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

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

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

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

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.

Progress on the Embedded Swift linkage modelEmbedded Swift uses a different compilation model from regular Swift that delays code generation to later in the compilation process.

Embedded Swift support is available in the Swift development snapshots.

The best way to get started is through the examples in the Swift Embedded Examples repository, which contains a number of sample projects to get Embedded Swift code building …

The fourth and last post in this year’s series, contributed by Kelvin Bui, improved the console output that is printed when running tests implemented with Swift Testing.

My name is Kelvin Bui, and I’m excited to share my GSoC 2025 project, where I worked on improving the console output for the Swift Testing framework with my mentor, Stuart Montgomery.

There are even a number of talks lined up for this year’s server conference with success stories of running Swift on the server.

Native UTF-8 strings, Codable , keypaths, and property wrappers all saw quick adoption by server packages.

Have a look at the Cloud Services page on swift.org for getting started tutorials, language benefits, and more information about the server ecosystem.

Swift is picking up more acceptance in the server world and the recent Valkey announcement for Swift is a testament to the efforts of the community in making Swift a first-class citizen on the server.

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…

I created app that runs local models. Every time I update it though Xcode or App Store it triggers model recompilation. Models are big, so time is significant. As you might know whenever you need to run CoreML model on device for the first time iOS would compile it first. That's why first run is slower than subsequent. Apparently any app update also triggers recompilation. Even if models are the same. Is it possible to avoid that? I don't want my users to wait for recompilation every time I make an update. submitted by /u/Agitated-Pea3251 [link] [comments]

Title. I’m trying to build a live activity for my app where each user can track a route for something - so obviously it’ll differ user by user, unlike stuff like sport score trackers which can push the same notification to everyone. I want to update the live activity using server side push notifications, as I’ve been told on device updates are not reliable. I’m not sure how to do this though - I’m not sure what platform to use, how to go about it, etc. I have access to Firebase and an EC2 on AWS. Every 30 seconds, users should have their live activity updated with a push notification that contains data from a user-specific API call. Could anyone provide some pointers here? submitted by /u/D…

Hey everyone, I’ve been working on my first indie app this year, and it’s been live on the App Store since early this year. My app is called “Riftbound Companion” — as you can guess, it’s a companion app for Riot’s new TCG, Riftbound. If you want to take a look or drop a small review, always appreciated! Recently, a competitor released an app and started using my exact app name in their title. They even used screenshots to claim they are “The #1 Riftbound Companion” and added “– Riftbound Companion” to their app name. It feels like a pretty low move, but okay… people do what they do. Since my app was published long before theirs, I’m wondering: Is it worth opening a dispute with Apple over …

I can't seem to fetch local files in javascript using WKWebView. All files are in the same directory in my Swift UI project and I added the folder that contains them to Copy Bundle Resources in Build Phases. I am able to import javascript modules which are also in the same directory. AI is turning me in circles and has offered a suggestion of using XMLHttpRequest (which has the same issue) and a large workaround of creating a Custom URL scheme, which may work, but it seems like the issue is simpler than that. It seems like it's a CORS violation, but I don't know how to get around it or why importing modules wouldn't also be a CORS issue. Any help is greatly appreciated! Here is my Swift UI …

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

– Dave VerwerSentry automatically captures crashes recorded on macOS, iOS, and tvOS to make sure you’re shipping the best experience to your users.

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

Does that mean adopting Liquid Glass?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

QA Wolf delivers 80% automated test coverage in weeks, with tests running on real iOS devices—all in 100% parallel with zero flakes.

😬 App Store submissions for release day are open, so get those final builds tested and shipped.

It didn’t make the keynote, but Apple also quietly announced a brand-new feature, Memory Integrity Enforcement, debuting on the latest devices.

It’s not as flashy as the features announced in the keynote, but this will make Apple devices safer to use, which is wonderful.

Matt is always worth listening to when it comes to Swift concurrency, so don’t skip this.

Issue 725 5th September 2025 Written by Dave VerwerAre you ready for Apple to tempt you with new purchases on Tuesday?

Liquid Glass has meant that we’ve all had to reconsider our app designs.

QA Wolf builds and maintains E2E tests that cover 80%+ of your iOS app in just weeks.

👍DesignEven if David Smith’s latest post didn’t focus on Liquid Glass, it’d still be worth watching the embedded video.

As with Liquid Glass, it’s not yet clear how concentricity will settle in over the next year.

The assistant now defaults to GPT-5 and, more significantly, adds support for using a Claude Pro or Max account.

Read the release notes for the full list of changes, but it’s the assistant I want to talk about today.

When I was using GPT-5, it told me that I needed to start a new conversation several times after just a few messages.

I also got several timeout errors when using GPT-5.

Both models are extremely capable at making code changes in Swift, and it’s possible GPT-5 was just having some server load issues.

With that thought in mind, this week Craig Hockenberry wrote a great post titled “Liquid Glass.

I installed the betas on my primary iOS devices a few weeks ago and while I don’t hate Liquid Glass, I’m struggling to love it.

It’s fun to look at, but there’s no question in my mind that it’s a step backwards for readability.

Is Liquid Glass the latest example of Apple carefully not saying something about this year’s devices?

CodeAfter talking so much about Liquid Glass this week, it seems fitting to highlight two of Victor Baro’s recent articles.

Issue 722 15th August 2025 Written by Dave VerwerIt’s very clear that SwiftUI is the framework that Apple would like you to write most of your apps with.

This week, a great reminder of that came with a lengthy essay from Seb Vidal covering what’s new in UIKit with the iOS 26 SDK.

Every year, we see more Swift and SwiftUI and less Objective-C in Apple’s operating system binaries.

First, he covers the Mac app, and then the iOS app, covering all the major views, including the Mac app’s about box!

Issue 721 8th August 2025 Written by Dave VerwerOne of the more interesting posts I read this week was Peter Steinberger’s “Don’t read this Startup Slop”.

I obviously read a lot of the blog posts written by the Swift and Apple platform community.

It’s safe to say that I have certainly read AI-generated blog posts, and that it’s likely that I’ve linked to some in this newsletter.

Is an AI-assisted blog post better than no blog post at all?

In my opinion it’s definitely more complex than “LLM writing bad, human writing good”.

The case for iPad AirFor $150 more, the iPad Air comes with a lot more tech at a sub-$500 price.

The cheaper iPads have an air gap, and don’t have the same antireflective coating as the iPad Air.

iPad Air supports a laptop-style Magic Keyboard, whereas the base iPad only supports the Magic Keyboard Folio, similar to a Microsoft Surface.

Base iPadIf you heard all of those headlining iPad Air features and weren’t convinced, then the base iPad will be great for you.

The slim design makes a real differenceAt just 3.14 inches tall, the CurvX is Roborock’s thinnest vacuum yet.

That might not sound like much, but most robot vacuums are over 4 inches because of that spinning LiDAR tower on top.

If you’ve been frustrated by robot vacuums that can’t reach under furniture or constantly need maintenance, the CurvX addresses those pain points while looking good in your home.

Roborock’s Black Friday deals run from November 20 through December 1.

Here’s how Microsoft currently describes it:Microsoft PowerToys is a set of free Microsoft Windows utilities for power users to tune and streamline their Windows experience for greater productivity.

Today, Advanced Paste was updated to allow users to run the clipboard through any local model, removing the need for a paid API.

Advanced Paste even works with texts extracted directly from images, which is also pretty useful.

And yes, technically, neither PowerToys nor Advanced Paste are native Windows tools and features.

Do you have a good alternative to Advanced Paste on the Mac?

Following the introduction of iPhone Pocket, Apple announced today the Hikawa Phone Grip & Stand, celebrating the 40th anniversary of accessibility at Apple.

Two colorways for users with multiple accessibility needsCreated by Los Angeles-based artist and industrial designer Bailey Hikawa, whose work frequently explores interesting-looking iPhone cases, the new accessory is MagSafe compatible and doubles as a stand that holds the iPhone in either vertical or horizontal orientations.

According to Hikawa, the creative process for the accessory took into account input from users with multiple accessibility needs, including those who can’t operate the iPhone with their hands or have limited dext…

Apple TV today revealed that Pluribus has become its most successful new drama series debut ever, topping the viewership set by Severance season two earlier in the year.

Via Deadline, Apple says Vince Gilligan’s mysterious new show has captivated audiences and set a new viewership record for biggest global drama series launch for the streamer.

The success caps off a strong 2025 for Apple TV (formerly Apple TV+), which started the year with the explosive growth of Severance season two and now rounds out the year with another sci-fi smash hit in Pluribus.

As well as a steady stream of new content, in 2026, Apple TV engagement will also be boosted by the inclusion of Formula 1 and Major League…

watchOS 26 brought a variety of big and small updates to the Apple Watch, but one I’ve been increasingly loving is the new wrist flick gesture.

Wrist flick joins double tap in enabling Apple Watch hands-free useIn recent years, watchOS has added two new gestures that are intended to make hands-free Apple Watch use more of a thing.

Double tap Wrist flickDouble tap first debuted in 2023 with Apple Watch Series 9.

It’s a great little trick that makes the Apple Watch experience feel a bit more seamless.

Wrist flick is available with Apple Watch Ultra 3 and 2, Apple Watch Series 11, 10, and 9, and Apple Watch SE 3.

A new post on Apple’s Machine Learning Research blog shows how much the M5 Apple silicon improved over the M4 when it comes to running a local LLM.

A bit of contextA couple of years ago, Apple released MLX, which the company describes as “an array framework for efficient and flexible machine learning on Apple silicon”.

Here’s Apple again on MLX:MLX is an open source array framework that is efficient, flexible, and highly tuned for Apple silicon.

MLX makes it easy to generate text with or fine tune of large language models on Apple silicon devices.

In a nutshell, first token inference is compute-bound, while subsequent token generation is memory-bound.

Today: the possible end of the Mac Pro, iPhone Fold’s battery capacity, and more powerful iPhone cases.

No new Mac Pro expected in 2026, and possibly beyondFor at least the second time in the last decade, the future of the Mac Pro looks bleak.

My takeawaysI’m not the target customer for the Mac Pro, but I’m very curious to see how this news is received by the average Mac Pro user.

Now with Apple silicon, the Mac Studio, and improved Mac clustering features in macOS 26.2, perhaps it’s okay for the Mac Pro to quietly disappear.

iPhone cases with touch featuresLeaker Instant Digital shared a curious post this week about Apple’s plans for future iPhone cases.

In an interview on CNBC’s “Money Movers” earlier today, Liberty Media CEO Derek Chang discussed what the newly announced partnership with Apple may mean for F1, as well as Apple’s possible plans for the future.

With group chats, ChatGPT users can create a shared conversation space and invite friends, family, or coworkers.

Group chats are separate from private conversations, and OpenAI says that the group creator's personal ChatGPT memory is never shared with anyone in the chat.

Group chats are aggregated in a clearly-labeled section of the sidebar, separate from personal chats.

Group chats are available to all logged-in users on free, Go, Plus, and Pro ChatGPT plans.

Google today announced the launch of Nano Banana Pro, an image generation model that is a followup to the Nano Banana model that came out earlier this year.

Nano Banana Pro is built on Gemini 3 Pro, Google's latest and most advanced AI model.

With the launch of Nano Banana Pro, Google is giving Gemini the ability to tell if an image was generated with Google AI.

Nano Banana Pro is also available for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in AI mode in Search.

Google is making Nano Banana Pro available for companies that use Google Ads, and developers can use it through the Gemini API and Google AI Studio.

Earlier today, Google made a surprise announcement that the Quick Share file transfer feature on Pixel 10 smartphones was able to work with AirDrop, enabling first-party file sharing between Android devices and Apple devices.

Typically, Apple and Google work together on cross-platform features, but it turns out that Apple had no involvement this time.

Google created the Quick Share to AirDrop interoperability on its own, and apparently sprung it on Apple with a public announcement.

Apple is also facing more intense regulatory pressure than it was even two years ago, so it might not want to kill the cross-platform file sharing feature.

File sharing was implemented with an interoperability la…

Apple is teaming up with the iconic Spanish soccer team Real Madrid on two projects that promise to provide an ultimate viewing experience for fans.

First, Apple will be releasing a new documentary about Real Madrid on the Vision Pro next year, according to GQ España.

The documentary will be in the Apple Immersive format, meaning it will be a 180-degree 8K recording with Spatial Audio.

There is already a "Real Madrid: Until The End" documentary available on the Apple TV streaming service, but it was not shot in the Apple Immersive format.

Apple is also working on a second, bigger project that Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez refers to as "Infinite Bernabéu."

Apple and Google have teamed up for a new cross-platform feature that allows for file sharing between iPhone and Android users.

With AirDrop on the ‌iPhone‌ and QuickShare on Pixel 10 devices, there is a new file transfer function available.

The file sharing option works on Apple devices that include ‌iPhone‌, iPad, and Mac, along with the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Fold.

With that setting enabled, a file coming from an Android user looks identical to an AirDrop file from an ‌iPhone‌ user, featuring the same notification and tap to accept option.

For file transfers in both directions, the Apple device or the Pixel 10 device displays the other person's device name …

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

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

leading = leading () self .

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

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

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

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

id = id self .

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

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

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

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

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

func decode( from data: Dat…

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

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

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

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

header = header () self .

close () } return try connection.

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

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

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

id ] = task return try await task.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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).

Но как извлечь из этого реальную пользу?На открытом уроке мы покажем, как применять нейросети в реальной разработке. Разберём, как использовать LLM (Deepseek, Qwen, Ollama), интегрировать их в Xcode и Roocode, а также работать с новыми AI-возможностями iOS 18: Vision и Neural Engine.После урока вы поймёте, как эффективно внедрять ИИ в повседневную разработку и как использовать LLM для генерации, тестирования и оптимизации кода. Урок будет полезен iOS-разработчикам всех уровней, инженерам, которые хотят шагнуть в сторону AI-интеграций, и тем, кто строит карьеру в мобильной разработке.27 ноябр…

Про жест MagnifyGesturePinch to zoom жест появился в SwiftUI еще с iOS 17. В целом в работе с ним нет ничего сложного, не считая одного момента – хотите ли вы сохранить масштаб после того, как жест закончился, или вернуть все в исходное состояние. В статье разбирается, как лучше всего обрабатывать жест в обоих случаях.

Антиплагиатные правила в App StoreApp Review Guidelines недавно дополнили новыми правилами, направленными на борьбу с плагиатом:a) Come up with your own ideas. We know you have them, so make yours come to life. Don’t simply copy the latest popular app on the App Store, or make some minor changes to another app’s name or UI and pass it off as your own. In addition to risking an intellectual property infringement claim, it makes the App Store harder to navigate and just isn’t fair to your fellow developers.(b) Submitting apps which impersonate other apps or services is considered a violation of the Developer Code of Conduct and may result in removal from the Apple Developer Program.

Podlodka Soft Skills Crew — сезон про умение ошибаться. Ошибки бывают у всех — от джунов до CTO. Но мы редко задумываемся, что именно в них и есть потенциал для роста.С 24 по 28 ноября Podlodka Crew проведёт новый сезон конференции Soft Skills Crew: о том, как перестать бояться ошибок, признавать их спокойно и использовать на пользу себе и команде.📌 В программе:• Баги в голове: когнитивные искажения, которые мешают учиться на ошибках (Никита Ульшин, Positive Technologies)• Как решиться на изменения: страх ошибок и рациональное мышление (Ольга Чадулина)• Факап в одну строку кода: реальный кейс Сбера и уроки из него (Георгий Рыпалов, Сбер)• Мастерство обратной связи: как говорить о промахах, …

Новое интервью с ЛаттнеромВот два интересных факта оттуда:👉В течение первых полутора лет, Крис разрабатывал Swift в тайне от всех по ночам и выходным.👉Менеджеры Apple вообще не заинтересовались Swift после первой презентации, и не понимали, зачем нужен новый язык, когда дома уже есть Objective-C.А если вы предпочитаете видео, то вот ссылка на YouTube.

Как работает Language DiscoveryЯ пропустил, что в iOS 26 появилась интересная фича – теперь предпочитаемый пользователем язык можно спрашивать не старым методом:let userLanguages = Locale.preferredLanguagesА новым, с помощью фреймворка Language Discovery. В чем суть – система следит за тем, какие языки пользователь использует в разных ситуациях: для ввода текста, при потреблении контента, в различных приложениях. И про предпочитаемые локали можно получить очень много информации – в том числе про RTL, currency code, и другие штуки.

Находим SwiftUI View, которые обновляются чаще всегоВ Xcode 26 в Instruments добавили новую полезную фичу – профилировщик, который замеряет информацию про обновления вьюх: их количество и время. Но что еще интереснее – он показывает граф того, что вызвало каждое из обновлений.

Опрос про то, как вы разрабатываете UIМне для небольшого пет-проекта очень важно собрать с вас немного информации про то, как вы подходите к разработке UI – что вас в таких задачах больше всего раздражает, что нравится, и как вы при этом используете AI инструменты (если используете их вообще).А среди всех, кто заполнит опрос, разыграю сертификат в Ozon. Опрос открыт до сегодняшнего вечера, результаты горят, так что можете потратить пять минут прямо сейчас, и начнете день с прекрасного полезного дела!

Swift на FreeBSDНе очень представляю, кому это важно (наверное, какое-то количество серверов все еще не перешли на Linux), но все же новость – вышла бета поддержка тулчейна Swift для операционной системы FreeBSD.

Обновления App Store Review Process👉Теперь можно отправлять на ревью новые версии приложения, даже если предыдущая версия его еще не прошла. Например, пока ревьюится новая мажорная версия, вы можете заливать хотфикс критического бага.👉Лимиты на кастомные страницы подняли в два раза до 70 штук. При этом каждой из них теперь можно задавать свои кейворды.👉Механизм промо-кодов будут отключать, вместо них – offer codes, которые работают и с внутренними покупками, и с подписками.

Новая версия Swift VS Code extensionЕсли вы все еще не попробовали переехать на VS Code, сейчас отличное время попробовать официальный экстеншн. В новом релизе:👉Добавили онбординг для новых пользователей, чтобы им было проще вкатываться👉Интегрировали swiftly для менеджмента версий тулчейна👉Поправили кучу багов

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

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

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

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

Former Apple engineers built an AI-powered IDE that runs entirely on your iPhone. You can chat with an agent to create Swift apps, and thanks to an embedded Swift interpreter, it compiles everything on-device.The wild part? You can instantly push your build to TestFlight from the app. Super cool… but also, why?Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUlWhF3ERMEhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45041185#AI

Turns out it’s not just you struggling with trailing whitespace when using Claude Code — it’s an actual bug. Many thought it was about misconfigured CLAUDE.md or ignored instructions, but nope, the model just loves leaving those extra spaces. 🫠There’s a neat way to handle this using built-in hooks. Configure a PostToolUse hook to run SwiftLint, and it will automatically clean up trailing whitespace after each action. No manual cleanup needed.https://samwize.com/2025/08/25/how-to-fix-claude-code-trailing-whitespace-problem-for-swift/#LLM

I bet these keywords still haunt your dreams. Let’s finally break them down — once and for all. 😱https://fatbobman.com/en/posts/sendable-sending-nonsending#concurrency #swift

Not many devs know about the git worktree feature, but it’s seriously a game changer when you’re juggling different tasks — no need to clone your repo multiple times. Especially useful now when working with LLM agents. So, give it a try, it’ll save you a lot of hassle!https://blog.kulman.sk/git-worktree/#git

In SwiftUI, we often use elements without thinking much about how they actually work. Usually, this isn’t a problem, but sometimes understanding the implementation details helps explain unexpected behaviors. This knowledge can also come in handy during interviews, where such questions occasionally pop up.In this article, the author takes a closer look at how Namespace works under the hood and why these details might matter.p.s. If you’re interested in similar deep dives, the author also has an article about the Spacer in SwiftUI.https://kyleye.top/posts/swiftui-namespace#SwiftUI
