Yes, you can use the @preconcurrency
directive and still build on Xcode 15. The @preconcurrency
attribute is used to mark code that was written before Swift's concurrency model was introduced, and it helps the compiler understand how to handle such code in a concurrency-safe manner.
However, if you are migrating to Swift 6 and enabling strict concurrency checking, you might encounter warnings related to the @preconcurrency
attribute. For example, in the session "Migrate your app to Swift 6," it is mentioned that once the compiler can see that a protocol is guaranteed to be on the main actor, it may warn that the @preconcurrency
attribute is no longer needed, and you can remove it (Migrate your app to Swift 6).
For more details on how to handle concurrency and the @preconcurrency
attribute in Swift 6, you can refer to the session "Migrate your app to Swift 6," particularly the chapters on enabling complete checking and handling delegate callbacks and concurrency.
