At WWDC 2024, Apple introduced several new features and improvements to SwiftUI. Here are some of the highlights:

  1. Graphics Capabilities: SwiftUI now includes a new mix modifier on colors, allowing for beautiful color blending. Additionally, custom shaders can 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, including reacting to changes in content, offsets, and content size. You can also detect when a view's visibility changes due to scrolling, enabling experiences like auto-playing videos.

  3. Swift 6 Language Mode: SwiftUI has improved its APIs to support 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. Interoperability: SwiftUI has enhanced interoperability with UIKit and AppKit, allowing for shared gesture recognition and animations across these frameworks.

  5. New Features: Other exciting features include custom containers, mesh gradients, and scrolling customizations. SwiftUI is increasingly used across Apple's platforms, including iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and visionOS.

For more detailed information, you can refer to the sessions "What’s new in SwiftUI" and "Platforms State of the Union" from WWDC 2024.
