Overview
Review and fix Swift Concurrency issues in Swift 6.2+ codebases by applying actor isolation, Sendable safety, and modern concurrency patterns with minimal behavior changes.
Workflow
1. Triage the issue
- Capture the exact compiler diagnostics and the offending symbol(s).
- Check project concurrency settings: Swift language version (6.2+), strict concurrency level, and whether approachable concurrency (default actor isolation / main-actor-by-default) is enabled.
- Identify the current actor context (,
@MainActor,actor) and whether a default actor isolation mode is enabled.nonisolated - Confirm whether the code is UI-bound or intended to run off the main actor.
2. Apply the smallest safe fix
Prefer edits that preserve existing behavior while satisfying data-race safety.
Common fixes:
- UI-bound types: annotate the type or relevant members with .
@MainActor - Protocol conformance on main actor types: make the conformance isolated (e.g., ).
extension Foo: @MainActor SomeProtocol - Global/static state: protect with or move into an actor.
@MainActor - Background work: move expensive work into a async function on a
@concurrenttype or use annonisolatedto guard mutable state.actor - Sendable errors: prefer immutable/value types; add conformance only when correct; avoid
Sendableunless you can prove thread safety.@unchecked Sendable
