To support this, the age rating questionnaire in App Store Connect now includes questions about your app’s social media capabilities.

A social media capability is defined as the ability to redistribute, amplify, or interact with user-generated content through a social feed or similar discovery method.

The Time Allowance category for Social Media is based on whether your app or game offers social media capabilities, regardless of the app category selected in App Store Connect.

Apps with these capabilities will display a new Social Media content descriptor on their App Store product page.

If you indicate that your app or game includes social media capabilities but they are disabled for anyone…

Attachment 12 of the Apple Developer Program License Agreement has been revised to specify terms for iOS apps in Brazil, including alternative distribution, alternative payments and out-of-app offers, and the Core Technology Commission.

Please review the changes and sign in to your account to accept the updated terms.

Translations of the updated agreement will be available on the Apple Developer website within one month.

As part of a recent agreement with Brazil’s competition regulator CADE (Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Econômica), Apple is introducing changes to iOS that create new options for developers' apps in Brazil.

Beginning with iOS 26.5, developers can distribute apps on alternative app marketplaces, operate alternative app marketplaces, process app payments for digital goods and services outside of Apple In-App Purchase in iOS, and more.

The new options for downloading apps from alternative app marketplaces and making app payments open new avenues for malware, fraud, scams, and privacy and security risks.

Those protections include Notarization for iOS apps, an authorization process for app ma…

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

This year we also introduced workshops, including “Inclusive by Design” by Danielle Lewis, and for the Swift community: “Write Faster, Smarter Swift” by Paul Hudson.

What’s new in Swift featured changes in Swift since last year, including a preview of what’s coming in Swift 6.4, like up to 4x faster URL parsing and support for async code in defer blocks.

A new Swift package, Foundation Models framework utilities, was released with tools for working with LLMs, including custom skills and context management helpers.

Dave Lester is a Senior Product Manager at Apple and member of the Swift website workgroup.

Since its launch, Swift Package Index has become an essential part of the Swift ecosystem, helping developers discover quality packages, evaluate compatibility, and make informed decisions about dependencies.

Recently, Swift Package Index has grown alongside the Swift project’s multi-platform expansion, extending its compatibility testing to encompass Linux, Android, and WebAssembly.

Today, Swift Package Index announced that it has joined Apple and continues its mission:Together, we’re building a comprehensive package registry to serve the Swift community’s evolving needs.

To start, we’re focusing on some of the many local meetup groups sharing Swift content:Around the world, local meetup groups and conferences bring Swift developers together, and some even predate Swift itself!

In May the SF Swift meetup hosted a talk by Dan Federman, Agentify Your Swift Repo, which covers building an agent for CI and review feedback.

I encourage more folks to get involved in their local Swift meetup.

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.

For a full list of language evolution proposals in Swift 6.3, see the Swift Evolution dashboard.

The list of Swift Testing evolution proposals included in Swift 6.3 are ST-0012, ST-0013, ST-0014, ST-0015, ST-0016, ST-0017, and ST-0020.

For a detailed look at what’s new in embedded Swift, see Embedded Swift Improvements coming in Swift 6.3.

With this SDK, you can start developing native Android programs in Swift, update your Swift packages to support building for Android, and use Swift Java and Swift Java JNI Core to integrate Swift code into existing Android applications written in Kotlin/Java.

You can find instructions for installing a Swift 6.3 toolchain on the Install Swift page.

TelemetryDeck is an app analytics service specifically for developers, designed to manage usage analytics that are anonymized, privacy-focused, and really easy to use.

Under the hood, a Swift Vapor project is just a Swift Package with some dependencies.

Your Swift Vapor service is almost never the bottleneck.

Although profiling Swift code is easy, most slowdowns in a web service will arise from a combination of database, storage, and traffic load.

Welcome to this edition of “What’s New in Swift,” where we share interesting projects and updates in the Swift community that deserve visibility to a broader audience.

For this edition of “What’s new in Swift,” we invited a developer to share their experience:Hi, I’m Nick Sloan.

We chose Swift for Studioworks because of how easy it is to write safe and reliable code with great performance.

Our Swift project makes use of Hummingbird 2, Soto (for its incredible DynamoDB Codable support), Hummingbird MacroRouting, and Elementary.

We’ve been deploying web applications with PHP and Python for decades, and getting started with a Swift web project was certainly a bit slower.

Swift on the web has been a resounding success for us, and I hope we’ll see this part of the community continue to grow!

We are excited to announce the creation of the Windows workgroup!

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

The workgroup will build upon these efforts and focus on work to:Improve and maintain Windows support for the official Swift distribution.

I don't even know how to write this properly, so I'm just gonna write it. We worked on this app for almost a year. It was doing well. ($100k MRR) Thousands of people paying every month, good rating, people actually using it and staying. Four families were living from this. Then one day I check my emails. Pending Termination Notice. Everything gone from the store. Payments frozen. Transfers disabled. No warning before, no "hey we noticed something", nothing. Just done. And the reason they give you is a copy paste paragraph. Something about "misleading purchase flows" and "scareware tactics". That's it. Account wide. They don't tell you which app. They don't tell you which screen. They don't …

With the advent of AI, the marginal cost of software is trending towards zero. Software is no longer a scarce resource. Absolutely not a new idea at all, but the implications hit me hard as I was considering monetization models for my apps. Unless you are lucky (network effects, timing), grandfathered in, or provide exceptional value, the natural cost of software is free. Intuit is an example of a grandfathered-in, exceptionally high-value software approach. And Intuit knows it. They leverage their advantage to a predatory extent. My wife is an EA, and I know for a fact Intuit puts the screws to all its users. Switching costs are high, and since the sector is an oligopoly, there's really no…

Hello folks, I am preparing a major update of an app and it has features I am going to charge a subscription for. Apple requires me to have a link to Terms of Service because of that. AFIK I can use Apple's generic terms of service but I am not sure about that. I am also not sure what to put in my own TOS and how much of it is/could overlap with the Privacy Policy. The app does not collect any data, it uses a combination of SwiftData + CloudKit + Apple Intelligence for a smart feature/ Any advice would be much appreciated, thanks! submitted by /u/ivanezzzzz [link] [comments]

There are lot of different ways to perform navigation in SwiftUI. You can use navigationDestination on the parent screen and let is handle the navigation. You can create a router that works with enum based routes etc. In either case. How are you testing your navigation flow for your app? Are you writing unit tests? Are you writing UI Tests or even complete E2E test that test a complete feature end to end? OR are you writing all of them? A simple scenario can be: As a user when I create a student account then after creation, I should be taken to the student home screen. submitted by /u/Select_Bicycle4711 [link] [comments]

I have both an iPhone SE2 and iPhone 15 and both are plugged into my mac at the same time. I built the app in Xcode and am running it on both devices.

Silent background notifications were failing to read OAuth tokens from Keychain while the phone was locked, throwing error -25308 (errSecInteractionNotAllowed). How we fixed it: Changed Keychain accessibility attribute from kSecAttrAccessibleWhenUnlocked to kSecAttrAccessibleAfterFirstUnlock.

Solved all background sync failures while keeping token storage safe. How do you handle Keychain access in background tasks? submitted by /u/datawithabhi [link] [comments]

I made my first iOS app in 2018, then stepped away from building apps for a while. Over the last year, I decided to start making iOS apps again. About six months ago, I decided to build a notes app. A big part of the project was figuring out how to make a Markdown editor that stayed fast while typing, even with larger notes. I ended up building the parser in Rust, and recently extracted it from the app and open sourced it as Cindermark. A few things it does: - Incrementally re-parses only the affected blocks after an edit - Returns UTF-16 offsets that map directly to TextKit and NSAttributedString - Produces blocks, inline spans, headings, wiki links, and document stats in one pass - Suppor…

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.

We’re even being affected a little at the Swift Package Index, although not to the point of it being a huge issue, and not in the main repository.

It’s not a huge problem, but it’s more work, and shows how far this issue stretches.

Having a policy in place is a great place to start, and I’m glad to see Hummingbird tackle the subject.

This issue isn’t going to go away, and having a written policy helps prevent arguments.

Bloomberg reports that US senators from both sides of the aisle are urging Apple CEO Tim Cook to commit by August 21 to not using memory chips from Chinese suppliers CXMT and YMTC.

At the same time, the Financial Times reported that Apple was in negotiations to purchase chips from YMTC.

The FT would go on to report that Apple was already testing CXMT’s DRAM chips.

The report also detailed Micron’s efforts to persuade the administration to reject Apple’s request, arguing that allowing Chinese suppliers into Apple’s supply chain could undermine domestic memory production.

After Qualcomm released its quarterly report and projected weaker-than-expected profit for the current quarter, the company’s CEO told Reuters that supply constraints would cause its revenue from Apple products to decline faster than expected.

Qualcomm is ‘replacing Apple with data center’Over the past few years, Apple has been moving forward with plans to replace Qualcomm-made modems with its own components, building on its 2019 acquisition of Intel’s smartphone modem business.

Qualcomm, for its part, has repeatedly sought to reassure investors that it was prepared for the loss of Apple business.

Now, CEO Cristiano Amon warns that this decline will accelerate, partly because the ongoing su…

Battersea Power Station is home to Apple's UK headquartersApple today alleged that a new UK proposal targeting App Store fees amounts to price regulation, warning that it could undermine innovation and investment.

Apple fights App Store regulation in the UKAs reported by Reuters, Apple today submitted a formal response to a consultation by the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), pushing back against proposed rules that would allow app developers to link to alternative payment options.

The CMA can impose such requirements after designating Apple and Google as having “strategic market status” in their respective mobile platform markets last year.

Under the proposal, Apple and Google…

Yesterday the US government announced its was updating its list of banned foreign-made products to include “advanced robotic devices,” and today an FCC spokesperson confirmed that applies to robot vacuums too.

But spying doesn’t require legs — and neither does the FCC’s robot ban.

The robot ban will sweep up robot vacuum cleaners too, FCC media relations director Katie Gorscak confirms to The Verge.

And that applies to products we might think benign, such as robot vacuums, lawnmowers, and more.

But depending on how this ban plays out, the market for robot vacuums could take some wild turns in the near future.

The US Department of Justice has asked the court to reconsider a recent ruling that would allow Apple to pursue records from 14 federal agencies in its antitrust case.

A bit of backgroundEarlier this month, retired federal judge Jose Linares, who is serving as a special discovery master in the case, rejected the government’s effort to block Apple from seeking documents from 14 federal agencies as part of discovery in the DOJ’s 2024 antitrust lawsuit against the company.

DOJ asks court to reverse Apple’s discovery winNow, the DOJ, backed by declarations from officials at several federal agencies and offices, has asked Judge Linares to reconsider that decision.

The DOJ says Linares did not co…

Apple Maps recently added a new ‘Suggested Places’ feature in iOS 26.5, but it’s getting even better in iOS 27.

iOS 27 improves Apple Maps’ new ‘Suggested Places’ feature by adding a lot more recommendationsWhen iOS 26.5 launched in May, it came with a pair of Apple Maps-focused changes, including ‘Suggested Places.’ The feature offers recommendations inside Maps’ search screen of places you should check out.

Now when I’m looking for a new place to try, whether locally or for future travels elsewhere, the Maps search screen is quickly becoming a go-to.

In addition to expanding the Suggested Places feature, iOS 27 includes several other Apple Maps improvements you can read about here.

A new Pew Research Center survey finds that 77% of U.S. adults support banning middle and high school students from using cellphones during class.

Only 18% now oppose classroom bans.

For the first time, more Americans support than oppose preventing cellphone use for the entire school day.

About half of U.S. adults (48%) back “bell-to-bell” school cellphone bans for middle and high school students, up from 36% in 2024.

Should schools restrict iPhones only during class, enforce bell-to-bell bans, or leave the decision to students and parents?

Apple's 20th anniversary iPhone is expected to arrive in the fall of 2027 with the most significant redesign the device has seen since the iPhone X.

The first iPhone was announced in January 2007 and went on sale that June, meaning the device's 20th anniversary technically falls on June 29, 2027.

Apple could skip the name "iPhone 19" in the same way it skipped "iPhone 9" ahead of the iPhone X in 2017, with rumors so far variably referring to the device as the "iPhone 20" and the "iPhone XX."

With the device still more than a year away, the final 20th anniversary iPhone could still change considerably from the current picture provided by rumors.

Apple is expected to launch the 20th anniversa…

Qualcomm expects its Apple revenue to decline faster than it previously anticipated, Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon told Reuters in an interview following the company's earnings call for the third fiscal quarter of 2026.

Qualcomm expects the drop in Apple revenue to start in the fourth quarter.

Apple said new UK App Store rules would give regulators a "highly intrusive" role dictating how it runs its business, reports Reuters.

Apple submitted feedback to the UK's Competition and Markets Authority as it considers forcing Apple to change its ‌App Store‌ rules around steering.

The CMA wants Apple to let developers link to payment options outside of the ‌App Store‌, which the CMA says will cut fees and boost competition.

Developers in the UK are not currently able to direct customers outside of the ‌App Store‌, even though that's allowed with the current U.S. ‌App Store‌ rules and the EU ‌App Store‌ rules.

Apple said the ‌App Store‌ facilitated over £46.5 billion in UK billings and sa…

OpenAI president Greg Brockman recently did an interview with Joanna Stern, where he commented on the lawsuit OpenAI is facing from Apple and talked about OpenAI's product plans.

Apple accused OpenAI of a months-long scheme to steal confidential Apple information from Apple employees interviewing with OpenAI.

OpenAI wants to offer "value over time" and deliver on a device that's "built for the AI era" and "maximally useful."

He had ChatGPT answer a question about what OpenAI's first AI device would look like.

Brockman's full interview, which goes into more detail on ChatGPT's future, OpenAI's hardware work, and the company's ambitions, can be watched on YouTube.

Apple this month began selling certified refurbished Studio Display XDR models in the U.S. for the first time since the display was released in March.

A refurbished Studio Display XDR with a VESA mount adapter and standard glass is priced at $2,459, down from $2,899 for the equivalent new configuration.

This amounts to a 15% discount, which is typical for Apple's refurbished products.

Refurbished models with nano-texture glass are also available at a discount.

The Studio Display XDR features a 27-inch screen with mini-LED backlighting, 5K resolution, peak brightness of 2,000 nits for HDR content, and up to a 120Hz refresh rate.

We have recapped all the changes to AppleCare+ and the AppleCare One bundle below.

In the U.S., Apple raised the prices on monthly ‌and annual AppleCare‌+ subscription plans for Macs and iPads by $0.50/month and $5/year, respectively.

Monthly and annual AppleCare+ subscription plans expanded to a wider range of Apple products in Canada and Japan for the first time this month.

Introduced in the U.S. last year, AppleCare One covers up to three devices as part of a single monthly subscription, and the total cost can be lower than multiple AppleCare+ plans.

In the United Kingdom, for example, Apple said customers can save up to £11.48/month vs. paying for three separate AppleCare+ with Theft an…

MacRumors videographer Dan Barbera has been testing Samsung's new foldable, and the wider 4:3 display bodes well for the ‌iPhone Ultra‌.

Unlike most of Samsung's Galaxy foldables, the Z Fold8 is wider with a tablet-like look and feel when it's unfolded.

It's 5.5 inches when closed and 7.6 inches when open, and those are just about the exact dimensions we've seen rumored for the ‌iPhone Ultra‌.

Rumors about a book-style Apple foldable started around March 2018, and Samsung's first foldable came out in 2019.

Dan went into testing expecting the rumored price would keep the ‌iPhone Ultra‌ niche, but after using the Galaxy Z Fold8 and showing other people the design, he's now convinced the ‌iPho…

Google today updated Gemini for Mac to add a new quick keyboard shortcut that activates voice mode.

By long-pressing the Fn key, users can speak naturally to Gemini from any window on their desktop machine.

Gemini supports intelligent dictation, so users can speak to the chatbot using natural language and Gemini will transcribe their words to text.

Gemini is also able to generate and edit images when the screen-aware mode is turned on.

Gemini's new Mac voice mode is rolling out globally to all Gemini for Mac users in English, with Google planning to add more languages in the future.

In iOS 27 and iPadOS 27, Apple has finally given you a way to get rid of it.

The post went viral, and in iOS 27, Apple has done something about it.

Some of the biggest discounts you'll find in Best Buy's Black Friday in July sale are on TVs, with major savings from popular brands like Insignia, Samsung, and LG.

With the new Apple Upgrade program in the U.S., you can now lease an iPhone, but is it worth it?

In the U.S., the device costs $1,099 upfront, but through Apple Upgrade you can lease it for $45.99/month for 12 months.

If you had purchased both the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro upfront for $1,099 each, the total cost would have been $2,198.

However, the Apple Upgrade program can be worth it for customers who value convenience and predictability.

Since the final payment is equal to the original retail price minus the payments already made, Apple Upgrade effectively becomes a 12-month, interest-free financing plan.

The Apple Maps app is a great way to get around, whether you're using it while driving via CarPlay or just walking.

But if you've moved home and ever tried to change your address in your iPhone's Maps app, you'll know it can be tricky.

The job can be complicated considerably if you also have your home address pinned, too.

The first is that your home's address isn't normally set by the Maps app itself.

However, if you have your home set up as a pinned location in Maps, you'll also need to go a step further.

Apple wants to use China-sourced chips for products sold in China during the AI-driven memory shortage, but a letter from US senators hopes to persuade Apple otherwise.

Apple has looked to blacklisted Chinese companies to bolster its supply chain, but, according to a letter viewed by Bloomberg, US senators want to urge Apple away from this solution.

The US senators have asked Apple to reconsider using chips from either company and commit to not using them by August 21.

Apple's latest China problemWhile Apple isn't banned from buying chips from either company, it could face a few repercussions.

When the AI boom ends, Apple sourcing chips for devices sold in China will be the least of our wor…

The 2026 iPhone lineup could divest further from Qualcomm as Apple increases use of its in-house C-series modem, though Qualcomm blames supply constraints on a faster-than-expected transition.

Qualcomm and Apple's relationship has been in question since Apple's release of an in-house C-series modem.

As the iPhone and other Apple products look to get away from Qualcomm modems, a supply chain shortage offers an excellent loophole for escaping a contract earlier than expected.

If Apple is able to include C-series modems in more of the iPhone 18 lineup than previously expected, that'll be a big win for Apple.

The Qualcomm CEO suggests that Apple's revenue has been effectively replaced by its en…

Apple has told UK regulators that the plans to adopt more EU-like measures over the App Store are too restrictive, go beyond promoting competition, and amount to illegal regulation of service pricing.

As the regulator's open consultation with interested parties concludes, Reuters reports how Apple has formally objected to the proposals.

Apple further described this as going beyond promoting competition and instead giving the UK a "highly intrusive" presence in how it runs the App Store.

Saying that the App Store facilitated over $60 billion for the UK in 2025, Apple also noted that there was no evidence the changes would lower prices for users.

The CMA's proposals also included requiring Ap…

The shortcut lets users call on Gemini without opening a separate chat window or copying text between apps.

Gemini's initial Mac implementation appears more focused on rewriting and inserting text within the active window.

The new Gemini voice workflow makes practical sense because the feature removes several steps from a common AI task.

Google has two promotional videos, one of which appeared to use an AI narrator voice complete with an on-screen narrator bubble.

It's hard to imagine a more on-brand way to promote an AI feature, short of having Gemini answer the press emails too.

Since its founding, Sam Altman's OpenAI has been at the center of multiple controversies, with Apple's intellectual property theft suit being just the latest chapter.

New figures from China show that the overall smartphone market has declined, yet sales for foreign models like the iPhone have soared.

Ahead of the next Apple earnings call on July 30, 2026, there is a report that iPhone sales have again gone up in the crucial Chinese market.

According to Reuters, the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) has released certain figures for June smartphone sales.

But it's also one that has for years seen a steady decline in iPhone sales, so Apple turning that around is significant.

Separately, figures for overall Apple sales in China reportedly rose 38% year over year, which is a marked turnaround after years of continuous decline.

Cook and Ternus appeared together July 27 at the Los Angeles premiere of the Apple TV series Ted Lasso, giving Apple an unusually public setting to present its approaching leadership handoff.

The event was Cook's final Apple TV premiere as CEO and Ternus' first since Apple named him as Cook's successor.

Ternus isn't showing his handTernus offered few details when asked how he might change Apple TV after becoming CEO.

Asked whether he had begun discussing his own plans for Apple TV with services chief Eddy Cue, Ternus said, "I think it's pretty amazing right now."

The answers don't reveal whether Ternus plans substantial changes to Apple TV.

Apple has had countless patents granted over the smart ring technology it still won't tell anyone about, but a new one shows just how an Apple Ring might control all of your devices.

Yes, an Apple Ring would surely be a health monitor, and yes, it would likely dominate the fitness market, but it won't break up marriages.

If the HomePod knew you were looking at it, and if the Apple Ring correctly conveyed the gesture you're trying to make.

Apple's strength is in its ecosystem"Electronic device system with ring devices" is an unusually comprehensive patent for Apple.

His previous work for Apple includes multiple Apple Ring patents and patent applications, dating back to 2024.

Goldman Sachs has increased its AAPL price target to $370, with the firm expecting good third-quarter results, and a faithful audience keeping purchase volumes up even after hardware price increases.

Ahead of Apple's quarterly financial results release and call with analysts on Thursday, Goldman Sachs has raised its bar for Apple to reach.

In a note to investors seen by AppleInsider, issued on July 27, Goldman Sachs has increased the price target from $340 to $370.

For the Q3 period, Goldman Sachs predicts revenue of $110.1 billion, representing 17% year-over-year growth.

This is the second target price increase in 2026 from Goldman Sachs.

Terms for iPad or Mac sit at 24 months or 36 months.

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

Kickstart helps with the rest.

Instead, the important part is that Kickstart helps turn all those disconnected responsibilities into clear, manageable next steps.

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…

How Replay WorksAdd .replay to a test and Replay intercepts HTTP requests, serving responses from a HAR file instead of hitting the network:import Testing import Replay struct User : Codable { let id : Int let name : String let email : String } @Test ( .

replay ( "fetch User" )) func fetch User () async throws { let ( data , _ ) = try await URLSession .

The Recording WorkflowThe first time you run a test with .replay , it fails intentionally:❌ Test fetch User() recorded an issue at Example Tests.swift ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚠️ No Matching Entry in Archive ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Request: GET https://api.example.com/users/42 Archive:…

If you’re on a such a file system and change the case of a filename, Git will not record the new name — unless you use git mv to perform the renaming.

git commit -m "Create A"[main (root-commit) 3d73aea] Create A 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) create mode 100644 A.txtNow we rename the file from A.txt to a.txt :# Rename the file (change case) # Note: not using `git mv` mv A.txt a.txt git statusnothing to commit, working tree cleanThat’s interesting.

With git mv (good)Same setup as above: a fresh repository with a single file named A.txt :mkdir testrepo2 cd testrepo2 git init echo "Hello" > A.txt git add .

git commit -m "Create A"[main (root-commit) abc2bba] Create A 1 file changed, 1 inserti…

git mv stages the rename but not the editsGit has the promisingly named git mv command, but since Git doesn’t track renames, git mv is mostly no different than doing the renaming in some other way and then staging the change (the deleted and newly created file).

echo "Usage: $0 " exit 1 fi old = " $2 " new = " $1 " # Situation: we renamed $old to $new.

`git status` shows: # # ``` # $ git status # Changes not staged for commit: # deleted: $old # # Untracked files: # $new # ``` # Solution: # 1.

Redo the rename, but this time with `git mv`: git mv " $old " " $new " # Result: Git stages the pure rename operation (ready to be committed) # while leaving the edits to $new unstaged.

As Apple celebrates its fiftieth birthday, we celebrate the spirit of its formation, when people who loved computers started making great computers to inspire more people to love computers.

Our computers work for us, with the utmost respect for our time, attention, money, data, and privacy.

We love making and using products that aren’t just great, but greater than they need to be, always raising the bar of greatness for its own sake.

Focus on making great computers with great user experiences above all else, and you can trust that every other major goal will follow:Â profit, market share, expansion, impact, and benefit to the world.

В Claude Code добавили iOS симуляторВ Codex поддержка симулятора появилась уже довольно давно, теперь и Claude Code догнал – точно так же он может запускать симулятор, управлять приложениями в нем и получать доступ к тому, что с ними происходит.

Simbeam – удаленное управление симуляторомДержите простой опенсорсный инструмент для стриминга симулятора, запущенного на вашем локальном маке, прямо в браузер или в отдельное мобильное приложение. Основная цель – чтобы вы могли разрабатывать приложения прямо с телефона или любого другого устройства, но все так же имели возможность быстро потестировать их руками.

SwiftCrossUI – кроссплатформенный десктопный UIНаткнулся на сравнительно свежий проект – кроссплатформенный UI фреймворк для десктопных приложений, вдохновленный синтаксисом SwiftUI. С Windows работает через WinUI, с Linux – через gtk, с macOS – через AppKit.

Опасности нестабильных SwiftUI environment defaultsС помощью макроса Entry мы можем в одну строчку создать кастомный environment value и задать его дефолтное значение. Создавать инстансы классов прямо в макросе – очень плохая идея. В статье разбираемся, почему так.

Foundation Models UtilitiesЯ совсем пропустил, что Apple выпустили дополнительный фреймворк для Foundation Models, добавляющий в ваши приложения поддержку скиллов, истории, и completions API.

Могут ли LLM помочь с feature parity между платформамиЗнакомые ребята запустили интересный стартап – они анализируют iOS и Android кодовые базы одного и того же проекта, и находят, где они расходятся по функциональности. В качестве примера проиндексировали приложения Википедии и выложили отчет по ним.Расскажите, что думаете про проект? Ребята рады будут фидбэку, я им передам! А еще лучше расскажите, пытаетесь ли как-то сами похожую проблему решать домашними способами.

Multipeer Connectivity всеВ Xcode 27 депрекейтят весь фреймворк Multipeer Connectivity. Если вы работали с ним, то, во-первых, соболезную, он как был куском нерабочего кода, так и остался. А во-вторых, переезжайте на фреймворк Network по гайду в статье.

Поддержка compilation cache в SwiftPMНа Swift Forums опубликовали пропозал по тому, как может выглядеть поддержка clang и swiftc компиляторных кэшей на уровне SwiftPM. Почему это важно – потенциально можем получить хороший прирост в скорости сборки. А вообще пропозал интересный, почитайте!
