Hello together,
since Xcode Version > 15 the following error handling causes following error "Pattern of type 'DecodingError' cannot match 'Never'
func getSupportedCountries() async {
// fetch all documents from collection "seasons" from firestore
let queryCountries = try? await db.collection("countries").getDocuments()
if queryCountries != nil {
self.countries = (queryCountries!.documents.compactMap({ (queryDocumentSnapshot) -> Country? in
let result = Result { try? queryDocumentSnapshot.data(as: Country.self) }
switch result {
case .success(let country):
if let country = country {
// A country value was successfully initialized from the DocumentSnapshot
self.errorMessage = nil
return country
}
else {
// A nil value was successfully initialized from the DocumentSnapshot,
// or the DocumentSnapshot was nil
self.errorMessage = "Document doesn't exist."
return nil
}
case .failure(let error):
// A Country value could not be initialized from the DocumentSnapshot
switch error {
case DecodingError.typeMismatch(_, let context):
self.errorMessage = "\(error.localizedDescription): \(context.debugDescription)"
case DecodingError.valueNotFound(_, let context):
self.errorMessage = "\(error.localizedDescription): \(context.debugDescription)"
case DecodingError.keyNotFound(_, let context):
self.errorMessage = "\(error.localizedDescription): \(context.debugDescription)"
case DecodingError.dataCorrupted(let key):
self.errorMessage = "\(error.localizedDescription): \(key)"
default:
self.errorMessage = "Error decoding document: \(error.localizedDescription)"
}
return nil
}
}))
} else {
self.errorMessage = "No documents in 'countries' collection"
return
}
}
the interesting part of the code where XCODE shows an error is from "switch error" downwards.
Does anyone of you have an idea what's wrong?
Ay help appreciated !
Thx, Peter

How can I calculate polynomial coefficients for Tone Curve points:
// • Red channel: (0, 0), (60, 39), (128, 128), (255, 255)
// • Green channel: (0, 0), (63, 50), (128, 128), (255, 255)
// • Blue channel: (0, 0), (60, 47), (119, 119), (255, 255)
CIFilter:
func colorCrossPolynomial(inputImage: CIImage) -> CIImage? {
let colorCrossPolynomial = CIFilter.colorCrossPolynomial()
let redfloatArr: [CGFloat] = [1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
let greenfloatArr: [CGFloat] = [0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1]
let bluefloatArr: [CGFloat] = [0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0]
colorCrossPolynomial.inputImage = inputImage
colorCrossPolynomial.blueCoefficients = CIVector(values: bluefloatArr, count: bluefloatArr.count)
colorCrossPolynomial.redCoefficients = CIVector(values: redfloatArr, count: redfloatArr.count)
colorCrossPolynomial.greenCoefficients = CIVector(values: greenfloatArr, count: greenfloatArr.count)
return colorCrossPolynomial.outputImage
}
I'm trying to fix some Swift6 warnings, this one seems too strict, I'm not sure how to fix it. The variable path is a String, which should be immutable, it's a local variable and never used again inside of the function, but still Swift6 complains about it being a race condition, passing it to the task
What should I do here to fix the warning?
Hello, I have an issue with importing some .mp3 files into a swift playground project (in Xcode, not in the Playground app). They worked fine in the Xcode project, but for some reason playgrounds isn't able to find them. I imported them the exact same way as I did in the Xcode project.
decidePolicyFor delegate method:
import WebKit
@objc extension DocumentationVC
{
func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, decidePolicyFor navigationAction: WKNavigationAction, decisionHandler: @escaping (WKNavigationActionPolicy) -> Void)
Being called just alright in swift 5 minimal concurrency.
Raising concurrency to complete with swift 5 or swift 6. Changing the code to avoid warnings:
@preconcurrency import WebKit
@objc extension DocumentationVC
{
func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, decidePolicyFor navigationAction: WKNavigationAction, decisionHandler: @escaping (WKNavigationActionPolicy) -> Void) {
The delegate method is not being called. Changing back to swift 5 concurrency minimal - it is called.
Looking at WKNavigationDelegate:
WK_SWIFT_UI_ACTOR
@protocol WKNavigationDelegate <NSObject>
- (void)webView:(WKWebView *)webView decidePolicyForNavigationAction:(WKNavigationAction *)navigationAction decisionHandler:(WK_SWIFT_UI_ACTOR void (^)(WKNavigationActionPolicy))decisionHandler WK_SWIFT_ASYNC(3);
Changing the delegate method to:
func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, decidePolicyFor navigationAction: WKNavigationAction, decisionHandler: @escaping @MainActor (WKNavigationActionPolicy) -> Void) {
And it is called across swift 5 concurrency minimal to complete to swift 6.
I thought, the meaning of @preconcurrency import WebKit was to keep the delegate without @MainActor before the (WKNavigationActionPolicy) still matching regardless the swift concurrency mode?
My point is - this can introduce hidden breaking changes? I didn't see this documented anyhow at: https://www.swift.org/migration/documentation/migrationguide/.
decidePolicyFor is an optional method - so if signature 'mismatches' - there will be no warning on not-implementing the delegate method.
How do we catch or diagnose irregularities like this? Is it something @preconcurrency import WebKit should be ensuring and it is not?
Is this delegate mismatch a bug on swift side or something we should be taking care of while migrating? If it is on us, how do we diagnose these potential mismatches?
❌ 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."
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?
I ran into a problem, I have a recursive function in which Data type objects are temporarily created, because of this, the memory expands until the entire recursion ends. It would just be fixed using autoreleasepool, but it can't be used with async await, and I really don't want to rewrite the code for callbacks. Is there any option to use autoreleasepool with async await functions? (I Googled one option, that the Task already contains its own autoreleasepool, and if you do something like that, it should work, but it doesn't, the memory is still growing)
func autoreleasepool<Result>(_ perform: @escaping () async throws -> Result) async throws -> Result {
try await Task {
try await perform()
}.value
}
Issue:
During app execution, the intended method is not being called; instead, the method preceding (written above the intended method) is being executed.
For Example:
//In my case the ViewController class is at 3rd level of inheritance.
class ViewController: UIViewController {
func methodA() {
print("methodA")
}
func methodB() {
print("methodB")
}
}
let vc = ViewController()
vc.methodB()
Output: //"methodA"
Expected: //"methodB"
Observations:
Recent code changes have revealed that enabling the below Swift-6 flag leads to this linking issue. When this flag is commented out, the problem disappears.
.enableUpcomingFeature("InternalImportsByDefault")
Additionally, moving the intended method into an extension of the same class resolves the issue when the flag is enabled.
Conclusion:
To resolve the issue:
Comment out the Swift-6 flag.
Alternatively, move the method into an extension of the same class, which addresses the issue for this specific case.
I had similar issue in other class where it crashes with message "method not found", but actually the method is there. When moving the method into an extension of same class resolve this issue.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanking you..
I can't find a viable path to call StoreKit from C++ right now and would love some ideas.
I'm implementing the code exactly as shown at 4:09 in
https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2023/10172/
However when I add any StoreKit functionality in I immediately get
"Actor isolated structure cannot be exposed in C++"
This makes me think I can't create a StoreKit view and call it from C++? Am I missing a better way? I don't think I can have another structure that holds the storeChooser in it because it will have the same problem (I assume, although I will check). Part of the issue seems to be that my app is C++ so there is no main function called in the swift for me to open this view with either, I was going to use the present function Zoe described (as below).
I've tried a lot of alternative approaches but it seems to be blocking async functions from showing in C++ as well. So I'm not sure how to access the basic product(for:) and purchase(product) functions.
import Foundation
import StoreKit
import SwiftUI
public struct storeChooser: View {
public var productIDs: [String]
public var fetchError: String
//@State //Note this is from the UI
@State public var products: [Product] = []
// @State private var isPresented = true
// weak private var host: UIViewController? = nil
public init() {
productIDs = ["20_super_crystals_v1"]
products = []
self.fetchError = "untried"
}
public var body: some View {
VStack(spacing: 20) {
Text( "Products")
ForEach(self.products) { product in
Button {
//dont do anything yet
} label: {
Text("\(product.displayPrice) - \(product.displayName)")
}
}
}.task {
do {
try await self.loadProducts()
} catch {
print(error)
}
}
}
public func queryProducts() {
Task {
do {
try await self.loadProducts()
} catch {
print(error)
}
}
}
public func getProduct1Name() -> String {
if self.products.count > 0 {
return self.products[0].displayName
} else {
return "empty"
}
}
private func loadProducts() async throws {
self.products = try await Product.products(for: self.productIDs)
}
/* public mutating func present(_ viewController: UIViewController) {
isPresented = true;
let host = UIHostingController(rootView: self)
host.rootView.host = host
viewController.present(host, animated: true)
} */

I'm encountering an issue where certain images are not displaying on some iOS devices, while the same code works perfectly on others. There’s no error or crash — just some images fail to load or display. I've confirmed the image URLs and formats are correct.
Has anyone faced a similar issue or could suggest what might be causing this inconsistent behavior?
Thanks in advance!

This is from an extension

The delegate is already a UITextFieldDelegate, but when you click on the error, it returns 7 instances of:

This doesn't give an error in Xcode 16. Is this an Xcode 26 bug?
My framework has private Objective-C API that is only used within the framework. It should not be exposed in the public interface (so it shouldn't be imported in the umbrella header).
To expose this API to Swift that's within the framework only the documentation seems to indicate that this needs to be imported in the umbrella header?
Import Code Within a Framework Target
To use the Objective-C declarations in files in the same framework target as your Swift code, configure an umbrella header as follows:
1.Under Build Settings, in Packaging, make sure the Defines Module setting for the framework target is set to Yes.
2.In the umbrella header, import every Objective-C header you want to expose to Swift.
Swift sees every header you expose publicly in your umbrella header. The contents of the Objective-C files in that framework are automatically available from any Swift file within that framework target, with no import statements. Use classes and other declarations from your Objective-C code with the same Swift syntax you use for system classes.
I would imagine that there must be a way to do this?

Swift concurrency is an important part of my day-to-day job. I created the following document for an internal presentation, and I figured that it might be helpful for others.
If you have questions or comments, put them in a new thread here on DevForums. Use the App & System Services > Processes & Concurrency topic area and tag it with both Swift and Concurrency.
Share and Enjoy

link: SE-0420, commentary
introduces: #isolation, optional isolated parameters
notes: This is what makes it possible to iterate over an async stream in an isolated async function.
SE-0421 Generalize effect polymorphism for AsyncSequence and AsyncIteratorProtocol
link: SE-0421, commentary
notes: Previously AsyncSequence used an experimental mechanism to support throwing and non-throwing sequences. This moves it off that. Instead, it uses an extra Failure generic parameter and typed throws to achieve the same result. This allows it to finally support a primary associated type. Yay!
SE-0423 Dynamic actor isolation enforcement from non-strict-concurrency contexts
link: SE-0423, commentary
introduces: @preconcurrency conformance

availability: upcoming feature flag: GlobalActorIsolatedTypesUsability
notes: This loosen strict concurrency checking in a number of subtle ways.
Swift 6.1
Swift 6.1 has the following additions.
Vision: Improving the approachability of data-race safety
link: vision
SE-0442 Allow TaskGroup’s ChildTaskResult Type To Be Inferred
link: SE-0442, commentary
notes: This represents a small quality of life improvement for withTaskGroup(…) and withThrowingTaskGroup(…).
SE-0449 Allow nonisolated to prevent global actor inference
link: SE-0449, commentary
notes: This is a straightforward extension to the number of places you can apply nonisolated.
Swift 6.2
Xcode 26 beta has two new build settings:
Approachable Concurrency enables the following feature flags: DisableOutwardActorInference, GlobalActorIsolatedTypesUsability, InferIsolatedConformances, InferSendableFromCaptures, and NonisolatedNonsendingByDefault.
Default Actor Isolation controls SE-0466
Swift 6.2, still in beta, has the following additions.
SE-0371 Isolated synchronous deinit
link: SE-0371, commentary
introduces: isolated deinit
notes: Allows a deinitialiser to access non-sendable isolated state, lifting a restriction imposed by SE-0327.
SE-0457 Expose attosecond representation of Duration
link: SE-0457
introduces: attoseconds, init(attoseconds:)
SE-0461 Run nonisolated async functions on the caller’s actor by default
link: SE-0461
availability: upcoming feature flag: NonisolatedNonsendingByDefault
introduces: nonisolated(nonsending), @concurrent
notes: This represents a significant change to how Swift handles actor isolation by default, and introduces syntax to override that default.
SE-0462 Task Priority Escalation APIs
link: SE-0462
introduces: withTaskPriorityEscalationHandler(…)
notes: Code that uses structured concurrency benefits from priority boosts automatically. This proposal exposes APIs so that code using unstructured concurrency can do the same.
SE-0463 Import Objective-C completion handler parameters as @Sendable
link: SE-0463
notes: This is a welcome resolution to a source of much confusion.
SE-0466 Control default actor isolation inference
link: SE-0466, commentary
availability: not officially approved, but a de facto part of Swift 6.2
introduces: -default-isolation compiler flag
notes: This is a major component of the above-mentioned vision document.
SE-0468 Hashable conformance for Async(Throwing)Stream.Continuation
link: SE-0468
notes: This is an obvious benefit when you’re juggling a bunch of different async streams.
SE-0469 Task Naming

introduces: name, init(name:…)
SE-0470 Global-actor isolated conformances
link: SE-0470
availability: upcoming feature flag: InferIsolatedConformances

notes: This is particularly useful when you want to conform an @MainActor type to Equatable, Hashable, and so on.
SE-0471 Improved Custom SerialExecutor isolation checking for Concurrency Runtime
link: SE-0471
notes: This is a welcome extension to SE-0424.
SE-0472 Starting tasks synchronously from caller context
link: SE-0472
introduces: immediate[Detached](…), addImmediateTask[UnlessCancelled](…),
notes: This introduces the concept of an immediate task, one that initially uses the calling execution context. This is one of those things where, when you need it, you really need it. But it’s hard to summary when you might need it, so you’ll just have to read the proposal (-:
In Progress
The proposals in this section didn’t make Swift 6.2.
SE-0406 Backpressure support for AsyncStream
link: SE-0406
availability: returned for revision
notes: Currently AsyncStream has very limited buffering options. This was a proposal to improve that. This feature is still very much needed, but the outlook for this proposal is hazy. My best guess is that something like this will land first in the Swift Async Algorithms package. See this thread.
SE-NNNN Closure isolation control
link: SE-NNNN
introduces: @inheritsIsolation
availability: not yet approved
notes: This aims to bring the currently experimental @_inheritActorContext attribute into the language officially. It’s not clear how this will play out given the changes in SE-0461.
Revision History
2025-09-02 Updated for the upcoming release Swift 6.2.
2025-04-07 Updated for the release of Swift 6.1, including a number of things that are still in progress.
2024-11-09 First post.
I am an SDK provider working with Swift Package Manager (SPM) to deliver libraries for iOS developers. My SDK currently uses SPM targets to modularize functionality. However, SPM enforces strict resource bundling, which prevents me from efficiently offering multiple targets—each with a different set of localization files—in a single package.
Current Limitation:
When multiple SPM targets share the same source and resource directory but require distinct sets of .lproj localization folders (for app size or client requirements), SPM raises “overlapping sources” errors. The only workaround is to manually split resource directories or have clients prune localizations post-build, which is inefficient and error-prone.
Feature Request:
Please consider adding native support in Swift Package Manager for:
Defining multiple targets within a single package that can process overlapping source/resource directories,
Each target specifying a distinct subset of localization resource files via the exclude or a new designated parameter,
Enabling efficient modular delivery of SDKs to clients needing different localization payloads, without redundant resource duplication or error-prone manual pruning.
Support for this feature would greatly ease SDK distribution, lower app sizes, and improve package maintainability for iOS and all Swift platforms.
I can't find the arm_neon.h header file in macOS 15.6.1

This topic area is about the programming languages themselves, not about any specific API or tool. If you have an API question, go to the top level and look for a subtopic for that API. If you have a question about Apple developer tools, start in the Developer Tools & Services topic.
For Swift questions:
If your question is about the SwiftUI framework, start in UI Frameworks > SwiftUI.
If your question is specific to the Swift Playground app, ask over in Developer Tools & Services > Swift Playground
If you’re interested in the Swift open source effort — that includes the evolution of the language, the open source tools and libraries, and Swift on non-Apple platforms — check out Swift Forums
If your question is about the Swift language, that’s on topic for Programming Languages > Swift, but you might have more luck asking it in Swift Forums > Using Swift.

let myEmail = "eskimo" + "1" + "@" + "apple.com"
var testTwo: Double = 0
testDouble = 80
testTwo = 200
var testThree: Int = 0
testThree = Int(testTwo/testDouble)
var testDate: Date = .now
var dateComponent = DateComponents()
dateComponent.day = testThree
var newDate: Date = Calendar.current.date(byAdding: dateComponentwith a thread error , to: testDate)!
This code works in a playground. However, when I try to use it in Xcode for my app it fails with the following error:
Thread 1: Fatal error: Double value cannot be converted to Int because it is either infinite or NaN
I printed the value being converted to Int and it was not NAN or infinite.
