i have macos 15 and xcode 16 swift 6 and want to make apps
to run on macintosh.
i know the syntax of this programming language, but i need
informations like which libraries i have to import for func's
which name i do not know, and parameters i have not found
on websites or the tutorial on swift.
i need procedures like
open window at x,y,width,height
draw rectangle at x,y,width,height,color
draw text at x,y,width,height,color,size
read keyboard-letter,up/dn,shift
read mouse x,y,buttons
Dive into the world of programming languages used for app development.

I have a problem with the following code, I am not being notified of changes to the progress property of my Job object, which is @Observable... This is a command-line Mac application (the same code works fine in a SwiftUI application).
I must have missed something?
do {
let job = AsyncJob()
withObservationTracking {
let progress = job.progress
} onChange: {
print("Current progress: \(job.progress)")
}
let _ = try await job.run()
print("Done...")
} catch {
print(error)
}
I Try this without any success:
@main
struct MyApp {
static func main() async throws {
// my code here
}
}
When calling a perl script from an apple script (by dropping a file on it), I get the error:
Can't load '/Library/Perl/5.34/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/Encode/Encode.bundle' for module Encode: dlopen(/Library/Perl/5.34/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/Encode/Encode.bundle, 0x0001): tried: '/Library/Perl/5.34/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/Encode/Encode.bundle' (mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have 'arm64', need 'x86_64')), '/System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/OS/Library/Perl/5.34/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/Encode/Encode.bundle' (no such file), '/Library/Perl/5.34/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/Encode/Encode.bundle' (mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have 'arm64', need 'x86_64')) at /System/Library/Perl/5.34/XSLoader.pm line 96. at /Library/Perl/5.34/darwin-thread-multi-2level/Encode.pm line 12.
When I call the script manually from terminal, it runs fine.
Why is Applescript running as X86 on M2?

Hi,
Considering this method I'd like to test:
public func play(_ soundFileName: String, shouldLoop: Bool) {
Task {
await dataSource.play(soundFileName, shouldLoop: shouldLoop)
}
}
Previously, with XCTest we could use an expectation and wait for it to be fulfilled:
func test()
sut.play("", shouldLoop: false)
wait(for: [mockedAudioPlayerDataSource.invokedPlayExpectation])
XCTAssertEqual(mockedAudioPlayerDataSource.invokedPlayCount, 1)
With Swift Testing, I am unsure what a unit test looks like.
Hi!
I'm trying to implement Swift 6 in my code but can't fix one problem.
Here is my code example which could be run in playground:
import UIKit
import WatchConnectivity
public final class MulticastDelegate<T>: Sendable {
nonisolated(unsafe) private var delegates = [WeakWrapper]()
public init() { }
public var isEmpty: Bool {
return delegates.isEmpty
}
public func addDelegate(_ delegate: T) {
let wrapper = WeakWrapper(value: delegate as AnyObject)
delegates.append(wrapper)
}
public func removeDelegate(_ delegate: T) {
delegates = delegates.filter { $0.value !== delegate as AnyObject }
}
public func invokeDelegates(_ invocation: (T) -> Void) {
for (index, delegate) in delegates.enumerated().reversed() {
if let delegate = delegate.value as? T {
invocation(delegate)
} else {
delegates.remove(at: index)
}
}
}
public func invokeDelegatesCheckingResponse(_ invocation: (T) -> Bool) -> Bool {
var isHandled = false
for delegate in delegates {
if let delegate = delegate.value as? T {
if invocation(delegate) {
isHandled = true
break
}
}
}
return isHandled
}
private final class WeakWrapper: Sendable {
nonisolated(unsafe) weak var value: AnyObject?
init(value: AnyObject) {
self.value = value
}
}
}
@globalActor public actor WatchActor {
public static var shared = WatchActor()
}
@MainActor
@objc public protocol WatchCommunicatorDelegate: NSObjectProtocol {

}
@WatchActor
@objc public final class WatchCommunicator: NSObject {
private let multicastDelegate = MulticastDelegate<WatchCommunicatorDelegate>()
}
extension WatchCommunicator: @preconcurrency WCSessionDelegate {
public func session(_ session: WCSession, activationDidCompleteWith activationState: WCSessionActivationState, error: (any Error)?) {
multicastDelegate.invokeDelegates { delegate in
Task { @MainActor in
delegate.watchCommunicatorDidRequestDataUpdate?(self)
}
}
}
public func sessionDidBecomeInactive(_ session: WCSession) {
}
public func sessionDidDeactivate(_ session: WCSession) {

}
I want to work with WatchCommunicator in global actor and WatchCommunicatorDelegate should be call in main actor and should have reference to WatchCommunicator.
Help please
I have a workspace with my project and a Swift Macro. When I use the "Build Documentation" command the build fails with this error:
fatal error: module map file '/Users/me/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Project-fmdkuqlofexbqdhhitpgjnoqzyrz/Build/Intermediates.noindex/GeneratedModuleMaps-iphoneos/Macros.modulemap' not found
Is there a way around this?
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
I want to be able to write a cross-platform screensaver that works on both Windows and macOS using the Pygame 2D graphics library in Python. On Windows, this is super easy - you just write your program with three possible command line arguments: /p for preview mode, /c for the configuration dialog mode, and /s for the actual full-screen screensaver mode. Then you just use pyinstaller to build an .exe file and rename the extension to .scr, and you're good to go. However, it seems that making a screensaver on macOS is a pretty convoluted process, and there was stuff about specific Objective-C functions that you had to write, and I didn't really understand the documentation. Could you please tell me if there is any way to simply get my Python Pygame program to build as a proper .saver file? Thanks!
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.

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.
I have a string of the form “Mon 22nd April”. I’m trying to extract the day (i.e. Mon), the date (i.e. 22nd) and the month (i.e. April) using this Applescript:
set originalDateString to “Mon 22nd April”
-- Extract the components by splitting the string
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to " "
set dayOfWeekAbbrev to text item 1 of originalDateString
set dayOfMonth to text item 2 of originalDateString
set monthName to text item 3 of originalDateString
When I run this on its own it works as expected:
dayOfWeekAbbrev is set to “Mon”
dayOfMonth is set to “22nd”
monthName is set to “April”
When I run this inside a bigger script involving Numbers, the text item delimiters fails to work, no compile or run time errors occur and I end up with:
dayOfWeekAbbrev is set to “M”
dayOfMonth is set to “o”
monthName is set to “n”
I.e the first three characters of the string.
If I replace originalDateString with the literal string “Mon 22nd April” I get the same result. In other words, text items and being recognized as individual characters, no delimiter (or delimiter is null). Totally confused.
In WWDC 2023 there was a good summary of how to handle the iOS 17 Observation capability.
But despite the clear graphics, it was still ambiguous (for me.)
I want to inject a class (view-model) so that it can be used in the complete view heirarchy, and used in bindings to allow bi-directional communication.
As far as I can tell there are 2 ways of declaring the VM (alternatives 1 and 2 in my code), and 2 ways of consuming the VM in a view (alternatives 3 and 4 in my code). Using the flow-diagram I can't determine which is best.
Here's the crux of my #Observable problem.
import SwiftUI
// MARK: - Model
struct MyMod {
var title = "Hello, World!"
}
// MARK: - MVV
@Observable
class MyMVV {
var model: MyMod
init() {
self.model = MyMod()
}
}
// MARK: - App
@main
struct MyApp: App {
@Bindable var myGlobalMVV = MyMVV() // Alternative 1
// @State var myGlobalMVV = MyMVV() // Alternative 2
var body: some Scene {
WindowGroup {
ContentView()
.environment(myGlobalMVV) // inject
}
}
}
struct ContentView: View {
var body: some View {
ContentDeepHierarchyView()
}
}
struct ContentDeepHierarchyView: View {
@Environment(MyMVV.self) var myGlobalMVV // digest
var body: some View {
@Bindable var myLocalMVV = myGlobalMVV // Alternative 3
TextField("The new title", text: $myLocalMVV.model.title) // Alternative 3
TextField("The new title", text: Bindable(myGlobalMVV).model.title) // Alternative 4
}
Opinions?

Hi, I have issue on build my react native project and got this error "Undefined symbol: _swift_willThrowTypedImpl" how can I fix it?
This is one of the worst errors you can encounter while developing with Xcode.
It looks like it's related to a problem inside the compiler itself: when there are lot of lines of code, it becomes unable to identify them all and start asking you to break down the code in smaller pieces.
Sometimes you can, sometimes not.
First of all, in your code there is FOR SURE an error, so in case of the second option, begin commenting entires sections of your code: this can lead to two options:
You commented a section that contains the error: Xcode give you the preview and you check the commented section to find the error
You commented enough code to let the compiler do its job, and you'll have the normal error reported in your code: again, fix it!
Once errors have been fixed, normally you can uncomment what you excluded and all will go up and ok again.
The most common errors that can lead to this behavior (but it's just a hint) are those involving parameters got or passed to other SwiftUI objects:
parameters label (mistyped, missing, exceeding)
parameters values (not $/& present, $/& present but not required)
parameters types (you passed a wrong type)
Well, I hope that this post could be useful to others that, like I did, are struggling a lot to understand the exact nature of this peculiar error.
Code well and Prosper!
We started building our project in XCode 16 only to find a super weird crash that was 100% reproducible.
I couldn't really understand why it was crashing, so I tried to trim down the problematic piece of code to something that I could provide in a side project. The actual piece of code crashing for us is significantly different, but this small example showcases the crash as well.
https://github.com/Elih96/XCode16CrashReproducer
our observation is, that this combination of async let usage + struct structure leads to a SIGABRT crash in the concurrency library.
In both the main project and the example project, moving away from async let and using any other concurrency mechanism fixes the crash.
This was reproducible only on Xcode 16 with iOS 15 set as minimum deployment for the target. It works fine on Xcode 15, and if we bump the min deployment to 16 on Xcode 16, it also runs fine. I've attached a small project that reproduces the error.
I'm sure I didn't provide the ideal reproduction scenario, but that's what I managed to trim it down to. Making random changes such as removing some properties from the B struct or remove the:
let _ = A().arrayItems.map { _ in "123" }
will stop the crash from happening, so I just stopped making changes.

I've just upgraded to Xcode 16 and my app now fails when attempting to read a text file from the main bundle. It finds the path but can't open the file so this snippet prints: "File read error for path: /private/var/containers/Bundle/Application/AABAD428-96BC-4B34-80B4-97FA80B77E58/Test.app/csvfile.csv"
This worked fine up to 15.4. Has something changed? Thanks.
class ViewController: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let bundle = Bundle.main
let path = bundle.path(forResource: "csvfile", ofType: "csv")!
do {
let content = try String(contentsOfFile: path, encoding: String.Encoding.ascii)
} catch {
print("File read error for path: \(String(describing: path))")
}
}
}
I use Kotlin Multiplayer Development to develop iOS applications. I access the methods in the Kotlin class of the shared module in the ContentView.swift file. Functions without parameters can be used normally, but functions with parameters cannot. For example, the 78th line of code on the left side of the screenshot works, but the 79th line does not. Can someone please tell me the reason? Thank you!
Hi To All.
I have recently started a course that will teach me how to use C++ coding, so I can improve my career prospects.
I have come across an obstacle when it comes to downloading a programming tool and that is, they are not compatible with Sequoia 1.15.1.
This includes Xcode, Clion, Codelite and Vs, I am at a crossroads in my decision making on how to overcome this problem please.
Can someone help withme with a solution please.
Thank you.
