To support this, the age rating questionnaire in App Store Connect now includes questions about your app’s social media capabilities.

A social media capability is defined as the ability to redistribute, amplify, or interact with user-generated content through a social feed or similar discovery method.

The Time Allowance category for Social Media is based on whether your app or game offers social media capabilities, regardless of the app category selected in App Store Connect.

Apps with these capabilities will display a new Social Media content descriptor on their App Store product page.

If you indicate that your app or game includes social media capabilities but they are disabled for anyone…

Attachment 12 of the Apple Developer Program License Agreement has been revised to specify terms for iOS apps in Brazil, including alternative distribution, alternative payments and out-of-app offers, and the Core Technology Commission.

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

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

As part of a recent agreement with Brazil’s competition regulator CADE (Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Econômica), Apple is introducing changes to iOS that create new options for developers' apps in Brazil.

Beginning with iOS 26.5, developers can distribute apps on alternative app marketplaces, operate alternative app marketplaces, process app payments for digital goods and services outside of Apple In-App Purchase in iOS, and more.

The new options for downloading apps from alternative app marketplaces and making app payments open new avenues for malware, fraud, scams, and privacy and security risks.

Those protections include Notarization for iOS apps, an authorization process for app ma…

Later this summer, Apple will unify the email domains used by Sign in with Apple and iCloud+ Hide My Email under a single, shared domain: private.icloud.com.

When we introduced the Image Playground framework, we included the ImageCreator class as a way for apps to generate images programmatically using the on-device image generation model.

Apps using ImageCreator will not function in TestFlight builds and will cause a runtime error.

The Apple Developer Program License Agreement and App Review Guidelines have been revised to support new features, updated policies, and to provide clarification.

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

Apple Developer Program License AgreementSections 3.1, 14.8: Specified requirements for providing information and responding to questions about developer identity, including in the context of export compliance.

Definitions, Section 3.3.3(Q): Specified requirements for use of the Suggested Actions API.

Section 3.2(h): Updated terms for use of and access to Apple models.

Due to a recent court ruling lifting an injunction on Texas law SB 2420, new Apple Accounts in Texas are now subject to the law, which introduced age assurance requirements for app marketplaces and developers.

Parents or guardians will also be able to revoke their consent for any app they previously approved for their child.

Developers can request age category data for these Apple Accounts through the Declared Age Range API.

For significant changes, developers should use the Significant Change API under the PermissionKit framework.

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

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

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

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

Dave Lester is a Senior Product Manager at Apple and member of the Swift website workgroup.

Since its launch, Swift Package Index has become an essential part of the Swift ecosystem, helping developers discover quality packages, evaluate compatibility, and make informed decisions about dependencies.

Recently, Swift Package Index has grown alongside the Swift project’s multi-platform expansion, extending its compatibility testing to encompass Linux, Android, and WebAssembly.

Today, Swift Package Index announced that it has joined Apple and continues its mission:Together, we’re building a comprehensive package registry to serve the Swift community’s evolving needs.

Font parsers process data from untrusted sources, making the TrueType hinting interpreter a security-critical attack surface.

In addition to memory safety, we also improved performance: on average, our Swift interpreter runs 13% faster than the C interpreter it replaced.

To accompany this post, we’ve also published the source code of the Swift TrueType hinting interpreter.

On average, the Swift interpreter runs 13% faster than the C interpreter it replaced.

The Swift Ecosystem Steering Group is excited to announce the creation of the Networking workgroup!

The primary goal is to guide the evolution of networking libraries, protocols, and APIs in the Swift ecosystem, making networking in Swift excellent everywhere: high-level and safe by default, modular and interoperable, cross-platform, and observable.

The new Networking workgroup joins a growing list of Swift workgroups, including the Android workgroup, Windows workgroup, and Build and Packaging workgroup, which were all added in the past year.

Learn more about the Networking workgroup by reading its charter.

To start, we’re focusing on some of the many local meetup groups sharing Swift content:Around the world, local meetup groups and conferences bring Swift developers together, and some even predate Swift itself!

In May the SF Swift meetup hosted a talk by Dan Federman, Agentify Your Swift Repo, which covers building an agent for CI and review feedback.

I encourage more folks to get involved in their local Swift meetup.

Sébastien Stormacq shares a great introduction to what’s possible with AWS Lambda and Swift, presenting Swift, Server-side, & Serverless on the DevStandup YouTube channel.

Swift EvolutionThe Swift project adds new language features through the Swift Evolution process.

Yuta Saito is a Software Engineer at Goodnotes, working on WebAssembly platform support in Swift.

This isn’t because we carefully reimplemented the same algorithms twice: it’s because it’s literally the same Swift code running on both platforms.

Technical architectureGoodnotes Architecture: Shared Swift code between iOS and Web platforms.

You can debug Swift code directly in Chrome DevTools: set breakpoints, inspect variables, and step through your Swift code as naturally as JavaScript.

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

If you’re building server-side Swift and need a fast key-value store, add valkey-swift via Swift Package Manager, and you’re ready to go.

swift-tar is a pure Swift library for reading, writing, and extracting TAR archives.

Swift EvolutionThe Swift project adds new language features through the Swift Evolution process.

However, shipping in an external package means the standard library, Swift runtime, and toolchain libraries such as Foundation cannot depend on it.

You can now write Swift in a broader range of popular IDEs, including Cursor, VSCodium, AWS’s Kiro, and Google’s Antigravity.

By leveraging VS Code extension compatibility, these editors tap directly into the Open VSX Registry, where the official Swift extension is now live.

This milestone brings Swift support, including code completion, refactoring, full debugging support, a test explorer, as well as DocC support, to a broader ecosystem of compatible editors and allows agentic IDEs like Cursor and Antigravity to automatically install Swift, with no manual download required.

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

Last year we shared our goal to bring Swift Build to Swift Package Manager, in an effort to deduplicate build technologies within the Swift ecosystem and deliver a consistent build experience across all platforms that Swift supports.

Most recently, the main branch of Swift started using Swift Build as its default build system, paving the way for Swift Build to be the out-of-the-box option for Swift developers in a future Swift release.

For a full list of language evolution proposals in Swift 6.3, see the Swift Evolution dashboard.

The list of Swift Testing evolution proposals included in Swift 6.3 are ST-0012, ST-0013, ST-0014, ST-0015, ST-0016, ST-0017, and ST-0020.

For a detailed look at what’s new in embedded Swift, see Embedded Swift Improvements coming in Swift 6.3.

With this SDK, you can start developing native Android programs in Swift, update your Swift packages to support building for Android, and use Swift Java and Swift Java JNI Core to integrate Swift code into existing Android applications written in Kotlin/Java.

You can find instructions for installing a Swift 6.3 toolchain on the Install Swift page.

TelemetryDeck is an app analytics service specifically for developers, designed to manage usage analytics that are anonymized, privacy-focused, and really easy to use.

Adopting Swift for backend servicesTelemetryDeck is built on Vapor, a web framework written in Swift, for building scalable APIs and services.

Under the hood, a Swift Vapor project is just a Swift Package with some dependencies.

Your Swift Vapor service is almost never the bottleneck.

Although profiling Swift code is easy, most slowdowns in a web service will arise from a combination of database, storage, and traffic load.

Welcome to this edition of “What’s New in Swift,” where we share interesting projects and updates in the Swift community that deserve visibility to a broader audience.

👋 I help grow and support the Swift open source community, and one of my favorite things has been increasing Swift’s participation in open source events.

FOSDEM may be over (for now), but I’m already excited about how the Swift community will show up next year!

AuthorsKaren Chu focuses on Swift's open source community initiatives as part of Apple's Open Source Program Office.

Vladimir Kukushkin works on foundational Swift server libraries at Apple, and is a maintainer of Swift System Metrics.

We are excited to announce the 1.0 release of Swift System Metrics, a Swift package that collects process-level system metrics like CPU utilization time and memory usage.

Swift System Metrics is part of a larger set of packages that provide an end-to-end solution for integrating metrics into your Swift applications and services.

Once system metrics are collected, they’re reported to Swift Metrics, a backend-agnostic metrics API that can work with popular backends like Prometheus and OpenTelemetry.

For this edition of “What’s new in Swift,” we invited a developer to share their experience:Hi, I’m Nick Sloan.

We chose Swift for Studioworks because of how easy it is to write safe and reliable code with great performance.

Our Swift project makes use of Hummingbird 2, Soto (for its incredible DynamoDB Codable support), Hummingbird MacroRouting, and Elementary.

We’ve been deploying web applications with PHP and Python for decades, and getting started with a Swift web project was certainly a bit slower.

Swift on the web has been a resounding success for us, and I hope we’ll see this part of the community continue to grow!

We are excited to announce the creation of the Windows workgroup!

The new Windows workgroup joins a growing list of Swift workgroups, including the Android workgroup, Build and Packaging workgroup, and Testing workgroup which were all added in the past year.

The workgroup will build upon these efforts and focus on work to:Improve and maintain Windows support for the official Swift distribution.

Identify and recommend best practices for bridging between Swift and the Windows API, and for shipping Swift libraries with Windows applications.

I want to test the durability and shareability of App Clips via URL. I know that there are several examples of App Clips online and you can locally test your App Clip, but I'm specifically wondering if social media websites will block people from sending my app clip to their friends.

I'm building a clipboard app where devices on the same Wi-Fi sync directly to each other. On iOS that is NWListener and NWBrowser over Bonjour. This is the failure mode that cost me the most time, and it produces no error at all. What happens when the user denies Local Network permission: nothing. Neither object fails. Neither hands you an error. Both simply sit in .waiting, indefinitely. Your app reports a clean start and then never discovers a single peer, forever. That state is indistinguishable from "you are the only device on this network", which is a completely normal thing to be. You cannot just treat .waiting as denial, because it is also the ordinary state while an interface is com…

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

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

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

I was looking back through my inbox to see how long I’ve been reading it, and the earliest issue I could find was Issue #97 from June 1, 2013.

🤯Anyway, a bit about myself… I’m an iOS engineer based in Melbourne, Australia.

It’s really a desktop Safari automation tool, but since iOS Safari uses the same WebKit engine, you can point it at your site with a mobile-sized viewport to catch layout/CSS issues before they hit an iPhone.

It can’t actually drive the Simulator or a real device though, so it’s more of a quick proxy check than true iOS testing.

Issue 749 1st May 2026 Written by Dave VerwerI first wrote about Ale Mohamad’s idea of a marketplace for Swift playgrounds in early 2025, when Swift Playgrounds removed its subscriptions functionality.

At that time, he had created a playgrounds section on his site, allowing a selection of playgrounds to be downloaded.

He has built a proper community-driven index site for Swift playgrounds.

It’s based on the same JSON feed that Apple designed, meaning if you had playgrounds content prepared for the Playgrounds app, it’ll seamlessly import into his site.

Security researchers have discovered a problem with Apple’s iCloud Private Relay service.

While the feature is meant to protect your real IP address, it might actually be leaking it to websites.

A new iCloud Private Relay problemThis iCloud Private Relay vulnerability was discovered by security researchers Tommy Mysk and Talal Haj Bakry, who detailed the problem in-depth on their website.

“In short: any website that supports, or pretends to support, passkeys can see the user’s real IP address despite having iCloud Private Relay on,” they say.

The destination server sees the device’s real IP address either way,” the researchers write in their research.

iPadOS 27 launches next month, with new features in apps like Notes, Messages, Calendar, Mail, and more.

Here are a couple of systemwide iPadOS 27 features I’ve been loving.

iOS 27 continues Apple’s trend of giving you more control over the design of your iPhone’s Lock Screen.

As seen above, the Extend feature also comes to the Lock Screen in iOS 27.

For many people, though, the point of the Lock Screen is to show off wallpapers, and iOS 27 makes that even easier.

Swipe away the Now Playing widgetWith iOS 27, you can now swipe away the Now Playing widget that appears on your iPhone’s Lock Screen.

Apple’s first foldable iPhone is coming very soon, and based on rumors about the product, it sounds very much deserving of the ‘iPhone Ultra’ name.

The foldable iPhone has commonly been called ‘iPhone Fold,’ but I’ve long believed Apple will go a different naming direction, like iPhone Ultra or iPhone Duo.

iPhone Ultra will lack the Telephoto camera that iPhone 18 Pro offers, and battery life might be worse than iPhone 18 Pro Max.

iPhone Ultra will offer the largest screen ever on an iPhone.

Essentially, iPhone Ultra will take the core experience of using an iPhone and make it feel ‘Ultra.’ Bigger, better, and more capable.

Those deals join this M5 Pro MacBook Pro at $500 off (that’s $100 under the pre price-hike MSRP) as well as this Apple Watch Series 11 model at $150 off, Apple Watch SE 3 at up to $80 off, Apple Watch Ultra 3 at up to $130 off, and the ongoing Best Buy August Back to School sale.

Amazon is currently offering the 14-inch M5 Pro MacBook Pro with 24GB of RAM and the 2TB internal storage at $2,499 shipped still.

Another interesting comparison is to the official Apple refurb store, it is charging $50 more than Amazon for this same machine in refurbished condition.

Amazon is now offering the Natural Apple Watch Ultra 3 with the Blue/Bright Blue Trail Loop down at $669.97 shipped.

Amazon is now on…

iOS 27 gives the Messages app a variety of new features and improvements.

And based on my time with the beta, Messages’ best new feature is a convenient time-saver: one-tap suggestions.

Meta today launched Muse Code, a terminal coding agent available for macOS and Linux.

Muse Code is in beta, and it is powered by Muse Spark 1.2, ‌Meta‌'s newest model.

‌Meta‌ CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Muse Code can accomplish complete software engineering tasks across large repos.

Muse Code is ‌Meta‌'s equivalent of OpenAI's Codex and Anthropic's Claude Code, and it is ‌Meta‌'s first major push into agentic coding.

Muse Code can be used through the Mac's terminal after a one-command install, and there is no dedicated app available.

Disney could introduce an ad-supported Disney+ free tier in the future, according to comments Disney CEO Josh D'Amaro made during the company's latest earnings call (via The Wrap).

D'Amaro said Disney is considering a free tier that could allow it to reach people unwilling to pay for a subscription, but no launch plans were shared.

And then finally, as you mentioned in your question, a free offering could help us drive top-of-funnel Disney+ subscriber growth.

Disney+ competitors like Apple TV and Netflix don't have a completely free tier, but services like Tubi and The Roku Channel offer free content, as does YouTube.

Disney also signed a deal with TikTok, which will see TikTok creators use…

She added that SpaceX intends to make Starlink a "true mobile service" that will win "quite a few" customers from Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile.

The spectrum will allow SpaceX to expand its direct-to-cell Starlink satellite service to include ground-based infrastructure.

Analysts told Reuters that without an MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator) agreement with a major carrier, it would be extremely difficult for Starlink to compete with AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile.

SpaceX plans to launch its next-generation Starlink Mobile satellites in 2027, and upgraded service that's "100 times better" than current direct-to-cell service is targeted for the end of that year.

Sunbird Messaging today reintroduced its app that brings iMessage to Android users.

Sunbird is now available on the Google Play Store following an early access testing period.

The app allows Android users to send "blue bubble" messages to iPhone users instead of the standard green bubbles.

Back when Sunbird launched, it promised features Android users didn't have, like typing indicators, read receipts, and higher-quality media.

Android users can try the app free for 14 days.

It turns out iCloud Private Relay can expose your real IP to websites that use or pretend to use passkeys.

‌iCloud‌ Private Relay is a service included with paid ‌iCloud‌+ plans.

The request the system sends to the website isn't protected by Private Relay and can leak your IP address.

The destination server sees the device's real IP address either way.

DNS prefetching (added in iOS 26) reveals a user's real DNS servers, while WebTransport (added in iOS 26.4) can reveal an IP address.

Surgeons who wore an Apple Vision Pro as their primary display during a tear duct procedure finished operations 19% faster than surgeons using a traditional monitor, according to a peer-reviewed study by UC San Diego.

The study, published in the journal AJO International (via iPhone in Canada), looked at 32 endoscopic surgeries to clear blocked tear ducts.

In half the cases, surgeons wore Vision Pro headsets that streamed the endoscopic video feed directly into their field of view instead of looking at a monitor across the room, letting them keep a natural forward-facing posture throughout.

Average operative time came in at 34.4 minutes with the Vision Pro, compared to 42.7 minutes with the…

Global foldable smartphone shipments are expected to grow 20% in 2026 compared to last year, with Apple's first entry into the category cited as one of the factors driving the increase, according to industry sources cited by DigiTimes.

The report notes that the broader smartphone market is contending with tighter supply of upstream logic chips and higher memory prices, but says the foldable segment is expected to keep expanding regardless.

Industry sources told the publication that wider foldable designs and Apple's move into foldables are giving the category a further lift.

Apple is expected to unveil its first foldable iPhone alongside the iPhone 18 Pro models this September, and has repo…

The company is working with Savvy Navvy to bring ‌CarPlay‌ and on-water navigation to boaters.

The Savvy Navvy mobile app will integrate with ‌CarPlay‌ to show nautical charts, GPS tracking, smart routing, and live weather forecasts right alongside other ‌CarPlay‌ apps.

"Boaters have been asking for a modern infotainment system for years," says Jelte Liebrand, Founder and CEO of Savvy Navvy.

Savvy Navvy for CarPlay works on iOS and Android with any compatible display.

The Savvy Navvy app is available for ‌CarPlay‌ worldwide starting today, and it works with any compatible ‌CarPlay‌ display, including aftermarket marine head units.

iPhone 18 Pro MaxThe ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ Max is just like the ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌, but bigger.

Multiple rumors indicate the ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ Max will be slightly thicker than the ‌iPhone 17 Pro‌ Max and the ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ because it is slated to get a larger battery.

Both the ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ and the ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ Max could be $100 to $200 more expensive than the ‌iPhone 17 Pro‌ and the ‌iPhone 17 Pro‌ Max.

Telegram was subject to a "takedown extortionist" who planted AI-modified child sexual abuse material (CSAM) to get Apple to remove the app from the App Store, Telegram CEO Pavel Durov said today.

Apple removed Telegram from the App Store for about 40 minutes on Monday night after discovering CSAM, but reinstated the app after Telegram removed the content.

Apple pulled Telegram from the ‌App Store‌ before contacting the company, according to Durov.

After removing Telegram from the ‌App Store‌, Apple said a content review found child sexual abuse material that violated the ‌App Store‌ guidelines.

Apple further said Telegram "promptly removed the content and banned the user," leading to the a…

Apple limited the number of vulnerabilities security researchers can submit to its bug bounty program because of an uptick in reports about fake bugs hallucinated by AI, according to The Financial Times.

Apple said its bug review system was seeing a high volume of poor-quality submissions from amateur bug hunters using AI to locate vulnerabilities.

Bynario found a privilege escalation exploit that could let an attacker get unrestricted access to a Mac, but was unable to report it because Apple limited the number of bug reports Bynario could submit.

AI has overwhelmed Apple because it primarily uses humans to check reports, but Apple too has turned to AI for parsing submissions.

A one-line command in your macOS terminal can get you access to Meta's Muse Code, which aims to be a transparent AI coding tool that can work across large repositories.

According to an announcement post from Meta, Muse Code can take on complex software engineering tasks across large repositories.

To install Muse Code, you'll just need to paste in a single command into Terminal:curl -fsSL https://dev.meta.ai/install.sh | bashOf course, this isn't free.

Those that install Muse Code will start on Meta's contributor tier.

The Muse Code announcement was paired with the release of Muse Spark 1.2, which was trained with coding assistance in mind.

John Ternus will introduce Apple's event in September.

This is to select workers across the country to staff Apple's usual in-person event.

Among expectations for the iPhone Fold and wondering if Apple's paying for the employees to be flown out, some are indicating that they hope it will be a live event.

While a little reminiscing doesn't hurt, the growing expectation of an in-person event with a live component isn't reasonable.

A live presentation under lockdown conditions would've been possible, but the restrictions posed many production problems, let alone for a live stream on the Internet.

However, since its release in 2020, the HomePod mini hasn't had much in the way of updates, save for some new colors.

The existing Siri experience on the HomePod Mini is somewhat lacking, so hopefully Siri AI support will change that.

It may not necessarily have the audio chops of the full-size HomePod, but the HomePod mini can still pack a punch.

Expect HomePod mini 2 to still be powered by a cable.

That could make an appearance before the end of 2026, alongside the HomePod mini.

The Apple Vision Pro has proven to be a useful tool for cataract surgery.

Significantly, the results showed "every participating surgeon preferring the Apple Vision Pro experience."

With the Apple Vision Pro, the two surgeons both had "an immersive, spatially-anchored image... eliminating the need for monitor sharing or body rotation."

They don't dismiss the fact that cost of the Apple Vision Pro is significant even for a hospital.

Apple Vision Pro originally cost from $3,499.

Image credit: SunbirdEven though Apple now supports RCS to let Android users join in iMessage conversations, the risky Sunbird app is back to persuade them to route everything through its servers anyway.

Previously on Sunbird... it was an Android app that let users partake in Apple iMessage conversations without a green bubble, and with myriad security problems.

It came and it went, and then Apple added RCS support so that Android users could do exactly this without the privacy issues.

To back this up, Sunbird quotes survey statistics that say "38% of Android users had missed or misunderstood messages because of the incompatibility."

Apple CarPlay is intended as a way to interact with your iPhone safely through a vehicle's infotainment system.

Announced during the annual dealer meeting of Crest Marine on Tuesday, CarPlay will be an option for the infotainment system for customers of both Crest and Balise Pontoons.

The MasterCraft Boat Holdings brands have partnered with marine navigation app Savvy Navvy to adapt CarPlay for usage on the water.

Customers also get access to Savvy Navvy Premium, which will unlock all the app's features.

Incorporating apps like Savvy Navvy could solve the navigation problem and make CarPlay a possibility for Sea-Doo in the future.

At exactly the same time Apple was making Newton, its spin-off company General Magic was attempting to make a similar device.

Or it would have done, but the planned Newton didn't stay that price for very long.

In May 1990, he and others persuaded John Sculley to spin off that project into the separate General Magic.

Working for General Magic from the start were Porat, Bill Atkinson and Andy Hertzfield.

We thought Apple wasn't doing it and we heard about it from that speech.

Shockwaves from the global RAM and SSD crisis continue to echo through home electronics pricing, and RAM manufacturers are reaping massive profits.

It's been a long time since RAM pricing at retail has been something that we've needed to keep an eye on.

Like Apple, RAM manufacturers are not charities.

In the first quarter of 2026 alone, it hauled in $4.8 billion, and is expected to earn more as the RAM pricing crisis continues.

The RAM suppliers don't want to out-price the market, in the wake of industry corrective measures.

Maybe this scenario has happened to you:You leave your iPhone in your car or sitting in the sun.

When you go to use it, a high temperature warning informs you that your iPhone needs to cool down before you can use it.

If your iPhone is running too hot, stashing it in the refrigerator or freezer would quickly bring it back to safe operating temperatures.

This means you should never leave any of your lithium-ion devices in the car in even moderately hot weather.

Similarly, if your phone feels like it's running hot, avoid charging it until it cools down.

All of which would be why TikTok made a show in 2021 of introducing new safeguards to protect users from harmful content.

Now Bloomberg reports that an internal TikTok report has revealed that these new safety features were intentionally turned off from 10% of users, solely for this test.

Then 15 million Americans who TikTok allowed to be constantly recommended harmful content, included 16-year-old Chase Nasca.

In the case of TikTok, that included directly telling Congress that "safety and wellness, in particular for teens, is a core priority for TikTok."

It's not a company whose actions to protect users, if there even have been any more actions taken, can be believed.

Apple's memory supply woes are going to continue, as suppliers have already sold their entire production capacity of memory at high prices for all of 2027.

According to industry insider sources of DigiTimes on Tuesday, the three major producers of DRAM and HBM have already sold out their production capacity for the entirety of 2027.

On a manufacturer basis, Samsung Electronics, Micron, and SanDisk have sold out of NAND production capacity for the year.

However, memory production capacity hasn't increased at the same rate as the demand for memory.

This led to memory producers arranging for 2027 capacity to be blocked out in advance, with a preference towards major customers.

Ahead of producing the iPhone 18 Pro and the folding iPhone, Apple's main manufacturer Foxconn has announced the greatest monthly earnings in its 52-year history, and says it's all down to AI demand.

In late July 2026, Foxconn began its annual recruitment drive to get enough workers to produce the forthcoming iPhone 18 Pro.

It's this which has prompted price rises in consumer electronics such as Macs and iPads, and is expected to mean iPhones, and just about every other piece of consumer electronics, will be more expensive.

That's partly because the quarter will see the company's manufacturing of the iPhone 18 Pro.

The rest is holiday production of consumer electronics, as it has always bee…

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

Kickstart helps with the rest.

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

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

Instead, Kickstart helps you stay focused on shipping.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

git mv stages the rename but not the editsGit has the promisingly named git mv command, but since Git doesn’t track renames, git mv is mostly no different than doing the renaming in some other way and then staging the change (the deleted and newly created file).

echo "Usage: $0 " exit 1 fi old = " $2 " new = " $1 " # Situation: we renamed $old to $new.

`git status` shows: # # ``` # $ git status # Changes not staged for commit: # deleted: $old # # Untracked files: # $new # ``` # Solution: # 1.

Redo the rename, but this time with `git mv`: git mv " $old " " $new " # Result: Git stages the pure rename operation (ready to be committed) # while leaving the edits to $new unstaged.

Если кратко, то экономии они практически не дают, а тому, что написано на их сайтах, верить вообще не стоит. Из всего этого самым полезным выглядит ponytail, который срезает косты на ~10%.

Как следить за нагревом устройстваЗа крешрейтом следят вообще все, за весом бинарника – существенно меньше людей, а за скоростью запуска совсем мало. Но если все это в ваших дэшбордах уже есть, то можете досыпать туда еще одну метрику – ThermalState, внутри которой кроется оценка Apple того, насколько вашему телефону сейчас плохо. В статье разбирается, что конкретно стоит логировать, помимо самой метрики, и как превратить ее в понятные продуктовые показатели.

Как работает Approachable ConcurrencyЯ не перестаю орать каждый раз, когда вижу название Approachable Concurrency – так полно свое поражение в non-approachable дизайне еще нужно постараться признать. Но не суть – в Swift 6.2 наконец-то выкатили фичи, которые позволяют работать с конкурентностью сильно проще, чем раньше. В статье они разбираются вместе с примерами кода и логов.

HistoryObserver в SwiftDataВ SwiftData появилась нативная фича, позволяющая отслеживать изменения в локальном хранилище, и реализовывать поверх нее логику синхронизации с бэкендом. В статье разбирается, как написать с ее помощью и клиент, и сервер.

Как работает каждый BlendModeРазбор всех 21 BlendMode'ов в SwiftUI с примерами кода и получающихся изображений.

В Claude Code добавили iOS симуляторВ Codex поддержка симулятора появилась уже довольно давно, теперь и Claude Code догнал – точно так же он может запускать симулятор, управлять приложениями в нем и получать доступ к тому, что с ними происходит.

Simbeam – удаленное управление симуляторомДержите простой опенсорсный инструмент для стриминга симулятора, запущенного на вашем локальном маке, прямо в браузер или в отдельное мобильное приложение. Основная цель – чтобы вы могли разрабатывать приложения прямо с телефона или любого другого устройства, но все так же имели возможность быстро потестировать их руками.

SwiftCrossUI – кроссплатформенный десктопный UIНаткнулся на сравнительно свежий проект – кроссплатформенный UI фреймворк для десктопных приложений, вдохновленный синтаксисом SwiftUI. С Windows работает через WinUI, с Linux – через gtk, с macOS – через AppKit.

Опасности нестабильных SwiftUI environment defaultsС помощью макроса Entry мы можем в одну строчку создать кастомный environment value и задать его дефолтное значение. Создавать инстансы классов прямо в макросе – очень плохая идея. В статье разбираемся, почему так.

Foundation Models UtilitiesЯ совсем пропустил, что Apple выпустили дополнительный фреймворк для Foundation Models, добавляющий в ваши приложения поддержку скиллов, истории, и completions API.

Могут ли LLM помочь с feature parity между платформамиЗнакомые ребята запустили интересный стартап – они анализируют iOS и Android кодовые базы одного и того же проекта, и находят, где они расходятся по функциональности. В качестве примера проиндексировали приложения Википедии и выложили отчет по ним.Расскажите, что думаете про проект? Ребята рады будут фидбэку, я им передам! А еще лучше расскажите, пытаетесь ли как-то сами похожую проблему решать домашними способами.

Multipeer Connectivity всеВ Xcode 27 депрекейтят весь фреймворк Multipeer Connectivity. Если вы работали с ним, то, во-первых, соболезную, он как был куском нерабочего кода, так и остался. А во-вторых, переезжайте на фреймворк Network по гайду в статье.

Поддержка compilation cache в SwiftPMНа Swift Forums опубликовали пропозал по тому, как может выглядеть поддержка clang и swiftc компиляторных кэшей на уровне SwiftPM. Почему это важно – потенциально можем получить хороший прирост в скорости сборки. А вообще пропозал интересный, почитайте!

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 can be used to create clean DSL-like APIs.https://artemnovichkov.com/blog/using-swiftui-contentbuilder-with-non-view-types#Swift #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

WWDC26 Swift Group Lab Q&A is probably the most valuable Swift Concurrency content from this year’s WWDC.

FYI: starting with Xcode 27, Apple will ignore the UIDesignRequiresCompatibility flag.So if you're hoping to avoid Liquid Glass, your only option will be staying on an older Xcode. The bigger question is how long App Store submissions from older toolchains will remain supported.https://developer.apple.com/documentation/BundleResources/Information-Property-List/UIDesignRequiresCompatibility#Xcode
