Also worth noting — OpenSwiftUI provides this API too. If you're using OpenSwiftUI, you can use CAHostingLayer directly via _spi import OpenSwiftUI without the extra swiftinterface workaround.
See #831 and #832 for more detail.

SwiftUI has a hidden CAHostingLayer API — host your SwiftUI views directly in a CALayer.
Currently used internally by UIKit/AppKit and WebKit. Available since iOS 18 / macOS 15.
I wrote a guide on how to access it without Apple's internal SDK 👇

Debugging NSUserActivity in SwiftUI can be painful—failures are silent and timing is unpredictable.
There's a hidden flag that helps: _defaultSwiftUIActivityEnvironmentLoggingEnabled

Swift 6.2 now supports multiple @_typeEraser attributes, enabling SwiftUI's new DebugReplaceableView for faster Xcode Previews on iOS 26+.
Here's how it works under the hood.

Here’s a sneak peek at the TOC I’m drafting for the article 👇

Anyone interested in how to quickly dive into and debug the internals of SwiftUI?
I’m planning to publish an article later this month about how I debug and fixed this issue
https://github.com/OpenSwiftUIProject/OpenSwiftUI/issues/461
Stay tuned—and let me know in the comments which parts you’d be most curious about!

Please do not use this in production environment. Only use it as a debug tool for inspecting SwiftUI internal Bug.

To play with the private AttributeGraph framework which drives SwiftUI, you can use DarwinPrivateFrameworks package to give it a try.

If you can fully understand what the code in the screenshot is doing, I guess you can then call yourself as a truly SwiftUI engineer instead of SwiftUI developer. 👀
