There’s no good solution for this as we can’t check for SDK versions at build time or dynamically check for symbols at runtime. What you can do is a build time check for the Swift version (`#if swift(>=5.8)`) around the checks for the new API. Technically it’s not a guarantee but Apple’s inflexibility with SDK versions in Xcode works in your favor here, so it should be stable.
