SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers navigate the complexities of Swift 6's strict concurrency features, ensuring thread-safe, performant, and robust applications by guiding them through actor isolation, async/await, and data race prevention.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Concurrency Strategy: Guides decisions on when to adopt async/await, concurrency, or actors.
  • Error Debugging: Helps resolve common Swift concurrency errors like data races and actor isolation issues.
  • Sendable Types: Explains how to make types safe for concurrent access.
  • Use Case: Debugging a crash related to "Sending 'self' risks causing data races" when updating UI from a background network call.

Quick Start

Use the axiom-swift-concurrency skill to understand how to fix a data race error in my Swift code.

FAQPage Schema
How do I fix data race errors in Swift 6 strict concurrency?

To fix Swift 6 data race errors, you must adopt strict concurrency patterns using actor isolation and Sendable types. This ensures safe data handling across threads by preventing concurrent access to mutable state.

When should I use actors versus async/await in Swift?

Use Swift actors when you need to protect mutable state from concurrent access, and use async/await for managing asynchronous operations. Actors provide synchronization, while async/await structures the execution flow.

How do I make my Swift types Sendable for concurrent access?

Making Swift types Sendable requires ensuring they are safe for concurrent access across threads. You achieve this by conforming to the Sendable protocol, often by using value types or actor isolation.

Why does sending 'self' risk causing data races when updating UI from a background network call?

Sending 'self' risks causing data races because background network calls execute concurrently with the main UI thread. You must use actor isolation or Sendable conformances to safely pass data across these execution boundaries.

Can I adopt Swift 6 concurrency patterns progressively in an existing app?

You can adopt Swift 6 concurrency progressively by migrating single-threaded execution models to concurrent ones incrementally. This strategy involves isolating specific components with actors and gradually conforming types to Sendable.
