In 2020, we introduced Apple silicon for Mac computers, providing Rosetta as a translation layer during the transition period.

macOS 27: Final release to support Rosetta — Intel-only apps will no longer run on Mac computers with Apple silicon after this update.

What you need to do:To ensure your apps remain available and your users aren't interrupted by system notifications, add Apple silicon support to your apps now.

Build and distribute your app as a universal binary, which runs natively on both Apple silicon and Intel-based Mac computers.

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.

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

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.

I've been working from my phone a lot lately, using AI coding agents to remotely make changes to my iOS apps. One annoying part was testing those changes on a real device. The common solution seems to be uploading every build to TestFlight, which feels pretty heavy when I just want to quickly try the latest build. So I built remote-installer. Once the build is ready, the agent can run a single command and give me a link / QR code. I open it on my iPhone and install the build directly. No TestFlight. No uploading the IPA to a hosting service. No processing wait. And of course, it's free and open source: https://github.com/icodesign/remote-installer submitted by /u/iCodesign [link] [comments]

I released my expo react native app for closed beta with test flight and android closed beta 2 weeks ago, I realize there are things I wish I knew before so here they are, feel free to add to those. And I would love to get some tips before full release I am planning for next week: Have a built in method to force update - Updating is difficult on Test Flight to user who are not used to it, and even harder on Android since the app won't even be shown on the Play Store while on closed testing. Only way to update it is through settings most users don't know how to reach. Have a feature to navigate directly from the app to the Play Store / Test Flight to update.

Has anyone been using the new agentic coding features in Xcode 27? Im still wrapping my head around AI tools as of this year as it had been made a requirement at my job. The industry is moving in this direction whether I like it or not. Since being laid off Ive been trying to learn more about using these tools effectively in my free time.

Why does my app keep getting rejected for things that aren't true. Last week it was because the app has a page that should not require an account that was only accessible after login in or sign up. Ok that's fair I guess but in my case that was the home page wich had numerous things on the backend that requires user data. And now a week later I got a reply that my app only has features that link to other websites and nothing else. We noticed that the app only includes links, images, or content aggregated from the Internet with limited or no native functionality. Although this content may be curated from the web specifically for your users, since it does not sufficiently differ from a web br…

There's been a lot of posts here lately about people being frustrated with long wait times. So I thought I'd share my experience. I've been an Apple developer and submitting apps for 15 years with multiple regularly maintained apps on the App Store. Those who have been developing for a long time probably remember super long wait times of 2-4 weeks before around 2017. We even had a website which tracked average App Store review times based upon a hashtag used on twitter. Around 2017, Apple sped up the review process and it went down to under 24 hours for both new apps and updates to existing apps. However, recently, possibly due to rise of AI slop apps, the review times have exploded again. …

I feel like so many apps that I try these days start with several multiple choice questions. What’s the story here? Is it that they are facing major churn and are trying to segment users to fix it? Is there some research that says this works or retains people somehow? I just wanna try the dang core mechanic! submitted by /u/calflegal [link] [comments]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 feel the same way about iOS Dev Weekly.

So what do we intend to do with iOS Dev Weekly?

Issue 750 8th May 2026 Written by Dave VerwerThis is the seven hundred and fiftieth issue of this little newsletter, so I hope you’ll forgive a little introspection.

I’d recently left a job working with C# and ASP.NET to start a small business writing Ruby on Rails apps on the brand new Intel Mac I’d just bought.

I really loved what I found, and not just in the language or frameworks, but in the community.

When I started this newsletter in 2011 it was partly because I wanted to become even more involved in that community.

❤️The community is so much richer and more diverse than it was back in 2011 when iOS Dev Weekly started.

Apple’s current AirPods lineupHere is Apple’s AirPods lineup as it stands today:When is Apple releasing new AirPods?

AirPods with camerasThe biggest change coming to Apple’s AirPods lineup is a new version of AirPods with built-in cameras.

In terms of design, the AirPods with cameras will reportedly have longer stems than normal AirPods Pro to accommodate the cameras.

More on AirPods with cameras:AirPods MaxApple just updated AirPods Max earlier this year with the H2 chip, a new high-dynamic range amplifier, improved audio quality, and more.

If you’re shopping for AirPods Pro 3 or AirPods Max, I think now is a great time to buy.

Apple TV kicks off its big fall lineup this week with Mayday, a new Ryan Reynolds film that’s part buddy comedy, part action spy thriller.

But movies on Apple TV are on the rise too.

The film stars Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh and hails from John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein.

In any case, Apple TV subscribers will get to stream it for free starting this week.

Apple TV is available for $14.99 per month, or you can get it discounted through the Apple One bundle.

Now, rumors indicate Apple plans to switch away from Qualcomm modems in iPhone 18 Pro in favor of its own next-gen C2 chip.

Which iPhone 18 Pro features are you most excited about?

With iOS 27, Apple is expanding that idea beyond Apple Watch.

It basically gives you the Apple Watch GymKit workout tracking experience, just without the watch.

iOS first made the Fitness app useful without Apple Watch as Apple Fitness+ leaned into iPhone as an entry point.

It also gives iPhone and AirPods users a taste of the Apple Watch experience, which could attract future Apple Watch customers.

In testing with iOS 27 beta 1, my Exercise ring didn’t update as I worked out without wearing Apple Watch.

Apple won the ‘Best Picture’ Oscar for CODA back in 2022, and now director Siân Heder is back with another potential winner: Being Heumann.

Heder’s last project was CODA, which won Best Picture at the Academy Awards.

With that win, Apple TV became the first streaming service to win the top Oscar—beating out Netflix.

Being Heumann will stream November 13 on Apple TV following a limited theatrical bow one week prior.

Apple TV is available for $14.99 per month, or you can get it discounted through the Apple One bundle.

Apple has a new M6 MacBook Pro launching this fall with a 14-inch screen and the current industrial design.

Now that the M6 chip has officially been unveiled, here are three upgrades to expect from the new MacBook Pro.

#1: Dual 16-core Neural EngineIf AI is in any way significant to your workflows—and with macOS 27, it will be for even more users—then the M6 MacBook Pro could be a big upgrade.

But in the MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, and other upcoming M6 products, the new chip’s “major leap” in power efficiency is likely to enable longer battery life.

What other new features do you want to see in the M6 MacBook Pro?

Alongside the massive Best Buy Labor Day sale, we are also tracking thousands of deals in Amazon’s sale event including today’s headliner deal – AirPods Pro 3 are now back down at $50 off.

AirPods Pro 3 now $50 off in Amazon’s giant Labor Day saleAs part of its now live Labor Day sale, Amazon has now dropped the price on Apple’s latest AirPods Pro 3 back down to $199 shipped.

Amazon bumped the price back up very close to the MSRP at the tail end of last month, and that was after it launched its massive Labor Day sale event.

It very much appeared as though it was not going to be offering any notable discounts on AirPods Pro 3 for its 2026 Labor Day sale, but that all changes here today.

iOS 27 introduces several improvements for Apple Pay, including a fully overhauled checkout flow that’s the service’s best upgrade in years.

New design for Apple Pay checkout screen in iOS 27 is better in every wayApple Pay checkout screen: new (left) vs old (right)Apple Pay has become one of the most popular payment methods in the world.

Apple Pay has a new design in iOS 27 when checking out in apps or on the web.

But in my opinion, Apple has done a fantastic job with iOS 27’s Apple Pay revamp.

What do you think of the new Apple Pay checkout design in iOS 27?

Apple is rolling out support for Apple Wallet driver’s license integration to a new state.

Apple Wallet driver’s license support expands to new stateTo add your license to your iPhone, tap the plus icon in the upper-right corner of the Apple Wallet app.

Oklahoma is the 16th state in the United States to launch support for Apple Wallet driver’s licenses.

You can use Apple Wallet licenses at TSA checkpoints at more than 250 airports, plus select other businesses and venues.

Have you ever used the driver’s license or Digital ID features in Apple Wallet?

An original Apple–1 Computer could sell for between $500,000 and $800,000 when it is auctioned off this October.

There are fewer than 75 Apple–1 Computers known to exist, and a smaller number that are operational.

The "Hatfield" Apple–1 is number 48 on the Apple–1 registry, and it is in working condition.

Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak produced 200 Apple–1 computers in 1976.

Functional Apple–1 computers have sold for over $900,000 at auction in the past, though pricing varies based on condition and provenance.

Apple has added a new "iPhone Handoff" feature to iOS 27 that will allow you to switch between two iPhones while using the same phone number on each device.

"iPhone Handoff" can be set up from the Settings app, under the Cellular menu.

All cellular settings are managed on the main iPhone, and location sharing is based on whichever iPhone is actively using the phone number.

In addition to needing two iPhones running iOS 27, "iPhone Handoff" will seemingly require carrier support.

Following three months of beta testing, iOS 27 is expected to be released later this month, so we will likely hear more about this feature soon.

Apple today shared a short video featuring an Apple Watch user named Amanda who says her device saved her life.

In 2024, Amanda began receiving alerts about an abnormal heart rate.

Her watch alerted her about changes to her resting heart rate and her overnight vitals, prompting her to visit her doctor.

"I absolutely believe that if it wasn't for my Apple Watch, I wouldn't be talking to you," she said.

The Apple Watch regularly monitors heart rate and can send alerts when a high heart rate is detected during rest.

Recently, Daring Fireball's John Gruber resurfaced an old tip that lets you quickly access the settings menu for the currently opened app on your iPhone.

If you find it a hassle digging through the Settings app to find the associated app menu, this solution saves you the bother.

It uses a simple Shortcut – made conveniently downloadable courtesy of Quinn Nelson – that you can add to Control Center (or better yet the Action button) by using the "Run Shortcut" control.

We couldn't not highlight it here because it's so useful.

Amazon has introduced the first cash discounts on Apple's brand new Mac mini, with discounts including two of the M6 models as well as the M5 Pro model.

All of these deals are pre-order discounts on the 2026 Mac mini, which officially launches on September 22.

You can get the 16GB RAM/256GB SSD Mac mini for $879.99, down from $899.00, and the 16GB RAM/512GB SSD model for $1,069.99, down from $1,099.00.

Both of these devices come with the new M6 chip, and Amazon also has $29 off the M5 Pro Mac mini right now.

If you're on the hunt for more discounts, be sure to visit our Apple Deals roundup where we recap the best Apple-related bargains of the past week.

Starting today, Oklahoma residents can add a digital version of their driver's license to the Apple Wallet app on the iPhone and Apple Watch.

Oklahoma is the 16th state to implement support for Apple Wallet IDs in the U.S., joining Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio, Virginia, and West Virginia.

You can present an Apple Wallet ID where accepted by simply tapping your iPhone or Apple Watch on an identity reader.

At least for now, Apple Wallet IDs are designed to be a convenient alternative where they are accepted.

Apple Wallet IDs are accepted at TSA checkpoints in more than 250 airports across the U.S. …

Apple last week announced two new Mac Studio models, with one built around the M5 Max chip and one around the all-new M5 Ultra chip, replacing the M4 Max and M3 Ultra models that had been on sale since March 2025.

‌Mac Studio‌ with M5 Max starts at $2,499, holding the price Apple set when it raised Mac prices in June, while ‌Mac Studio‌ with M5 Ultra starts at $5,499, a further $200 increase on the post-June M3 Ultra price and $1,500 above what the M3 Ultra cost at launch.

Our guide helps to answer the question of how to decide which of these two ‌Mac Studio‌ models is best for you.

You should only choose the M5 Ultra if you anticipate running into a performance ceiling the M5 Max cannot cl…

The Elec reports that Google, Oppo, and Vivo plan to adopt ultra-thin glass (UTG) in their foldable phones next year, following Apple's lead.

Apple's book-style iPhone Ultra, expected to be unveiled next week, reportedly uses two UTG layers, with the display sandwiched between them, isolating it from direct contact with the hinge.

The method, pioneered by Apple, is meant to spread mechanical stress across multiple layers to improve durability and reduce visible creasing over time.

The UTG layers will be mass produced for Apple's rivals by Samsung, for wide adoption in 2027.

Apple currently offers the iPhone 17 Pro in Cosmic Orange, Silver, and Deep Blue.

Dickson shared the image in response to a MacRumors report on Tuesday covering a Chinese leaker's claim that the iPhone 18 Pro models could come in Dark Cherry, Sky Blue, and Black.

However, the leaker did share iPhone 18 Pro dummy units back in May that included a fourth Black color.

Chinese leaker Instant Digital in April said there would be no black color for the iPhone 18 Pro.

Apple's ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ and ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ Max are expected to be unveiled at the company's September event next week, alongside the company's first foldable iPhone, aka "iPhone Ultra."

Apple last month announced a new Mac mini and a new Mac Studio.

Both machines start shipping on Tuesday, September 22, which means they will launch in the same month as new iPhones, Apple Watches, and AirPods.

Apple is expected to introduce the unannounced products at its annual iPhone fall event, which is this year carrying the tagline "Surprise and shine."

The event takes place on Wednesday, September 9, making this month one of the busiest Apple has had in a while.

That's a statement from an official filing from the United States Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward Jr, in an amicus curae brief.

Woodward's arguments are nearly a copy and paste of OpenAI's original complaints about AI training and not coming from a place of legal authority.

The reality has been that people are losing jobs, and money is being funneled towards the AI companies instead.

Realistically, this argument continues to be a sign that AI companies are flailing against the eventual reality that this technology has its limits.

Hopefully the court can make the right call, even with pressure from multiple AI companies and the Trump administration.

After years of avoiding it, Hobby Lobby has begun rolling out Apple Pay at its checkouts, much to the delight of its increasingly frustrated customers, though it isn't available everywhere just yet.

You may be able to pick up your assorted crafting bits and bobs at Hobby Lobby sans wallet if you so choose.

Shanyn Nicole also posted a reel to Instagram confirming that her Hobby Lobby supports it as well.

AppleInsider has contacted several Hobby Lobby stores and found that the rollout is gradual and not yet available at all locations.

Hobby Lobby was another long-time holdout, like Walmart, that had avoided Apple Pay long after its competitors began accepting it.

Apple's new smart home display, designed to power Apple Home, could be launching soon.

Convenient and thoughtful designThe unnamed Apple Home smart display will come in two flavors.

This makes it a combination smart speaker and smart display.

The widget picker on iPhoneWidgets will be a key part of the Apple smart display as rumors have long suggested there will be no App Store available, at least at launch, for third-party apps.

There has not been much said in terms of pricing for Apple's smart display.

A federal judge has rejected the Justice Department's attempt to force Google to sell off major pieces of its advertising technology business.

The argument was that Google used acquisitions and its ad-tech stack to put its competitors at a disadvantage.

The claim insisted that Google used its size and influence on both buyer and seller sides of the equation.

The DOJ pushed for a structural breakup, insisting that the company break off Google Ad Manager and sell it to another company.

A forced sale of Google's ad-tech business could have benefited Apple as it expands its own advertising operation.

Recently, a dark web platform known as Nexus claimed to be selling more than 153 million driver's license scans.

In addition to the driver's licenses, there were more than 10 million ID cards, 3 million travel documents and international IDs, and over 579,000 medical cards.

Most of the scans were of U.S. licenses, but more than one million Canadian licenses were also included in the search results.

It also included CDLs, or commercial driver's licenses, and CACs, or Common Access Cards, cards that are used to grant physical access to government buildings and secure rooms.

I would like to point out that there's no evidence that any digital ID verification would have solved this problem.

Adobe has come up with another way to make generative AI unavoidable, with its new Slack integration allowing workers to create prompts from the communications tool.

As a productivity suite, Adobe has been hard at work making sure that everyone knows you can use it with AI.

Launched on Wednesday, Adobe for Slack is an integration for the business communications app.

As you would expect, it's a way for Slack users to start making images and documents directly from the messaging tool.

Adobe for Slack is available globally today, for subscribers of Slack Business+ and Enterprise+ teams.

How to add your ID to Apple WalletAdding your driver's license to Apple Wallet is simple.

Which states support digital IDsOne of the bigger problems with digital IDs is where they are supported.

Ohio is one of 10 states and provinces that support digital IDs in Apple Wallet as of mid-2025As of September 2, 2026, there are 17 states and territories that support Driver's licenses in Apple Wallet.

How to use digital IDs in Apple WalletIn an ideal world, a digital ID would be accepted in any place your physical ID is accepted.

Using digital IDs in appsOf course, there are other uses for digital IDs rather than just in the physical world.

In July 2026, a working Apple I was sold at auction for $499,363, beating its predicted $300,000.

Now Bonhams' auction house is estimating $500,000 to $800,000 for its working model, known as the Hatfield Apple I.

Bonhams' estimate is based on that recent sale of another working Apple I, plus two extra elements.

The signed letter from Steve Jobs that is being auctioned alongside the Apple I computer - image credit: Bonhams.

It will also include an Apple Paladin, a prototype Apple made to combine computer, scanner, and phone, plus an Apple Lisa.

Intel's loss of Apple's chip custom during the Apple Silicon era was due to Apple trusting TSMC more.

By contrast, Apple's trust in TSMC is high and pretty much unshaken.

However, Apple wasn't that trusting of Samsung, because it was both a supplier and a rival in various ways.

Chang claims he wasn't worried because the technology, manufacturing, and trust Apple looked for in a supplier wasn't better at Intel, in his view.

In one meeting with Apple, Intel tried to secure its business, but it majorly screwed up.

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.

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

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
