The context provided does not specifically mention why iOS 26 might have broken just-in-time (JIT) compilation. However, there are several discussions around improvements and changes in Swift and Xcode, such as the introduction of explicitly built modules and enhancements in Swift's build system, which could potentially impact how code is compiled and executed. These changes might indirectly affect JIT compilation if they alter the way code is processed or executed at runtime.
For more detailed information, you might want to explore sessions related to Swift and Xcode, such as:
- What’s new in Xcode (Builds)
- What’s new in Swift (Development workflow: Building)
- Demystify explicitly built modules (Using modules)
These sessions discuss changes in the build process and module handling, which could be relevant to understanding any issues with JIT compilation.

What’s new in Swift
Join us for an update on Swift. We’ll briefly go through a history of Swift over the past decade, and show you how the community has grown through workgroups, expanded the package ecosystem, and increased platform support. We’ll introduce you to a new language mode that achieves data-race safety by default, and a language subset that lets you run Swift on highly constrained systems. We’ll also explore some language updates including noncopyable types, typed throws, and improved C++ interoperability.
