The content from the WWDC sessions primarily focuses on Swift 6 and its concurrency features, particularly addressing multithreading and queues. In the session "Migrate your app to Swift 6," there is a detailed discussion on how Swift concurrency helps manage concurrency more effectively by using actors and async/await features. This session highlights the transition from using multiple concurrent queues to a more structured approach with the main actor and dedicated actors for background operations.
Swift 6 introduces data-race safety by default, turning potential data race issues into compile-time errors, as discussed in the session "What’s new in Swift." This ensures that your app is more secure and reduces debugging time.
For more detailed information on concurrency and data-race safety in Swift 6, you can refer to the following sessions:
- Migrate your app to Swift 6 (03:20)
- What’s new in Swift (26:07)
These sessions provide insights into how Swift 6 handles concurrency, the importance of data-race safety, and practical migration strategies.
Migrate your app to Swift 6
Experience Swift 6 migration in action as we update an existing sample app. Learn how to migrate incrementally, module by module, and how the compiler helps you identify code that’s at risk of data races. Discover different techniques for ensuring clear isolation boundaries and eliminating concurrent access to shared mutable state.
What’s new in Swift
Join us for an update on Swift. We’ll briefly go through a history of Swift over the past decade, and show you how the community has grown through workgroups, expanded the package ecosystem, and increased platform support. We’ll introduce you to a new language mode that achieves data-race safety by default, and a language subset that lets you run Swift on highly constrained systems. We’ll also explore some language updates including noncopyable types, typed throws, and improved C++ interoperability.
A Swift Tour: Explore Swift’s features and design
Learn the essential features and design philosophy of the Swift programming language. We’ll explore how to model data, handle errors, use protocols, write concurrent code, and more while building up a Swift package that has a library, an HTTP server, and a command line client. Whether you’re just beginning your Swift journey or have been with us from the start, this talk will help you get the most out of the language.
