We are migrating to swift 6 from swift 5 using Xcode 16.2. we are getting below errors in almost each of our source code files :
Call to main actor-isolated initializer 'init(storyboard:bundle:)' in a synchronous non isolated context
Main actor-isolated property 'delegate' can not be mutated from a nonisolated context
Call to main actor-isolated instance method 'register(cell:)' in a synchronous nonisolated context
Call to main actor-isolated instance method 'setup()' in a synchronous nonisolated context
Few questions related to these compile errors.
Some of our functions arguments have default value set but swift 6 does not allow to set any default values. This requires a lot of code changes throughout the project. This would be lot of source code re-write.
Using annotations like @uncheck sendable , @Sendable on the class (Main actor) name, lot of functions within those classes , having inside some code which coming from other classes which also showing main thread issue even we using @uncheck sendable.
There are so many compile errors, we are still seeing other than what we have listed here. Fixing these compile errors throughout our project, would be like a re-write of our whole application, which would take lot of time. In order for us to migrate efficiently, we have few questions where we need your help with. Below are the questions.
Are there any ways we can bypass these errors using any keywords or any other way possible?
Can Swift 5 and Swift 6 co-exist? so, we can slowly migrate over a period of time.
