Common Swift Code Issues We Identify

Typical Audit Findings & Impact

Memory Management Issues

Critical

Strong reference cycles causing memory leaks, affecting app stability and performance.

// Problematic code class ViewController { var completion: (() -> Void)? func setupHandler() { completion = { self.updateUI() // Retain cycle! } } }

Threading Violations

High

UI updates on background threads causing crashes and inconsistent behavior.

// Fixed version DispatchQueue.main.async { self.tableView.reloadData() }

Force Unwrapping

Medium

Excessive use of force unwrapping leading to runtime crashes and poor error handling.

// Better approach guard let data = response.data else { return handleError(.noData) }

Performance Bottlenecks

High

Inefficient algorithms and blocking operations on main thread affecting user experience.

// Optimized approach DispatchQueue.global().async { let result = heavyComputation() DispatchQueue.main.async { self.updateUI(with: result) } }
