What is the most obvious method of calling StoreKit from C++. I'm getting blocked by the fact that most of the critical StoreKit calls are async and functions marked a sync don't show up in the swift header for me to call from C++ (at least as far as I can tell). I'm trying to call let result = try await Product.products(for:productIDs) or let result = try await product.purchase() And C++ can't even see any functions I wrap these in as far as I can tell because i have to make them async. What am I missing? I tried a lot of alternates, like wrapping in Task { let result = try await Product.products(for:productIDs) } and it gives me 'Passing closure as a sending parameter' errors. Also when I try to call the same above code it gives me 'initializtion of immutable value never used' errors and the variables never appear. Code: struct storeChooser { public var productIDs: [String] public function checkProduct1 { Task { let result = try await Product.products(for: productIDs) } The above gives the initialization of immutable value skipped, and when I create a @State var products Then I get the 'passing closure as a sending parameter' error when i try to run it in a task it appears if I could make the function async and call it from C++ and have it return nothing it may work, does anyone know how to get C++ to see an async function in the -Swift.h file?

I am currently encountering two deprecated errors in my code. Could someone please identify the issues with the code? Errors: 'init(coordinateRegion:interactionModes:showsUserLocation:userTrackingMode:annotationItems:annotationContent:)' was deprecated in iOS 17.0: Use Map initializers that take a MapContentBuilder instead. 'MapAnnotation' was deprecated in iOS 17.0: Use Annotation along with Map initializers that take a MapContentBuilder instead.

Hi all, In Swift, I often see static helper functions grouped in an enum without any cases, like this: enum StringUtils { static func camelCaseToSnakeCase(_ input: String) -> String { // implementation } } Since this enum has no cases, it cannot be instantiated – which is exactly the point. It’s meant to group related functionality without any stored state, and without the need for instantiation. This pattern avoids writing a struct with a private init() and makes the intent clearer: "This is just a static utility, not an object." You’ll often see this used for things like: AnalyticsEvents.track(_:) My question: Is this use of a case-less enum considered good practice in Swift when building static-only helpers? Or is there a better alternative for expressing intent and preventing instantiation? I’d appreciate any insight – especially if there’s official guidance or references from the Swift core team. Thanks!

I noticed that when I enter the fully immersive view and then click the X button below the window, the immersive space remains active, and the only way to dismiss it is to click the digital crown. On other apps (Disney+ for example), closing out of the main window while in immersive mode also closes out the immersive space. I tried applying an onDisappear modifier to the the Modules view with a dismissImmersiveSpace, but that doesn't appear to do anything. Any help would be appreciated.

I've created a Julia interface for Apple Accelerate's libSparse, via calling the library functions as if they were C (@ccall). I'm interested in using this in the context of power systems, where the sparse matrix is the Jacobian or the ABA matrix from a sparse grid network. However, I'm puzzled by the performance. I ran a sampling profiler on repeated in-place solves of Ax = b for a large sparse matrix A and random dense vectors b. (A is size 30k, positive definite so Cholesky factorization.) The 2 functions with the largest impact are _SparseConvertFromCoordinate_Double from libSparse.dylib, and BLASStateRelease from libBLAS.dylib. That strikes me as bizarre. This is an in-place solve: there should be minimal overheard from allocating/deallocating memory. Also, it seems strange that the library would repeatedly convert from coordinate form. Is this expected behavior? Thinking it might be an artifact of the Julia-C interface, I wrote up a similar program in C/Objective-C. I didn't profile it, but timing the same operation (repeated in-place solves of Ax = b for random vectors b, with the same matrix A as in the Julia) gave the same duration. I've attached the C/Objective-C below.profiling-comparison.m.txt If you're familiar with Julia, the following will give you the matrix I was working with: using PowerSystems, PowerNetworkMatrices sys = System("pglib_opf_case30000_goc.m") A = PowerNetworkMatrices.ABA_Matrix(sys).data where you can find the .m file here. (As a crude way to transfer A from Julia to C, I wrote the 3 arrays A.nzval, A.colptr, and A.rowval to .txt files as space-separated lists of numbers: the above C/objective-C reads in those files.) To duplicate my Julia profiling, do pkg> add AppleAccelerate#libSparse Profile--note the #libSparse part, these features aren't on the main branch--then run using AppleAccelerate, Profile # run previous code snippet to define A M, N = 10000, size(A)[1] bs = [rand(N) for _ in 1:M] aa_fact = AAFactorization(A) factor!(aa_fact) solve!(aa_fact, bs[1]) # pre-compile before we profile. Profile.init(n = 10^6, delay = 0.0003) @profile (for i in 1:M; solve!(aa_fact, bs[i]); end;) Profile.print(C = true, format = :flat, sortedby = :count)

We have FrameworkA which needs to use another FrameworkB internally to fetch a token. Now when I try to use this FrameworkA, we are seeing an issue with internal framework i.e. No such module 'FrameworkB'. But when I use @_implementationOnly import for the internal FrameworkB, I didn't see any issues. So just wanted to check If I can go ahead and use this @_implementationOnly import flag in Production?

Hi I'm new here - I'm trying to learn Swift and SwiftUI. Tried on PluralSight and Udemy but they have been outdated and thus hard to follow. So after finding Apples own guides I felt relieved and happy, but now I'm stuck again. After they've updated Xcode to use #Preview instead of PreviewProvider it's hard to follow along on their tutorial. Does anyone know of good resources to study SwiftUI? Or know if apple plan to update their tutorials any time soon? I'm here now if anyone's interested or it's useful information: https://developer.apple.com/tutorials/app-dev-training/managing-state-and-life-cycle

I’m creating an app using SwiftUI, and I would like to incorporate a small Java codebase that I created for the Android version of the app. Is there a way to package the Java code to work on iOS and macOS

I have a s hared library in C++ that was built with GNU Libtool, and I want to bundle it with my Swift app and call it from the app. How can I bundle it and call it?

With Swift being brought to new places, is anyone working on interoperability with PHP? I'd love to replace much of my PHP and Javascript web code with Swift (and ideally SwiftUI for UI design). Are there any projects/people working in this space?

Greetings! I am actively working on porting x64 code to Apple Silicon now that the time is nigh and part of the fundamentals of our software is a coroutine library for handling cooperative multitasking of GUI operations on the main thread. I was hoping to get the locations of the stack pointer and frame pointer in jmp_buf so, after setjmp() can redirect them to the primary handling routines in our coroutine library that handles the cooperative scheduling (which replaced and ported the old classic MP routines) which worked for PowerPC, i386 and x64. Any thoughts on where in the jmp_buf these might be located? I didn't see anything in the XNU open source. Any advice would be much obliged instead of having to dive in and re-implement these routines in assembly myself!

We developing Native App with C++17 for iOS. We override global new and delete operators. This App deallocate all allocated memories correctly by Run on Xcode (Command + R), but exception occurs launch from xcrun or App icon on iPhone. I debugged the exception. Overriding new operation was called correctly, but overriding delete operation was not called. The default delete was called. I'm not sure why is that. STEPS TO REPRODUCE Build xcode project.

I've been searching all over the web trying to find the proper way to get all records created by a specific user in CloudKit. I am able to get the correct id using: guard let userRecordID = try? await container.userRecordID() else { return } I can see that the id returned is associated with records in my CloudKit dashboard. So I would expect that the following would get those records: let predicate = NSPredicate(format: "%K == %@", #keyPath(CKRecord.creatorUserRecordID), userRecordID) let query = CKQuery(recordType: "CKUser", predicate: predicate) But instead when I use that query it returns nothing. It is successful but with nothing returned... Any ideas why this would be happening? P.S. I have also tried constructing the predicate using the reference, but I get the same result - success with no results. P.S.2 Also worth mentioning that I am trying to get the results from the public database and I have set my CKContainer to the correct container id.

Hello Apple Team, I'm trying to import the Audodesk FBX SDK to my Objective-C iOS Project. The SDK is written in C++, but has support for iOS and the iOS simulator architectures. I've added the path to the include folder in the Header Search Path I've also added the paths to libfbxsdk.a in the Library Search Paths Finally, I've added the libfbxsdk.a file to the Link Binary with Libraries. However, when I build the project, I get the following error: building for 'iOS', but linking in object file (/Users/Lond/Documents/v2/Autodesk/iOS/2020.3.7/lib/ios/debug/libfbxsdk.a[28](fbxalloc.cxx.o)) built for 'macOS' In the terminal, if I type the command: 
lipo -info libfbxsdk.a I get the message Non-fat file: libfbxsdk.a is architecture: arm64 confirming that I'm using the library for the correct architecture.   Do I need to add any other confifuration option? (Like the other linker flag or something else) I'm quite new to C++, and integrating a C++ SDK into iOS is not easy.   I'm using Mac Os Sonoma 14.6.1 Tested on Xcode 15.4 and 16.2 Target Device: iPhone 13 Pro (iOS 17.6.1) iOS FBX SDK version: 2020.3.7 Link to the SDK if needed: https://aps.autodesk.com/developer/overview/fbx-sdk   Any help would be greatly appreciated Thank you

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 :-)

I use AppIntent to trigger a widget refresh, Appint is used on Button or Toggle,as follows var isAudibleArming = false struct SoundAlarmIntent: AppIntent { static var title: LocalizedStringResource = "SoundAlarmIntent" func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult { isAudibleArming = true return .result() } } func timeline( for configuration: DynamicIntentWidgetPersonIntent, in context: Context ) async -> Timeline { var entries: [Entry] = [] let currentDate = Date() let entry = Entry(person: person(for: configuration)) entries.append(entry) if isAudibleArming { let entry2 = Entry(person: Person(name: "Friend4", dateOfBirth: currentDate.adding(.second, value: 6))) entries.append(entry2) } return .init(entries: entries, policy: .never) } The timeline function fires, with entry corresponding to view1 and entry2 corresponding to view2. I expect to show view1 immediately and view2 6 seconds later. You get the correct response on iOS17. But the 6 second delay function on the discovery code in iOS18.2 takes effect immediately, view1 flashes, view2 appears immediately instead of waiting 6 seconds to appear.

In scope of one of our project we've faced an issue with constant crashes when integrating C++ library in Swift code using Swift/C++ interoperability. Investigating the root causes of the issue we've discovered that with new version of Swift bug was introduced. Long story short: for strings bigger than 27 symbols memory is feed incorrectly that causes the crashes. By creating this post I wanted to draw community's attention to the problem and promote it to be solved quicker as for now it is not addressed.

I have a class that I want to custom encode into JSON: class Declination: Decodable, Encodable { var asString: String var asDouble: Double init(_ asString: String) { self.asString = asString self.asDouble = raToDouble(asString) } required init(from decoder: Decoder) throws { let value = try decoder.singleValueContainer() self.asString = try value.decode(String.self) self.asDouble = declinationToDouble(asString) } } As you can see, I calculate the double form of the declination when I decode a JSON file containing the data. What I want to do now is ENCODE the class back out as a single string. Currently the standard JSON encode in Swift produces the following: "declination":{"asDouble":18.26388888888889,"asString":"+18:15:50.00"} what I want to produce is: declination:"+18:15:50.00" How can I easily do that? I've read up about custom encoders and such, and I get confused about the containers and what keys are being used. I think there might be a simple answer where I could just code: extension Coordinate: Encodable { func encode(to encoder: Encoder) throws { return encoder.encode(self.asString) } } But experienced Swift developers will immediately see that won't work. Should I do JSONSerialization instead? Can I just write a toString() extension and have JSON pick that up? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Robert

AsyncStream { continuation in Task { let response = await getResponse() continuation.yield(response) continuation.finish() } } In this WWDC video https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2025/231/ at 8:20 the presenter mentions that if the "Task gets cancelled, the Task inside the function will automatically get cancelled too". The documentation does not mention anything like this. From my own testing on iOS 18.5, this is not true.

I have a simple shell script as follows: #!/bin/bash OUTPUT="network.$(date +'%d-%m-%y').info.txt" SUPPORT_ID="emailaddress" echo "---------------------------------------------------" > $OUTPUT echo "Run date and time: $(date)" >> $OUTPUT echo "---------------------------------------------------" >> $OUTPUT ifconfig >> $OUTPUT echo "---------------------------------------------------" >> $OUTPUT echo "Network info written to file: $OUTPUT." echo "Please email this file to: $SUPPORT_ID." It just dumps the network config into a file. At some point I will have the file emailed out, but right now I'm just trying to figure out why the output looks like the following? bash ./test.sh .etwork info written to file: network.26-01-25.info.txt .lease email this file to: emailaddress Why in the world does the initial character of the last couple of "echo" commands get clipped and turned into periods? The echos for the output of the commands piped into the output file are fine. Strange... Any ideas?
