There are many units which are inverse of standard units, e.g. wave period vs Hz, pace vs speed, Siemens vs Ohms, ...
Dimension can be subclassed to create the custom units.
How to extend Measurement.converted( to: )?
I was looking at somehow using UnitConverter and subclass to something like UnitConverterInverse.
Thoughts?
I want to use the Observations AsyncSequence on some SwiftData @Model instances to determine if internal calculations need to be done.
When a simple property is linked to the Observations it fires CONTINUOUSLY even though no change is made to the model property.
Also, when I try to observe a property which is a list of another @Model type the Observations sequence does not fire when I add or remove items.
I am hoping to use the async-algorithm's merge function so all the associated sequences can be combined since if any of the associated events should fire the calculation event.
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.

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

SE-0401 Remove Actor Isolation Inference caused by Property Wrappers
link: SE-0401, third-party commentary
availability: upcoming feature flag: DisableOutwardActorInference
SE-0410 Low-Level Atomic Operations ⚛︎

SE-0411 Isolated default value expressions
link: SE-0411, third-party commentary
SE-0412 Strict concurrency for global variables
link: SE-0412
introduces: nonisolated(unsafe)

SE-0418 Inferring Sendable for methods and key path literals
link: SE-0418, third-party 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, third-party 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, third-party 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, third-party 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, third-party 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, third-party 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, third-party commentary, third-party 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, third-party 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, third-party 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, third-party 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, third-party 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, third-party 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.

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
2026-01-07 Added another third-party commentary links.
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.
So I’m writing a program, as a developer would - ‘with Xcode.’
Code produced an error.
The key values were swapped. The parameters suggested were ‘optional parameters variables.’
“var name: TYPE? = (default)”
var name0: TYPE
=============================
name0 = “super cool”
‘Name is not yet declared at this point
provided with
x - incorrect argument replace
ExampleStruct(name:”supercool”)
should be
x - incorrect argument replace
ExampleStruct(name0:”supercool”)
=============================
In swift, there is a procedural prioritization within the constructor calling process.
Application calls constructor.
Constructor provides constructor signature. Signature requires parameters & throws an error if the params are not in appropriate order. - “got it compiler; thank you, very much”
Typically, when this occurs, defaults will be suggested. Often the variable type. Ie String, Bool.
such as:
StructName(param1:Int64, param2:Bool)
(Recently, I have seen a decline in @Apple’s performance in many vectors.)
As stated before, the key value pairs were out of sequence. The optionals were suggested instead of the required parameters.
This leads me to believe that there is an order of operations in the calling procedure that is being mismanaged.
I.e. regular expression, matching with optional. This confuses these with [forced, required] parameters, and the mismanagement of ‘key: value’ pairs.
this is a superficial prognosis and would like to know if anyone has any insight as to why this may occur.
Could it be a configuration setting? Is it possibly the network I connected to bumped into something. Etc..
I appreciate any and all feedback.
Please take into consideration the Apple developer forum, guidelines before posting comments.

Does anyone know if the resources .copy rule in a Swift .package file is supposed to recursively copy the full contents if it's pointed at a directory?
The docs say…
If you pass a directory path to the copy rule, the compiler retains the directory’s structure.
…but you can interpret that in a few different ways.
It also doesn’t appear to work if the directory you specify only contains directories.
In trying to convert some Objective-C to Swift, I have a subclass of NSWindowController and want to write a convenience initializer. The documentation says
You can also implement an NSWindowController subclass to avoid requiring client code to get the corresponding nib’s filename and pass it to init(windowNibName:) or init(windowNibName:owner:) when instantiating the window controller. The best way to do this is to override windowNibName to return the nib’s filename and instantiate the window controller by passing nil to init(window:).
My attempt to do that looks like this:
class EdgeTab: NSWindowController
{
override var windowNibName: NSNib.Name? { "EdgeTab" }
required init?(coder: NSCoder)
{
super.init(coder: coder)
}
convenience init()
{
self.init( window: nil )
}
}
But I'm getting an error message saying "Incorrect argument label in call (have 'window:', expected 'coder:')". Why the heck is the compiler trying to use init(coder:) instead of init(window:)?
In my code I use a binding that use 2 methods to get and get a value. There is no problem with swift 5 but when I swift to swift 6 the compiler fails :
Here a sample example of code to reproduce the problem :
`import SwiftUI
struct ContentView: View {
@State private var isOn = false
var body: some View {
VStack {
Image(systemName: "globe")
.imageScale(.large)
.foregroundStyle(.tint)
Text("Hello, world!")
Toggle("change it", isOn: Binding(get: getValue, set: setValue(_:)))
}
.padding()
}
private func getValue() -> Bool {
isOn
}
private func setValue(_ value: Bool) {
isOn = value
}
}`

Using Xcode 16.4 / Mac OS 16.4
I’m stuck with repeated production crashes in my SwiftUI app and I can’t make sense of the traces on my own.
The symbolicated reports show the same pattern:
Crash on com.apple.CFNetwork.LoaderQ with EXC_BAD_ACCESS / PAC failure
Always deep in CFNetwork, most often in
URLConnectionLoader::loadWithWhatToDo(NSURLRequest*, _CFCachedURLResponse const*, long, URLConnectionLoader::WhatToDo)
No frames from my code, no sign of AuthManager or tokens.
What I’ve tried:
Enabled Address Sanitizer,
Malloc Scribble,
Guard Malloc,
Zombies.
Set CFNETWORK_DIAGNOSTICS=3 and collected Console logs.
Stress-tested the app (rapid typing, filter switching, background/foreground, poor network with Network Link Conditioner).
Could not reproduce the crash locally.
So far:
Logs show unrelated performance faults (I/O on main thread, CLLocationManager delegate), but no obvious CFNetwork misuse.
My suspicion is a URLSession lifetime or delegate/auth-challenge race, but I can’t confirm because I can’t trigger it.
Since starting this investigation, I also refactored some of my singletons into @State/@ObservedObject dependencies. For example, my app root now wires up AuthManager, BackendService, and AccountManager (where API calls happen using async/await) as @State properties:
@State var authManager: AuthManager
@State var accountManager: AccountManager
@State var backendService: BackendService
init() {
let authManager = AuthManager()
self._authManager = .init(wrappedValue: authManager)
let backendService = BackendService(authManager: authManager)
self._backendService = .init(wrappedValue: backendService)
self._accountManager = .init(wrappedValue: AccountManager(backendService: backendService))
}
I don’t know if this refactor is related to the crash, but I am including it to be complete.
Apologies that I don’t have a minimized sample project — this issue seems app-wide, and all I have are the crash logs.
Request:
Given the crash location (URLConnectionLoader::loadWithWhatToDo), can Apple provide guidance on known scenarios or misuses that can lead to this crash?
Is there a way to get more actionable diagnostics from CFNetwork beyond CFNETWORK_DIAGNOSTICS to pinpoint whether it’s session lifetime, cached response corruption, or auth/redirect?
Can you also confirm whether my dependency setup above could contribute to URLSession or backend lifetime issues?
I can’t reliably reproduce the crash, and without Apple’s insight the stack trace is effectively opaque to me.
Thanks for your time and help. Happy to send multiple symbolicated crash logs at request.
Thanks for any help.
PS. Including 2 of many similar crash logs. Can provide more if needed.

After switching our iOS app project from Swift 5 to Swift 6 and publishing an update, we started seeing a large number of crashes in Firebase Crashlytics.
The crashes are triggered by NotificationCenter methods (post, addObserver, removeObserver) and show the following error:
BUG IN CLIENT OF LIBDISPATCH: Assertion failed: Block was expected to execute on queue [com.apple.main-thread (0x1f9dc1580)]
All scopes to related calls are already explicitly marked with @MainActor. This issue never occurred with Swift 5, but appeared immediately after moving to Swift 6.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is there a known solution or workaround?
Thanks in advance!
Title
Why doesn’t this async function see external changes to an inout Bool in Release builds (but works in Debug)?
Body
I have a small helper function that waits for a Bool flag to become true with a timeout:
public func test(binding value: inout Bool, timeout maximum: Int) async throws {
var count = 0
while value == false {
count += 1
try await Task.sleep(nanoseconds: 0_100_000_000)
if value == true {
return
}
if count > (maximum * 10) {
return
}
}
}
I call like this:
var isVPNConnected = false
adapter.start(tunnelConfiguration: tunnelConfiguration) { [weak self] adapterError in
guard let self = self else { return }
if let adapterError = adapterError {
} else {
isVPNConnected = true
}
completionHandler(adapterError)
}
try await waitUntilTrue(binding: &isVPNConnected, timeout: 10)
What I expect:
test should keep looping until flag becomes true (or the timeout is hit).
When the second task sets flag = true, the first task should see that change and return.
What actually happens:
In Debug builds this behaves as expected: when the second task sets flag = true, the loop inside test eventually exits.
In Release builds the function often never sees the change and gets stuck until the timeout (or forever, depending on the code). It looks like the while value == false condition is using some cached value and never observes the external write.
So my questions are:
Is the compiler allowed to assume that value (the inout Bool) does not change inside the loop, even though there are await suspension points and another task is mutating the same variable?
Is this behavior officially “undefined” because I’m sharing a plain Bool across tasks without any synchronization (actors / locks / atomics), so the debug build just happens to work?
What is the correct / idiomatic way in Swift concurrency to implement this kind of “wait until flag becomes true with timeout” pattern?
Should I avoid inout here completely and use some other primitive (e.g. AsyncStream, CheckedContinuation, Actor, ManagedAtomic, etc.)?
Is there any way to force the compiler to re-read the Bool from memory each iteration, or is that the wrong way to think about it?
Environment (if it matters):
Swift: [fill in your Swift version]
Xcode: [fill in your Xcode version]
Target: iOS / macOS [fill in as needed]
Optimization: default Debug vs. Release settings
I’d like to understand why Debug vs Release behaves differently here, and what the recommended design is for this kind of async waiting logic in Swift.
var testTwo: Double = 0
testDouble = 80
testTwo = 200
var testThree: Int = 0
testThree = Int(testTwo/testDouble)
var testDate: Date = .now
var dateComponent = DateComponents()
dateComponent.day = testThree
var newDate: Date = Calendar.current.date(byAdding: dateComponentwith a thread error , to: testDate)!
This code works in a playground. However, when I try to use it in Xcode for my app it fails with the following error:
Thread 1: Fatal error: Double value cannot be converted to Int because it is either infinite or NaN
I printed the value being converted to Int and it was not NAN or infinite.
"the compiler is unable to type-check this expression in reasonable time; try breaking up the expression into distinct sub-expressions" ...... it killing me !!!!
I can't find any simple c++ xcodeproj call to swift struct using modern c++ swift mix. there is the fibonacci example that is swift app call to c++.
Base on fibonacci example I create new simple project and fail to build it with error when I try to include #include <SwiftMixTester/SwiftMixTester-Swift.h>
What is wrong?
Is it the right place to ask this?
Any work project link?

Is there any way to retrieve the memory pressure percentage using native libraries?
When I run the memory-pressure command, I can see the percentage of free memory, but I’d like to retrieve the same information using a native library.

I have c++ macOs app(Xcode +14) and I try to add call to swift code.
I can't find any simple c++ xcodeproj call to swift code.
I create new simple project and fail to build it with error when I try to include #include <SwiftMixTester/SwiftMixTester-Swift.h>:
main.m:9:10: error: 'SwiftMixTester/SwiftMixTester-Swift.h' file not found (in target 'CppCallSwift' from project 'CppCallSwift')
note: Did not find header 'SwiftMixTester-Swift.h' in framework 'SwiftMixTester' (loaded from '/Users/yanivsmacm4/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/CppCallSwift-exdxjvwdcczqntbkksebulvfdolq/Build/Products/Debug') .
Please help.
Xcode downloaded a crash report for my app that crashed when trying to insert a String into a Set<String>. Apparently there was an assertion failure ELEMENT_TYPE_OF_SET_VIOLATES_HASHABLE_REQUIREMENTS. I assume that this assertion failure happened because the hash of the new element didn't match the hash of an equal already inserted element, but regardless, I don't understand how inserting a simple string could trigger this assertion.
Here is essentially the code that leads to the crash. path is any file system directory, and basePath is a directory higher in the hierarchy, or path itself.
var scanErrorPaths = Set<String>()
func main() {
let path = "/path/to/directory"
let basePath = "/path"
let fileDescriptor = open(path, O_RDONLY)
if fileDescriptor < 0 {
if (try? URL(fileURLWithPath: path, isDirectory: false).checkResourceIsReachable()) == true {
scanErrorPaths.insert(path.relativePath(from: basePath)!)
return
}
}
extension String {
func relativePath(from basePath: String) -> String? {
if basePath == "" {
return self
}
guard let index = range(of: basePath, options: .anchored)?.upperBound else {
return nil
}
return if index == endIndex || basePath == "/" {
String(self[index...])
} else if let index = self[index...].range(of: "/", options: .anchored)?.upperBound {
String(self[index...])
} else {
nil
}
}
}

When i am trying to archive a framework for ML, using below command:
xcodebuild -workspace "./src/MLProject.xcworkspace" -configuration "Release" -sdk "iphoneos" -archivePath "./gen/out/Archives/Release-iphoneos/MLProject" -scheme "MLProject" -derivedDataPath "./gen/out/" archive BUILD_LIBRARY_FOR_DISTRIBUTION=YES SKIP_INSTALL=NO
The same command used to work fine on Xcode 16.4.
Attached is the detailed error
