Hello, I am getting an error message "Cannot convert value of type 'URLSessionDataTask' to expected argument type 'Data'" for the last line of this code. Please can you tell me what the problem is? Thank you struct Item : Codable { var id: String var name: String var country: String var type: String var overallrecsit: String var dlastupd: String var doverallrecsit: String } let url = URL(string:"https://www.TEST_URL.com/api_ios.php") let json = try?

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..

In scope of one of our project we've faced an issue with constant crashes when integrating C++ library in Swift code using Swift/C++ interoperability. Investigating the root causes of the issue we've discovered that with new version of Swift bug was introduced. Long story short: for strings bigger than 27 symbols memory is feed incorrectly that causes the crashes. By creating this post I wanted to draw community's attention to the problem and promote it to be solved quicker as for now it is not addressed.

A few questions. One, can I safely upgrade to my project to Swift 6.2 without having to require iOS 26+? Two, where do I actually make the upgrade. This is what I see in build settings: 6.2 is not available in the dropdown?

I am writing a SPM based project for MacOS. In this project? I need to access MacOS Keychain. I am write a swift test built by SPM testTarget(). I can see it generates a bundle ./.build/x86_64-apple-macosx/debug/MyProjectTests.xctest with an executable: % file ./.build/x86_64-apple-macosx/debug/MyProjectPackageTests.xctest/Contents/MacOS/MyProjectPackageTests ./.build/x86_64-apple-macosx/debug/MyProjectPackageTests.xctest/Contents/MacOS/MyProjectPackageTests: Mach-O 64-bit bundle x86_64 This bundle file cannot be executed. How can I execute its tests? I tried with xcodebuild test-without-building -xctestrun ./.build/x86_64-apple-macosx/debug/MyProjectPackageTests.xctest -destination 'platform=macOS' without any chance. Obviously the next question is can I 'simply' add entitlement to this bundle with codesign to fix my enttilement error. My error when running the test is A required entitlement isn't present.

I just added a .systemLarge widget to my app, but I can't get Links to work. I want the user to be able to tap one of the four rows in my widget - like the EmojiRangers example - but I can't get it to work. I watched a Developer video from WWDC20: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2020/10036?time=223 The guy, Izzy, 'simply' embeds an HStack in a Link, and hey presto! It all works. But that doesn't happen for me. There's clearly some code in the background that runs. I already have .widgetURL working for .systemSmall and .systemMedium widgets, and I don't need to use Links on those two types. Those work by sending a URL to .onOpenURL { incomingURL in ... All good there, no issues. I've wrapped each row in the large widget in a Link with the URL of something like myappurlscheme://widgetTapped/widgetId (it's the same url as that used in the small and medium widgets). I build & run. I tap a row. It doesn't act as though a row is tappable (it doesn't go slightly transparent), and just opens the app without hitting .onOpenURL or anything else. Nothing in my scene delegate is triggered. Is there a specific delegate method that gets called? Do I need to set up some awful intents? I'm not using any sort of NavigationStack here; that model doesn't fit my app. Any ideas? Thanks.

I've created a Julia interface for Apple Accelerate's libSparse, via calling the library functions as if they were C (@ccall). I'm interested in using this in the context of power systems, where the sparse matrix is the Jacobian or the ABA matrix from a sparse grid network. However, I'm puzzled by the performance. I ran a sampling profiler on repeated in-place solves of Ax = b for a large sparse matrix A and random dense vectors b. (A is size 30k, positive definite so Cholesky factorization.) The 2 functions with the largest impact are _SparseConvertFromCoordinate_Double from libSparse.dylib, and BLASStateRelease from libBLAS.dylib. That strikes me as bizarre. This is an in-place solve: there should be minimal overheard from allocating/deallocating memory. Also, it seems strange that the library would repeatedly convert from coordinate form. Is this expected behavior? Thinking it might be an artifact of the Julia-C interface, I wrote up a similar program in C/Objective-C. I didn't profile it, but timing the same operation (repeated in-place solves of Ax = b for random vectors b, with the same matrix A as in the Julia) gave the same duration. I've attached the C/Objective-C below.profiling-comparison.m.txt If you're familiar with Julia, the following will give you the matrix I was working with: using PowerSystems, PowerNetworkMatrices sys = System("pglib_opf_case30000_goc.m") A = PowerNetworkMatrices.ABA_Matrix(sys).data where you can find the .m file here. (As a crude way to transfer A from Julia to C, I wrote the 3 arrays A.nzval, A.colptr, and A.rowval to .txt files as space-separated lists of numbers: the above C/objective-C reads in those files.) To duplicate my Julia profiling, do pkg> add AppleAccelerate#libSparse Profile--note the #libSparse part, these features aren't on the main branch--then run using AppleAccelerate, Profile # run previous code snippet to define A M, N = 10000, size(A)[1] bs = [rand(N) for _ in 1:M] aa_fact = AAFactorization(A) factor!(aa_fact) solve!(aa_fact, bs[1]) # pre-compile before we profile. Profile.init(n = 10^6, delay = 0.0003) @profile (for i in 1:M; solve!(aa_fact, bs[i]); end;) Profile.print(C = true, format = :flat, sortedby = :count)

I came across One Sided Range Example: [...2] [2...] [..<2] Half Open Range [..<2] Can not the last use case be separated [..<2] of One Sided Range for Brevity as it is already included in Half Open Range?

So any time I create a class that's both @Observable and Codable, e.g. @Observable class GameLocationManager : Codable { I get a warning in the macro expansion code: @ObservationIgnored private let _$observationRegistrar = Observation.ObservationRegistrar() Immutable property will not be decoded because it is declared with an initial value which cannot be overwritten. I've been ignoring them for now, but there are at least a half a dozen of them now in my (relatively small) codebase, and I'd like to find a solution (ideally one that doesn't require me to write init(decoder:) for every @Observable class in my project...), especially since I'm not sure what the actual consequences of ignoring this might be.

No real intruduction for this, so I'll get to the point: All this code is on GitHub: https://github.com/the-trumpeter/Timetaber-for-iWatch But first, sorry; /* I got roasted, last time I posted; for not defining my stuff. This'll be different, but's gonna be rough; 'cuz there's lots and lots to get through: */ //this is 'Timetaber Watch App/Define (No expressions)/Courses_vDef.swift' on the GitHub: struct Course { let name: String let icon: String let room: String let colour: String let listName: String let listIcon: String let joke: String init(name: String, icon: String, room: String? = nil, colour: String, listName: String? = nil, listIcon: String? = nil, joke: String? = nil) { self.name = name self.icon = icon self.room = room ??

Hello I was wondering if there is a way to ensure that a C program I am writing can only write to 1 virtual page. I am trying to test how space efficient different Mallocs are and I need a way to ensure that the OS will not try to swap out pages making the space efficiency test pointless. I am on Mac OS Sonoma v14.5.

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

Does anyone know if there will be a Swift 6 version of "The Swift Programming Language" book and if so, when it will be released for Apple Books?

Greetings! I am actively working on porting x64 code to Apple Silicon now that the time is nigh and part of the fundamentals of our software is a coroutine library for handling cooperative multitasking of GUI operations on the main thread. I was hoping to get the locations of the stack pointer and frame pointer in jmp_buf so, after setjmp() can redirect them to the primary handling routines in our coroutine library that handles the cooperative scheduling (which replaced and ported the old classic MP routines) which worked for PowerPC, i386 and x64. Any thoughts on where in the jmp_buf these might be located? I didn't see anything in the XNU open source. Any advice would be much obliged instead of having to dive in and re-implement these routines in assembly myself!

Why Ternary operator in not called a binary Operator or ternary Operands ? question ? answer1 : answer2 When it takes 2 operators ?

When swizzling NSURLRequest initialiser and returning a mutable copy, the original instance does not get deallocated and eventually gets leaked and a crash follows after that. Here's the swizzling setup: static func swizzleInit() { let initSel = NSSelectorFromString("initWithURL:cachePolicy:timeoutInterval:") guard let initMethod = class_getInstanceMethod(NSClassFromString("NSURLRequest"), initSel) else { return } let origInitImp = method_getImplementation(initMethod) let block: @convention(block) (AnyObject, Any, NSURLRequest.CachePolicy, TimeInterval) -> NSURLRequest = { _self, url, policy, interval in typealias OrigInit = @convention(c) (AnyObject, Selector, Any, NSURLRequest.CachePolicy, TimeInterval) -> NSURLRequest let origFunc = unsafeBitCast(origInitImp, to: OrigInit.self) let request = origFunc(_self, initSel, url, policy, interval) return request.tagged() } let newImplementation = imp_implementationWithBlock(block as Any) method_setImplementation(initMethod, newImplementation) } // create a mutable copy if needed and add a header private func tagged() -> NSURLRequest { guard let mutableRequest = self as? NSMutableURLRequest ?? self.mutableCopy() as? NSMutableURLRequest else { return self } mutableRequest.setValue("test", forHTTPHeaderField: "test") return mutableRequest } Then, we have a few test cases: // memory leak and crash func testSwizzleNSURLRequestInit() { let request = NSURLRequest(url: URL(string: "https://example.com")!) XCTAssertEqual(request.value(forHTTPHeaderField: "test"), "test") } // no crash, as the request is mutable, so no copy is created func testSwizzleNSURLRequestInit2() { let request = URLRequest(url: URL(string: "https://example.com")!) XCTAssertEqual(request.value(forHTTPHeaderField: "test"), "test") } // no crash, as the request is mutable, so no copy is created func testSwizzleNSURLRequestInit3() { let request = NSMutableURLRequest(url: URL(string: "https://example.com")!) XCTAssertEqual(request.value(forHTTPHeaderField: "test"), "test") } // no crash, as the new instance does not get deallocated // when the test method completes (?) var request: NSURLRequest? func testSwizzleNSURLRequestInit4() { request = NSURLRequest(url: URL(string: "https://example.com")!) XCTAssertEqual(request?.value(forHTTPHeaderField: "test"), "test") } It appears a memory leak occurs only when any other instance except for the original one is being returned from the initialiser. Is there a workaround to prevent the leak, while allowing for modifications of all requests?

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'm continuing with the migration towards Swift 6. Within one of our libraries, I want to check whether a parameter object: Any? confirms to Sendable. I tried the most obvious one: if let sendable = object as? Sendable { } But that results into the compiler error "Marker protocol 'Sendable' cannot be used in a conditional cast". Is there an other way to do this?

In below Swift code , is there any possiblities of failure of Unmanaged.passRetain and Unmanaged.takeRetain calls ? // can below call fail (constructor returns nil due to OS or language error) and do i need to do explicit error handling here? let str = TWSwiftString(pnew) // Increasing RC by 1 // can below call fail (assuming str is valid) and do i need to do explicit error handling for the same ? let ptr:UnsafeMutableRawPointer? = Unmanaged.passRetained(str).toOpaque() // decrease RC by 1 // can below call fail (assuming ptr is valid) ? and do i need to do explicit error handling Unmanaged<TWSwiftString>.fromOpaque(pStringptr).release()

On iOS 18 some string functions return incorrect values in some cases. Found problems on replacingOccurrences() and split() functions, but there may be others. In the results of these functions in some cases a character is left in the result string when it shouldn't. This did not happen on iOS17 and older versions. I created a very simple Test Project to reproduce the problem. If I run these tests on iOS17 or older the tests succeed. If I run these tests on iOS18 the tests fail. test_TestStr1() function shows a problem in replacingOccurrences() directly using strings. test_TestStr2() function shows a problem in split() that seems to happen only when bridging from NSString to String. import XCTest final class TestStrings18Tests: XCTestCase { override func setUpWithError() throws { // Put setup code here. This method is called before the invocation of each test method in the class. } override func tearDownWithError() throws { // Put teardown code here. This method is called after the invocation of each test method in the class. } func test_TestStr1() { let str1 = "_%\u{7}1\u{7}_"; let str2 = "%\u{7}1\u{7}"; let str3 = "X"; let str4 = str1.replacingOccurrences(of: str2, with: str3); //This should be true XCTAssertTrue(str4 == "_X_"); } func test_TestStr2() { let s1 = "TVAR(6)\u{11}201\"Ã\"\u{11}201\"A\""; let s2 = s1.components(separatedBy: "\u{11}201"); let t1 = NSString("TVAR(6)\u{11}201\"Ã\"\u{11}201\"A\"") as String; let t2 = t1.components(separatedBy: "\u{11}201"); XCTAssertTrue(s2.count == t2.count); let c = s2.count //This should be True XCTAssertTrue(s2[0] == t2[0]); } }
