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 OSSignposter and collect MetricKit diagnostics from staged users to help surface CPU, hang, and memory regressions.
  • Replace fragile callback wrappers with actor-isolated async APIs and audit withCheckedThrowingContinuation sites 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?
