I am an SDK provider working with Swift Package Manager (SPM) to deliver libraries for iOS developers. My SDK currently uses SPM targets to modularize functionality. However, SPM enforces strict resource bundling, which prevents me from efficiently offering multiple targets—each with a different set of localization files—in a single package. Current Limitation: When multiple SPM targets share the same source and resource directory but require distinct sets of .lproj localization folders (for app size or client requirements), SPM raises “overlapping sources” errors. The only workaround is to manually split resource directories or have clients prune localizations post-build, which is inefficient and error-prone. Feature Request: Please consider adding native support in Swift Package Manager for: Defining multiple targets within a single package that can process overlapping source/resource directories, Each target specifying a distinct subset of localization resource files via the exclude or a new designated parameter, Enabling efficient modular delivery of SDKs to clients needing different localization payloads, without redundant resource duplication or error-prone manual pruning. Support for this feature would greatly ease SDK distribution, lower app sizes, and improve package maintainability for iOS and all Swift platforms.

Hi, I've got this view model that will do a search using a database of keywords. It worked fine when the SearchEngine wasn't an actor but a regular class and the SearchResult wasn't a Sendable. But when I changed them, it returned Type of expression is ambiguous without a type annotation error at line 21 ( searchTask = Task {). What did I do wrong here? Thanks. protocol SearchableEngine: Actor { func searchOrSuggest(from query: String) -> SearchResult? func setValidTitles(_ validTitles: [String]) } @MainActor final class SearchViewModel: ObservableObject { @Published var showSuggestion: Bool = false @Published var searchedTitles: [String] = [] @Published var suggestedKeyword: String? = nil private var searchTask: Task<Void, Never>? private let searchEngine: SearchableEngine init(searchEngine: SearchableEngine) { self.searchEngine = searchEngine } func search(_ text: String) { searchTask?.cancel() searchTask = Task { guard !Task.isCancelled else { return } let searchResult = await searchEngine.searchOrSuggest(from: text) ?? .notFound guard !Task.isCancelled else { return } await MainActor.run { switch searchResult { case let .searchItems(_, items): showSuggestion = false searchedTitles = items.map(\.title) suggestedKeyword = nil case let .suggestion(keyword, _, items): showSuggestion = true searchedTitles = items.map(\.title) suggestedKeyword = keyword case .notFound: showSuggestion = false searchedTitles = [] suggestedKeyword = nil } } } } }

Hello Everyone! I started programming 6 months ago and started Swift / IOS last month. My learning so far has mainly been with Python. I learned a lot of the package ‘SQLAlchemy’, which has very ‘example based’ documentation. If I wanted to learn how to make a many to many relationship, there was a demonstration with code. But going into Swift and Apple packages, I notice most of the documentation is definitions of structures, modifiers, functions, etc. I wanted to make the equivalent of python ‘date times’ in my swift app. I found the section in the documentation “Foundation->Dates & Times”, but I couldn’t figure how to use that in my code. I assume my goal should not be to memorize every Swift and apple functionality by memory to be an app developer. So I would appreciate advice on how to approach this aspect of learning programming.

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 MLProject_Archive_failure.txt

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. #dev_div

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:)?

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.

I think that it would be helpful to have better interoperability between Swift and JavaScript. There are a lot of useful packages on NPM that don't have equivalents for Swift. It would be helpful if Apple provided easier ways to use NPM packages in a Swift project. Currently, the JavaScriptCore framework is missing many standard things used in many packages, like the fetch API. It would be helpful to be able to run sandboxed JavaScript code inside of a Swift app but allow access to specific domains, folders, etc., using a permissions system similar to Deno.

I am implementing the FFT using vDSP.DiscreteFourierTransform. According to the official documentation, the count parameter has requirements as outlined below: /// The `count` parameter must be: /// * For split-complex real-to-complex: `2ⁿ` or `f * 2ⁿ`, where `f` is `3`, `5`, or `15` and `n >= 4`. /// * For split-complex complex-to-complex: `2ⁿ` or `f * 2ⁿ`, where `f` is `3`, `5`, or `15` and `n >= 3`. /// * For interleaved: `f * 2ⁿ`, where `f` is `2`, `3`, `5`, `3x3`, `3x5`, or `5x5`, and `n>=2`. Despite adhering to these specifications in theory, my attempt to initialize an interleaved DFT with count = 2 * 2 * 5 * 5 (equivalent to 5×5 × 2²) resulted in a failure. Below is the code snippet I used for the initialization: do { let dft = try vDSP.DiscreteFourierTransform( previous: nil, count: 2 * 2 * 5 * 5, direction: .forward, transformType: .complexReal, ofType: DSPComplex.self ) print(dft) } catch { print("DFT init failed:", error) } Could somebody more knowledgeable with these APIs have a look? Thanks!

I'm trying to learn and focus on the task and your examples keep having hidden conundrums in them. Here is an example that got me snagged for hours last night going, Well what the F do they want me to name it? What is it you want me to learn here? Because you pose a giant riddle of name something that you should be given a name for... My friend said to me that this is a common thing you will have to do and they were right however... What are you asking me to do? Get stuck on the variable naming problem where I'm going... Yeah those are math terms from 20+ years ago and I have no idea how to classify those terms... Are you asking me that? No. So why is that in the problem. These conundrums mixed in with legitimate problems honestly make me not want to learn Swift at all.

Hello guys! I faced a problem with building... My device suddenly updated to iOS 15.4.1, my Xcode was 13.2 and I had to update it to the latest version (13.3.1) to build the app. After the update, I had a few problems which were successfully solved but one of them stopped me for a few hours. The problem is with Bridging Headers or Swift Compiler, I really don't know what I did badly, and what causes problems. On several forums I often read that is important to set: Build Settings &gt; Build Options &gt; Build Libraries for Distribution But in any case it doesn't work, on yes: error: using bridging headers with module interfaces is unsupported on no: (line with import framework SWXMLHash) /Users/blablabla/SSLModel.swift:9:8: error: module compiled with Swift 5.5.1 cannot be imported by the Swift 5.6 compiler: /Users/blablabla2/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/SWXMLHash.framework/Modules/SWXMLHash.swiftmodule/arm64-apple-ios.swiftmodule import SWXMLHash It will be important that I use Carthage. What should I do? Clone all 10 frameworks that I use and re-build them with a new Xcode which includes compiler 5.6? That may be a bad solution... Any answers on similar topics don't help..

I am trying to use initialize a Decimal type using its generic binary integer exactly initializer but it keeps crashing with a fatal error regardless of the value used: Code to reproduce the issue: let binaryInteger = -10 let decimal = Decimal(exactly: binaryInteger) // error: Execution was interrupted, reason: EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION (code=EXC_I386_INVOP, subcode=0x0). Is it a known bug?

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.

Hi all, I'm running into a Swift Concurrency issue and would appreciate some help understanding what's going on. I have a protocol and an actor set up like this: protocol PersistenceListener: AnyObject { func persistenceDidUpdate(key: String, newValue: Any?) } actor Persistence { func addListener(_ listener: PersistenceListener) { listeners.add(listener) } /// Removes a listener. func removeListener(_ listener: PersistenceListener) { listeners.remove(listener) } // MARK: - Private Properties private var listeners = NSHashTable<AnyObject>.weakObjects() // MARK: - Private Methods /// Notifies all registered listeners on the main actor. private func notifyListeners(key: String, value: Any?) async { let currentListeners = listeners.allObjects.compactMap { $0 as? PersistenceListener } for listener in currentListeners { await MainActor.run { listener.persistenceDidUpdate(key: key, newValue: value) } } } } When I compile this code, I get a concurrency error: "Sending 'listener' risks causing data races"

Hi, I'm trying to add Swift code to my Obj-C project. I've gone through all the tutorials and troubleshooting advice I can find online, no dice. I would appreciate any help, thank you so much in advance. I add a new swift file to my Obj-C project XCode offers to create a bridging header file for me, yes please New .swift file and .h file are added to my project no problem Header file shows up in build settings no problem I add a new class to my new swift file ("@objc class HelloPrinter: NSObject") When I build the app, nothing is generated in the bridging header file and the class is obviously inaccessible to my obj-c code Is this supposed to work? My understanding is that it's supposed to work. Somewhat concerning is the text that XCode puts in the bridging header file when it's created: "Use this file to import your target's public headers that you would like to expose to Swift." I don't want to use this bridging header file for anything. I want XCode to GENERATE STUFF in the bridging file. I also don't want to expose anything to Swift. I want the opposite to happen. So I don't get this text at all. Thanks in advance again.

I am a Chinese student beginner ,do you have any advice for me to learn swift？I don't know how to start it.Please!🙏
