At WWDC 2025, Apple introduced several exciting updates to SwiftUI. Here are some of the key highlights from the session titled "What’s new in SwiftUI":

  1. Web Content Integration: SwiftUI now includes a full set of WebKit APIs, allowing developers to embed web content directly in their apps using the new WebView component. This makes it easier to show URLs and interact with web pages programmatically.

  2. Performance Improvements: Significant enhancements have been made to improve the performance of SwiftUI apps. For example, lists on macOS can now load and update much faster, with lists of over 100,000 items loading six times faster and updating up to 16 times faster.

  3. Design System Updates: A new design system has been introduced, providing a bright and fluid experience across Apple platforms. This includes updates to navigation containers, tab bars, and toolbar items, which now have a more compact and dynamic appearance.

  4. 3D and RealityKit Enhancements: SwiftUI now offers more APIs to work alongside RealityKit, including support for 3D charts and new depth-based layout modifiers. This allows for richer 3D layouts and interactions within apps.

  5. Widgets and Vision OS: Widgets are now available on Vision OS and CarPlay, with new customization options and APIs for relevance on WatchOS.

For a detailed overview of these updates, you can watch the session What’s new in SwiftUI (00:00:07).
