General Concurrency Dispatch (GCD) is a technology used in Apple's operating systems to manage concurrent operations. It allows developers to execute tasks in parallel, improving the efficiency and responsiveness of applications. GCD provides a way to manage queues of tasks, which can be executed on different threads, without the developer having to manage the threads directly.
At WWDC, Apple often discusses enhancements and best practices related to concurrency, including the use of Swift concurrency features. For example, in the session "Migrate your app to Swift 6," there is a discussion about adopting Swift concurrency to improve the organization and execution of concurrent tasks. This involves using actors to manage tasks on the main queue and background operations, which can help streamline the concurrency architecture of an app.
If you're interested in learning more about concurrency and how it is managed in Swift, you might want to check out the session "Migrate your app to Swift 6," particularly the chapter on adopting concurrency features.
Analyze heap memory
Dive into the basis for your app’s dynamic memory: the heap! Explore how to use Instruments and Xcode to measure, analyze, and fix common heap issues. We’ll also cover some techniques and best practices for diagnosing transient growth, persistent growth, and leaks in your app.
Discover Swift enhancements in the Vision framework
The Vision Framework API has been redesigned to leverage modern Swift features like concurrency, making it easier and faster to integrate a wide array of Vision algorithms into your app. We’ll tour the updated API and share sample code, along with best practices, to help you get the benefits of this framework with less coding effort. We’ll also demonstrate two new features: image aesthetics and holistic body pose.
Meet the next generation of CarPlay architecture
Dive into the architecture for the next generation of CarPlay. Learn how your vehicle system works with iPhone to create a single cohesive experience that showcases the best of your car and iPhone. Learn how UI is rendered and composited, and explore ways to configure and customize a special experience for each vehicle model. This session is intended for automakers and system developers interested in the next generation of CarPlay.
Support real-time ML inference on the CPU
Discover how you can use BNNSGraph to accelerate the execution of your machine learning model on the CPU. We will show you how to use BNNSGraph to compile and execute a machine learning model on the CPU and share how it provides real-time guarantees such as no runtime memory allocation and single-threaded running for audio or signal processing models.
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.
Demystify explicitly built modules
Explore how builds are changing in Xcode 16 with explicitly built modules. Discover how modules are used to build your code, how explicitly built modules improve transparency in compilation tasks, and how you can optimize your build by sharing modules across targets.
What’s new in Xcode 16
Discover the latest productivity and performance improvements in Xcode 16. Learn about enhancements to code completion, diagnostics, and Xcode Previews. Find out more about updates in builds and explore improvements in debugging and Instruments.
