Last years WWDC Session Notes was so successful that I decided to continue this form of WWDC session summary. I would like to take the moment to thank all of you for contribution, feedback, support and reading my session notes 🙏
Usually it is much faster to read through some bullet points instead of watching a 50 min session video. Then if you find something interesting you can still watch it.
Sessions that are exceptionally mentionable are highlighted using a ★.
This is work in progress since it is a lot of effort to watch all the videos by myself. So either please be patient or just open up an issue to make a suggestion which session notes you like to see next :)
Feel free to submit a PR if I got something wrong or you have a suggestion for improvement. Please also have a look in CONTRIBUTING.md if you want to contribute.
Thanks so much to EVERYBODY who contributed and improved the overall quality of the notes and those who added complete notes to the list.

Presenter: Tylor Fox
- Getting started with configurations
- In iOS 13, we use the built-in imageView and textLabel properties on
UITableViewCell
to display an image and some text. - In iOS 14, we use the content configuration to describe the cell appearance for a specific state
- This is how you configure a cell using a content configuration:
var content = cell.defaultContentConfiguration()
This always returns a fresh configuration without any content set on it. Don't need to think about the old state at all.- Set the image and text on the content configuration.
cell.contentConfiguration = content
As soon as we call this, the cell is updated to display the image and text that we specified.
- Same code to configure any cell and any view that supports content configurations.
- Composable, lightweight, very inexpensive to create and built for performance
- In iOS 13, we use the built-in imageView and textLabel properties on
- Configuration types
- Background Configuration
- let you set things such as background color, visual effect, stroke, insets, corner radius and custom view
- List Content Configuration
- let you set things such as image, text, secondary text, layout metrics and behaviors
- Background Configuration
- Configuration state
- Configuration state represents the various inputs that you use to configure your cells and views.
- Each cell, header and footer has its own configuration state.
- Two Types
- View configuration state
- Trait collection
- 4 states: highlighted, selected, disabled and focused
- Custom state: this is key-value storage to add any extra states or data that use to configuring your view.
- Cell configuration state
- Everything from the View configuration state
- Editing, swiped, expanded
- Drag and drop states
- View configuration state
- When
automaticallyUpdatesContentConfiguration
is true, The cell automatically callsupdated(for:)
on its contentConfiguration when the cell’s configurationState changes, and applies the updated configuration back to the cell. The default value is true. - When
automaticallyUpdatesBackgroundConfiguration
is true, the cell automatically callsupdated(for:)
on its backgroundConfiguration when the cell’s configurationState changes, and applies the updated configuration back to the cell. The default value is true. - You can override
updateConfiguration(using:)
to manually update and customize the content configuration, disable automatic updates by setting this property to false. This method is called before your cell first displays and will be called anytime the configuration state have changed.

- Widgets are now used across all platforms
- Great widgets are glancable, relevant and personalized
- Smart stacks are collections of widgets and automatically show the right one on top using on-device intelligence
- Widgets support configuration by tapping them - this is realized using intents similar to SiriKit
- e.g. choosing the city in a Weather app
- UI built entirely in SwiftUI
- How WidgetKit works
- WidgetKit extensions are background extensions
- They return a series of view hierarchies in a time line
- Time line is sent to the home screen which presents the right view at the right time
- Since views are "ready" they can be re-used at different points in the system, e.g. the Widget Gallery
- Time line is refreshed from main app and updates are scheduled by extension
- Imagine the Calendar time line for the day. One event is updated from Calendar, which then wakes up the extension and provides the new time line.
- Building a Widget
- Single Widget Extension supports multiple kinds of widgets on different platforms
- Possible configurations:
Static
(Workout widget) orIntent-Based
(Reminder widget that can be personalized) - Supported Families: A widget can enable one or many of the following families:
systemSmall
,systemMedium
,systemLarge
- Widget struct must conform to
Widget
and its body toWidgetConfiguration
- How to build a glancable experience
- Widgets are not mini apps they rather project content on the home screen
- No scrolling
- No videos or animated images
- Tap interactions to deep link into main app. Widget associable with a URL link using the widgetURL API (use the new Link API of SwiftUI)
- Important new view types:
Placeholder
- Should not contain user data
- Great placeholder UIs show a representation of what kind your data is
Snapshot
- Represent a single entry in time
- Should return a view as quickly as possible
- Used to display your widget in the gallery
- Use it as the first entry in your time line so users get what they see in the gallery
Time line
- Combination of views and dates
- Output if WidgetKit extension is serialized to disk which enabled rendering of individual entries just in time
- Reloads
- Wake up the extension and ask for a new time line
- Help to ensure that content is up to date
- Get a
TimelineProvider
bystruct Provider: TimelineProvider
- Implement
func snapshot(...)
andfunc timeline(...)
for returning the respective data - Provide a reload policy at Time line cretion time to tell when the time line should be reloaded:
atEnd
,after(date: Date)
,never
- Implement
- System determines the best time to reload the widget, e.g. based on:
- Background notification
- Significant time change
- Changes in the app made by the user, e.g. new Calendar entry
- Use
WidgetCenter.[reloadTimelines(ofKind:), reloadAllTimelined]
to programmatically reload time lines - Get current configurations with
WidgetCenter.getCurrentConfigurations(completion:)
- Use batch requests
- Do not overuse networking from a widget
- Use
onBackgroundURLSessionEvents
modifier to launch a network task which delivers the result to your extension- Reloads are budgeted by the system, do not overuse them
- Personalization
- Use the
Intents
framework, known from Siri, to customize the widgets behavior - Use the new In-App Intent Handling to answer requests from your widget
IntentConfiguration
is used to power intent-based widget configurationsIntentTimelineProvider
is used to generate specific time lines
- Use the
- Intelligence
- Widgets are displayed on the home screen by on-device intelligence
- Your app can donate shortcuts
- Widget extension can annotate time line entries using
TimelineEntryRelevance
with its score and duration properties

- Getting Started
- Always ask you the following questions:
- What data does my view need?
- How will the view manipulate this date?
- Where will the data come from?
- Immutable views, that just display data, contain only let properties
- Pull multiple properties in their own config object
- The config object can contain functions to mutate its state
- Using
@State private var config: ConfigObject()
to re-render your view afterconfig
changed - Let parent and sub views communicate over a single config object by sharing it using
@Binding var config
- Pass
config
down by marking the it as reference using the dollar symbol:SubView(config: $config)
- Always ask you the following questions:
- Modeling Data Using ObservableObject
- Class-constrained protocol (only adoptable by reference types)
- Can be used to achieve super-custom behaviors, e.g. backing data by a service or server
- Conform by implementing
var objectWillChange: Self.ObjectWillChangePublisher { get }
- Use to manage data life cycle, handle side-effects, integrate with existing components
- Will be your source of truth
- Doesn't need to be your full data model - split into multiple observable objects if your model is complex
- Use a single ObservableObject for all your views if your data model is simple
- Mark properties of your ObservableObject, your view is interested in as
@Published var progress: Double
- How to create an ObservableObject dependency?
@ObservedObject
@ObservedObject var config: Configuration
- You need to manage the objects ownership outside of your view
- Create a binding to any value-type property of the ObservableObject to pass it into e.g.
$config.isFinished
aToggle
control and let it automatically update your view
@StateObject
- SwiftUI owns the ObservableObject
- Creation/destruction is tied to view's life cycle
- Instantiated just before body runs
- Use it to implement e.g. an
ImageLoader: ObservableObject
with a@published var image: Image
property - Whenever
@StateObject
changes the view is re-rendered and thus populated with the image
EnvironmentObject
- In SwiftUI you typically have a hierarchy of many modular sub views
- To avoid a lot of boilerplate by passing around ObservableObject's pass it to
.environmentObject(...)
on your root view - Changes to it, from any view in the hierarchy, will be reflected in any other view
- SwiftUI Performance Considerations
- Avoid slow view updates
- Make view initializers cheap, e.g. no dispatches
- Make body a pure function
- Avoid assumptions
- New event sources:
onChange
,onOpenURL
,onContinueUserActivity
- run on main thread
- Avoid slow view updates
- Who owns the data?
- Share data in a common ancestor
- Leverage
@StateObject

- Hitch: A frame appears on screen later than expected
- VSYNC: Time the screen swaps the frame onto the display
- Hitch time: Time in ms that a frame is late to display
- Hitch ratio: Hitch time in ms per second for a given duration
- Apple doesn't use frames per second (fps) since:
- 60 or 120 fps is not always the desired target
- Display may intentionally not be updated
- Target frame rate may intentionally be lower than possible
- Hitch ratio is always comparable across tests, following ratios are recommended:
- Good: < 5ms/s
- Warning: 5..10ms/s - users will start recognizing hitches
- Critical: >10ms/s
- Can be measured using
XCTestMetrics
and unit tests or for production apps usingMetricsKit
and Xcode Organizer XCTOSSignpostMetric
gives you the following when using an animation os_signpost interval:- Duration
- Total count of hitches
- Total duration of hitches
- Hitch time ratio
- Frame rate
- Frame count
- Specify an animation os_signpost interval by:
os_signpost(.animationBegin, log: logHandle, name: "performanceAnimationInterval")
os_signpost(.end, log: logHandle, name: "performanceAnimationInterval")
- UIKit has pre-defined metrics:
XCTOSSignpostMetric.navigationTransitionMetric
XCTOSSignpostMetric.customNavigationTransitionMetric
XCTOSSignpostMetric.scrollDecelerationMetric
XCTOSSignpostMetric.scrollDraggingMetric
- Application state can be reset to avoid tests influencing themselves:

- Most common reasons why apps can be terminated in the background
- Crash
- Segmentation fault
- Illegal instruction
- Asserts and uncaught exceptions
- CPU resource limit
- High sustained CPU load in background
- Energy Exception Report
- Xcode Organizer
MXCPUExceptionDiagnostic
- Reports contain call stack points out hotspots in code
- Consider moving work into
BGProcessingTask
- Watchdog
- Long hang during key app transitions
application(_:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:)
applicationDidEnterBackground(_:)
applicationWillEnterForeground(_:)
- These transitions have a time limit on the order of 20 seconds
- Terminations are disabled in Simulator and in the Debugger
- Eliminate deadlocks, infinite loops, synchronous work
- Report available via
MXCrashDiagnostic
- Long hang during key app transitions
- Memory limit exceeded
- App using too much memory
- Same limit for foreground and background
- Use Instruments and Memory Debugger
- Keep in mind older devices
- Memory pressure exit (jetsam)
- Not a bug with your app
- Most common termination
- System freeing up memory for active applications
- Reducing jetsame rate
- Aim for less than 50MB in background
- Upon background flush state to disk, clear out image views, drop caches
- Recovering from jetsame
- Save state upon entering background
- Adopt UIKit State Restoration
- User should not realize app was terminated
- Background task timeout
UIApplication.beginBackgroundTask(expirationHandler:)
UIApplication.endBackgroundTask(_:)
- Failure to end the task explicitly result in termination
- Counts exposed via
MXBackgroundExitData
- Preventable
- Use the named variant of the UIKit API
beginBackgroundTask(withName:expirationHandler:)
- Terminations do not occur in Debugger
- New console message in iOS 13.4 (Background Task DatabaseTransaction was created over 30 seconds ago. In Applications running in the background, this creates a risk of termination. Remember to call
endBackgroundTask
for your task in a timely manner to avoid this.)
- Use the named variant of the UIKit API
- Expiration handler
- Implement an
expirationHandler
- Call
endBackgroundTask(_:)
inside the handler - Do not begin new work
- Do not rely on it exclusively
- Add telemetry at the start and end of each expiration handler
- Inspect
MXMetricPayload
- Implement an
- Check
backgroundTimeRemaining
- Only start work if plenty of time remains
- Unsafe to begin tasks with < 5 seconds remaining
- Avoid leaking
UIBackgroundTaskIdentifier
- Crash
- New MetricKit API (iOS 14)
MXBackgroundExitData
shows how often these terminations happen providing counts of each termination typecumulativeBadAccessExitCount

- This is one of those "why" sessions. Why we should build something?
- Intelligent System Experience
- The main idea is to be proactive
- Intelligence is how the OS works with the apps that people use every day to make the "every day" easier for people
- Intelligence is design (it should be viewed as a design practice)
- Living design. What is that?
- The core job of the designer is to help people accomplish something
- One of the key ways a designer can leverage this is by using elements familiar to the user
- People use a signifier or a symbol
- For example, "Share" button. In the case of iOS, almost everyone can easily recognize the "default" share symbol because it consistently gets used across a lot of apps
- Intelligence is a platform convention, it's in a static glyph or icon, like the share button. It's live
- Intelligence manifests itself by adapting to how the system, the platform, conforms to how people use their devices
- Intelligence is expected (people expect their devices and apps to be smart)
- Extensibility
- Intelligence is powered by an app through extensibility
- Apps have actually been evolving over time
- A lot of the technologies built by Apple that are foundational to the intelligence system (starting from App Extensions debuted at WWDC 2014 and ending with App Clips so far)
- It's built to help growing ecosystem of devices and apps
- Intelligence system is built from a foundation of respecting users privacy
- In the next sessions about system intelligence, Apple's team will try to cover it from a few different angles

- Intelligence
- Goal to make your Apple products knowing/understanding you
- Achieve and Discover more, Less tedium, Fewer distraction
- System helps you through suggestions from Siri, Shortcuts, Suggestions, Widgets
- Siri / Shortcuts
- Helps you getting things done by a single tap or asking Siri
- Helps you setting up simple and complex operations ran, e.g. just by your voice
- View shortcuts through the new Siri suggestion Widget displayed just at the right time to you using the new smart stack and on-device intelligence
- Siri suggestions automatically appear at the right place and time, e.g. restaurant reservations are added automatically to the calendar
- Siri can remind you when it's time to leave right on your lock screen
- Get Siri suggestions in Maps to e.g. conveniently find your way to the Airport
- Privacy / Analytics
- Apple chose opt-in to enable analytics on your device to help improve their intelligence services
- Examples
- 82% of all notification-based check-ins come from suggestions (data from some Airline apps)
- Apps are visible on average 5x more per day via lock screen, sharing suggestion, search or other entry points
- Give your app superpowers
- Think about which entry points are suitable for your app
- Consider how you can measure the impact of intelligence on your app
- Understand intelligence from the users perspective

- Diffable Data Source
- Recap
UICollectionView
was first released in iOS 6UICollectionView
was built on the separation of concerns between the data, or the "what"; from the layout, the "where" content is being rendered.- For layout, an abstract class is
UICollectionViewLayout
, and a concrete subclass isUICollectionViewFlowLayout
. - For the presentation, there are
UICollectionViewCell
andUICollectionReusableView
. - In iOS 13, there are two new components for Data and Layout respectively with Diffable Data Source and Compositional Layout.
- Section snapshot [New in iOS 14]
- Allow data sources to be more composable into section-sized chunks of data.
- Allow modeling of hierarchical data, which is needed to support rendering outline-style UIs.
- Recap
- Compositional Layout
- Recap
- Compositional Layout was introduced in iOS 13
- Allows us to build rich, complex layouts by composing smaller, easy-to-reason bits of layout together.
- Describes what the layout to look like instead of how the layout ought to work.
- Section-specific layouts to help you build more sophisticated UIs
- Support for orthogonal scrolling sections.
- Recap
- Lists [New in iOS 14]
UITableView
-like sections right in to anyUICollectionView
.- Rich with features you've come to expect from
UITableView
, like swipe actions and many common cell layouts. - Easily mix and match Lists with other kinds of layout on a per-section basis.
- Concrete
UICollectionViewListCell
, header and footer support - New Sidebar appearance we see in many iPadOS system apps.
- Modern Cells
- Cell registrations
- Simple, reusable way to set up a cell from a view model.
- Eliminate the extra step of registering a cell class or nib to associate it with a reuse identifier.
- Use a generic registration type which incorporates a configuration closure for setting up a new cell from a view model.
- Cell content configurations.
- Standardized layouts for cells similar to what is seen in
UITableView
standard cell types. - Can be used with any cell, or even a generic UIView.
- Standardized layouts for cells similar to what is seen in
- Background configurations.
- Similar to content configurations but apply to any cell's background with the ability to adjust properties such as color, border styles and more.
- Cell registrations

- Universal Links
- HTTPS URLs that represent your content both on the web and in your app
- Allow to open your app instead of browser
- Enable by adding an entitlement to your app and a JSON file to your web server - creates secure association between both
- Custom URL schemes not recommended anymore - switch as soon as possible
- Support for watchOS
- Same functionalities like on iOS, tvOS and macOS
- Apply entitlement to your WatchKit extension - not your WatchKit App
- Use
[WKExtensionDelegate.handle(_ userActivity: NSUserActivity) -> Void](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/watchkit/wkextensiondelegate/2798966-handle)
to handle Universal Links - Use
[WKExtension.shared().openSystemURL(url)](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/watchkit/wkextension/1628224-opensystemurl)
to open Universal Links in other apps - Different API on iOS (UIKit) and macOS (AppKit)
- Universal Links in SwiftUI
- Now it is possible to handle Universal Links equally on all platforms
- Handle Universal Links using
.onOpenURL { url in /* ... */ }
- Open Universal Links in other apps using
@Environment (\.openURL) var openURL; let url = /* ... */; openURL(url)
- Enhanced Pattern Matching
*
matches zero or more characters greedily?
matches any one character*?
matches at least one character"components": [{ "/": "/sourdough/?*", "caseSensitive": false }]
for case-insensitive pattern matching (macOS Catalina 10.15.5 and iOS 13.5)"components": [{ "/": "/中國哲學書電子化計劃/?*", "percentEncoded": false }]
for Unicode pattern matching (macOS Big Sur and iOS 14)"defaults": { "percentEncoded": false, "caseSensitive": false }
to specify defaults for all components (macOS Big Sur and iOS 14)- Apply
defaults
to "details" (includes app IDs and components) or only to "components" to match all elements of the respective arrays
- Apply
- Substitution Variables
- Named lists of substrings to match against
- Names can contain anything but
$
,(
,)
- Names are always case sensitive in patterns
- Values can contain
?
and*
but no other substitution variables - Values are case-sensitive by default
- Available today in macOS Catalina 10.15.6 and iOS 13.5
- Predefined Substitution Variables
$(alpha)* - match upper and lower case letters
$(upper),$(lower)* - match either upper or lower case letters
$(alnum)* - match upper and lower case letters including digits
$(digit),$(xdigit)* - match either digits or hexadecimal digits
$(region)** - match every ISO region code defined by Foundation: Locale.isoRegionCodes
$(lang)** - match every ISO language code defined by Foundation: Locale.isoLanguageCodes
- Use
"exclude": true
to exclude specific patterns - Substitution variables can be used to form different combinations of patterns, e.g. show different menus for different countries
- Example
{ "appLinks": { "substitutionVariables": { "food": [ "burrito", "sushi" ], "Canadian food": [ "burrito", "poutine", "tête-de-violon" ] }, "details": [{ "appIDs": [ "ABCDEF.com..example.restaurant" ], "components": [ { "/": "$(lang)_CA/$(Canadian food)/", "percentEncoded": false } { "/": "$(lang)_CA/$(food)/", "exclude": true } { "/": "$(lang)_$(region)/$(food)/" } ] }] } }
- Universal Links Workflow
- After download of an app the system checks its entitlements to see if it needs any app-association files, and downloads them
- App association files can now be downloaded in parallel by connecting to an Apple CDN instead of opening one connection per downloaded app
- CDN is dedicated to associated domains
- CDN uses single HTTP/2 connection for all associated domains on a device
- CDN Reduces load on your server
- CDN routes devices to a known-good, known-fast connection
- Alternate Modes for internal domains not reachable from an Apple CDN
- Managed Mode when distributing within your organization (see What's New in Managing Apple Devices (WWDC20))
- System trusted root certificate
- MDN admin must opt-in
- Works using any profile
- Developer Mode when building your app
- Use any SSL certificate
- User must opt-in from
iOS Settings > Developer > Associated Domains Development
or for macOS using the commandswcutil developer-mode -e true
- Only works using a development profile
- Server path for all modes:
https://example.com/.well-known/apple-app-site-association
- Specify domains for different modes in the entitlements as
<string>applinks:testing.example.com?mode=developer</string>
(or?mode=managed
or?mode=developer+managed
) in an array under the keycom.apple.developer.associated-domains
- Managed Mode when distributing within your organization (see What's New in Managing Apple Devices (WWDC20))

- Best practices
- Focus on essential tasks
- Limit the features. Reserve complex features for your app
- Require all assets for initial experience
- Do not include splash screens
- Avoid requiring people to sign up before finishing their task
- Only ask for location and notification permissions if needed (more on this below)
- Make sure your App Clip has the same name and icon as your app
- Put shared assets in a shared asset catalog
- Authentication
- Support Sign in with Apple
- Use
ASWebAuthenticationSession
for other federated login - Offer username and password login for existing users
- Offer "Sign In With Apple" upgrade in the app
- For privacy reasons, and because App Clips are ephemeral, some contents are not available to App Clips, such as HealthKit info
- App Clips can request permission to use Bluetooth, the camera, and microphone
- Streamlining Transactions
- 2 new types of ephemeral permissions: Location and Notification
- Allows App Clips to check if the user is within a region, without prompting for location permission
- Add
NSAppClipRequestLocationConfirmation
with valuetrue
in yourInfo.plist
to enable this - Supports checking a region with a radius of up to 500 meters
- Add
- Allows App Clips to send notifications for up to 8 hours after each launch, without prompting for notification permission.
- Add
NSAppClipRequestEphemeralUserNotification
with valuetrue
in your Info.plist to enable this - Check the authorization status in the
NotificationSettings
, under the new.ephemeral
status
- Add
- Users can explicitly disable these permissions via App Clip settings panel
- App Clips can prompt the user for full Location and Notifications access, although discouraged
- Allows App Clips to check if the user is within a region, without prompting for location permission
- Strongly suggest using ApplePay
- Strongly suggest using "Sign In With Apple"
- Use
AuthenticationServices
API to sign your users in without showing a login screen (assuming they have already previously signed up in your website for instance)
- 2 new types of ephemeral permissions: Location and Notification
- Transition users to your app
- iOS suggests downloading your app from App Clip experiences, banners and App Clip settings
- You can embed
StoreKit
SKOverlay
in a view- Suggestion: display this overlay only after the user finishes their task, e.g. after payment
- Transfer data on device with a secure App Group
- Only accessible between your App Clip and your app
- Once user downloads the app, the App Group will be transferred to the app after the App Clip is deleted
- Migrate your "Sign In With Apple" session from your App Clip by persisting the user ID in the secure App Group. Use
ASAuthorizationAppleIDProvider
to verify the user's session without prompting UI

- Intro
- App Clips provide entry points to your users to experience your app with minimal friction.
- Use deep-linked navigation to present the App Clip
- User Quest
- User is in a smoothie shop. They see an NFC tag and tap it using the phone.
- An app clip shows up on the phone's lockscreen with summarized detail about that smoothie.
- User taps "open" and a single screen of your app shows up.
- User can then proceed to the payment via Apple Pay.
- Activation
- Tapping NFC tags or scanning QR codes - they're just deep links after all (a URL)
- Maps and Siri Nearby Suggestions (for registered businesses)
- Smart app banner in your website (shown in Safari and Messages)
- Apple App Clip codes will be introduced later this year (it's a prettified QR code)
- If the user already has the your app installed, following an App Clip link will open the full app instead.
- Setup
- Configure web server and App Clip for link handling
- Web Server: Update the apple-app-site-association file
- App Clip: Add associated domains entitlement and handle NSUserActivity
- Configure App Clip default and advanced experiences on App Store Connect
- Layout requirements:
- Title: 18 chars limit
- Subtitle: 43 chars limit
- Image:
- Size: 3000 x 2000px
- Aspect Ratio: 3:2
- Format: png/jpg
- Transparency: No
- Best Practices
- URL mapping is based on most specific prefix match against registered App Clip experience URLs
- Your App Clip must be able to launch using an exact registered URL. For example:
- App registers https://bikesrental.com/rent instead of https://website.com/rent?bikeID=2
- When receiving https://website.com/rent?bikeID=2, it should be able to deliver the https://website.com/rent App Clip
- App is responsible for parsing the remaining arguments and presenting the specific bike with ID 2
- You can also register a more specific URL if you want to provide a different and more specific App Clip experience for it
- Layout requirements:
- Configure the Smart App Banner to open App Clip (add this if the content of your web page can be delivered as a better and more streamlined app experience)
- Add/update your website's HTML to add the Smart App Banner meta tag
- Configure web server and App Clip for link handling
- Test
- Specify an App Clip URL under the
_XCAppClipURL
environment variable to launch App Clip from Xcode - TestFlight - new App Clips section in App Store Connect
- Specify an App Clip URL under the

- Create
File > New Swift Package
- Replace template-added targets and add a binary target
- Compute the checksum using
swift package compute-checksum Emoji-1.0.0.xcframework.zip
- Set
Build Libraries for Distribution
build setting - Archive each variant
xcodebuild -create-xcframework
- See 2019 session "Binary frameworks in Swift" or read the session notes which is way quicker
- Create
- Tradeoffs of Binary Dependencies
- Harder to debug since source code is missing
- You won't be able to compile for your specific platform if not included by the author

- Today people share precise location data
- In iOS 14, Core Location allowing users to control and share their approximate location
- All kinds of apps will be impacted by this change (even Apple's apps)
- How to adapt the app to work without precise location?
- Prioritize user control
- Give everyone control over their location data they share and respect their preferences
- Don't require precise location
- Replace precise data with approximate where possible
- Identify where else you use precise location and remove non-essential uses of precise location
- Build trust through transparency
- Communicate with people about what data your app uses and how that data is used
- Make status easy to access
- Allow users to change their decision
- Offer proportional value
- Only ask for precise location when you really need it
- Request precise location in response to user action
- Position the request close to the value it provides
- Consider checking out these two sessions to get detailed information

- Leveraging type inference
- A type can be inferred by the compiler given the context surrounding a variable or function
- SwiftUI code relies on type inference for reusable views
- A demo is presented showing a SwiftUI component being built using generics
- How type inference works in compiler
- Think of type inference as a puzzle
- It resolves the puzzle by filling in the missing pieces using clues from the source code
- Solving one puzzle can give the compiler more clues on how to solve other puzzles
- Type inference errors
- If a puzzle can't be solved, there's an error in the source code
- During type inference, the compiler will record information about errors in source code
- Compiler uses heuristics to attempt to fix errors in order to continue type inference
- Once type inference is done, the compiler will provide actionable error messages based on collected information (some errors might have auto-fixes)
- Swift 5.3 and Xcode 12 improved error handling a lot, showing more meaningful and reliable error messages
- Using Swift and Xcode to fix compile errors
- The compiler will leave breadcrumbs about what the compiler was doing when it found an error
- This can help you connect the dots between the error you're seeing on the editor and other files in your project
- Hold ⌥ + ⇧ on an error breadcrumb and drag it to the right of the source editor, to open the source editor and the breadcrumbs details side by side

- Xcode 11.4 - Swift 5.2
- Xcode 12 (beta) - Swift 5.3
- Runtime Performance
- Code Size
- Code size is the part of the app that represents the machine code representation of the app's logic
- Swift 5.3 is below 1.5 times the code size of Objective-C version (based on app that ships with iOS)
- Size difference is inevitable because of Swift safety features
- SwiftUI app binary code size can be reduced by 40% (based on MoviesSwiftUI app)
- Memory Layout
- Comparing models with three properties in Obj-C (
NSUUID
,NSString
andfloat
) and Swift (UUID
,String
,Float
) - In Obj-C, object variables are just pointers which then hold a pointer to their properties
- Swift's use of value types avoid the need to access values via pointers (UUID and Strings)
- Significant memory benefit because it is allocated directly within array storage (contiguous block of memory)
- Heap memory use comparison: 20kB in Swift 5.1 vs 35kB in Obj-C (400 models in array)
- Swift's Standard Library now is below Foundation in the stack which means it can be used to develop low-level frameworks for Objective-C frameworks where previously C has to be used!
- Comparing models with three properties in Obj-C (
- Code Size
- Diagnostics
- New diagnostics in the Swift compiler result in more precise and actionable errors
- Additional notes in error messages (SwiftUI as an example)

- Symptoms
- Developers can now track symptoms in HealthKit, read and write symptom samples
- HealthKit attempted to cover and track a wide range of symptoms (shortness of breath, sleep changes, appetite changes, fever, headache, etc.)
- There are 13 symptom data types in HealthKit
- Electrocardiogram (ECG)
- ECG samples will be available for reading in the latest version of iOS and watchOS
- An ECG sample can be read as an
HKElectrocardiogram
(it represents a waveform as a series of voltage values) - ECG sample has important properties that describe the measurements
- classification (
HKElectrocardiogram.Classification
)- Apple Watch will give the result of the recording in the form of a classification
- The classification is divided into 2 types
- Sinus Rhythm (heart is beating in a uniform pattern)
- Atrial fibrillation (form of irregular rhythm, user should probably go see their doctor)
- If Apple Watch is unable to determine the ECG result, either due to a low or a high heart rate or due to any other reason, the result is considered inconclusive
- symptomStatus (
HKElectrocardiogram.SymptomsStatus
)- It tells if the user associated a symptom with this ECG (e.g. heartburn, tightness in the chest)
- The symptom experienced can be recorded along with the ECG
- averageHeartRage (
HKQuantity?
) - samplingFrequence (
HKQuantity?
) - numberOfVoltageMeasurements (
Int
)- It refers to the individual voltage measurements that make up an ECG sample
HKElectrocardiogramQuery
- To retrieve the individual measurements run the
HKElectrocardiogramQuery
- Fetch the ECG samples with any of the HealthKit queries and then initialize the
HKElectrocardiogramQuery
with the fetched sample - When this query is executed on the HealthStore, you get the individual voltage measurements back in the ECG and the data handler
- To retrieve the individual measurements run the

- The Testing Feedback Loop
- Write tests > run tests > Interpret result >if sufficient confidence [ > Next task] else go back to write tests
- Short feedback loops is important because that means you get results from your tests faster, you can ship features to your users faster.
- Real world example: Result bundle from that CI job, which never finished. Due to dead lock, poorly chosen timeout.
- Execution Time Allowance [NEW in XCode 12]
- When enabled, Xcode enforces a limit on the amount of time each individual test can take. When a test exceeds this limit, Xcode will first capture spin dump, then kill the test that hung, restart the test runner, so that the rest of the suite can execute.
- A spin dump shows you which functions each thread is spending the most time in. It's also possible to manually capture spin dump from Terminal using the spin dump command or from within Activity Monitor.
- By default, each test gets 10 minutes. If you need to a specific test or test class, you can use the
executionTimeAllowance
API to special case a particular test or subclass. For values under 60 seconds, they'll be rounded up to 60 seconds, the nearest whole minute. - Prevent a test requests unlimited time by enforcing a maximum allowance.
- You can customize the default time allowance and a maximum allowance either via a setting in the Test Plan or through an Xcodebuild option.
- Use
XCTest
's performance APIs to automate testing for regressions in the performance. Use Instruments to identify what parts of your code are slow,
- Parallel Distributed Testing
- Xcode build will distribute tests to each run destination by class. Each device runs a single test class at a time.
- If you're testing logic that is device or OS specific, this can lead to unexpected failures or skipped tests.
