SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Swift 6.2 introduces a concurrency model that can lead to data races when code implicitly offloads work to background threads. By running most code on the calling actor by default, this Skill helps you write safer, more predictable concurrency patterns.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Single-threaded by default: Keep code simple and race-free; concurrency is opt-in.
  • Isolated conformances: MainActor types can safely conform to non-isolated protocols.
  • Explicit @concurrent for background work: Offload only CPU-intensive tasks when needed.
  • MainActor default inference mode: Reduce boilerplate by inferring actor isolation.
  • Global/state safety: Protect static/stateful code with explicit actor isolation.
  • Migration-friendly: Provides a path to adopt concurrency features incrementally.

Quick Start

Enable MainActor default inference and begin migrating code to isolated conformances and selective @concurrent offloading.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prevent data races in Swift 6.2 concurrency?

Prevent data races in Swift 6.2 by running code on the calling actor by default. This approach enables single-threaded execution by default, making background concurrency an explicit opt-in for safer patterns.

How do I migrate to Swift 6.2 concurrency safely?

Migrate to Swift 6.2 concurrency safely by adopting an incremental path. Enable MainActor default inference and progressively update older models to use isolated conformances and selective background offloading.

What is MainActor default inference mode in Swift?

MainActor default inference mode in Swift reduces boilerplate by automatically inferring actor isolation. It keeps code single-threaded and race-free by default, simplifying MainActor-centric app architectures.

Can MainActor types conform to non-isolated protocols in Swift 6.2?

Yes, MainActor types can conform to non-isolated protocols in Swift 6.2 using isolated conformances. This feature allows safe conformance without compromising single-threaded safety or requiring background thread offloading.

How do I offload CPU-intensive tasks in Swift 6.2?

Offload CPU-intensive tasks in Swift 6.2 using the explicit @concurrent attribute. This ensures your app remains single-threaded by default while safely executing background work only when specifically needed.

How do I protect static state in Swift concurrency?

Protect static state in Swift concurrency by applying explicit actor isolation to stateful code. This isolation prevents data races by ensuring global variables and static properties are accessed safely within isolated boundaries.
