Nuke 12.0 (Beta 5)

on GitHub

Redesign the concurrency APIs in Nuke ahead of the upcoming changes in Xcode 14.3, making them safer and ergonomic to use, and fully Sendable-compliant.

• Add ImagePipeline/imageTask(with:) method that returns a new type AsyncImageTask that you can use to monitor the task progress, change its priority, and, of course, fetch the response.

let task = ImagePipeline.shared.imageTask(with: URL(string: "example.com"))
for await progress in task.progress {
    print("Updated progress: ", progress)
}
let image = try await task.image

• The existing convenience ImagePipeline/image(for:) methods now return an image (UIImage or NSImage) instead of ImageResponse
• Remove the delegate parameter from the existing ImagePipeline/image(for:) async/await method to address the upcoming concurrency warnings in Xcode 14.3
• Remove ImageTaskDelegate and move its methods to ImagePipelineDelegate and add the pipeline parameter
• Add one final LazyImage optimization where when the image is in memory cache, LazyImage now requires a single body calculation to render it (instead of three before) – can't get better than this
• Use an improved way to generate xcframeworks, significantly reducing their size
