NSPredicate(format: "SELF MATCHES %@", "^[0-9A-Z]+$").evaluate(with: "126𝒥ℰℬℬ𝒢𝒦𝒮33")
Returns true, and I don't know why. 𝒥ℰℬℬ𝒢𝒦𝒮 is not between 0-9 and A-Z, and why it returns true? How to avoid similar problem like this when using NSPredicate?

Hello,
Please can you tell me how to create an array of dictionaries? This code below should create 4 dictionaries in an array, but I'm getting these errors:
For line "var output = [id: "testID", name: "testName"]":
cannot find 'name' in scope
Type '(any AnyObject).Type'
cannot conform to 'Hashable'
For line "return output":
Type '(any AnyObject).Type' cannot conform to 'Hashable'
var quotes: [(id: String, name: String)] {
var output = [[(id: String, name: String)]] ()
for i in 1...4 {
var output = [id: "testID", name: "testName"]
}
return output
}

Consider this simple miniature of my iOS Share Extension:
import SwiftUI
import Photos
class ShareViewController: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
if let itemProviders = (extensionContext?.inputItems.first as? NSExtensionItem)?.attachments {
let hostingView = UIHostingController(rootView: ShareView(extensionContext: extensionContext, itemProviders: itemProviders))
hostingView.view.frame = view.frame
view.addSubview(hostingView.view)
}
}
}
struct ShareView: View {
var extensionContext: NSExtensionContext?
var itemProviders: [NSItemProvider]
var body: some View {
VStack{}
.task{
await extractItems()
}
}
func extractItems() async {
guard let itemProvider = itemProviders.first else { return }
guard itemProvider.hasItemConformingToTypeIdentifier(UTType.url.identifier) else { return }
do {
guard let url = try await itemProvider.loadItem(forTypeIdentifier: UTType.url.identifier) as? URL else { return }
try await downloadAndSaveMedia(reelURL: url.absoluteString)
extensionContext?.completeRequest(returningItems: [])
}
catch {}
}
}
On the line 34
guard let url = try await itemProvider.loadItem
...
I get these warnings:
Passing argument of non-sendable type '[AnyHashable : Any]?' outside of main actor-isolated context may introduce data races; this is an error in the Swift 6 language mode
1.1. Generic enum 'Optional' does not conform to the 'Sendable' protocol (Swift.Optional)

2.2. Class 'NSItemProvider' does not conform to the 'Sendable' protocol (Foundation.NSItemProvider)
How to fix them in Xcode 16?
Please provide a solution which works, and not the one which might (meaning you run the same code in Xcode, add your solution and see no warnings).

I'm trying to use FormatStyle from Foundation to format numbers when printing a vector structure. See code below.
import Foundation
struct Vector<T> {
var values: [T]
subscript(item: Int) -> T {
get { values[item] }
set { values[item] = newValue }
}
}
extension Vector: CustomStringConvertible {
var description: String {
var desc = "( "
desc += values.map { "\($0)" }.joined(separator: " ")
desc += " )"
return desc
}
}
extension Vector {
func formatted<F: FormatStyle>(_ style: F) -> String where F.FormatInput == T, F.FormatOutput == String {
var desc = "( "
desc += values.map { style.format($0) }.joined(separator: " ")
desc += " )"
return desc
}
}
In the example below, the vector contains a mix of integer and float literals. The result is a vector with a type of Vector<Double>. Since the values of the vector are inferred as Double then I expect the print output to display as decimal numbers. However, the .number formatted output seems to ignore the vector type and print the values as a mix of integers and decimals. This is fixed by explicitly providing a format style with a fraction length. So why is the .formatted(.number) method ignoring the vector type T which is Double in this example?
let vec = Vector(values: [-2, 5.5, 100, 19, 4, 8.37])
print(vec)
print(vec.formatted(.number))
print(vec.formatted(.number.precision(.fractionLength(1...))))
( -2.0 5.5 100.0 19.0 4.0 8.37 ) // correct output that uses all Double types
( -2 5.5 100 19 4 8.37 ) // wrong output that uses Int and Double types
( -2.0 5.5 100.0 19.0 4.0 8.37 ) // correct output that uses all Double types
Hello, I was hoping to clarify my understanding of the use of for await with an AsyncStream. My use case is, I'd like to yield async closures to the stream's continuation, with the idea that, when I use for await with the stream to process and execute the closures, it would only continue on to the following closure once the current closure has been run to completion.
At a high level, I am trying to implement in-order execution of async closures in the context of re-entrancy. An example of asynchronous work I want to execute is a network call that should write to a database:
func syncWithRemote() async -> Void {
let data = await fetchDataFromNetwork()
await writeToLocalDatabase(data)
}
For the sake of example, I'll call the intended manager of closure submission SingleOperationRunner.
where, at a use site such as this, my desired outcome is that call 1 of syncWithRemote() is always completed before call 2 of it:
let singleOperationRunner = SingleOperationRunner(priority: nil)
singleOperationRunner.run {
syncWithRemote()
}
singleOperationRunner.run {
syncWithRemote()
}
My sketch implementation looks like this:
public final class SingleOperationRunner {
private let continuation: AsyncStream<() async -> Void>.Continuation
public init(priority: TaskPriority?) {
let (stream, continuation) = AsyncStream.makeStream(of: (() async -> Void).self)
self.continuation = continuation
Task.detached(priority: priority) {
// Will this loop only continue when the `await operation()` completes?
for await operation in stream {
await operation()
}
}
}
public func run(operation: @escaping () async -> Void) {
continuation.yield(operation)
}
deinit {
continuation.finish()
}
}
The resources I've found are https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2022-110351/?time=1445 and https://forums.swift.org/t/swift-async-func-to-run-sequentially/60939/2 but do not think I have fully put the pieces together, so would appreciate any help!
I am writing a SPM based project for MacOS. In this project? I need to access MacOS Keychain.
I am write a swift test built by SPM testTarget(). I can see it generates a bundle ./.build/x86_64-apple-macosx/debug/MyProjectTests.xctest with an executable:
% file ./.build/x86_64-apple-macosx/debug/MyProjectPackageTests.xctest/Contents/MacOS/MyProjectPackageTests
./.build/x86_64-apple-macosx/debug/MyProjectPackageTests.xctest/Contents/MacOS/MyProjectPackageTests: Mach-O 64-bit bundle x86_64
This bundle file cannot be executed. How can I execute its tests?
I tried with xcodebuild test-without-building -xctestrun ./.build/x86_64-apple-macosx/debug/MyProjectPackageTests.xctest -destination 'platform=macOS' without any chance.
Obviously the next question is can I 'simply' add entitlement to this bundle with codesign to fix my enttilement error.
My error when running the test is A required entitlement isn't present.
Hello,
I have a json array showing in Xcode debugger (from the line "print(dataString)"):

But my JSON decoder is throwing the catch error "Error in JSON parsing"
This is the code:
super.viewDidLoad()
let urlString = "https://www.pilotjobsnetwork.com/service_ios.php"
let url = URL(string: urlString)
guard url != nil else {
return
}
let session = URLSession.shared
let dataTask = session.dataTask(with: url!) { (data, response, error) in
var dataString = String(data: data!, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8)
print(dataString)
if error == nil && data != nil {
// Parse JSON
let decoder = JSONDecoder()
do {
let newsFeed = try decoder.decode(NewsFeed.self, from: data!)
print(newsFeed)
print(error)
}
catch{
print("Error in JSON parsing")
}
}
}
// Make the API Call
dataTask.resume()
}
And this is my Codable file NewsFeed.swift:
struct NewsFeed: Codable {
var id: String
var name: String
var country: String
var type: String
var overallrecsit: String
var dlastupd: String

Please do you know why the parsing may be failing? Is it significant that in the debugging window the JSON is displaying backslashes before the quotation marks?

I’m trying to create a property wrapper that that can manage shared state across any context, which can get notified if changes happen from somewhere else.
I'm using mutex, and getting and setting values works great. However, I can't find a way to create an observer pattern that the property wrappers can use.
The problem is that I can’t trigger a notification from a different thread/context, and have that notification get called on the correct thread of the parent object that the property wrapper is used within.
I would like the property wrapper to work from anywhere: a SwiftUI view, an actor, or from a class that is created in the background. The notification preferably would get called synchronously if triggered from the same thread or actor, or otherwise asynchronously. I don’t have to worry about race conditions from the notification because the state only needs to reach eventuall consistency.
Here's the simplified pseudo code of what I'm trying to accomplish:
// A single source of truth storage container.
final class MemoryShared<Value>: Sendable {
let state = Mutex<Value>(0)
func withLock(_ action: (inout Value) -> Void) {
state.withLock(action)
notifyObservers()
}
func get() -> Value
func notifyObservers()
func addObserver()
}
// Some shared state used across the app
static let globalCount = MemoryShared<Int>(0)
// A property wrapper to access the shared state and receive changes
@propertyWrapper
struct SharedState<Value> {
public var wrappedValue: T {
get { state.get() }
nonmutating set { // Can't set directly }
}
var publisher: Publisher {}
init(state: MemoryShared) {
// ...
}
}
// I'd like to use it in multiple places:
@Observable
class MyObservable {
@SharedState(globalCount)
var count: Int
}
actor MyBackgroundActor {
@SharedState(globalCount)
var count: Int
}
@MainActor
struct MyView: View {
@SharedState(globalCount)
var count: Int
}
What I’ve Tried
All of the examples below are using the property wrapper within a @MainActor class. However the same issue happens no matter what context I use the wrapper in: The notification callback is never called on the context the property wrapper was created with.
I’ve tried using @isolated(any) to capture the context of the wrapper and save it to be called within the state in with unchecked sendable, which doesn’t work:
final class MemoryShared<Value: Sendable>: Sendable {
// Stores the callback for later.
public func subscribe(callback: @escaping @isolated(any) (Value) -> Void) -> Subscription
}
@propertyWrapper
struct SharedState<Value> {
init(state: MemoryShared<Value>) {
MainActor.assertIsolated() // Works!
state.subscribe {
MainActor.assertIsolated() // Fails
self.publisher.send()
}
}
}
I’ve tried capturing the isolation within a task with AsyncStream. This actually compiles with no sendable issues, but still fails:
@propertyWrapper
struct SharedState<Value> {
init(isolation: isolated (any Actor)? = #isolation, state: MemoryShared<Value>) {
let (taskStream, continuation) = AsyncStream<Value>.makeStream()
// The shared state sends new values to the continuation.
subscription = state.subscribe(continuation: continuation)
MainActor.assertIsolated() // Works!
let task = Task {
_ = isolation
for await value in taskStream {
_ = isolation
MainActor.assertIsolated() // Fails
}
}
}
}
I’ve tried using multiple combine subjects and publishers:
final class MemoryShared<Value: Sendable>: Sendable {
let subject: PassthroughSubject<T, Never> // ...
var publisher: Publisher {} // ...
}
@propertyWrapper
final class SharedState<Value> {
var localSubject: Subject
init(state: MemoryShared<Value>) {
MainActor.assertIsolated() // Works!
handle = localSubject.sink {
MainActor.assertIsolated() // Fails
}
stateHandle = state.publisher.subscribe(localSubject)
}
}
I’ve also tried:
Using NotificationCenter
Making the property wrapper a class
Using NSKeyValueObserving
Using a box class that is stored within the wrapper.
Using @_inheritActorContext.
All of these don’t work, because the event is never called from the thread the property wrapper resides in.
Is it possible at all to create an observation system that notifies the observer from the same context as where the observer was created?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I ran into a problem, I have a recursive function in which Data type objects are temporarily created, because of this, the memory expands until the entire recursion ends. It would just be fixed using autoreleasepool, but it can't be used with async await, and I really don't want to rewrite the code for callbacks. Is there any option to use autoreleasepool with async await functions? (I Googled one option, that the Task already contains its own autoreleasepool, and if you do something like that, it should work, but it doesn't, the memory is still growing)
func autoreleasepool<Result>(_ perform: @escaping () async throws -> Result) async throws -> Result {
try await Task {
try await perform()
}.value
}

Hi, I'm trying to add Swift code to my Obj-C project. I've gone through all the tutorials and troubleshooting advice I can find online, no dice. I would appreciate any help, thank you so much in advance.
I add a new swift file to my Obj-C project
XCode offers to create a bridging header file for me, yes please
New .swift file and .h file are added to my project no problem
Header file shows up in build settings no problem
I add a new class to my new swift file ("@objc class HelloPrinter: NSObject")
When I build the app, nothing is generated in the bridging header file and the class is obviously inaccessible to my obj-c code
Is this supposed to work? My understanding is that it's supposed to work.
Somewhat concerning is the text that XCode puts in the bridging header file when it's created: "Use this file to import your target's public headers that you would like to expose to Swift."
I don't want to use this bridging header file for anything. I want XCode to GENERATE STUFF in the bridging file. I also don't want to expose anything to Swift. I want the opposite to happen. So I don't get this text at all. Thanks in advance again.

Issue:
During app execution, the intended method is not being called; instead, the method preceding (written above the intended method) is being executed.
For Example:
//In my case the ViewController class is at 3rd level of inheritance.
class ViewController: UIViewController {
func methodA() {
print("methodA")
}
func methodB() {
print("methodB")
}
}
let vc = ViewController()
vc.methodB()
Output: //"methodA"
Expected: //"methodB"
Observations:
Recent code changes have revealed that enabling the below Swift-6 flag leads to this linking issue. When this flag is commented out, the problem disappears.
.enableUpcomingFeature("InternalImportsByDefault")
Additionally, moving the intended method into an extension of the same class resolves the issue when the flag is enabled.
Conclusion:
To resolve the issue:
Comment out the Swift-6 flag.
Alternatively, move the method into an extension of the same class, which addresses the issue for this specific case.
I had similar issue in other class where it crashes with message "method not found", but actually the method is there. When moving the method into an extension of same class resolve this issue.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanking you..
I can't find a viable path to call StoreKit from C++ right now and would love some ideas.
I'm implementing the code exactly as shown at 4:09 in
https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2023/10172/
However when I add any StoreKit functionality in I immediately get
"Actor isolated structure cannot be exposed in C++"
This makes me think I can't create a StoreKit view and call it from C++? Am I missing a better way? I don't think I can have another structure that holds the storeChooser in it because it will have the same problem (I assume, although I will check). Part of the issue seems to be that my app is C++ so there is no main function called in the swift for me to open this view with either, I was going to use the present function Zoe described (as below).
I've tried a lot of alternative approaches but it seems to be blocking async functions from showing in C++ as well. So I'm not sure how to access the basic product(for:) and purchase(product) functions.
import Foundation
import StoreKit
import SwiftUI
public struct storeChooser: View {
public var productIDs: [String]
public var fetchError: String
//@State //Note this is from the UI
@State public var products: [Product] = []
// @State private var isPresented = true
// weak private var host: UIViewController? = nil
public init() {
productIDs = ["20_super_crystals_v1"]
products = []
self.fetchError = "untried"
}
public var body: some View {
VStack(spacing: 20) {
Text( "Products")
ForEach(self.products) { product in
Button {
//dont do anything yet
} label: {
Text("\(product.displayPrice) - \(product.displayName)")
}
}
}.task {
do {
try await self.loadProducts()
} catch {
print(error)
}
}
}
public func queryProducts() {
Task {
do {
try await self.loadProducts()
} catch {
print(error)
}
}
}
public func getProduct1Name() -> String {
if self.products.count > 0 {
return self.products[0].displayName
} else {
return "empty"
}
}
private func loadProducts() async throws {
self.products = try await Product.products(for: self.productIDs)
}
/* public mutating func present(_ viewController: UIViewController) {
isPresented = true;
let host = UIHostingController(rootView: self)
host.rootView.host = host
viewController.present(host, animated: true)
} */
}
What is the most obvious method of calling StoreKit from C++. I'm getting blocked by the fact that most of the critical StoreKit calls are async and functions marked a sync don't show up in the swift header for me to call from C++ (at least as far as I can tell).
I'm trying to call
let result = try await Product.products(for:productIDs) or
let result = try await product.purchase()
And C++ can't even see any functions I wrap these in as far as I can tell because i have to make them async. What am I missing?
I tried a lot of alternates, like wrapping in
Task { let result = try await Product.products(for:productIDs) }
and it gives me 'Passing closure as a sending parameter' errors.
Also when I try to call the same above code it gives me 'initializtion of immutable value never used' errors and the variables never appear.
Code:
struct storeChooser {
public var productIDs: [String]
public function checkProduct1 {
Task { let result = try await Product.products(for: productIDs) }
The above gives the initialization of immutable value skipped, and when I create a
@State var products
Then I get the 'passing closure as a sending parameter' error when i try to run it in a task
it appears if I could make the function async and call it from C++ and have it return nothing it may work, does anyone know how to get C++ to see an async function in the -Swift.h file?
Hi all,
In Swift, I often see static helper functions grouped in an enum without any cases, like this:
enum StringUtils {
static func camelCaseToSnakeCase(_ input: String) -> String {
// implementation
}
}
Since this enum has no cases, it cannot be instantiated – which is exactly the point.
It’s meant to group related functionality without any stored state, and without the need for instantiation.
This pattern avoids writing a struct with a private init() and makes the intent clearer:
"This is just a static utility, not an object."
You’ll often see this used for things like:
AnalyticsEvents.track(_:)
My question:
Is this use of a case-less enum considered good practice in Swift when building static-only helpers?
Or is there a better alternative for expressing intent and preventing instantiation?
I’d appreciate any insight – especially if there’s official guidance or references from the Swift core team.
Thanks!

We have FrameworkA which needs to use another FrameworkB internally to fetch a token.
Now when I try to use this FrameworkA, we are seeing an issue with internal framework i.e. No such module 'FrameworkB'.
But when I use @_implementationOnly import for the internal FrameworkB, I didn't see any issues.
So just wanted to check If I can go ahead and use this @_implementationOnly import flag in Production?

Last night my iPhone game crashed while running in debug mode on my iPhone. I just plugged it into my Mac, and was able to find the ips file. The stack trace shows the function in my app where it crashed, and then a couple of frames in libswiftCore.dylib before an assertion failure.
My question is - I've got absolutely no idea what the assertion failure actually was, all I have is...
0 libswiftCore.dylib 0x1921412a0 closure #1 in closure #1 in closure #1 in _assertionFailure(_:_:file:line:flags:) + 228
1 libswiftCore.dylib 0x192141178 closure #1 in closure #1 in _assertionFailure(_:_:file:line:flags:) + 327
2 libswiftCore.dylib 0x192140b4c _assertionFailure(_:_:file:line:flags:) + 183
3 MyGame.debug.dylib 0x104e52818 SentryBrain.takeTurn(actor:) + 1240
...
How do I figure out what the assertion failure was that triggered the crash? How do I figure out what line of code in takeTurn(...) triggered the failing assertion failure?
