In the context of handling weak self in a task, the discussion from the WWDC sessions doesn't directly address this specific topic. However, there are related concepts discussed in the sessions that might be useful.
For instance, in the session titled "Consume noncopyable types in Swift," there is a focus on managing state and ensuring that tasks are properly handled to avoid issues such as data races or unintended behavior when tasks are cancelled. This involves understanding how to manage noncopyable types and ensuring that tasks are executed safely without unintended side effects.
Additionally, the session "Migrate your app to Swift 6" discusses concurrency and data-race safety, which are relevant when dealing with tasks and ensuring that your code is safe from race conditions. This session also covers how to use the mainactor
and assume isolated
to ensure that code runs on the expected thread, which can help prevent issues related to weak references in tasks.
If you are looking for specific strategies to handle weak self in tasks, you might consider using Swift's concurrency features to ensure that your tasks are executed safely and that references are managed correctly to avoid retain cycles or unexpected behavior.
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.
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.
Explore Swift performance
Discover how Swift balances abstraction and performance. Learn what elements of performance to consider and how the Swift optimizer affects them. Explore the different features of Swift and how they’re implemented to further understand the tradeoffs available that can impact performance.
Consume noncopyable types in Swift
Get started with noncopyable types in Swift. Discover what copying means in Swift, when you might want to use a noncopyable type, and how value ownership lets you state your intentions clearly.
