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 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.

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.

Announcing Swift Homomorphic Encryption July 30, 2024We’re excited to announce a new open source Swift package for homomorphic encryption in Swift: swift-homomorphic-encryption.

Homomorphic EncryptionAs mentioned above, homomorphic encryption enables computation on encrypted data without decryption or access to the decryption key.

The Swift implementation of homomorphic encryption implements the Brakerski-Fan-Vercauteren (BFV) HE scheme (https://eprint.iacr.org/2012/078, https://eprint.iacr.org/2012/144).

Hey everyone i'm developping an app and currently don't have a mac. I thought i would be okay since expo eas manage the build for me but it seems i still need a recent version of XCode in order to implement sign in with apple, what are my options ? I've seen some companies that rents mac that i can access remotely which one can i use ? submitted by /u/TwitsTeen [link] [comments]

I'm creating an app that would fall into the Health/Safety space. Have a good amount of capital available for it to hire a team. I have a deep product management background and am fairly technical for a non-developer, but none of my experience is in mobile app development. There is some backing of investment and reputation that, from an Apple review perspective, could make the app appear fairly credible (probably important given the data we want to use). The app needs to be able to very regularly access data (while remaining almost exclusively in the background) on how the device is being used. For example: has the phone moved substantially (accelerometer/gyro data ideal but pedometer/steps…

My mobile app will be released soon. Which advertising services do you use to promote your app? In your opinion, which one is the most cost-effective and easiest to use?

Hi! RevenueCat CEO here. As soon as the Epic v Apple ruling dropped we started working on a test using our large in-house spicy audiobook app (long story). Data is early, but we see a pretty heavy drop in conversion rate for purchases made via the web with Apple pay, as about as slick as it can be. Error bars are still kind of wide, but we can say pretty confidently it's dropped conversions by 25%-45%. Enough to wipe out any gains by sidestepping the 30% fee. Dipsea averages about 6% in fees to Stripe before taxes, which Apple includes in their 30/15% fee. Definitely worth testing on your own app as every app has a different user base, but it's clear there are real conversion benefits to us…

After years of just playing around with app and web development, I finally took the plunge and built my first real macOS app. It's nothing groundbreaking, but it solved a problem I had, so I thought others might find it useful too. What is it? Adesto is a super simple menu bar app that simulates tiny mouse movements to keep your Microsoft Teams status active when you step away from your computer. Why I made it: Working remotely, I got tired of constantly appearing "Away" on Teams whenever I needed to grab coffee or think away from my desk. My manager would message me the second I went yellow, so I built this to keep me green! The journey: Learning Swift and SwiftUI was definitely a challeng…

I was curious about your app’s progression and especially for those that got some from good traction later. Basically from app launch to when it got its first let’s say 100, 1000, 5000, 10000 downloads? Same to say in the column next to it, when did it make its first $100, $1000, $10000, etc. Finally what kind of pre marketing and post marketing did you all do? Just curious on expectations submitted by /u/RunnerInChicago [link] [comments]

I have 3 years of experience in ios dev and I have mostly just worked with companies. Lately I have been making personal apps but I haven't deployed them to app store yet because I haven't bought a membership yet. I am just worried of wasting money on a membership if my my apps keep getting rejected. My question is how often do apps get rejected from app store. submitted by /u/Leading-Coat-2600 [link] [comments]

I developed an app which is heavily relies on MusicKit usage. It's an app about looking for new releases from favorite artists. So the main feature of the app assumes to show album artworks on the main page of the app. I've got a rejection by App Store team because I use copyrighted materials on screenshots. Well... There's like lots of apps which is probably did not get any written approval for usage but the app still in the market. I have a few labels in contacts that can give me that permission, but why is this even a topic? Seeing other indie devs using Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars for promo purposes is ok and I'm sure they don't have that permission, why me? :D Anyone had this issue? How you …

I have a few wireframes I drew a while back and was thinking it was enough to start building from or should I redesign my idea in something like figma or adobeXD? How long does it take to learn? How many screens do you start with? Is it better to go with an interactive mockup? submitted by /u/WynActTroph [link] [comments]

Currently using Supabase solely just for the Auth feature and I'm using it like a normal Postgres DB on the backend I'm thinking it's a bit of a waste of $20/month. I've seen a few roll your own auth solutions on Node like BetterAuth and Auth.JS and of course web frameworks like Rails ship with them. I've have not found a generic Swift Auth client that works with JWT tokens and stores in keychain though, curious if anyone has a library or just example code for reference. submitted by /u/dexterleng [link] [comments]

Hi team, I submitted my first iOS app for review and rejected it myself TWICE (status changed from "Waiting for Review" to "Developer Rejected" after 8+ hours). I made stupid mistake TWICE in my prod server and the app that's why I had to do this. 😞 I am being careful now and planning to do an external test via Testflight release first. My question is, will this be seen as a bad thing by the App Store Review team? I mean, has anyone done that before? 😬 submitted by /u/centamilon [link] [comments]

I’m gearing up to do iOS/Android mobile app development and trying to decide which MacBook to get. I want something powerful enough to handle frequent builds, emulators, and code editors without annoying slowdowns, but I’d also like to keep costs reasonable. I'm unsure of when the specs become more than necessary based on my use-case. Like prioritizing more RAM versus storage, or what the sweet spot is. My budget is around $1600 but I can try to play with more wiggle room only if it makes sense to. I will not be gaming on this laptop. Here’s what I’m looking at: Processor: Apple’s latest chips (M4 vs M4 Pro) RAM: 16 GB minimum, up to 24 GB if it makes sense Storage: At least 512 GB SSD Has …

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.

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

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.

Issue 699 14th February 2025 Written by Dave VerwerIs running a business on the App Store getting too complicated?

You now have the choice whether you’d like to sell outside the App Store in the EU, which is not a trivial decision at all.

Some of it is the mobile app industry growing up.

Part of me longs for the early days of the App Store, when it was all so much simpler.

I played with the TestFlight beta of his Xogot app this week.

Even using an external keyboard, which I’d say is essential for an app like this, I struggled.

I want to be clear that this is not Miguel’s fault – it’s a well-designed iPad app.

It’s more that I have always struggled with using an iPad for productivity tasks.

Tools like Xogot and the evolution of Swift Playgrounds into Xcode for iPad could be the future of software development.

iOS 18 brought a major change to Apple’s Calendar app: you can now see all your reminders alongside calendar events.

Today, Brazilian antitrust regulator CADE voted unanimously to maintain a provisional measure issued last week requiring Apple to loosen restrictions on how iOS developers offer services and handle payments in their apps.

The measure stems from an investigation launched in 2022 following a complaint by Latin American e-commerce giant Mercado Libre.

According to CADE’s technical staff, this violates Brazil’s competition laws by limiting choice and disadvantaging developers.

It also affirms that Apple must allow alternative payment methods and offer greater freedom in how developers communicate with users.

He described Apple’s approach as a form of “tying strategy” that distorts competition b…

In my experience, while eye tracking is generally “good enough” in current software, there’s definitely room for improvement.

The latest details revealed this week should prompt a lot of instant upgrades when iOS 19 launches this fall.

New iOS 19 design won’t be its only selling pointAnyone who has been following iOS 19 rumors closely will know that the most exciting upgrade coming is a big UI redesign.

Ever since iOS 7 completely overhauled the iPhone’s design, users have wondered when Apple might have another big redesign ready.

Better battery life and fewer bugs sounds like a winning combo to sell just about anyone on iOS 19’s merits.

Between the new design, better battery life, and potentially fewer bugs, iOS 19 could offer three extremely enticing reasons to upgrade.

The tradition dates all the way back to the beginning of Mac OS X with its big cat names like Leopard, and Apple shifted to California-themed names with the unveiling of OS X Mavericks in 2013.

Over time, some of the trademarks like Yosemite, Sierra, Mojave, Monterey, Mojave, Ventura, Sonoma, and Sequoia were indeed used as macOS names, while trademark applications for other names were abandoned.

Apple has still proceeded to use some of the names with abandoned trademark filings as macOS names, such as Big Sur in 2020.

So, there is still a possibility that macOS 16 will use one of the names that Apple had filed to protect many years ago.

Here is a list of the remaining macOS name possibilit…

Today we're tracking a handful of Apple accessory discounts on Amazon, including an all-time low price for the Apple Pencil Pro and a solid deal on the AirTag 4-Pack.

Neither deal requires a coupon code this time around, as both have been applied automatically by Amazon.

Starting with the Apple Pencil Pro, you can get this accessory for $99.00, down from $129.00.

This is a match for the record low price on the Apple Pencil Pro, and it's a deal that doesn't typically stick around long on Amazon, so if you've been waiting for it to return, be sure to check it out soon.

Secondly, Amazon has the AirTag 4-Pack for $79.98, down from $99.00.

The Apple TV 4K (second- and third-generation) is capable of relaying audio from a compatible TV to a HomePod – even when you're not using your Apple TV.

The second- and third-generation Apple TV 4K supports two additional connection standards, called ARC and eARC.

On Apple TV 4K, ARC and eARC support effectively allows a HomePod or HomePod mini (or stereo-paired Homepods in a Home Theater Audio setup) to play audio from other TV-connected devices like a cable box, PS5, or Xbox Series X.

Set Up ARC or eARC on Apple TV 4KMake sure that your TV supports ARC or eARC.

Apple is believed to be developing several technological innovations to mark the 20th anniversary of the iPhone, and one key technology it's considering is Mobile High Bandwidth Memory (HBM), according to a report from ETNews.

It's primarily used in AI servers today, and is often referred to as AI memory due to its ability to support AI processing alongside GPUs.

Apple is looking to enhance on-device AI capabilities, and ETNews reports that connecting mobile HBM to the iPhone's GPU units is being considered as a strong candidate for achieving this goal.

Samsung is reportedly using a packaging approach called VCS (Vertical Cu-post Stack), while SK hynix is working on a method called VFO (Ver…

Apple is reportedly considering a radical redesign for the 20th anniversary iPhone that could feature a completely bezel-less display that curves around all four edges of the device, claims a new report out of Korea.

Bloomberg previously reported that the device would be a Pro model in Apple's 2027 lineup.

The new display technology is said to be part of Apple's broader push toward next-generation hardware for the commemorative iPhone.

The report also claims that Apple's 20th anniversary iPhone could include pure silicon batteries instead of graphite-based ones for increased energy density.

Apple is expected to begin discussions with OLED suppliers Samsung Display and LG Display about imple…

Apple continues to gradually expand its direct iPhone sales to consumers, but most U.S. buyers still get their devices through carriers like Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile.

In 2015, carriers already claimed 75% of U.S. iPhone sales, while Apple's share stood at 11%.

Apple has crept up, but mostly gained share from third-party retailers, whose role in smartphone sales continues to shrink.

Apple has steadily refined its direct-to-consumer efforts through the iPhone Upgrade Program and a streamlined online store.

U.S. smartphone sales declined 2% year-over-year in the first quarter of 2025, with the premium segment falling even faster.

The 20th-anniversary iPhone stands to offer a major jump forward in on-device processing, with memory changes potentially increasing AI response speeds in leaps and bounds.

According to sources of ETNews, Apple is seriously considering the possibility of adding mobile high-bandwidth memory (HBM) to its 2027 iPhone range.

This would include the 20th-anniversary iPhone, which is expected to include other display and battery changes.

In the case of Apple, reports surfaced in December about Apple working with Samsung on faster memory for the iPhone.

With AI having high processing requirements, and therefore power, any savings or other battery improvements will inevitably help make the model's A…

Apple's 20th-anniversary model of iPhone is in development, with screen and battery changes expected for the milestone model.

For its 2027 release, which marks the 20th anniversary of the iPhone, the company has started to make preparations for the special smartphone.

That model used an edge-to-edge OLED display, and switched out Touch ID and a physical Home button in favor of Face ID.

Supply chain talks with LG Display and Samsung Display, Apple's chief screen supply chain partners, are expected soon to discuss the tech changes.

While ET News doesn't have a great track record when it comes to identifying product specifications, it does still fare well when it comes to supply chain stories.

As iPhone sales in China continue to decline, two of the country's biggest online retailers are offering discounts of up to $350 on certain models.

While sales are rare in the US, to say the least, Apple or local resellers have regularly offered iPhone discounts in China.

It will be because iPhone sales continue to decline in the country, but also because China has key shopping seasons, including "618" in June.

Coincidentally, it is also selling a 256GB iPhone 16 for the same price, which is around $212 below retail price.

Alibiba's Tmall marketplace is selling the 128GB iPhone 16 Pro for fractionally more at around $763.

The Dynamic Island could lose one of its cutouts with iPhone 18 ProDisplay industry vet Ross Young shared information suggesting iPhone 18 Pro models are indeed going to get under-display Face ID, but selfie cameras will still be visible for now.

Under-display Face ID is one of those rumors that started the minute the technology arrived and has been repeated frequently, even recently.

The dreaded notch followed by the compromise that was the Dynamic Island both exist as a result of Face ID needing screen space.

According to former Display Supply Chain CEO, current VP of Counterpoint Research, Ross Young, Apple is set to put Face ID components under the display with iPhone 18 Pro in 2026.

Apple remains focused on artificial intelligence research, and two newly published papers offer insight about the direction future AI features might take.

Apple's Matrix3D model steamlines the photogrammetry process.

The Matrix3D model, meanwhile, only needs two or three images for the same output, greatly reducing the requirements for photogrammetry.

Apple's StreamBridge model acts as video-capable assistant.

Other tech companies have released video AI tools of their own, which also aim to offer instructions based on video input.

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.

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.

Understanding how data structures and algorithms work in code is crucial for creating efficient and scalable apps and acing job interviews.

Swift’s standard library and, more recently, the Swift Collections and Algorithms packages contain a robust set of general-purpose collection types and algorithms, yet they don’t cover every case!

In Data Structures and Algorithms in Swift, you’ll learn how to implement the most popular and useful data structures and when and why you should use one particular data structure or algorithm over another.

This set of basic data structures and algorithms will serve as an excellent foundation for building more complex and special-purpose constructs.

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.
