Every time I read articles about SF Symbols, I’m amazed by the animations, the customization, and how polished everything looks. I think: maybe next year I’ll finally sneak them into a real app…
Spoiler: yeah… probably never. Most of these ideas live happily in pet projects and playgrounds.
Maybe there are some lucky people in this chat actually using them in production? If so — envy! As the year ends, here’s my little wish for all of us: may next year finally give us a project brave enough to let us play with them for real! 😎

Nice reminder about how .task behaves when it depends on a property that can change — and why adding an id makes all the difference.

Xcode 26 is out, so if you’re wondering whether to opt into Main Actor isolation in Swift 6.2, Donny Wals wrote a short piece that helps you weigh the pros and cons before flipping the switch.
For UI packages, main actor isolation makes sense since almost everything should run on the main thread.
For SPM packages like Networking, it’s less obvious — you might prefer to make types Sendable or design them as actors instead of forcing everything onto the main thread.
When in doubt, isolating to the main actor is usually a safe default — and you can always mark code that needs concurrency with @t later.

Apple docs are already frustrating and often not very helpful for developers, and on top of that, LLMs can barely make sense of them: try loading a page with an LLM and all it sees is a JavaScript error: “This page requires JavaScript. Please turn it on and refresh to view content.” The extra scripts and clutter make it nearly unreadable. 😦
Thankfully, Mattt from NSHipster created this service — it strips out the junk and turns docs into clean, AI-friendly Markdown. Just swap the domain and your LLM finally gets it.
Can’t help it… AI posts keep coming. 💥

In SwiftUI, we often use elements without thinking much about how they actually work. Usually, this isn’t a problem, but sometimes understanding the implementation details helps explain unexpected behaviors. This knowledge can also come in handy during interviews, where such questions occasionally pop up.
In this article, the author takes a closer look at how Namespace works under the hood and why these details might matter.
p.s. If you’re interested in similar deep dives, the author also has an article about the Spacer in SwiftUI.

For those considering Claude code, just a heads up: Gemini CLI is expected to be released today, and it looks like the free tier is more generous. Might be worth checking out first.

For anyone dealing with background tasks: BGContinuedProcessingTask in iOS 26 lets the system handle progress UI, so there’s less need for custom solutions or Live Activities. Worth looking into.

If you're using macros in your project, you're using SwiftSyntax, which can seriously inflate build times. But Xcode 16.4 brings good news: Apple introduced support for prebuilt SwiftSyntax binaries. This can noticeably cut down those agonizing compile times, especially in release builds.
defaults write com.apple.dt.Xcode IDEPackageEnablePrebuilts YES
Some numbers from the article:
Building the app for release takes about 226 seconds (almost 4 minutes!) without precompiled SwiftSyntax, whereas with precompiled takes just 45 seconds.

Paul Hudson recently prepared a good overview article about the new features in Swift 6.2 that affect changes in Swift Concurrency. But if we want to dive a bit deeper into them, Donny has written an article where you can better understand these changes and gradually start applying them in your own project. 🚀

We're barely over Swift 6.1, and Paul Hudson is already teasing us with potential goodies in Swift 6.2!
It's also great to see the Swift team continuing their efforts to simplify and improve strict concurrency. Honestly, I'm hopeful that with these changes, tackling that Swift 6 migration task might actually become a bit more manageable.
Here are a few potential features from the article that caught my eye and might interest you:
• Raw identifiers: This lets you use pretty much any string as a function or variable name by wrapping it in backticks. It’s not exactly BDD, but it definitely helps make test function names more readable:
func `Strip HTML tags from string`() {
// your test magic here
}
•
Method and Initializer Key Paths: You can now create key paths directly to methods and initializers, not just properties:
strings.map(\.uppercased())
•
Backtrace API: This gives you a way to programmatically get the current call stack. Super handy for custom error reporting and logging.
Backtrace.capture().symbolicated()
•
weak let: You'll be able to declare weak references as constants (`let`) if you know they won't change after being set.
•
Run `nonisolated async` functions on the caller's actor by default:
func logCurrentActor() async {
// Old: Runs everywhere
// New: Runs on the MainActor
}
@
func mainActorFunction() async {
await logCurrentActor()
}
•
Starting tasks synchronously from caller context: Introduces a new way to create tasks so they start immediately if possible:
print("Starting")
Task {
print("In Task")
}
Task.immediate {
print("In Immediate Task")
}
print("Done")
// prints: "Starting", "In Immediate Task", "Done", and "In Task".
•
Isolated synchronous `deinit`: This allows deinit methods to be actor-isolated, ensuring that cleanup code for actor-protected state can run safely on the actor's executor without data races.
•
Collection conformances for `enumerated()`: This is a nice cleanup, especially for SwiftUI, as you can often use it directly in ForEach or List without needing to wrap it anymore:
// Old:
List(Array(items.enumerated()), id: \.offset) {
Text("Index \($0.offset): \($0.element)")
}
// New:
List(items.enumerated(), id: \.offset) {
Text("Index \($0): \($1)")
}
•
Swift Testing: Attachments: It allows you to attach arbitrary data (like images or diffs) to your test results. XCTest has had attachments for ages, so it's good to see Swift Testing catching up here. Finally I can rewrite my snapshot tests.
