For complex requests, we’re also introducing skills to let you teach Siri AI how to combine several actions into a single experience.

And Siri AI can now surface any entity in the Spotlight semantic index, not just the ones that fit an existing schema.

This developer beta offers a sneak peek at Siri AI app intents for developers.

As you explore early, we will follow up with more details about the terms and usage policies for experiences enabled through Siri AI.

Siri AI is currently unavailable in the EU in iOS, iPadOS, and watchOS.

The beta versions of iOS 27.3, iPadOS 27.3, macOS 27.3, tvOS 27.3, visionOS 27.3, and watchOS 27.3 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 27.3 to take advantage of the advancements in the latest SDKs.

Starting November 16, 2026, App Store Connect will include new content descriptors to help ensure your app’s age ratings accurately reflect its features and are in accordance with local regulations.

When completing the age rating questionnaire in App Store Connect, you’ll need to declare whether your app includes:Shared Location: Sharing of real-world location with another person or group.

You must provide these declarations when submitting an app update or making changes to your age rating questionnaire.

Apps that include Dating and Relationships receive a minimum age rating of 18+.

Once verified, the official rating will display on the App Store in Brazil.

Apple is making changes to the Taiwan storefront of the App Store, following discussions with the Taiwan Fair Trade Commission.

As of October 31, 2026, the commission rate for standard Apple In-App Purchase and paid app transactions will be 26% on the Taiwan storefront of the App Store on iOS and iPadOS.

Signing the updated terms by October 31 is not required to receive the benefit of these commission rate changes starting that date.

We give developers powerful APIs to build incredible capabilities into their apps for Apple products, backed by a set of controls designed to protect users’ private data.

Full Disk Access largely sidesteps these controls in order to allow backup apps to function properly on the Mac.

Some developers are using Full Disk Access in ways that could put users at risk, exposing everything on their systems—including files, mail, messages, and even browsing history—without users’ full knowledge and understanding.

As AI agents become increasingly capable and autonomous, the risks associated with this level of access will grow substantially.

Working on my app’s Duo adjustments I wanted to see how other, well-established apps chose to adapt their layouts and custom behaviors. I liked going to Mobbin to checkout different design choices for years now (when I don’t simply install them on my devices). They didn’t add Duo so far though Wondering if anyone found a nice way to preview it Or if I should just find myself a rich friend to use and stick to the guidelines for now😅 submitted by /u/iamidan [link] [comments]

I'm exploring Apple apps on the iPhone Duo simulator to check how they adapt their app to the new screens. One thing that I noticed is that the margin between the content and the vertical bar varies from app to app. In the Settings app, it appears they are respecting the layoutMarginsGuide. But in the Fitness app, it looks like there's an extra margin between the content and the vertical bar. In some apps, like the Watch app, it's inconsistent from one tab to another. I've noticed though that they have fixed it for some apps (Contacts) in the 27.3 beta. submitted by /u/Puzzleheaded-Gain438 [link] [comments]

Author here. We just released LinnetTTS, a small on-device English TTS: an autoregressive flow LM over a 25 Hz continuous-latent codec with a Vocos-style decoder, 41 M parameters end to end, one flow evaluation per step, no diffusion loop at inference. Each step produces 80 ms of audio, so playback starts after the prime pass plus one step and never waits for the whole sentence. It speaks in a voice given as a short voice-prompt latent; two built-in voices ship with the weights. The runtime is Rust with its own kernels (AVX2+FMA on x86-64, NEON on ARM), no PyTorch or ONNX at inference. fp16 weights are 83 MB; peak memory about 160 MB on Linux.

I am currently testing additionalOverflowItems with the expectation that it behaves as follows: Keep UIBarButtonItem instances visible directly on the toolbar as icons whenever there is sufficient space. Only move items into the overflow menu when there isn't enough screen real estate. In iOS 26, additionalOverflowItems behaves exactly as described above. However, in iOS 18, the system tends to aggressively move all UIBarButtonItem instances into the overflow menu regardless of available space. Is this change in layout behavior documented anywhere? Can we rely on iOS 26 and future releases maintaining this current behavior, or are the layout heuristics for additionalOverflowItems considered…

I remember a few months ago, I would submit something on a Friday, and then it wouldn't get accepted until Wednesday or Thursday the following week. Now, even on a Sunday, sometimes I can get two versions reviewed in a single day. Either Apple has automated more of the process, hired way more app reviewers, or they just don't care anymore and are letting everything through. I'm not complaining. It benefits me greatly, but I'm not sure what this says about the general quality of the reviews and whether they even serve a purpose at this point. submitted by /u/JhinRamen [link] [comments]

Hey everyone, I’m trying the Siri AI Developer Preview on iOS 27.3 with my app I have a custom AppIntent(.tool) that returns [HistoryEntity] for recently watched movies and TV episodes. Asking “What did I recently watch in ComfyCinema?” works—Siri responds with the correct history and displays cards for the items. But tapping those cards doesn’t open the History section. My logging shows that neither the entity query nor OpenHistoryIntent.perform() gets called on tap. The same open intent works when: I run it through Shortcuts, passing an entity from the history action. I explicitly ask Siri to open the most recent history item. So the navigation works; it’s specifically tapping an entity i…

Apple rejected my app under Guideline 2.1(b) because a subscription purchase failed with “Purchase failed. Please try again.” I’m using RevenueCat, and both monthly and yearly subscriptions work perfectly on 5–6 different iPhones through TestFlight and Sandbox testing. Restore Purchases also works. Apple tested on an iPad, and the subscription products and prices loaded correctly, but the purchase failed. Interestingly, monthly purchases take noticeably longer than yearly purchases in TestFlight, although both succeed. I’ve resubmitted the exact same build and asked Apple to retry. Has anyone experienced something similar? Did Apple approve your app after retrying, or did you have to change…

I'm a software developer and a gamer, and I've started making iOS games with the goal of making a profit out of it. I built my first one and it's close to App Store review, so I'm past the "can I ship it" part. I can code and I have more game ideas than time, but I've never run a game as a business. For those of you who have already done this and made money from it, what do you wish you knew before your first game? What actually paid for you, ads or in-app purchases? And how did you get your first players? Any general advice is welcome. submitted by /u/BuildinZZ [link] [comments]

Issue 774 30th October 2026 Written by Alex OzunI don’t normally enjoy throwing shade on other dev communities, but it’s hard not to be a little bit smug around our Android friends these days.

In fact, a lot of these apps rely heavily on the hinge gimmick and arguably don’t offer much long-term value to users.

Speaking of gimmicks, the new MacBook Pro with a touch screen was announced on Wednesday.

The hero image on apple.com, with a person playing the piano on the MacBook’s screen, is outright ridiculous.

But I can certainly get behind the use case of interacting with the simulator using touch input.

Issue 773 23rd October 2026 Written by Alex OzunOver the past few weeks, I’ve seen a massive push from developers to adapt their apps for iPhone Duo ahead of its launch date.

I’ve been especially impressed by the indie dev and Build in Public communities, with many developers going well beyond what’s required for basic Duo support.

iPhone Duo starts shipping today, but significant supply delays mean that many developers won’t get their devices any time soon.

This might be the first time I’ve seen someone use mesh gradients creatively to tie together a multi-screen app design.

But this article by Sarun I read very carefully, especially with the current push to adapt apps for iPhone Duo.

Issue 772 16th October 2026 Written by Konstantinos NikoloutsosHello, iOS Dev Weekly readers 👋 It’s me Konsta.

As the article makes clear, this is an experiment: private APIs don’t belong in production App Store code.

It reminds me of Juan Marin’s comment in issue 767, calling UIScreen.main.bounds “a bug waiting for a device” before discussing the iPhone Duo.

Blueprint, by Mustafa Natur, turns your app icon into a blueprint-style version, with colours and badges and custom labels(thanks for that) that give testing builds and release candidates their own character.

Issue 771 9th October 2026 Written by Juan MarinI’ve spent this week at next.app devCon in Berlin, which has been a reminder of why conferences are worth the trip.

Product managers are asked to show growth, and minutes are what the analytics tools hand you by default.

Apple is already handing families better tools to see and limit screen time.

Once people can see the minutes, the minutes stop being a compliment.

What a start to the week…Google shipped a malformed remote config for Firebase SDK that appears to have broken most (all?)

Each time an event like this happens, I see a surge in debate around the dangers of dependencies.

– Andyy HopeGitHub-hosted macOS runners are slow, prone to queueing delays, and very expensive.

As someone who has spent a few hours manually exporting symbols, this is going to be a real boon for my workflow.

Issue 769 25th September 2026 Written by Alex OzunLast week I attended the iPhone Duo Group Lab, and while none of my questions made it to the panel, I came out with a few insights.

I was as interested in the questions other developers asked as in Apple’s answers.

The new hardware creates opportunities, but developers shouldn’t try to invent a gimmick for every pose and hinge angle.

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.

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.

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.

iOS 27.3 makes keyboard on iPhone Duo outer display more reachable one-handedIf you’re one of the fortunate early adopters who managed to get an iPhone Duo on or near launch day, you may have noticed that changes keep arriving via software updates.

Now just about one week later, the iOS 27.3 beta has introduced even more changes.

iOS 27.3 beta tweaks iPhone Duo's outer display keyboard, with narrower keys and a slightly thinner, smaller font.

Apple to seek $7 billion in bond saleOver the past week, several Big Tech companies have turned to the bond market to raise billions of dollars amid growing investments in AI infrastructure.

Meta, for instance, just raised $15 billion through a US bond offering, followed by another €9 billion (roughly $10 billion) in European bonds.

Earlier this week, Alphabet raised €6 billion (approximately $6.7 billion), while Microsoft completed a $25 billion bond sale last week, its first since 2017.

Most recently, Apple raised $4.5 billion through a four-part bond offering in May 2025, which attracted approximately $10 billion in investor orders.

Bad Monkey, an Apple TV comedy from the creator of Ted Lasso and Shrinking, returns soon for a new season.

Here’s the just-released trailer for Bad Monkey season 2.

Bad Monkey season 2 debuts Wednesday, December 2 with one episode, followed by weekly releases through February 3.

You can watch Bad Monkey season 1 here on Apple TV.

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

Anthropic just launched the ability to securely use personal finance data with Claude.

“With Personal Finance in Claude, you can securely connect your bank and card accounts and ask in your own words.

Access is read-only, and Personal Finance can’t move, manage, or invest your money.”Similar to ChatGPT’s finances feature, Claude’s new capabilities essentially give you a way to use chat as a way to make sense of your finance data.

Given the importance of security, here’s what Anthropic has to say regarding the new finance feature and Claude:Claude’s access is read-only.

Personal Finance helps you understand your money, and it isn’t designed to give investment advice.

tvOS 27.2 launched last week as the latest software update for Apple TV 4K, and it includes a new setting I’m a big fan of: Shuffle for screen savers.

Aerials are still my favorite type of Apple TV screen saver, but tvOS has steadily added other categories worth checking out too.

But until tvOS 27.2, you had to select just one category and that’s all you’d ever see.

Now with tvOS 27.2, Apple has introduced a ‘Shuffle’ option that randomly cycles through screen savers from across all four categories.

Have you tried the new Shuffle setting for screen savers in tvOS 27.2?

Apple has been steadily improving Apple One Premier, and iOS 27.3 is another big step forwardApple One launched in 2019 with Individual, Family, and Premier plans.

Every plan has always included Apple Music, Apple TV, Apple Arcade, and iCloud+.

Apple Fitness+ keeps improving too, but there’s an upgrade in iOS 27.3 that makes it far more compelling in my view: Gym Strength.

Alongside Gym Strength, iOS 27.3 also adds new features for Apple Music and Apple TV that all subscribers will benefit from.

Apple One starts at $21.95/month and includes services like Apple TV, Apple Music, iCloud+, and more.

Apple today seeded the first betas of iOS 27.3, iPadOS 27.3, macOS Golden Gate 27.3, tvOS 27.3, and watchOS 27.3.

iOS 27.3 is a major update that adds a Vertical Tabs layout option and Adaptive Dark Mode for Safari.

On the Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4, Audio Intelligence features Live Rewind and ‌Siri‌ Recap are available for testing.

‌macOS Golden Gate‌ 27.3 has the same Safari features, and it brings Live Activities to Macs without a Dynamic Island.

After you're signed up, the betas can be installed through the Software Update section in the Settings app on each device.

On an earnings call earlier this week, Apple CEO John Ternus announced that the company sold more Macs in its 2026 fiscal year than any previous fiscal year.

"We have never sold more Macs in a fiscal year than we did this time, which is a truly remarkable testament to these incredible products," he said.

This record is all the more impressive given that several Mac models have faced supply constraints this year.

Apple's CFO Kevan Parekh said Mac sales have been driven by the popularity of the MacBook Neo and MacBook Pro lately.

In other words, the feature is not available in the $199.99 one-time purchase version of Logic Pro.

Apple's fine print on the Logic Pro release notes page:The intelligent assistant (beta) requires an Apple Creator Studio subscription, a Mac with Apple silicon, and macOS 27 or later.

Indeed, the release notes for the one-time purchase version of Logic Pro for Mac version 13.0 do not mention Intelligent Assistant.

Apple says the Intelligent Assistant is powered by a combination of Apple-built and third-party AI models.

Except for creators who opted to pay $199.99 upfront for Logic Pro, that is.

Instagram today expanded its Edits video editing app to the Mac.

Edits for Mac is intended for larger projects that benefit from a big screen and the control of a mouse and keyboard.

The app includes Instagram's licensed and royalty-free audio libraries, sound and video effects, and unlimited automatic captions.

Edits for Mac has a full multi-track timeline, keyframes for dynamic transitions, and precise audio waveforms for accurate cuts.

Edits for Mac can be downloaded from the Instagram website.

In iOS 27.2, Apple has a new settings menu that lets you choose which apps Siri, Search, and suggestions can access, all from one list.

With iOS 27.2, Apple has replaced the old App Access controls with a redesigned Excluded Apps feature that makes it a lot simpler to keep specific apps away from Siri, Search, and suggestions.

Previously, excluding an app in iOS meant opening Settings ➝ Apple Intelligence & Siri ➝ Apps and adjusting each app's toggles individually.

Moreover, fully keeping an app's content out of search results also required toggling off a separate "Show Content in Search" switch that was buried in each app menu in Settings ➝ Apps.

The first reviews of the new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with PROLED XDR displays have been published ahead of the laptops launching on Friday.

If you're one to use the iPhone mirroring feature on MacBook Pro, the touchscreen makes it more intuitive.

I've always used the smaller of the two MacBook Pro models for portability, most recently a 14-inch M4 Pro.

When the MacBook Pro is closed, the logo looks like polished metal, just like it has since the 2016 redesign.

The laptops use the same M5 Pro and M5 Max chips that remain available in the MacBook Pro models with mini-LED displays, so performance is similar.

Apple has largely stopped making users join a waitlist to access its Siri AI assistant.

According to an updated Apple support document, Siri AI "will begin to download automatically" once users opt in, but the waitlist is now reserved "during time of high demand," and wait times can vary.

The document previously said that enabling the assistant "will add you to a waitlist," as noted by 9to5Mac.

The document was updated on November 2, likely following two months of Apple testing server load.

Released in September, Siri AI remains in beta across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Vision Pro.

headline ) } }When using the some keyword, the compiler will infer the underlying concrete type that’s actually being returned, which is especially helpful when working with APIs that heavily utilize generics — such as SwiftUI.

In fact, we can use it to solve similar generics-based problems, and as syntactic sugar, across a wide range of use cases.

This is where the some keyword comes in, which — just like when using SwiftUI — can help us avoid some of the complexity involved in working with generics.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Apple shipped Swift 6.4 alongside Xcode 27, and it’s another one of those releases that’s easy to underestimate at a glance.

The Starter folder includes the code before Swift 6.4, and the Final folder includes the code for Swift 6.4.

This helps to see the differences in the code and how Swift 6.4 improves the language and its features.

Before Swift 6.4, you needed to remove -warnings-as-errors from the build settings, which would stop every warning in the module from being treated as an error.

Let’s now look at some of the concurrency improvements in Swift 6.4.

Sign inThis module focuses on the testing side of Agentic Development.

You’ll consolidate the audits produced by the previous module into a concrete, prioritized unit-test plan and use Conductor to write those tests in parallel.

Then you’ll use Xcode 27’s simulator MCP to have an AI agent simulate human behavior in a running app by executing plain-English test steps itself, and have that same agent debug the app directly through breakpoints and the console.

This module does not cover how to write tests manually, and treats “write unit tests” or “increase coverage” as anti-patterns to avoid — every test in this module traces back to a specific, reasoned finding.

Prerequisites: Completion of …

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.

I have an amazing local community in my town that I love and am deeply involved in.

But nobody here is a programmer, or even a computer nerd, so it doesn’t serve my need for a tech community.

It’s a fortunate lifestyle with many upsides, but it means I don’t get that form of community at work, either.

First in the Total Annihilation community (RIP, Annihilated), then the HardOCP Forum, then the Something Awful Forums, then Tumblr, then Twitter and our community of Apple bloggers, and then Mastodon.

Twitter was an amazing product and community that was previously owned by assholes, and now it’s X, which has a strong but different tech community, and is owned by different assholes.

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?

UIKit vs SwiftUIПоследние пару недель в Твиттере в очередной раз разгорелись споры о том, а есть ли вообще смысл в SwiftUI, если его основная ценность была в человеческом DX, а сегодня весь код все равно пишут агенты. Помимо споров, люди горяют разного рода бенчмарки, на которых просят агента сделать одно и то же приложение на двух фреймворках – и SwiftUI консистентно проигрывает везде.Расскажите, а вы-то что думаете, какой вообще смысл в SwiftUI сегодня?

Обзор на iPhone DuoНа прошлой неделе первые iPhone Duo начали попадать в руки людей, а вместе с ними полетели и отзывы. Вот эта рецензия мне показалась самой полной и интересной. TL;DR: в разложенном режиме великолепно, в сложенном – так себе, с адаптацией приложений пока беда. В итоге я пока что передумал брать себе, скорее всего буду ждать второго поколения.

Как собрать эвалы из своих агентских сессийДержите классный гайд от автора бенчмарка SWE-ReBench про то, как собрать свой собственный простой эвал на основе своих же существующих агентских трейсов. Эти эвалы вы сможете использовать для сравнения новых моделей, харнессов и скиллов.

Как удалить мусорные тестыКаждое поколение моделей сходит с ума по-своему. Текущее, помимо прочего, пишет юнит-тесты как не в себя, поэтому любой хоть сколько-то крупный проект обзавелся уже тысячами их. При этом подавляющая часть тестов абсолютно бесполезны.Автор статьи перечитал книгу Orta Therox 2016 года, вытащил из нее правила того, что делает тест хорошим, и собрал из этого специальный скилл для зачистки вашего тест-сьюта.

Новый xctrace skillВ обновлении Xcode появился еще один скилл – теперь агентам проще использовать Instruments прямо в консоли: записывать и читать трейсы, разбирать call trees, разбирать подвисания.

Q&A про iPhone DuoApple периодически проводит встречи с разработчиками, где отвечает на очень прикладные вопросы про разработку под новые iPhone. Держите расшифровку с разбором таких вопросов как:👉В чем ограничения тестирования приложений под Duo на симуляторе👉Как открытие/закрытие влияет на камеру в приложениях👉Как стоит обрабатывать кейс стационарной позиции👉Как себя ведет TextView

Новый CLI тул xcodeprojВ Xcode 27.2 Beta 3 появился новый CLI инструмент – xcodeproj. Никакой документации пока нет, но судя по API, предназначен он в первую очередь для агентов, чтобы им проще было создавать новый проект, добавлять таргеты, менять настройки проекта и делать другие похожие штуки.

Личный сайт на SwiftUI-like компонентахРазбор того, как можно сделать простой web-фреймворк на базе Elementary, и поверх него написать личный сайт. Отличный проект на выходные!

Xcode has always been great at eating disk space. DerivedData, simulators, test results… you name it. And now that we’re running multiple AI agents across Git worktrees, we’re basically feeding it even faster.Antoine van der Lee made a handy Agent Skill that helps you find and clean up Xcode leftovers.Ideally, you should automate cleanup with worktree hooks and scripts. But if you haven’t done that yet, this is a pretty good place to start.https://github.com/AvdLee/Xcode-Disk-Cleanup-Agent-Skill#Xcode #AI

Go make your designers happy — starting April 2027, all apps and games submitted to the App Store will need to include screenshots for iPhone Duo.https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=kkphp5qo

Xcode 27 makes MCP much more interesting — with the new headless server, coding agents can use Xcode tools and render SwiftUI previews without keeping Xcode open.Unfortunately, Preview MCP still has some rough edges. You can’t reliably choose the rendering device, and sometimes Xcode happily gives your agent an old screenshot after the code has already changed.Fatbobman ran into these problems in real AI workflows and came up with some clever workarounds.https://fatbobman.com/en/posts/letting-ai-see-swiftui/#Xcode #SwiftUI #AI

Xcode 27 RC is out and App Store submissions are already open.If your app still uses the old UIApplicationDelegate-based lifecycle without UIScene, now is the time to migrate. Apps built with the iOS 27 SDK won’t launch without the scene-based lifecycle.FYI, UIScreen.main is deprecated toohttps://developer.apple.com/documentation/Technotes/tn3187-Migrating-to-the-UIKit-scene-based-life-cycle

Apple introduced @ContentBuilder this year, and we’re already seeing developers push it beyond its original use case. My Swift buddy Artem ran an interesting experiment using @ContentBuilder with non-View types. It’s a nice example of how the new builder…

Oh, alignmentGuide is one of my favorite SwiftUI APIs!This article is a great example of how it can elegantly solve a layout problem without resorting to GeometryReader, offsets, or other workarounds.If you’ve never really used alignmentGuide, this is definitely worth a read!https://nilcoalescing.com/blog/AlignmentGuidesInSwiftUI#SwiftUI

If you’re migrating to Swift 6, this is a great short refresher on one of the most confusing concurrency changes. It explains, with simple examples:• how nonisolated behaves with Approachable Concurrency• when execution stays on the caller’s executor• and when @concurrent is actually needed.These are easy details to forget, but they often come up in code reviews and technical interviews. 😉https://nsvasilev.com/posts/approachable_concurrency/#swift #concurrency

FYI Apple deprecated canOpenURL(_:) in iOS 27.Instead of checking whether an app is installed, the new recommendation is to simply call open(_:completionHandler:) and handle failures.There’s another change: apps linked against the iOS 27 SDK can now declare only 25 entries in LSApplicationQueriesSchemes (down from 50).https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiapplication/canopenurl(_:)#iOS #privacy

If you’re using Tuist, it’s worth trying their new package resolution process - SwifterpmWhy did they build it?• Better support for Git worktrees• Faster parallel installs for AI coding agents• A shared package store to avoid duplicate checkouts• Faster dependency resolution and package materializationThe benchmark results look very promising.The Tuist team is actively looking for feedback, so if it works well in your project, let them know!#build #optimization #tuist

Apple finally got around to adding this in iOS 27, and somehow I’m still genuinely excited about it. 😄textSelection() now supports granular text selection. In iOS 26, applying it to a Text view only let you select the entire block. Now you can simply drag to select the exact part you want, just like in any native text view.It took them until iOS 27… but I’ll happily take it.https://x.com/natpanferova/status/2070781569044996429?s=46&t=YNy4qFziI3PFPTlrSCXpmA#SwiftUI
