With Xcode 16 beta 3 (Swift 6 mode), the code below no longer builds.

@MainActor struct Foo {
  var num: Int { 42 }
  nonisolated func foo(_ int: Int) async {}
  func bar() async {
    await foo(num)  // 🛑 Sending 'self.num' risks causing data races
  }
}

Sending main actor-isolated 'self.num' to nonisolated instance method 'foo' risks causing data races between nonisolated and main actor-isolated uses

Since Int is Sendable, I don't see how this makes sense, but does it?

This is a known issue. It was fixed in f0fff2e5a02d8f56fc272ed0562a888d10f17f9b

Cool. Meanwhile, is any workaround available, or do we need to wait until Xcode 16 beta 4?

Your can store the variable locally before using it as a parameter:

@MainActor struct Foo {
    var num: Int { 42 }
    nonisolated func foo(_ int: Int) async {}
    func bar() async {
        var num = num // sometimes a let works too, but not always
        await foo(num)
    }
}

I'm going back to Xcode 16 Beta 2 because of this.

Great, this workaround is useful for me

Seems to be the same in Beta 4 unfortunately
