Hello, I want to use Automatic Grammar Agreement to localise a string in my app, let say "three remaining activities". The string "three" is obtained by using a NumberFormatter with a numberStyle set to .spellOut (so I'm not using an Integer) var formatter: NumberFormatter = NumberFormatter() formatter.numberStyle = .spellOut let formattedCount: String = numberFormatter.string(from: count as NSNumber)! Text("key_with_string_\(formattedCount)") In my string catalog, I have translated the key key_with_string_%@ like this ^[%@ remaining activity](inflect: true), but it does not work. I've tried to add the integer value used by the number formatter in the key key_with_string_%@_%lld but it does not work. Should Automatic Grammar Agreement work normally just by using the formatted string provided by the NumberFormatter? If not, is there a way to specify to use a secondary variable (my count integer) to switch between different categories like one and other automatically? Thanks ! Axel

Hello everyone, I'm encountering an issue with Swift and C++ interoperability when passing a void pointer between Swift and C++ functions. When I pass pMessageBuffer (an UnsafeMutableRawPointer) from Swift to MyCppClass.NFCompletion (a static c++ function), which expects a reference to void pointer, Swift throws an error "Cannot convert value of type 'UnsafeMutableRawPointer' to expected argument type 'Optional' ". Here is a sample code to help in better visualization of the usecase. Cpp Code class MyCppClass { public: static void SendData(void *pMessage, TUInt16 pMessageLength) { // Assume vSocket is my Swift object held in C++. vSocket.Send(pMessage, pMessageLength); } static void NFCompletion(void * & pBuffer, TInt64 pErrorCode, VPtr pCompletionFunction) { // Process the buffer. } }; Swift Code: public class MySwiftClass { var vConnection: NWConnection? public init() {} public func Send(_ pMessageBuffer: UnsafeMutableRawPointer, _ pMessageLength: TSUInt16) { let messageData = Data(bytesNoCopy: pMessageBuffer, count: Int(pMessageLength), deallocator: .none) self.vConnection?.send(content: messageData, completion: .contentProcessed { nw_error in var error_code: TSInt64 = 0 if let nw_error = nw_error { error_code = self.InternalGetNetworkErrorCode(nw_error) } // Here's where the issue arises: MyCppClass.NFCompletion(pMessageBuffer, TInt64(error_code), self.uCompletionHandler) }) } // Example function to handle network errors private func InternalGetNetworkErrorCode(_ error: Error) -> TSInt64 { // Implementation to convert nw_error to TSInt64 error code return 0 // Placeholder return value } } Could someone please help me understand why this conversion error occurs? How should I correctly handle passing a void pointer between Swift and C++ functions, ensuring compatibility and proper memory management? Note: TSInt64 is typealias for swift Int and TInt64 is alias of c++ int_64t. Thank you in advance for your assistance! Regards, Harshal

I have a Matrix structure as defined below for working with 2D numerical data in Accelerate. The underlying numerical data in this Matrix struct is stored as an Array. struct Matrix<T> { let rows: Int let columns: Int var data: [T] init(rows: Int, columns: Int, fill: T) { self.rows = rows self.columns = columns self.data = Array(repeating: fill, count: rows * columns) } init(rows: Int, columns: Int, source: (inout UnsafeMutableBufferPointer<T>) -> Void) { self.rows = rows self.columns = columns self.data = Array(unsafeUninitializedCapacity: rows * columns) { buffer, initializedCount in source(&buffer) initializedCount = rows * columns } } subscript(row: Int, column: Int) -> T { get { return self.data[(row * self.columns) + column] } set { self.data[(row * self.columns) + column] = newValue } } } Multiplication is implemented by the functions shown below. import Accelerate infix operator .* func .* (lhs: Matrix<Double>, rhs: Matrix<Double>) -> Matrix<Double> { precondition(lhs.rows == rhs.rows && lhs.columns == rhs.columns, "Matrices must have same dimensions") let result = Matrix<Double>(rows: lhs.rows, columns: rhs.columns) { buffer in vDSP.multiply(lhs.data, rhs.data, result: &buffer) } return result } func * (lhs: Matrix<Double>, rhs: Matrix<Double>) -> Matrix<Double> { precondition(lhs.columns == rhs.rows, "Number of columns in left matrix must equal number of rows in right matrix") var a = lhs.data var b = rhs.data let m = lhs.rows // number of rows in matrices A and C let n = rhs.columns // number of columns in matrices B and C let k = lhs.columns // number of columns in matrix A; number of rows in matrix B let alpha = 1.0 let beta = 0.0 // matrix multiplication where C ← αAB + βC let c = Matrix<Double>(rows: lhs.rows, columns: rhs.columns) { buffer in cblas_dgemm(CblasRowMajor, CblasNoTrans, CblasNoTrans, m, n, k, alpha, &a, k, &b, n, beta, buffer.baseAddress, n) } return c } I can also define a Matrix structure where the underlying data is an UnsafeMutableBufferPointer. The buffer is handled by the MatrixData class. struct Matrix<T> { let rows: Int let columns: Int var data: MatrixData<T> init(rows: Int, columns: Int, fill: T) { self.rows = rows self.columns = columns self.data = MatrixData(count: rows * columns, fill: fill) } init(rows: Int, columns: Int) { self.rows = rows self.columns = columns self.data = MatrixData(count: rows * columns) } subscript(row: Int, column: Int) -> T { get { return self.data.buffer[(row * self.columns) + column] } set { self.data.buffer[(row * self.columns) + column] = newValue } } } class MatrixData<T> { var buffer: UnsafeMutableBufferPointer<T> var baseAddress: UnsafeMutablePointer<T> { get { self.buffer.baseAddress! } } init(count: Int, fill: T) { let start = UnsafeMutablePointer<T>.allocate(capacity: count) self.buffer = UnsafeMutableBufferPointer(start: start, count: count) self.buffer.initialize(repeating: fill) } init(count: Int) { let start = UnsafeMutablePointer<T>.allocate(capacity: count) self.buffer = UnsafeMutableBufferPointer(start: start, count: count) } deinit { self.buffer.deinitialize() self.buffer.deallocate() } } Multiplication for this approach is implemented by the functions shown here. import Accelerate infix operator .* func .* (lhs: Matrix<Double>, rhs: Matrix<Double>) -> Matrix<Double> { precondition(lhs.rows == rhs.rows && lhs.columns == rhs.columns, "Matrices must have same dimensions") let result = Matrix<Double>(rows: lhs.rows, columns: lhs.columns) vDSP.multiply(lhs.data.buffer, rhs.data.buffer, result: &result.data.buffer) return result } func * (lhs: Matrix<Double>, rhs: Matrix<Double>) -> Matrix<Double> { precondition(lhs.columns == rhs.rows, "Number of columns in left matrix must equal number of rows in right matrix") let a = lhs.data.baseAddress let b = rhs.data.baseAddress let m = lhs.rows // number of rows in matrices A and C let n = rhs.columns // number of columns in matrices B and C let k = lhs.columns // number of columns in matrix A; number of rows in matrix B let alpha = 1.0 let beta = 0.0 // matrix multiplication where C ← αAB + βC let c = Matrix<Double>(rows: lhs.rows, columns: rhs.columns) cblas_dgemm(CblasRowMajor, CblasNoTrans, CblasNoTrans, m, n, k, alpha, a, k, b, n, beta, c.data.baseAddress, n) return c } Both of these approaches give me similar performance. The only difference that I have noticed is the matrix buffer approach allows for reference semantics. For example, the code below uses half the memory with the matrix buffer approach compared to the matrix array approach. This is because b acts as a reference to a using the matrix buffer approach; otherwise, the matrix array approach makes a full copy of a. let n = 10_000 let a = Matrix<Double>(rows: n, columns: n, fill: 0) var b = a b[0, 0] = 99 b[0, 1] = 22 Other than reference semantics, are there any reasons to use one of these approaches over the other?

Is it possible to access the RoomPlan API from Objective-C? I cannot figure out how to include the RoomPlan framework into some legacy Objective-C code I have. I can include the RoomPlan.h header but it still does not recognize any of the API classes. I also could not figure out if there was a way to use RoomPlan-Swift.h to expose the API to the Objective-C code.

if we define a property in the following way: @property (atomic) NSString *latestObject; Can we assume that the read write to that value is thread safe? i.e the value will be correct. Or it is better to write our own setter/getter with Locks?

Sorry this post is duplicate

White-label messaging is like a pre-made chat app that one company creates, but other companies can make it look like it’s their own by changing its appearance and name. Basically, it’s a chat tool that businesses can buy and use with their own branding.

Hello All, some background information first. I have the following struct: Struct Category: Identifiable, Codeable, Hashable { var id: UUID var name: String var subCategory: [Category]? } var categories: [Category] There is no limit how many levels deep the subcategory can be. The user is essentially creating a hierarchical data filing system. Given that the number of subCategory levels is unlimited, I am recursing over the subcategories to find the correct level at which to insert the newCategory. The recursive function to add category is declared as: func recursiveAddCategory(newCategory: Category, subCategoryOf: inout [Category]?) you will note that I am trying to pass the subCategory as a reference (using inout), so that I can add to the original and the function is called as recursiveAddCategory(newCategory, &categories.subCategory!) the actual append statement within the recursiveAddCategory function is: categories.subCategory?.append(newCategory) I am encountering no errors but also find that the newCategory is not being added to the categories array. Any help or guidance appreciated. Thanks

I am working thru the issues of turning on Strict Concurrency Checking. I have a SwiftData application, and I am compressing images before saving them as data. My save function is pretty simple private func save() { ImageCompressor.compress(image: (frontImageSelected?.asUIImage())!, maxByte: 1_048_576) { image in guard image != nil else { print("Error compressing image") return } if let greetingCard { greetingCard.cardName = cardName greetingCard.cardFront = image?.pngData() greetingCard.cardManufacturer = cardManufacturer greetingCard.cardURL = cardURL greetingCard.eventType = eventType } else { let newGreetingCard = GreetingCard(cardName: cardName, cardFront: image?.pngData(), eventType: eventType, cardManufacturer: cardManufacturer, cardURL: cardURL) modelContext.insert(newGreetingCard) } } } I compress the selected image, I had to change my ImageCompressor.compress closure to Sendable, but now every assignment above is flagging with the above warning. I define the greetingCard as var greetingCard: GreetingCard? in my view, since I can have it passed in for edit, or generated if new. I also get the same warning on modelContext, which is defined as @Environment(\.modelContext) private var modelContext. It's not clear to me how to address this warning. Any pointers would be helpful.

Hi, When using Swift Concurrency blocking tasks like file I/O, GPU work and networking can prevent forward moving progress and have the potential to exhaust the cooperative thread pool and under utilize the CPU. It's been recommended to offload these tasks from the cooperative thread pool. Is my understanding correct that the preferred way to do this is by creating async tasks via Dispatch or OperationQueue? And combining these with Continuations if a return value from the task is required? Or should I always be using Continuations in combination with Dispatch/OperationQueue? There are also Executors but the documentation seems a bit limited on how to use these. The new TaskExecutor is also only available on the latest beta's. My question is basically what is the recommend way to offload a task? Thanks!

For many years, I programmed for Windows desktops (Visual Basic and C# on Microsoft Visual Studio). What is a good way to start progrmming for an iOS or iPadOS device. What programming apps can you recommend and what books or courses can I get (online or otherwise) to start with? Can I make code with Microsoft Visual Studio or do I need specific programming tools for writing code? Thank you for your help. Michel

struct Preview: View { private static let NAME = "Test" @Query(filter: #Predicate<Item> { $0.name == Preview.NAME}) private var items: [Item] var body: some View { MyView(name: Preview.NAME, items: items) } } Compile error occurs: key path cannot refer to static member 'NAME' How can a (static) constant be referred in member closure?

In my method moveSun() it successfully rotates and plays the sound the first time it is called. However, subsequent calls to the method only play the sound and do not execute the rotate action. Does anyone know what may be causing this? Here's the relevant code: func moveSun() { print(sunMoving) let rotateAction = SKAction.rotate(toAngle: 2 * CGFloat.pi, duration: 2) let playGearSound = SKAction.playSoundFileNamed("spinningGear", waitForCompletion: true) let rotateAndPlayGearSound = SKAction.group([rotateAction, playGearSound]) sun.run(rotateAndPlayGearSound, completion: { self.sunMoving = false; print("completed completion handler") }) } override func touchesBegan(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) { for t in touches { self.touchDown(atPoint: t.location(in: self)) } } func touchDown(atPoint pos : CGPoint) { let touchedNodes = nodes(at: pos) for touchedNode in touchedNodes { print("touchNode: \(String(describing: touchedNode.name))") if touchedNode.name == "sun" && !sunMoving { sunMoving = true moveSun() } } }

I have the following var in an @Observable class: var displayResult: String { if let currentResult = currentResult, let decimalResult = Decimal(string: currentResult) { let result = decimalResult.formatForDisplay() UIAccessibility.post(notification: .announcement, argument: "Current result \(result)") return result } else { return "0" } } The UIAccessiblity.post gives me this warning: Reference to static property 'announcement' is not concurrency-safe because it involves shared mutable state; this is an error in Swift 6 How can I avoid this?

I'm trying to migrate my fairly large application to Swift Concurrency. I've have a class marked as @MainActor that sub-classes a 3rd party abstract class that is not migrated to Swift Concurrency. I get the following error: Main actor-isolated class 'MyClass' has different actor isolation from nonisolated superclass 'OtherAbstractClass'; this is an error in the Swift 6 language mode My class needs to be MainActor as it uses other code that is required to be on the MainActor. I can't see how to suppress this warning, I know as a guarantee that the abstract class will always be on the main thread so I need a way of telling the compiler that when I don't own the 3rd party code. import OtherAbstractModule @MainActor class MyClass: OtherAbstractClass { .... } How can I satisfy the compiler in this case?

Currently Swift Testing has much less features than XCTest, so the adoption will be very slow from our side. Notable features we miss are UI tests, performance tests and attachments. I did not want to create many issues in Swift Testing GitHub project as lots of these shortcoming are most probably tracked internally (I can see lots of references to radars in GitHub issues.) So, my question is: Is it a good idea to wait with wider adoption or should we experiment with other tools like swift Benchmarks?
