My Top 10 Wishes for WWDC24

From a SportsKit API and .zoom modifier in SwiftUI, over improved SwiftData and source control in Xcode, to my biggest pain points in tvOS and visionOS, and much more! Blending long-standing requests with fresh ideas.

It’s become a bit of a habit for me that shortly after Apple announces the dates for the next WWDC, I gather a list of the top things I’m missing in Apples tools and frameworks. My hope is that these summary articles are helpful for Apple engineers to internally confirm or adjust priorities. And so far each year 33% of what I wished for actually came true! Might be a coincidence, but I like it still.

Some of these ideas I filed a radar long ago. But more often than not, taking the time to reflect on the things I’m missing most brings up new things that I don’t come across in day-to-day work. So you might find a few obvious things in this list, but I’m sure I also have things you never thought about. I’d love to hear what you think, make sure to comment on socials and mention my handle @Jeehut.

1. Easy App Modularization in Xcode without the hassle
2. Pie Charts are here, but…
