The new SwiftUI layout performance improvements were highlighted in the session titled What’s new in SwiftUI. Here are some key points:

  1. Scrolling Enhancements: SwiftUI now offers more programmatic control over scroll views, including more scroll positions to programmatically scroll to, such as the top edge. You can also control content alignment, turn off bouncing along a given axis, and programmatically stop scrolling.

  2. On Scroll Geometry Change: This new API allows you to react to changes in content offsets, content size, and more, enabling you to create dynamic experiences based on the scroll position.

  3. Visibility Detection: SwiftUI can now detect when a view's visibility changes due to scrolling, which is useful for creating experiences centered around content moving on or off the screen.

  4. Swift 6 Language Mode: The new Swift 6 language mode enables compile-time data race safety, and SwiftUI has improved its APIs to make it easier to adopt this new language mode in your apps.
