Core Data indexing was not specifically covered in the provided context from WWDC. However, there are related topics discussed in the sessions, such as the use of Swift Data and Core Spotlight for indexing and search functionalities.
For example, in the session What’s new in SwiftData, the use of the #Index macro is discussed, which allows you to declare properties that Swift Data should create an index for, making queries faster and more efficient. This is particularly useful for properties frequently used in sorting and filtering.
Additionally, the session Support semantic search with Core Spotlight covers how to donate searchable content to Spotlight, which involves creating a searchable index that can be queried to enhance search experiences in your app.
If you have specific questions about Core Data indexing or need more detailed information, please let me know!
Support semantic search with Core Spotlight
Learn how to provide semantic search results in your app using Core Spotlight. Understand how to make your app’s content available in the user’s private, on-device index so people can search for items using natural language. We’ll also share how to optimize your app’s performance by scheduling indexing activities. To get the most out of this session, we recommend first checking out Core Spotlight documentation on the Apple Developer website.
