September 2025 highlights for getsentry/sentry-cocoa: Delivered a major Swift migration of core wrappers, refactored runtime components to Swift, and consolidated packaging/CI improvements to boost reliability and developer productivity. Introduced an adhoc build type to accelerate testing, streamlined VisionOS platform handling by removing Interoperability mode, and expanded distribution via Swift Package Manager (SPM) for headless environments. Collectively, these changes reduce build times and CI flakiness, improve cross‑platform support, and enhance maintainability and onboarding for contributors.
