Have there been any changes to the ViewController lifecycle in the past year?

There have been no fundamental changes in the ViewController lifecycle in iOS over the past year. The main lifecycle methods, such as viewDidLoad, viewWillAppear, viewDidAppear, viewWillDisappear, viewDidDisappear, remain relevant.

However, Apple continues to improve memory management and optimization systems, as well as introduce new features for SwiftUI and integration with UIKit, which can indirectly affect how ViewControllers work.

For up-to-date information, it is recommended to follow official Apple releases and documentation, as changes may appear in new versions of iOS and Xcode.
