Here are some of the top new features and improvements in SwiftUI as presented at WWDC:

  1. Performance Enhancements: SwiftUI has seen major performance improvements, especially in lists and scrolling. Lists on macOS with over 100,000 items now load 6 times faster and update up to 16 times faster. Scrolling has also been optimized for smoother experiences across platforms.

  2. New Graphics Capabilities: SwiftUI introduces new graphics capabilities, including a mix modifier for colors and precompiled shaders to avoid frame drops.

  3. Custom Containers: You can now create custom container views with the new API on ForEachSubviewOf, allowing you to iterate over subviews and create custom containers with capabilities similar to built-in ones like List and Picker.

  4. TabView Enhancements: The new TabView API allows for more flexibility, including a type-safe syntax and the ability to switch between tab bar and sidebar views. It also supports customization like reordering and removing tabs.

  5. RealityKit Integration: SwiftUI now offers more API to work alongside RealityKit, including improved coordinate conversion and support for presenting SwiftUI popovers directly from RealityKit entities.

  6. Rich Text Editing: The SwiftUI text editor now supports rich text editing by changing the binding from a string to an attributed string, allowing for fully customizable styling and editing experiences.

  7. 3D Charts: Swift Charts now supports 3D, allowing for interactive 3D chart presentations with RealityKit integration.

  8. Web Content Support: New web APIs allow embedding web content with WebKit's WKWebView API in SwiftUI, including a new declarative webview component and a Web Page API for programmatically controlling web content.

  9. Improved Interoperability: SwiftUI has improved interoperability with UIKit and AppKit, including gesture recognition and animation integration.

  10. Swift 6 Language Mode: SwiftUI has improved its APIs to make it easier to adopt the new Swift 6 language mode, which includes compile-time data race safety.
