To optimize tasks that are running on the main thread, you can use several techniques discussed in the WWDC sessions. Here are some relevant insights:
-
Using Task Groups: In the session "Discover Swift enhancements in the Vision framework," it is suggested to use task groups to parallelize work and move execution to the background. This can help in processing multiple tasks concurrently, which is particularly useful for tasks like image processing that can be memory intensive. You can limit the number of concurrent tasks to manage memory usage effectively.
-
Thread Performance Checker: In the session "What’s new in Xcode 16," the thread performance checker is highlighted as a tool to identify and prioritize performance issues, such as tasks running on the main thread that should be moved to a background thread. This tool can help pinpoint the exact line of code causing the issue, allowing you to set breakpoints and debug effectively.
-
Swift Concurrency: The session "Migrate your app to Swift 6" discusses adopting Swift concurrency features to manage tasks more efficiently. By using Swift's concurrency model, you can ensure that UI updates and other main-thread tasks are handled appropriately, while background tasks are executed on dedicated actors or queues.
For more detailed guidance, you can refer to the following sessions:
- What’s new in Xcode 16 (19:44) - Discusses the flame graph and thread performance checker.
- Discover Swift enhancements in the Vision framework (08:59) - Covers optimizing with Swift concurrency.
- Migrate your app to Swift 6 (08:53) - Talks about adopting concurrency features.
These sessions provide a comprehensive overview of tools and techniques to optimize task execution and improve app performance.
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.
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.
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.
