As it tradition, next week I will publish my "iOS 18: Notable UIKit Additions" piece.

To celebrate Apple's most mature mobile user interface framework, here's some fun additions from each year I've written it.

Last year: https://swiftjectivec.com/iOS-17-Notable-UIKit-Additions/

Favorite addition: SF Symbol animations

WWDC Wishlist 💻

A new entitlement for Live Activities to get guaranteed indefinite background execution.

Then apps with very long-running local tasks (like video export) can do it in the background and SHOW PROGRESS.

Why tie it to a Live Activity? Because they’re always user-initiated, always visible, and can always be cancelled! Less opportunity for abuse.

Why an entitlement? Because this is a special case. Most Live Activities are network-bound and should use push notifications to update.
