TextKit 2 is a next-generation text engine introduced by Apple to ensure that all scripts render correctly across different languages and text views. It is integrated into SwiftUI, AppKit, and UIKit, meaning that if you are using a label or text view in these frameworks, you are already utilizing TextKit 2. This engine is particularly beneficial for rendering complex scripts, such as Urdu, ensuring that text appears correctly without requiring specific code for each language.
For more detailed information on TextKit 2 and its applications, you can refer to the session titled "Build multilingual-ready apps" from WWDC 2024. This session discusses how TextKit 2 helps in rendering text correctly across different languages and provides examples of its implementation.
If you are interested in how TextKit 2 integrates with writing tools and text views, the session "Get started with Writing Tools" also provides insights into how TextKit 2 supports advanced text editing features, such as proofreading and rewriting text, in various text views.
Here are the relevant sessions mentioned:
Build multilingual-ready apps
Ensure your app works properly and effectively for multilingual users. Learn best practices for text input, display, search, and formatting. Get details on typing in multiple languages without switching between keyboards. And find out how the latest advances in the String Catalog can make localization even easier.
What’s new in UIKit
Explore everything new in UIKit, including tab and document launch experiences, transitions, and text and input changes. We’ll also discuss better-than-ever interoperability between UIKit and SwiftUI animations and gestures, as well as general improvements throughout UIKit.
Get started with Writing Tools
Learn how Writing Tools help users proofread, rewrite, and transform text in your app. Get the details on how Writing Tools interact with your app so users can refine what they have written in any text view. Understand how text is retrieved and processed, and how to support Writing Tools in custom text views.
