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?

I am encountering a strange issue. I have a class that manages a selection of generic items T in an Array. It's a work in progress, but I'l try to give a gist of the setup. class FileManagerItemModel: NSObject, Identifiable, Codable, NSCopying, Transferable, NSItemProviderReading, NSItemProviderWriting { var id: URL static func == (lhs: FileManagerItemModel, rhs: FileManagerItemModel) -> Bool { lhs.fileURL == rhs.fileURL } var fileURL: URL { FileManagerItemModel.normalizedFileURL(type: type, rootURL: rootURL, filePath: filePath) } init(type: FileManagerItemType, rootURL: URL, fileURL: URL) { self.type = type self.rootURL = rootURL self.filePath = FileManagerItemModel.filePathRelativeToRootURL(fileURL: fileURL, rootURL: rootURL) ?? "[unknown]" self.id = FileManagerItemModel.normalizedFileURL(type: type, rootURL: rootURL, filePath: filePath) } } The class that manages the selection of these FileManagerItemModels is like so: @Observable class MultiSelectDragDropCoordinator<T: Hashable>: ObservableObject, CustomDebugStringConvertible { private(set) var multiSelectedItems: [T] = [] func addToSelection(_ item: T) { if !multiSelectedItems.contains(where: { $0 == item }) { multiSelectedItems.append(item) } } ... } My issue is that the check if !multiSelectedItems.contains(where: { $0 == item }) in func addToSelection fails. The if is always executed, even if multiSelectedItems contains the given item. Now, my first thought would be to suspect the static func == check. But that check works fine and does what it should do. Equality is defined by the whole fileURL. So, the if should have worked. And If I put a breakpoint in func addToSelection on the if, and type po multiSelectedItems.contains(where: { $0 == item }) in the debug console, it actually returns true if the item is in multiSelectedItems. And it properly return false if the item is not in multiSelectedItems. Still, if I then continue stepping through the app after the breakpoint was hit and I confirmed that the contains should return true, the app still goes into the if, and adds a duplicate item. I tried assigning to a variable, I tried using a function and returning the true/false. Nothing helps. Does anyone have an idea on why the debugger shows one (the correct and expected) thing but the actual code still does something different?

The following code works when compiling for macOS: print(NSMutableDictionary().isEqual(to: NSMutableDictionary())) but produces a compiler error when compiling for iOS: 'NSMutableDictionary' is not convertible to '[AnyHashable : Any]' NSDictionary.isEqual(to:) has the same signature on macOS and iOS. Why does this happen? Can I use NSDictionary.isEqual(_:) instead?

Hi the below array and code to output a list item works fine: var quotes = [ [ "quote": "I live you the more ...", "order": "1" ], [ "quote": "There is nothing permanent ...", "order": "2" ], [ "quote": "You cannot shake hands ...", "order": "3" ], [ "quote": "Lord, make me an instrument...", "order": "4" ] ] cell.textLabel?.text = quotes[indexPath.row]["quote"] However if I change the "order" values to be numbers rather than text like below then for the above line I get an error message in Xcode "No exact matches in call to subscript". Please could someone tell me how to make it work with the numbers stored as numbers? (I'm wondering if creating an any array type and using the .text function has caused a conflict but I can't find how to resolve) [ "quote": "I live you the more ...", "order": 1 ], [ "quote": "There is nothing permanent ...", "order": 2 ], [ "quote": "You cannot shake hands ...", "order": 3 ], [ "quote": "Lord, make me an instrument...", "order": 4 ] ] Thank you for any pointers :-)

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, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 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

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

❌ Could not find email_ai.py in the app bundle. Available files: [] The error above is what I’m encountering. I’ve placed the referenced file both in the project directory and inside the app. However, every time I remove and reinsert the file into the folder within the app, it prompts me to designate the targets—I select all, but this doesn’t resolve the issue. I’m unsure how to properly reference the file so that it is recognised and included in the bundle. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. this is my build phase: #!/bin/sh set -x # Prints each command before running it (for debugging) pwd # Shows the current working directory echo "$SRCROOT" # Shows what Xcode thinks is the project root ls -l "$SRCROOT/EmailAssistant/EmailAssistant/PythonScripts" # Lists files in the script folder export PYTHONPATH="/Users/caesar/.pyenv/versions/3.11.6/bin" /Users/caesar/.pyenv/versions/3.11.6/bin/python3 "$SRCROOT/EmailAssistant/EmailAssistant/PythonScripts/email_ai.py" echo "Script completed."

After ther Mac application is launched: Log error: CGSWindowShmemCreateWithPort failed on port 0 and when the application quit: No error handler for XPC error: Connection invalid Appear with Xcode 15.4 but not with 12.4 As repported by Steve4442 in "Can someone explain this message" https://Forums.Developer.Apple.com/Forums/Thread/727803 . The code don't use "windowNumbersWithOptions" Can I ignore this log message ?

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.

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?

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?

Hello, I have a test variable here which works fine: var quotes: [(quote: String, order: Int)] = [ ("I live you the more ...", 1), ("There is nothing permanent ...", 2), ("You cannot shake hands ...", 3), ("Lord, make me an instrument...", 4) ] and I have a test function which successfully pulls data from a mysql database via a web service and displays it via the "print" function: func getPrice(){ if let url = URL(string:"https://www.TEST.com/test_connection.php"){ URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url) { (data, response, error) in if let data = data{ if let json = try? JSONDecoder().decode([[String:String]].self, from: data){ json.forEach { row in print(row["quote"]!) print(row["order"]!) } } else{ } } else{ print("wrong :-(") } }.resume() } } Please can you tell me how to re-write the quotes variable/array so that it returns the results that are found in the getPrice() function?

My company wants to be insure that if my Objective-C to Swift conversions fail in anyway, that the app can revert to using the older Objective-C code. By using a remotely controllable flag, the app can switch which code runs as, both are compiled into the app. Essentially, I create a protocol that describes the original class, then both classes (with a "s" or "o" appended to them) conform to the protocol. Protocol: Object Objective-C class: oObject Swift class: sObject That said, I hit one issue that I just can't seem reason out. I create a Objective-C function that returns the appropriate class: Class<Object> classObject(void) { if (myFlag) { return [sObject class]; } else { return [oObject class]; } } Swift deals with this really well - I can create an initialized object using: let object = classObject().init() but I cannot find a way to do this in Objective-C: Object *object = [[classSalesForceData() alloc] init]; fails with "No known class method for selector 'alloc'" Is there a way to do this? David PS: my workaround is to return an allocated object: Object *createObject(void) { if (myFlag) { return [sObject alloc]; } else { return [oObject alloc]; } }

Considering below dummy codes: @MainActor var globalNumber = 0 @MainActor func increase(_ number: inout Int) async { // some async code excluded number += 1 } class Dummy: @unchecked Sendable { @MainActor var number: Int { get { globalNumber } set { globalNumber = newValue } } @MainActor func change() async { await increase(&number) //Actor-isolated property 'number' cannot be passed 'inout' to 'async' function call } } I'm not really trying to make an increasing function like that, this is just an example to make everything happen. As for why number is a computed property, this is to trigger the actor-isolated condition (otherwise, if the property is stored and is a value type, this condition will not be triggered). Under these conditions, in function change(), I got the error: Actor-isolated property 'number' cannot be passed 'inout' to 'async' function call. My question is: Why Actor-isolated property cannot be passed 'inout' to 'async' function call? What is the purpose of this design? If this were allowed, what problems might it cause?

Hello, Please can you tell me how to create an array of dictionaries? This code below should create 4 dictionaries in an array, but I'm getting these errors: For line "var output = [id: "testID", name: "testName"]": cannot find 'name' in scope Type '(any AnyObject).Type' cannot conform to 'Hashable' For line "return output": Type '(any AnyObject).Type' cannot conform to 'Hashable' var quotes: [(id: String, name: String)] { var output = [[(id: String, name: String)]] () for i in 1...4 { var output = [id: "testID", name: "testName"] } return output }

Hello, This test code for creating an array using a loop works: var quotes: [(id: String, name: String)] { var output: [(id: String, name: String)] = [] for i in 1...numberOfRows { let item: (id: String, name: String) = ("\(i)", "Name \(i)") output.append(item) } return output } But if I try to apply this logic to retrieving data from a web service using the below code I am getting 2 errors: For the line “quotes.append(item)” I am getting the error message “Cannot use mutating member on immutable value: ‘quotes’ is a get-only property." For the line “return output” I am getting the error message “Cannot find ‘output’ in scope." if let url = URL(string:"https://www.TEST.com/test_connection.php"){ URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url) { (data, response, error) in if let data = data{ if let json = try? JSONDecoder().decode([[String:String]].self, from: data){ json.forEach { row in var item: (id: String, name: String) = ("test id value", "test name value") quotes.append(item) } return output } } } }

Hi Everyone, I was able to create the String Catalog with all my strings getting automatic into the stringCatalog except the strings from my models where is not swiftUI and where all I have a class with a lot of info for my app. Some classes are short and I was able to just make the strings localizable by adding on every line: (String(localized: "Telefone")) But I have one class which has Line: 1071 and Col: 1610 and every line I have 7 strings that needs to get localized. These 7 strings are repeated on every line. So I was trying to create a localization for these 7 strings on this class without having to write (String(localized: "Telefone")) 7 times on every line. is there a way? Here is short version of my class: import Foundation class LensStructFilter: Identifiable { var description: String init(description: String) { self.description = description } } let lensEntriesFilter: [LensStructFilter] = [ LensStructFilter(description: "Focal: 24mm \nAbertura Máxima: F2.8 \nCobertura: FULL FRAME \nBocal: Nikon F \nFoco Mínimo: 0,30m \nDiâmetro Frontal: 52mm \nPeso: 275g \n\nFocal: 35mm \nAbertura Máxima: F2.0 \nCobertura: FULL FRAME \nBocal: Nikon F \nFoco Mínimo: 0,25m \nDiâmetro Frontal: 52mm \nPeso: 205g \n\nFocal: 50mm \nAbertura Máxima: F1.8 \nCobertura: FULL FRAME \nBocal: Nikon F \nFoco Mínimo: 0,45m \nDiâmetro Frontal: 52mm \nPeso: 185g \n\nFocal: 85mm \nAbertura Máxima: F1.8 \nCobertura: FULL FRAME \nBocal: Nikon F \nFoco Mínimo: 0,80m \nDiâmetro Frontal: 67mm \nPeso: 350g \n\nFocal: 105mm MACRO \nAbertura Máxima: F2.8 \nCobertura: FULL FRAME \nBocal: Nikon F \nFoco Mínimo: 0,31m \nDiâmetro Frontal: 62mm \nPeso: 720g"), LensStructFilter(description: "Focal: 16-35mm  \nAbertura Máxima: F2.8 \nCobertura: FULL FRAME  \nBocal: EF \nFoco Mínimo: 0,28m \nDiâmetro Frontal (rosca): 82mm \nPeso: 790Kg"), Thanks

Hi, I am exploring Closures and trying to understand how they works. Closure have a special key feature that they can capture the context of the variables/constants from surroundings, once captured we can still use them inside the closure even if the scope in which they are defined does not exist. I want to understand the lifecycle of captured variable/constant i.e., where are these captured variables stored and when these get created and destroyed. How is memory managed for captured variables or constants in a closure, depending on whether they are value types or reference types?

I'm using Network Framework to transfer files between 2 devices. The "secondary" device sends file requests to the "primary" device, and the primary sends the files back. When the primary gets the request, it responds like this: do { let data = try Data(contentsOf: filePath) let priSecDataFilePacket = PriSecDataFilePacket(fileName: filename, dataBlob: data) let jsonData = try JSONEncoder().encode(priSecDataFilePacket) let message = NWProtocolFramer.Message(priSecMessageType: PriSecMessageType.priToSecDataFile) let context = NWConnection.ContentContext(identifier: "TransferUtility", metadata: [message]) connection.send(content: encodedJsonToSend, contentContext: context, isComplete: true, completion: .idempotent) } catch { print("\(error)") } It works great, even for hundreds of file requests. The problem arises if some files being requested are extremely large, like 600MB. You can see the memory speedometer on the primary quickly ramp up to the yellow zone, at which point iOS kills the app for high memory use, and you see the Jetsam log. I changed the code to skip JSON encoding the binary file as a test, and that helped a bit, but it still goes too high; the real offender is the step where it loads the 600MB file into the data var: let data = try Data(contentsOf: filePath) If I remark out everything else and just leave that one line, I can still see the memory use spike. As a fix, I'm rewriting this so the secondary requests the file in 5MB chunks by telling the primary a byte range such as "0-5242880" or "5242881-10485760", and then reassembling the chunks on the secondary once they all come in. So far this seems promising, but it's a fair amount of work. My question: Does Network Framework have a built-in way to stream those bytes straight from disk as it sends them? So that I could send all the data in one single request without having to load the bytes into memory?
