At WWDC, Apple introduced several new features and enhancements for SwiftUI. Here are some of the highlights:

  1. Graphics Capabilities: SwiftUI now includes new graphics capabilities, such as a mix modifier on colors to blend them together and extended custom shader features to precompile shaders, reducing frame drops. There are also new APIs for more control over scroll views, including detecting view visibility changes due to scrolling (What’s new in SwiftUI).

  2. Web Content Integration: SwiftUI now supports embedding web content directly in apps with a full set of WebKit APIs, including a new WebView for showing web content. This allows for programmatic navigation and interaction with web pages (What’s new in SwiftUI).

  3. 3D Charting: SwiftUI has introduced support for 3D charts, allowing developers to create plots in three dimensions and interact with them using new Z-specific modifiers (What’s new in SwiftUI).

  4. Swift 6 Language Mode: The new Swift 6 language mode offers compile-time data race safety, and SwiftUI has improved its APIs to make it easier to adopt this new language mode (What’s new in SwiftUI).

  5. Interoperability Improvements: There are significant improvements in the integration of gestures and animations between SwiftUI and UIKit/AppKit, allowing for better interoperability (What’s new in SwiftUI).

  6. Rich Text Editing: The SwiftUI text editor now supports rich text editing by changing the binding from a string to an attributed string, enabling full customization of text styling (Platforms State of the Union).

These updates make SwiftUI a more powerful and flexible framework for building apps across Apple's platforms.
