SwiftUI Adds New Document Protocol, Improves Performance, and More
Announced at WWDC 2026, the latest SwiftUI release brings a new Document protocol for efficient disk access and snapshot-based updates, along with improved APIs for reordering items in lists, grids, and sections. In addition, it expands presentation features, such as swipe actions on any view, better AsyncImage caching, and lazy state initialization for Observable types to boost performance.

They have moved toward a self-service, API-driven, multi-tenant infrastructure with clearer ownership and better abstractions.

Apple maintains an independent append-only hardware ledger and dual-vendor attestation roots. AWS and Azure are not part of the collaboration.
