https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/768776 Swift concurrency is an important part of my day-to-day job. I created the following document for an internal presentation, and I figured that it might be helpful for others. If you have questions or comments, put them in a new thread here on DevForums. Use the App & System Services > Processes & Concurrency topic area and tag it with both Swift and Concurrency. Share and Enjoy — Quinn “The Eskimo!” @ Developer Technical Support @ Apple let myEmail = "eskimo" + "1" + "@" + "apple.com" Swift Concurrency Proposal Index This post summarises the Swift Evolution proposals that went into the Swift concurrency design. It covers the proposal that are implemented in Swift 6.2, plus a few additional ones that aren’t currently available. The focus is here is the Swift Evolution proposals. For general information about Swift concurrency, see the documentation referenced by Concurrency Resources. Swift 6.0 The following Swift Evolution proposals form the basis of the Swift 6.0 concurrency design. SE-0176 Enforce Exclusive Access to Memory link: SE-0176 notes: This defines the “Law of Exclusivity”, a critical foundation for both serial and concurrent code. SE-0282 Clarify the Swift memory consistency model ⚛︎ link: SE-0282 notes: This defines Swift’s memory model, that is, the rules about what is and isn’t allowed when it comes to concurrent memory access. SE-0296 Async/await link: SE-0296 introduces: async functions, async, await SE-0297 Concurrency Interoperability with Objective-C link: SE-0297 notes: Specifies how Swift imports an Objective-C method with a completion handler as an async method. Explicitly allows @objc actors. SE-0298 Async/Await: Sequences link: SE-0298 introduces: AsyncSequence, for await syntax notes: This just defines the AsyncSequence protocol. For one concrete implementation of that protocol, see SE-0314. SE-0300 Continuations for interfacing async tasks with synchronous code link: SE-0300 introduces: CheckedContinuation, UnsafeContinuation notes: Use these to create an async function that wraps a legacy request-reply concurrency construct.

For a simpler API to create a stream, see SE-0388. SE-0316 Global actors link: SE-0316 introduces: GlobalActor, MainActor notes: This includes the @MainActor syntax for closures. SE-0317 async let bindings link: SE-0317 introduces: async let syntax SE-0323 Asynchronous Main Semantics link: SE-0323 SE-0327 On Actors and Initialization link: SE-0327 notes: For a proposal to allow access to non-sendable isolated state in a deinitialiser, see SE-0371. SE-0329 Clock, Instant, and Duration link: SE-0329 introduces: Clock, InstantProtocol, DurationProtocol, Duration, ContinuousClock, SuspendingClock notes: For another way to sleep, see SE-0374. SE-0331 Remove Sendable conformance from unsafe pointer types link: SE-0331 SE-0337 Incremental migration to concurrency checking link: SE-0337 introduces: @preconcurrency, explicit unavailability of Sendable notes: This introduces @preconcurrency on declarations, on imports, and on Sendable protocols. For @preconcurrency conformances, see SE-0423. SE-0338 Clarify the Execution of Non-Actor-Isolated Async Functions link: SE-0338 note: This change has caught a bunch of folks by surprise and there’s a discussion underway as to whether to adjust it. SE-0340 Unavailable From Async Attribute link: SE-0340 introduces: noasync availability kind SE-0343 Concurrency in Top-level Code link: SE-0343 notes: For how strict concurrency applies to global variables, see SE-0412.

SE-0392 Custom Actor Executors link: SE-0392 introduces: Actor protocol, Executor, SerialExecutor, ExecutorJob, assumeIsolated(…) notes: For task executors, a closely related concept, see SE-0417. For custom isolation checking, see SE-0424. SE-0395 Observation link: SE-0395 introduces: Observation module, Observable notes: While this isn’t directly related to concurrency, it’s relationship to Combine, which is an important exising concurrency construct, means I’ve included it in this list. SE-0401 Remove Actor Isolation Inference caused by Property Wrappers link: SE-0401, commentary availability: upcoming feature flag: DisableOutwardActorInference SE-0410 Low-Level Atomic Operations ⚛︎ link: SE-0410 introduces: Synchronization module, Atomic, AtomicLazyReference, WordPair SE-0411 Isolated default value expressions link: SE-0411, commentary SE-0412 Strict concurrency for global variables link: SE-0412 introduces: nonisolated(unsafe) notes: While this is a proposal about globals, the introduction of nonisolated(unsafe) applies to “any form of storage”. SE-0414 Region based Isolation link: SE-0414, commentary notes: To send parameters and results across isolation regions, see SE-0430. SE-0417 Task Executor Preference link: SE-0417, commentary introduces: withTaskExecutorPreference(…), TaskExecutor, globalConcurrentExecutor notes: This is closely related to the custom actor executors defined in SE-0392. SE-0418 Inferring Sendable for methods and key path literals link: SE-0418, commentary availability: upcoming feature flag: InferSendableFromCaptures notes: The methods part of this is for “partial and unapplied methods”. SE-0420 Inheritance of actor isolation link: SE-0420, commentary introduces: #isolation, optional isolated parameters notes: This is what makes it possible to iterate over an async stream in an isolated async function. SE-0421 Generalize effect polymorphism for AsyncSequence and AsyncIteratorProtocol link: SE-0421, commentary notes: Previously AsyncSequence used an experimental mechanism to support throwing and non-throwing sequences. This moves it off that. Instead, it uses an extra Failure generic parameter and typed throws to achieve the same result. This allows it to finally support a primary associated type. Yay! SE-0423 Dynamic actor isolation enforcement from non-strict-concurrency contexts link: SE-0423, commentary introduces: @preconcurrency conformance notes: This adds a number of dynamic actor isolation checks (think assumeIsolated(…)) to close strict concurrency holes that arise when you interact with legacy code. SE-0424 Custom isolation checking for SerialExecutor link: SE-0424, commentary introduces: checkIsolation() notes: This extends the custom actor executors introduced in SE-0392 to support isolation checking. SE-0430 sending parameter and result values link: SE-0430, commentary introduces: sending notes: Adds the ability to send parameters and results between the isolation regions introduced by SE-0414. SE-0431 @isolated(any) Function Types link: SE-0431, commentary, commentary introduces: @isolated(any) attribute on function types, isolation property of functions values notes: This is laying the groundwork for SE-NNNN Closure isolation control. That, in turn, aims to bring the currently experimental @_inheritActorContext attribute into the language officially. SE-0433 Synchronous Mutual Exclusion Lock 🔒 link: SE-0433 introduces: Mutex SE-0434 Usability of global-actor-isolated types link: SE-0434, commentary availability: upcoming feature flag: GlobalActorIsolatedTypesUsability notes: This loosen strict concurrency checking in a number of subtle ways. Swift 6.1 Swift 6.1 has the following additions. Vision: Improving the approachability of data-race safety link: vision SE-0442 Allow TaskGroup’s ChildTaskResult Type To Be Inferred link: SE-0442, commentary notes: This represents a small quality of life improvement for withTaskGroup(…) and withThrowingTaskGroup(…). SE-0449 Allow nonisolated to prevent global actor inference link: SE-0449, commentary notes: This is a straightforward extension to the number of places you can apply nonisolated. Swift 6.2 Xcode 26 beta has two new build settings: Approachable Concurrency enables the following feature flags: DisableOutwardActorInference, GlobalActorIsolatedTypesUsability, InferIsolatedConformances, InferSendableFromCaptures, and NonisolatedNonsendingByDefault. Default Actor Isolation controls SE-0466 Swift 6.2, still in beta, has the following additions. SE-0371 Isolated synchronous deinit link: SE-0371, commentary introduces: isolated deinit notes: Allows a deinitialiser to access non-sendable isolated state, lifting a restriction imposed by SE-0327. SE-0457 Expose attosecond representation of Duration link: SE-0457 introduces: attoseconds, init(attoseconds:) SE-0461 Run nonisolated async functions on the caller’s actor by default link: SE-0461 availability: upcoming feature flag: NonisolatedNonsendingByDefault introduces: nonisolated(nonsending), @concurrent notes: This represents a significant change to how Swift handles actor isolation by default, and introduces syntax to override that default. SE-0462 Task Priority Escalation APIs link: SE-0462 introduces: withTaskPriorityEscalationHandler(…) notes: Code that uses structured concurrency benefits from priority boosts automatically. This proposal exposes APIs so that code using unstructured concurrency can do the same. SE-0463 Import Objective-C completion handler parameters as @Sendable link: SE-0463 notes: This is a welcome resolution to a source of much confusion. SE-0466 Control default actor isolation inference link: SE-0466, commentary availability: not officially approved, but a de facto part of Swift 6.2 introduces: -default-isolation compiler flag notes: This is a major component of the above-mentioned vision document. SE-0468 Hashable conformance for Async(Throwing)Stream.Continuation link: SE-0468 notes: This is an obvious benefit when you’re juggling a bunch of different async streams. SE-0469 Task Naming link: SE-0469 introduces: name, init(name:…) SE-0470 Global-actor isolated conformances link: SE-0470 availability: upcoming feature flag: InferIsolatedConformances introduces: @SomeActor protocol conformance notes: This is particularly useful when you want to conform an @MainActor type to Equatable, Hashable, and so on. SE-0471 Improved Custom SerialExecutor isolation checking for Concurrency Runtime link: SE-0471 notes: This is a welcome extension to SE-0424. SE-0472 Starting tasks synchronously from caller context link: SE-0472 introduces: immediate[Detached](…), addImmediateTask[UnlessCancelled](…), notes: This introduces the concept of an immediate task, one that initially uses the calling execution context. This is one of those things where, when you need it, you really need it. But it’s hard to summary when you might need it, so you’ll just have to read the proposal (-: In Progress The proposals in this section didn’t make Swift 6.2. SE-0406 Backpressure support for AsyncStream link: SE-0406 availability: returned for revision notes: Currently AsyncStream has very limited buffering options. This was a proposal to improve that. This feature is still very much needed, but the outlook for this proposal is hazy. My best guess is that something like this will land first in the Swift Async Algorithms package. See this thread. SE-NNNN Closure isolation control link: SE-NNNN introduces: @inheritsIsolation availability: not yet approved notes: This aims to bring the currently experimental @_inheritActorContext attribute into the language officially. It’s not clear how this will play out given the changes in SE-0461. Revision History 2025-09-02 Updated for the upcoming release Swift 6.2. 2025-04-07 Updated for the release of Swift 6.1, including a number of things that are still in progress. 2024-11-09 First post.

import Foundation import FirebaseAuth import GoogleSignIn import FBSDKLoginKit class AuthController { // Assuming these variables exist in your class var showCustomAlertLoading = false var signUpResultText = "" var isSignUpSucces = false var navigateHome = false // Google Sign-In func googleSign() { guard let presentingVC = (UIApplication.shared.connectedScenes.first as?

"Error occurred" DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 2) { self.showCustomAlertLoading = false } return } self.signUpResultText = "\(user.email ?? "No email")\nSigned in successfully" self.isSignUpSucces = true DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 3) { self.showCustomAlertLoading = false DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 1) { self.navigateHome = true } } print("\(user.email ??

I make some small program to make dots. Many of them. I have a Generator which generates dots in a loop: //reprat until all dots in frame while !newDots.isEmpty { virginDots = [] for newDot in newDots { autoreleasepool{ virginDots.append( contentsOf: newDot.addDots(in: size, allDots: &result, inSomeWay)) } newDots = virginDots } counter += 1 print ("\(result.count) dots in \(counter) grnerations") } Sometimes this loop needs hours/days to finish (depend of inSomeWay settings), so it would be very nice to send partial result to a View, and/or if result is not satisfying — break this loop and start over. My understanding of Tasks and Concurrency became worse each time I try to understand it, maybe it's my age, maybe language barier. For now, Button with {Task {...}} action doesn't removed Rainbow Wheel from my screen. Killing an app is wrong because killing is wrong. How to deal with it?

In below Swift code , is there any possiblities of failure of Unmanaged.passRetain and Unmanaged.takeRetain calls ? // can below call fail (constructor returns nil due to OS or language error) and do i need to do explicit error handling here? let str = TWSwiftString(pnew) // Increasing RC by 1 // can below call fail (assuming str is valid) and do i need to do explicit error handling for the same ? let ptr:UnsafeMutableRawPointer? = Unmanaged.passRetained(str).toOpaque() // decrease RC by 1 // can below call fail (assuming ptr is valid) ? and do i need to do explicit error handling Unmanaged<TWSwiftString>.fromOpaque(pStringptr).release()

I'm using this library for encoding / decoding RSA keys. https://github.com/Kitura/BlueRSA It's worked fine up until macOS sequoia. The issue I'm having is the tests pass when in Debug mode, but the moment I switch to Release mode, the library no longer works. I ruled this down the swift optimization level. If I change the Release mode to no optimization, the library works again. Wondering where in the code this could be an issue? How would optimization break the functionality?

Hi all, Background: I am working as a library developer and would like to enable Swift C++ interoperability in our library. Our library supports both CocoaPods and SPM. Question: I would like to know whether it is possible to avoid breaking changes bring to the library users after enabling Swift C++ interoperability. In my experiment, all apps and packages depend on the library needs to enable interoperability in Xcode or package manage tools, otherwise the source code cannot be complied. I am wondering is there any ways to bypass this? For example, is there a way to only enable Swift C++ interoperability only in our libraries?

macOS: Sequoia Xcode: 16.1 I am working on a macOS app and it has a widget feature. When I use Swift 6 (Build Settings > Swift Language Version) in IntentExtension, the intent configuration won't show up in macOS Sequoia. If I downgrade to Swift 5, it works without any other changes. Is it a bug or am I missing something? How can I use Swift 6 with IntentExtension.

I'll describe my crash with an example, looking for some insights into the reason why this is happening. @objc public protocol LauncherContainer { var launcher: Launcher { get } } @objc public protocol Launcher: UIViewControllerTransitioningDelegate { func initiateLaunch(url: URL, launchingHotInstance: Bool) } @objc final class LauncherContainer: NSObject, LauncherContainer, TabsContentCellTapHandler { ... init( ... ) { ... super.init() } ... // // ContentCellTapHandler // public func tabContentCellItemDidTap( tabId: String ) { ... launcher.initiateNewTabNavigation( tabId: tabId // Crash happens here ) } public class Launcher: NSObject, Launcher, FooterPillTapHandler { public func initiateNewTabNavigation(tabId: String) { ... } } public protocol TabsContentCellTapHandler: NSObject { func tabContentCellItemDidTap( tabId: String, }

Does that mean tabId passed to tabContentCellItemDidTap is a String but the one passed to initiateNewTabNavigation is NSString? TabId is UUID().uuidString if that helps. Wondering if UUID().uuidString has something to do with this. Thanks a ton for helping. Please find attached screenshot of the stack trace.

In my project, i have a Swift class with a class level property of type string. Like this : class TWSwiftString { var pString:String! init(_ pString: String) { self.pString = pString } } I am creating intance of this class and then creating a opaque pointer to this intance. Like this : let str = TWSwiftString("World") // Increasing RC by 1 strptr = Unmanaged.passRetained(str).toOpaque() Now using this opaque pointer i want to modify the value of pString by directly operating on memory. Like this: withUnsafeMutablePointer(to: &strptr.pString) { strPointer in strPointer.pointee = "World" } Although i am able to modify pString like this and print. Lets assume i have a approach to make sure memory remains valid when it is operated on and freeing of memory is also handled somehow . Will this approach work if i have 100s of intance of this string which are being operated in this manner ? What if the size of new value is greater than existing string value ? For this i am thinking of chunk of memory initially and then keep on increasing size of it as bigger string then this chunk comes. Does this approach seems feasible ? Any other problems i can encounter by using this approach ? Chatgpt gave this answer : To directly update the memory of a Swift class’s property, particularly to alter a String property, is generally discouraged due to Swift's memory safety model. However, if we want to access and modify a class property directly, the best practice is to use a property accessor, as manually altering memory could lead to undefined behavior or even crashes. Why Direct Memory Manipulation Is Risky When you attempt to manipulate memory directly, especially with Swift’s memory model, you might alter not only the value but also the memory layout of Swift’s String type, which could break things internally. The Swift compiler may store String differently based on the internal structure, so even if we manage to locate the correct memory address, directly modifying it is unreliable. do you have any opinion around chatgpt resoponse ?

I am using swiftui lately in my iOS mobile app, The Mobile app already has a pipeline that detect any experimental features and throw an error I am using swift 5 and as you all know SwiftUI is using some of OpaqueTypeErasure utility types like "some" I heard that in swift 6 the OpaqueTypeErasure is not experimental anymore But upgrading the app swift version will be a very long process Also changing the pipeline will be a very long and tiring process So i want to know if there is a way to remove OpaqueTypeErasure from SwiftUI and what is the alternatives for bypassing the error that being thrown from the pipeline

I used struct in the swift file, but once I use xcode build. It will automatically change to enum, causing build failure. But it turns out that this file can be used to build. Since upgrading to XCode16.1, it's not working anymore. I don't know where to set it up. Do not optimize or modify my code. Error message: 'Padding' cannot be constructed because it has no accessible initializers My environment is: macos sequoia 15.1 xcode 16.1(16B40) File source code： let π: CGFloat = .pi let customUserAgent: String = "litewallet-ios" let swiftUICellPadding = 12.0 let bigButtonCornerRadius = 15.0 enum FoundationSupport { static let dashboard = "https://support.litewallet.io/" } enum APIServer { static let baseUrl = "https://api-prod.lite-wallet.org/" } enum Padding { subscript(multiplier: Int) -> CGFloat { return CGFloat(multiplier) * 8.0 } subscript(multiplier: Double) -> CGFloat { return CGFloat(multiplier) * 8.0 } } enum C { static let padding = Padding() enum Sizes { static let buttonHeight: CGFloat = 48.0 static let sendButtonHeight: CGFloat = 165.0 static let headerHeight: CGFloat = 48.0 static let largeHeaderHeight: CGFloat = 220.0 } static var defaultTintColor: UIColor = UIView().tintColor Enum was originally SRTUCT. But the build has been automatically optimized

I would like to see examples of how to do this. Apple states that explicit clang modules don't work with C++ interop. ObjC++ has simple interop with C++. Swift does not. And so I'd like to know how to setup my C++ projects to build them as clang modules.

I have an app whose logic is in C++ and rest of the parts (UI) are in Swift and SwiftUI. Exceptions can occur in C++ and Swift. I've got the C++ part covered by using the Linux's signal handler mechanism to trap signals which get raised due to exceptions. But how should I capture exceptions in Swift? When I say exceptions in Swift, I mean, divide by zero, force unwrapping of an optional containing nil, out of index access in an array, etc. Basically, anything that can go wrong, I don't want my app to abruptly crash... I need a chance to finalise my stuff, alert the user, prepare diagnostic reports and terminate. I'm looking for a 'catch-all' exception handler. As an example, let's take Android. In Android, there is the setDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler method to register for all kinds of exceptions in any thread in Kotlin. I'm looking for something similar in Swift that should work for macOS, iOS &amp; iPadOS, tvOS and watchOS. I first came across the NSSetUncaughtExceptionHandler method. My understanding is, this only works when I explicitly raise NSExceptions. When I tested it, observed that the exception handler didn't get invoked for either case - divide by zero or invoking raise. class AppDelegate: NSObject, NSApplicationDelegate { func applicationDidFinishLaunching(_ aNotification: Notification) { Log("AppDelegate.applicationDidFinishLaunching(_:)") // Set the 'catch-all' exception handler for Swift exceptions. Log("Registering exception handler using NSSetUncaughtExceptionHandler()...") NSSetUncaughtExceptionHandler { (exception: NSException) in Log("AppDelegate.NSUncaughtExceptionHandler()") Log("Exception: \(exception)") } Log("Registering exception handler using NSSetUncaughtExceptionHandler() succeeded!") // For C++, use the Linux's signal mechanism. ExceptionHandlingCpp.RegisterSignals() //ExceptionHandlingCpp.TestExceptionHandler() AppDelegate.TestExceptionHandlerSwift() } static func TestExceptionHandlerSwift() { Log("AppDelegate.TestExceptionHandlerSwift()") DivisionByZero(0) } private static func DivisionByZero(_ divisor: Int) { Log("AppDelegate.DivisionByZero()") let num1: Int = 2 Log("Raising Exception...") //let result: Int = num1/divisor let exception: NSException = NSException(name: NSExceptionName(rawValue: "arbitrary"), reason: "arbitrary reason", userInfo: nil) exception.raise() Log("Returning from DivisionByZero()") } } In the above code, dividing by zero, nor raising a NSException invokes the closure passed to NSSetUncaughtExceptionHandler, evident from the following output logs AppDelegate.applicationWillFinishLaunching(_:) AppDelegate.applicationDidFinishLaunching(_:) Registering exception handler using NSSetUncaughtExceptionHandler()... Registering exception handler using NSSetUncaughtExceptionHandler() succeeded! ExceptionHandlingCpp::RegisterSignals() .... AppDelegate.TestExceptionHandlerSwift() AppDelegate.DivisionByZero() Raising Exception... Currently, I'm reading about ExceptionHandling framework, but this is valid only for macOS. What is the recommended way to capture runtime issues in Swift?

This is similar to this post https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/700770 on using objc_copyClassList to obtain the available classes. When iterating the list, I try casting the result to an instance of a protocol and that works fine: protocol DynamicCounter { init(controlledByPlayer: Bool, game: Game) } class BaseCounter: NSObject, DynamicCounter { } static func withAllClasses<R>( _ body: (UnsafeBufferPointer<AnyClass>) throws -> R ) rethrows -> R { var count: UInt32 = 0 let classListPtr = objc_copyClassList(&count) defer { free(UnsafeMutableRawPointer(classListPtr)) } let classListBuffer = UnsafeBufferPointer( start: classListPtr, count: Int(count) ) return try body(classListBuffer) } static func initialize() { let monoClasses = withAllClasses { $0.compactMap { $0 as? DynamicCounter.Type } } for cl in monoClasses { cl.initialize() } } The above code works fine if I use DynamicCounter.Type on the cast but crashes if try casting to BaseCounter.Type instead. Is there a way to avoid the weird and non Swift classes?

I have a problem with the following code, I am not being notified of changes to the progress property of my Job object, which is @Observable... This is a command-line Mac application (the same code works fine in a SwiftUI application). I must have missed something? do { let job = AsyncJob() withObservationTracking { let progress = job.progress } onChange: { print("Current progress: \(job.progress)") } let _ = try await job.run() print("Done...") } catch { print(error) } I Try this without any success: @main struct MyApp { static func main() async throws { // my code here } }

Hi! I'm trying to implement Swift 6 in my code but can't fix one problem.

Help please

Hi, Considering this method I'd like to test: public func play(_ soundFileName: String, shouldLoop: Bool) { Task { await dataSource.play(soundFileName, shouldLoop: shouldLoop) } } Previously, with XCTest we could use an expectation and wait for it to be fulfilled: func test() sut.play("", shouldLoop: false) wait(for: [mockedAudioPlayerDataSource.invokedPlayExpectation]) XCTAssertEqual(mockedAudioPlayerDataSource.invokedPlayCount, 1) With Swift Testing, I am unsure what a unit test looks like.

i have macos 15 and xcode 16 swift 6 and want to make apps to run on macintosh. i know the syntax of this programming language, but i need informations like which libraries i have to import for func's which name i do not know, and parameters i have not found on websites or the tutorial on swift. i need procedures like open window at x,y,width,height draw rectangle at x,y,width,height,color draw text at x,y,width,height,color,size read keyboard-letter,up/dn,shift read mouse x,y,buttons
