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.

Your creative assets can be used across the App Store in multiple places, including your product page header, search results, In-App Events, and more.

To help you plan your images and videos ahead of the fall launch, review our new App Store asset best practices, which include recommendations, as well as Figma, Photoshop, and Pixelmator design templates you can use to create captivating and compelling assets.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Later this summer, Apple will unify the email domains used by Sign in with Apple and iCloud+ Hide My Email under a single, shared domain: private.icloud.com.

For example:Sign in with Apple addresses, previously issued on privaterelay.appleid.com , will be issued on private.icloud.com .

iCloud+ Hide My Email addresses, previously issued on icloud.com , will be issued on private.icloud.com .

Email service providers should update any domain-based filtering, suppression lists, or routing rules that explicitly enumerate relay domains so that the new private.icloud.com domain is included.

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

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

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

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

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

To accompany this post, we’ve also published the source code of the Swift TrueType hinting interpreter.

On average, the Swift interpreter runs 13% faster than the C interpreter it replaced.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sébastien Stormacq shares a great introduction to what’s possible with AWS Lambda and Swift, presenting Swift, Server-side, & Serverless on the DevStandup YouTube channel.

swift-tar is a pure Swift library for reading, writing, and extracting TAR archives.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Adopting Swift for backend servicesTelemetryDeck is built on Vapor, a web framework written in Swift, for building scalable APIs and services.

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

Your Swift Vapor service is almost never the bottleneck.

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

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

A few of my utility apps had Chinese, French and Spanish localization. It was tedious but not unbearable to produce the text & later updates in those languages. But my new product (my first game release) has 14 languages to choose from. As I understand it, there's services or extensions that can automatically add localization for you when publishing to the app store. Have you had a good experience with them, or are there any you would warn me off from? submitted by /u/JordanMilas [link] [comments]

SOLVED: I've been screwing around with this for a week now and I'm so pissed. I had everything in my app correct as well as in App Store Connect, EXCEPT, I didn't see the Paid Apps Agreement to complete. Once I did this it took about 30 minutes to propagate through and it works. I'm down to my last issue with my macOS/iPad app. I have my app setup in App Store Connect with a subscription group and monthly subscription. I also have my app setup in TestFlight and I am running that on a clean MacBook with a sandbox user logged into the App Store. When I test locally against my store kit.config everything works fine. When I run this on my clean MacBook my debug info shows that it's not finding …

Hey all! What’s an easy way you’ve tried before that has worked to quickly promote your app?

My employer is looking to hire mid to senior iOS engineers soon (still need the confirm budget) but it’s been a while since we’ve been hiring so curious what others are experiencing either from the applicant or hiring side. Previously we had a lot of applicants with low level experience / Jr roles but had difficulty finding people with significant experience for Mid/Sr roles. Originally we were local/hybrid only but recently opened up to remote work (US only) so hoping that will help. We’re not in HCOL area and salaries are good, but not SF/NY. submitted by /u/refrigagator [link] [comments]

Hello everyone, I have a question, in my app I have used background portrait images which I picked up from pinterest and in designing the app store screenshots I did the same. Would apple reject my app? Is there any way to get around this? My app is a photo editing app, in the editor I used pictures from pinterest and show the editing process and took that screenshot and designed it for app store screenshots. Is this allowed? submitted by /u/zaidbren [link] [comments]

Hey everyone, my app currently downloads various extra files via apple-hosted asset packs (some prefetch, some on-demand). However, both prefetch and on-demand downloads seem to fail somewhat randomly. Either the asset pack can't be found, or the download never was kicked off especially for prefetch. Is this a known issue? Or perhaps a skill issue on my part? submitted by /u/parker_birdseye [link] [comments]

In the Messages app, the ChatGPT app, and one other app, I noticed that they’re able to place something above the keyboard and have the view partially obstruct the keyboard. I’ve tried everything I know and still haven’t been able to do it. I even asked AI and couldn’t get it working. I thought it might involve creating a new UIWindow, which I’ve used in the past to overlay modals, but I had no luck with that. I also tried walking the view hierarchy, but since the keyboard is rendered out of process, I couldn’t figure out anything that would work. I thought about making a custom keyboard, but recreating the entire keyboard just to get a view above it seemed weird. Maybe something like repla…

I can't say how many users are affected and whether this is universal or fires under some conditions, but several users of my app reported the problem of getting the "rate" dialog every time they start the app (unfortunately mostly by 1 star ratings). Further some other developers reported that they got similar problems. This is something new, likely it started by end of July. The problem on how to act on that is: it is hard to estimate whether this is some extreme problem worth risking or something that affects everyone or at least nearly everyone Every custom mechanism is mostly limited to show this only once (or once in a while) if you disable this Apple will never report if the problem …

Seen developers spend weeks improving their app while users reach the App Store page and just… don't download. Makes me wonder how often the product isn't the problem — it's how it's presented. For anyone who's improved their conversion rate, what actually moved the needle: screenshots, positioning, reviews, or something else? submitted by /u/buildwithsteve [link] [comments]

Hi, I am currently working on my first App ever. The App greatly benefits from having a Widget, but obviously the choice has to be made by the User to add it to their screen… What are good practices and non intrusive UI method to nudge them in the right direction and encourage them to install a Widget? I was thinking a whole screen at the right moment in the flow of the App, explaining the benefits, but that feels a bit much. And I do not want it every time in case someone already decided to ignore the advice. Thanks a lot for your tips. submitted by /u/Mundane-Fix-4297 [link] [comments]

Swift Charts makes it straightforward to put a basic chart on screen. Once you’re working with more complex data, custom presentations, interaction, or accessibility, it helps to understand how the framework interprets and renders the content you give it. Natalia and I have just released Swift Charts Beyond the Basics. We wrote it for developers who can already build a basic chart and want a deeper understanding of the framework and the decisions involved in turning data into a clear, effective visualization. The book covers topics including multi-metric visualizations, calendar layouts, heat maps, custom composition and rendering, accessibility, selection, scrolling, responsive updates, an…

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.

In iOS 27, Reminders moves all metadata options into a new box that surrounds your active reminder.

Today, the firm published a new report claiming that the iPhone 17 was the world’s best-selling smartphone during Q2 2026, accounting for 6% of global smartphone unit sales.

Apple also secured the second and third spots with the iPhone 17 Pro Max and iPhone 17 Pro, respectively, while the iPhone 17e ranked seventh and the iPhone 16 came in tenth.

iPhone sales increased across India, Japan, and the MEA, and nearly doubled in South Korea in Q2 2026, driven by the iPhone 17 series.

The base iPhone 17 model remained the best-selling smartphone during the quarter, supported by significant upgrades that narrowed the gap with the Pro models.

Meanwhile, strong premium demand drove the iPhone 17 Pro…

Here’s why that rare move could signal big things coming at the September event.

August product release signals September event that’s already jam-packed with new productsIf you follow Apple closely, you start to notice patterns in the company’s calendar year.

New products typically launch around March, then June brings WWDC and software unveilings, followed by a big September event, and often some October launches too.

Due to COVID, Apple pushed its iPhone event that year to October instead of September.

And it would explain very well why Apple chose to pull forward the Mac mini, Mac Studio, and M6 and M5 Ultra debuts into August.

Apple officially announced the date for its big September event with the tagline “Surprise and shine,” a play on the phrase rise and shine.

This is for the event where Apple is expected to reveal its first foldable iPhone.

Meanwhile, in China, the localized tagline includes a hidden “foldable” Easter egg of sorts, at least according to Google Translate.

Apple fans excited for the first iPhone with a folding display teased potential event taglines that played with the idea of “a lot to unfold” before the “Surprise and shine” tagline was made official.

In China, Google Translate at least sees the English translation as being almost exactly that.

As is tradition, users who post on X with the #AppleEvent hashtag over the next few days will get a custom Apple logo hashmoji attached to their posts.

#AppleEvent hashmoji now live on XFor years now, every time Apple schedules a new event, the company has rolled out a custom X hashmoji to go along with it.

Following the event invites sent out earlier today, featuring an Apple-shaped halo around the sun and the tagline “Surprise and shine,” the company’s new hashmoji is now live on X.

Apple’s “Surprise and shine” event is scheduled for September 9, at 10 a.m. PT, and the company is expected to announce the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, alongside its first foldable iPhone.

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has disputed the authenticity of iPhone Ultra renders shared by the usually reliable leaker Evan Blass on X (Twitter).

The images show the unreleased foldable iPhone in not just the rumored space gray and white colors, but also in a striking red.

"Hearing these renders came from Xiaomi," wrote Gurman, commenting on Blass's post.

"This isn't a legitimate look at the foldable iPhone, which also doesn't come in red or green.

Apple is said to be planning to "stay away from fun colors" and stick to more traditional space gray/black and silver/white finishes for the book-style foldable iPhone.

In the U.S. and several other countries, Apple used "Surprise and Shine" as its tagline for the event, but in other countries, the tagline isn't a literal translation.

Mexico and Latin America - Sorpresas listas para brillar, which means surprises ready to shine.

Despontar is a word used for daybreak or sunrise, though Apple's Translate app says the phrase means "the unfolding of brilliant surprises."

If you dial Apple Support's phone number 1-800-APL-CARE from the U.S. or Canada, there is a good chance that an AI-powered support assistant will now answer.

While many of Apple's phone systems already had a basic automated operator, the Apple Support phone line is now using a voice powered by generative AI.

The assistant can answer questions and troubleshoot issues with your Apple products, with it able to provide detailed step-by-step instructions.

An anonymous tipster claimed that Apple has partnered with Sierra AI on the virtual assistant, but we have not independently confirmed this information.

It appears that the AI assistant for Apple Support phone calls went live earlier this year.

Following this morning's announcement of the iPhone event that will take place on September 9, Apple added an event placeholder to its YouTube channel.

Images claiming to show the inside of an Apple-made AI server, believed to power Private Cloud Compute, surfaced online this week, offering a first look at how the hardware is laid out.

The images were shared earlier this week by the X user @hsuchingpo, an account with a track record of Apple hardware and prototype leaks.

Captioned simply "Apple M5 Server," the leaker said the hardware is "most likely" Apple's Private Cloud Compute (PCC) system.

Apple plans to hold its annual iPhone-centric event on Wednesday, September 9 at the Apple Park campus in Cupertino, California.

The September 2026 iPhone event will see Apple announce the iPhone 18 Pro , the ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ Max, and the foldable iPhone, which could be called the iPhone Ultra .

The ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ models could get an upgraded variable aperture rear camera, but will otherwise be similar to the iPhone 17 Pro models.

Apple is also going to introduce the Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4, plus there's a possibility we'll see new smart home devices, including the long-rumored home hub, a new Apple TV 4K, and an updated HomePod mini.

For anyone who's experienced the lengthy post-update indexing process when trialing the beta version of iOS 27, macOS 27 Golden Gate, iPadOS 27, or visionOS 27: Apple has published a Spotlight support document that explains what's going on.

It completes more quickly when your device is not in use, and when it is connected to power and the internet.

Apple also confirms that the index is stored locally, remains private, and is not shared with Apple or any of your other devices.

A new leak claims Apple's first foldable iPhone, the iPhone Ultra, could bring back a red finish, but the images raise more questions than they answer.

On Wednesday, longtime Apple leaker Evan Blass suggested that Apple will revive a much-missed color for its yet-unannounced iPhone Ultra.

In his post to X, he showcases a few renders of the iPhone Ultra in white, black, and red.

It's notable, as Apple hasn't released a red iPhone since 2022, when it released the iPhone 14 and iPhone SE 3 as part of a (PRODUCT)RED partnership.

Apple is expected to announce the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Ultra on September 9 at 10:00 am PDT and 1:00 pm EDT as part of its "Surprise and shine" event.

Attendees to the September 9 iPhone 18 Pro event are being invited to warm up the night before, with a fun walk, run, or wheelchair lap at Apple Park.

Apple has just confirmed that its September special event titled "Surprise and shine" will be taking place on September 9.

Attendees to the Wednesday event are being invited to take part in a "Welcome Run, Walk, or Roll" on the evening of September 8.

Hosted by the Apple Fitness+ team, the registration explains that it will take place around the Apple Park Ring.

A small event the evening before a major event is unusual, but could serve to be a good brand activation exercise for Apple.

A new cryptically-named heist drama starring Anthony Mackie and Jamie Dornan is poised to pull off its Apple TV debut in Fall 2026.

According to Apple TV, the story of "12 12 12" unfolds across three separate timelines of the heist.

It follows a disgraced FBI agent, played by Emmy Award nominee Anthony Mackie, and an American career criminal, Critics' Choice Awards nominee Jamie Dornan.

"12 12 12" will make its global debut on Friday, November 13, with the first two episodes.

"12 12 12" joins other Apple dramas, including "Your Friends and Neighbors," Apple TV's hit crime drama starring Jon Hamm.

It won't just be the iPhone 18 Pro or folding iPhone launch, but also the first event with John Ternus as CEO.

iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro MaxThe September event is chiefly when Apple launches its update to the iPhone range, and this year it is the iPhone 18 generation.

For September's event, Apple will introduce the premium members of the iPhone 18 family, the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max.

A mock-up of a dark cherry iPhone 18 Pro, one of the rumored colorways.

In the wake of the June price rises and the continuing memory crisis, the iPhone 18 Pro could cost $300 more than the iPhone 17 Pro counterparts.

Detail from a concept video showing what the iPhone Ultra could be like - image credit: Gunho Lee.

If this is not how Apple presents the iPhone Ultra, perhaps it should be.

In color grading, lighting and general pacing, "Introducing iPhone Ultra" by Gunho Lee is evocative of the first Apple Vision Pro videos.

The iPhone Ultra shown in it not only looks perfectly realistic, but the use of it feels natural.

As an unnamed actor goes through his day, the iPhone Ultra is put through some of its paces.

Mark Zuckerberg's Meta has been dealing with a trial concerning the mental and social effects of social media for a while, but it's seemingly no longer a problem.

The social giant has managed to hammer out a settlement with some functional concessions as well as a hefty fine.

The settlement is with 48 state attorneys general across the entire United States, including four jurisdictions, reports the Wall Street Journal.

Under the settlement's terms, Meta will pay a maximum of $18 billion, but only if TikTok and YouTube also play nice.

The resulting settlement is less than 10% of that figure, if Meta has to pay the full amount.

Now the research firm says that the iPhone 17 has continued to be as successful.

"iPhone sales increased across India, Japan, and the MEA, and nearly doubled in South Korea in Q2 2026, driven by the iPhone 17 series."

Counterpoint puts the continued demand for the iPhone 17 down to how it was a significant upgrade on the previous model.

Speaking of the range, the number two biggest-selling smartphone in the quarter was the iPhone 17 Pro Max.

Third was the iPhone 17 Pro, while the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra came in fourth.

A seemingly separate leak shows a graphic of what is claimed to be the iPhone Ultra's motherboard - image credit leaker Findmeow~.

Apple has kept iPhone Ultra production details under lock and key better than it did with the iPhone Air, but at last there's a component leak.

We won't know if these shots are really of the iPhone Ultra's motherboard until someone buys the costly device just to strip it apart.

Those annotations that are more than numbers do appear to align with the ones on the Lusi Roy leak.

However, this plus how close the launch is, makes it more likely than not that these are indeed the iPhone Ultra's motherboard.

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 Foundation Models are Apple’s on-device AI models, designed to protect privacy while helping with tasks like writing text, summarizing information, and organizing data on supported devices.

This book will explore the use of Apple Foundation Models in your apps.

It’s worth starting with the most basic question: What is Apple Foundation Models Framework?

It will either be available , meaning your app can access Foundation Models, or unavailable , which also provides a reason explaining why Foundation Models is not accessible.

Даже с объективно плохим Liquid Glass, iOS в вопросе дизайна остается на порядок лучше, чем Google с их обновленным Material.

Референсная реализация Swift Package RegistryСтандарт Swift Package Registry доступен еще со Swift 5.7. Теперь вместе с документацией нам доступен и каноничный пример его реализации на Vapor, который Apple будет поддерживать и дальше, добавляя все фичи из стандарта. Если хотите захостить свой реестр пакетов, это отличная точка для старта!

Android приложение Polymarket написано на SwiftРазработчики Polymarket, крупнейшей биржи предсказаний, рассказали, что их выпущенное на прошлой неделе Android приложение пости полностью написано на Swift с использованием Skip:👉На Swift написано 170к строк логики: нетворкинг, работа с данными, вьюмодели.👉Это ядро пошарено с iOS приложением.👉UI написан полностью нативно на Compose.Обязательно почитайте пост, там много интересного про сам подход к организации кода и проблемы, с которыми они столкнулись.

Low level программирование на SwiftДержите классный доклад от одного из разработчиков Swift про то, как в языке развиваются фичи для системного программирования, и как они сочетаются со всем остальным языковым дизайном.

SwiftUI спустя 7 летС момента анонса SwiftUI прошло уже целых семь лет. Это уже довольно-таки приличный срок для UI фреймворка, чтобы стать полностью production ready. Но реальность немного отличается:👉Достигнуть предсказуемого перфоманса очень сложно, а логика дата флоу часто меняется.👉Хоть сколько-то сложный лэйаут работает непредсказуемо и ломается в самых неожиданных местах.👉По feature parity SwiftUI все еще очень сильно отстает от UIKit, а когда новые фичи все-таки доезжают, доступны они только с самых последних версий iOS. В результате код превращается в мешанину #available чеков.👉Кросс-платформенность на деле оказалась не самой полезной фичей, так как по факту лэйаут на телефоне и пл…

Как устроен М4 Apple Neural EngineПрямого доступа к Neural Engine нам не дают, предлагая работать с ним только через CoreML. Но через все слои абстракции в нем довольно тяжело пробиться, поэтому понять, как на самом деле работает железо, сходу не получится.Автор статьи зареверсинжинирил весь стек, начиная от CoreML, заканчивая драйвером чипа, и вытащил кучу интересных подробностей!

Что помогает экономить токеныРебята из JetBrains прогнали через свои бенчмарки несколько самых популярных инструментов для экономии токенов – caveman, rtk и ponytail. Если кратко, то экономии они практически не дают, а тому, что написано на их сайтах, верить вообще не стоит. Из всего этого самым полезным выглядит ponytail, который срезает косты на ~10%.

Как следить за нагревом устройстваЗа крешрейтом следят вообще все, за весом бинарника – существенно меньше людей, а за скоростью запуска совсем мало. Но если все это в ваших дэшбордах уже есть, то можете досыпать туда еще одну метрику – ThermalState, внутри которой кроется оценка Apple того, насколько вашему телефону сейчас плохо. В статье разбирается, что конкретно стоит логировать, помимо самой метрики, и как превратить ее в понятные продуктовые показатели.

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.

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.

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
