Migrations to SwiftUI and structured concurrency often compile cleanly but can expose timing, cancellation, and partial-write bugs only at runtime — plan for an operational rollout phase.
- Treat framework migration as an operational rollout: add runtime availability guards, use server-side feature flags, and stage releases before wide distribution.
- Instrument hot async boundaries with
OSSignposterand collectMetricKitdiagnostics from staged users to help surface CPU, hang, and memory regressions. - Replace fragile callback wrappers with actor-isolated async APIs and audit
withCheckedThrowingContinuationsites for multi-resume risks. - Include at least one end-to-end CI job on real devices that exercises
ScenePhase/lifecycle transitions to surface background throttling and scheduling issues.
Choose a full rewrite when you need new ownership or UX; keep dual paths when retention-critical flows must remain stable.
How have you correlated signposts, os_log, and MetricKit traces during a staged rollout — which signal first alerted you to a migration regression?
