what’s new in SwiftUI in wwdc2025

At WWDC 2025, several exciting updates were introduced for SwiftUI. Here are some of the key highlights:

1. Web Content Integration: SwiftUI now allows embedding web content directly in your app using WebKit's new declarative WebView component. This is built with modern Swift technologies like observation and strict concurrency, making it simpler to bring web content to your apps.

2. Rich Text Editing: The SwiftUI text editor now supports rich text editing. By changing the binding of your text editor's text from a string to an attributed string, you can enable rich text editing with customizable styling.

3. 3D Charts and RealityKit Integration: Swift Charts now supports 3D, allowing for interaction with the camera to rotate and zoom in on charts. RealityKit entities now conform to Observable, simplifying interaction with RealityKit from SwiftUI code.

4. Performance Improvements: There are significant performance enhancements, especially in scrolling and list handling. Lists on macOS, for example, load six times faster, and updates are up to 16 times faster.

5. Design System Updates: A new design system provides a bright and fluid experience consistent across Apple platforms. Navigation containers and tab bars have been updated for a new design, with a glassy appearance on iPad and macOS.

6. Widgets and Controls: Widgets are now available on Vision OS and CarPlay, with new APIs for relevance on WatchOS. Custom controls are introduced for WatchOS 26 and macOS Tahoe.

7. Spatial and 3D Layouts: SwiftUI now supports creating rich 3D layouts using familiar 2D layout tools, with enhancements for volumetric experiences in VisionOS.
