If you’ve ever dealt with Clock existentials, you may have noticed a slight imbalance between the sleep APIs for clocks and tasks.

Are you tired of writing ‘self’ in your closures, even after capturing it weakly? Well, good news for you! With the introduction of SE-0365, you can now allow implicit self for weak self captures, after self is unwrapped.This update is a significant step towards simplifying the closure syntax and making our code more concise and readable.

This means that they will stay together in the sorted array, maintaining their original order. The update marks them as stable, ensuring that if two elements in an array are considered to be equal, they will remain in the same relative order in the sorted array.

SE-0372 is also bringing in some fantastic changes to Swift’s sorting functions.

This update is a game-changer and will make handling larger integer types an absolute breeze.

The new StaticBigInt type in SE-0368, will pave the way for adding even more integer types in the future.

For instance, in the example below, the backDeployed attribute ensures that greet() function will be available for use on iOS versions 13.0 to 16.0.

This means developers can use backDeployed to ensure the smooth functioning of their app on older versions of iOS, without compromising on newer versions. With the new backDeployed(before: …) attribute, developers can indicate that a copy of the function should be emitted into the client, to be used at runtime when executing on an OS prior to the version identified with the before: argument.

Swift brings a new feature to the table with SE-0376, allowing for smooth backwards compatibility for functions, methods, and subscripts.Swift 5.8 is set to release with a host of new features and improvements, including implicit self for weak self captures, conditional compilation for attributes, and the addition of the new type StaticBigInt to the standard library. With in-depth coverage of Swift, AutoLayout, SwiftUI, Multithreading, Memory management so on and so forth, this book is a treasure trove of knowledge for anyone looking to uplift their iOS development career. This book is an indispensable tool for anyone looking to crack the iOS interview and impress their future employers with their technical prowess.

'Uplift iOS Interview' is a comprehensive guide to help aspiring iOS developers soar to new heights in their careers.
