Swift 6 is coming in September!
Feb 25, 2024
As I predicted in my last blog, Preparing for Swift 6, it seems Swift 6 is actually heading for a September release date!
The Swift forums post on the Swift 6 Release Process has announced that the Swift 6 release branch is being created March 15th. Given Swift 5.10 is going out in Xcode 15.3 in March it tallies up with the release history of Swift that 6.0 will release in September and be included in Xcode 16. Though we’ll have to wait for WWDC for confirmation on that, I’d be very surprised if it happened any differently!
So maybe it’s time to start enabling all those Swift-6-preparatory feature flags in your projects so the adoption of Swift 6 goes as smoothly as possible! Read more in my last blog: Preparing for Swift 6
