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:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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:

These sessions provide a comprehensive overview of tools and techniques to optimize task execution and improve app performance.
