The latest version of SwiftUI, as presented at WWDC 2024, includes numerous new features and improvements. Here are some highlights:
- New Graphics Capabilities: SwiftUI now allows you to mix colors beautifully with a new mix modifier on color. Custom shaders can be precompiled to avoid frame drops caused by lazy shader compilation.
- Scrolling Enhancements: There are new APIs for fine-grained control of scroll views, including the ability to detect when a view's visibility changes due to scrolling and programmatically control scroll positions.
- 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.
- Interoperability Improvements: Significant improvements have been made to the integration of gestures and animations, allowing for better interoperability with UIKit and AppKit.
- Accessibility Enhancements: New accessibility features include conditional modifier support and app intent-based accessibility actions.
- Xcode Previews: Xcode previews now have a dynamic linking architecture, allowing for faster iteration by switching between preview and build without needing to rebuild the project.
