I notice that Swift Data type's hashValue collision when first 80 byte of data and data length are same because of the Implementation only use first 80 bytes to compute the hash.
https://web.archive.org/web/20120605052030/https://opensource.apple.com/source/CF/CF-635.21/CFData.c
also, even if hash collision on the situation like this, I can check data is really equal or not by ==
does there any reason for this implementation(only use 80 byte of data to make hashValue)?
test code is under below
let dataArray: [UInt8] = [
0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00,
0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00,

0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00,
0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00
]
var dataArray1: [UInt8] = dataArray
var dataArray2: [UInt8] = dataArray
dataArray1.append(contentsOf: [0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00])
dataArray2.append(contentsOf: [0xff, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff])
let data1 = Data(dataArray1)
let data2 = Data(dataArray2) // Only last 4 byte differs
print(data1.hashValue)
print(data2.hashValue)
print(data1.hashValue == data2.hashValue) // true
print(data1 == data2) // false

I have a VPN application published in the app store. Used Ikev2 for this personal VPN. There are two in-app purchases. One is 'Monthly' and another is 'Yearly' with 3 days free trial. We have seen something strange for the yearly subscriptions which has free trail, the cancellation reason through the billing issue is too high like 70-80% due to billing retry state. Some other apps which have billing issues under 10% always. We have done some research and found that if the user doesn't cancel and Apple is unable to charge then it goes to a billing retry state.
If users don't like the app, they could cancel their subscription/free trail easily but they are not doing this and why Apple unable to charge the bill after the trial ends. Am i missing something in the developer end?
For my app I've created a Dictionary that I want to persist using AppStorage
In order to be able to do this, I added RawRepresentable conformance for my specific type of Dictionary. (see code below)
typealias ScriptPickers = [Language: Bool]
extension ScriptPickers: @retroactive RawRepresentable where Key == Language, Value == Bool {
public init?(rawValue: String) {
guard let data = rawValue.data(using: .utf8),
let result = try? JSONDecoder().decode(ScriptPickers.self, from: data)
else {
return nil
}
self = result
}
public var rawValue: String {
guard let data = try? JSONEncoder().encode(self), // data is Data type
let result = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8) // coerce NSData to String
else {
return "{}" // empty Dictionary represented as String
}
return result
}
}
public enum Language: String, Codable, {
case en = "en"
case fr = "fr"
case ja = "ja"
case ko = "ko"
case hr = "hr"
case de = "de"
}
This all works fine in my app, however trying to run any tests, the build fails with the following:
Conflicting conformance of 'Dictionary<Key, Value>' to protocol 'RawRepresentable'; there cannot be more than one conformance, even with different conditional bounds
But then when I comment out my RawRepresentable implementation, I get the following error when attempting to run tests:
Value of type 'ScriptPickers' (aka 'Dictionary<Language, Bool>') has no member 'rawValue'
I hope Joseph Heller is out there somewhere chuckling at my predicament
any/all ideas greatly appreciated
Hey team I'm facing an issue where startDate is 1 January 2025 and endDate is 31 March 2025 between this 2 dates is 90 days, but on my code is being taken as 89 days
I've seen the math of the code excludes the first partial day (from midnight to 06:00) on 2025-01-01, which results in 89 full days instead of 90 days.
startDate: 2025-01-01 06:00:00 +0000
endDate: 2025-03-31 06:00:00 +0000
this is my function
func daysBetweenDates() -> Int? {
guard let selectedStartDate = selectedStartDate?.date else { return nil }
guard let selectedEndDate = selectedEndDate?.date else { return 0 }
let calendar = Calendar.current
let dateComponents = calendar.dateComponents([.day], from: selectedStartDate, to: selectedEndDate)
return dateComponents.day
}
what I've tried is reset the hours to 0 so it can take the full day and return 90 days
like this
func daysBetweenDates() -> Int? {
guard let selectedStartDate = selectedStartDate?.date else { return nil }
guard let selectedEndDate = selectedEndDate?.date else { return 0 }
var calendar = Calendar(identifier: .gregorian)
calendar.timeZone = TimeZone(secondsFromGMT: 0) ?? .current
let cleanMidNightStartDate = calendar.startOfDay(for: selectedStartDate)
let cleanMidNightEndDate = calendar.startOfDay(for: selectedEndDate.addingTimeInterval(24 * 60 * 60))
let dateComponents = calendar.dateComponents([.day], from: cleanMidNightStartDate, to: cleanMidNightEndDate)
let daysCount = dateComponents.day ?? 0
return daysCount
}
this worked for that date specifically but when I tried to change the date for example
startDate: 18 December 2024.
endDate: 18 March 2025.
between those dates we have 90 days but this function now reads 91.
what I'm looking is a cleaver solution for this problem so I can have the best posible quality code, thanks in advance!

Hello,
For the below code please can you tell me why the test code print("line 64") is being printed after the test code print("line 84") ? (i.e. how do I stop that happening?)
I would like the program to wait until the results array has been parsed before continuing the code (otherwise it does not have content to present).
I'm a bit confused why this is happening because I haven't written "async" anywhere.

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?
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 found a similar problem here https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/764777 and I could solve my problem by wrapping the call to requestAutomaticPassPresentationSuppression in a call to DispatchQueue.global().async.
But my question is if this is really how things should work. Even with strict concurrency warnings in Swift 6 I don't get any warnings. Just a runtime crash.
How are we supposed to find these problems? Couldn't the compiler assist with a warning/error.
Why does the compiler make the assumptions it does about the method that is declared like this:
@available(iOS 9.0, *)
open class func requestAutomaticPassPresentationSuppression(responseHandler: @escaping (PKAutomaticPassPresentationSuppressionResult) -> Void) -> PKSuppressionRequestToken
Now that we have migrated to Swift 6 our code base contains a bunch of unknown places where it will crash as above.
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"

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?

I get this red warning in Xcode every time my app is syncing to the iCloud. My model has only basic types and enum that conform to Codable so i'm not sure what is the problem.
App is working well, synchronization works. But the warning doesn't look good.
Maybe someone has idea how to debug it.
I have configured DateFormatter in the following way:
let df = DateFormatter()
df.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z'"
df.locale = .init(identifier: "en")
df.timeZone = .init(secondsFromGMT: 0)
in some user devices instead of ISO8601 style it returns date like 09/25/2024 12:00:34
Tried to change date format from settings, changed calendar and I think that checked everything that can cause the problem, but nothing helped to reproduce this issue, but actually this issue exists and consumers complain about not working date picker.
Is there any information what can cause such problem? May be there is some bug in iOS itself?
Hi Apple Developer Community,
I'm facing a crash when updating an array of tuples from both a background thread and the main thread simultaneously. Here's a simplified version of the code in a macOS app using AppKit:
class ViewController: NSViewController {
var mainthreadButton = NSButton(title: "test", target: self, action: nil)
var numbers = Array(repeating: (dim: Int, key: String)(0, "default"), count: 1000)
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
view.addSubview(mainthreadButton)
mainthreadButton.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
mainthreadButton.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerXAnchor).isActive = true
mainthreadButton.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerYAnchor).isActive = true
mainthreadButton.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 100).isActive = true
mainthreadButton.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 100).isActive = true
mainthreadButton.target = self
mainthreadButton.action = #selector(arraytest(_:))
}
@objc func arraytest(_ sender: NSButton) {
print("array update started")
// Background update
DispatchQueue.global().async {
for i in 0..<1000 {
self.numbers[i].dim = i
}
}
// Main thread update
var sum = 0
for i in 0..<1000 {
numbers[i].dim = i + 1
sum += numbers[i].dim
print("test \(sum)")
}
mainthreadButton.title = "test = \(sum)"
}
}
This results in a crash with the following message:
malloc: double free for ptr 0x136040c00
malloc: *** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
What's interesting:
This crash only happens when the tuple contains a String ((dim: Int, key: String))
If I change the tuple type to use two Int values ((dim: Int, key: Int)), the crash does not occur
My Questions:
Why does mutating an array of tuples containing a String crash when accessed from multiple threads?
Why is the crash avoided when the tuple contains only primitive types like Int?
Is there an underlying memory management issue with value types containing reference types like String?
Any explanation about this behavior and best practices for thread-safe mutation of such arrays would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
According to the doc:
The value returned is the same as the value returned in the kEventParamKeyCode when using Carbon Events.
So where can I find kEventParamKeyCode?
NSPredicate(format: "SELF MATCHES %@", "^[0-9A-Z]+$").evaluate(with: "126𝒥ℰℬℬ𝒢𝒦𝒮33")
Returns true, and I don't know why. 𝒥ℰℬℬ𝒢𝒦𝒮 is not between 0-9 and A-Z, and why it returns true? How to avoid similar problem like this when using NSPredicate?
I’m working on a project in Xcode 16.2 and encountered an issue where getAPI() with a default implementation in a protocol extension doesn’t show up in autocomplete. Here’s a simplified version of the code:
import Foundation
public protocol Repository {
func getAPI(from url: String?)
}
extension Repository {
public func getAPI(from url: String? = "https://...") {
getAPI(from: url)
}
}
final class _Repository: Repository {
func getAPI(from url: String?) {
// Task...
}
}
let repo: Repository = _Repository()
repo.getAPI( // Autocomplete doesn't suggest getAPI()
I’ve tried the following without success:
• Clean build folder
• Restart Xcode
• Reindexing
Is there something wrong with the code, or is this a known issue with Xcode 16.2? I’d appreciate any insights or suggestions.
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 > Build Options > 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..
Hello Everyone,
I have a use case where I wanted to interpret the "Data" object received as a part of my NWConnection's recv call. I have my interpretation logic in cpp so in swift I extract the pointer to the raw bytes from Data and pass it to cpp as a UnsafeMutableRawPointer.
In cpp it is received as a void * where I typecast it to char * to read data byte by byte before framing a response.
I am able to get the pointer of the bytes by using
// Swift Code
// pContent is the received Data
if let content = pContent, !content.isEmpty {
bytes = content.withUnsafeBytes { rawBufferPointer in
guard let buffer = rawBufferPointer.baseAddress else {
// return with null data.
}
// invoke cpp method to interpret data and trigger response.
}
// Cpp Code
void InterpretResponse (void * pDataPointer, int pDataLength) {
char * data = (char *) pDataPointer;
for (int iterator = 0; iterator < pDataLength; ++iterator )
{
std::cout << data<< std::endl;
data++;
}
}
When I pass this buffer to cpp, I am unable to interpret it properly.
Can someone help me out here?
Thanks :)
Harshal
I am porting an old app from ObjC. The app uses many defined constants such as:
#define COM_OFFSET 12.5
and many variables that are read and/or written throughout the App, such as:
PCDate* Dates[367];
@class PCMainView;
PCMainView* MainView;
in one file called "PCCommon.h"
How do I duplicate this function in Swift? I have looked around and have found no help.
Thanks in advance.
