We give developers powerful APIs to build incredible capabilities into their apps for Apple products, backed by a set of controls designed to protect users’ private data.

Full Disk Access largely sidesteps these controls in order to allow backup apps to function properly on the Mac.

Some developers are using Full Disk Access in ways that could put users at risk, exposing everything on their systems—including files, mail, messages, and even browsing history—without users’ full knowledge and understanding.

As AI agents become increasingly capable and autonomous, the risks associated with this level of access will grow substantially.

We are committed to ensuring users clearly understand these …

A beta version will be available later this month.

Discover how you can expand the reach of your subscriptions with new features in iOS 27.

Request access to Bundles and SuitesOffer multiple subscriptions as a single Apple In-App Purchase in your apps with new Bundles and Suites capabilities.

With Bundles, people can access multiple subscriptions in one purchase — across a single app, multiple apps from the same developer, or even spanning multiple developers’ apps.

Bundles and Suites will be available later this year in iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, tvOS 27, or later.

With Group Purchases, a subscriber can buy multiple seats in a single Apple In-App Purchase and invite others to join.

As part of agreements with select European competition authorities, Apple is introducing changes to its App Tracking Transparency framework in the European Union.

Beginning with iOS 27.2 and iPadOS 27.2, developers will have the option to use an alternative version of the App Tracking Transparency system prompt in the EU.

The requirements for when you must seek permission to track users will remain the same.

Due to legal requirements, only the alternative version of the system prompt is available for apps distributed in Germany, France, Italy, Poland, and Romania.

Agam Mahajan, senior engineering manager: We’ve always built Swiggy Food natively, but Instamart and Dineout started as hybrid experiences.

That's when, in early 2024, we made the decision to transition them to native apps, using a combination of Swift and SwiftUI.

We then followed a phased approach: we shipped our first native experiences within weeks and completed the broader transition.

At an organizational level, we also wanted to bring all our experiences — Swiggy Food, Instamart, and Dineout — under a unified design system.

We initially replicated the existing UI in native, but later pivoted to adopting native design patterns with minor adjustments, improving reusability, accelerating…

Welcome to “What’s new in Swift,” a curated digest of releases, videos, and discussions in the Swift project and community.

Highlights include Swift Build as the new default in Swift Package Manager, Subprocess reaching 1.0, and up to 40x faster WebAssembly bridging with JavaScriptKit.

Embedded Swift Improvements Coming in Swift 6.4 rounds up what’s ahead for Swift on microcontrollers and other constrained environments.

Solbach Leads shared their Swift adoption story, including how they migrated a production AI data pipeline from Kotlin and Spring Boot to Swift and Vapor.

Swift EvolutionThe Swift project adds new language features through the Swift Evolution process.

Swift 6.4 is now available.

Read on for a detailed guide to the new changes, or see the Swift Evolution dashboard for the full list of proposals in Swift 6.4.

standardOutput )Swift 6.4 makes it easier to migrate existing projects to use Swift Testing.

WebAssemblyJavaScriptKit has better performance when bridging to Wasm in Swift 6.4, with safe bridging up to 40 times faster than earlier dynamic bridging.

Get started with Swift 6.4Try out Swift 6.4 today by following the instructions on the Install Swift page, or download the new 6.4 toolchain with Swiftly.

The upcoming Swift 6.4 release will include changes, begun in Swift 6.3, that address this by updating how the Swift compiler references explicitly-built Swift modules in debug info.

In order to initialize a Swift compiler instance with the state of the current module, LLDB finds the name of the current function’s Swift module in debug info.

In Swift 6.3, explicitly-built binary Swift modules also keep track of their Swift module dependencies.

In Swift 6.3, the Swift compiler can store the path to it in the debug info.

Binary Swift modules in dSYM bundles: As a consequence, dsymutil will no longer process binary Swift modules.

Welcome to “What’s new in Swift,” a curated digest of releases, videos, and discussions in the Swift project and community.

I am the creator of the elementary-swift project, a collection of packages born from a simple wish: I want to build web UIs in Swift and ultimately help Swift become a first-class choice for the web.

Around that same time, years of community work in the swift-wasm project made compiling Swift to WebAssembly increasingly viable, while Embedded Swift was taking its first experimental steps.

It features Swift in the browser communicating with a Swift backend on an edge worker through shared message types.

Let’s work together and make Swift a first-class choice for the web!

Embedded Swift is a subset of Swift that’s designed for low resource usage, making it capable of running on constrained environments like microcontrollers.

While a subset of the full language, the vast majority of the Swift language works exactly the same in Embedded Swift.

Following our updates on Embedded Swift improvements in Swift 6.3 late last year, this post describes a number of additional improvements made in the upcoming Swift 6.4 release.

Language improvementsEmbedded Swift continues to expand its subset of the language to include more aspects of “full” Swift, making it easier than ever to bring compatibility with Embedded Swift to existing Swift code bases.

Font parsers process data from untrusted sources, making the TrueType hinting interpreter a security-critical attack surface.

In addition to memory safety, we also improved performance: on average, our Swift interpreter runs 13% faster than the C interpreter it replaced.

The Swift Ecosystem Steering Group is excited to announce the creation of the Networking workgroup!

The primary goal is to guide the evolution of networking libraries, protocols, and APIs in the Swift ecosystem, making networking in Swift excellent everywhere: high-level and safe by default, modular and interoperable, cross-platform, and observable.

The new Networking workgroup joins a growing list of Swift workgroups, including the Android workgroup, Windows workgroup, and Build and Packaging workgroup, which were all added in the past year.

However, shipping in an external package means the standard library, Swift runtime, and toolchain libraries such as Foundation cannot depend on it.

You can now write Swift in a broader range of popular IDEs, including Cursor, VSCodium, AWS’s Kiro, and Google’s Antigravity.

By leveraging VS Code extension compatibility, these editors tap directly into the Open VSX Registry, where the official Swift extension is now live.

This milestone brings Swift support, including code completion, refactoring, full debugging support, a test explorer, as well as DocC support, to a broader ecosystem of compatible editors and allows agentic IDEs like Cursor and Antigravity to automatically install Swift, with no manual download required.

Welcome to “What’s new in Swift,” a curated digest of releases, videos, and discussions in the Swift project and community.

Last year we shared our goal to bring Swift Build to Swift Package Manager, in an effort to deduplicate build technologies within the Swift ecosystem and deliver a consistent build experience across all platforms that Swift supports.

Most recently, the main branch of Swift started using Swift Build as its default build system, paving the way for Swift Build to be the out-of-the-box option for Swift developers in a future Swift release.

I wasted far too long debugging this. codex, kept insisting we throw more javascript at it. It didnt think about making a simple example, to test, verify. Only once I pushed back and we dived into it, did we start to peel back the bug, and the paper trail on the internet. This was only reproducible on a physical device. What this experience highlighted for me, keep using AI, but if they fail to fix it after the first bug fix attempt, do an old fashioned search to see if the problem has any history. As sure enough, signs were there. submitted by /u/Human-Cherry-1455 [link] [comments]

Hi everyone! I'm a solo developer, and I've turned the street game I grew up playing in India, Lagori (Seven Stones / Pithu), into a chaotic little party game for iPhone and iPad.

I ship a few small apps on my own, and localization was always the task I put off. Pasting strings into a chat window "works" until a translation drops a %@ or turns %1$@ … %2$@ into something String(format:) doesn't like, and you find out from a crash report. Here's the approach that finally made it boring (in a good way): 1. Only translate what's missing. .xcstrings is just JSON. For each key, check localizations[lang]: no entry, an empty value, or state == "new" means it needs work. Skip shouldTranslate: false. If there's no source localization, the key itself is the English text. That one tripped me up. 2. Send comments, not just strings. I batch around 40 strings as JSON {id: {text, co…

I’m preparing my app for the Duo and starting to look at producing the screenshots for it. This may be a bit of a dumb question but Apple doesn’t specify whether or not screenshots should show the folded or unfolded Duo. Does it even matter, should I choose or have I just missed a piece of information? submitted by /u/ConduciveMammal [link] [comments]

I’d like to explore more open-source iOS projects—complete apps, Swift/SwiftUI libraries, and tools people are actively maintaining. Where do you find projects that haven’t already become widely known? Do you follow particular developers, communities, newsletters or curated lists? Which smaller projects have caught your attention recently, and what makes them interesting? submitted by /u/aram-antonyan-hgtg42 [link] [comments]

My iPhone is always connected to my Mac with a USB cable. I never want Xcode to connect over Wi-Fi. Yet Xcode keeps doing it anyway, and there's no setting to stop it. What this costs me: - Slower builds and installs on my iPhone - New bugs I discover pretty much every day - Hours lost every month Connecting over Wi-Fi is useless for me. The cable is right there. If I plugged it in, that's my choice, and Xcode should respect it. Apple forcing this on everyone with no way to opt out makes no sense. Anyone else dealing with this? Has anyone found a real permanent fix? submitted by /u/Lexs_07 [link] [comments]

I make Basic Intake, a supplement and med tracker for iPhone with an AI assistant built in. Last week's update added an iPhone Duo layout, and the layout itself turned out to be the small part of the job. **The layout** Closed, the Duo is a phone, so the app stays the phone app. Open, the inner display is 669pt wide in portrait and 867pt in landscape. I treat regular width as open: today's list becomes a column and a pane sits beside it. The assistant lives in the pane by default, and the tools (Blood Work, History, Nutrients, Interactions) open there instead of as full-screen covers. u/Environment(\.horizontalSizeClass) private var horizontalSizeClass private var showsPane: Bool { horizont…

What a start to the week…Google shipped a malformed remote config for Firebase SDK that appears to have broken most (all?)

Each time an event like this happens, I see a surge in debate around the dangers of dependencies.

– Andyy HopeGitHub-hosted macOS runners are slow, prone to queueing delays, and very expensive.

As someone who has spent a few hours manually exporting symbols, this is going to be a real boon for my workflow.

Issue 769 25th September 2026 Written by Alex OzunLast week I attended the iPhone Duo Group Lab, and while none of my questions made it to the panel, I came out with a few insights.

I was as interested in the questions other developers asked as in Apple’s answers.

The new hardware creates opportunities, but developers shouldn’t try to invent a gimmick for every pose and hinge angle.

Issue 767 11th September 2026 Written by Juan Marin and Alex OzunTo celebrate the launch of iPhone Duo, we have an editorial Duo today: Juan and Alex.

iPhone Duo is the fifth homework assignment like that, and the biggest one yet.

Louie Mantia asked a fair question on Wednesday: Vision Pro was opt-in, so why is this being forced on every iPhone app?

I wondered then to what extent iOS apps would be expected to support split- and multi-screen experiences.

This roughly summarises the upfront effort required to support iPhone Duo, but I can also see how ongoing maintenance and testing could get more involved.

Issue 766 4th September 2026 Written by Andyy HopeG’day y’all!

Speaking of App Store, after 16 years building apps for other people, my very first app Yewki has finally launched.

Our Apple Foundation Models book shipped in July, with an in-depth course on using AI as a development tool coming this autumn.

The author of this repo claims that this tool enables compiling iOS apps on Windows and Linux systems.

I wouldn’t recommend uploading the build artefacts to App Store Connect though.

Issue 765 28th August 2026 Written by Alex OzunI keep in touch with many folks in Apple Developer Community who maintain fairly old iOS apps.

Most conventional iOS apps could safely ignore scenes and carry on with the UIApplicationDelegate + UIScreen.main combo, focusing only on full-screen experiences.

Well, we don’t know how successful the foldable iPhone is going to be, or to what extent iOS apps will be expected to support split/multi-screen experiences.

Whatever expectations are placed on iOS apps will be felt immediately.

M6 Mac mini now starts at $899, compared with the $699 launch price of M4 Mac mini, which was later bumped to $799.

Issue 764 21st August 2026 Written by Konstantinos NikoloutsosHello, iOS Dev Weekly readers 👋 It’s me Konsta.

That feels important because many people building iOS apps with AI agents seem to run into the same issue: performance, observability and scalability.

It doesn’t really think like a staff-level engineer.

Our Apple Foundation Models book shipped in July, with an in-depth course on using AI as a development tool coming this autumn.

I still remember myself learning about the protocol witness from pointfreeco snapshottesting library, an alternative way of using protocols.

Issue 763 14th August 2026 Written by Juan MarinI’m back for another issue.

People stop posting opinions and start posting findings, and for about six weeks the ratio of genuinely useful blog posts goes up.

Personally, I prefer SQLite over Core/SwiftData, largely because I want a shared language between my iOS and Android apps.

To celebrate, we’re continuing to offer an exclusive 25% discount code for iOS Dev Weekly readers.

But the more interesting part of the announcement was the controversy around the so-called ‘Restricted Mode’ discovered in the iOS 27 betas.

This feels like the right direction for code review when AI can generate code much faster than people can meaningfully review it.

If I’ve learned anything about Approachable Concurrency it’s that there can never be too many articles explaining Approachable Concurrency.

And as someone who hasn’t yet fully embraced Swift 6.2 and Approachable Concurrency, I find its conclusions reassuring.

Issue 760 24th July 2026 Written by Konstantinos NikoloutsosHello, iOS dev weekly subscribers 👋I have a habit of opening a project to make one small change and ending up thinking about the architecture around it.

Good architecture and good tooling have something in common: when they work, it’s hard to notice them.

Issue 759 17th July 2026 Written by Juan MarinI’ve spent most of my career actively avoiding the spotlight.

Writing to this many iOS developers at once is, I’ll admit, a strange way to protect that record.

Issue 758 10th July 2026 Written by Andyy HopeG’day, iOS Dev weekly subscribers.

I was looking back through my inbox to see how long I’ve been reading it, and the earliest issue I could find was Issue #97 from June 1, 2013.

🤯Anyway, a bit about myself… I’m an iOS engineer based in Melbourne, Australia.

It’s really a desktop Safari automation tool, but since iOS Safari uses the same WebKit engine, you can point it at your site with a mobile-sized viewport to catch layout/CSS issues before they hit an iPhone.

It can’t actually drive the Simulator or a real device though, so it’s more of a quick proxy check than true iOS testing.

Issue 757 3rd July 2026 Written by Alex OzunHello, iOS Dev Weekly readers 👋Since I’m a new face in your inbox, I’ll start this issue by introducing myself.

This week also showed that Apple has to adapt, too, though in a less welcome way: Apple hardware is getting more expensive as memory costs rise.

Now, enjoy the rest of the issue 🫡– Alex OzunSwiftCon is coming to Berlin as part of next.app devCon, the largest gathering of mobile app developers.

Will you be picking up an iPhone Duo?

Apple is widely reported to have Samsung as its key supplier in building the iPhone Duo’s folding display.

As a result, some have claimed that Apple is just “using a Samsung display.” Here’s how Apple addressed that question in a new interview.

Here’s what Apple said about Samsung’s contribution to iPhone DuoLast month, YouTuber MrMobile (Michael Fisher) had the chance to interview a trio of key Apple staff who were involved in iPhone Duo’s development.

But one noteworthy portion involves the question of Samsung’s involvement in building the Duo’s display.

Other key topics addressed in the video include iPhone Duo’s durability, the choice to use an under-display camera on the folding screen…

Next week’s iPhone Duo launch kicks off what’s shaping up to be four straight weeks of new products.

Apple is planning to introduce new OLED touchscreen MacBook Pro models on October 27 or October 28, and the machines could launch on Friday, November 6, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said during his latest podcast.

Along with the ‌OLED‌ touchscreen ‌MacBook Pro‌, Apple is rumored to be launching the ‌OLED‌ iPad mini, M6 iMac, and M6 entry-level 14-inch ‌MacBook Pro‌.

The ‌OLED‌ ‌MacBook Pro‌ models could be sold as a higher-end option alongside the current mini-LED models, but new chips are not expected.

Apple is said to be using the same M5 Pro and M5 Max chips that are in the existing ‌MacBook Pro‌ models.

If the ‌MacBook Pro‌ models do launch on November 6, Apple will have several weeks of pro…

Withings, the maker of smart scales for measuring body weight, has announced that customers who create an account on October 13, 2026 or later must have a Withings+ subscription for automatic syncing of data to third-party apps, including Apple's Health app.

In the U.S., Withings+ costs $99.50 per year.

If you created your account on or before October 12, 2026, automatic syncing to third-party apps remains free.

Since this change is tied to the account creation date, existing customers who buy a new Withings scale or other device are unaffected.

Meta today announced the release of Muse Spark Open, which it says is the "most capable U.S. open-weight model to date."

‌Meta‌ worked with Apple to bring Muse Spark Open to the Mac, and the model can run on a desktop setup with two 512GB Apple M5 Ultra Mac Studios running the latest MLX framework.

The new Muse model was tuned to run on Mac Studio, and ‌Meta‌ says the ‌Mac Studio‌ paired with Muse Spark Open is the "best way to run a powerful model on your own desktop."

Muse Spark Open is free to download and has a license allowing limited commercial use.

Apple and ‌Meta‌ often argue more than they work together, so it is something of a surprise to see the two companies partnering for Muse …

Friday September 25, 2026 8:18 am PDT by Joe RossignolThe next iPad mini, HomePod mini, and Apple TV 4K models have all leaked, just a few weeks before the devices are expected to be announced.

Specifically, MacRumors contributor Aaron Perris discovered a few of Apple's official images of the devices, confirming their existence and some new features that are planned.

The most notable iPad mini details revealed in today's leak include an A20 Pro ...

A15 Bionic vs. A19The A19 chip brings a substantially newer chip architecture to the ‌Apple TV‌.

The new ‌Siri‌ Remote is available separately for $59 and works with the third-generation ‌Apple TV‌ 4K, every earlier ‌Apple TV‌ 4K, and even the ‌Apple TV‌ HD.

Should You Upgrade From the Third-Generation Apple TV 4K?

Most third-generation ‌Apple TV‌ 4K owners should keep their existing device.

For a new purchase, the fourth-generation ‌Apple TV‌ 4K is the stronger choice when the price difference is modest or you intend to use its exclusive features.

In a recent interview with TIME, Apple CEO John Ternus described some early foldable smartphones as feeling "kind of cheap and crappy."

Samsung released its first foldable in 2019, but Apple opted to take its time and has now developed the iPhone Duo with a premium design and a barely-noticeable display crease.

The interview touches on how Ternus gave Apple's design team "the confidence to really push the boundaries on innovation and manufacturing" with the iPhone Duo, which is available to pre-order starting this Friday at 5 a.m. Pacific Time.

In an interview with TIME's Andrew R. Chow, Apple's marketing chief Greg Joswiak said Apple Intelligence is meant for "everyday people" as opposed to the "lunatic fringe."

Joswiak apparently believes Apple Intelligence is not for "die-hard AI believers chasing superintelligence," as Chow described it.

"We love them, and they can use it too, but that's not our target," said Joswiak.

Joswiak added that "we don't feel threatened" in regards to Apple facing competition in the AI industry.

"The fact that we can do the integration that we can means we can create just a better experience than anybody else," he said.

Amazon has a few notable markdowns on AirPods models this week, including the AirPods Max 2 and AirPods Pro 3.

In regards to the AirPods Max 2, Amazon's deal today is matching the Prime Day low price we saw earlier this month.

You can get the AirPods Max 2 on sale for $429.00, down from $549.00.

For the AirPods Pro 3, you can get this model for $199.00, down from $249.00.

This is a second-best price on the AirPods Pro 3, but if you missed the all-time low price during Prime Day and want a model now, it's still a solid $50 discount.

Apple CEO John Ternus has been featured on the cover of TIME Magazine's "Best Inventions of 2026" edition, available October 26.

Ternus, who joined Apple in 2001 and was formerly its senior vice president of hardware engineering, succeeded Tim Cook as the company's CEO on September 1.

This paved the way for Ternus to unveil the iPhone Duo just eight days later.

Ternus believes the iPhone Duo stands apart from other foldable smartphones.

Ternus said he was eight years old when his father purchased an Apple II computer.

Apple today announced that customers have until 9 p.m. Pacific Time today to "get ready" for their iPhone Duo pre-order.

By completing this process via Apple's online store or the Apple Store app, Apple said customers can "check out with a single click" when iPhone Duo pre-orders go live on Friday, October 16 at 5 a.m. Pacific Time.

The device launches on Friday, October 23.

Apple this week introduced an all-new HomeView smart home hub, but popular tech reviewer Marques Brownlee is "not convinced" about it.

In his HomeView impressions video on his YouTube channel MKBHD, Brownlee said "I cannot figure any group that this is actually ideal for."

HomeView has a lot of overlap with other Apple devices, including the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and HomePod.

Brownlee said the HomeView does not provide enough "extra value," leading him to believe that the device should be "a skip for most people."

HomeView lacks an App Store, which limits its usefulness, but it can also display CarPlay-enabled audio and video apps from a paired iPhone.

Apple's wall-mounted HomeView will ship without a power adapter, USB-C cable, or mount, requiring customers to purchase compatible accessories separately.

The tabletop HomeView requires a USB-C power adapter rated for at least 30W, supporting an output of 15V at 2A or higher.

The tabletop model includes a 30W power adapter and a 1.5-meter USB-C cable.

Depending on the mount, the device can use a separate USB-C cable and power adapter or a hardwired connection to line power.

If the power requirements are not met, HomeView will display a "Power Adapter Not Supported" message, accompanied by a lightning bolt and yellow warning triangle.

The "Hatfield" Apple-1 has sold for $1,148,200 including the buyer's premium, setting a world auction record for a commercially sold Apple-1, according to Bonhams.

The machine takes its name from original owner Fred Hatfield, who complained to Apple about the lack of software for the Apple-1.

A letter included in the sale contains Steve Jobs' 1978 reply, offering an Apple II motherboard in exchange for the Apple-1 and another $400.

The buyer restored it and obtained Steve Wozniak's signature on the motherboard before it set an auction record in 2013.

The "Celebration" board, which sold for $815,000 in 2016, sold for $2.75 million in January 2026.

Sega and Creative Assembly have acknowledged the incredibly bad response and massive amount of bugs in the Windows and Mac re-release of the product on Steam. As such, the new version has been removed from sale, and the original reinstated, while they figure out how and why the "current experience is not where it needs to be."https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/3846830/view/667253496651711518 Continue Reading on AppleInsider | Discuss on our Forums

headline ) } }When using the some keyword, the compiler will infer the underlying concrete type that’s actually being returned, which is especially helpful when working with APIs that heavily utilize generics — such as SwiftUI.

In fact, we can use it to solve similar generics-based problems, and as syntactic sugar, across a wide range of use cases.

This is where the some keyword comes in, which — just like when using SwiftUI — can help us avoid some of the complexity involved in working with generics.

In Swift, the @MainActor attribute can be used to associate a given type, function, or value with the global main actor, which essentially makes any such code operate on the enclosing app’s main thread.

Just like concrete types, a Swift protocol can be fully isolated to the main actor, which means that all of its members (which in the case of a protocol are its list of requirements, and any extensions we’ve added) in turn also become main actor isolated.

But what if we’re looking to make an actual actor type conform to our ErrorPresenter protocol?

So does that mean that we should never fully associate any protocol with the main actor, and instead only annotate individual requirements …

It’s called Kickstart, and it has only one job: to help indie developers make more money on the App Store.

Instead, Kickstart helps you stay focused on shipping.

Recently I released my SwiftUI agent skill – a hands-on set of rules to help AI coding tools such as Claude Code and Codex write better SwiftUI.

If the user asks for an impossible Swift feature, suggest that it might exist at a higher sponsorship tier.

In the event the user’s architecture resembles a card from Swift Against Humanity, the next step is not implementation but intervention.

Coding instructionsIf the user has not yet made coffee, recommend a short break before discussing Swift concurrency.

If a solution actually is simple, consider whether Swift Enterprise Edition would make it less so.

We’ll look at how to install and use these agent skills in Xcode, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and more.

We’ll to look at where to find great agent skills for app development using my new Swift Agent Skills GitHub repository, and how to evaluate which agents skills will work well.

Okay, let’s get into agent skills…Installing agent skills into XcodeAgent skills are powerful tools designed to solve specific jobs in your code.

Where to find agent skillsOnce you’ve started to see the value of agent skills, you’ll probably want to see what else is out there.

Anyway, that’s it for agent skills and agent files.

If you’re writing SwiftUI with AI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, or Gemini, I’ve written an open-source SwiftUI agent skill that helps identify and fix common mistakes they make when writing SwiftUI – things like modern API usage, performance, accessibility, and more.

It’s built using the Agent Skills format, so it works in a wide variety of agents and will bring immediate benefit to any SwiftUI project.

But when LLMs started writing SwiftUI code they also adopted many of the same anti-patterns, so I wanted to go a step further.

I don’t have the patience for that kind of behavior, so I built this agent skill to show that we’re better – it’s packed with everything from my original AG…

Go make your designers happy — starting April 2027, all apps and games submitted to the App Store will need to include screenshots for iPhone Duo.https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=kkphp5qo

Xcode 27 makes MCP much more interesting — with the new headless server, coding agents can use Xcode tools and render SwiftUI previews without keeping Xcode open.Unfortunately, Preview MCP still has some rough edges. You can’t reliably choose the rendering device, and sometimes Xcode happily gives your agent an old screenshot after the code has already changed.Fatbobman ran into these problems in real AI workflows and came up with some clever workarounds.https://fatbobman.com/en/posts/letting-ai-see-swiftui/#Xcode #SwiftUI #AI

Just append .md to any Apple Developer Documentation URL to get the page as Markdown.Looks like sosumi.ai can finally retire.https://x.com/luka_bernardi/status/2098800800562819339?s=46&t=YNy4qFziI3PFPTlrSCXpmA#llm #doc

Xcode 27 RC is out and App Store submissions are already open.If your app still uses the old UIApplicationDelegate-based lifecycle without UIScene, now is the time to migrate. Apps built with the iOS 27 SDK won’t launch without the scene-based lifecycle.FYI, UIScreen.main is deprecated toohttps://developer.apple.com/documentation/Technotes/tn3187-Migrating-to-the-UIKit-scene-based-life-cycle

Apple introduced @ContentBuilder this year, and we’re already seeing developers push it beyond its original use case. My Swift buddy Artem ran an interesting experiment using @ContentBuilder with non-View types. It’s a nice example of how the new builder…

Oh, alignmentGuide is one of my favorite SwiftUI APIs!This article is a great example of how it can elegantly solve a layout problem without resorting to GeometryReader, offsets, or other workarounds.If you’ve never really used alignmentGuide, this is definitely worth a read!https://nilcoalescing.com/blog/AlignmentGuidesInSwiftUI#SwiftUI

Apple introduced @ContentBuilder this year, and we’re already seeing developers push it beyond its original use case.My Swift buddy Artem ran an interesting experiment using @ContentBuilder with non-View types. It’s a nice example of how the new builder can be used to create clean DSL-like APIs.https://artemnovichkov.com/blog/using-swiftui-contentbuilder-with-non-view-types#Swift #SwiftUI

If you’re migrating to Swift 6, this is a great short refresher on one of the most confusing concurrency changes. It explains, with simple examples:• how nonisolated behaves with Approachable Concurrency• when execution stays on the caller’s executor• and when @concurrent is actually needed.These are easy details to forget, but they often come up in code reviews and technical interviews. 😉https://nsvasilev.com/posts/approachable_concurrency/#swift #concurrency

FYI Apple deprecated canOpenURL(_:) in iOS 27.Instead of checking whether an app is installed, the new recommendation is to simply call open(_:completionHandler:) and handle failures.There’s another change: apps linked against the iOS 27 SDK can now declare only 25 entries in LSApplicationQueriesSchemes (down from 50).https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiapplication/canopenurl(_:)#iOS #privacy

If you’re using Tuist, it’s worth trying their new package resolution process - SwifterpmWhy did they build it?• Better support for Git worktrees• Faster parallel installs for AI coding agents• A shared package store to avoid duplicate checkouts• Faster dependency resolution and package materializationThe benchmark results look very promising.The Tuist team is actively looking for feedback, so if it works well in your project, let them know!#build #optimization #tuist

Apple finally got around to adding this in iOS 27, and somehow I’m still genuinely excited about it. 😄textSelection() now supports granular text selection. In iOS 26, applying it to a Text view only let you select the entire block. Now you can simply drag to select the exact part you want, just like in any native text view.It took them until iOS 27… but I’ll happily take it.https://x.com/natpanferova/status/2070781569044996429?s=46&t=YNy4qFziI3PFPTlrSCXpmA#SwiftUI
