The Wreck is filed under games, but it’s also been called a visual novel, an interactive experience, and a playable movie.

Maurin is the co-writer, designer, and producer of The Wreck — and here we’ll let you decide what to call it.

Later I read that the brain parses through old memories to find relevant knowledge for facing that kind of situation.

And what immediately came to mind was a game.”Junon's interactions with the hospital staff drive the narrative in The Wreck.

Successive viewings of these memories can reveal new details or cast doubt on their legitimacy — something Maurin wrote from experience.

The App Review Guidelines have been updated for compliance with a United States court decision regarding buttons, external links, and other calls to action in apps.

The Ubisoft team is preparing the release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, the 14th main entry in the series and an evolution for the franchise in nearly every detail.

It’s set in feudal 16th-century Japan, a rich and elegant period that’s been long sought-after by fans and Ubisoft team members alike.

Pre-order Assassin's Creed Shadows from the Mac App StoreCôté calls Shadows his team’s “most ambitious” game.

Much of Naoe’s advantage comes from her ability to linger in the game’s shadows — not just behind big buildings, but wherever the scene creates a space for her to hide.

You can now take advantage of upgraded security options when creating new token authentication keys for the Apple Push Notification service (APNs).

Team-scoped keys enable you to restrict your token authentication keys to either development or production environments, providing an additional layer of security and ensuring that keys are used only in their intended environments.

Your existing keys will continue to work for all push topics and environments.

At this time, you don’t have to update your keys unless you want to take advantage of the new capabilities.

For detailed instructions on how to secure your communications with APNs, read Establishing a token-based connection to APNs.

Swift at Apple: migrating the Password Monitoring service from Java June 2, 2025Swift is heavily used in production for building cloud services at Apple, with incredible results.

Last year, the Password Monitoring service was rewritten in Swift, handling multiple billions of requests per day from devices all over the world.

A detailed discussion of how this is done using the cryptographic private set intersection protocol is in the Password Monitoring section of the Apple Platform Security guide.

The migration from Java to Swift was motivated by a need to scale the Password Monitoring service in a performant way.

The Password Monitoring service runs globally, so service load can greatly flu…

This extends to our server back end, and after a rewrite our Things Cloud service has transitioned entirely to Swift.

Things Cloud serves as the backbone of the app’s experience, silently synchronizing to-dos across devices.

After twelve years in production, Things Cloud has earned our users’ trust in its reliability.

Switching to SwiftOur legacy Things Cloud service was built on Python 2 and Google App Engine.

A full rewrite is usually a last resort, but in our case, it was the only viable path for Things Cloud.

Introducing gRPC Swift 2 February 14, 2025Say hello to gRPC Swift 2: a major update that brings first-class concurrency support and more expressive APIs for a seamless developer experience.

And the new gRPC Swift 2 offers an idiomatic, cross-platform, performant and feature-rich library for building highly-scalable services.

When gRPC Swift was first developed back in 2018, Swift had not yet introduced concurrency features like async/await, so it was instead based on SwiftNIO’s event-driven concurrency model.

For developers unfamiliar with these concepts, the prior version of gRPC Swift presented a steep learning curve.

Next StepsTo get started with gRPC Swift 2 check out the tutorials and …

Updating the Visual Studio Code extension for Swift February 10, 2025Today, we are excited to announce a new version of the Swift extension for Visual Studio Code – now published to the extension marketplace as an official supported release of the Swift team.

The aim of this extension is to provide a high-quality, feature-complete extension that makes developing Swift applications on all platforms a seamless experience.

As we continue to invest in Swift as a first-class language for cross-platform development, both Apple and the broader developer community are rapidly iterating on the VS Code extension to expand its capabilities for server and cloud, embedded, and Linux and Windows app deve…

As a foundational step in this new chapter of Swift build technologies, today Apple is open sourcing Swift Build, a powerful and extensible build engine that provides a set of build rules for building Swift projects.

Swift Build is an infrastructural component designed to plan and execute builds requested by a higher-level client like Swift Package Manager or Xcode.

As a small first step towards this vision, today the team is submitting a pull request to begin the process of integrating support for Swift Build in SwiftPM as an alternate build engine.

An invitation to participateWe look forward to working with the community to continue evolving how we build Swift code.

Introducing Oblivious HTTP support in Swift August 21, 2024We’re excited to introduce an implementation of provisional support for Oblivious HTTP to the Swift ecosystem, with the availability of a new package called SwiftNIO Oblivious HTTP.

Oblivious HTTP helps ensure that personally identifiable data about the requesting source is never available to the device processing the request.

Hey everyone, I've been trying to determine if this is possible to do anymore. In the past, we have built iPad apps for clients at various conferences, and have used ad hoc deployment to send it directly to their devices. We've also included analytics (usually an XML file) that we could pull directly off the device in iTunes. However, it seems that this isn't possible anymore? Having done some research, it seems that you can add the ApplicationSupportsItuneFileSharing to the info list, but that still does not show the app in the File sharing of iTunes (or in Finder on a mac for that matter). From what I understand, this has to be added to the info.plist, but when we ad hoc build it only cre…

Hi! I’ve built an app using SwiftData (I know, I know…) And it’s a fairly complicated app. Relationships, predicates, the lot. I initially enabled cloudkit sync with a container. I saw some oddities where sometimes when reinstalling dev builds or switching from a dev build to a testflight build it duplicated the entire local database. Obviously not good… I ended up disable CloudKit sync and now i’m several versions ahead I would really love to get some sort of sync/backend going here. I’m torn between rewriting everything to something like GRDB or FireBase vs just enabling cloudkit sync or some other solution. Does anyone have any suggestions? If i’m rewriting all the data layer, has anyone…

I'm halfway through my project, and previews just wouldn't work now due to small change in my schema. Almost thinking of changing my database at this point. If only I didn't need cloudkit sync, I wouldn't have gone with it in the first place. I know this is very small context, but any tips, suggestions or resources that can help me? Also, is there any way to clear the container on a xcode previews? I'm a rookie dev! submitted by /u/MokshaBaba [link] [comments]

The title is not advice or a recommendation, it's just my curiosity. With Swift's ARC, the shift toward value types (structs, enums), the large memory available in modern iPhone models, I'm curious about how often Swift devs use autoreleasepool.

Hi everyone, I’m an iOS developer building my own apps as a side hustle. As a user, I have a hypothesis: subscription-based services might be overused. Personally, I feel more comfortable with reasonably priced one-time lifetime purchases. That said, I don’t have any data to support this. Has anyone here tested or compared annual or monthly plans versus a lifetime purchase option in their app’s paywall? I’d love to hear what you’ve learned in terms of revenue, retention, or user satisfaction. I’m also curious about the impact of free trials. Have you seen a noticeable difference in MRR or user acquisition between offering a free trial and not offering one? Would appreciate any insights or d…

I currently own an app on the AppStore that I acquired 2 years ago from two coders that created it but they didn’t know how to market or handle the business side. I’ve had a buddy sustain the app and keep things running, along with adjusting some back end processes. I’ve grown the business but it now needs features to keep up with competitors. This is my first time hiring an official programmer, it would be a part time position, but could be good experience for an up and coming programmer that needs experience. Any advice on the following would be huge: what to look for in the interview process to provide credibility they can do the work where to find candidates (upwork?) and then what are …

Hey everyone, I've been trying to vibe code my way through a new feature I am adding to my app which let's users record themselves with a background blur (similar to Google Meet/ Zoom). Since I was letting AI do the heavy lifting I got stuck with a code that is super long and complicated and had to break it down to multiple files to later find it used the wrong approach for this entire feature. The AI tried using CIImage to apply the blur effect which caused major slowness when the blur was active. The segmentation, buffering and practically everything else seemed to be working fine besides the actual blur itself which caused the recording to be very laggy. After being stuck with this issue…

Before I wrap this up, just a quick note to say that there will be no iOS Dev Weekly for the next two weeks.

– Tamera MiddlebrooksI would argue the greatest barrier of entry for native iOS app development at this stage is the cost of a Mac.

Personally, when I first started my app development journey, I bought an old refurbished M2 Mac Mini.

Issue 711 9th May 2025 Written by Dave VerwerIn exactly one month, Apple will unveil what they’ve been working on for the past year.

The main community attractions, CommunityKit and One More Thing, have both recently posted their schedules, which is great to see.

It’s likely that Apple is experimenting with this (as I hoped), but I’d always urge against getting your hopes too high.

Regardless, I enjoyed Manu’s latest article that tries to keep your sheet presentation code nice and clean.

👍And finally...As an alternative to this, you could just put your phone in your pocket for a bit… 😮‍💨

Issue 710 2nd May 2025 Written by Dave VerwerWas there any news yesterday?

I’m sure you’ve read every hot take over the past 24 hours and I have very little² to add about the news itself.

What I’m sure of, though, is that this decision will trigger a more significant change to the App Store.

Apple built its App Store business around its current business model, and if developers can bypass it without much jumping through hoops, Apple will likely make changes.

We should want the App Store to be successful for Apple as well as for ourselves.

Issue 709 25th April 2025 Written by Dave VerwerI knew I’d enjoy Collin Donnell’s recent post, “Loving SwiftUI, missing UIKit” from the title, and I did.

After the Swift announcement, I wondered what the cost of the new language to iOS and other Apple platform development would be.

I’ve linked to Kishikawa Katsumi’s Swift Regex project before, but it gets another mention this week as he added a regex debugger to it!

This is a well-written, step-by-step look at all the different issues making this situation compatible with Swift 6 language mode.

VideosI missed these videos from the wonderful iOS Conf SG conference that took place a few months ago.

Issue 708 18th April 2025 Written by Dave VerwerEvery time I read my RSS feeds and see an article about top App Store earnings, a little part of me dies.

I know it’s not the worst problem in the world right now, but it’s not great how the App Store turned out all these years after it debuted.

That said, it’s not the entire App Store and it reminds me to be grateful for all of you who are creating useful and worthwhile software that doesn’t exploit people’s addictive tendencies.

This article from Donny Wals has some great, practical tips on using Instruments with SwiftUI.

This is a great article.

Issue 707 11th April 2025 Written by Dave VerwerThis week, there wasn’t much to write about in Apple platform or Swift development, but I noticed an interesting article celebrating 20 years of Git from GitHub founder Scott Chacon.

The standard was Subversion and the competitors were Git, Bazaar, and Mercurial.

Bazaar started on the 26th March 2005, Git was 12 days later on the 7th April, and Mercurial started exactly 12 days after that on the 19th April.

So, I spent time converting all my repositories from Subversion to Bazaar, thinking I could ignore Git.

Bazaar was under active development for 11 years and Mercurial is still under active development today, but Git was the clear winner.

Issue 706 4th April 2025 Written by Dave VerwerRecently, there’s been a lot of talk about Apple and AI.

People are wondering where Swift Assist is and speculating endlessly on what caused the next generation Siri product to be delayed into 2026.

However, I have thoughts on Predictive Code Completion and Swift Assist in Xcode.

When I first wrote about Xcode’s Predictive Code Completion, I was complimentary about it.

I can’t wait to see what Apple delivers with Swift Assist and how they continue to improve Predictive Code Completion.

Issue 705 28th March 2025 Written by Dave VerwerIt’s that time of year again!

🎉If you apply and get a ticket, don’t forget WWDC week has grown back to being much more than just Apple’s event.

First up, a new event, CommunityKit, which looks like it’s a successor to the highly popular WWDC Community events that have been running since the early days of WWDC going remote.

In the past, the WWDC community website also covered worldwide events like keynote watch parties and community get-togethers.

He argues that as the time needed to create apps decreases, the process and time taken with everything after building the app looks more daunting.

Issue 704 21st March 2025 Written by Dave VerwerI received a suggestion earlier this week from Kyle Bashour to check out his latest package, AestheticText.

But it also set me thinking about how I think about choosing a package that includes a UI component.

I don’t take quite that position, but I certainly spend more time considering whether to use a UI component than something without those imports.

Tornike Gomareli has written up this useful article on getting it working with Swift using xcode-build-server and LSP.

Issue 701 28th February 2025 Written by Dave VerwerSometimes coming up with an opening comment for this newsletter that’s worth reading can feel like I’m struggling through the day with a fever.

This week I was faced with actually writing one with a fever of 40ºC (104°F) which I’ve had since Monday.

Most of the official Apple blogs and news sites support it and you can find links to the feeds for all of them, and many more, on the iOS Dev Directory.

Issue 700 21st February 2025 Written by Dave VerwerHow did we reach Issue 700 of this newsletter?

❤️There’s also some “newsletter news” this week, especially if you like dark mode.

As you will have noticed if you’re reading on the web, the iOS Dev Weekly website now supports a dark theme.

If you’re reading in an email client, I also tweaked the email template to look better in email clients that force a dark mode.

Unfortunately, making a true dark mode email is looking like it’s beyond my abilities, but hopefully the web version should give you what you need.

While most of those are proactive and reactive in detecting or preventing threats, Scam Guard is something different and rather genius.

“Scam Guard is unique in that it’s backed by Malwarebytes’ extensive threat research knowledge base, making it both effective and efficient,” says Malwarebytes.

It’s easy to tell when it doesn’t recognize something; Scam Guard will alter its language to reflect a level of confidence.

In my testing, Scam Guard correctly identified nearly every spam and scam message I threw at it, both emails and texts.

Scam Guard is available for free and paid Malwarebytes Mobile Security users on iOS and Android.

But we did get a glimpse of a potential Apple Intelligence future in the form of a ChatGPT-powered demo earlier this week.

This is the type of functionality we can expect from Apple Intelligence once it’s fully functional.

There are new features coming to CarPlay too, powered by the latest iOS 26 update.

#1: Brand new designIf you’ve been keeping up with iOS 26 rumors, you probably know that a major software redesign is coming.

In iOS 26, CarPlay will expand this feature with a new recognized sound: crying babies.

The new CarPlay Ultra actually proved to be good news for standard CarPlay users, since it wasn’t a replacement for CarPlay but rather a separate, premium tier of features.

Apple’s WWDC 2025 keynote is just days away, but if you were hoping to see Google’s Gemini officially join the Apple Intelligence party, Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman just shared some bad news.

Since Google’s default search deal with Apple is already a key focus of the DOJ’s case, adding another high-profile partnership would only invite more scrutiny.

Apple has no current plan to announce such integration at WWDC (there likely won’t be any public movement on this front until the US Justice Department makes its ruling on Google’s search deal with Apple).

So while the company is expected to open its in-house foundation models to developers and expand Apple Intelligence to features like systemwide …

WWDC is almost here, and along with it the full reveal of what Apple’s been preparing for iOS 26, its next major iPhone update.

Per a new report today, the Messages app in iOS 26 is set to gain two new features inspired by WhatsApp.

iOS 26 will reportedly add background images and polls to Messages appToday in Mark Gurman’s big WWDC preview, he outlined Messages app changes coming in iOS 26.

As for polls, 9to5Mac exclusively reported earlier this week on polls being added to Messages in iOS 26.

What do you think about these new Messages features expected in iOS 26?

Here’s what he had to say about iPadOS 26 changes coming, including a major multitasking revamp, new Preview app, and more.

There is one big new feature revealed for iPadOS and iOS 26 though: a Preview app is coming.

9to5Mac sources corroborate the addition of the Preview app and more advanced file management features coming in iPadOS 26.

I’m excited to see what Apple has in store for us, and hope this time it can get iPadOS multitasking just right.

What are you expecting from iPadOS 26 multitasking?

In particular, the report sheds new light on the major redesign coming as part of iOS 26, which is set to be the biggest revamp to the platform since iOS 7 in 2013.

As previously reported, Bloomberg describes the iOS 26 design as being based on visionOS.

One lingering question about the iOS 26 redesign is whether app icons will be rounded to match the Apple Vision Pro interface.

According to Bloomberg, the shape of app icons “is staying largely the same” in iOS 26.

The report corroborates other details of iOS 26 previously reported by 9to5Mac.

And now, a leaker has shared what to expect from device compatibility across watchOS 26, tvOS 26, and HomePod 26.

There’s also HomePod 26 software coming, but without a screen there’s no need for a new UI.

But there’s better news for Apple Watch, Apple TV, and HomePod owners.

Device compatibility for watchOS 26, tvOS 26, HomePodPer MacRumors’ source, all hardware compatible with last year’s software updates will also support this year’s new versions.

Apple TV+’s next prestige limited series just added another powerhouse to its already stacked cast.

Leslie Odom Jr., best known for his Tony-winning role as Aaron Burr in Hamilton, has signed on for a recurring role in “Imperfect Women”.

As reported by Deadline, Odom Jr. will play a character named Donovan, joining a high-profile cast that also includes Kate Mara (The Martian), Joel Kinnaman (For All Mankind), and Corey Stoll (The Many Saints of Newark).

His addition to Imperfect Women comes just ahead of a big summer.

There is no release date yet for Imperfect Women, but given the cast and creative team, I’m already looking forward to it.

Teaching AI to hear and to listenMost speech models today are trained primarily on healthy, typical voices.

But here’s the catch: instead of using these models to transcribe what’s being said, they measured how the voice sounds, using seven core dimensions.

: a rough, strained, or gravelly vocal quality.

Naturalness : how typical or fluent the speech sounds to a listener.

If you’ve recently found your Mail app stuck on a blank white screen, you’re not alone.

No Mail for youOver the past few days, a growing number of iPhone users have reported that the Mail app displays a blank screen upon opening, becomes unresponsive, or crashes unexpectedly.

Interestingly, while iOS 18.5 was released last month, widespread reports of this Mail app issue have only surfaced recently.

Temporary workaroundsWhile there’s no official fix yet, some users have found temporary solutions, including restarting the iPhone, force-closing the Mail app, disabling keyboard auto-correction and smart punctuation, and reinstalling the Mail app.

Happy Nintendo Switch 2 Day to those who celebrate.

Nintendo sells an official Switch 2 Camera that connects using USB-C, but the console supports standard USB-C webcams as well.

Apple has been treating the iPhone as a webcam for the Mac for a while now, and it looks like Nintendo is doing the same with the Switch 2.

Niles Mitchell has the video demonstration for us on YouTube:This configuration relies on an HDMI to USB-C cable and an HDMI capture cable between the iPhone and the Switch 2.

For the latest Nintendo Switch 2 coverage, keep it locked to 9to5Toys for deals, hands-on experience, and more.

While the so-called "iPhone 17 Air" is not expected to launch until September, there are already plenty of rumors about the ultra-thin device.

Overall, the iPhone 17 Air sounds like a mixed bag.

While the device is expected to have an impressively thin and light design, rumors indicate it will have some compromises compared to iPhone 17 Pro models, including worse battery life, only a single rear camera, only a single speaker, and an A19 chip instead of an A19 Pro chip.

Below, we recap 17 key rumors for the iPhone 17 Air as of June 2025:Bookmark our iPhone 17 Air roundup to stay up to date with more rumors in the coming months.

A new leak claims to have the complete compatibility list of Apple TV models that will be able to support the tvOS 26 upgrade that will be announced at #WWDC25.

The WWDC leaks continue with a compatibility list for the Apple TV and tvOS 26, following one for the Apple Watch, and a surprising one for the HomePod.

This particular leak says that tvOS 26 will be available to users of these models:Apple TV HD (2015)Apple TV 4K (1st generation, 2017)Apple TV 4K (2nd generation, 2021)Apple TV 4K (3rd generation, 2022)While the leak does not specify this detail, there are two models of the most recent Apple TV 4K 3rd generation but they are presumably both supported.

A TikTok video maker filmed a prank of pretending to take cash from people's iPhones using Tap to Pay.

Apple Pay won't let money be takenLondon's Evening Standard has more of an explanation along with other examples from across the city.

It's important to note that no actual money is taken in these pranks, and Apple Pay requires the payer to confirm any transactions before they happen.

What this prankster was pretending to do was use Apple's Tap to Cash, but this requires Apple Cash — which is not available in the UK.

And, the prank can't drain from Apple Cash either.

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.

So, when working with such static URLs, it’s very common to simply use force unwrapping to turn the resulting optional URL into a non-optional one:let url = URL (string: "https://swiftbysundell.com" )!

With the above in place, we can now easily convert any static string within our code base into a URL , without having to deal with optionals at every single call site:let url = URL (staticString: "https://swiftbysundell.com" )Nice!

Let’s see if we can write a Swift macro that’ll let us not just convert, but also validate static URL strings at compile time.

} }Note how we prefix the URL type with its parent module ( Foundation ) above.

ID ) async throws -> User { guard let url = URL ( st…

I never actually decided to stop writing Swift articles.

But as time went on, I started to really miss Swift by Sundell.

The solution to that problem — meet the Swift by Sundell Archive.

I want to sincerely thank the fine folks at Genius Scan for helping me bring Swift by Sundell back, and to everyone in the Swift community who has reached out over the past few years with encouraging and supportive messages.

Welcome back to Swift by Sundell!

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.

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.

macOS Apprentice is a series of multi-chapter tutorials where you’ll learn about developing native macOS apps in Swift, using both SwiftUI — Apple’s newest user interface technology — and AppKit — the venerable UI framework.

macOS Apprentice doesn’t cover every single feature of macOS; it focuses on the absolutely essential ones.

Instead of just covering a list of features, macOS Apprentice does something much more important: It explains how all the building blocks fit together and what is involved in building real apps.

Our other book on building apps for macOS, macOS by Tutorials, is designed for developers who have a solid background in iOS development and are looking to make the leap to…

SwiftUI Apprentice is a series of epic-length tutorials where you’ll learn to build three complete apps from scratch, using Apple’s new user interface technology: SwiftUI!

Each app is more advanced than the one before, and together, they cover everything to make your own apps using SwiftUI.

SwiftUI Apprentice doesn’t cover every single feature of iOS; it focuses on the absolutely essential ones.

Our other book on building apps with SwiftUI, SwiftUI by Tutorials, is designed for developers who have a solid background in iOS development and are looking to make the leap from building apps with UIKit, to building apps with SwiftUI.

This book, SwiftUI Apprentice, is designed to teach new develop…

To make things easier—not just for myself, but for others facing the same struggles—I decided to start a blog to document what I was learning.

The plan was simple—spend one day each week writing tutorials and use the rest of my time working on my own apps.

That worked for a while, until I started polling my readers about which topics they wanted me to cover next.

This meant extra research on my part, and soon I found myself spending more than my allocated day each week writing tutorials.

It was a huge success, and we realized we needed to create more books for the community.

Model Context Protocol (MCP) aims to do the same for a new generation of AI tools.

But back to more practical matters:Let’s talk about where we are today with Model Context Protocol.

In the process of building iMCP, we built a Swift SDK for Model Context Protocol servers and clients.

We think emcee is a convenient way to connect to services that don’t have an existing MCP server implementation — especially for services you’re building yourself.

In case it’s not abundantly clear, we here at NSHipster dot com are pretty bought into the promise of Model Context Protocol.

What can I do?

Please try again in a few minutes.

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).

Как App Store борется с мошенникамиApp Store выпустили отчет с кучей цифр про то, как они борятся с мошенническими приложениями и транзакциями:👉Удалили с платформы 146.000 аккаунтов разработчиков, а еще 139.000 отказались регистрировать. Также удалили 37.000 приложений.👉Каждую неделю команда проводит ревью для 150.000 новых версий приложений. А вообще за 2024 год свое первое приложение опубликовали 220.000 разработчиков.👉Из 7.7 миллионов билдов, отправленных на ревью, 1.9 миллиона зареджектили.👉За попытками скрыть какие-то запрещенные фичи за флагами поймали 43.000 билдов.

Подъехали детали про то, что там на самом деле происходит под капотом:👉Вместо ТСА решили использовать MVVM, чтобы избежать просадок перфоманса на расчете диффа стейтов.👉Архитектуру затачивали под портируемость под разные ОС.👉SwiftUI очень сильно ухудшал перфоманс на macOS, поэтому от него отказались целиком в пользу AppKit. Обещают в будущем подробный пост.👉Point Free прокомментировали, что Arc сидел на своем форке TCA, который не обновлялся из мастера с конца 2023 года, и стейт диффинг уже давно выпилили.

iOS 19 -> iOS 26Утек один из анонсов WWDC – помимо большого редизайна будет изменена система версионирования, и от порядковой нумерации уйдут к использованию года релиза. Так что ждем iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS 26, visionOS 26, tvOS 26, watchOS 26!same vibe как на картинке!

Swift Ecosystem Steering GroupВ структуру Swift добавилась еще одна корная группа, которая будет отвечать за развитие всей экосистемы: SwiftPM, билд-системы, тулинг вроде swift-format, интеграцию с IDE, тестирование и другие похожие области. Их цель – сделать так, чтобы полезных пакетов становилось больше, а у разработчиков был весь нужный тулинг для этого.

Улучшаем тексты ошибок в SwiftErrorKit – библиотека, которая дает кучу удобных инструментов по работе с ошибками в Swift. В частности, она оборачивает многие системные ошибки, добавляя к ним понятное описание. Например, вместо "The operation couldn't be completed. (Cocoa error 133000.)" подставляет "The database has a validation error. One or more required fields are empty or have invalid values.".Так вот, автор библиотеки рассказывает, как работает эта фича, и просит помощи в том, чтобы улучшить сотни других ошибок.
