id: String, name: String)]] () for i in 1...4 { var output = [id: "testID", name: "testName"] } return output }
