Starting November 16, 2026, App Store Connect will include new content descriptors to help ensure your app’s age ratings accurately reflect its features and are in accordance with local regulations.

When completing the age rating questionnaire in App Store Connect, you’ll need to declare whether your app includes:Shared Location: Sharing of real-world location with another person or group.

You must provide these declarations when submitting an app update or making changes to your age rating questionnaire.

Apps that include Dating and Relationships receive a minimum age rating of 18+.

Once verified, the official rating will display on the App Store in Brazil.

Apple is making changes to the Taiwan storefront of the App Store, following discussions with the Taiwan Fair Trade Commission.

As of October 31, 2026, the commission rate for standard Apple In-App Purchase and paid app transactions will be 26% on the Taiwan storefront of the App Store on iOS and iPadOS.

Signing the updated terms by October 31 is not required to receive the benefit of these commission rate changes starting that date.

The Swift project once again participated in Google Summer of Code in 2026, pairing newcomers to open source with mentors to build new features for Swift and its ecosystem.

DocC Language Features in SourceKit-LSPDocC is Swift’s documentation compiler.

They work in any editor that supports the Language Server Protocol (LSP), such as VS Code or Vim.

Qualified Name Lookup for swift-syntaxSwift macros, linters, and code generators built on swift-syntax could read the structure of Swift code, but they couldn’t easily perform contextual lookups.

It builds on the GSoC 2024 project that introduced lexical scopes and unqualified name lookup, which already powers features in swift-java.

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.

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.

Let’s say you put up a release for review. While it’s in review you make code changes and want this new build to be reviewed instead. DO NOT cancel the review in progress. Instead, let it through then quickly follow with the next build you want to be released. Canceling your own build (developer rejected) always seems to make the next review take much longer. I’m not sure why, don’t ask me. But I’ve both felt the pain personally and remember someone else posting about this. (Unless the current build in review has some deadly bug, then sure, but even I’ve seen two releases go out in the same day) submitted by /u/RSPJD [link] [comments]

Hi experts! I’ve been working on a Metal game on iPadOS that targets 60fps. On my iPad Pro M4 (11", iPadOS 27.2) the GPU clock drops hard after about half a minute of play and never recovers. I recorded it in Instruments (Metal System Trace + Power Profiler instrument) with the iPad plugged into a Mac. In the GPU performance state track, the first ~30 seconds sit at max or medium. After that it’s min for the rest of the session. Same result over 5 and 7 minute recordings. Thermal state stays nominal the whole time, it’s also charging because it is plugged in to Mac, and letting it cool down first didn’t help (it dropped even sooner, at ~29s). At max clock the GPU needs ~13ms per frame. At m…

I started building apps in 2009. It was basically impossible to build a high-quality app without using Xcode Instruments. I was basically grown up with the tool and learned how to use it over time. When speaking at conferences and meeting iOS devs, I realized that not many devs know the tool. Some are well-experienced engineers with 10+ years of experience. I guess the faster devices simply made it less of a requirement. Lately, as agents write more of our code, I've run into more performance issues than ever. Agents are great at writing code that compiles, but also great at writing poor-performing code. I have a few questions for you for this discission: Are you using Xcode Instruments at …

Solo dev, first app ever. I submitted 1.0 a couple of days ago and it's still "Waiting for Review". Since then I've fixed a handful of bugs that testers found, nothing that crashes, but things I'd rather people didn't see on day one. I'm stuck between two options: Remove it from review, attach the new build, and resubmit. I'm worried this sends me to the back of the line. Let the current build go through, keep it on manual release, then submit the fixed build as 1.0.1 right away. Honestly I half expect a rejection on the first try anyway (subscriptions + first app), in which case I'd just swap in the new build when I reply. For people who've been through this: does pulling a build reset you…

Every ⌘B writes an index store into DerivedData: every call, read, write and conformance, already resolved by the compiler. Xcode uses it for “Find Call Hierarchy”, but nothing outside Xcode really uses it, and AI agents ignore it completely and grep instead. SwiftGraph turns that store into a call graph you can query from the terminal: It works with Xcode projects and SwiftPM packages, --no-tests hides test code, and system frameworks show up as leaves so the tree stays readable. You can set an Xcode scheme in .swiftgraph/config.json, and swiftgraph index --build will build and refresh the graph for you. I mainly built it for Claude Code. In a side-by-side test on a 140k-line SwiftUI app, …

I have a developer account at work that is a part of a team. I have NOT logged into this account anywhere except Xcode for a long time ago.

This means that iPadOS and macOS apps can handle interactions through a common high-level abstraction.

Second, we can directly touch macOS apps on an iPad connected via Sidecar.

For all intents and purposes, the experience of using Mac apps on an iPad is now blessed by Apple, even if only for testing purposes.

Apple has opened Siri AI to all developers and published the (uncharacteristically well-documented) Siri AI Developer Preview.

I always struggled to get excited about using App Intents to integrate with Siri, and not only because of Siri’s subpar performance.

Issue 774 30th October 2026 Written by Alex OzunI don’t normally enjoy throwing shade on other dev communities, but it’s hard not to be a little bit smug around our Android friends these days.

In fact, a lot of these apps rely heavily on the hinge gimmick and arguably don’t offer much long-term value to users.

Speaking of gimmicks, the new MacBook Pro with a touch screen was announced on Wednesday.

The hero image on apple.com, with a person playing the piano on the MacBook’s screen, is outright ridiculous.

But I can certainly get behind the use case of interacting with the simulator using touch input.

Issue 773 23rd October 2026 Written by Alex OzunOver the past few weeks, I’ve seen a massive push from developers to adapt their apps for iPhone Duo ahead of its launch date.

I’ve been especially impressed by the indie dev and Build in Public communities, with many developers going well beyond what’s required for basic Duo support.

iPhone Duo starts shipping today, but significant supply delays mean that many developers won’t get their devices any time soon.

This might be the first time I’ve seen someone use mesh gradients creatively to tie together a multi-screen app design.

But this article by Sarun I read very carefully, especially with the current push to adapt apps for iPhone Duo.

Issue 772 16th October 2026 Written by Konstantinos NikoloutsosHello, iOS Dev Weekly readers 👋 It’s me Konsta.

As the article makes clear, this is an experiment: private APIs don’t belong in production App Store code.

It reminds me of Juan Marin’s comment in issue 767, calling UIScreen.main.bounds “a bug waiting for a device” before discussing the iPhone Duo.

Blueprint, by Mustafa Natur, turns your app icon into a blueprint-style version, with colours and badges and custom labels(thanks for that) that give testing builds and release candidates their own character.

What appeals to me here is the straightforward command-line workflow: install it, point it at an Icon Composer file or an app ic…

Issue 771 9th October 2026 Written by Juan MarinI’ve spent this week at next.app devCon in Berlin, which has been a reminder of why conferences are worth the trip.

Product managers are asked to show growth, and minutes are what the analytics tools hand you by default.

Apple is already handing families better tools to see and limit screen time.

Once people can see the minutes, the minutes stop being a compliment.

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

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.

Triage by Runway pulls every issue into one inbox, de-dupes, assigns, and tracks fixes so nothing is missed.

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.

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.

After this week’s Carbon availability, Google today unveiled Gemini 4 Hydrogen instead of keeping the “Flash” branding.

Hydrogen is the default model for AI Mode and is used for “your hardest questions” in AI Overviews.

AntigravityIn Google Antigravity, 4 Hydrogen has an “Extra” thinking tier alongside Low, Medium, and High.

Rather than using a single model from start to finish, Orchestrator dynamically switches between models like Carbon and Hydrogen within the same session.

Hydrogen is available in Antigravity for paid Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers.

Apple continues to expand the appeal of its free Sports app, which focuses on delivering real-time sports scores and stats, across many different sports.

Today, Apple is adding UFC into the mix, so MMA fans can track the fights live through the unified Apple Sports experience.

Apple Sports will provide coverage of every bout across the full fight card, with live stats like total strike counts, takedowns, knockdowns and more.

The Sports app is still only available on iPhone right now though; Apple has still not announced plans to do an iPad and Mac native version.

You can have the Sports Live Activities from your iPhone show up on Apple Watch and Mac, however.

Amazon is now offering Apple’s 11-inch M5 iPad Pro with the 1TB storage capacity down at $1,499.99 shipped.

Jensen Huang is out as CEO of NVIDIA after reported love affairs with an alleged Chinese spy and a high-ranking executive at the company.

Naturally, the American President has called on former Apple CEO Tim Cook to take over as chief executive officer of NVIDIA.

In a post on Truth Social today, President Trump declared that “there is only one man to take his place,” nominating, in spirit, Tim Cook to replace Jensen Huang.

Part of his responsibilities in the high-paying role include interfacing with world leaders like Trump — even when they suggest he re-enter the CEO workforce.

Apple confirmed to Stern that it plans to release a software update in December with a fix for this issue.

Siri AI also refused to open Stern's garage door or unlock her front door, even though the HomeView recognized her.

Apple told her that the software update coming next month will enable this functionality.

"Today users recognized by HomeView can unlock security accessories, including door locks and garage doors, directly on their HomeView screen," an Apple spokesperson told Stern.

"With a software update next month, this will extend to Siri AI, giving users more ways to manage security accessories once they've been recognized."

On our YouTube channel today, Dan Barbera has shared a review of Apple's all-new HomeView smart home hub ahead of the device launching on Friday.

As a refresher, the HomeView features an aluminum design, with the display connected to a domed speaker base by a stainless steel tilting hinge.

The device has a 7-inch square display, and it is ideal for using Siri AI, controlling smart home accessories, FaceTime video calls, and more.

Barbera spent the past week testing the HomeView and has shared his impressions, so be sure to watch our video below to hear what he thinks.

Within the following example, we’ve defined a LoadingState enum which is being used by a SyncService in order to keep track of whether the service is currently performing a sync operation:enum LoadingState { case inProgress(completionRate: Double ) case finished( Result < Date , Error >) } actor SyncService { private var loadingState: LoadingState ?

By chaining those two APIs together, we can create sort of a functional chain that extracts and handles our deep link paths as a connected set of operations:func handleNotificationJSON( _ json: [ …

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 …

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…

Apple shipped Swift 6.4 alongside Xcode 27, and it’s another one of those releases that’s easy to underestimate at a glance.

The Starter folder includes the code before Swift 6.4, and the Final folder includes the code for Swift 6.4.

This helps to see the differences in the code and how Swift 6.4 improves the language and its features.

Before Swift 6.4, you needed to remove -warnings-as-errors from the build settings, which would stop every warning in the module from being treated as an error.

Let’s now look at some of the concurrency improvements in Swift 6.4.

Sign inThis module focuses on the testing side of Agentic Development.

You’ll consolidate the audits produced by the previous module into a concrete, prioritized unit-test plan and use Conductor to write those tests in parallel.

Then you’ll use Xcode 27’s simulator MCP to have an AI agent simulate human behavior in a running app by executing plain-English test steps itself, and have that same agent debug the app directly through breakpoints and the console.

This module does not cover how to write tests manually, and treats “write unit tests” or “increase coverage” as anti-patterns to avoid — every test in this module traces back to a specific, reasoned finding.

I have an amazing local community in my town that I love and am deeply involved in.

But nobody here is a programmer, or even a computer nerd, so it doesn’t serve my need for a tech community.

Reflex – новая архитектура от ShopifyЕще одна компания, громко переехавшая с React Native – Shopify. Свои мобильные приложения на натив они переписали с нуля, поэтому решили и переизобрести архитектуру под агентскую разработку.В чем суть:👉Логика приложения пишется так, чтобы могла запускаться headless, и агенты работали бы с ней через CLI. Никакого UI, никаких импортов платформенных библиотек.👉Наружу торчат ViewModels, описываемые в JSON. Их потребляет и CLI, и реальный UI.👉Между платформами шарится не код, а тесты этого ядра, за счет них обеспечивается feature parity.

Discord дропнул React Native и Electron в пользу RustReact Native бросил еще один проект из топ-10, про которые всегда вспоминали, когда приводили примеры больших и важных приложений на этом фреймворке. Все переписали на Rust, как результат – существенно меньше потребление памяти и в разы более быстрый старт.

Автор Skip бросает Swift в пользу RustНапоминаю, что Skip – это тулчейн, позволяющий запускать Swift приложения под Android. Именно с этого проекта стартанула рабочая группа Swift for Android, и именно благодаря его автору у кучи пакетов появился Android таргет.Так вот, Марк, его автор, вышел из этой рабочей группы, и написал длинный пост, суть которого в следующем – Swift никогда не выйдет за пределы узкоспециализированного языка, и в эпоху агентов у Rust гораздо больше преимуществ для того, чтобы стать универсальным языком для всех платформ.

UIKit vs SwiftUIПоследние пару недель в Твиттере в очередной раз разгорелись споры о том, а есть ли вообще смысл в SwiftUI, если его основная ценность была в человеческом DX, а сегодня весь код все равно пишут агенты.

Обзор на iPhone DuoНа прошлой неделе первые iPhone Duo начали попадать в руки людей, а вместе с ними полетели и отзывы. Вот эта рецензия мне показалась самой полной и интересной. TL;DR: в разложенном режиме великолепно, в сложенном – так себе, с адаптацией приложений пока беда. В итоге я пока что передумал брать себе, скорее всего буду ждать второго поколения.

Как собрать эвалы из своих агентских сессийДержите классный гайд от автора бенчмарка SWE-ReBench про то, как собрать свой собственный простой эвал на основе своих же существующих агентских трейсов. Эти эвалы вы сможете использовать для сравнения новых моделей, харнессов и скиллов.

Как удалить мусорные тестыКаждое поколение моделей сходит с ума по-своему. Текущее, помимо прочего, пишет юнит-тесты как не в себя, поэтому любой хоть сколько-то крупный проект обзавелся уже тысячами их. При этом подавляющая часть тестов абсолютно бесполезны.Автор статьи перечитал книгу Orta Therox 2016 года, вытащил из нее правила того, что делает тест хорошим, и собрал из этого специальный скилл для зачистки вашего тест-сьюта.

Looks like Siri might finally become useful. Again.With iOS 27.3, Apple is opening up Siri AI to developers through App Intents. Apps can expose custom actions and content, while Siri can combine multiple steps, work across apps, and understand what you want based on context.Basically, our apps are becoming tools for an AI agent.Sounds great on paper. But after years of Apple promising us a smarter Siri, I’ll believe it when I see it actually working.For now, it’s just a developer preview. App Store submissions are expected to open in spring 2027.https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appintents/siri-ai-developer-preview#iOS #Siri #AI

Xcode has always been great at eating disk space. DerivedData, simulators, test results… you name it. And now that we’re running multiple AI agents across Git worktrees, we’re basically feeding it even faster.Antoine van der Lee made a handy Agent Skill that helps you find and clean up Xcode leftovers.Ideally, you should automate cleanup with worktree hooks and scripts. But if you haven’t done that yet, this is a pretty good place to start.https://github.com/AvdLee/Xcode-Disk-Cleanup-Agent-Skill#Xcode #AI

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

If you rushed to install the new Xcode after WWDC, started migrating code to ContentBuilder, and explored the new @State macro…don’t forget to read TN3211.It’s Apple’s guide to understanding why some perfectly valid SwiftUI code from last week suddenly isn’t so valid anymore.https://developer.apple.com/documentation/technotes/tn3211-resolving-swiftui-source-incompatibilities-for-state-and-contentbuilder#SwiftUI
