What problem does it solve?

Swift concurrency errors and data races slow down development and degrade reliability. This guide helps teams review and remediate concurrency usage in Swift 6.2+ projects to improve safety and maintainability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Triage and diagnose concurrency issues across a codebase, capturing compiler diagnostics, actor contexts, and default isolation settings.
  • Apply the smallest safe fixes to improve safety: annotate with @MainActor, add Sendable conformance, create isolated conformances, guard shared mutable state, and migrate completion handlers to async/await.
  • Validate fixes with full rebuilds and tests, ensuring no regressions and maintainable concurrency improvements.

Quick Start

Provide a minimal patch to fix a data race by adding appropriate actor isolation and Sendable conformance, then run the test suite to confirm safety.

FAQPage Schema
How do I fix Swift concurrency data race errors in my codebase?

Fix Swift concurrency data race errors by applying minimal safe patches such as annotating types with @MainActor, adding Sendable conformance, and creating isolated conformances to ensure thread-safe access to shared mutable state.

What is the best way to migrate completion handlers to async/await in Swift 6.2+?

Migrate completion handlers to async/await in Swift 6.2+ by replacing older callback patterns with modern async functions, then validating the changes through full project rebuilds and test runs to ensure no regressions.

Does actor isolation help with data-race safety in Swift libraries and frameworks?

Actor isolation helps with data-race safety in Swift libraries and frameworks by restricting mutable state access to a single actor context, ensuring concurrent operations do not conflict and maintaining codebase maintainability.

How do I triage and diagnose concurrency issues across a Swift project?

Triage and diagnose concurrency issues across a Swift project by capturing compiler diagnostics, evaluating actor contexts, and reviewing default isolation settings to identify where data races occur and what requires Sendable conformance.

Why does Sendable conformance fail when refactoring Swift code for concurrency?

Sendable conformance fails during refactoring when types contain mutable non-isolated state or capture non-Sendable references across actor boundaries, requiring you to add actor isolation or restrict mutable state access to ensure safe concurrency.

Can I use this approach to review Swift concurrency in UI apps?

You can review Swift concurrency in UI apps by applying the smallest safe fixes to annotate UI-bound types with @MainActor, ensuring thread-safe access to mutable state and verifying changes through rebuilding and test runs.
