After the XPC Updates from last year I am trying to understand what is possible with XPC on iOS. The documentation for XPCSession states it is available, but none of its initializers is. So how is one supposed to use it?
What is possible with XPC on iOS?

AFAIK the only supported use case for XPC by third-party developers on iOS is when communicating with file provider extensions.

You mean via the NSFileProviderService? I was not aware that this uses XPC under the hood.
Yes, and the NSFileProviderServiceSource protocol on the extension side. It’s not really an area I’ve explored in depth; I just saw the API go by.
