Apple is making changes to its business terms for apps in the European Union, following close collaboration with the European Commission.

The changes reduce complexity by moving every developer that distributes apps in the EU to a single set of business terms.

Members of the Apple Developer Program can review and agree to the updated terms today in the Apple Developer Program License Agreement.

Some key updates, which go into effect October 1, 2026, include:Adjusting commission rates across the App Store, alternative payments, and alternatively distributed apps.

Expanding the qualifications for developers to operate alternative app marketplaces and distribute their apps over the web.

Attachment 14 of the Apple Developer Program License Agreement has been added to specify updated terms for apps in the European Union, including alternative distribution, alternative payments, and business terms.

These terms will go into effect on October 1, 2026.

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.

Apple generates appropriate age ratings based on your answers to the age rating questionnaire in App Store Connect.

In compliance with local regulatory requirements, apps in the Games and Entertainment categories distributed on the App Store in Korea receive a region-specific age rating based on these answers.

We’re making two changes to age ratings in the Republic of Korea: one taking effect today and the other later this year.

First, starting today, if your app has received an official rating from the Game Rating and Administration Committee (GRAC), you can now override your app’s existing age rating for the App Store in Korea to any of the region-specific ratings (All, 12+, 15+, or 19+) …

As we announced in June, Apple is introducing new ways to market your apps and games on the App Store.

With these new assets, you can go beyond in-use visuals to highlight your brand, seasonal offerings, exciting new content, and more.

Your creative assets can be used across the App Store in multiple places, including your product page header, search results, In-App Events, and more.

To help you plan your images and videos ahead of the fall launch, review our new App Store asset best practices, which include recommendations, as well as Figma, Photoshop, and Pixelmator design templates you can use to create captivating and compelling assets.

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.

For example:Sign in with Apple addresses, previously issued on privaterelay.appleid.com , will be issued on private.icloud.com .

iCloud+ Hide My Email addresses, previously issued on icloud.com , will be issued on private.icloud.com .

Email service providers should update any domain-based filtering, suppression lists, or routing rules that explicitly enumerate relay domains so that the new private.icloud.com domain is included.

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-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.

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!

Because accurate localization heavily depends on UI context, my current manual workflow for each string requires: Writing a text prompt explaining the context. Uploading a screenshot showing where the string appears. Cross-checking translations across multiple AI models. Are there any paid tools or platforms on the market that automate this entire workflow (extracting strings, feeding UI screenshots/context to AI, and comparing outputs)? submitted by /u/yccheok [link] [comments]

I didn't know this was still a thing. How can I make my app to handle the Button Shapes setting? I do not use it but some users have complained about the behavior of the app when they have this setting enabled, I can not force them to turn it off. Is there any modifier or function I can use in SwiftUI to disable it for my app? submitted by /u/Sad_Dare7025 [link] [comments]

Hi, what type of data types are allowed in setSpecific(key:, value:) and getSpecific(key:) methods of DispatchQueu ? there are no mentions anywhere. Also can you recommend any resources for complete understanding of DispatchQueue , GCD , DispatchGroup etc. ? Thank you! submitted by /u/usernameDisplay9876 [link] [comments]

I've spent the last few months building a database of real App Store rejections. My wife and friends completely didn't understand why I was doing this, but I was so sick of getting rejected for previously-unknown reasons after I already waited 8-10 days for my app to get reviewed. To gather the data, I've used some admittedly inefficient methods after I realized that Claude just wasn't getting the job done, even with Fable 5. I sent out surveys to a developer community I'm a part of, I spent way too many hours manually searching forums LLMs can't access, I DMed people for more details, and I structured all of the data by hand to keep it fully accurate. Then I started matching my own apps ag…

In UIKit, if we place titleTextView.becomeFirstResponder() inside viewDidLoad, the keyboard slides up seamlessly alongside the view controller's presentation animation. It looks instant and feels like a native, high-quality UX. I'm struggling to replicate this exact behavior in SwiftUI. Whenever I use FocusState and toggle it to true inside .onAppear, there is always a noticeable delay. The view pushes/presents, settles, and then the keyboard decides to slide up. Has anyone found a way to achieve this instantly in pure SwiftUI yet (maybe in iOS 17+), or is UIViewRepresentable still the only bulletproof way to get that perfectly synced keyboard presentation? Thanks in advance! submitted by /…

I completely gave up and do payroll now. After almost a decade of learning, building apps and creating packages. I finally just had to grow up and realize that I could never be a developer. I really thought if I worked hard and became skilled that I wouldn’t have to worry about anything else. It turns out that is not the case. Good luck to all of you. I hope your stories end up happier than mine. submitted by /u/Stunning_Pattern6486 [link] [comments]

Hey all, just in this is useful to anyone else, I (ok, Claude) wrote a little Hammerspoon script to grab a screenshot of your connected device, save it to your Mac + copy to clipboard... all with one hotkey. Saves having to dig through the Xcode menus every time, or airdropping screenshots over. Basically, it's Hammerspoon hitting Debug -> View Debugging -> Take screenshot on your behalf, watching for the screenshot to arrive, then copying it to clipboard. And for me, all that happens when I mash Ctrl-Option-Command-S. There's probably a better way that I missed... if so, please shout. :) https://github.com/mwagstaff/mac-tooling/blob/3e0f1ed36047a056cbf088fe7b1af1b2189bc050/hammerspoon/conf…

Lessons from shipping a production app on SpeechTranscriber + on-device Foundation Models — including an OS bug that permanently eats locale slots I just shipped my first app built end-to-end on Apple's on-device AI stack — SpeechAnalyzer/SpeechTranscriber for transcription and Foundation Models for enrichment (it's a voice-notes app; every recording gets an on-device title/summary/tags/tasks). Some things I learned the hard way that I haven't seen written up much: 1. The simulator will lie to you — twice. The simulator cannot transcribe at all, and the simulator's language model is not the on-device model. Output quality, instruction-following, and hallucination behavior differ meaningfull…

Sending push notifications to iOS without relying on a native app has already become a mature option. Last year Apple extended the standard Web Push with Declarative Web Push, which finally makes the whole thing make sense. (It's handled natively by WebKit rather than driven by JavaScript, which improves push reliability and privacy, much like the native push notification model.) Kukuroo uses Cloudflare Workers so that end devices can subscribe to push notifications and relay push requests to the Worker, which signs and delivers them. I personally found it genuinely useful and full of potential, so I open sourced it: https://github.com/saiday/kukuroo kukuroo.cc Requirements: Safari on iOS a…

wonder if anyone had a similar issue and resolved it - I have an app which is distributed now, but blocked in EU because of the DSA compliance. However I already uploaded the documents twice now and they seem to be accepted but after a few days they disappear and I get email from app store that I need to upload them. I was uploading a bank statement where my name and address is clearly visible and for the identity - a passport pic. I am wondering if it is because the address linked to my apple developer account is an old one? I raised a ticket with Apple to correct it. And on top of that I am on hold with their callback function to try to upload the docs again live with the support person b…

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

Personally, I prefer SQLite over Core/SwiftData, largely because I want a shared language between my iOS and Android apps.

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

But the more interesting part of the announcement was the controversy around the so-called ‘Restricted Mode’ discovered in the iOS 27 betas.

This feels like the right direction for code review when AI can generate code much faster than people can meaningfully review it.

If I’ve learned anything about Approachable Concurrency it’s that there can never be too many articles explaining Approachable Concurrency.

And as someone who hasn’t yet fully embraced Swift 6.2 and Approachable Concurrency, I find its conclusions reassuring.

Issue 758 10th July 2026 Written by Andyy HopeG’day, iOS Dev weekly subscribers.

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 757 3rd July 2026 Written by Alex OzunHello, iOS Dev Weekly readers 👋Since I’m a new face in your inbox, I’ll start this issue by introducing myself.

Issue 750 8th May 2026 Written by Dave VerwerThis is the seven hundred and fiftieth issue of this little newsletter, so I hope you’ll forgive a little introspection.

I’d recently left a job working with C# and ASP.NET to start a small business writing Ruby on Rails apps on the brand new Intel Mac I’d just bought.

I really loved what I found, and not just in the language or frameworks, but in the community.

When I started this newsletter in 2011 it was partly because I wanted to become even more involved in that community.

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.

If you’re interested in robotics and Swift, you’ll also enjoy Artem’s announcement of IndustrialKit and the various video demos (1, 2, 3).

Apple has filed its response to OpenAI’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit in which it accuses two former employees, as well as OpenAI and io Products, of stealing its trade secrets.

A bit of contextA few days ago, OpenAI filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit Apple brought against the company, io Products, Chang Liu, and Tang Tan, alleging trade secret theft.

“Apple argues that its original complaint “sufficiently identifies specific trade secrets that defendants misappropriated,” and cites previous cases where courts found similar levels of detail sufficient to let trade secret claims move forward.

A new Counterpoint Research report predicts that consumer wearables will generate more than $1 trillion in cumulative revenue through 2032, with smartwatches and wireless earbuds leading the pack.

From the report:Smartwatches and TWS will remain the largest wearable categories, together generating an estimated cumulative revenue of $558 billion between 2026 and 2032.

Health patches are expected to generate another $120 billion, followed by smart rings at $44 billion, pendants at $24 billion, smart shoes at $18 billion, and fitness bands at $14 billion.

Smart socks, smart clothing, and smart belts are each projected to generate less than $10 billion.

Apple is also rumored to be working on sm…

As we enter the final weeks of beta testing, Apple will likely release macOS 27 Golden Gate to the public next month.

One of the biggest changes with this year’s update is the addition of an all-new Siri app for Mac users.

Siri app comes to MacWhen you update to macOS 27 later this year, you’ll see a new Siri app icon in your Mac’s dock.

Siri AI is the flagship change for macOS 27 Golden Gate this year.

9to5Mac’s TakeWhile I think the app is relatively basic, I’m pleased that Apple decided to release a chatbot-style Siri app with macOS 27.

Legendary graphic designer Susan Kare spoke recently at the Startup School 2026 event, and the video for her talk is now up on Y Combinator’s YouTube channel.

Susan Kare shares great stories and design lessonsMore than 40 years after the launch of the original Macintosh, the system’s graphics, fonts, icons, and overall UI elements look as striking as they did back in the day.

In fact, several aspects of Susan Kare’s original ideas for the first Macintosh are still part of macOS, either in spirit or quite literally.

From the Command key symbol to the Happy Mac to the system fonts to the hand pointer and beyond, Kare’s work helped shape the visual language of personal computing, not just on t…

iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max will launch next month, and in addition to packing a variety of new features, there are three design changes reportedly coming.

But next month with iPhone 18 Pro, a new Dynamic Island design is finally coming.

Rumors say the new Dynamic Island will be about 35% smaller on the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max.

Rumors indicate the company plans to continue offering fun Pro colors with the iPhone 18 Pro.

Apple Watch Series 12 will be unveiled next month, and a reputable leaker just said it will come with a ceramic design option.

Among them is Apple Watch Series 12, the latest Watch model.

It’s unclear how much of a premium price ceramic might command with Apple Watch Series 12.

And soon with iOS 27, Apple will launch new AirPods upgrades that should make that a more common experience.

iOS 27’s Siri AI is a great reason to wear AirPods more, especially new model with camerasAirPods already offer plenty of reasons to wear them throughout the day.

But next month, it sounds like Apple could launch the best reason yet to wear AirPods more often.

The combination of Siri’s iOS 27 upgrades with camera-equipped AirPods means users will have so much more reason to wear AirPods all day long.

Do you tend to wear AirPods all throughout the day?

Under the DMA, users in the EU have a right to full and effective choice of alternative app distribution channels.

While the EC approved Apple's planned changes, Apple legal opponent Epic Games was not happy with the new fee structure, denouncing the "new junk fees."

Under the new terms, ‌Epic Games‌ will need to pay a five percent Core Technology Commission on digital purchases made through its ‌Epic Games‌ Store on the iPhone and iPad in the EU.

For an app distributed through the ‌App Store‌ with a link to purchase options, Epic would need to pay 15 percent.

‌Epic Games‌ does not qualify for reduced fees.

Apple's camera-equipped AirPods will not launch until 2027 despite the demo video MacRumors found earlier this week, reports Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.

On Monday, MacRumors shared a demo video featuring the camera-equipped AirPods in action.

In early August, he reversed course and said the camera-equipped AirPods could launch as soon as September.

The B790 AirPods were shown off in the video, which featured a man holding a book up to the AirPods so Siri could read the title and save it for later.

The AirPods cameras will not be able to capture photos and videos.

Meta today launched a new ‌Meta‌ AI app for the Mac, which is available in a beta capacity.

It incorporates analytics tools so it can answer questions about performance, and connects with Google Workspace for document access.

Google Workspace access requires a professional Facebook or Instagram account.

‌Meta‌ is adding new ‌Meta‌ AI features for business users across its platforms, so the assistant can complete recurring tasks and reminders and generate decks, docs, and spreadsheets.

‌Meta‌ AI is free to use, but there are ‌Meta‌ One plans that increase rate limits.

Apple plans to open a new 10,000-square-foot store at The Village at Meridian, an outdoor shopping complex near Boise, Idaho, according to building permits reviewed by BoiseDev.

Apple is aiming to open the store in time for the iPhone 18 Pro launch this September, a tipster claimed.

The company's only other store in Idaho is located at the Boise Towne Square shopping mall.

Google today said eligible college students in the United States can get a free year of Google AI Pro.

Google AI Pro is normally priced at $19.99 per month, and it includes 4x higher usage limits in Gemini, access to Gemini Spark, Gemini in Google apps like Gmail and Google Docs, and 5TB of storage space.

Eligible college students outside the United States can get a free year of Google AI Plus, which includes Gemini Omni, 4x higher usage limits in Gemini, and 400GB storage.

College students can also opt for a Google AI Pro and YouTube Premium bundle for $8.99 per month in the United States, which is a 70 percent discount off the regular price.

After the free subscription period, Google will…

One of the Beats codenames MacRumors found in the macOS Tahoe 26.7 update (B518) appears to be for the Beats 360, a new set of over-ear headphones that we could see launch soon.

Multiple Reddit users found signs of the Beats 360 on UK websites like Amazon, though those listings have now been removed.

One listing says these are the first-ever sweat-resistant and water-resistant over-ear headphones Beats has come out with, so it sounds like they should be better for wearing during workouts than current Beats over-ear options.

Anker and Jackery have introduced big discounts across their most popular portable power stations this week, including up to $1,500 off select models from each company.

Anker SOLIXNote: MacRumors is an affiliate partner with Jackery and Anker.

The majority of Anker's portable power station deals are from the SOLIX brand on Amazon, and all of these deals have been automatically applied on each page.

There are plenty of notable discounts, including the popular Anker SOLIX C300 Portable Power Station with Lantern for $199.99, down from $249.99.

JackeryOver on Jackery's website, you'll find up to $1,500 off a wide array of portable power stations, solar generators, add-on batteries, and more.

Apple on Monday seeded the macOS 26.7 Release Candidate, and the upcoming software update has seemingly leaked more than 10 new Apple products.

macOS 26.7's code contains references to AirPods with infrared cameras for Visual Intelligence, the long-rumored foldable iPhone, an all-new Apple smart home hub, the first-ever MacBook and iPad mini models with OLED displays, an updated Siri Remote for a next-generation Apple TV, and more, according to MacRumors contributor Aaron Perris.

All of the findings so far:Watch our video recap:Apple's annual iPhone event takes place in September, so at least some of the new products will likely be unveiled next month.

Below, we recap everything rumored for the next Apple TV, along with potential launch timing.

The extra memory would allow the Apple TV to support some Apple Intelligence features, and this will reportedly include Siri AI.

Siri AI will likely be limited to the new Apple TV with sufficient RAM and processing power.

Contact Posters on Apple TV make it easier and more personal by displaying a contact's customized photo and name when starting a FaceTime call on Apple TV.

Cultured Code today released Things 3.23, featuring a significant update to the app's handling of repeating to-dos, addressing two of the most requested changes from users.

Until now, repeating to-dos in Things lacked some of the flexibility of standard to-dos and today's update closes that gap along with a handful of valuable smaller refinements throughout the app.

Repeat icon : Generated copies of repeating to-dos now feature a small grey repeat icon to indicate their origin.

Bulk actions : Multiple repeating to-dos can now be paused, resumed, or stopped at once.

Things already featured a list that gathers all repeating to-dos and projects along with their upcoming generated copies in one…

Amazon and Best Buy today have big discounts on the M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pro, with up to $500 off select models.

We're focusing on Amazon in the links below, but you can find every deal matched at Best Buy this week during its big 60th Anniversary Sale.

14-Inch MacBook ProPrices start at $2,299.00 for the 24GB/1TB 14-inch M5 Pro MacBook Pro, down from $2,499.00.

16-Inch MacBook ProIn terms of the larger display models, we're tracking discounts on all four models on Amazon.

These start at $2,759.99 for the 24GB/1TB M5 Pro configuration ($239 off), and reach up to $4,499.00 for the 48GB/2TB M5 Max device ($500 off).

So what should we expect from the successor to the iPad mini 7 that Apple released over 21 months ago.

DisplayApple's plan to transition the ‌‌iPad mini‌‌ from an LCD to an OLED display is widely rumored.

It remains unclear whether the iPad mini 8 will feature a higher refresh rate than the 60Hz LCD display used in the existing iPad mini 7, but since the new base iPhone 17 now uses a 120Hz ProMotion panel, it would be reasonable to expect the same on the first OLED iPad mini.

Chassis DesignApple is reportedly working to give the iPad mini 8 a more water-resistant design, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.

Release DateKorea's ET News and ZDNET Korea have both suggested that the iPad mini …

There has been very little pushback against Apple's new business terms in the EU, primarily from Epic Games, and even the European Commission has welcomed the changes.

A report from Irish Independent detailed the European Commission's response to Apple's new business terms for the EU.

The point of the DMA was to open up competition and choice for developers, which the EC seems to believe Apple's terms have accomplished.

Given the EC's approval of these new business terms, Epic may have to finally accept the reality of the situation.

The lawsuit against Apple involving commission rates is still ongoing as Apple awaits the Supreme Court's decision in October.

Apple sued OpenAI for alleged trade secret theft, and after OpenAI's weak attempt to have the case dismissed, Apple has doubled down on its claims in a new filing.

The Apple lawsuit against OpenAI started with several odd public statements from the company denying the accusations.

OpenAI filed for dismissal on August 5, simply arguing that it didn't need Apple's trade secrets and that Apple is the one that can't compete.

The company reiterates its allegations in detail, alleging evidence on their end of misappropriation of trade secrets and OpenAI encouraging as much.

The filing says OpenAI mischaracterizes these accusations as innocent accidents and ignores the seriousness of the accusatio…

In spite of a recent demo video leaking, the AirPods with cameras are rumored to not be ready for release until 2027.

According to a report from Bloomberg, Apple is expected to debut a set of AirPods Pro 4 with cameras.

These earbuds won't be able to take photos and won't be announced until sometime in 2027 when product issues are resolved.

It seems that may be half true, with the AirPods Pro 3 variety of the product being shelved entirely, while an AirPods Pro 4 version is still in development.

The danger of wearable camerasSince the product won't be able to capture photos or videos, people shouldn't worry about them becoming "pervertpods."

Plans for a new Apple Store location have been discovered for a new shopping center just outside of Boise, Idaho in a location called Village at Meridian.

According to a report from Boisedev outlining new stores opening at the Village at Meridian included mention of an Apple Store.

Apple already has a store called Boise Towne Square just a few miles east of the new Meridian location.

When an Apple Store isn't available, these types of appointments are handled by outlets like Best Buy.

While some stores open their doors in September, the Village at Meridian won't have every retail location open until February.

The possibility of a return to a ceramic Apple Watch body is growing, after a serial leaker posted about its arrival in the Series 12 model.

Apple is anticipated to bring out the Apple Watch Series 12 this fall, but it's not expected to be a major upgrade or redesign.

In an August 19 post to X, leaker Kosutami was brief, writing "Hell yeah, Ceramic Apple Watch is back.

Bringing ceramic backCeramic was introduced with the Apple Watch Edition Series 2, a premium variant of the Apple Watch, in white.

The Edition series was missing for the Apple Watch Series 4 in 2018, but returned for the Apple Watch Edition Series 5 one year later.

The Beats 360 have leaked yet again, with retailer listings detailing practically all of the important features of the over-ear headphones.

The latest leak comes from Reddit users, who found what are known as the Beats 360 on UK retail sites, including Amazon UK.

For a start, the headphones have a rounder design than the current Beats Studio Pro, as previously seen in the Instagram photos.

The Beats 360 is expected to start from $299 in the U.S., with color options including Black, Cloud, Navy, Pink, Sky, and Volt.

It is unknown when the Beats 360 will launch.

Meta AI has arrived as a beta Mac app, but the company's data collection practices make the privacy tradeoff worth considering before diving straight in.

This time, it's Meta AI, the progeny of Facebook's parent company, Meta.

Meta is branding Meta AI as an assistant, rather than a chatbot or an all-in-one device.

It's worth taking these statements into consideration before you use any Meta product, be it Meta AI or anything else.

Anything shared with Meta AI, or with Meta broadly, can be used to train AI.

It has been a long time in coming, but Apple is preparing at least two big changes to the Apple TV 4K.

However, that doesn't seem to be the case for the next iteration of Apple TV 4K.

While not rumored, it would be nice to see more storage capacity in the Apple TV 4K, and also native AV1 support.

A bigger home playThe Apple TV 4K would be only one smart home-related update Apple plans to make.

But at the very least, the Apple TV 4K is one of the more likely to surface.

They hear "Apple Maps is getting ads" and think "Apple is making my premium iPhone experience into junk."

Paid search ads incentivize businesses to careI choose Apple Maps over Google Maps even though I live in a relatively small town in northeast Tennessee.

Apple Maps ads won't be persistent, display over driving directions, or interrupt the user interface in any way.

Imagine if, instead of search ads, Apple asked for a monthly fee for Apple Maps.

Apple Maps ads won't hurt youLet's put this all together:Search ads on Apple Maps will serve as basic billboards that incentivize businesses to compete on the platform.

Amazon Prime Air is the retailer's attempt to make drone deliveries a reality.

On Wednesday, Amazon said it plans to expand the reach of Prime Air, by launching in new areas.

The intention is to have Prime Air available in nearly 500 cities and towns by the end of the year.

If the option for drone delivery is available, customers can confirm the delivery point for their first order, including making sure there's no people, pets, or vehicles that will get in the way.

It claims that more than 60% of items customers frequently buy from Amazon are eligible for drone delivery.

Hours after Apple made changes to its EU App Store fees, long-time opponent Epic Games offered its opinion.

Epic founder and CEO Tim Sweeney also joined in on X, referring to the "new junk fee structure in the EU."

On the "settlement" element, Bloomberg does use the word "settle" in the headline, as Apple is trying to settle the EU fee problem.

Continuing the fee fightEpic Games and Apple's long-running lawsuit over App Store fees in the United States is a fairly similar disagreement, at least in topic.

While the EU changes are a different venue than a U.S. courtroom, Epic's view on the matter is still the same.

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

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

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

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

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.

Android приложение Polymarket написано на SwiftРазработчики Polymarket, крупнейшей биржи предсказаний, рассказали, что их выпущенное на прошлой неделе Android приложение пости полностью написано на Swift с использованием Skip:👉На Swift написано 170к строк логики: нетворкинг, работа с данными, вьюмодели.👉Это ядро пошарено с iOS приложением.👉UI написан полностью нативно на Compose.Обязательно почитайте пост, там много интересного про сам подход к организации кода и проблемы, с которыми они столкнулись.

Low level программирование на SwiftДержите классный доклад от одного из разработчиков Swift про то, как в языке развиваются фичи для системного программирования, и как они сочетаются со всем остальным языковым дизайном.

SwiftUI спустя 7 летС момента анонса SwiftUI прошло уже целых семь лет. Это уже довольно-таки приличный срок для UI фреймворка, чтобы стать полностью production ready. Но реальность немного отличается:👉Достигнуть предсказуемого перфоманса очень сложно, а логика дата флоу часто меняется.👉Хоть сколько-то сложный лэйаут работает непредсказуемо и ломается в самых неожиданных местах.👉По feature parity SwiftUI все еще очень сильно отстает от UIKit, а когда новые фичи все-таки доезжают, доступны они только с самых последних версий iOS. В результате код превращается в мешанину #available чеков.👉Кросс-платформенность на деле оказалась не самой полезной фичей, так как по факту лэйаут на телефоне и пл…

Как устроен М4 Apple Neural EngineПрямого доступа к Neural Engine нам не дают, предлагая работать с ним только через CoreML. Но через все слои абстракции в нем довольно тяжело пробиться, поэтому понять, как на самом деле работает железо, сходу не получится.Автор статьи зареверсинжинирил весь стек, начиная от CoreML, заканчивая драйвером чипа, и вытащил кучу интересных подробностей!

Что помогает экономить токеныРебята из JetBrains прогнали через свои бенчмарки несколько самых популярных инструментов для экономии токенов – caveman, rtk и ponytail. 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.

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

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.
