NotificationCenter Crash On iOS 18+ Swift6.2
After switching our iOS app project from Swift 5 to Swift 6 and publishing an update, we started seeing a large number of crashes in Firebase Crashlytics. The crashes are triggered by NotificationCenter methods (post, addObserver, removeObserver) and show the following error: BUG IN CLIENT OF LIBDISPATCH: Assertion failed: Block was expected to execute on queue [com.apple.main-thread (0x1f9dc1580)] All scopes to related calls are already explicitly marked with @MainActor. This issue never occurred with Swift 5, but appeared immediately after moving to Swift 6. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is there a known solution or workaround? Thanks in advance!

iOS and Android
I currently have a iOS app live on the App Store but I also want to release it on Android, the whole code is in Swift so would that be possible or would I have to rewrite my whole apps code in a different coding language.

Data Disappeared
Hi, writing a database app for storing equipment details. Spent the day doing minor changes and tidying with many backups made, and always re-building to check its all working. Everything ok but then next build looses all data, what's the best thing to check to see if the data is still there, any help would be fantastic.

Actors with Combine publishers as properties.
Is it ok for an Actor type to have a Publisher as a property to let others observe changes over time? Or use the @Published property wrapper to achieve this? actor MyActor { var publisher = PassthroughSubject<Int, Never>() var data: Int { didSet { publisher.send(data) } } ... } // Usage var tasks = Set<AnyCancellable>() let actor = MyActor() Task { let publisher = await actor.publisher publisher.sink { print($0) }.store(in: &tasks) } This seems like this should be acceptable. I would expect a Publisher to be thread safe, and as long as the Output is a value type things should be fine. I have been getting random EXC_BAD_ACCESS errors when using this approach. But turning on the address sanitizer causes these crashes to go away. I know that isn't very specific but I wanted to start by seeing if this type of pattern is ok to do.

Crash with Progress type, Swift 6, iOS 18
We are getting a crash _dispatch_assert_queue_fail when the cancellationHandler on NSProgress is called. We do not see this with iOS 17.x, only on iOS 18. We are building in Swift 6 language mode and do not have any compiler warnings. We have a type whose init looks something like this: init( request: URLRequest, destinationURL: URL, session: URLSession ) { progress = Progress() progress.kind = .file progress.fileOperationKind = .downloading progress.fileURL = destinationURL progress.pausingHandler = { [weak self] in self?.setIsPaused(true) } progress.resumingHandler = { [weak self] in self?.setIsPaused(false) } progress.cancellationHandler = { [weak self] in self?.cancel() } When the progress is cancelled, and the cancellation handler is invoked. We get the crash. The crash is not reproducible 100% of the time, but it happens significantly often. Especially after cleaning and rebuilding and running our tests. * thread #4, queue = 'com.apple.root.default-qos', stop reason = EXC_BREAKPOINT (code=1, subcode=0x18017b0e8) * frame #0: 0x000000018017b0e8 libdispatch.dylib`_dispatch_assert_queue_fail + 116 frame #1: 0x000000018017b074 libdispatch.dylib`dispatch_assert_queue + 188 frame #2: 0x00000002444c63e0 libswift_Concurrency.dylib`swift_task_isCurrentExecutorImpl(swift::SerialExecutorRef) + 284 frame #3: 0x000000010b80bd84 MyTests`closure #3 in MyController.init() at MyController.swift:0 frame #4: 0x000000010b80bb04 MyTests`thunk for @escaping @callee_guaranteed @Sendable () -&gt; () at &lt;compiler-generated&gt;:0 frame #5: 0x00000001810276b0 Foundation`__20-[NSProgress cancel]_block_invoke_3 + 28 frame #6: 0x00000001801774ec libdispatch.dylib`_dispatch_call_block_and_release + 24 frame #7: 0x0000000180178de0 libdispatch.dylib`_dispatch_client_callout + 16 frame #8: 0x000000018018b7dc libdispatch.dylib`_dispatch_root_queue_drain + 1072 frame #9: 0x000000018018bf60 libdispatch.dylib`_dispatch_worker_thread2 + 232 frame #10: 0x00000001012a77d8 libsystem_pthread.dylib`_pthread_wqthread + 224 Any thoughts on why this is crashing and what we can do to work-around it? I have not been able to extract our code into a simple reproducible case yet. And I mostly see it when running our code in a testing environment (XCTest). Although I have been able to reproduce it running an app a few times, it's just less common.

MPMediaItemPropertyArtwork crashes on Swift 6
Hey all! in my personal quest to make future proof apps moving to Swift 6, one of my app has a problem when setting an artwork image in MPNowPlayingInfoCenter Here's what I'm using to set the metadata func setMetadata(title: String? = nil, artist: String? = nil, artwork: String? = nil) async throws { let defaultArtwork = UIImage(named: "logo")! var nowPlayingInfo = [ MPMediaItemPropertyTitle: title ?? "***", MPMediaItemPropertyArtist: artist ?? "***", MPMediaItemPropertyArtwork: MPMediaItemArtwork(boundsSize: defaultArtwork.size) { _ in defaultArtwork } ] as [String: Any] if let artwork = artwork { guard let url = URL(string: artwork) else { return } let (data, response) = try await URLSession.shared.data(from: url) guard (response as? HTTPURLResponse)?.statusCode == 200 else { return } guard let image = UIImage(data: data) else { return } nowPlayingInfo[MPMediaItemPropertyArtwork] = MPMediaItemArtwork(boundsSize: image.size) { _ in image } } MPNowPlayingInfoCenter.default().nowPlayingInfo = nowPlayingInfo } the app crashes when hitting MPMediaItemPropertyArtwork: MPMediaItemArtwork(boundsSize: defaultArtwork.size) { _ in defaultArtwork } or nowPlayingInfo[MPMediaItemPropertyArtwork] = MPMediaItemArtwork(boundsSize: image.size) { _ in image } commenting out these two make the app work again. Again, no clue on why. Thanks in advance

How can I enable “Approachable Concurrency” for a Swift Package?
I’m aware that Xcode version 26 beta 3 provides an option to enable Swift’s Approachable Concurrency feature at the project level. However, I’d like to achieve the same for a Swift Package. Could you please advise on how to enable Approachable Concurrency support specifically for a Swift Package?

How to retrieve the % of memory pressure using native libraries
Is there any way to retrieve the memory pressure percentage using native libraries? When I run the memory-pressure command, I can see the percentage of free memory, but I’d like to retrieve the same information using a native library.
