For improving table and list view performance, Apple introduced several updates at WWDC 2024. In UIKit, collection and table view APIs have been updated to make it easier to update your cells. All views in UI collection view list sections and UITableViews now have the list environment trait set, which helps ensure that cells are styled appropriately in any given list. This update removes the need to know the style of the list when configuring a cell, simplifying the code and potentially improving performance (What’s new in UIKit).
In SwiftUI, lists can be customized through the use of view modifiers, allowing for advanced constructions and performance optimizations. SwiftUI's declarative system automatically keeps your UI up to date when your view state changes, which can help maintain performance (SwiftUI essentials).
These updates aim to simplify code and enhance performance by leveraging new traits and declarative updates.
