Also, if you have a bug or a feature request, please go to bugreporter.apple.com. Today we want to focus on questions that will help the broader audience. So, please send us your questions using the Slido panel here in WebEx. Once our moderators approve the questions, they'll appear for everyone to up vote, so we can narrow in on the questions that are of most interest to all of you. So let's jump in. I'm going to claim moderator privilege and start with a couple of questions that I'm particularly interested in. So the first thing I would like to talk about to get the ball rolling is, I just want to ask each of you what your favorite new Swift UI API is this year. Summer, why don't you kick us off? All right, I'm gonna have to go with our new rich text editor. was a big labor of love for my team, and it was super fun, 'cause we got to work cross functionally with foundation, text kit, cortex, UAKit, app kit, everybody. Excellent. Nick, how about you? Uh, for me, this is definitely a safe area bar, kind of an

and definitely have the expertise to answer any questions that you have for us. So, to kick things off, in some of the design sessions, and keynote, and so, too, we were talking a little bit about the way in which liquid glass can really help with navigation, focus, in the UI, and there's some questions, just kind of, you know, can we expand on that? Can we elaborate a little bit on that notion? And I think maybe, Chabam, that might be a good one for you to take. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. So with liquid glass, you know, we really tried to clarify the navigation layer in our apps. So liquid glass introduces a single floating plane that acts as an navigation layer for your app. buttons in that floating pane sort of seamlessly morph in mitosis as you move between different sections of the app, and when you look at things like controls, controls can also temporarily lift into that glass steam. If you watch some of the design sessions, you know, we go into not overusing glass or not using glass on top of glass, but

Q: What's the best approach to updating my app's UI for the new design?

A:

I think the best approach is to start from either the top down or the bottom up---however you perceive the hierarchy of your application. Focus on the big structural parts, since they tend to be most affected by the design and are often reflected in your code structure. Start there, then focus on the smaller elements.

import Foundation
import SwiftUI

extension View {
    /// Adds introspection to find the parent view controller in the view hierarchy and
    /// makes that view controller available to downstream views in the view hierarchy.
    public func addParentViewControllerIntrospection() -> some View {
        modifier(ParentViewControllerEnvironmentModifier())
    }
}
