The latest improvements for UICollectionView were discussed in the session titled What’s new in UIKit. Here are some key updates:
-
List Environment Trait: All views in
UICollectionViewlist sections now have the list environment trait. This trait describes the style of the list that the view is in, ensuring that views automatically update their appearance based on the list environment. -
New Header and Footer Configurations: There are new constructors for
UIBackgroundConfigurationspecifically for list cells, list headers, and list footers. These configurations also update their appearance automatically from the list environment trait. -
UI Update Link: This new feature in iOS 18 makes it easier to implement complex animations that require periodic UI updates. It offers more features than
CADisplayLink, such as automatic view tracking and the ability to put the system in a low latency mode for drawing applications.
For more detailed information, you can refer to the chapter on List improvements in the "What’s new in UIKit" session.
