A little trick
I had a problem that my app did not work outside Xcode (had to include the metalkit.framework I found a simple trick to get my NSLog outputs and locate the issue: NSURL *downloadsDirectory = [[[NSFileManager defaultManager] URLsForDirectory:NSDownloadsDirectory inDomains:NSUserDomainMask] firstObject]; NSURL *fileURL = [downloadsDirectory URLByAppendingPathComponent:@"Log.txt"]; NSString *filePath = [fileURL path]; // Redirect stderr to the file freopen([filePath fileSystemRepresentation], "a+", stderr); Now you get debug info in your Download folder!

WidgetKit Not running in iOS 14/15 (FBSOpenApplicationServiceErrorDomain)
I was adding WidgetExtension target for my old project. The widget target is running fine in iOS 17, In my case, widget need to support iOS 14 and above, so I updated my widget code to old style, To removing WidgetConfigurationIntent and AppIntentTimelineProvider. import WidgetKit import SwiftUI struct Provider: TimelineProvider { func placeholder(in context: Context) -> SimpleEntry { SimpleEntry() } func getSnapshot(in context: Context, completion: @escaping (SimpleEntry) -> Void) { completion(SimpleEntry()) } func getTimeline(in context: Context, completion: @escaping (Timeline<SimpleEntry>) -> Void) { completion(Timeline(entries: [SimpleEntry()], policy: .never)) } typealias Entry = SimpleEntry } struct SimpleEntry: TimelineEntry { let date: Date = Date() } struct NCWidgetEntryView : View { var entry: Provider.Entry var body: some View { VStack { Text("Time:") Text(entry.date, style: .time) } } } struct NCWidget: Widget { let kind: String = "NCWidget" var body: some WidgetConfiguration { StaticConfiguration(kind: kind, provider: Provider()) { entry in NCWidgetEntryView(entry: entry) } .configurationDisplayName("DisplayName") .description("description") } } In my case, the code was working fine in iOS 17 simulator, But if I try to run in iOS 15, it returns the below error code-SendProcessControlEvent:toPid: encountered an error: Error Domain=com.apple.dt.deviceprocesscontrolservice Code=8 "Failed to show Widget 'com.name-pprd.NCWidgetExtension' error: Error Domain=FBSOpenApplicationServiceErrorDomain Code=5 "The request to open "com.apple.springboard" failed."

Weird crashes when accessing Swift Array
For some time now Xcode has been downloading crash reports from users of my app about crashes related to arrays. One of them looks like this: ... Code Type: ARM-64 Parent Process: launchd [1] User ID: 501 Date/Time: 2024-07-18 14:59:40.4375 +0800 OS Version: macOS 15.0 (24A5289h) ...

And the relevant code looks like this: class MyObject { var myProperty: [MyObject] { get { ... } set { let items = newValue.map({ $0.id }) ... } } } What could cause such crashes? Could they be caused by anything other than concurrent access from multiple threads (which I'm quite sure is not the case here, as I only access these arrays from the main thread)?

Contents of Swift dictionaries and arrays being lost
Just when I think I am finally starting to understand Swift I come across a gotcha like the following: I have two object, a swiftui display and one of data to be displayed. Ok, sounds easy. The data is read out of a JSON file so I have a set of arrays and dictionaries. The data is valid when read, it is definitely there, but when I go to display it, its gone. Just vanished. Wasted about a day on this so far, and I’ve seen it before, the inability to pass out of an object an array or dictionary with contents intact. If I create an array var, and not let the system do it, contents are preserved. So, in the data object I’ll have something like this: struct DataObject{ var item: [String:Any] item=JSONData serialized out of memory, and may have say, 12 fields } In my SwiftUI module I have: var item=dataObject.item dataObject.item now has 0 fields. I can allocate and initialize a dictionary in DataObject and those elements come through fine. So it seems like the stuff being serialized from JSON is being deleted out from under me.

Model Container Sendable Throwing Error in Swift 6
Hi all, I just wanted to ask how people were using ModelActor with the Swift 6 language mode enabled. My current implementation involves passing the ModelContainer to my ModelActor, which worked in Sonoma and previous betas of Sequoia, however in the current Beta 3, I get this error: "Sending 'self.modelContext.container' risks causing data races" I am a bit confused by this, as from what I understand, ModelContainer conforms to Sendable, so ideally this error should not be thrown. Is this a bug in Beta 3? Thanks in advance.

Need Objective-C translation of DispatchSource.makeFileSystemObjectSource
I came across a useful repo on GitHub: https://github.com/GianniCarlo/DirectoryWatcher/blob/master/Sources/DirectoryWatcher/DirectoryWatcher.swift self.queue = DispatchQueue.global() self.source = DispatchSource.makeFileSystemObjectSource(fileDescriptor: descriptor, eventMask: .write, queue: self.queue) self.source?.setEventHandler { [weak self] in self?.directoryDidChange() } self.source?.setCancelHandler() { close(descriptor) } self.source?.resume() How do I translate this to OC version? I have an app that was written in OC and I plan to incorporate this directory watcher into the project.

What does ".island" suffix in symbol name mean?
During my analysis of the binary size changes after compiling Swift source code, I discovered symbols with the ".island" suffix. I couldn't find meaningful information about this suffix through my search, so I decided to reach out for assistance. While comparing the changes in binary size after modifying specific code, I noticed a significant increase (from 33MB to 520MB). Upon analyzing the symbols of the enlarged binary using the nm command, I found the following pattern: t _$s12{SomeSymbol}WOb t _$s12{SomeSymbol}WOb.island t _$s12{SomeSymbol}WOb.island2 t _$s12{SomeSymbol}WOb.island3 When I output the symbols of the binary using nm, I noticed many symbols with the same name but different ".island", ".island2", ".island3" suffixes. Disassembling the binary showed that functions with these suffixes simply delegate calls sequentially: x.island3 -> x.island2 -> x.island1 -> x. It appears that these symbols serve as delegates for function calls, but I would like to understand why such duplicated functions with these suffixes are generated. Could someone help me to provide some insights on this matter?

Create code at runtime on iOS: possible any more?
I'm the developer of 8th (https://8th-dev.com), which compiles the program at run-time, on the device. There used to be an iOS version which worked, but it seems things have changed since then. I'm trying to distribute an iOS version of an app written in 8th, and am encountering "SIGKILL - CODESIGNING" when trying to execute freshly compiled code. I am doing the 'sys_icache_invalidate' thing after writing into a mmap'ed bit of memory (rwx). I'm not writing into memory that was codesigned, so I don't know why the error is that. Anyway, the question is: is it possible any more to do what I used to be able to do?

Decoding JSON with a reserved property name
I need to decode JSON into a class. The JSON has a field called "Type", and I cannot declare a property with that name in my class since Type is a reserved word. I tried declaring CodingKeys, but that doesn't work unless I declare EVERY property in the CodingKeys. This class has about a hundred properties and I have others like it, I do not want to do this. Is there a better solution?

Multiple async lets crash the app
Usage of multiple async lets crashes the app in a nondeterministic fashion. We are experiencing this crash in production, but it is rare. 0 libswift_Concurrency.dylib 0x20a8b89b4 swift_task_create_commonImpl(unsigned long, swift::TaskOptionRecord*, swift::TargetMetadata<swift::InProcess> const*, void (swift::AsyncContext* swift_async_context) swiftasynccall*, void*, unsigned long) + 384 1 libswift_Concurrency.dylib 0x20a8b6970 swift_asyncLet_begin + 36 We managed to isolate the issue, and we submitted a technical incident (Case-ID: 8007727). However, we were completely ignored, and referred to the developer forums. To reproduce the bug you need to run the code on a physical device and under instruments (we used swift concurrency). This bug is present on iOS 17 and 18, Xcode 15.1, 15.4 and 16 beta, swift 5 and 6, including strict concurrency. Here's the code for Swift 6 / Xcode 16 / strict concurrency: (I wanted to attach the project but for some reason I am unable to) typealias VoidHandler = () -> Void enum Fetching { case inProgress, idle } protocol PersonProviding: Sendable { func getPerson() async throws -> Person } actor PersonProvider: PersonProviding { func getPerson() async throws -> Person { async let first = getFirstName() async let last = getLastName() async let age = getAge() async let role = getRole() return try await Person(firstName: first, lastName: last, age: age, familyMemberRole: role) } private func getFirstName() async throws -> String { try await Task.sleep(nanoseconds: 1_000_000_000) return ["John", "Kate", "Alex"].randomElement()! } private func getLastName() async throws -> String { try await Task.sleep(nanoseconds: 1_400_000_000) return ["Kowalski", "McMurphy", "Grimm"].randomElement()! } private func getAge() async throws -> Int { try await Task.sleep(nanoseconds: 2_100_000_000) return [56, 24, 11].randomElement()! } private func getRole() async throws -> Person.Role { try await Task.sleep(nanoseconds: 500_000_000) return Person.Role.allCases.randomElement()! } } @MainActor final class ViewModel { private let provider: PersonProviding = PersonProvider() private var fetchingTask: Task<Void, Never>? let onFetchingChanged: (Fetching) -> Void let onPersonFetched: (Person) -> Void init(onFetchingChanged: @escaping (Fetching) -> Void, onPersonFetched: @escaping (Person) -> Void) { self.onFetchingChanged = onFetchingChanged self.onPersonFetched = onPersonFetched } func fetchData() { fetchingTask?.cancel() fetchingTask = Task { do { onFetchingChanged(.inProgress) let person = try await provider.getPerson() guard !Task.isCancelled else { return } onPersonFetched(person) onFetchingChanged(.idle) } catch { print(error) } } } } struct Person { enum Role: String, CaseIterable { case mum, dad, brother, sister } let firstName: String let lastName: String let age: Int let familyMemberRole: Role init(firstName: String, lastName: String, age: Int, familyMemberRole: Person.Role) { self.firstName = firstName self.lastName = lastName self.age = age self.familyMemberRole = familyMemberRole } } import UIKit class ViewController: UIViewController { @IBOutlet private var first: UILabel! @IBOutlet private var last: UILabel! @IBOutlet private var age: UILabel! @IBOutlet private var role: UILabel! @IBOutlet private var spinner: UIActivityIndicatorView! private lazy var viewModel = ViewModel(onFetchingChanged: { [weak self] state in switch state { case .idle: self?.spinner.stopAnimating() case .inProgress: self?.spinner.startAnimating() } }, onPersonFetched: { [weak self] person in guard let self else { return } first.text = person.firstName last.text = person.lastName age.text = "\(person.age)" role.text = person.familyMemberRole.rawValue }) @IBAction private func onTap() { viewModel.fetchData() } }

LOCALIZED_STRING_MACRO_NAMES for Swift package targets?
I have a custom localisation function in my project that enforces the inclusion of the bundle parameter (specifically so that Swift packages are forced to include the Bundle.module value). While migrating to String Catalogs, I noticed that my custom localisation function wasn't being recognised by the automatic extraction that the Swift compiler is doing, but only in my Swift package targets. Is there a way to set something like LOCALIZED_STRING_MACRO_NAMES in Swift Packages?
