SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers write safe, performant, and maintainable concurrent code in Swift by providing expert guidance on Swift Concurrency, async/await, actors, and related best practices.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Best Practices: Learn optimal patterns for async/await, actors, tasks, and Sendable conformance.
  • Migration Guidance: Get advice on migrating to Swift 6 and adopting modern concurrency.
  • Debugging: Understand and resolve common concurrency-related errors and warnings.
  • Use Case: A developer is struggling with data races in their iOS app and needs to understand how to use actors and Sendable to protect shared state, or how to refactor legacy callback-based networking code to use async/await.

Quick Start

Use the swift-concurrency skill to understand how to protect shared mutable state using actors.

FAQPage Schema
How do I fix data races in Swift using actors and Sendable?

To fix data races in Swift, use actors to isolate shared mutable state and add Sendable conformance to safely pass data across concurrent tasks. This prevents thread safety issues and concurrent access violations.

What is the best way to migrate legacy callback-based code to Swift async/await?

Migrating legacy callback-based code to Swift async/await requires refactoring closures into async functions and using tasks to bridge asynchronous operations. This modernization improves code readability and error handling.

When should I use @MainActor in Swift concurrency?

Use @MainActor in Swift concurrency to isolate UI updates and ensure tasks execute on the main thread. It prevents data races when updating shared state and maintains thread safety for user interface operations.

How does Swift 6 affect Sendable conformance and actor isolation?

Swift 6 enforces strict Sendable conformance and actor isolation at compile time to eliminate data races. This migration requires explicit annotations to ensure safe concurrent code execution across asynchronous tasks.

Why am I getting Sendable warnings when passing closures between tasks?

Sendable warnings occur when passing non-Sendable closures between Swift concurrent tasks. Resolve these by making types Sendable, using actors for isolation, or refactoring closures to async/await for safe cross-task data sharing.
