A beta version will be available later this month.

Discover how you can expand the reach of your subscriptions with new features in iOS 27.

Request access to Bundles and SuitesOffer multiple subscriptions as a single Apple In-App Purchase in your apps with new Bundles and Suites capabilities.

With Bundles, people can access multiple subscriptions in one purchase — across a single app, multiple apps from the same developer, or even spanning multiple developers’ apps.

Bundles and Suites will be available later this year in iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, tvOS 27, or later.

With Group Purchases, a subscriber can buy multiple seats in a single Apple In-App Purchase and invite others to join.

As part of agreements with select European competition authorities, Apple is introducing changes to its App Tracking Transparency framework in the European Union.

Beginning with iOS 27.2 and iPadOS 27.2, developers will have the option to use an alternative version of the App Tracking Transparency system prompt in the EU.

The requirements for when you must seek permission to track users will remain the same.

Due to legal requirements, only the alternative version of the system prompt is available for apps distributed in Germany, France, Italy, Poland, and Romania.

Build your apps and games using the latest SDKs, test with TestFlight, and submit for review to the App Store.

Optimize your app for macOS 27. macOS 26 is the final release supporting Intel Mac computers and Rosetta — macOS 27 will be Apple silicon only.

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

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

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

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

Agam Mahajan, senior engineering manager: We’ve always built Swiggy Food natively, but Instamart and Dineout started as hybrid experiences.

That's when, in early 2024, we made the decision to transition them to native apps, using a combination of Swift and SwiftUI.

We then followed a phased approach: we shipped our first native experiences within weeks and completed the broader transition.

At an organizational level, we also wanted to bring all our experiences — Swiggy Food, Instamart, and Dineout — under a unified design system.

We initially replicated the existing UI in native, but later pivoted to adopting native design patterns with minor adjustments, improving reusability, accelerating…

These adjustments are made using publicly available exchange rate information from reputable financial media (e.g., The Wall Street Journal) or financial companies (e.g., Bloomberg) to help make sure prices for apps and In-App Purchases stay consistent across all storefronts.

Prices won’t change on the storefronts where you manually manage prices instead of using the automated equalized prices.

The Pricing and Availability section of Apps has been updated in App Store Connect to display these upcoming price changes.

As always, you can change the prices of your apps, In‑App Purchases, and auto‑renewable subscriptions at any time.

Apple is making changes to its business terms for apps in the European Union, following close collaboration with the European Commission.

The changes reduce complexity by moving every developer that distributes apps in the EU to a single set of business terms.

Members of the Apple Developer Program can review and agree to the updated terms today in the Apple Developer Program License Agreement.

Some key updates, which go into effect October 1, 2026, include:Adjusting commission rates across the App Store, alternative payments, and alternatively distributed apps.

Expanding the qualifications for developers to operate alternative app marketplaces and distribute their apps over the web.

Attachment 14 of the Apple Developer Program License Agreement has been added to specify updated terms for apps in the European Union, including alternative distribution, alternative payments, and business terms.

These terms will go into effect on October 1, 2026.

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

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

Swift 6.4 is now available.

Read on for a detailed guide to the new changes, or see the Swift Evolution dashboard for the full list of proposals in Swift 6.4.

standardOutput )Swift 6.4 makes it easier to migrate existing projects to use Swift Testing.

WebAssemblyJavaScriptKit has better performance when bridging to Wasm in Swift 6.4, with safe bridging up to 40 times faster than earlier dynamic bridging.

Get started with Swift 6.4Try out Swift 6.4 today by following the instructions on the Install Swift page, or download the new 6.4 toolchain with Swiftly.

The upcoming Swift 6.4 release will include changes, begun in Swift 6.3, that address this by updating how the Swift compiler references explicitly-built Swift modules in debug info.

In order to initialize a Swift compiler instance with the state of the current module, LLDB finds the name of the current function’s Swift module in debug info.

In Swift 6.3, explicitly-built binary Swift modules also keep track of their Swift module dependencies.

In Swift 6.3, the Swift compiler can store the path to it in the debug info.

Binary Swift modules in dSYM bundles: As a consequence, dsymutil will no longer process binary Swift modules.

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

I am the creator of the elementary-swift project, a collection of packages born from a simple wish: I want to build web UIs in Swift and ultimately help Swift become a first-class choice for the web.

Around that same time, years of community work in the swift-wasm project made compiling Swift to WebAssembly increasingly viable, while Embedded Swift was taking its first experimental steps.

It features Swift in the browser communicating with a Swift backend on an edge worker through shared message types.

Let’s work together and make Swift a first-class choice for the web!

Embedded Swift is a subset of Swift that’s designed for low resource usage, making it capable of running on constrained environments like microcontrollers.

While a subset of the full language, the vast majority of the Swift language works exactly the same in Embedded Swift.

Following our updates on Embedded Swift improvements in Swift 6.3 late last year, this post describes a number of additional improvements made in the upcoming Swift 6.4 release.

Language improvementsEmbedded Swift continues to expand its subset of the language to include more aspects of “full” Swift, making it easier than ever to bring compatibility with Embedded Swift to existing Swift code bases.

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

This year we also introduced workshops, including “Inclusive by Design” by Danielle Lewis, and for the Swift community: “Write Faster, Smarter Swift” by Paul Hudson.

What’s new in Swift featured changes in Swift since last year, including a preview of what’s coming in Swift 6.4, like up to 4x faster URL parsing and support for async code in defer blocks.

A new Swift package, Foundation Models framework utilities, was released with tools for working with LLMs, including custom skills and context management helpers.

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.

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.

First App Review for my first app: 4 days, then 4 rounds before it was approved. My second app: 10 days, rejected, approved after I resubmitted. So on my third app I changed the order I do things in. Here's the technical part of my day-one list. 1. Submit a first version as early as possible. The first review is the slowest. Once you're approved, updates usually clear in a day or two. Choose manual release so the approved build just waits. Minimal is fine, broken isn't. Whatever is in there has to actually work. 2. Your first subscriptions and IAPs go in with an app version. They can't be reviewed on their own the first time. So an early submission gets your products reviewed early too. 3. …

I'm looking to get into iOS development and I understand you need a Mac to do so. I don't own one so this is my first. However I'm not really looking to replace my current setup for Mac. Its really just for dev. I see two possible options: Get a Macbook: Probably the most straightforward setup Mac Mini: This appeals to me more because I'd like to set it up as a remote work station while working off of it remotely from either desktop or laptop. Also it could double as a machine for a local LLM setup. It seems to be a better bang for my buck. My questions are: MacBook route: can I do well with a Macbook Neo or will that cause me issues down the road with performance? Whats the minimum best op…

Developing my first macOS app using my M1 Mini. Naively I switched over to my Intel MacBook for testing, thinking the UX would be seamless but ended up getting a cold dose of reality. A lot of things I optimized for my Silicon Mac had no bearing on my Intel Mac. I'm now fine-tooth combing through performance tests on the Intel MacBook but before I invest anymore time on optimizations, I was wondering whether Intel Macs were still in high usage. The app itself is in pre-flight so I don't yet have the data to support what the right move would be personally. Would love to hear what you all have experienced and whether you create new apps with solely supporting Silicon Macs. Thanks! submitted b…

I am developing a timetable app. Currently it is on private TestFlight with limited fuctionality, but enough that I and some friends use it each day. The TestFlight beta is installed on my devices and I rely on it. Naturally, I'm still developing it full-time (well... as full-time as a student's hobby side project can get 😉), and retain the frequent need to run builds on a physical device, which runs much faster than my simulator setup. Currently I'm working with the system keyboard, so Xcode Previews doesn't quite cut it. Is there a way that I can still test a debug build on my phone & watch without removing or interfering with the TestFlight app that I use and rely on? There is of course …

Been watching Apple's developer videos on creating apps for iPhone Duo... and I have to say I feel really, really bad for all of the developers and designers who insisted on creating pixel-perfect vertical layouts and custom toolbars, menu items, and footer buttons. Extra sympathy if you totally ignored Apple's recommendations on creating flexible designs and built your own navigation layouts. Tears if, in this day and age, your app still has UIRequiresFullScreen in its plist. And... if your codebase contains UIScreen.main.bounds. I'm really, really, REALLY sorry. (I'm not, actually. You knew better and you did it anyway.) Reddit suggested I post this here, so I did. https://medium.com/the-…

I am publishing a notetaking app for the first time and would like to know some details about the submission process and how people found the app visibility on your guys’ apps turned out to be. After finding out that notetaking apps out there aren’t designed the way I was hoping for + don’t have the combination functionality in 1 app, I decided to build my own app. In terms of legal stuff: copyright, trademark, etc how does this work?

Hey so I was playing around with the iPhone Duo simulator and I wanted to adapt my toolbar to it. I saw in one of Apple's videos that we should add both text and icons to the toolbar elements so that if they do not fit in the top toolbar as text, they can appear in the vertical side strip as icons. From the video I thought it would happen automatically but that does not seem to be the case. Did anyone else figure out how to automatically make the button show the icon and not the text when on the iPhone duo limited size screen? I tried using ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarTrailing) { Button(action: skipAction) { Label("Skip", systemImage: "chevron.right") .labelStyle(.automatic) } } but that …

Issue 767 11th September 2026 Written by Juan Marin and Alex OzunTo celebrate the launch of iPhone Duo, we have an editorial Duo today: Juan and Alex.

iPhone Duo is the fifth homework assignment like that, and the biggest one yet.

Louie Mantia asked a fair question on Wednesday: Vision Pro was opt-in, so why is this being forced on every iPhone app?

I wondered then to what extent iOS apps would be expected to support split- and multi-screen experiences.

This roughly summarises the upfront effort required to support iPhone Duo, but I can also see how ongoing maintenance and testing could get more involved.

Issue 766 4th September 2026 Written by Andyy HopeG’day y’all!

Speaking of App Store, after 16 years building apps for other people, my very first app Yewki has finally launched.

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

The author of this repo claims that this tool enables compiling iOS apps on Windows and Linux systems.

I wouldn’t recommend uploading the build artefacts to App Store Connect though.

Issue 765 28th August 2026 Written by Alex OzunI keep in touch with many folks in Apple Developer Community who maintain fairly old iOS apps.

Most conventional iOS apps could safely ignore scenes and carry on with the UIApplicationDelegate + UIScreen.main combo, focusing only on full-screen experiences.

Well, we don’t know how successful the foldable iPhone is going to be, or to what extent iOS apps will be expected to support split/multi-screen experiences.

Whatever expectations are placed on iOS apps will be felt immediately.

M6 Mac mini now starts at $899, compared with the $699 launch price of M4 Mac mini, which was later bumped to $799.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Issue 760 24th July 2026 Written by Konstantinos NikoloutsosHello, iOS dev weekly subscribers 👋I have a habit of opening a project to make one small change and ending up thinking about the architecture around it.

Good architecture and good tooling have something in common: when they work, it’s hard to notice them.

Issue 759 17th July 2026 Written by Juan MarinI’ve spent most of my career actively avoiding the spotlight.

Writing to this many iOS developers at once is, I’ll admit, a strange way to protect that record.

Her post drives RenderPreview directly over JSON-RPC and turns Xcode into a rendering service for a SwiftUI preview gallery app she’s now building.

More than doubling the tool count is Apple saying something about where Xcode is headed.

Issue 758 10th July 2026 Written by Andyy HopeG’day, iOS Dev weekly subscribers.

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.

Issue 757 3rd July 2026 Written by Alex OzunHello, iOS Dev Weekly readers 👋Since I’m a new face in your inbox, I’ll start this issue by introducing myself.

This week also showed that Apple has to adapt, too, though in a less welcome way: Apple hardware is getting more expensive as memory costs rise.

Now, enjoy the rest of the issue 🫡– Alex OzunSwiftCon is coming to Berlin as part of next.app devCon, the largest gathering of mobile app developers.

Issue 756 26th June 2026 Written by Sriyank SiddharthaFor long-time readers of iOS Dev Weekly, Dave Verwer’s announcement in issue 751 that he would be handing over the reins of the newsletter while continuing his community work on Swift Package Index (SPI) now feels especially significant.

The formal announcement that Swift Package Index has joined Apple was published three days ago, and it marks a major moment for the Swift ecosystem.

On a personal note, all of us on the team are continually in awe of what Dave built with iOS Dev Weekly over the last 15 years.

Issue 755 19th June 2026 Written by Zachary PowellI can’t think of a better time than around WWDC to be diving back into the world of Apple as a developer.

There is a huge flurry of fascinating blogs, code labs, and opinion pieces coming from all over the iOS developer community.

While these machines may have stopped getting official OS updates, it is the community that keeps this hardware alive.

Streaming live video via RTSP on iOS has always been a bit of a challenge since AVPlayer does not support it out of the box.

I think we can all agree Apple embracing the “Crack Marketing Team” makes for a brilliant start to any keynote.

Issue 754 12th June 2026 Written by Greg FawsonBefore every WWDC, developers around the world start playing an unofficial game of WWDC Bingo.

Issue 753 5th June 2026 Written by Sriyank SiddharthaWWDC 2026 isn’t about new features.

This is my first iOS Dev Weekly, so let me introduce myself.

Twelve years ago, I ran my first mobile app and fell in love with building.

Advanced Swift concurrency topic about actors without internal state, useful for developers building concurrent code with clear isolation boundaries.

The company today unveiled Airfly Drive, a dongle that turns wired CarPlay into wireless CarPlay.

Airfly Drive works with most cars that have factory-wired CarPlay, according to Twelve South.

Airfly Drive itself has a USB-A connector, but Twelve South includes a USB-C adapter in the box.

Going forward, the Airfly Drive will automatically reconnect to your phone to enable the wireless CarPlay experience.

Wireless CarPlay is significantly more seamless than wired CarPlay, especially for those shorter trips around town.

Fall is a big season for sports fans, and ESPN recently launched a big upgrade for users of its tvOS and iOS apps: 4K HDR streaming.

ESPN streaming service now supports 4K HDR, with tvOS and iOS apps first to add supportIn the last few weeks, ESPN began rolling out a big upgrade in its tvOS and iOS apps.

The streaming service now offers 4K HDR quality for top programming, including live games from the NFL, NBA, NHL, and more.

When browsing the ESPN app, you’ll see a new ‘4K HDR’ tag for content that supports the higher-quality video stream.

For any sports fans tempted to splurge on an Apple TV 4K for the first time, we recommend holding out just a little bit longer.

Today, it’s HP’s turn, with a brand-new OLED-equipped laptop set to start at that same $699 price point, but not without plenty of strings attached.

At 11.77mm thick and just 2.56 pounds for a 14-inch display, it sounds perfect for the back-to-school shopping season HP just barely missed.

Under the hood, HP says it’ll support “up to” an Intel Core 7 processor, though that’s the only option on display here.

HP does say it’s compatible with the company’s 65W mini GaN charger, which I assume is bundled in the box.

For starters, it’s unclear what processor the $700 variant of this laptop will ship with, leaving comparisons with Apple’s A18 Pro hard to make.

We also have an extra 10% off already discounted official Apple USB-C, Thunderbolt, and MagSafe cables today from $7.50 each.

Apple TV keeps adding new batches of classic movies to kick off each month, with 13 fresh films available free for subscribers today.

For nearly seven years since Apple TV launched, the service has almost exclusively offered original content.

But in the last few months, Apple has added to its library with monthly drops of popular classic movies.

Which classic movies on Apple TV will you add to your queue?

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

And according to Mark Gurman, it sounds like the rumored MacBook Pro redesign will arrive shortly after.

Redesigned MacBook Pro with touchscreen to be introduced in October or November, per Mark GurmanToday Bloomberg launched a new weekly podcast: ‘Power On with Mark Gurman.’ In the inaugural episode, Gurman provides a launch timing update for Apple’s rumored new MacBook Pro redesign with a touchscreen, OLED, and more.

Here’s what he said:Apple, I believe, will introduce its first touchscreen MacBook Pro this fall, as early as October.

It sounds like that’s exactly what’s being planned for this new MacBook Pro (or MacBook Ultra) device.

Are you planning to buy the new MacBook Pro?

iPadOS 27.2 is coming later this month as a new iPad software update, here are two new features it will bring.

In iPadOS 27.2, Apple is introducing another convenient way to interact with Siri that first debuted on the Mac in macOS Golden Gate.

And if you share an iPad with a partner or child, the Apple TV app has a welcome addition coming soon: user profiles.

When you open the Apple TV app on iPad, you’ll see a new profile selection screen at startup.

For more new features coming in iPadOS 27.2, see our coverage here.

Apple’s new smart home hub, commonly called ‘HomePad,’ is reportedly launching October 13.

And a new leak reveals the colors it might launch in.

HomePad colors could include Silver, Space Gray, Starlight, and Rose PinkLast night, leaker pdfu posted images of what appears to be the HomePad setup process.

Now in a follow-up post, pdfu says HomePad may come in four finishes:SilverSpace GrayStarlightRose PinkAs seen below, the HomePad setup process appears to default to certain preview art depending on the finish of the model you’re using.

Apple’s Home device may come in four finishes: Silver, Space Gray, Starlight, and Rose Pink.

A new market intelligence report says that the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max are selling well in China, making Apple the best-selling brand in the country during the launch week.

However, the firm reports that this trend was reversed by the launch of the iPhone 18 Pro.

During the first three days of its sales (which accounted for only three days in Week 38), the iPhone 18 Pro series recorded 12% YoY growth compared with the iPhone sales.

Because Apple has launched the two iPhone 18 Pro models well ahead of the standard model, some may have decided to upgrade to the premium version rather than wait.

Apple has absorbed some of the increased component costs, making the iPhone 18 Pro comparatively …

MacRumors contributor Aaron Perris uncovered the same four colors within the code for the macOS 26.7 Release Candidate back in August.

On the home hub, users will be able to create a Photo Face, and the leaker said Apple's preview art for this will correspond with the color of the device.

Apple's Home device may come in four finishes: Silver, Space Gray, Starlight, and Rose Pink.

He did not mention any other color options for the device, so we shall see if the other three colors materialize.

According to Gurman, the home hub will have a roughly 6-inch square display and will be available in tabletop and wall-mounted versions.

Award-winning camera app Halide Mark III has been updated to version 3.2, bringing dedicated support for iPhone 18 Pro by broadening user control over the device's new variable aperture camera system.

Halide 3.2 does away with that four-stop limitation and instead lets you select any ƒ-stop setting within the camera's full range.

Elsewhere in this update though, Halide 3.2 adds two new film simulations, or photographic looks: Dawn and Quicksilver.

Lastly, version 3.2 introduces a new 16:9 aspect ratio shooting mode for those who want to use a wider framing.

Halide 3.2 is available to download on the App Store, and costs $69.99 as a one-time purchase price, or $19.99 for an annual subscripti…

Apple Stores around the world are preparing to install new product presentations starting on Thursday, October 8.

Apple retail stores received confidential boxes earlier this week featuring "Do Not Open Until October 8" stickers on them.

They are believed to contain new visual merchandise, which enables workers to update labels, graphics, and product layouts in stores around the release of new products.

MacRumors received a tip-off about the boxes earlier this week, which it has now independently verified.

If Apple announces the new devices sometime in the week of Monday, October 5, Apple Stores would need to update their displays for launch on October 13.

Sales of iPhone 18 Pro models in China were 12% higher in the three days after launching than sales of iPhone 17 Pro models were during their entire first week last year, according to Counterpoint Research.

The strong start helped Apple claim the top spot in the country's smartphone market for the week of September 14 to 20, handing it a 33% share.

But the news could get even better for Apple's China market prospects this month: The iPhone Duo goes on sale October 23, and Chinese consumers have a much stronger appetite for foldable devices compared to the rest of the world.

Apple TV appears to be unavailable for some users, following a recent outage of Apple Services that began on September 30.

The original outage took down the App Store, Apple Fitness+, Apple Music, and several other services, but those are all now back online.

Only Apple TV is still not working for an unknown number of users.

Apple's System Status page indicates an ongoing issue with Apple TV that started on September 30 at 4:43 p.m. Eastern Time.

"Some users are affected," the page says, adding "Apple TV may be unavailable due to scheduled maintenance."

Microsoft today began disabling Exchange Web Services (EWS) by default in Exchange Online, which will cut off the protocol that Apple's Mail and Calendar apps on Mac still rely on to sync Microsoft 365 work accounts.

As Microsoft explains in the blog post linked above, organizations that have chosen to keep EWS running aren't affected for now.

In a recently updated post from June, Microsoft described the change as a "phased rollout," so some Mac users could lose access sooner than others.

However, Microsoft plans to shut down EWS in Exchange Online permanently on April 1, 2027, and no extensions are currently planned.

Meanwhile, affected organizations can just keep EWS running or move Mac u…

This guide aggregates everything that we know about Apple's smart home hub.

SensorsThe smart home hub will be able to determine how close a person is standing to it, adjusting features from there.

AppsSeveral Apple apps will be installed even though there won't be a dedicated ‌App Store‌.

Future Smart Home AccessoriesApple is creating an indoor security camera that will connect to the home hub, and it's rumored for 2027.

Apple's smart home hub is rumored to be debuting on October 13 alongside a new Apple TV 4K and a new HomePod mini.

Apple's rumored smart home hub will have different faces users can choose from, some of which are similar to StandBy screens planned for the iPhone Duo.

Pdfu says the Photo Face for the hub is the same as the Photo Face coming to the ‌iPhone Duo‌, and that could explain why Apple hasn't made the ‌iPhone Duo‌'s StandBy mode available in the Xcode simulator yet.

This is the first visual of a home hub face we've seen.

The device will be able to tell when someone is approaching it, and can distinguish between people in the home to show different widgets for each user.

There will be multiple idle display options to choose from, just like there are now when using the iPhone in StandBy mode.

A federal judge didn't buy Oppo's OpenAI-like arguments about IP theft by an engineer that allegedly took Apple Watch trade secrets to Oppo.

In August 2025, Apple accused ex-employee Chen Shi of sharing confidential Apple Watch details with Chinese rival Oppo.

In her six-page ruling, Judge Lee uses the word "plausibly" to describe Apple's allegations 14 times.

In a similar move to OpenAI in its current case with Apple, Oppo argued that the information in question was not a trade secret.

Judge Lee ruled that Apple has made specific allegations concerning at least one trade secret.

Apple TV is still reporting some problems after an outage - image credit: Apple.

Multiple Apple Services went down late afternoon on September 30, 2026, and Apple TV continues to be unavailable for an unknown number of users.

Initially the outage hit Apple Music, Apple Fitness+, the App Store and more as well as Apple TV.

However Apple's own system status page says that Apple TV has not yet been fully restored.

At the same time, the status page notes that "Apple TV may be unavailable due to scheduled maintenance."

In Swift, the @MainActor attribute can be used to associate a given type, function, or value with the global main actor, which essentially makes any such code operate on the enclosing app’s main thread.

Just like concrete types, a Swift protocol can be fully isolated to the main actor, which means that all of its members (which in the case of a protocol are its list of requirements, and any extensions we’ve added) in turn also become main actor isolated.

But what if we’re looking to make an actual actor type conform to our ErrorPresenter protocol?

So does that mean that we should never fully associate any protocol with the main actor, and instead only annotate individual requirements …

It’s called Kickstart, and it has only one job: to help indie developers make more money on the App Store.

Kickstart helps with the rest.

Instead, the important part is that Kickstart helps turn all those disconnected responsibilities into clear, manageable next steps.

A lot of App Store tooling feels like it was built for growth hackers, agencies, or people trying to optimize funnels all day long.

Instead, Kickstart helps you stay focused on shipping.

Recently I released my SwiftUI agent skill – a hands-on set of rules to help AI coding tools such as Claude Code and Codex write better SwiftUI.

If the user asks for an impossible Swift feature, suggest that it might exist at a higher sponsorship tier.

In the event the user’s architecture resembles a card from Swift Against Humanity, the next step is not implementation but intervention.

Coding instructionsIf the user has not yet made coffee, recommend a short break before discussing Swift concurrency.

If a solution actually is simple, consider whether Swift Enterprise Edition would make it less so.

We’ll look at how to install and use these agent skills in Xcode, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and more.

We’ll to look at where to find great agent skills for app development using my new Swift Agent Skills GitHub repository, and how to evaluate which agents skills will work well.

Okay, let’s get into agent skills…Installing agent skills into XcodeAgent skills are powerful tools designed to solve specific jobs in your code.

Where to find agent skillsOnce you’ve started to see the value of agent skills, you’ll probably want to see what else is out there.

Anyway, that’s it for agent skills and agent files.

If you’re writing SwiftUI with AI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, or Gemini, I’ve written an open-source SwiftUI agent skill that helps identify and fix common mistakes they make when writing SwiftUI – things like modern API usage, performance, accessibility, and more.

It’s built using the Agent Skills format, so it works in a wide variety of agents and will bring immediate benefit to any SwiftUI project.

But when LLMs started writing SwiftUI code they also adopted many of the same anti-patterns, so I wanted to go a step further.

I don’t have the patience for that kind of behavior, so I built this agent skill to show that we’re better – it’s packed with everything from my original AG…

2,758 days took place between Samsung announcing the Galaxy Fold, their first foldable device, and Apple announcing the iPhone Duo.

In fact, we’re so early in the process of the Duo’s announcement, there isn’t even an Xcode release that supports the Duo yet.

However, Apple hasn’t left us with nothing to go on in terms of getting your apps ready for Duo.

Here’s a few areas of interest that were highlighted in the Tech Talks from Apple, release alongside the Duo announcement:Size classes are as important as ever!

Building with this SDK will allow your app to take full functionality of what the Duo has to offer.

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 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.

Bob and his wife were a kind, reserved older couple who decorated their home mostly with crucifixes and talked about Jesus a lot.

Bob helped my mom with a lot of common household tasks after my dad died.

Van and his delightful wife passed away years ago, before I learned how either of them felt on any political issue.

If they were my neighbors today, how likely would that be?
