A recent injunction issued by a district court suspended enforcement of Texas state law SB2420, which introduced age assurance requirements for app marketplaces and developers.

In light of this ruling, Apple will pause previously announced implementation plans and monitor the ongoing legal process.

The tools we previously announced to help developers meet their compliance obligations will remain available for sandbox testing, including:These tools can also be used to help developers with their obligations under laws coming into effect in Utah and Louisiana in 2026.

The Declared Age Range API remains available worldwide for users on iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS 26, or later.

To comply with the Mobile Software Competition Act (MSCA), Apple is introducing changes to iOS that create new options for developers' apps in Japan.

Beginning with iOS 26.2, 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.

Those protections include Notarization for iOS apps, an authorization process for app marketplaces, and requirements that help protect children from inappropriate content and scams.

Today, we’re introducing the Mini Apps Partner Program, which expands on the App Store’s ongoing support for apps that offer mini apps.

Mini apps are self-contained experiences that are built using web technologies like HTML5 and JavaScript.

This program is designed to help developers who host mini apps grow their business and further the availability of mini apps on the App Store — all while providing a great customer experience.

Participating developers may benefit from a reduced commission rate of 15% on the sales of qualifying In-App Purchases.

Age categories for users with new Apple Accounts in Texas as of January 1, 2026, will be shared with a developer’s app when they request it.

Texas state law considers a change in the age rating of an app to be a significant change, and developers should keep their age rating selections current in App Store Connect.

When a developer updates their app’s age rating, the rating is updated on all user devices once the version is live.

App consent revocationA parent or guardian in Texas can withdraw consent for any app, which will block launching of the app on the child or teen’s device.

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

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

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

Identify and recommend best practices for bridging between Swift and the Windows API, and for shipping Swift libraries with Windows applications.

Learn more about the Windows workgroup by reading its charter.

While one could go and rewrite these libraries in Swift, usually there is no need, because Swift provides direct interoperability with C. With a little setup, you can directly use existing C libraries from your Swift code.

In this post, I’m going to use these annotations to improve how Swift interacts with the WebGPU C code.

You can create a module map for the WebGPU header by writing the following to a file module.modulemap :module WebGPU { header "webgpu.h" export * }The easiest thing to do is to put module.modulemap alongside the header itself.

The resulting API notes are in WebGPU.apinotes, and the generated Swift interface after these API notes are applied is here.

I'm seeing two patterns as a professional iOS engineer, and I'm wondering if others are seeing this too. They are: a steady decline in the number of native iOS roles around (that is, fewer companies hiring native iOS engineers), and many larger companies pushing to have more product development driven from the backend through some sort of dynamic framework that allows new features to largely be built without dedicated iOS engineers. Are there any other career iOS engineers out there seeing the same thing, and feeling that a move to indie, cross-platform, web or backend is inevitable? What are y'all seeing/experiencing out there? submitted by /u/UniekLee [link] [comments]

Hi everyone, Just wanted to share something I ran into today and see if others have experienced the same. I noticed that logging into App Store Connect fails when I’m connected to a public Wi-Fi. I then tried switching to a VPN, and the same issue happened, login either fails silently or throws an error. As soon as I: Switched to a trusted/private network, or Disabled the VPN …the login worked normally again. This feels intentional rather than a random outage. My guess is that Apple is being more aggressive about blocking or restricting ASC access from public networks, shared IPs, or VPN endpoints (possibly fraud / security related). Posting this as: A heads-up for other iOS devs And to ask…

Issue 740 23rd January 2026 Written by Dave VerwerThe best part of this week (related to the industry, at least!)

Obviously, Claude Code is great for long sessions working on a codebase, but I’ve also started using it for smaller tasks in directories with lots of text files, like the iOS Dev Weekly site source code directory.

Issue 739 16th January 2026 Written by Dave VerwerIf you’ve spent any time at all reading about AI coding agents, you’ll likely have heard that people get better results when working with languages other than Swift.

In fact, I’ve seen people say that type-safe languages produce better results as the agent can rely on the compiler to automatically catch basic errors.

So I’ve been interested to receive several recommendations of a tool that really helps the agents get to grips with the current state of Swift.

I can’t imagine a better guide to getting everything correct than the one in Alberto De Bortoli’s latest blog post.

Issue 738 9th January 2026 Written by Dave VerwerIt happened while I was away on my end-of-year break, but at the end of last year Apple announced changes to iOS in Japan.

iOS 26.2 enabled the changes, and now there are several regions of the world where users could be using browsers with non-WebKit rendering engines.

At the time it felt like we had a chance for HTML rendering engines to converge into one standard implementation (apologies to Gecko 😬), which promised to be a win for the web.

Note, I’m not talking about browsers, strictly about rendering engines.

One year ago, iOS 18 was at ~78%.

Issue 737 19th December 2025 Written by Dave VerwerI’m back from my vacation, which was exactly what I needed, and I now find myself writing the last issue of 2025!

😱To mark the end of the year, Apple announced this year’s App Store Award winners!

You can see the full list of awards and winners on the developer site, although I actually prefer their press release writeup as it includes screenshots of the apps.

I especially liked the Be My Eyes app, which restored some of my faith in humanity.

Follow along and have some Swifty fun with that Pi that is still sitting in its box on your shelf.

It takes the idea of using LLMs inside an app one step further than having the model return text or structured data.

I’d recommend watching this 30-second slice of the video for a better explanation than I can manage in a few words.

It includes a built-in set of widgets for common UI, and you can add your own too.

It has been possible to get Swift apps running on really tiny devices for a while now (as mentioned in Issue 655, Issue 673, and Issue 691), although getting it going was not trivial.

Issue 735 14th November 2025 Written by Dave VerwerIt’s been a few years since the closure of the Swift Weekly Brief newsletter.

I cover Swift news, of course, but I mainly stick to the larger announcements rather than covering anything still going through the Swift Evolution process.

Issue 734 7th November 2025 Written by Dave VerwerI did not have Apple launching a web-based version of the App Store on my bingo card for this week, but here we are.

It’s a full, multi-region implementation of the App Store, with the “Today” view (including featured lists and events) and Apple Arcade.

Should you rely on linking directly to an App Store listing, assuming that everyone who clicks on it will have a device that will launch the store and show your product page?

You also get the chance to let people opt in to receiving email, either as customers or as potential customers before they make an App Store download.

It’s a nice step forward for the App Store!

🎃The first time I ever wrote about Swift running on Android was back in Issue 220 when I linked to Romain Goyet’s post.

NewsApple may have already announced this:Offer codes build on the functionality of promo codes and provide improved configuration and customer eligibility options.

As a result, starting March 26, 2026, you’ll no longer be able to create promo codes for In-App Purchases in App Store Connect.

Any existing promo codes for In-App Purchases you’ve created can be redeemed until they expire.

You can continue to use promo codes in order to provide people with a free download of your app.

Issue 732 24th October 2025 Written by Dave VerwerI should have waited a week to talk about Liquid Glass!

If you’d like to take a look at the new setting to switch Liquid Glass between “Clear” and “Tinted”, Dan Barbera has a short, to-the-point video that demonstrates it.

👍DesignTalking of Liquid Glass, Rafael Conde posted some fascinating details about the process of adapting Sketch to macOS Tahoe.

Does that mean adopting Liquid Glass?

Issue 731 17th October 2025 Written by Dave VerwerThere has been plenty of criticism of Liquid Glass, both during the beta and since its official release.

There’s no question that Liquid Glass is a step back for legibility.

It’s also not just about legibility and Liquid Glass.

Michael Tsai, as always, has put together a great round-up of Liquid Glass comments from social media.

Maybe the most interesting thing about Liquid Glass is the conversations and critique that it has sparked.

Issue 730 10th October 2025 Written by Dave VerwerApple announced a trio of new packages at last week’s ServerSide.swift conference.

First up, and worthy of a blog post on Swift.org, is swift-profile-recorder, a new sampling profiler for server-side Swift apps.

Next, swift-configuration is also primarily intended for server-side apps, but it fills an important gap for defining and accessing configuration data for command-line tools.

👍It’s great to see Apple announce more packages to expand what’s possible with server-side Swift.

Oh, and I promise not to talk about server-side Swift again next week.

Issue 729 3rd October 2025 Written by Dave VerwerI was a regular conference speaker and attendee before the pandemic, but I haven’t got back into the habit since events restarted.

This week’s ServerSide.swift conference in London reminded me how much I miss in-person events.

So I thought I’d share how this conference made me feel, in case you have also struggled either to get back into in-person events or to get started with them!

If, like me, you’d like to jump back into an in-person conference, CocoaConferences has an up-to-date list of events.

I also expect to see Swift Heroes, Swift Craft, NSSpain, and Swift Island announce follow-up events, as they all ran successful events this year.

Issue 728 26th September 2025 Written by Dave VerwerIf you haven’t checked in on Swift on the server for a while, now is a great time to give it another look.

I’m so happy to say that there’s not a single EventLoopFuture in sight if you just want to build an app!

This is open source working as intended, including a fantastic effort from the Swift Server Workgroup to incubate and recommend packages.

CodeIt’s always great to see someone as experienced with app development as Max Seelemann, co-creator of Ulysses, start blogging for the first time.

In his first post, he tackles the important topic of speeding up image loading on both iOS and macOS.

He started the project in 2023 with Layout Guidelines and followed it up in late 2024 with Toolbar Guidelines.

❤️Apple’s current HIG is great, but it’s far more high-level than the old guidelines used to be.

What I’d love to see Apple tackle is a guide to SwiftUI-based design with this level of detail.

Either way, don’t miss Mario’s Layout Guidelines and Toolbar Guidelines.

From time to time, OpenAI removes older models from ChatGPT’s model picker, as users become accustomed to newer ones.

GPT-4o is going away for goodLast August, when OpenAI released GPT-5, it removed GPT-4o from ChatGPT’s model picker without much (or any) warning.

At the time, OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman said:4o is back in the model picker for all paid users by default.

Paid users also now have a “Show additional models” toggle in ChatGPT web settings which will add models like o3, 4.1, and GPT-5 Thinking mini.

However, one learning for us from the past few days is we really just need to get to a world with more per-user customization of model personality.

Over the last few days, UpScrolled went from a relatively unknown app to the top of the App Store, as users flocked away from TikTok.

The app was released just 7 months ago, and its last App Store update was on November 2, 2025.

We’re getting close to the launch of iOS 26.3, but one of my favorite Apple features of late is a new Reminders addition in iOS 26.2 that has proven exactly what I’ve wanted for years.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is out with a new campaign that presses tech companies to move faster to protect user data through end-to-end encryption, and stronger defaults and privacy settings.

In Apple’s case, the EFF is calling on the company to:Deliver on their promise of interoperable end-to-end encryption of RCS.

Just a few weeks ago, iOS 26.3 beta 2 introduced new carrier bundle settings tied to end-to-end encryption support for RCS messages in the Messages app.

Last March, following the GSM Association’s standardization of end-to-end encryption for RCS messages, both Apple and Google confirmed they would work to bring the feature to their messaging platforms.

iOS 26 expands systemwide AutoFill to support credit cardsI try to avoid manually typing in credit cards details as much as possible.

That’s because iOS 26 expands the systemwide AutoFill feature to now include credit cards.

There’s also a new home for managing these AutoFill credit cards: the Apple Wallet app.

But no matter your browser of choice, this new iOS 26 menu lets you add new AutoFill cards with ease.

Have you been using AutoFill for credit cards in iOS 26?

That is why the SwitchBot Candle Warmer Lamp caught my eye.

Unlike some of SwitchBot’s other gear that requires a Hub 2 to bridge into Apple’s ecosystem, the Candle Warmer Lamp supports Matter over Wi-Fi.

Yang left to start a new company, while You and Bailin Wang joined Meta, according to people familiar with the matter.

In Zirui Wang’s case, the researcher is joining Google DeepMind, which is helping Apple build the core AI models that will power new features.

Gurman describes Bowers as one of Apple’s most “senior executives working on Siri.” His role inside Apple was expanded last year and he reported to Siri chief Mike Rockwell.

There’s a bit of irony in Bowers leaving Apple for Google, where he will work on the Gemini models that Apple is using to build its next-generation version of Siri.

Apple’s AI and Siri teams have gone through major reorganizations over the last year.

This fall Apple has three flagship iPhones rumored to launch: iPhone 18 Pro, 18 Pro Max, and iPhone Fold.

Per the latest rumors, there are two key camera advantages the iPhone 18 Pro will have.

iPhone 18 Pro rumored to have two camera advantages over iPhone FoldWhen it comes to cameras, iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max are expected to offer at least two upgrades over the iPhone 17 Pro:Main camera is gaining variable aperture Telephoto camera will have a wider apertureIt’s likely Apple has other surprises in store too, but these are the main rumors so far.

So while iPhone Fold users will miss out on a Telephoto camera, iPhone 18 Pro users will get an even better Telephoto lens thanks to its wider a…

That’s left us forced to choose between the slickest connection experience and the best audio.

My previous in-ear headphones were the Master & Dynamic MW09 I reviewed back in 2023.

However, there’s absolutely no question in my mind that this is completely justified by the audio quality.

These are quite simply the best-sounding in-ear headphones I’ve ever tried.

The Technics EAH-AZ100 in-ear headphones are available on Amazon.

In a new report about Apple losing at least four more AI researchers in recent weeks, in addition to a high-ranking Siri executive, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reiterated that the company is preparing to release two new versions of Siri.

First, Apple announced that it plans to release a more personalized version of Siri powered by Google Gemini this year.

Back in June 2024, Apple said the revamped Siri will have understanding of personal context, on-screen awareness, deeper in-app controls, and more.

This will essentially turn Siri into ChatGPT or Gemini, except it will be built right into the iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with no app required.

Gurman said the Siri chatbot will be "competitive with Ge…

In the end, though, Apple announced that it had decided to use Google's Gemini platform instead.

According to Gurman, Apple went with Google due at least in part to money.

Apple was "not going to use Google" for the revamped Siri until "a few months ago," he said.

Apple announced that it plans to release a more personalized version of Siri powered by Google Gemini this year.

Back in June 2024, Apple said the revamped Siri will have awareness of personal context, on-screen awareness, deeper in-app controls, and more.

Following a January that saw Apple release a new AirTag and the Creator Studio bundle of creative apps, it is now time to shift our attention to February.

Personalized Siri (Beta)Apple plans to announce a more personalized version of Siri powered by Google Gemini in the second half of February, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.

Apple first announced the more personalized version of Siri all the way back at WWDC 2024, but it was eventually delayed.

The revamped Siri reportedly experienced issues inside Apple, leading the company to turn to Google Gemini.

As part of the partnership, the revamped Siri will still run on a new Apple Intelligence model that has Gemini's technology baked in.

Apple designs a range of premium MagSafe charging stands, display trays, and hardware systems exclusively for displays in its global retail stores.

"AppleUnsold" surfaced this week as an Australia-based seller that has begun offering ‌Apple Store‌ display hardware for sale through both an independent website and an eBay storefront.

The store display stands, retail accessories, Genius Bar tools and employee gear, and until now, the answer was always the same: you can't.

Items currently offered or previously listed for sale include iPhone ‌MagSafe‌ demo chargers, Apple Watch charging docks, AirPods Max display stands, Apple Pencil trays, iPad ring stands, and display trays designed for Apple …

On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we discuss Apple's newly launched AirTag 2 and Apple Creator Studio.

The second-generation ‌AirTag‌ is priced the same as before at $29 for a single unit or $99 for a four-pack, is compatible with existing ‌AirTag‌ accessories, and requires devices running iOS 26.2.1 or later.

Apple also launched Creator Studio, a new all-in-one subscription aimed at content creators.

Beyond bundling existing apps, Creator Studio introduces a set of AI-powered features that are exclusive to subscribers.

Creator Studio is available now via the App Store, with a one-month free trial for all users and a three-month trial for customers who purchase a qualifying new …

Apple today shared a short film to usher in the Chinese New Year, aka Lunar New Year, which begins February 17 and will be celebrated through March 3.

"A girl, a talking dog, and a meticulously thought out scheme make up this heartwarming tale about finding family," says Apple.

"Apple joins forces with director Bai Xue for an imaginative blend of cinematography and stop-motion to usher in Chinese New Year."

The video was shot on the iPhone 17 Pro, and there is also behind-the-scenes footage.

Apple Creator Studio now has an official Instagram account, as spotted by Scott Buscemi.

Apple Creator Studio is a new subscription bundle that provides access to Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, Pixelmator Pro, Motion, Compressor, and MainStage on the Mac and/or iPad, with U.S. pricing set at $12.99 per month or $129 per year.

A subscription also unlocks "intelligent features" and "premium content" in apps like Numbers, Pages, and Keynote, plus the Freeform app later this year.

If you are interested in Apple's creative apps, you may wish to follow the account, which will presumably share tips and tricks and more.

A second-generation iPhone Air is "not expected this year," according to a Nikkei Asia report today that cites people familiar with Apple's supply chain.

The report said Apple plans to release an iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and foldable iPhone later this year, followed by the base model iPhone 18 in the first half of next year.

The report said Apple does have a revamped iPhone Air in the pipeline, but the publication does not expect it to launch until at least 2027.

That report added that the next iPhone Air could weigh less, have a larger battery capacity, and gain a vapor chamber cooling system like the iPhone 17 Pro models have.

While several reports indicated that the iPhone Air h…

Apple CEO Tim Cook yesterday reiterated the structure of its partnership with Google to use Gemini AI models for the next generation version of Siri.

That description closely matches language from Apple and Google's earlier joint announcement, which said that ‌Apple Intelligence‌ would continue to operate on Apple hardware and Private Cloud Compute.

When asked about monetization and return on investment, Cook framed ‌Apple Intelligence‌ as a feature integrated across Apple's platforms rather than a discrete revenue driver.

Neither Cook nor Parekh disclosed how many users currently have access to ‌Apple Intelligence‌ features or whether those capabilities are driving hardware upgrades.

Apple…

Apple CEO Tim Cook believes that his company will have opportunities to deliver "innovations that have never been seen before" this year.

Cook hypes up Apple's future on every earnings call, but "innovations that have never been seen before" is particularly bold wording compared to his usual comment about how the company's product pipeline is stronger than ever.

Will the long-rumored Apple smart glasses do anything unique compared to the Meta Ray-Bans?

Will the rumored Apple smart home hub, security camera, and Face ID video doorbell give companies like Google and Ring a run for their money?

These are some of 2026's burning questions, and we look forward to seeing what Apple has in store th…

Google Maps now lets you talk to Gemini while following walking or cycling directions.

The latest update is an extension to the AI chatbot's existing conversational navigation feature in driving mode that rolled out in November.

You can now ask Gemini hands-free questions without leaving the navigation screen.

You can also ask practical questions such as "What's my next turn?"

To activate Gemini during navigation, tap the Gemini icon in the top-right corner or use the "Hey Google" invocation.

Apple has discontinued the iPhone Upgrade Program in the United Kingdom, moving to a more traditional financing system.

The change appears to be related to Apple ending its partnership with Barclays bank, which supported the ‌iPhone‌ Upgrade Program in the UK.

The iPhone Upgrade Program webpage in the country now says:The iPhone Upgrade Program is coming to an end, but we think you'll love what's next.

The ‌iPhone‌ Upgrade Program allows customers to get a new ‌iPhone‌ annually with AppleCare+ included for a monthly fee.

The ‌iPhone‌ Upgrade Program continues to be available in other countries.

Apple's rumored plan to split its iPhone launch cycle beginning this year has gained additional credibility, with a new report from Nikkei Asia corroborating earlier claims from The Information, Bloomberg, and Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.

According to Nikkei's sources, Apple will prioritize its first foldable iPhone along with iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max models for the second half of 2026, while the standard iPhone 18 will ship in the first half of 2027.

It does note however that a second-generation iPhone Air is in Apple's pipeline, though it is not expected this year.

Notably, Apple explicitly mentioned iPhone supply constraints during its recent earnings call on Thursday.

For Appl…

AirPods Pro 3 demand was so strong after they launched in September last year that Apple's CEO Tim Cook said the company was caught off guard.

"AirPods Pro 3 were supply-constrained during the quarter, and we think we would have grown year over year if we would not have been constrained," Cook told The Wall Street Journal, in a report published alongside Apple's record-breaking earnings results for the fourth quarter of the 2025 calendar year.

AirPods Pro 3 no longer have any extended delivery delays on Apple's online store, so it would appear that Apple has caught up on supply by now.

AirPods Pro 3 feature increased active noise cancellation, improved sound quality, longer battery life per…

Like all good engineering solutions, building a design system should aim to solve an actual problem that we’re facing within a given project.

In the case of Genius Scan, since our initial focus was on lists, we started by creating a basic Row component, which would simply combine a leading and trailing element into a horizontal row:public struct Row: View { public var leading: Leading public var trailing: Trailing public init ( @ViewBuilder leading: () -> Leading , @ViewBuilder trailing: () -> Trailing = EmptyView .

leading = leading () self .

Configuration () ... } extension EnvironmentValues { @Entry var configuration = Configuration () }Note how we also define an @Entry for our configu…

Let’s say that we’ve declared a User struct within a project, which currently only contains constant let properties:struct User: Identifiable , Codable { let id: UUID let name: String let bio: String let imageURL: URL ? }

That could be done like this:struct User: Identifiable , Codable { let id: UUID let name: String let bio: String let imageURL: URL ?

init (id: UUID = UUID () , name: String , bio: String , imageURL: URL ?

id = id self .

Such an API could take the form of a UserTransformer protocol, which uses Swift’s inout parameter feature to enable each transformer to directly mutate the User value that was passed to it, without first having to make a mutable copy:protocol UserTran…

However, sometimes we might be working with a type that requires some additional data that’s not present in the JSON (or whichever data format we’re decoding from) in order to be initialized.

ID ) async throws -> User { let favoritesURL = favoritesURLForUser (withID: id) let userURL = urlForUser (withID: id) async let favorites = request (favoritesURL) as Favorites async let partialUser = request (userURL) as User .

membershipPoints , favorites: favorites ) } ... private func request( _ url: URL ) async throws -> T { let (data, _ ) = try await session.

userInfo [configurationUserInfoKey] wrapped = try Wrapped ( from: decoder, configuration: configuration as !

func decode( from data: Dat…

For example, let’s say that we’re building a custom Container view, which renders a header on top of a content view, while also applying some default styling to those two components:struct Container: View { var header: Header var content: Content var body: some View { VStack (spacing: 0 ) { header .

var body: some View { Container (header: { Text ( "Welcome" ) }, content: { if let user { HomeView (user: user) } else { LoginView (user: $user ) } }) } }Neat!

init , content: content) } }Note that we have to use a closure for our content property above, rather than just a Content value.

init , @ViewBuilder content: () -> Content ) { self .

header = header () self .

close () } return try connection.

alreadyLoading } isLoading = true defer { isLoading = false } let request = requestForLoadingItems (after: lastItem) let response = try await networking.

ID : Task <[ Item ], Error >]() ... func loadItems(after lastItem: Item ) async throws -> [ Item ] { if let existingTask = activeTasksForLastItemID[lastItem.

value } let task = Task { defer { activeTasksForLastItemID[lastItem.

id ] = task return try await task.

It's also great to see Swift Testing going from strength to strength, with three major improvements coming in Swift 6.2, including exit tests and attachments.

So, this kind of code is legal in Swift 6.2 and later:func `function name with spaces`() { print("Hello, world!")

As an example, we could create two classes like this:final class User: Sendable { let id = UUID() } final class Session: Sendable { weak let user: User?

{ self.user = user } }We could then make and use them like so:var user: User?

Note: Unlike the XCTest equivalent, Swift Testing's attachments do not support lifetime controls in Swift 6.2.

Sponsor Hacking with Swift and reach the world's largest Swift community!

In Swift 6.1 this has been resolved, but only when the new MemberImportVisibility upcoming feature flag is enabled.

Formalize ‘language mode’ terminologySE-0441 makes a small but important change to the way we describe Swift versions, clearly separating Swift version from Swift language mode.

Creating a test scope means conforming to two protocols: the core TestTrait protocol, and also the TestScoping protocol introduced in Swift 6.1.

Swift 6.2 will almost certainly arrive at WWDC25, and will include another batch of changes aimed at refining Swift concurrency amongst other improvements.

In this tutorial, you’ll modify an app to use Apple Foundation Models to summarize text.

Apple Foundation Model RequirementsTo use the on-device language model, the user needs to have hardware that supports Apple Intelligence.

Even if the Simulator is running an appropriate version of the OS, it will only work if the underlying macOS supports Apple Foundation Models.

When following along with this tutorial, also note that macOS 26 virtual machines often fail to support Apple Foundation Models.

Before using Apple Foundation Models, you must ensure the user’s device supports it and that the user has turned it on.

Build your own low-level game engine in Metal!

Metal is a unified application programming interface (API) for the graphics processing unit, or GPU.

Finally, Metal is a low-overhead API because it reduces the central processing unit (CPU) cost by multi-threading and pre-compiling of resources.

This book will introduce you to low-level graphics programming in Metal — Apple’s framework for programming on the graphics processing unit (GPU).

Because you’ll have built your 3D game engine from scratch, you’ll be able to customize every aspect of what you see on your screen.

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

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

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

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

I wrote this in response:Both Apple and Phil Schiller himself took a huge risk in doing this.

And humanizing the company and its decisions, especially to developers — remember, developer relations is all under Phil — might be worth the PR risk.

* * *For unspecified reasons, Apple has declined to participate this year, ending what had become a beloved tradition in our community — and I can’t help but suspect that it won’t come back.

We’ll see what their WWDC PR strategy looks like in a couple of weeks.

This will be the first WWDC I’m not attending since 2009 (excluding the remote 2020 one, of course).

Улучшаем интероп с СЕсли вы пробовали работать с С библиотеками напрямую из Swift кода, то результат вам скорее всего не очень нравился. В посте разбирают, как различные Swift фичи помогают обернуть библиотеку на чистом С во вполне идиоматичный Swift API.

Как исправить баг в компиляторе SwiftНебольшая история про то, как даже тривиальный source-compatible багфикс в компилятор требует многих дней обсуждений и длинных циклов проверки на CI. Если где-то на дне вашего бэклога лежит план законтрибьютить в любимый язык – обязательно почитайте.

Держите идею по борьбе с мошенниками для банковских приложений! Когда во время звонка кому-то вы открываете Revolut, то сверху появляется небольшой красный баннер, предупреждающий, что на звонке не техническая поддержка.

Советы про Universal Links👉Обязательно валидируйте ваш AASA файл против JSON схемы на CI👉Apple легко может закешировать некорректную версию файла на своих CDN, перепроверяйте👉Существующие тулы плохо справляются с парсингом wildcard синтаксиса Apple, так что придется писать свой парсер👉Тестируйте на реальном staging домене с https👉Следите за кодировкой и не используйте percent encoding

Кастомное поведение строковой интерполяции Помимо простой подстановки значения, со строковой интерполяцией можно делать и более интересные вещи – например, прямо на ходу исполнять какую-то логику – форматировать значение правильным образом в зависимости от его типа, валидировать его, или применять условную логику.

Skip теперь бесплатныйПро Skip, набор инструментов для транспилирования Swift в Kotlin, мы на канале говорили довольно часто. Большого адопшна у ребят так и не случилось, но главное, чего они добились – добавили Android в список официальных таргетов Swift и запустили полноценную рабочую группу вокруг проекта.Так вот, раньше большая часть Skip была закрытой и платной, а с этой недели бизнес-модель меняется, и все выкладывается в опенсорс. Основная причина – никто не хочет платить за инструменты для разработки. Выживет ли проект дальше, пока не очень понятно, будем следить.

Если построить иконки Apple от самых новых к самым старым, можно увидеть, как начинающий дизайнер постепенно учится делать классные иконки!

Проблемы Tab Bar в iOS 26В iOS 26 в таббаре появился новый специальный вид таба – поиск, который визуально отделен от остальной панели и в целом похож на кнопку. В том и кроется проблема – из-за этой похожести в кастомных реализациях таббара туда начинают добавлять другие действия – например, создание нового элемента, что будет путать пользователей еще сильнее.

Apple тестирует новое отображение рекламы в App StoreApple начали тестировать новый вид отображения рекламных позиций в списке приложений, которые теперь полностью повторяют обычную карточку, за исключением маленькой иконки "Ad" в углу. Больше темных паттернов богу темных паттернов!

Cupertino – MCP сервер для документации AppleCupertino вытаскивает информацию с кучи ресурсов, включая официальные доки, метаданные всех Swift Packages и HIG, индексирует их локально, и через MCP отдает как контекст AI агентам.

Swift Language Reference в виде книгиДокументацию по Swift красиво сверстали по всем типографским правилам и выложили в PDF, так что, если всегда хотели иметь ее как настольную книгу, возможность теперь есть!

Гайд по промптингу локальных моделейApple выпустили документацию по тому, как правильно составлять промпты для моделей, доступных через Foundation Models Framework – в том числе как делать так, чтобы модель лучше следовала инструкциям, и как выносить условную логику в код.

Dependency mirroring со SwiftPMSwift Package Manager дает возможность подменять удаленные зависимости их локальными копиями прямо через CLI с помощью команды swift package config set-mirror. В чем плюсы:👉Все делается через терминал, не нужно открывать Xcode и вручную перетаскивать папки👉Не трогаем Package.swift, так как конфигурация зеркал хранится отдельно👉Настройка зеркал работает сразу для всех проектов с этими зависимостями

Как деплоить в TestFlight напрямую из Codex WebС появлением такой штуки, как асинхронные агенты, разрабатывать стало возможно вообще не трогая макбук. В статье разбирается, как с помощью Codex Web сделать PR, собрать его в Xcode Cloud, и сразу же залить для тестирования в TestFlight.

Apple будет использовать GeminiНу что ж, Apple Intelligence, Siri, и видимо локальные модели будут основаны на Gemini от Google. В целом это отличная новость, Google за последний год огромный рывок в AI сделали, и модели правда хорошие.

As multi-module setups become more common, it helps to be precise about how imports work.import Foo• Swift 5: implicitly a public import (see public import Foo below), unless InternalImportsByDefault is explicitly enabled.• Swift 6: a regular internal import — visible only inside the module and does not affect the public interface.public import Foo• Allows Foo types to be used in public / open API.• Downstream modules gain access to Foo, but still have to explicitly write import Foo themselves.@_exported import Foo• Foo types become automatically available to any module importing yours.• Useful for facade modules.https://alexanderweiss.dev/blog/2026-01-16-exported-import-vs-public-import#sw…

Every time Apple ships a “simpler” sync API, I hope this is the one where I won’t have to think too much. CKSyncEngine almost looks like it… until you read Christian Selig’s article.It’s not a tutorial — it’s a list of things that will quietly break later if you trust the magic:• saves resolve conflicts, deletes don’t;• enums in synced models are a trap;• engine state must be persisted;• quota errors are still your problem.The API is better, but architectural responsibility didn’t go anywhere. So it’s worth reading if you’re considering CKSyncEngine.https://christianselig.com/2026/01/cksyncengine/#iOS #CloudKit

Every time I read articles about SF Symbols, I’m amazed by the animations, the customization, and how polished everything looks. I think: maybe next year I’ll finally sneak them into a real app…Spoiler: yeah… probably never. Most of these ideas live happily in pet projects and playgrounds.Maybe there are some lucky people in this chat actually using them in production? If so — envy! As the year ends, here’s my little wish for all of us: may next year finally give us a project brave enough to let us play with them for real! 😎https://nilcoalescing.com/blog/AnimatingSFSymbolsInSwiftUI/#SwiftUI #animations

Recently had to animate a SwiftUI sheet resizing itself — sounds like a super basic thing, but the actual solution was anything but obvious.If you ever need an animatable, auto-sized sheet, this write-up breaks down an approach.

Apple quietly dropped a few nice App Store updates.The biggest one — you can finally submit a new version, while another build is still under review. 🙌Other small but welcome changes:• Up to 70 custom product pages per app (each with unique keywords).• Offer codes now work for all IAP types, replacing old promo codes by March 2026.https://www.macrumors.com/2025/10/29/apple-developer-app-store-updates/#AppStore

Xcode 26 is out, so if you’re wondering whether to opt into Main Actor isolation in Swift 6.2, Donny Wals wrote a short piece that helps you weigh the pros and cons before flipping the switch.For UI packages, main actor isolation makes sense since almost everything should run on the main thread.For SPM packages like Networking, it’s less obvious — you might prefer to make types Sendable or design them as actors instead of forcing everything onto the main thread.When in doubt, isolating to the main actor is usually a safe default — and you can always mark code that needs concurrency with @concurrent later.donnywals.com/should-you-opt-in-to-swift-6-2s-main-actor-isolation#concurrency #swift

GPT-5 already got devs hyped — and now OpenAI just dropped GPT-5-Codex: a version of GPT-5 laser-focused on real engineering. If you’re still on Claude Code — this might be the perfect time to give it a try. At least until Claude ships an updated model and we all switch back again. 😅https://openai.com/index/introducing-upgrades-to-codex/#LLM

Apple docs are already frustrating and often not very helpful for developers, and on top of that, LLMs can barely make sense of them: try loading a page with an LLM and all it sees is a JavaScript error: “This page requires JavaScript. Please turn it on and refresh to view content.” The extra scripts and clutter make it nearly unreadable. 😦Thankfully, Mattt from NSHipster created this service — it strips out the junk and turns docs into clean, AI-friendly Markdown. Just swap the domain and your LLM finally gets it.Can’t help it… AI posts keep coming. 💥https://sosumi.ai#LLM
