Apple is making changes to the App Store in China following discussions with the Chinese regulator.

As of March 15, 2026, changes will be made to the commission rates that apply to the China mainland storefront of the App Store on iOS and iPadOS.

The commission rate for standard Apple In-App Purchase and paid app transactions will be 25%.

We strive for iOS and iPadOS to be the best app ecosystem and a great business opportunity for developers in China.

We are committed to terms that remain fair and transparent to all developers, and to always offering competitive App Store rates to developers distributing apps in China that are no higher than overall rates in other markets.

Updates to the Declared Age Range API are now available in beta for testing.

BrazilDevelopers who are distributing apps in Brazil can use the updated Declared Age Range API to obtain a user’s age category.

To assist with this, the Declared Age Range API—available on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS—provides developers with a helpful signal about a user's age.

Developers can use the Declared Age Range API to present significant update notifications to adults in these states through the Significant Update Action, now in beta.

When releasing a significant update, developers must follow the Human Interface Guidelines and provide users with a meaningful description of the update.

The beta versions of iOS 26.4, iPadOS 26.4, macOS 26.4, tvOS 26.4, visionOS 26.4, and watchOS 26.4 are now available.

Get your apps ready by confirming they work as expected on these releases.

And make sure to build and test with Xcode 26.4 beta to take advantage of the advancements in the latest SDKs.

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.

👋 I help grow and support the Swift open source community, and one of my favorite things has been increasing Swift’s participation in open source events.

FOSDEM may be over (for now), but I’m already excited about how the Swift community will show up next year!

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

AuthorsKaren Chu focuses on Swift's open source community initiatives as part of Apple's Open Source Program Office.

Vladimir Kukushkin works on foundational Swift server libraries at Apple, and is a maintainer of Swift System Metrics.

We are excited to announce the 1.0 release of Swift System Metrics, a Swift package that collects process-level system metrics like CPU utilization time and memory usage.

Swift System Metrics is part of a larger set of packages that provide an end-to-end solution for integrating metrics into your Swift applications and services.

Once system metrics are collected, they’re reported to Swift Metrics, a backend-agnostic metrics API that can work with popular backends like Prometheus and OpenTelemetry.

For this edition of “What’s new in Swift,” we invited a developer to share their experience:Hi, I’m Nick Sloan.

We chose Swift for Studioworks because of how easy it is to write safe and reliable code with great performance.

Our Swift project makes use of Hummingbird 2, Soto (for its incredible DynamoDB Codable support), Hummingbird MacroRouting, and Elementary.

We’ve been deploying web applications with PHP and Python for decades, and getting started with a Swift web project was certainly a bit slower.

Swift on the web has been a resounding success for us, and I hope we’ll see this part of the community continue to grow!

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.

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.

Hi folks, a quick PSA from me on APNS & iOS 26.4. If your CKQuerySubscription push notifications stopped working on TestFlight/Production recently, it's not your code. Apple has confirmed a regression in iOS 26.4 that breaks CloudKit subscription-to-APNS delivery in the Production environment. Symptoms: Subscriptions exist (verified via CKFetchSubscriptionsOperation) Records are created and match predicates APNS works (Xcode Push Notifications Console delivers fine) Development environment works perfectly, Production doesn't Works on iOS 26.3.1, broken on 26.4 I spent two days debugging this for my app before an Apple engineer confirmed it on the Developer Forums. Figured I'd save someone e…

I'm sort of sick of our clients having to use PWA so we decided its time for swift and our native app. I have few questions related to usability. Our web app has full functionality. The app is meant to be a lightweight version with fraction of features. Just so it makes more sense. It's a CRM on web and the app is meant to be for - Quick dashboard analytics - Messaging across different accounts - Calls with clients - Content and Appointment Calendar I do not want people to be able to e.g connect IG, FB or other social accounts from the phone. Would I face any backlash from apple that its maybe not a 'full app' etc? I've read that they might be giving issues if its low effort? How'd I go abo…

Onboarding, and the app store description seems like obvious places, but I'm thinking something to reference more permanently in the app could be useful too. Maybe a screen accessed through the menu. When publishing new version do you include some kind of notification within the app to let existing users know about new features? submitted by /u/Braided_Playlist [link] [comments]

Well all that changed as Apple has just approved my app and now it's on the App Store! I'm not entirely sure why I did it. Frustration probably. Boredom maybe. One day I was sitting there paying for five separate AI subscriptions - ChatGPT Plus, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Midjourney - constantly switching between them depending on what I needed, and it was annoyi…

I have two apps on the appstore now, and for both, I ran into the same issue when submitting iOS apps, which is that App Store Connect asks for a privacy policy URL and support URL, and if you don’t already have a proper website set up, it turns into this dumb and annoying extra task you have to solve before release. So I ended up making a small tool for it. It’s mainly for the case where you quickly just need working hosted pages for the App Store review stuff without building and setting up a website for it. Not trying to make this a big promo post, I just figured other people here have had the same issue, and ended up endlessly googling things like "how to get a privacy policy URL for Ap…

There’s a lot of hype in the iOS dev community around the new analytics page, but I honestly don’t see the appeal. Apple is effectively deprecating one of the most useful features (for me at least)— the ability to view “Trends and Analytics” across all apps in one place. Instead, they’ve buried it under individual app tabs, which makes managing and analyzing performance across an entire app portfolio significantly less useful. As I see better approach would be to improve that page with more detailed charts 📊 instead of just bury it. Any thoughts or ideas ? https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=hh6v4b55 submitted by /u/Successful_Stop_3751 [link] [comments]

please stop mass producing apps. seriously. I understand that we all need income and that the job market is as dry as Ben Shapiro’s wife. I understand that the bills don’t pay themselves. But this is just insane. Half the posts on this subreddit are about subscriptions, I swear to god. Everything’s a paywall, and so many of those posts say that they’re launching multiple apps in short spans of time. God, why? Do you take no pride in what you do? It is the development that is the good part. The good part is where you spend 3 hours on a UI element that makes you smile every time you see it. The good part is where you make a great architecture, and then adding features is like sliding through …

I’ve been building an app with Claude Code for about six months. Along the way I started creating custom audit “skills” to catch things prompting and memory files couldn’t. As the skills got more sophisticated, I started noticing a pattern. They would confidently report work as done when in reality it was partial, shallow, or based on assumptions. So I started iterating: test--> catch the gap--> redesign the skill-->rinse, repeat. At some point that turned into a deeper question. The following is an excerpt from one of those discussions. It started with a simple question: is it a lie when the AI doesn't intend to lie? ----- Me: I think the phrase "making AI tools that don't lie to their use…

Issue 745 13th March 2026 Written by Dave VerwerI spent a little time updating and cleaning up the iOS Dev Directory this week and it reminded me that I’ve not talked about it here in a while.

Getting people to know about a new blog is hard, especially if you don’t have a large social media following.

That said, because it’s not a “destination” site, it always needs an occasional push here to remind people it exists.

I do have another reason to write about the iOS Dev Directory.

I’d love some help with iOS Dev Directory from anyone who thinks a site like this is important.

Yes, it might help with a simple task, but does it do everything that everyone in that company used the SaaS product for?

What I talked about last week in terms of detailed thought going into the prompt isn’t just for code.

It’s much more about thinking through edge cases, user interfaces, features, and everything else that goes into making good software.

So I kept on making the software that I wanted to build, that I wanted to exist in this world.

I’ve linked to several workflows like this for iOS, but don’t think I have linked to one for macOS before!

Well, yes, but not on how to set it up, use it, or whether I like the Xcode 26.3 implementation.

It’s good, and the presenters do a good job of explaining it, but you’ll notice something about the prompts they use.

I’d love to see the spec in a completely separate context window to the coding agent, too.

I’d love to see Apple and the Xcode team really lead from the front and reduce the friction of working this way.

Aryaman Sharda:SimTag adds a small, unobtrusive overlay to each iOS Simulator window showing the branch that build came from.

Issue 742 6th February 2026 Written by Dave VerwerI received plenty of feedback on my comment from last week about Swift for Wasm and Windows, and wanted to start this week by highlighting the projects that I heard about.

They are even hiring for a couple of roles (1, 2), if you’re interested in using Swift and Wasm together every day.

Also on the Wasm side, Geoff Pado’s Barcode Generator for his Barc app uses Wasm to generate the barcode images.

What I didn’t realise is that much of that Electron app is backed by Swift code.

😂What’s potentially even more exciting than the built-in agent support in Xcode 26.3 is what Rudrank Riyam discovered by digging a little deeper into the release.

Issue 741 30th January 2026 Written by Dave VerwerA couple of announcements combined to inspire this week’s comment.

I’m not aware of any current and significant Wasm projects built with Swift¹, and even if I missed some, the ecosystem would certainly benefit from more!

That said, I’m delighted to see a real-world open source project that is pushing Wasm into real use-cases.

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.

😬VideosI wrote about ServerSide.swift 2025 back in Issue 729, but if you missed the conference, you can at least now catch up with the session videos!

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

It regularly covered detailed information on Swift Evolution proposals, topics from the Swift Forums, and other Swift community news.

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.

I especially like his point that parameterising your tests has the potential to introduce logic into your test code that mirrors the code you’re testing.

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 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.

Apple has also confirmed to 9to5Mac that it has no plans to offer future Mac Pro hardware.

Mac Studio is the futureThe Mac Pro has lived many lives over the years.

Apple released the current Mac Pro industrial design in 2019 alongside the Pro Display XDR (which was also discontinued earlier this month).

With that in mind, the Mac Studio is clearly set up to be the ‘pro’ desktop Mac of the future in Apple’s lineup.

With the discontinuation of Mac Pro today, Apple now sells three desktop Macs:And three laptops:To me, this is the strongest Mac lineup in years, and perhaps the strongest Mac lineup ever.

A new report from Bloomberg details that Apple recently awarded “rare bonuses to iPhone hardware designers this week.” The bonuses are said to be worth “several hundred thousand dollars” and are viewed as a way to deter employees from departing for high-paying startups like OpenAI.

The bonuses are “out-of-cycle,” meaning they come separate from Apple’s typical scheduled bonuses for employees.

In some cases, those companies are paying individual Apple engineers roughly $1 million in stock annually to jump ship.

“While the bonuses are unusual, it’s not the first time Apple has taken such a step.

The streaming giant just rolled out new pricing for all of its streaming plans, with the Premium plan hitting $26.99/month.

Netflix just got more expensive across all plans, Premium now $26.99Tell me if you’ve heard this one before: a TV streaming service is raising prices.

Netflix, which feels like it was sub-$10 for the good plan not too long ago, has just rolled out new, higher prices yet again (via Variety).

These aren’t necessarily “significant” increases, but with how regularly Netflix—and other streaming services—have been raising prices, those new price tags still feel a bit jarring.

But it seems those cost savings aren’t translating into a break from price increases for subscribers.

Apple will unveil iOS 27 on June 8 at WWDC, and we’re learning new details about what to expect in the next big iPhone software release.

Siri will work with more AI chatbot apps through extensionSince iOS 18 in 2024, Siri has featured ChatGPT integration.

iPhone, iPad, and Mac will support the new featureThe new system will be present on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27.

AI chatbot apps will need to update to take advantage of the new Siri integration in iOS 27 after the new system is announced.

Separately, Gurman has reported that Apple plans to make Siri work like an AI chatbot in iOS 27, and the company is even testing a standalone Siri app.

But corroborating a recent report, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman said today there is “no doubt” the iPhone Fold will ship a bit later than the iPhone 18 Pro.

iPhone Fold to ship ‘a little bit later’ than other models, per GurmanToday Mark Gurman at Bloomberg hosted a live Q&A in which he answered a variety of Apple-related questions.

And so there is no doubt that this is going to come a little bit later than the Pro phones.

Apple is still expected to introduce the iPhone Fold in September alongside iPhone 18 Pro.

Does the launch timing of iPhone Fold make a difference to your purchase decision?

iOS 26.4 launched this week, and among its many changes, the update expands Apple Creator Studio by introducing exclusive new Freeform features.

Freeform has new features in iOS 26.4, macOS 26.4, and iPadOS 26.4 via Creator StudioApple Creator Studio launched earlier this year as Apple’s latest app subscription offering.

At launch, Apple said that Freeform would add Creator Studio features later in the year too—and iOS 26.4 fulfills that promise.

iOS 26.4, macOS 26.4, and iPadOS 26.4 all arrived this week, and they make Apple Creator Studio an even better value by bringing several upgrades to Freeform.

Apple Creator Studio costs $12.99/month, but free trials are available—in some cases for …

The ‌Mac Pro‌ was last updated in 2023, which was when Apple added an M2 Ultra Apple silicon chip, but the chassis has not been refreshed since 2019.

Apple redesigned the ‌Mac Pro‌ to be more modular in 2019 after failing with its "innovative" trashcan Mac Pro, but the machine has never been mainstream due to its $6,999 starting price.

Apple has largely replaced the ‌Mac Pro‌ with the Mac Studio, a device that is smaller and uses newer Apple silicon chips.

There have been three ‌Mac Pro‌ updates in the last 13 years, so it's not surprising to see the ‌Mac Pro‌ retired.

The ‌Mac Studio‌ offers almost all of the same capabilities as the ‌Mac Pro‌, with the exception of PCIe expansion slots.

Netflix's most expensive Premium plan is $26.99 per month, up from $24.99 per month.

Prices are increasing for both new and existing Netflix subscribers as of March 26.

At $27 per month, Netflix Premium is the most expensive standalone streaming service subscription option.

The standard Netflix plan now costs the same $20/month that Netflix used to charge for the Premium plan back in 2023.

The Premium plan provides 4K HDR streaming on up to four devices, along with spatial audio.

Social network X is now limiting X Pro access to customers who subscribe to the X Premium+ plan, which is priced at $40 per month (or $33/month when paid annually).

X Pro was known as TweetDeck before Elon Musk bought Twitter, and it was free to use.

Before March 26, X subscribers with the standard $8/month Premium plan were able to use X Pro, and now X is requiring a plan that's 5x more expensive.

The X Help center clearly states that access to X Pro is now limited to the Premium+ tier.

Basic still includes ads, Premium has half the number of ads, and Premium+ has no ads except for sponsored content.

Apple today began notifying students who won the WWDC 2026 Swift Student Challenge, held from February 6 to February 28.

Those who win the Swift Student Challenge are eligible to enter Apple's lottery for the ‌WWDC 2026‌ special event that will take place at Apple Park on Monday, June 8.

Some of the Swift Student Challenge entrants will be named Distinguished Winners, and will be invited to Cupertino, California for three-day ‌Apple Park‌ experience.

Swift Student Challenge winners unable to attend the ‌Apple Park‌ event can follow along with Apple's WWDC announcements through the Apple Developer website and the Apple Developer app.

Apple plans to allow third-party AI chatbots to integrate with Siri in iOS 27, reports Bloomberg.

iPhone users will be able to select which services they want to use inside ‌Siri‌ through "Extensions" options coming to ‌iOS 27‌, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27.

AI companies will need to enable support for the new feature in ‌iOS 27‌.

OpenAI will no longer have an exclusive partnership with Apple when the change is made in ‌iOS 27‌.

Apple plans to announce the new ‌Siri‌ and the third-party integration option when it unveils ‌iOS 27‌ at the June 8 WWDC 2026 keynote.

Gurman revealed all of this information in a live Q&A call today on the Bloomberg website, where listeners were invited to ask him anything about Apple.

Over the years, there were rumors about everything from a radically redesigned "Apple Watch X" to a new style of watch band that attaches magnetically, but nothing like that has ever materialized.

And based on Gurman's latest commentary, it sounds like the next Apple Watch will continue to look more or less the same this year.

Of course, the Apple Watch Ultra did usher in an all-new design when it launched in 2022, but that model has only received iterative design changes since.

A redesign is not necessary just for the sake of change, but u…

The new foldable iPhone won't ship to customers in the same September timeframe as the iPhone 18 Pro and ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ Max, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said today in a Q&A session.

Apple will likely ship the iPhone Fold to customers after the ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ and Pro Max come out in September, but Gurman did not provide a specific availability timeline.

Earlier this month, Barclays analyst Tim Long suggested that the foldable iPhone won't ship until December, suggesting a roughly three-month delay between the ‌iPhone Fold‌ and the ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ models.

It is entirely possible Apple will ship the ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ and ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ Max in September and then follow it with the ‌iPhone Fold‌ so…

On a live Q&A call today, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said Apple is planning to release a new full-sized HomePod alongside new HomePod mini and Apple TV models.

Accordingly, new HomePod, HomePod mini, and Apple TV models should be released this year.

Inventory of the Apple TV, HomePod mini, and full-sized HomePod is once again "running low" at Apple's retail stores around the world.

Earlier rumors claimed the next Apple TV would be equipped with the A17 Pro chip, which is the oldest chip that supports Apple Intelligence.

The current Apple TV 4K debuted in October 2022, and the HomePod mini was introduced in October 2020, so both devices are due for upgrades.

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 .

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…

In this tutorial, you’ll learn the basics of app observability, and understand how your app behaves in the hands of your customers.

Integrate Open-Telemetry Framework to your iOS app.

You can learn more about App observability from the App Observability Module.

You’ll create a singleton instance of the class you created OTelSpans and you’ll use the shared instance across the project.

Add this method:public class func createSpan( scopeName: String, name: String ) -> (any Span) { shared.createSpan( scopeName: scopeName, name: name) }

Well, it’s getting model inheritance at least!

Let’s say you have a generic recipe class that you have setup for SwiftData already.

This year at WWDC, SwiftData was updated to allow for model inheritance when constructing your SwiftData types.

This feature is only available in iOS 26 and above, so any uses of this new API have to be annotated with an @available check:@available(iOS 26, *)This unfortunately means that if your minimum target is earlier than iOS 26, you won’t able to use model inheritance – so plan accordingly!

If using model inheritance is important to your program structure, you will need everyone to upgrade to iOS 26 (or above) before using the next version of your app.

In this tutorial you’ll go through some of the scenarios you may encounter when upgrading an iOS App to use Liquid Glass.

Liquid Glass is Apple’s attempt to convey their belief that Hardware and Software should be closely entwined.

Getting Started with Liquid GlassBuilding an app for iOS 26 requires a minimum of Xcode 26 to use.

You learned about how Liquid Glass differs to the minimalist design Apple previously relied on and also how easy it is to adopt Liquid Glass into your app.

To continue learning about Liquid Glass, take a look at the Liquid Glass module in the What’s New in iOS 26 Program.

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.

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 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 против вайбкодингаApple перестала одобрять новые обновления для приложений вроде Replit и Vibecode, которые давали пользователям возможность быстро навайбкодить веб-приложение, и запускать его во встроенном браузере.When platforms like Replit generate an app, they typically display it within the original app using an embedded web view. This is something Apple seems to object to. The company now expects approval if it adjusts its app to open generated apps in an external browser rather than an in-app web view.

SwiftUI Skill от Пола ХадсонаЧто внутри скилла:👉Инструкции по тому, как обходиться с deprecated APIs, и на что их заменять👉Способы оптимизации перфоманса рендеринга👉Инструкции по работе с accessibility👉Куча разных best practices по написанию более компактного и чистого кода

Перфоманс CoreData vs SwiftDataАвтор статьи сравнивает производительность CRUD операций на идентичных приложениях, одно из которых использует CoreData, а другое – SwiftData. Выводы такие:👉На датасетах до 1.000 записей перфоманс примерно одинаковый, заметные отличия начинаются на пороге в 1.000.000 записей.👉Максимальное потребление памяти на больших датасетах у SwiftData в 7 раз выше, а стабильное – в 2.5 раз.👉Время старта замедляется в 8.5 раз.

Q&A с Apple про SwiftUIApple продолжают уходить от режима, в котором они общаются с разработчиками только раз в год на WWDC. Например, сейчас они пробуют новый формат – вебинары с Q&A. Недавно прошел такой вебинар по SwiftUI, и один из участников подбил все 100 вопросов в один пост.

Большое исследование мобильных разработчиковИсторию с проведением ежегодных опросов мобильных разработчиков я начал больше 10 лет назад. Сам я уже перестал этим заниматься, а дело живет – и ребята из DevCrowd запустили новое исследование. И вот в 2026 году его результаты, кажется, будут действительно неожиданными – разработка за последний год поменялась очень сильно, и эта волна, кажется, наконец-то докатилась и до iOS.В опросе будем разбираться с тем, что происходит на рынке по грейдам и зарплатам, выживает ли кроссплатформа, как мобильщики используют AI в работе, куда расти, и как искать работу. Результаты выложим где-то в апреле!👀Посмотреть прошлые исследования👉Пройти опрос

Трекаем потребление токенов в Foundation ModelsВ iOS 26.4 появилась возможность следить за тем, как Foundation Models тратят токены. Это важно с учетом того, что размер контекста у локальных моделей очень маленький, и его наполнение сильно влияет на качество работы AI фич.Вместо статьи можно сразу посмотреть код с примерами на GitHub.

Another post in your feed about the WWDC26 announcement — June 8 to 12.My small wishlist this year:• Stricter swift concurrency by default. Less warnings, more reality.• Liquid Glass everywhere, whether your app wanted it or not. Our designers will be thrilled.• Xcode deprecated. Nature is healing.Let’s see what actually lands.https://developer.apple.com/wwdc26/#Apple #wwdc

Xcode 26.3 is already out, and I only recently stumbled upon an article about a new build flag in Xcode 26: COMPILATION_CACHE_ENABLE_CACHING. In theory it should speed up builds by caching compilation artifacts. Looks simple enough, but the real impact seems very case-dependent.A few observations from different sources:• Helps when switching branches or doing repeated clean builds.https://mjtsai.com/blog/2025/06/13/xcode-26-announced/• Tuist reports that in early Xcode 26 versions not everything is cached yet — parts of SwiftPM and some build graph work still bypass the cache.https://tuist.dev/blog/2025/10/22/xcode-cache• CI results vary a lot. Bitrise points out that the local compilation …

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…

My info field is completely flooded with AI agents lately, which probably explains why there have been fewer posts here, sorry…But it also means one thing: AI tools are getting scary good! We’re no longer at “it writes boilerplate for me.” We’re at “it writes the code, runs it, taps the UI, and checks whether it actually works.”Three tools that make this very real:• AXe — a CLI to control iOS Simulator via accessibility & HID functionality.Tap at specific coordinates. Swipe with precise velocity. Type text. Dump the accessibility tree. Record video. Chain it in scripts.• MotionEyes — analyzes UI motion frame-by-frame.It can detect when pixels start changing and when they stop — so you can a…

Xcode 26.3 ships agentic coding.The AI now has real tools: filesystem access, project config changes, builds, tests, previews. At this rate, Xcode might eventually evolve into a full IDE. (not guaranteed)Thanks to MCP, Xcode can be used as a headless IDE backend: connect it to your agent, stay in the terminal, and let Xcode do the “IDE stuff” for you. Except it currently asks for permission on basically every action, doesn’t allow project-level agent trust, and refuses to render SwiftUI previews unless the editor tab is open. 😥So close. So very Apple.#Xcode #AI

TIL: UIScreenShotServiceDelegate exists since iOS 13. Found it only today. Somehow missed it for years.It lets your app provide a custom Full Page representation — basically a PDF that the system uses when the user chooses that mode. Safari uses it for long pages. Apple Maps uses it to export a clean map, without UI chrome.Feels like one of those UIKit features that quietly shipped and never got attention.

Probably everyone is already tired of reading about Clawdbot. Too many posts, too much noise.But this story is on a different level. Honestly, it reads like a Netflix script.The short version:• Anthropic complained about the Clawdbot name.• The project rushed a rename.• During that window, the account was taken over.• Under the old name, fake tokens were pushed to the market.• Within hours, FOMO kicked in on Solana and the token briefly hit a ~$16M market cap. 🫠Not a bug — pure timing.https://dev.to/sivarampg/from-clawdbot-to-moltbot-how-a-cd-crypto-scammers-and-10-seconds-of-chaos-took-down-the-4eck#security #Clawdbot

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. Might save you a couple of hours (and some sanity).https://clive819.github.io/posts/animatable-auto-sized-to-fit-swiftui-sheet/#SwiftUI #Layout

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
