I'm struggling to convert Swift 5 to Swift 6.
As advised in doc, I first turned strict concurrency ON. I got no error.
Then, selected swift6… and problems pop up.
I have a UIViewController with
IBOutlets: eg a TextField.
computed var eg duree
func using UNNotification: func userNotificationCenter
I get the following error in the declaration line of the func userNotificationCenter:
Main actor-isolated instance method 'userNotificationCenter(_:didReceive:withCompletionHandler:)' cannot be used to satisfy nonisolated requirement from protocol 'UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate'
So, I declared the func as non isolated.
This func calls another func func2, which I had also to declare non isolated.
Then I get error on the computed var used in func2
Main actor-isolated property 'duree' can not be referenced from a nonisolated context
So I declared duree as nonsilated(unsafe).
Now comes the tricky part.
The computed var references the IBOutlet dureeField
if dureeField.text == "X"
leading to the error
Main actor-isolated property 'dureeField' can not be referenced from a nonisolated context
So I finally declared the class as mainActor and the textField as nonisolated
@IBOutlet nonisolated(unsafe) weak var dureeField : UITextField!
That silences the error (but declaring unsafe means I get no extra robustness with swift6) just to create a new one when calling dureeField.text:
Main actor-isolated property 'text' can not be referenced from a nonisolated context
Question: how to address properties inside IBOutlets ? I do not see how to declare them non isolated and having to do it on each property of each IBOutlet would be impracticable.
The following did work, but will make code very verbose:
if MainActor.assumeIsolated({dureeField.text == "X"}) {
So I must be missing something.
Selecting any option will automatically load the page

I'm using Network Framework to transfer files between 2 devices. The "secondary" device sends file requests to the "primary" device, and the primary sends the files back.
When the primary gets the request, it responds like this:
do {
let data = try Data(contentsOf: filePath)
let priSecDataFilePacket = PriSecDataFilePacket(fileName: filename, dataBlob: data)
let jsonData = try JSONEncoder().encode(priSecDataFilePacket)
let message = NWProtocolFramer.Message(priSecMessageType: PriSecMessageType.priToSecDataFile)
let context = NWConnection.ContentContext(identifier: "TransferUtility", metadata: [message])
connection.send(content: encodedJsonToSend, contentContext: context, isComplete: true, completion: .idempotent)
} catch {
print("\(error)")
}
It works great, even for hundreds of file requests. The problem arises if some files being requested are extremely large, like 600MB. You can see the memory speedometer on the primary quickly ramp up to the yellow zone, at which point iOS kills the app for high memory use, and you see the Jetsam log.
I changed the code to skip JSON encoding the binary file as a test, and that helped a bit, but it still goes too high; the real offender is the step where it loads the 600MB file into the data var:
let data = try Data(contentsOf: filePath)
If I remark out everything else and just leave that one line, I can still see the memory use spike.
As a fix, I'm rewriting this so the secondary requests the file in 5MB chunks by telling the primary a byte range such as "0-5242880" or "5242881-10485760", and then reassembling the chunks on the secondary once they all come in. So far this seems promising, but it's a fair amount of work.
My question: Does Network Framework have a built-in way to stream those bytes straight from disk as it sends them? So that I could send all the data in one single request without having to load the bytes into memory?
I'm continuing with the migration towards Swift 6. Within one of our libraries, I want to check whether a parameter object: Any? confirms to Sendable.
I tried the most obvious one:
if let sendable = object as? Sendable {
}
But that results into the compiler error "Marker protocol 'Sendable' cannot be used in a conditional cast".
Is there an other way to do this?

2023-07-04 16:51:00.655233-0500 Recipes[27836:1297298] Scene destruction request failed with error: (null)
I don't quite understand what all all this means. (The "bleep" was a debugging print code I put in the unwind segue). I'm working through Apple's Mac Catalyst tutorial but it seems to be riddled with bugs and coding issues, even in the final part of the completed app which I dowmloaded and ran. I don't see these problems on IPad simulator.
I don't know if it's because Catalyst has problems itself or there's something else going on that I can fix myself. Any insight into these errors would be very much appreciated!
PS: The app seems to run ok on Mac without crashing despite the muliple issues
I have a macro that converts expression into a string literal, e.g.:
#toString(variable) -> "variable"
#toString(TypeName) -> "TypeName"
#toString(\TypeName.property) -> "property"
In Xcode 16.3 #toString(TypeName) stopped to work, compilation throws 'Expected member name or initializer call after type name' error.
Everything works fine in Xcode 16.2. I tried to compare build settings between 16.2 and 16.3 but haven't noticed differences that may cause this new error.
The following works in both Xcode versions:
#toString(variable) -> "variable"
#toString(\TypeName.property) -> "property"
Seems like Xcode tries to compile code that shouldn't be compiled because of macro expansion.
Does anybody know what new has appeared in 16.3 and, perhaps, how to fix the problem?

Hello,
I am developing a private internal Flutter app for our customer, which will not be published on the Apple Store. One of the key features of this app is to collect RF strength metrics to share user experience with the network.
For Android, we successfully implemented the required functionality and are able to collect the following metrics:
Signal strength level (0-4)
Signal strength in dBm
RSSI
RSRQ
Cell ID
Location Area Code
Carrier name
Mobile country code
Mobile network code
Radio access technology
Connection status
Duplex mode
However, for iOS, we are facing challenges with CoreTelephony, which is not returning the necessary data. We are aware that CoreTelephony is deprecated and are looking for alternatives.
We noticed that a lot of the information we need is available via FTMInternal-4. Is there a way to access this data for a private app? Are there any other recommended approaches or frameworks that can be used to gather cellular network information on iOS for an app that won't be distributed via the Apple Store?
my swift code
import Foundation
import CoreTelephony
class RfSignalStrengthImpl: RfSignalStrengthApi {
func getCellularSignalStrength(completion: @escaping (Result<CellularSignalStrength, Error>) -> Void) {
let networkInfo = CTTelephonyNetworkInfo()
guard let carrier = networkInfo.serviceSubscriberCellularProviders?.values.first else {
completion(.failure(NSError(domain: "com.xxxx.yyyy", code: 0, userInfo: [NSLocalizedDescriptionKey: "Carrier not found"])))
return
}
let carrierName = carrier.carrierName ?? "Unknown"
let mobileCountryCode = carrier.mobileCountryCode ?? "Unknown"
let mobileNetworkCode = carrier.mobileNetworkCode ?? "Unknown"
let radioAccessTechnology = networkInfo.serviceCurrentRadioAccessTechnology?.values.first ?? "Unknown"
var connectionStatus = "Unknown"
...
...
}
Thank you for your assistance.
On iOS 18 some string functions return incorrect values in some cases.
Found problems on replacingOccurrences() and split() functions, but there may be others.
In the results of these functions in some cases a character is left in the result string when it shouldn't.
This did not happen on iOS17 and older versions.
I created a very simple Test Project to reproduce the problem.
If I run these tests on iOS17 or older the tests succeed.
If I run these tests on iOS18 the tests fail.
test_TestStr1() function shows a problem in replacingOccurrences() directly using strings.
test_TestStr2() function shows a problem in split() that seems to happen only when bridging from NSString to String.
import XCTest
final class TestStrings18Tests: XCTestCase {
override func setUpWithError() throws {
// Put setup code here. This method is called before the invocation of each test method in the class.
}
override func tearDownWithError() throws {
// Put teardown code here. This method is called after the invocation of each test method in the class.
}
func test_TestStr1()
{
let str1 = "_%\u{7}1\u{7}_";
let str2 = "%\u{7}1\u{7}";
let str3 = "X";
let str4 = str1.replacingOccurrences(of: str2, with: str3);
//This should be true
XCTAssertTrue(str4 == "_X_");
}
func test_TestStr2()
{
let s1 = "TVAR(6)\u{11}201\"Ã\"\u{11}201\"A\"";
let s2 = s1.components(separatedBy: "\u{11}201");
let t1 = NSString("TVAR(6)\u{11}201\"Ã\"\u{11}201\"A\"") as String;
let t2 = t1.components(separatedBy: "\u{11}201");
XCTAssertTrue(s2.count == t2.count);
let c = s2.count
//This should be True
XCTAssertTrue(s2[0] == t2[0]);
}
}

Hi
In C#, one can define associated functions by the following.
Notice that "Declarations DE" is a reference to a function in another C# project file. This lets the compiler know that there are other references in the project.
Likewise, "Form_Load" is the entry point of the code, similar to "main" in C. Any calls to related functions can be made in this section, to the functions that have been previously defined above.
So I set out trying to find similar information about SwiftUI, and found several, but only offer partial answers to my questions.
The YouTube video...
Extracting functions and subviews in SwiftUI | Bootcamp #20 - YouTube
... goes into some of the details, but still leaves me hanging.
Likewise...
SOLVED: Swift Functions In Swift UI – SwiftUI – Hacking with Swift forums
... has further information, but nothing concrete that I am looking for.
Now in the SwiftUI project, I tried this...
The most confusing thing for me, is where is "main"?
I found several examples that call functions from the structure shown above, BUT I have no reason as to why.
So one web example on StackOverFlow called the function from position 1. That did not work.
Position 2 worked to call the function at position 3, but really, why?
All this activity brings up a lot of questions for me, such as:
Does SwiftUI need function callouts similar to C#, and they are called out even before running "main". I seem to recall Borland Delphi being this way as well.
How does SwiftUI make references to other classes (places where other functions are stored in separate files)?
Does SwiftUI actually make use of "main" in the normal sense, i.e. similar to C, C#, Rust and so on?
I did notice that once a SwiftUI function is called, it makes reference to data being passed very similar to other languages, at least for the examples I found.
Note that I looked at official SwiftUI documentation, but did not come across information that answers the above.

As a fun project, I'm wanting to model an electronic circuit.
Components inherit from a superclass (ElectronicComponent). Each subclass (e.g. Resistor) has certain methods to return properties (e.g. resistance), but may vary by the number of outlets (leads) they have, and what they are named.
Each outlet connects to a Junction.
In my code to assemble a circuit, while I'm able to manually hook up the outlets to the junctions, I'd like to be able to use code similar to the following…
class Lead: Hashable // implementation omitted
{
let id = UUID()
unowned let component: ElectronicComponent
weak var connection: Junction?
init(component: ElectronicComponent, to connection: Junction? = nil)
{
self.component = component
self.connection = connection
}
}
@dynamicMemberLookup
class ElectronicComponent
{
let id = UUID()
var connections: Set<Lead> = []
let label: String?
init(label: String)
{
self.label = label
}
subscript<T>(dynamicMember keyPath: KeyPath<ElectronicComponent, T>) -> T
{
self[keyPath: keyPath]
}
func connect(lead: KeyPath<ElectronicComponent, Lead>, to junction: Junction)
{
let lead = self[keyPath: lead]
lead.connection = junction
connections.insert(lead)
}
}
class Resistor: ElectronicComponent
{
var input, output: Lead?
let resistance: Measurement<UnitElectricResistance>
init(_ label: String, resistance: Measurement<UnitElectricResistance>)
{
self.resistance = resistance
super.init(label: label)
}
}
let resistorA = Resistor("R1", resistance: .init(value: 100, unit: .ohms))
let junctionA = Junction(name: "A")
resistorA.connect(lead: \.outlet2, to: junctionA)
While I'm able to do this by implementing @dynamicMemberLookup in each subclass, I'd like to be able to do this in the superclass to save repeating the code.
subscript<T>(dynamicMember keyPath: KeyPath<ElectronicComponent, T>) -> T
{
self[keyPath: keyPath]
}
Unfortunately, the compiler is not allowing me to do this as the superclass doesn't know about the subclass properties, and at the call site, the subclass isn't seen as ElectronicComponent.
I've been doing trial and error with protocol conformance and other things, but hitting walls each time.
One possibility is replacing the set of outlets with a dictionary, and using Strings instead of key paths, but would prefer not to.
Another thing I haven't tried is creating and adopting a protocol with the method implemented in there. Another considered approach is using macros in the subclasses, but I'd like to see if there is a possibility of achieving the goal using my current approach, for learning as much as anything.
Is this possible while inserting a String into Set

Hey all!
in my personal quest to make future proof apps moving to Swift 6, one of my app has a problem when setting an artwork image in MPNowPlayingInfoCenter
Here's what I'm using to set the metadata
func setMetadata(title: String? = nil, artist: String? = nil, artwork: String? = nil) async throws {
let defaultArtwork = UIImage(named: "logo")!
var nowPlayingInfo = [
MPMediaItemPropertyTitle: title ?? "***",
MPMediaItemPropertyArtist: artist ?? "***",
MPMediaItemPropertyArtwork: MPMediaItemArtwork(boundsSize: defaultArtwork.size) { _ in
defaultArtwork
}
] as [String: Any]
if let artwork = artwork {
guard let url = URL(string: artwork) else { return }
let (data, response) = try await URLSession.shared.data(from: url)
guard (response as? HTTPURLResponse)?.statusCode == 200 else { return }
guard let image = UIImage(data: data) else { return }
nowPlayingInfo[MPMediaItemPropertyArtwork] = MPMediaItemArtwork(boundsSize: image.size) { _ in
image
}
}
MPNowPlayingInfoCenter.default().nowPlayingInfo = nowPlayingInfo
}
the app crashes when hitting
MPMediaItemPropertyArtwork: MPMediaItemArtwork(boundsSize: defaultArtwork.size) { _ in
defaultArtwork
}
or
nowPlayingInfo[MPMediaItemPropertyArtwork] = MPMediaItemArtwork(boundsSize: image.size) { _ in
image
}
commenting out these two make the app work again.
Again, no clue on why.
Thanks in advance

which do not resolve this issue that I am encountering
Description of problem
I am seeing an error which prevents using lldb debugger on Swift code/projects. It is seen on any Swift or SwiftUI project that I've tried. This is the error displayed in lldb console when first breakpoint is encountered:
Cannot create Swift scratch context (couldn't create a ClangImporter)(lldb)
Xcode Version 12.3 (12C33)
macOS Big Sur Intel M1
Troubleshooting
I originally thought this was also working on an Intel Mac running Big Sur/Xcode 12.3, but was mistaken. Using my customized shell environment on the following setups, I encounter the same couldn't create a ClangImporter.
M1 Mac mini, main account (an "Admin" account)
same M1 Mac mini, new "dev" account (an "Admin" account)
Intel MBP, main account
They are all using an Intel Homebrew install, and my customized shell environment if that provides a clue?
I captured some lldb debugging info by putting expr types in ~/.lldbinit but the outputs were basically identical (when discounting scratch file paaths and memory addresses) compared to the "working clean" account log (described below)
log enable -f /tmp/lldb-log.txt lldb expr types
works in a "clean" user account
I created a new, uncustomized "Standard" testuser account on the M1 Mac mini, and launched the same system Xcode.app. There was no longer this error message, and was able to inspect variables at a swift program breakpoint in Swift context, including po symbol.
Impact
Effectively this makes the debugger in Swift on Xcode projects on my systems essentially unable to inspect Swift contexts' state.
Hi, I'm trying to modify the ScreenCaptureKit Sample code by implementing an actor for Metal rendering, but I'm experiencing issues with frame rendering sequence.
My app workflow is:
ScreenCapture -> createFrame -> setRenderData
Metal draw callback -> renderAsync (getData from renderData)
I've added timestamps to verify frame ordering, I also using binarySearch to insert the frame with timestamp, and while the timestamps appear to be in sequence, the actual rendering output seems out of order.

I have my project running perfectly fine on Xcode 16. However, in Xcode 26 it doesn't build due to an error that I do not understand. I have three files that pertain to this error:
// FriendListResponse.swift
import Foundation
struct FriendListResponse: Decodable {
var friendships: [Friendship]
var collections: [FriendCollection]
}
// Friendship.swift
import Foundation
struct Friendship: Decodable {
var createdAt: String
var friendId: Int
var friendUserId: Int // user ID of the friend
var friendUsername: String
var id: Int
var tagNames: [String]
}
// FriendCollection.swift
struct FriendCollection: Decodable {
var id: Int
var permalink: String
var tagNames: [String]
var title: String
}
On the first file, FriendListResponse.swift, I am the simple error message "circular reference." I do not understand how these self-contained structs could create a circular reference. Although I have other data types in my project, none of them are even referenced in these files except for Friendship and FriendCollection.
The FriendListResponse is a struct that is created from JSON values that are fetched from an API. This is the function that fetches the JSON:
public static func listFriends(username: String) async throws -> [Friendship] {
let data = try await sendGETRequest(
url: "people/\(username)/friends/list.json"
)
print(String(data: data, encoding: .utf8)!)
let decoder = JSONDecoder()
decoder.keyDecodingStrategy = .convertFromSnakeCase
let wrapper = try decoder.decode(FriendListResponse.self, from: data)
return wrapper.friendships
}
// Note: the function sendGETRequest is just
// a function that I have created that takes a set
// of parameters and returns a data object
// using the HTTP GET protocol. I don't think
// that it is related to this issue. However, if you
// think that it is, I can share the code for that.
This error has also happened in a few other cases within contained networks of my data structure.
I do not know why this error is only appearing once I launch Xcode 26 beta with my project files. I would think that this error also would appear in Xcode 16.4.
Any help would be greatly appreciated in my process to compile my project on Xcode 26!
I was a long time C# programmer, and recently started learning Rust. Now that I recently purchased my first Mac, I ran into several issues trying to run binaries on the Mac, due to various restrictions. On another forum post here, it was mentioned that I should take a look at Swift, as a development tool.
This comment brings up an entirely new topic for me, as I discovered that the Swift project file structure seems daunting. But first let's backtrack to when I used C#.
C#
The first graphic show the default file structure that I used to start a new C# project. I would copy this entire folder structure to the clipboard and paste it where my new project folder was located, and start coding.
Using this same principle, I wrote my own music player, and again the file structure for the entire project was as below. For those that may not know, the "bin" folder contains both debug and release folders and appropriate contents.
Swift
I created a Windows UI called "Test" using Swift, and then started poking around the file system, trying to determine the file structure that was created. Unbeknownst to me at the time, part of the project files ended up on the Desktop in a folder called Test. I did not expect Swift to place the files there.
When I click on the Test folder and look inside, I see a file with a "xcodeproj" extension, which makes sense to me, as this is similar to C#. What I don't see however, is any file labeled Test.App. I also don't see either debug or release folders for this project.
Obviously there are additional files for this project that are "somewhere", just not in a location I am aware of.

"the compiler is unable to type-check this expression in reasonable time; try breaking up the expression into distinct sub-expressions" ...... it killing me !!!!
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
}
}
}

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.
