WWDC 2020 Session Notes

Thank You 🎉

Last years WWDC Session Notes was so successful that I decided to continue this form of WWDC session summary. I would like to take the moment to thank all of you for contribution, feedback, support and reading my session notes 🙏

Intro

Usually it is much faster to read through some bullet points instead of watching a 50 min session video. Then if you find something interesting you can still watch it.

Sessions that are exceptionally mentionable are highlighted using a ★.

This is work in progress since it is a lot of effort to watch all the videos by myself. So either please be patient or just open up an issue to make a suggestion which session notes you like to see next :)

Contribution

Feel free to submit a PR if I got something wrong or you have a suggestion for improvement. Please also have a look in CONTRIBUTING.md if you want to contribute.

Thanks so much to EVERYBODY who contributed and improved the overall quality of the notes and those who added complete notes to the list.

Mentions

This repo has already been mentioned many times on Twitter and apart from this also in the following places:

Introducing Car Keys

https://developer.apple.com/wwdc20/10006

Presenter: Matthias Lerch

People can unlock, lock and start their car (iPhone or Apple Watch)
Stored securely on the device and can be deleted via iCloud
Keys can be shared with the family or friends
Agnostic to radio technology (supports NFC so far)
Offline capable
Car needs to support:
- Owner pairing (association if iPhone and car)
  - Prove ownership of car
  - Initiate pairing
  - Place iPhone near car's NFC reader
  - Car key appears in Wallet
- Transactions (unlock, lock, start the car)
  - NFC readers in door handle and dashboard (engine start)
  - Optimized for security and performance
  - Express mode lets the feature work without Face ID or passcode (turned on by default)
  - iPhone and car can be offline
  - Apple doesn't know when you use your car
- Server Interfaces (key sharing, key management)
  - Share keys over Messages
  - Car can be offline when sharing
  - Apple doesn't know who you share your car key with
  - Optional access levels (e.g. 'Unlock and Drive', 'Access and drive up to 65 mph')
  - It's up to each auto maker to define access levels
Key management
- Manage owner and shared keys from iPhone or car
- Keys removed from a device stop working immediately (even if the device is offline)

- Automaker TSM (Trusted Service Manager) not required for simple server integration
- What is a digital car key?
  - Binded to the user's device and not to Apple or auto makers
  - Private key (SK) never leaves SE (Secure Element)
  - Public key is exported in an X.509 certificate for verification
  - Applet
    - Implements the car key in the Secure Element
    - Stores key pair, car public key, secure mailboxes
    - All car keys hosted in a single applet instance
  - Owner pairing flow (online)
    1. PAKE Verifier
    2. Pairing password
    3. Pairing
    4. Cryptographic linking
    5. Key activation/registration
    6. Key attestation
  - Key sharing flow
    1. Owner sends invitation using Messages
    2. New key crated in
    3. Identity certificate chain
    4. Owner verification
    5. Attestation returned
    6. Offline registration
  - Lifecycle of a car key
    - Created during owner pairing or key sharing
    - Transactions

Lists in UICollectionView

https://developer.apple.com/wwdc20/10026

Presenters: Michael Ochs

Lists in iOS 14 Collection Views present UITableView-like appearances in UICollectionView
Improved self-sizing support: now default when using lists in UICollectionView
- Build cells with AutoLayout and let collection view take over
- Override preferredLayoutAttributesFittingAttributes: on cell subclasses to exercise manual sizing
UICollectionLayoutListConfiguration
- The only new type required on the layout side to build lists in collection view
- Built on top of NSCollectionLayoutSection and UICollectionViewCompositionalLayout: check out Advances in Collection View Layout
- Adds two list-exclusive styles: .sidebar and .sidebarPlain for building multicolumn apps on iPadOS 14
- Options to show/hide separators and configure list headers/footers
Creating lists
- Easy way
  1. Create a UICollectionLayoutListConfiguration
  2. Create a UICollectionViewCompositionalLayout with the configuration
- Per-section setup
  1. Create a UICollectionLayoutListConfiguration
  2. Create a NSCollectionLayoutSection with the configuration
  3. Place the above code inside existing section provider initializer on compositional layout
  4. Customize the layout on a per section basis
Configuring list section headers/footers
- List headers/footers have to be explicitly enabled
  - Register headers/footers as supplementary views
    - Set header/footer configuration mode to 'supplementary'
    - Provide a supplementary view when rendering the header/footer on screen
  - Set headerMode to firstItemInSection (headers-only)
    - Configure the first collection view cell to look like a header
    - Recommended for hierarchical data structures and snapshot APIs: check out Advances in Diffable Data Source
    - Data source need to be aware of first cell being header
UICollectionViewListCell
- Subclass of UICollectionViewCell, can be used interchangeably
- Better support to configure separator insets and cell content indentations
- Features Swipe Actions
- Better accessories API
- Granted access to default system content/background configurations: check out Modern Cell Configuration
Separator Layout Guide
- Separators are supposed to line up with primary cell content
- Constrain this layout guide to the content: opposite of UIKit layout guides
  1. Configure the cell's layout
  2. Constrain the separator layout guide's leading anchor to cell's primary content's leading anchor
- Automatically handled when using system provided content configurations
Swipe Actions
- Only supported if the cell is rendered inside sections configured using a list configuration
- Override the leading/trailing swipe action's configuration getter to configure
- Caution: never capture the index path (unstable) of the cell being configured in action handler
  - Directly capture the data model
  - Capture a stable identifier of the cell:
    - Diffable Data Source and its stable item identifier
    - The new cell registration type in iOS 14: UICollectionViewListCell
Accessories API of list cells
- Options to configure both leading and trailing side of the cell
- Configure multiple accessories on the same side
- Functionalities on list cell accessories
  - Re-ordering accessory: cell is automatically in re-rodering mode when tapped
  - Delete accessory: cell automatically reveals configured trailing swipe actions when tapped
  - Outline disclosure accessory
    - Cell automatically communicate with the data source and expand/collapse its children when tapped
    - Requires the new section snapshot APIs: check out Advances in Diffable Data Source
Plenty of system defaults are provided while customizabilities are kept

Modern cell configuration

https://developer.apple.com/wwdc20/10027

Presenter: Tylor Fox

Getting started with configurations
- In iOS 13, we use the built-in imageView and textLabel properties on UITableViewCell to display an image and some text.
- In iOS 14, we use the content configuration to describe the cell appearance for a specific state
- This is how you configure a cell using a content configuration:
  - var content = cell.defaultContentConfiguration() This always returns a fresh configuration without any content set on it. Don't need to think about the old state at all.
  - Set the image and text on the content configuration.
  - cell.contentConfiguration = content As soon as we call this, the cell is updated to display the image and text that we specified.
- Same code to configure any cell and any view that supports content configurations.
- Composable, lightweight, very inexpensive to create and built for performance
Configuration types
- Background Configuration
  - let you set things such as background color, visual effect, stroke, insets, corner radius and custom view
- List Content Configuration
  - let you set things such as image, text, secondary text, layout metrics and behaviors
Configuration state
- Configuration state represents the various inputs that you use to configure your cells and views.
- Each cell, header and footer has its own configuration state.
- Two Types
  - View configuration state
    - Trait collection
    - 4 states: highlighted, selected, disabled and focused
    - Custom state: this is key-value storage to add any extra states or data that use to configuring your view.
  - Cell configuration state
    - Everything from the View configuration state
    - Editing, swiped, expanded
    - Drag and drop states
- When automaticallyUpdatesContentConfiguration is true, The cell automatically calls updated(for:) on its contentConfiguration when the cell’s configurationState changes, and applies the updated configuration back to the cell. The default value is true.
- When automaticallyUpdatesBackgroundConfiguration is true, the cell automatically calls updated(for:) on its backgroundConfiguration when the cell’s configurationState changes, and applies the updated configuration back to the cell. The default value is true.
- You can override updateConfiguration(using:) to manually update and customize the content configuration, disable automatic updates by setting this property to false. This method is called before your cell first displays and will be called anytime the configuration state have changed.

Meet WidgetKit

https://developer.apple.com/wwdc20/10028

Presenters: Nahir Khan, Neil Desai

Widgets are now used across all platforms
Great widgets are glancable, relevant and personalized
Smart stacks are collections of widgets and automatically show the right one on top using on-device intelligence
Widgets support configuration by tapping them - this is realized using intents similar to SiriKit
e.g. choosing the city in a Weather app
UI built entirely in SwiftUI
How WidgetKit works
- WidgetKit extensions are background extensions
- They return a series of view hierarchies in a time line
- Time line is sent to the home screen which presents the right view at the right time
- Since views are "ready" they can be re-used at different points in the system, e.g. the Widget Gallery
- Time line is refreshed from main app and updates are scheduled by extension
  - Imagine the Calendar time line for the day. One event is updated from Calendar, which then wakes up the extension and provides the new time line.
Building a Widget
- Single Widget Extension supports multiple kinds of widgets on different platforms
- Possible configurations: Static (Workout widget) or Intent-Based (Reminder widget that can be personalized)
- Supported Families: A widget can enable one or many of the following families: systemSmall, systemMedium, systemLarge
- Widget struct must conform to Widget and its body to WidgetConfiguration
- How to build a glancable experience
  - Widgets are not mini apps they rather project content on the home screen
  - No scrolling
  - No videos or animated images
  - Tap interactions to deep link into main app. Widget associable with a URL link using the widgetURL API (use the new Link API of SwiftUI)
  - Important new view types:
    - Placeholder
      - Should not contain user data
      - Great placeholder UIs show a representation of what kind your data is
    - Snapshot
      - Represent a single entry in time
      - Should return a view as quickly as possible
      - Used to display your widget in the gallery
      - Use it as the first entry in your time line so users get what they see in the gallery
    - Time line
      - Combination of views and dates
      - Output if WidgetKit extension is serialized to disk which enabled rendering of individual entries just in time
  - Reloads
    - Wake up the extension and ask for a new time line
    - Help to ensure that content is up to date
- Get a TimelineProvider by struct Provider: TimelineProvider
  - Implement func snapshot(...) and func timeline(...) for returning the respective data
  - Provide a reload policy at Time line cretion time to tell when the time line should be reloaded: atEnd, after(date: Date), never
- System determines the best time to reload the widget, e.g. based on:
  - Background notification
  - Significant time change
  - Changes in the app made by the user, e.g. new Calendar entry
- Use WidgetCenter.[reloadTimelines(ofKind:), reloadAllTimelined] to programmatically reload time lines
- Get current configurations with WidgetCenter.getCurrentConfigurations(completion:)
  - Use batch requests
  - Do not overuse networking from a widget
- Use onBackgroundURLSessionEvents modifier to launch a network task which delivers the result to your extension
  - Reloads are budgeted by the system, do not overuse them
- Personalization
  - Use the Intents framework, known from Siri, to customize the widgets behavior
  - Use the new In-App Intent Handling to answer requests from your widget
  - IntentConfiguration is used to power intent-based widget configurations
  - IntentTimelineProvider is used to generate specific time lines
- Intelligence
  - Widgets are displayed on the home screen by on-device intelligence
  - Your app can donate shortcuts
  - Widget extension can annotate time line entries using TimelineEntryRelevance with its score and duration properties

Data Essentials in SwiftUI

https://developer.apple.com/wwdc20/10040

Presenters: Curt Clifton, Luca Bernardi, Raj Ramamurthy

Getting Started
- Always ask you the following questions:
  - What data does my view need?
  - How will the view manipulate this date?
  - Where will the data come from?
- Immutable views, that just display data, contain only let properties
- Pull multiple properties in their own config object
  - The config object can contain functions to mutate its state
  - Using @State private var config: ConfigObject() to re-render your view after config changed
  - Let parent and sub views communicate over a single config object by sharing it using @Binding var config
  - Pass config down by marking the it as reference using the dollar symbol: SubView(config: $config)
Modeling Data Using ObservableObject
- Class-constrained protocol (only adoptable by reference types)
- Can be used to achieve super-custom behaviors, e.g. backing data by a service or server
- Conform by implementing var objectWillChange: Self.ObjectWillChangePublisher { get }
- Use to manage data life cycle, handle side-effects, integrate with existing components
- Will be your source of truth
- Doesn't need to be your full data model - split into multiple observable objects if your model is complex
- Use a single ObservableObject for all your views if your data model is simple
- Mark properties of your ObservableObject, your view is interested in as @Published var progress: Double
- How to create an ObservableObject dependency?
  - @ObservedObject
    - @ObservedObject var config: Configuration
    - You need to manage the objects ownership outside of your view
    - Create a binding to any value-type property of the ObservableObject to pass it into e.g. $config.isFinished a Toggle control and let it automatically update your view
  - @StateObject
    - SwiftUI owns the ObservableObject
    - Creation/destruction is tied to view's life cycle
    - Instantiated just before body runs
    - Use it to implement e.g. an ImageLoader: ObservableObject with a @published var image: Image property
    - Whenever @StateObject changes the view is re-rendered and thus populated with the image
  - EnvironmentObject
    - In SwiftUI you typically have a hierarchy of many modular sub views
    - To avoid a lot of boilerplate by passing around ObservableObject's pass it to .environmentObject(...) on your root view
    - Changes to it, from any view in the hierarchy, will be reflected in any other view
SwiftUI Performance Considerations
- Avoid slow view updates
  - Make view initializers cheap, e.g. no dispatches
  - Make body a pure function
  - Avoid assumptions
- New event sources: onChange, onOpenURL, onContinueUserActivity - run on main thread
Who owns the data?
- Share data in a common ancestor
- Leverage @StateObject
- Consider placing global data in App and pass it down the view hierarchy. Changes to it will re-render all scenes (instances/windows) of your app
- New 2020: Property Wrappers that offer data persistence across app restarts and can be used as source of truth
  - @SceneStorage
    - Per-scene property wrapper for reading/writing data managed by SwiftUI
    - Light-weight storage for your views data
    - Use it to populate your collection views
  - @AppStorage
    - App-scoped global storage, persisted using UserDefaults, usable anywhere (app/view)
    - Perfect for storing settings
    - @AppStorage("amountOfGold") private var amountOfGold = 5000
    - Automatically reads/writes from/to UserDefaults whenever the property changes

Eliminate animation hitches with XCTest

https://developer.apple.com/wwdc20/10077

Presenter: Tanuja Mohan

Hitch: A frame appears on screen later than expected
VSYNC: Time the screen swaps the frame onto the display
Hitch time: Time in ms that a frame is late to display
Hitch ratio: Hitch time in ms per second for a given duration
Apple doesn't use frames per second (fps) since:
- 60 or 120 fps is not always the desired target
- Display may intentionally not be updated
- Target frame rate may intentionally be lower than possible
Hitch ratio is always comparable across tests, following ratios are recommended:
- Good: < 5ms/s
- Warning: 5..10ms/s - users will start recognizing hitches
- Critical: >10ms/s
Can be measured using XCTestMetrics and unit tests or for production apps using MetricsKit and Xcode Organizer
XCTOSSignpostMetric gives you the following when using an animation os_signpost interval:
- Duration
- Total count of hitches
- Total duration of hitches
- Hitch time ratio
- Frame rate
- Frame count
Specify an animation os_signpost interval by:
- os_signpost(.animationBegin, log: logHandle, name: "performanceAnimationInterval")
- os_signpost(.end, log: logHandle, name: "performanceAnimationInterval")
UIKit has pre-defined metrics:
- XCTOSSignpostMetric.navigationTransitionMetric
- XCTOSSignpostMetric.customNavigationTransitionMetric
- XCTOSSignpostMetric.scrollDecelerationMetric
- XCTOSSignpostMetric.scrollDraggingMetric
Application state can be reset to avoid tests influencing themselves: XCTMeasureOptions().invocationOptions = [.manualStop]

Why is my app getting killed?

https://developer.apple.com/wwdc20/10078

Presenter: Andy Aude

Most common reasons why apps can be terminated in the background
- Crash
  - Segmentation fault
  - Illegal instruction
  - Asserts and uncaught exceptions
- CPU resource limit
  - High sustained CPU load in background
  - Energy Exception Report
    - Xcode Organizer
    - MXCPUExceptionDiagnostic
  - Reports contain call stack points out hotspots in code
  - Consider moving work into BGProcessingTask
- Watchdog
  - Long hang during key app transitions
    - application(_:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:)
    - applicationDidEnterBackground(_:)
    - applicationWillEnterForeground(_:)
  - These transitions have a time limit on the order of 20 seconds
  - Terminations are disabled in Simulator and in the Debugger
  - Eliminate deadlocks, infinite loops, synchronous work
  - Report available via MXCrashDiagnostic
- Memory limit exceeded
  - App using too much memory
  - Same limit for foreground and background
  - Use Instruments and Memory Debugger
  - Keep in mind older devices
- Memory pressure exit (jetsam)
  - Not a bug with your app
  - Most common termination
  - System freeing up memory for active applications
  - Reducing jetsame rate
    - Aim for less than 50MB in background
    - Upon background flush state to disk, clear out image views, drop caches
  - Recovering from jetsame
    - Save state upon entering background
    - Adopt UIKit State Restoration
    - User should not realize app was terminated
- Background task timeout
  - UIApplication.beginBackgroundTask(expirationHandler:)
  - UIApplication.endBackgroundTask(_:)
  - Failure to end the task explicitly result in termination
  - Counts exposed via MXBackgroundExitData
  - Preventable
    - Use the named variant of the UIKit API beginBackgroundTask(withName:expirationHandler:)
    - Terminations do not occur in Debugger
    - New console message in iOS 13.4 (Background Task DatabaseTransaction was created over 30 seconds ago. In Applications running in the background, this creates a risk of termination. Remember to call endBackgroundTask for your task in a timely manner to avoid this.)
  - Expiration handler
    - Implement an expirationHandler
    - Call endBackgroundTask(_:) inside the handler
    - Do not begin new work
    - Do not rely on it exclusively
    - Add telemetry at the start and end of each expiration handler
    - Inspect MXMetricPayload
  - Check backgroundTimeRemaining
    - Only start work if plenty of time remains
    - Unsafe to begin tasks with < 5 seconds remaining
  - Avoid leaking UIBackgroundTaskIdentifier
New MetricKit API (iOS 14)
- MXBackgroundExitData shows how often these terminations happen providing counts of each termination type
  - cumulativeBadAccessExitCount
  - cumulativeIllegalInstructionExitCount
  - cumulativeAbnormalExitCount
  - cumulativeMemoryResourceLimitExitCount
  - cumulativeMemoryPressureExitCount
  - cumulativeSuspendedWithLockedFileExitCount
  - cumulativeAppWatchdogExitCount
  - cumulativeBackgroundTaskAssertionTimeoutExitCount
  - cumulativeNormalExitCount
- Crash reporting via MetricKit
  - Diagnostics on a per-device basis
  - Ability to get crash info programmatically directly from the device
  - MXCrashDiagnostic
    - Stack trace
    - Signal
    - Exception code
    - Termination reason
  - Check out What's New in MetricKit to get detailed information
How to improve multi-tasking experience?
- Identify and fix terminations
- Reduce memory usage
- Implement state restoration

Design for intelligence: Apps, evolved

https://developer.apple.com/wwdc20/10086

Presenter: Mark Mikin

This is one of those "why" sessions. Why we should build something?
Intelligent System Experience
- The main idea is to be proactive
- Intelligence is how the OS works with the apps that people use every day to make the "every day" easier for people
- Intelligence is design (it should be viewed as a design practice)
Living design. What is that?
- The core job of the designer is to help people accomplish something
- One of the key ways a designer can leverage this is by using elements familiar to the user
- People use a signifier or a symbol
- For example, "Share" button. In the case of iOS, almost everyone can easily recognize the "default" share symbol because it consistently gets used across a lot of apps
- Intelligence is a platform convention, it's in a static glyph or icon, like the share button. It's live
- Intelligence manifests itself by adapting to how the system, the platform, conforms to how people use their devices
- Intelligence is expected (people expect their devices and apps to be smart)
Extensibility
- Intelligence is powered by an app through extensibility
- Apps have actually been evolving over time
- A lot of the technologies built by Apple that are foundational to the intelligence system (starting from App Extensions debuted at WWDC 2014 and ending with App Clips so far)
- It's built to help growing ecosystem of devices and apps
- Intelligence system is built from a foundation of respecting users privacy
In the next sessions about system intelligence, Apple's team will try to cover it from a few different angles

Design for intelligence: Discover new opportunities

https://developer.apple.com/wwdc20/10088

Presenters: JP Lacerda

Intelligence
- Goal to make your Apple products knowing/understanding you
- Achieve and Discover more, Less tedium, Fewer distraction
- System helps you through suggestions from Siri, Shortcuts, Suggestions, Widgets
Siri / Shortcuts
- Helps you getting things done by a single tap or asking Siri
- Helps you setting up simple and complex operations ran, e.g. just by your voice
- View shortcuts through the new Siri suggestion Widget displayed just at the right time to you using the new smart stack and on-device intelligence
- Siri suggestions automatically appear at the right place and time, e.g. restaurant reservations are added automatically to the calendar
- Siri can remind you when it's time to leave right on your lock screen
- Get Siri suggestions in Maps to e.g. conveniently find your way to the Airport
Privacy / Analytics
- Apple chose opt-in to enable analytics on your device to help improve their intelligence services
- Examples
  - 82% of all notification-based check-ins come from suggestions (data from some Airline apps)
  - Apps are visible on average 5x more per day via lock screen, sharing suggestion, search or other entry points
Give your app superpowers
- Think about which entry points are suitable for your app
- Consider how you can measure the impact of intelligence on your app
- Understand intelligence from the users perspective

Advances in UICollectionView

https://developer.apple.com/wwdc20/10097

Presenters: Steve Breen

Diffable Data Source
- Recap
  - UICollectionView was first released in iOS 6
  - UICollectionView was built on the separation of concerns between the data, or the "what"; from the layout, the "where" content is being rendered.
  - For layout, an abstract class is UICollectionViewLayout, and a concrete subclass is UICollectionViewFlowLayout.
  - For the presentation, there are UICollectionViewCell and UICollectionReusableView.
  - In iOS 13, there are two new components for Data and Layout respectively with Diffable Data Source and Compositional Layout.
- Section snapshot [New in iOS 14]
  - Allow data sources to be more composable into section-sized chunks of data.
  - Allow modeling of hierarchical data, which is needed to support rendering outline-style UIs.
Compositional Layout
- Recap
  - Compositional Layout was introduced in iOS 13
  - Allows us to build rich, complex layouts by composing smaller, easy-to-reason bits of layout together.
  - Describes what the layout to look like instead of how the layout ought to work.
  - Section-specific layouts to help you build more sophisticated UIs
  - Support for orthogonal scrolling sections.
Lists [New in iOS 14]
- UITableView-like sections right in to any UICollectionView.
- Rich with features you've come to expect from UITableView, like swipe actions and many common cell layouts.
- Easily mix and match Lists with other kinds of layout on a per-section basis.
- Concrete UICollectionViewListCell, header and footer support
- New Sidebar appearance we see in many iPadOS system apps.
Modern Cells
- Cell registrations
  - Simple, reusable way to set up a cell from a view model.
  - Eliminate the extra step of registering a cell class or nib to associate it with a reuse identifier.
  - Use a generic registration type which incorporates a configuration closure for setting up a new cell from a view model.
- Cell content configurations.
  - Standardized layouts for cells similar to what is seen in UITableView standard cell types.
  - Can be used with any cell, or even a generic UIView.
- Background configurations.
  - Similar to content configurations but apply to any cell's background with the ability to adjust properties such as color, border styles and more.

What's new in Universal Links

https://developer.apple.com/wwdc20/10098

Presenter: Christopher Linn

Universal Links
- HTTPS URLs that represent your content both on the web and in your app
- Allow to open your app instead of browser
- Enable by adding an entitlement to your app and a JSON file to your web server - creates secure association between both
- Custom URL schemes not recommended anymore - switch as soon as possible
Support for watchOS
- Same functionalities like on iOS, tvOS and macOS
- Apply entitlement to your WatchKit extension - not your WatchKit App
- Use [WKExtensionDelegate.handle(_ userActivity: NSUserActivity) -> Void](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/watchkit/wkextensiondelegate/2798966-handle) to handle Universal Links
- Use [WKExtension.shared().openSystemURL(url)](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/watchkit/wkextension/1628224-opensystemurl) to open Universal Links in other apps
- Different API on iOS (UIKit) and macOS (AppKit)
Universal Links in SwiftUI
- Now it is possible to handle Universal Links equally on all platforms
- Handle Universal Links using .onOpenURL { url in /* ... */ }
- Open Universal Links in other apps using @Environment (\.openURL) var openURL; let url = /* ... */; openURL(url)
Enhanced Pattern Matching
- * matches zero or more characters greedily
- ? matches any one character
- *? matches at least one character
- "components": [{ "/": "/sourdough/?*", "caseSensitive": false }] for case-insensitive pattern matching (macOS Catalina 10.15.5 and iOS 13.5)
- "components": [{ "/": "/中國哲學書電子化計劃/?*", "percentEncoded": false }] for Unicode pattern matching (macOS Big Sur and iOS 14)
- "defaults": { "percentEncoded": false, "caseSensitive": false } to specify defaults for all components (macOS Big Sur and iOS 14)
  - Apply defaults to "details" (includes app IDs and components) or only to "components" to match all elements of the respective arrays
Substitution Variables
- Named lists of substrings to match against
- Names can contain anything but $, (, )
- Names are always case sensitive in patterns
- Values can contain ? and * but no other substitution variables
- Values are case-sensitive by default
- Available today in macOS Catalina 10.15.6 and iOS 13.5
- Predefined Substitution Variables
  - $(alpha)* - match upper and lower case letters
  - $(upper),$(lower)* - match either upper or lower case letters
  - $(alnum)* - match upper and lower case letters including digits
  - $(digit),$(xdigit)* - match either digits or hexadecimal digits
  - $(region)** - match every ISO region code defined by Foundation: Locale.isoRegionCodes
  - $(lang)** - match every ISO language code defined by Foundation: Locale.isoLanguageCodes
  - Use "exclude": true to exclude specific patterns
  - Substitution variables can be used to form different combinations of patterns, e.g. show different menus for different countries
  - Example
```
{
  "appLinks": {
    "substitutionVariables": {
      "food": [ "burrito", "sushi" ],
      "Canadian food": [ "burrito", "poutine", "tête-de-violon" ]
    },
    "details": [{
      "appIDs": [ "ABCDEF.com..example.restaurant" ],
      "components": [
        { "/": "$(lang)_CA/$(Canadian food)/", "percentEncoded": false }
        { "/": "$(lang)_CA/$(food)/", "exclude": true }
        { "/": "$(lang)_$(region)/$(food)/" }
      ]
    }]
  }
}
```
Universal Links Workflow
- After download of an app the system checks its entitlements to see if it needs any app-association files, and downloads them
- App association files can now be downloaded in parallel by connecting to an Apple CDN instead of opening one connection per downloaded app
  - CDN is dedicated to associated domains
  - CDN uses single HTTP/2 connection for all associated domains on a device
  - CDN Reduces load on your server
  - CDN routes devices to a known-good, known-fast connection
- Alternate Modes for internal domains not reachable from an Apple CDN
  - Managed Mode when distributing within your organization (see What's New in Managing Apple Devices (WWDC20))
    - System trusted root certificate
    - MDN admin must opt-in
    - Works using any profile
  - Developer Mode when building your app
    - Use any SSL certificate
    - User must opt-in from iOS Settings > Developer > Associated Domains Development or for macOS using the command swcutil developer-mode -e true
    - Only works using a development profile
  - Server path for all modes: https://example.com/.well-known/apple-app-site-association
  - Specify domains for different modes in the entitlements as <string>applinks:testing.example.com?mode=developer</string> (or ?mode=managed or ?mode=developer+managed) in an array under the key com.apple.developer.associated-domains

Streamline your app clip

https://developer.apple.com/wwdc20/10120

Presenters: Yongjun Zhang, Luming Yin

Best practices
- Focus on essential tasks
- Limit the features. Reserve complex features for your app
- Require all assets for initial experience
- Do not include splash screens
- Avoid requiring people to sign up before finishing their task
- Only ask for location and notification permissions if needed (more on this below)
- Make sure your App Clip has the same name and icon as your app
- Put shared assets in a shared asset catalog
- Authentication
  - Support Sign in with Apple
  - Use ASWebAuthenticationSession for other federated login
  - Offer username and password login for existing users
  - Offer "Sign In With Apple" upgrade in the app
- For privacy reasons, and because App Clips are ephemeral, some contents are not available to App Clips, such as HealthKit info
- App Clips can request permission to use Bluetooth, the camera, and microphone
Streamlining Transactions
- 2 new types of ephemeral permissions: Location and Notification
  - Allows App Clips to check if the user is within a region, without prompting for location permission
    - Add NSAppClipRequestLocationConfirmation with value true in your Info.plist to enable this
    - Supports checking a region with a radius of up to 500 meters
  - Allows App Clips to send notifications for up to 8 hours after each launch, without prompting for notification permission.
    - Add NSAppClipRequestEphemeralUserNotification with value true in your Info.plist to enable this
    - Check the authorization status in the NotificationSettings, under the new .ephemeral status
  - Users can explicitly disable these permissions via App Clip settings panel
  - App Clips can prompt the user for full Location and Notifications access, although discouraged
- Strongly suggest using ApplePay
- Strongly suggest using "Sign In With Apple"
- Use AuthenticationServices API to sign your users in without showing a login screen (assuming they have already previously signed up in your website for instance)
Transition users to your app
- iOS suggests downloading your app from App Clip experiences, banners and App Clip settings
- You can embed StoreKit SKOverlay in a view
  - Suggestion: display this overlay only after the user finishes their task, e.g. after payment
- Transfer data on device with a secure App Group
  - Only accessible between your App Clip and your app
  - Once user downloads the app, the App Group will be transferred to the app after the App Clip is deleted
  - Migrate your "Sign In With Apple" session from your App Clip by persisting the user ID in the secure App Group. Use ASAuthorizationAppleIDProvider to verify the user's session without prompting UI

Configure and link your app clips

https://developer.apple.com/wwdc20/10146/

Presenters: Ada Chan, Luming Yin

Intro
- App Clips provide entry points to your users to experience your app with minimal friction.
- Use deep-linked navigation to present the App Clip
User Quest
- User is in a smoothie shop. They see an NFC tag and tap it using the phone.
- An app clip shows up on the phone's lockscreen with summarized detail about that smoothie.
- User taps "open" and a single screen of your app shows up.
- User can then proceed to the payment via Apple Pay.
Activation
- Tapping NFC tags or scanning QR codes - they're just deep links after all (a URL)
- Maps and Siri Nearby Suggestions (for registered businesses)
- Smart app banner in your website (shown in Safari and Messages)
- Apple App Clip codes will be introduced later this year (it's a prettified QR code)
- If the user already has the your app installed, following an App Clip link will open the full app instead.
Setup
- Configure web server and App Clip for link handling
  - Web Server: Update the apple-app-site-association file
  - App Clip: Add associated domains entitlement and handle NSUserActivity
- Configure App Clip default and advanced experiences on App Store Connect
  - Layout requirements:
    - Title: 18 chars limit
    - Subtitle: 43 chars limit
    - Image:
      - Size: 3000 x 2000px
      - Aspect Ratio: 3:2
      - Format: png/jpg
      - Transparency: No
  - Best Practices
    - URL mapping is based on most specific prefix match against registered App Clip experience URLs
    - Your App Clip must be able to launch using an exact registered URL. For example:
      - App registers https://bikesrental.com/rent instead of https://website.com/rent?bikeID=2
      - When receiving https://website.com/rent?bikeID=2, it should be able to deliver the https://website.com/rent App Clip
      - App is responsible for parsing the remaining arguments and presenting the specific bike with ID 2
      - You can also register a more specific URL if you want to provide a different and more specific App Clip experience for it
- Configure the Smart App Banner to open App Clip (add this if the content of your web page can be delivered as a better and more streamlined app experience)
  - Add/update your website's HTML to add the Smart App Banner meta tag
Test
- Specify an App Clip URL under the _XCAppClipURL environment variable to launch App Clip from Xcode
- TestFlight - new App Clips section in App Store Connect

Distribute binary frameworks as Swift packages

https://developer.apple.com/wwdc20/10147

Presenters: Boris Buegling

Xcode 11
- Introduction of Swift Packages to distribute libraries as source code
- Introduction of XCFrameworks to distribute closed-source binary frameworks and libraries
Xcode 12 adds support for binary dependencies
Binary Dependencies (XCFrameworks)
- Used to distribute closed-source frameworks, static and dynamic libraries
- Contain a single module
- Easily addable via the Xcode > File > Swift Packages > Add Package Dependency
- Has sub directories corresponding to platform and target environment, each containing a framework
- Declare dependency in your Package.swift using .package(url: "https://github.com/owner/package", from: "1.0.0")
Distribute Binary Frameworks as a Swift Package
- New target type .binaryTarget(name: "Emoji", url: https://example.com/Emoji/Emoji-1.0.0.xcframework.zip, checksum: "6d98....")
- Binary targets can be offered to clients just like regular targets
- Binary Targets
  - Use XCFrameworks
  - Only supported on Apple platforms
  - HTTPS or path based - paths can point to files inside your package
  - Name corresponds to the module name
  - Use semantic versioning
Create your own Binary Dependency
- Create File > New Swift Package
- Replace template-added targets and add a binary target
- Compute the checksum using swift package compute-checksum Emoji-1.0.0.xcframework.zip
- Set Build Libraries for Distribution build setting
- Archive each variant
- xcodebuild -create-xcframework
- See 2019 session "Binary frameworks in Swift" or read the session notes which is way quicker
Tradeoffs of Binary Dependencies
- Harder to debug since source code is missing
- You won't be able to compile for your specific platform if not included by the author

Design for location privacy

https://developer.apple.com/wwdc20/10162

Presenter: Rachel Needle

Today people share precise location data
In iOS 14, Core Location allowing users to control and share their approximate location
All kinds of apps will be impacted by this change (even Apple's apps)
How to adapt the app to work without precise location?
- Prioritize user control
  - Give everyone control over their location data they share and respect their preferences
  - Don't require precise location
  - Replace precise data with approximate where possible
  - Identify where else you use precise location and remove non-essential uses of precise location
- Build trust through transparency
  - Communicate with people about what data your app uses and how that data is used
  - Make status easy to access
  - Allow users to change their decision
- Offer proportional value
  - Only ask for precise location when you really need it
  - Request precise location in response to user action
  - Position the request close to the value it provides
- Consider checking out these two sessions to get detailed information
  - Build trust through better privacy
  - What's new in location

XCTSkip your tests

https://developer.apple.com/wwdc20/10164

Presenters: Wil Addario-Turner

Tests can pass or fail, or with XCTSkip, be marked with an explicit "skip" result.
In Xcode 11.4, XCTSkip, XCTSkipIf and XCTSkipUnless were introduced to allow skipping tests at runtime.
Call throw XCTSkip("message") and the test will be skipped.
XCTSkipIf skips when the expression is true. XCTSkipUnless skips when the expression is false.
Check the results from the test navigator and the test report with the line where the skip occurred, along with a reason explaining why.

Embrace Swift type inference

https://developer.apple.com/wwdc20/10165

Presenter: Holly Borla

Leveraging type inference
- A type can be inferred by the compiler given the context surrounding a variable or function
- SwiftUI code relies on type inference for reusable views
- A demo is presented showing a SwiftUI component being built using generics
How type inference works in compiler
- Think of type inference as a puzzle
- It resolves the puzzle by filling in the missing pieces using clues from the source code
- Solving one puzzle can give the compiler more clues on how to solve other puzzles
- Type inference errors
  - If a puzzle can't be solved, there's an error in the source code
  - During type inference, the compiler will record information about errors in source code
  - Compiler uses heuristics to attempt to fix errors in order to continue type inference
  - Once type inference is done, the compiler will provide actionable error messages based on collected information (some errors might have auto-fixes)
- Swift 5.3 and Xcode 12 improved error handling a lot, showing more meaningful and reliable error messages
Using Swift and Xcode to fix compile errors
- The compiler will leave breadcrumbs about what the compiler was doing when it found an error
- This can help you connect the dots between the error you're seeing on the editor and other files in your project
- Hold ⌥ + ⇧ on an error breadcrumb and drag it to the right of the source editor, to open the source editor and the breadcrumbs details side by side

What's new in Swift

https://developer.apple.com/wwdc20/10170

Presenters: Ted Kremenek, Kyle Macomber

Swift Releases
- Xcode 11.4 - Swift 5.2
- Xcode 12 (beta) - Swift 5.3
Runtime Performance
- Code Size
  - Code size is the part of the app that represents the machine code representation of the app's logic
  - Swift 5.3 is below 1.5 times the code size of Objective-C version (based on app that ships with iOS)
  - Size difference is inevitable because of Swift safety features
  - SwiftUI app binary code size can be reduced by 40% (based on MoviesSwiftUI app)
- Memory Layout
  - Comparing models with three properties in Obj-C (NSUUID, NSString and float) and Swift (UUID, String, Float)
  - In Obj-C, object variables are just pointers which then hold a pointer to their properties
  - Swift's use of value types avoid the need to access values via pointers (UUID and Strings)
  - Significant memory benefit because it is allocated directly within array storage (contiguous block of memory)
  - Heap memory use comparison: 20kB in Swift 5.1 vs 35kB in Obj-C (400 models in array)
  - Swift's Standard Library now is below Foundation in the stack which means it can be used to develop low-level frameworks for Objective-C frameworks where previously C has to be used!
Diagnostics
- New diagnostics in the Swift compiler result in more precise and actionable errors
- Additional notes in error messages (SwiftUI as an example)
- More info on swift.org
Code completion
- Much better code completion thanks to improvements in SourceKit
- Code completion for dictionary literals, ternary expressions and more dynamic features like key paths
- Code completion in Xcode 12.0 is 15x faster compared to Xcode 11.5
Code Indentation
- Improved indentation formatting in chained methods calls, tuples, multiline if and guards
- Improved indentation in SwiftUI as well

Presenters: James Savage, Luming Yin

What is an App Clip?
- App Clip Experience URL is required to run App Clips which are parts of your app
- On-demand app experiences
App Clip Experiences
- App Clip URLs are similar to Universal Links
- Registered using App Store Connect
- Surfaced through user actions via NFC / QR codes / links in Safari or other apps / Apple App Clip codes combine the ease of NFC and visual codes so they can be tapped or scanned
New App Clip Target in Xcode
- Contains all assets
- Needs to be submitted along with the app for review
- It gets downloaded separately if the app is not installed on user’s device
- Should be as small as possible for quick downloads (less than 10MB but with enough assets to load UI quickly)
- Focused user flows - one at a time
Demo
- Ordering smoothies
- New App Clip target embedded in the application
  - Name and bundle ID for App Clip added
  - It can build and run with boilerplate code right away
- Add code and resources
  - NutritionFacts dependency added
  - Create new Assets Catalog as shared assets
    - Drag App Icon, Colors and other image assets required for app clip into the shared assets catalog
  - Add the required model and view files to App Clip target
    - Let go of unwanted Swift files like navigation
  - Conditionally compile out the references to files not added to App Clip
    - Build Settings > Swift Compiler custom flags > Active Compilation Conditions > Add APPCLIP condition for required schemes.
    - Use #if !APPCLIP to compile out unwanted references in Swift code
- Write code for App Clip
  - Add required models and views to the new AppClip
  - Include existing views in the App Clip’s content view
Technology Overview
- App Clips are built using same UI components as an app
- When launched, it receives NSUserActivity
  - Use the URL to identify the type of experience to be handled
- Unlike extensions, App Clip can make use of all iOS SDK APIs
  - Note: Access to sensitive data is limited
  - Always check if data is available
- New location confirmation API helps get the location quickly without requesting full access
- New API for migrating data from App Clip to main app using shared data container once installed
- App Clip and its local storage will be deleted after period of inactivity
  - Not included in backups
- Can not be launched via Universal Links or custom URL schemes
- Can not include bundle extensions like content blockers
Device states and transitions
- User scans QR code
- iOS locates, downloads and runs the App Clip
- If the App Clip is not revisited for a while, the App Clip and its data gets deleted
  - Treat App Clip data as cache; which can be deleted
- If the App Clip is visited frequently, its lifespan will be extended and data may never be cleared
  - When user downloads your app, iOS will automatically migrate the data container and the permissions that were already granted by the user
  - iOS still deletes the App Clip and its container after copying the data container to the app
Other technologies
- Apple Pay
- Notifications
- SwiftUI
- SKOverlay / AppStoreOverlayModifier (refer to What’s new with in-app purchase session)
- ASAuthorizationController for sign in or sign up

What's new in HealthKit

https://developer.apple.com/wwdc20/10182

Presenter: Netra Kenkarey

Symptoms
- Developers can now track symptoms in HealthKit, read and write symptom samples
- HealthKit attempted to cover and track a wide range of symptoms (shortness of breath, sleep changes, appetite changes, fever, headache, etc.)
- There are 13 symptom data types in HealthKit
Electrocardiogram (ECG)
- ECG samples will be available for reading in the latest version of iOS and watchOS
- An ECG sample can be read as an HKElectrocardiogram (it represents a waveform as a series of voltage values)
- ECG sample has important properties that describe the measurements
- classification (HKElectrocardiogram.Classification)
  - Apple Watch will give the result of the recording in the form of a classification
  - The classification is divided into 2 types
    - Sinus Rhythm (heart is beating in a uniform pattern)
    - Atrial fibrillation (form of irregular rhythm, user should probably go see their doctor)
  - If Apple Watch is unable to determine the ECG result, either due to a low or a high heart rate or due to any other reason, the result is considered inconclusive
- symptomStatus (HKElectrocardiogram.SymptomsStatus)
  - It tells if the user associated a symptom with this ECG (e.g. heartburn, tightness in the chest)
  - The symptom experienced can be recorded along with the ECG
- averageHeartRage (HKQuantity?)
- samplingFrequence (HKQuantity?)
- numberOfVoltageMeasurements (Int)
  - It refers to the individual voltage measurements that make up an ECG sample
HKElectrocardiogramQuery
- To retrieve the individual measurements run the HKElectrocardiogramQuery
- Fetch the ECG samples with any of the HealthKit queries and then initialize the HKElectrocardiogramQuery with the fetched sample
- When this query is executed on the HealthStore, you get the individual voltage measurements back in the ECG and the data handler
Mobility
- New set of mobility types (available for reading and writing on the latest iOS and watchOS)
  - Walking speed and step length
  - Walking assymetry and double support percentage
  - Stair ascent and descent speed
  - Six-minute walk test distance

Get your test results faster

https://developer.apple.com/wwdc20/10221

Presenters: Sean Olszewski

The Testing Feedback Loop
- Write tests > run tests > Interpret result >if sufficient confidence [ > Next task] else go back to write tests
- Short feedback loops is important because that means you get results from your tests faster, you can ship features to your users faster.
- Real world example: Result bundle from that CI job, which never finished. Due to dead lock, poorly chosen timeout.
Execution Time Allowance [NEW in XCode 12]
- When enabled, Xcode enforces a limit on the amount of time each individual test can take. When a test exceeds this limit, Xcode will first capture spin dump, then kill the test that hung, restart the test runner, so that the rest of the suite can execute.
- A spin dump shows you which functions each thread is spending the most time in. It's also possible to manually capture spin dump from Terminal using the spin dump command or from within Activity Monitor.
- By default, each test gets 10 minutes. If you need to a specific test or test class, you can use the executionTimeAllowance API to special case a particular test or subclass. For values under 60 seconds, they'll be rounded up to 60 seconds, the nearest whole minute.
- Prevent a test requests unlimited time by enforcing a maximum allowance.
- You can customize the default time allowance and a maximum allowance either via a setting in the Test Plan or through an Xcodebuild option.
- Use XCTest's performance APIs to automate testing for regressions in the performance. Use Instruments to identify what parts of your code are slow,
Parallel Distributed Testing
- Xcode build will distribute tests to each run destination by class. Each device runs a single test class at a time.
- If you're testing logic that is device or OS specific, this can lead to unexpected failures or skipped tests.
