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…

These adjustments are made using publicly available exchange rate information from reputable financial media (e.g., The Wall Street Journal) or financial companies (e.g., Bloomberg) to help make sure prices for apps and In-App Purchases stay consistent across all storefronts.

Prices won’t change on the storefronts where you manually manage prices instead of using the automated equalized prices.

The Pricing and Availability section of Apps has been updated in App Store Connect to display these upcoming price changes.

As always, you can change the prices of your apps, In‑App Purchases, and auto‑renewable subscriptions at any time.

Apple is making changes to its business terms for apps in the European Union, following close collaboration with the European Commission.

The changes reduce complexity by moving every developer that distributes apps in the EU to a single set of business terms.

Members of the Apple Developer Program can review and agree to the updated terms today in the Apple Developer Program License Agreement.

Some key updates, which go into effect October 1, 2026, include:Adjusting commission rates across the App Store, alternative payments, and alternatively distributed apps.

Expanding the qualifications for developers to operate alternative app marketplaces and distribute their apps over the web.

Attachment 14 of the Apple Developer Program License Agreement has been added to specify updated terms for apps in the European Union, including alternative distribution, alternative payments, and business terms.

These terms will go into effect on October 1, 2026.

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.

Apple generates appropriate age ratings based on your answers to the age rating questionnaire in App Store Connect.

In compliance with local regulatory requirements, apps in the Games and Entertainment categories distributed on the App Store in Korea receive a region-specific age rating based on these answers.

We’re making two changes to age ratings in the Republic of Korea: one taking effect today and the other later this year.

First, starting today, if your app has received an official rating from the Game Rating and Administration Committee (GRAC), you can now override your app’s existing age rating for the App Store in Korea to any of the region-specific ratings (All, 12+, 15+, or 19+) …

As we announced in June, Apple is introducing new ways to market your apps and games on the App Store.

With these new assets, you can go beyond in-use visuals to highlight your brand, seasonal offerings, exciting new content, and more.

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.

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.

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.

Apple announced the iPhone Duo this morning. 7.6 inch inner display, 5.4 inch outer, starts at 1999 dollars, preorders October 16 and shipping October 23. So we have roughly six weeks. From what I have read so far, apps land in one of three states on it. Anything built against a pre iOS 27 SDK gets letterboxed inside a safe area on a black background. Apps built on iOS 27 resize but still leave dead space. Only apps built against iOS 27.1 fill the display properly, and that SDK ships alongside the device in October. The part I find more interesting is the hinge. iOS 27 carries folding state and hinge angle, so an app can know the phone is half open and sitting on a table. That sounds like a…

Now that Apple has announced the new iPhone Duo, I'm curious what other iOS developers think about it from a development perspective. Obviously there's a lot of discussion around the hardware/design, but I'm interested in what your plans are for supporting it. The frustrating part right now is that the Simulator and SDK isn't coming until Xcode 27.1, so we can't really start testing and optimising properly for the new form factor yet. Edit: Simulator and Xcode 27.1 is coming out "Coming later this month" - https://developer.apple.com/iphone-duo/ https://preview.redd.it/dqstz0dgzjoh1.png?width=732&format=png&auto=webp&s=9bf17e45f62764236f5d80b33bc1360dbdacfa96 submitted by /u/Express_Fox8952…

Usually you can use the RC to submit apps, but I'm getting the: "Unsupported SDK or Xcode version. Your app was built with an SDK or version of Xcode that isn’t supported. Although you can use beta versions of SDKs and Xcode to build and upload apps to App Store Connect, you need to use the latest Release Candidates (RC) for SDKs and Xcode to submit the app." I'm on the RC...Anyone else running into this? submitted by /u/SnowPudgy [link] [comments]

I have been a developer for over 20 years. I started iOS development around 2009. I work for a consulting firm and have been looking at the advancements in AI tools. I myself use Codex, ChatGPT, Gemini etc. But I use it like a tool to figure things out, for research etc. But nowadays I feel very behind. I don't know what is important to learn anymore. I see Reddit people are talking about running their agents and the agents is writing all the code. I don't use it like that and I don't understand how any company can allow this kind of workflow, without checking the details of the code and without checking what is going in production. Is this not technical debt that is going to come back late…

Individual enrollment from India through the Developer app. May 24: "ID Verification Rejected" without ever being asked for ID. Support reset verification. Since then every attempt ends at the address screen with "Action not allowed". The submit request returns HTTP 200 and the app hides the body, so the actual error code is unknown. Six advisors, repeated "escalated to operations" replies, no finding. Latest claim: one of my trusted devices is associated with another developer account. Apple will not say which device or account, and will not say what I can do about it. Has anyone got past this exact state?

Taking the shot was never the slow part. The slow part was getting the app into a state worth photographing — a month of history, a streak, the paid tier. So I stopped driving the app and started rendering the views. shotBoth("home") { HomeView().environmentObject(thirtyDays()) } shot("paywall", dark: true) {PlusSheet().environmentObject(PlusStore(active: true)) } An Apple silicon Mac runs iOS binaries natively, so each view is drawn through UIHostingController at device size. No simulator, no navigation, nothing installed. Your coding agent writes that script, not you. It doesn't make store artwork — no backgrounds, no captions, just the screen as a device draws it. And if you ship once a …

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.

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.

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.

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.

Apple unveiled the highly anticipated iPhone Duo today, its first-ever foldable iPhone.

The iPhone Duo features a 7.6-inch Super Retina XDR inner display with a 5.4-inch outer display.

The inner display has a nano-texture matte finish that minimizes crease visibility and reduces glare.

iPhone Duo looks just as incredible in person as it did in today’s keynote video.

The iPhone Duo is set to go up for pre-order on October 16 and will officially launch on October 23.

#2: iPhone 18 Pro Max has much bigger battery gains than iPhone 18 ProiPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max are both improving in the battery department this year.

Here’s an overview of quoted battery life for this year’s models vs last year’s:Battery Life (video playback) iPhone 18 Pro up to 36 hours iPhone 18 Pro Max up to 45 hours iPhone 17 Pro up to 33 hours iPhone 17 Pro Max up to 39 hoursAs you can see, iPhone 18 Pro …

If you like the new wallpapers Apple created for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, you don’t need to buy a new iPhone to get them.

You can download them right here.

Get the new iPhone 18 Pro wallpapersWhile the default iOS wallpapers are dynamic, responding to movement and interactions on the device, the versions below are static images pulled directly from the first iOS 27 Release Candidate.

The RC does not appear to include the iPhone Duo wallpapers, so we may have to wait a few more weeks for those, potentially until iOS 27.1.

Then, set it as your background image through the Photos app or Settings app if you’re using an iOS device.

Here are all the little iPhone Duo details you might have missed.

But there were a variety of smaller iPhone Duo details revealed both in today’s announcement and on Apple’s website afterwards.

What little details about iPhone Duo stand out most to you?

During today’s “Surprise and Shine” event, Apple confirmed the rollout timeline for the new Siri AI, which will launch in English before expanding to five more languages in October.

Siri AI language expansion confirmed for OctoberApple today announced the iPhone Duo, its first foldable phone, alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max.

One thing these devices have in common is the fact that they will rely on one or more capabilities of the new Siri AI, which leverages Apple’s partnership with Google to offer a more capable LLM-based assistant.

Following the original announcement of Siri AI during this year’s WWDC, Apple today confirmed a more precise rollout plan for the languages it…

Here’s what’s new compared to the outgoing AirPods 4 …There are two models of AirPods 5, AirPods 5 and AirPods 5 with Wireless Charging Case.

We’ll cover the differences in the AirPods 5 line a bit further down, but first here’s what’s new across both models compared to AirPods 5.

Customers previously had to spend $179 for AirPods 4 with noise cancellation included, but that is now standard with AirPods 5.

Improved sound qualityBased on the learnings from AirPods Pro 3, AirPods 5 feature a richer, more detailed sound profile compared to AirPods 4.

Thirdly, new with AirPods with Wireless Charging Case is a fan-favorite feature from AirPods Pro: the addition of the volume swipe gesture on the…

Today Apple unveiled three flagship new iPhone models: iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max as well as the foldable iPhone Duo.

With iPhone 18 Pro, you also get the Telephoto camera that’s missing from iPhone Duo.

A new C2 modem is included in both iPhone Duo and iPhone 18 Pro, but curiously not iPhone 18 Pro Max.

Finally, design materials differ: iPhone 18 Pro has an aluminum unibody design, while iPhone Duo uses titanium.

Here are starting prices for 256GB models:iPhone Duo: $1,999iPhone 18 Pro: $1,199iPhone 18 Pro Max: $1,299iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max are available for pre-order this Saturday and ship next Friday, September 18.

Apple is launching an all-new set of features called Audio Intelligence, starting with today’s new Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4.

Audio Intelligence includes four specific features to start: Sound Recognition, automatic Music Recognition with Shazam, Live Rewind, and Siri Recap.

Audio Intelligence doesn’t attribute speech to speakers, and Siri Recap is designed to omit potentially harmful content and sensitive information.

How Audio Intelligence is designed to work with privacy in mindIf you want to really take a deep dive on privacy and the new features, Apple has published an 11-page privacy paper that goes even further.

Old audio is continuously replaced by new audio, so …

Apple's new iPhone Duo lacks Face ID.

That may irk users who are used to the seamless unlocking experience that a facial biometric system provides, but fortunately Apple has brought over one of the Mac's best authentication features to its first foldable iPhone.

Touch ID is integrated into the Duo's side button for authentication whether iPhone Duo is open or closed, but if you own an Apple Watch, you can opt to have it unlock your iPhone Duo without you having to press a thing.

Pre-orders for iPhone Duo begin at 5:00 a.m. Pacific Time on Friday, October 16, with availability beginning Friday, October 23.

After today's iPhone event, Apple invited members of the media to test out the new iPhone Duo.

The iPhone Duo is priced starting at $1,999, and it feels like it.

It does indeed minimize the look and feel of the fold in the middle of the iPhone Duo.

There's no visible camera cutout on the inner display of the iPhone Duo, because Apple put it under the screen.

iPhone Duo pre-orders start on Friday, October 16, with a launch to follow on October 23.

Apple's "Surprise and Shine" event took place today, and the company introduced the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, the new foldable iPhone Duo, new Apple Watch models, and AirPods 5.

It took Apple over an hour to announce everything, but we have an 11-minute recap for those who want a quick but detailed overview of everything.

Our full event coverage is below with more information on all of today's announcements.

iPhone DuoiPhone 18 Pro and Pro MaxApple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4AirPods 5SoftwareOther NewsThe Apple Watch Series 12, Apple Watch Ultra 4, and AirPods 5 are available for pre-order today.

Pre-orders for the ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ and ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ Max will begin on Saturday, September 1…

The iPhone Duo has an IP68 dust and water resistance rating, beating Samsung and tying Google.

Samsung's latest Galaxy Z Fold8 models have an IP48 dust and water resistance rating, which means they aren't able to hold up to dust as well.

Google's Pixel 11 Pro Fold also has an IP68 rating.

IP6X for dust means the iPhone Duo is "dust-tight" and no dust is able to get in.

The iPhone Duo has other durability features, including a titanium frame, titanium hinge cover, and 10-layer display.

The new iPhone Handoff option was mentioned at today's event and in the iPhone Duo press release, and it turns out it's going to be limited at launch.

iPhone Handoff can be enabled during new iPhone setup, or in the Settings app.

With iPhone Handoff enabled, one iPhone is the main iPhone and the other iPhone is the secondary iPhone that shares the same number.

Moving between a main iPhone and secondary iPhone happens automatically when you unlock one of the devices.

iPhone Handoff works with Dual SIM as long as both eSIMs are from carriers that support iPhone Handoff.

The iPhone Duo's inner display uses a complicated, multi-layer structure that Apple says will hold up to wear and tear.

The exterior nano-texture layer's finish is meant to reduce glare and minimize the visibility of the crease, and a scratch-resistant coating covers the nano-texture layer.

The outer display is protected by Ceramic Shield 2 like the iPhone 18 Pro models, while the back of the iPhone has Ceramic Shield.

The inner display gets the custom polymer cover instead of Ceramic Shield.

Both of the iPhone Duo's displays support ProMotion, Always-On, and True Tone, and offer 3,000 nits of peak outdoor brightness.

The new foldable iPhone Duo is the "thinnest iPhone ever," according to Apple.

When folded, the iPhone Duo is 11.3mm thick.

For comparison, the iPhone 17 Pro Max and iPhone 18 Pro Max are both 8.75mm thick.

The iPhone Duo is also Apple's heaviest iPhone to date at 254 grams, which is five grams heavier than the 249-gram ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ Max.

Pre-orders for the iPhone Duo begin on October 16 ahead of an October 23 launch date.

Ahead of the launch of the foldable iPhone Duo, rumors suggested Apple was focused on eliminating the crease between the device's two displays.

On the iPhone Duo product page, one of Apple's FAQs concerns the crease.

In the press release for the device, Apple says that the Duo's nano-texture display is meant to minimize the visibility of the crease.

The new Galaxy Z Fold8, which has the same general shape as the iPhone Duo, is rated for 500,000 folds.

The iPhone Duo is set to launch on October 23, with pre-orders starting on October 16.

The Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4 feature a refreshed band lineup for the fall, adding new colors and materials.

: Sand and Navy Blue to match the new ceramic Apple Watch Series 12 models; not available as a standalone purchase.

Trail Loop : New Dark Umber, Sand, and Burgundy colors for the Apple Watch Ultra 4, priced at $99 (49mm only).

: A new titanium version of the Grand H bracelet for the Apple Watch Ultra 4, priced at $2,199 (49mm only).

The new Apple Watch bands are available to order today, with availability in stores beginning Friday, September 18.

According to new code uncovered in the iOS 27 Release Candidate, there will be a new way to redeem Apple gift cards by tapping them on the back of a compatible iPhone.

Apple's gift cards will have a security chip that the iPhone will scan to verify that the card is authentic and unspent, according to MacRumors contributor Aaron Perris.

He said the redeem flow will have "this card has been blocked" or "cancelled" screens, seemingly to reduce attempted scams.

Read our ethics policyApple couldn't quite get Apple Pencil Pro to work with iPhone Duo, but Apple Pencil with USB-C pairs fine over a cable and brings its basic functions to iOS for the first time.

It would have been disappointing to get such a large display without Apple Pencil support, but Apple did find a way with iPhone Duo.

The Apple Pencil with USB-C is compatible with iPhone Duo thanks to its ability to pair and charge over a cable.

Apple Pencil Pro introduced other features like Barrel Roll, but the USB-C model does support Apple Pencil hover on select iPad models.

Once the Apple Pencil with USB-C is paired with iPhone Duo, it should just work without any configuration.

Our very own videographer is inside Apple Park right now, and just had some time with the iPhone Duo and iPhone 18 Pro Max.

It can be hard to visualize the size of the iPhone Duo closed.

I thought about that, and since the iPhone 18 Pro family is exactly the same size as the iPhone 17 Pro, this is an easy compare.

Left to right: Actual iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and iPhone DuoFor me, at least, this is the best side-by-side yet.

Actual iPhone Duo, actual handThe iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max go up for pre-order on September 12.

Face ID wasn't going to work on iPhone Duo, so Apple chose Touch ID instead.

For those that don't like Touch ID, Apple Watch will authenticate them automatically.

Apple couldn't find a way to make Face ID work in both use cases, so it offered Touch ID instead.

When using Apple Watch authentication on Mac, it pops up with a notification on Apple Watch with the option to double-press the side button.

However, if convenience is your goal, Apple Watch unlock may be the perfect alternative to Face ID.

The iPhone lineup is more expensive than ever, especially when choosing the 2TB option in either iPhone 18 Pro Max or iPhone Duo.

The iPhone 18 Pro starts out at $1,199 and the iPhone 18 Pro Max starts out at $1,299.

Maxing out your iPhoneWhen you max out the iPhone 18 Pro Max with 2TB of storage, the cost comes to $2,499 or $104 per month with 24-month financing.

The iPhone Duo is Apple's most expensive iPhone to date.

The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max go up for pre-order on September 12 while the iPhone Duo goes up for pre-order on October 16.

On Wednesday, Apple announced the all-new Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4.

As we'd anticipated, Apple also released a smorgasbord of new Apple Watch bands.

Most of these bands are also compatible with previous Apple Watch generations, so you can pick up a new band even if you're not upgrading your Apple Watch yet.

Apple Watch Hermes En MerThe Apple Watch Hermes En Mer features a pillowed stripe design inspired by ocean waves and a subtle "H" motif.

Apple Watch Hermes En MerPriced at $549, you can pick up the Apple Watch Hermes En Mer band in Argile, Bordeaux, Orange, Bleu Gris/Bleu Glacier, Blue Nuit, or Noir/Bleu Nuit.

watchOS 27 and visionOS 27 will also arrive September 14 with Siri AI on supported devices.

Siri AI will retain its separate beta designation after those operating systems leave testing.

Siri AI launches with usage limitsCertain Apple Intelligence features that rely on server-side models will have daily usage limits.

Apple specifically lists Siri AI, intelligent photo editing, Image Playground, and Apple Foundation 3 cloud models used through Shortcuts.

Apple's delayed Siri overhaul arrivesApple says Siri AI can hold natural conversations, answer open-ended questions, and retrieve personal information stored across supported apps.

New Health features come to iPhone as well as Apple WatchApple's announcement of the new Apple Watch Series 12 includes references to some notable Apple Intelligence upgrades to Health features, but the iPhone and iPad also benefit in some big ways.

The Apple Watch Series 12 unveiling saw Apple focus on its ability to monitor the wearer's heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV,) and more.

But it's what Apple intends to do with the data the Apple Watch collects that will make the biggest difference to people's lives.

While this is an Apple Watch feature, the Readiness score will also be visible in the Health app elsewhere.

Apple has also been quick to point out that all processing and healt…

How an app will look on the iPhone Duo's internal screen if it hasn't recently been updated - image credit: Apple.

Apple has produced a series of videos for developers showing how their apps will look on the iPhone Duo, and without modification, they could look really ugly.

Consequently, it now says that if developers have worked to the current Xcode 27, their apps will need little work to look good on the iPhone Duo.

Back when the iPad first came out, Apple included an option to automatically scale up iPhone apps for the larger screen.

That's what app developers, and so users, will get unless they have updated their apps already.

On Wednesday, Apple announced the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and iPhone Duo.

Apple has confirmed that macOS 27 Golden Gate will arrive on September 14 with iOS 27, bringing a sizable collection of new features and improvements to the Mac.

As with Apple's other operating system updates, macOS 27 introduces Siri AI, with conversational responses, personal context, and the ability to complete complex actions across apps.

A new, dedicated Siri app stores previous conversations, while Spotlight adds Siri AI as a search option.

macOS 27 also adds support for higher-resolution ultrawide displays, including up to 5K at 120Hz.

The new Mac mini lineup, and the M5 Mac Studio refresh will be shipping to users eight days after the operating system releases.

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.

Kickstart helps with the rest.

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

A lot of App Store tooling feels like it was built for growth hackers, agencies, or people trying to optimize funnels all day long.

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…

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.

Напоминаю основную идею – с помощью traits зависимости можно настраивать гораздо более гранулярно, так что, если вы не используете какие-то фичи библиотеки, то и связанные зависимости не будут загружены.

Новая Swift IDE на основе R#Приготовьтесь к самому странному проекту, о котором вы сегодня услышите. В разработке находится новый IDE плагин (в 2026 году, лол) для Swift в IntelliJ и Visual Studio. При этом основан он не на SourceKit, а на собственной реализации языкового фронтенда на C# (что вообще тут происходит). Но дальше – еще интереснее. Помимо Swift фронтенда, обещают сделать и фронтенд для ObjC / ObjC++, тоже с нуля, разумеется.Доделать планируют к концу 2027 года, что делает все еще веселее.

Архитектура серверных Swift приложенийЯ человек простой – вижу VIPER в тексте, уношу в канал. Вообще, по ссылке – разбор базовых паттернов организации кода для бэкенда. Если как-то так случилось, что вы все еще за рамки мобильной разработки, то почитайте.

В App Store ревью приложений занимается всего 500 человек, и на каждое ревью они тратят 6-12 минут – из открытых материалов суда Apple и Epic.

Mojo теперь в open sourceЯ уже рассказывал на канале, что последние годы Крис Латтнер занимался новым языком программирования Mojo – надмножеством Python с обещанным перфомансом на уровне С++. И вот наконец-то Mojo получил свой первый стабильный релиз, а заодно и появился на GitHub.

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

WWDC26 Swift Group Lab Q&A is probably the most valuable Swift Concurrency content from this year’s WWDC. Lots of subtle details:• Does Task {} actually leave MainActor?• What does nonisolated mean in Swift 6.2 now?• When should you use @concurrent?• Is async code really running where you think it is?… turns out the answer is increasingly: “not where you think.”https://antongubarenko.substack.com/p/wwdc26-swift-group-lab-q-and-a#Swift #concurrency

FYI: starting with Xcode 27, Apple will ignore the UIDesignRequiresCompatibility flag.So if you're hoping to avoid Liquid Glass, your only option will be staying on an older Xcode. The bigger question is how long App Store submissions from older toolchains will remain supported.https://developer.apple.com/documentation/BundleResources/Information-Property-List/UIDesignRequiresCompatibility#Xcode
