In the WWDC 2025 session titled "What’s new in SwiftUI," several enhancements for macOS were highlighted:

  1. Performance Improvements: There are significant performance gains for lists on macOS. Lists with over 100,000 items now load six times faster and update up to 16 times faster. Larger lists benefit even more from these improvements, enhancing the user experience when viewing, filtering, or updating items in apps.

  2. Design Updates: The new design system introduces a bright and fluid experience consistent across Apple platforms. On macOS, the app sidebar now has a glassy appearance that reflects the content around it, and toolbar items appear in liquid glass during navigation transitions.

  3. Integration with AppKit: SwiftUI has improved its integration with AppKit, allowing developers to show sheets with SwiftUI views and bridge AppKit gestures to SwiftUI using NSGestureRecognizerRepresentable.

  4. Web Content and Rich Text: SwiftUI now supports embedding web content directly in apps using WebKit's new SwiftUI APIs, including a new WebView component. This allows for rich interaction with web content.

  5. 3D Charts and Spatial Layouts: SwiftUI now supports 3D charts and spatial layouts, enabling more dynamic and visually engaging content.

For more detailed information, you can refer to the session What’s new in SwiftUI (06:53).
