Hey everyone, I’m learning async/await and trying to fetch an image from a URL off the main thread to avoid overloading it, while updating the UI afterward. Before starting the fetch, I want to show a loading indicator (UI-related work). I’ve implemented this in two different ways using Task and Task.detached, and I have some doubts: Is using Task { @MainActor the better approach? I added @MainActor because, after await, the resumed execution might not return to the Task's original actor. Is this the right way to ensure UI updates are done safely? Does calling fetchImage() on @MainActor force it to run entirely on the main thread? I used an async data fetch function (not explicitly marked with any actor). If I were to use a completion handler instead, would the function run on the main thread? Is using Task.detached overkill here? I tried Task.detached to ensure the fetch runs on a non-main actor. However, it seems to involve unnecessary actor hopping since I still need to hop back to the main actor for UI updates. Is there any scenario where Task.detached would be a better fit? class ViewController : UIViewController{ override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() //MARK: First approch Task{@MainActor in showLoading() let image = try? await fetchImage() //Will the image fetch happen on main thread? updateImageView(image:image) hideLoading() } //MARK: 2nd approch Task{@MainActor in showLoading() let detachedTask = Task.detached{ try await self.fetchImage() } updateImageView(image:try? await detachedTask.value) hideLoading() } } func fetchImage() async throws -> UIImage { let url = URL(string: "https://via.placeholder.com/600x400.png?text=Example+Image")! //Async data function call let (data, response) = try await URLSession.shared.data(from: url) guard let httpResponse = response as? HTTPURLResponse, httpResponse.statusCode == 200 else { throw URLError(.badServerResponse) } guard let image = UIImage(data: data) else { throw URLError(.cannotDecodeContentData) } return image } func showLoading(){ //Show Loader handling } func hideLoading(){ //Hides the loader } func updateImageView(image:UIImage?){ //Image view updated } }

I want to build a Swift library package that uses modified build of OpenSSL and Curl. I have already statically compiled both and verified I can use them in an Objective-C framework on my target platform (iOS & iOS Simulator). I'm using XCFramework files that contain the static library binaries and headers: openssl.xcframework/ ios-arm64/ openssl.framework/ Headers/ [...] openssl ios-arm64_x86_64-simulator/ openssl.framework/ Headers/ [...] openssl Info.plist I'm not sure how I'm supposed to set up my Swift package to import these libraries. I can use .systemLibrary but that seems to use the embedded copies of libssl and libcurl on my system, and I can't figure out how to use the path: parameter to that. I also tried using a .binaryTarget pointing to the XCFramework files, but that didn't seem to work as there is no module generated and I'm not sure how to make one myself. At a basic high level, this is what I'm trying to accomplish: where libcrypto & libssl come from the provided openssl.xcframework file, and libcurl from curl.xcframework

Hello dear community, I have the sample code from Apple “CapturingDepthUsingLiDAR” to access the LiDAR on my iPhone 12 Pro. My goal is to use the “photo output” function to generate a point cloud from a single image and then save it as a ply file. So far I have tested different approaches to create a .ply file from the depthmap, the intrinsic camera data and the rgba values. Unfortunately, I have had no success so far and the result has always been an incorrect point cloud. My question now is whether there are already approaches to this and whether anyone has any experience with it. Thank you very much in advance!!!

Hello Im having an error in swiftUI project of mine. I use fullscreencover to navigate through views. Normally it s been working but one point it doesn't. I go through MainMenu -> SomeOtherView -> GameView -> AfterGameView -> SomeOtherView -> MainMenu. When it comes to mainmenu at last, it s showing main menu for a glimpse of a look and then goes back to GameView. In console an error took my notice. > A new orientation transaction token is being requested while a valid one already exists. reason=Fullscreen transition (dismissing): fromVC=<_TtGC7SwiftUI29PresentationHostingControllerVS_7AnyView_: 0x10795ca00>; toVC=<_TtGC7SwiftUI29PresentationHostingControllerVS_7AnyView_: 0x1071c3400>;; windowOrientation=portrait; sceneOrientation=portrait; existingTransaction=<_UIForcedOrientationTransactionToken: 0x600001804a40; state: active; originalOrientation: portrait (1)> Cant really finding the solution. Need help asap I will release a bug update to Appstore.

I'm dealing with a strange bug where I am requesting read access for 'appleExerciseTime' and 'activitySummaryType', and despite enabling both in the permission sheet, they are being set to 'sharingDenied'. I'm writing a Swift Test for making sure permissions are being granted. @Test func PermissionsGranted() { try await self.manager.getPermissions() for type in await manager.allHealthTypes { let status = await manager.healthStore.authorizationStatus(for: type) #expect(status == .sharingAuthorized, "\(type) authorization status is \(status)") } } let healthTypesToShare: Set<HKSampleType> = [ HKQuantityType(.bodyMass), HKQuantityType(.bodyFatPercentage), HKQuantityType(.leanBodyMass), HKQuantityType(.activeEnergyBurned), HKQuantityType(.basalEnergyBurned), HKObjectType.workoutType() ] let allHealthTypes: Set<HKObjectType> = [ HKQuantityType(.bodyMass), HKQuantityType(.bodyFatPercentage), HKQuantityType(.leanBodyMass), HKQuantityType(.activeEnergyBurned), HKQuantityType(.basalEnergyBurned), HKQuantityType(.appleExerciseTime), HKObjectType.activitySummaryType() ] let healthStore = HKHealthStore() func getPermissions() async throws { try await healthStore.requestAuthorization(toShare: self.healthTypesToShare, read: self.allHealthTypes) } After 'getPermissions' runs, the permission sheet shows up on the Simulator, and I accept all. I've double checked that the failing permissions show up on the sheet and are enabled. Then the test fails with: Expectation failed: (status → HKAuthorizationStatus(rawValue: 1)) == (.sharingAuthorized → HKAuthorizationStatus(rawValue: 2)) HKActivitySummaryTypeIdentifier authorization status is HKAuthorizationStatus(rawValue: 1) Expectation failed: (status → HKAuthorizationStatus(rawValue: 1)) == (.sharingAuthorized → HKAuthorizationStatus(rawValue: 2)) HKActivitySummaryTypeIdentifier authorization status is HKAuthorizationStatus(rawValue: 1) With the rawValue of '1' being 'sharingDenied'. All other permissions are granted. Is there a workaround here, or something I'm potentially doing wrong?

Getting this error several times when presenting a modal window over my splitview window when running it on my Mac using Swift/Mac Catalyst in XCode 14.2. When I click the Cancel button in the window then I get Scene destruction request failed with error: (null) right after an unwind segue. 2023-07-04 16:50:45.488538-0500 Recipes[27836:1295134] [WindowHosting] UIScene property of UINSSceneViewController was accessed before it was set. 2023-07-04 16:50:45.488972-0500 Recipes[27836:1295134] [WindowHosting] UIScene property of UINSSceneViewController was accessed before it was set. 2023-07-04 16:50:45.496702-0500 Recipes[27836:1295134] [WindowHosting] UIScene property of UINSSceneViewController was accessed before it was set. 2023-07-04 16:50:45.496800-0500 Recipes[27836:1295134] [WindowHosting] UIScene property of UINSSceneViewController was accessed before it was set. 2023-07-04 16:50:45.994147-0500 Recipes[27836:1295134] Unbalanced calls to begin/end appearance transitions for <UINavigationController: 0x7f7fdf068a00>. bleep 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

Hi guys, I've been struggling for a few days with this really weird behaviour. We made an app for our e-commerce website and found out that a part of the product page is missing. For any reason, the header and first blocks of the page and footer are displayed, but then a massive part of the content is missing. This content is not loaded through ajax; that's why I don't understand why it's not displayed. You can see here 2 screenshots of what the page should look like and what the page looks like with WKWebView. I've been inspecting this with Safari; there isn't any blocking error in the console, and html elements are just empty. There is the div with class row and nothing in it. The same website is working perfectly with native Android Webview. If anyone has any clue to find out what's going wrong

Consider this Swift struct: public struct Example { public func foo(callback: ()->Void) { .... } public func blah(i: Int) { .... } .... } Using Swift/C++ interop, I can create Example objects and call methods like blah. But I can't call foo because Swift/C++ interop doesn't currently support passing closures (right?). On the other hand, Swift/objC does support passing objC blocks to Swift functions. But I can't use that here because Example is a Swift struct, not a class. So I could change it to a class, and update everything to work with reference rather than value semantics; but then I also have to change the objC++ code to create the object and call its methods using objC syntax. I'd like to avoid that. Is there some hack that I can use to make this possible? I'm hoping that I can wrap a C++ std::function in some sort of opaque wrapper and pass that to swift, or something. Thanks for any suggestions!

Hello, I have a problem with the .onMove function. I believe I have set everything up properly. However, the moving does not seem to be working correctly. When I try to move the item, it is highlighted first, as it is supposed to be. Then, while I am moving it through the list, it disappears for some reason, and at the end of the move, it comes back to its initial place. (I use iOS 16.0 minimum, so I don't have to include the EditButton(). It works the same in the edit mode tho) import SwiftUI struct Animal: Identifiable { var id = UUID() var name: String } struct ListMove: View { @State var animals = [Animal(name: "Dog"), Animal(name: "Cat"), Animal(name: "Cow"), Animal(name: "Goat"), Animal(name: "Chicken")] var body: some View { List { ForEach(animals) { animal in Text(animal.name) } .onMove(perform: move) } } func move(from source: IndexSet, to destination: Int) { animals.move(fromOffsets: source, toOffset: destination) } } #Preview { ListMove() }
