It seems there is no specific information about updates to Objective-C in the provided context. However, there are several updates and new features related to Swift, which is Apple's modern programming language that has been evolving to replace Objective-C in many areas. Here are some highlights from the WWDC sessions:

  1. Swift 6: Introduces a new language mode that provides data race safety guarantees, improving the safety of concurrent programs. It also includes non-copyable types, which help manage unique ownership of resources.

  2. Swift Foundation: The Foundation framework has been rewritten from legacy C and Objective-C into modern Swift, offering more consistency, higher quality, and better performance across all platforms.

  3. Swift's 10th Anniversary: Celebrating a decade since its introduction, Swift continues to evolve with new features and improvements, making it a compelling choice for performance-sensitive and secure code.

  4. Swift's New Space on GitHub: The Swift project is moving to a new organization on GitHub, which will include the Swift Compiler foundation and other ecosystem packages.

  5. C++ Interoperability: Swift continues to improve its interoperability with C++, allowing for more seamless integration between the two languages.

For more detailed information on these topics, you can refer to the session titled "What’s new in Swift" from WWDC 2024.

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.
