Latest swift ui

The latest updates in SwiftUI were presented in the session titled What’s new in SwiftUI. Here are some of the key highlights:

1. New Graphics Capabilities: SwiftUI now includes a new mix modifier on colors, allowing you to blend colors together by a given amount. Additionally, custom shaders can now be precompiled to avoid frame drops caused by lazy shader compilation.

2. Scroll View Enhancements: There are new APIs for fine-grained control over scroll views. You can now react to changes in content, offsets, and content size with the onScrollGeometryChange modifier. This allows for features like auto-playing videos when a view becomes visible due to scrolling.

3. Swift 6 Language Mode: SwiftUI has improved its APIs to make it easier to adopt the new Swift 6 language mode, which includes compile-time data race safety. Views in SwiftUI are now evaluated on the main actor by default.

4. Custom Containers and Mesh Gradients: New custom container APIs and mesh gradients have been introduced, providing more flexibility and creative options for developers.

5. Interoperability: SwiftUI now offers better interoperability with UIKit and AppKit, including the ability to set up and drive animations on these views using SwiftUI.

For a deeper dive into these features, you can watch the session What’s new in SwiftUI.

Additionally, the session SwiftUI essentials covers fundamental aspects and built-in capabilities of SwiftUI, including state-driven views, custom layouts, and animations.

For a broader overview of the platform updates, including SwiftUI, you can refer to the Platforms State of the Union session.
