What changed

new Worker(url, options) now takes its iOS-specific settings under an ios
namespace object, so future platform options have a place to live instead of
accumulating as iosSomething keys on the top level.

const worker = new Worker("./worker.js", {
  ios: { priority: "userInitiated" },
});

ios.priority accepts exactly "userInteractive", "userInitiated",
"default", "utility" and "background", and maps to the matching
NSQualityOfService on the worker thread.

Deprecation

options.iosPriority keeps working unchanged, including its lenient handling of
unrecognized values (they are ignored, not fatal). Passing it logs a one-time
per-process warning pointing at ios.priority. When both keys are present,
ios.priority wins.

Validation

Input Result
ios present and not an object (null counts as absent, as for a WebIDL dictionary) TypeError
ios.priority not a string TypeError naming "ios.priority"
ios.priority an unknown string TypeError naming "ios.priority"
unknown keys inside ios ignored (forward compatibility)
iosPriority with an unknown value ignored (unchanged)

The thrown value is a genuine TypeError instance, so e instanceof TypeError
holds in JS.

Along the way, "default" now actually reaches the thread: the quality of
service was carried as an int whose "unset" sentinel was -1, which is also
the value of NSQualityOfServiceDefault, so an explicit "default" was
indistinguishable from passing no option at all. It is now a
std::optional<int>.

Verification

TestRunner suite, Debug, iOS Simulator.

Metric Count
tests 1526
failures 0
errors 0
skipped 11

That is the 1513-test baseline plus the 12 specs added here; the skips are unchanged.

Follow-ups

  • @nativescript/core typings for WorkerOptions need ios?: { priority?: "userInteractive" | "userInitiated" | "default" | "utility" | "background" }, with iosPriority marked @deprecated.
  • A stacked PR adds resourceLimits.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for configuring iOS worker thread quality of service through ios.priority.
    • Supports standard priority values, including background execution.
    • Continues to support the deprecated iosPriority option, with ios.priority taking precedence.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Added validation for invalid priority configurations, including clear type errors.
    • Worker option getter errors are now propagated correctly.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for priority mapping, compatibility behavior, missing or null options, unknown properties, and invalid values.

Worker options now carry iOS-specific settings in an `ios` namespace object:

    new Worker("./w.js", { ios: { priority: "userInitiated" } })

`ios.priority` is validated strictly — a non-object `ios`, a non-string
priority or an unrecognized priority name throws a TypeError — while unknown
keys inside `ios` are ignored so later options can be added without breaking
older runtimes.

`iosPriority` stays supported with its lenient behavior and logs a one-time
deprecation warning; `ios.priority` takes precedence when both are given.

The quality of service is carried as `std::optional<int>` so an explicit
"default" is distinguishable from no option at all.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Changes

The worker runtime now parses and validates iOS quality-of-service options. It represents absent values with std::optional, applies QoS only when specified, and adds iOS tests for valid, invalid, absent, and getter-error cases.

Worker quality-of-service options

Layer / File(s) Summary
Quality-of-service option parsing
NativeScript/runtime/DataWrapper.h, NativeScript/runtime/Worker.mm
Worker construction reads ios.priority and the deprecated iosPriority option. It validates values and stops when an option getter throws.
Quality-of-service application
NativeScript/runtime/WorkerWrapper.mm
WorkerWrapper::Start uses std::optional<int> and sets NSBlockOperation.qualityOfService only when a value is present.
Worker option validation
TestRunner/app/tests/WorkerOptionsTests.js, TestRunner/app/tests/index.js, TestRunner/app/tests/workerOptions/qosWorker.js
Tests cover QoS mappings, precedence, absent options, invalid values, getter errors, worker QoS reporting, and test registration.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 5958b

This adds validated iOS Worker priority options while preserving legacy behavior and platform-default scheduling when no priority is supplied. The change is covered by the iOS simulator test suite with no reported failures.

In `@NativeScript/runtime/Worker.mm`:
- Around line 58-59: Update ParseQualityOfService and ConstructorCallback so
failures from ios, ios.priority, or iosPriority property access return a
distinct parse-failure status rather than being treated as absent values;
preserve the pending V8 exception and exit ConstructorCallback before
WorkerWrapper allocation or Start. Add coverage for throwing getters and Proxy
traps, verifying the original error propagates and the worker entry script does
not execute.

In `@TestRunner/app/tests/WorkerOptionsTests.js`:
- Around line 27-32: Update both Worker callback handlers in the async spec so
their assertions and existing logic execute within try/finally, with finish()
called from finally in onmessage and onerror; preserve the current assertions
and ensure worker termination still occurs when either callback throws.
- Line 72: Update the QoS assertion in the no-options test around
WorkerWrapper::Start to compare qos with NSQualityOfService.Background, rather
than only checking that qos is numeric. Preserve the existing test setup and
verify the queue uses the default Background QoS.
