It seems like you're interested in UIView rendering. At WWDC 2024, Apple introduced several updates and features related to rendering and animations in both SwiftUI and UIKit.

  1. SwiftUI Rendering and Animations:

    • SwiftUI now allows for more custom visual effects through the new text renderer API, which enables custom text drawing and animations. This is discussed in the session Create custom visual effects with SwiftUI (12:49).
    • SwiftUI also supports shaders, which are small programs that run on the GPU to create rendering effects. This allows for high-performance visual effects, as mentioned in the same session.
  2. UIKit Rendering and Animations:

    • UIKit has introduced the UIUpdateLink, which is similar to CA DisplayLink but with more features for complex animations. This is covered in the session What’s new in UIKit (11:18).
    • The session Enhance your UI animations and transitions (08:10) discusses how to animate UIKit and AppKit views using SwiftUI animations, providing a seamless integration between the two frameworks.

These updates provide developers with powerful tools to create more dynamic and visually appealing user interfaces. If you have more specific questions about these features, feel free to ask!
