A recent injunction issued by a district court suspended enforcement of Texas state law SB2420, which introduced age assurance requirements for app marketplaces and developers.

In light of this ruling, Apple will pause previously announced implementation plans and monitor the ongoing legal process.

The tools we previously announced to help developers meet their compliance obligations will remain available for sandbox testing, including:These tools can also be used to help developers with their obligations under laws coming into effect in Utah and Louisiana in 2026.

The Declared Age Range API remains available worldwide for users on iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS 26, or later.

To comply with the Mobile Software Competition Act (MSCA), Apple is introducing changes to iOS that create new options for developers' apps in Japan.

Beginning with iOS 26.2, 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.

Those protections include Notarization for iOS apps, an authorization process for app marketplaces, and requirements that help protect children from inappropriate content and scams.

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

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

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

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

Age categories for users with new Apple Accounts in Texas as of January 1, 2026, will be shared with a developer’s app when they request it.

Texas state law considers a change in the age rating of an app to be a significant change, and developers should keep their age rating selections current in App Store Connect.

When a developer updates their app’s age rating, the rating is updated on all user devices once the version is live.

App consent revocationA parent or guardian in Texas can withdraw consent for any app, which will block launching of the app on the child or teen’s device.

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.

Learn more about the Windows workgroup by reading its charter.

While one could go and rewrite these libraries in Swift, usually there is no need, because Swift provides direct interoperability with C. With a little setup, you can directly use existing C libraries from your Swift code.

In this post, I’m going to use these annotations to improve how Swift interacts with the WebGPU C code.

You can create a module map for the WebGPU header by writing the following to a file module.modulemap :module WebGPU { header "webgpu.h" export * }The easiest thing to do is to put module.modulemap alongside the header itself.

The resulting API notes are in WebGPU.apinotes, and the generated Swift interface after these API notes are applied is here.

Hi! Today I updated my test device (iPhone 11) to iOS 26.2.1, and when measuring FPS (Core animation fps) in the Xcode Developer tool, the readings were always 59-60, regardless of the actual FPS. On version 18.2, the readings were realistic. Even during a stress test and severe throttling, when the FPS drops to 10, the graph always shows 59-60. Has anyone encountered something similar, and is there a solution? submitted by /u/stereojackmusic [link] [comments]

Okay I'm at my limit here. I have an iOS app. I want to run Google Ads to get installs and track when people subscribe. This has to be something thousands of developers do every day right? Like this is a normal thing that normal people do? So why is there absolutely NOTHING out there explaining how to actually do it? I've spent an embarrassing amount of time on this. Google's docs? Memorized. I see them when I close my eyes. I've asked Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini - they all confidently contradict each other so now I trust no one. I even hired two Google-certified Ads specialists thinking okay surely the pros will know. They did not know. Subscription events still not showing as conversions, for…

Hi guys, before starting, I translated the page so you can read it without problems, so the name of the app got translated too (it is Folium - Libretto Universitario). I published it 2 months ago and since then it got a nice feedback, my doubt is about the daily active users (second image), I know they are opt-in, but I would like to know approximately what is the real number. The app has a widget that is the mainly function, so I was expecting a low number, but it looks like not, taking into account that these are only the opt-in active devices. What do you think about this numbers? are they good or they are too low? I tried to use an external sdk this month but I have only 20.000 free act…

Issue 740 23rd January 2026 Written by Dave VerwerThe best part of this week (related to the industry, at least!)

Obviously, Claude Code is great for long sessions working on a codebase, but I’ve also started using it for smaller tasks in directories with lots of text files, like the iOS Dev Weekly site source code directory.

Issue 739 16th January 2026 Written by Dave VerwerIf you’ve spent any time at all reading about AI coding agents, you’ll likely have heard that people get better results when working with languages other than Swift.

In fact, I’ve seen people say that type-safe languages produce better results as the agent can rely on the compiler to automatically catch basic errors.

So I’ve been interested to receive several recommendations of a tool that really helps the agents get to grips with the current state of Swift.

I can’t imagine a better guide to getting everything correct than the one in Alberto De Bortoli’s latest blog post.

Issue 738 9th January 2026 Written by Dave VerwerIt happened while I was away on my end-of-year break, but at the end of last year Apple announced changes to iOS in Japan.

iOS 26.2 enabled the changes, and now there are several regions of the world where users could be using browsers with non-WebKit rendering engines.

At the time it felt like we had a chance for HTML rendering engines to converge into one standard implementation (apologies to Gecko 😬), which promised to be a win for the web.

Note, I’m not talking about browsers, strictly about rendering engines.

One year ago, iOS 18 was at ~78%.

Issue 737 19th December 2025 Written by Dave VerwerI’m back from my vacation, which was exactly what I needed, and I now find myself writing the last issue of 2025!

😱To mark the end of the year, Apple announced this year’s App Store Award winners!

You can see the full list of awards and winners on the developer site, although I actually prefer their press release writeup as it includes screenshots of the apps.

I especially liked the Be My Eyes app, which restored some of my faith in humanity.

Follow along and have some Swifty fun with that Pi that is still sitting in its box on your shelf.

It takes the idea of using LLMs inside an app one step further than having the model return text or structured data.

I’d recommend watching this 30-second slice of the video for a better explanation than I can manage in a few words.

It includes a built-in set of widgets for common UI, and you can add your own too.

It has been possible to get Swift apps running on really tiny devices for a while now (as mentioned in Issue 655, Issue 673, and Issue 691), although getting it going was not trivial.

😬VideosI wrote about ServerSide.swift 2025 back in Issue 729, but if you missed the conference, you can at least now catch up with the session videos!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Does that mean adopting Liquid Glass?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A lawsuit claims that this isn’t true and that anyone inside Meta can get full access to all of the messages sent or received by any WhatsApp user.

Lawsuit claims the encryption is a lieA class action lawsuit, however, claims that this is a lie and WhatsApp does not in fact use E2EE.

Meta’s and WhatsApp’s claim that they do not have access to the substance of WhatsApp users’ communications is false.

The decision to trust WhatsApp on this point seems perfectly reasonable to me, in the absence of any concrete evidence to the contrary.

The lawsuit goes much further, stating that there is an established mechanism within the company for getting access to the content of WhatsApp messages.

Following last week’s release of iOS 26.2.1, Apple has now stopped signing iOS 26.2.

Apple also stops signing several versions of iOS 12, iOS 15, iOS 16, and iOS 18Whenever Apple releases an iOS update with important security fixes, or decides a version is stable enough, it usually doesn’t take long before earlier versions stop being signed, effectively blocking downgrades.

As spotted by MacRumors, that’s precisely what happened today with iOS 26.2.

In practice, this means that if you’re running iOS 26.2.1, which was released just a week ago, you can no longer downgrade to iOS 26.2 (or any other previous version, for that matter).

In addition to iOS 26.2, Apple reportedly also stopped signi…

An interesting new approach to generating speech fasterIn a new paper titled Principled Coarse-Grained Acceptance for Speculative Decoding in Speech, Apple researchers detail an interesting approach to generating speech from text.

While there are currently multiple approaches to generating speech from text, the researchers focused on autoregressive text-to-speech models, which generate speech tokens one at a time.

With that in mind, Apple groups speech tokens that sound similar, creating a more flexible verification step.

And speaking of results, the researchers show that PCG increased speech generation by about 40%, a significant improvement, given that applying standard speculative decodi…

Apple today stopped signing iOS 26.2, which means that iPhone users who have updated to iOS 26.2.1 are no longer able to downgrade to the earlier version of iOS.

Software "signing" means that it has passed the server-side verification check that Apple performs when a user downloads a new version of iOS on an ‌iPhone‌.

Until today, users would have been able to downgrade from iOS 26.2.1 to iOS 26.2 if desired for some reason.

Unsigning software prevents Apple customers from installing outdated, less secure versions of iOS, and Apple typically stops signing an update a week or so after new software comes out.

The AI features can be disabled entirely or individually, so users can pick and choose what they want to use.

Users will be able to continue to opt out of AI features as they are added in the browser, and the main Block AI Enhancements toggle will disable all current and future AI features, including pop-ups or reminders to use existing or upcoming AI features.

AI controls will be added in Firefox 148, which is set to start rolling out to use…

Apple also enabled Precision Finding on the Apple Watch Series 9 and later and the Apple Watch Ultra 2 and later, which is super useful.

You can't use an Apple Watch to locate an original ‌AirTag‌ nearby, and it's probably the best addition to the second-generation version.

When pitting the original ‌AirTag‌ against the ‌AirTag‌ 2 with ‌iPhone‌ Precision Finding, the ‌AirTag‌ 2 was clearly superior.

The original ‌AirTag‌ had a hard time with walls and objects, and required us to be closer to the backpack to get a connection.

It's harder to tuck an ‌AirTag‌ away and mute its sound, and Apple also made the speaker module more difficult to remove with additional adhesive.

It's a 3-in-1 charger that can charge an ‌iPhone‌ at up to 25W, fast charge an ‌iPhone‌, and charge AirPods, too.

The Prime Wireless Charging Station features Qi2.2 support, which lets a compatible MagSafe ‌iPhone‌ charge at up to 25W.

Wireless charging speeds can vary based on charge level, temperature, and other factors, but the Prime Wireless Charging Station is able to match Apple's native ‌iPhone 17‌ ‌MagSafe‌ charging options.

The Apple Watch charger folds down into the ‌iPhone‌ charger with a hinge that feels durable, and you can press to pop it out.

The Prime Wireless Charging Station can be purchased from Amazon or from the Anker website for $120 thanks to a 20 percent launch disco…

Apple's impressive Passeig de Gràcia store in the heart of Barcelona, Spain will be temporarily closed for unspecified improvements starting Saturday, February 14 at 8 p.m. local time, according to the store's official page.

Apple Passeig de Gràcia Apple Passeig de GràciaThe extent of renovations that will be completed remains to be seen, and Apple has not indicated when the store will reopen to the public.

Apple Passeig de Gràcia first opened in 2012, and it is one of the company's flagship retail locations.

The store is on one of the most popular avenues in Barcelona, inside a historic former bank building with a stunning stone facade.

Apple has another store in Barcelona at the Westfield…

Apple today released iOS 16.7.14 to address an iOS 16.7.13 issue that caused some older iPhones in Australia to be unable to connect to emergency services.

The update is available for the iPhone 8, ‌iPhone‌ 8 Plus, and ‌iPhone‌ X models, and it will allow these devices to place calls to emergency services in Australia.

After Apple released iOS 16.7.13 last week, it became clear that the software interfered with the emergency call situation in Australia, which has been a problem since December.

Last Thursday, Apple released a carrier settings update for Telstra customers in Australia that temporarily fixed the issue by adjusting network-related settings.

iOS 16.7.4 can be downloaded by openi…

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

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

leading = leading () self .

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

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

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

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

id = id self .

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

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

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

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

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

func decode( from data: Dat…

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

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

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

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

header = header () self .

close () } return try connection.

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

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

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

id ] = task return try await task.

It's also great to see Swift Testing going from strength to strength, with three major improvements coming in Swift 6.2, including exit tests and attachments.

So, this kind of code is legal in Swift 6.2 and later:func `function name with spaces`() { print("Hello, world!")

As an example, we could create two classes like this:final class User: Sendable { let id = UUID() } final class Session: Sendable { weak let user: User?

{ self.user = user } }We could then make and use them like so:var user: User?

Note: Unlike the XCTest equivalent, Swift Testing's attachments do not support lifetime controls in Swift 6.2.

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

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

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

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

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

In this tutorial, you’ll modify an app to use Apple Foundation Models to summarize text.

Apple Foundation Model RequirementsTo use the on-device language model, the user needs to have hardware that supports Apple Intelligence.

Even if the Simulator is running an appropriate version of the OS, it will only work if the underlying macOS supports Apple Foundation Models.

When following along with this tutorial, also note that macOS 26 virtual machines often fail to support Apple Foundation Models.

Before using Apple Foundation Models, you must ensure the user’s device supports it and that the user has turned it on.

Build your own low-level game engine in Metal!

Metal is a unified application programming interface (API) for the graphics processing unit, or GPU.

Finally, Metal is a low-overhead API because it reduces the central processing unit (CPU) cost by multi-threading and pre-compiling of resources.

This book will introduce you to low-level graphics programming in Metal — Apple’s framework for programming on the graphics processing unit (GPU).

Because you’ll have built your 3D game engine from scratch, you’ll be able to customize every aspect of what you see on your screen.

If you’re on a such a file system and change the case of a filename, Git will not record the new name — unless you use git mv to perform the renaming.

git commit -m "Create A"[main (root-commit) 3d73aea] Create A 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) create mode 100644 A.txtNow we rename the file from A.txt to a.txt :# Rename the file (change case) # Note: not using `git mv` mv A.txt a.txt git statusnothing to commit, working tree cleanThat’s interesting.

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.

I wrote this in response:Both Apple and Phil Schiller himself took a huge risk in doing this.

And humanizing the company and its decisions, especially to developers — remember, developer relations is all under Phil — might be worth the PR risk.

Кастомное поведение строковой интерполяции Помимо простой подстановки значения, со строковой интерполяцией можно делать и более интересные вещи – например, прямо на ходу исполнять какую-то логику – форматировать значение правильным образом в зависимости от его типа, валидировать его, или применять условную логику.

Skip теперь бесплатныйПро Skip, набор инструментов для транспилирования Swift в Kotlin, мы на канале говорили довольно часто. Большого адопшна у ребят так и не случилось, но главное, чего они добились – добавили Android в список официальных таргетов Swift и запустили полноценную рабочую группу вокруг проекта.Так вот, раньше большая часть Skip была закрытой и платной, а с этой недели бизнес-модель меняется, и все выкладывается в опенсорс. Основная причина – никто не хочет платить за инструменты для разработки. Выживет ли проект дальше, пока не очень понятно, будем следить.

Probably everyone is already tired of reading about Clawdbot. Too many posts, too much noise.But this story is on a different level. Honestly, it reads like a Netflix script.The short version:• Anthropic complained about the Clawdbot name.• The project rushed a rename.• During that window, the account was taken over.• Under the old name, fake tokens were pushed to the market.• Within hours, FOMO kicked in on Solana and the token briefly hit a ~$16M market cap. 🫠Not a bug — pure timing.https://dev.to/sivarampg/from-clawdbot-to-moltbot-how-a-cd-crypto-scammers-and-10-seconds-of-chaos-took-down-the-4eck#security #Clawdbot

As multi-module setups become more common, it helps to be precise about how imports work.import Foo• Swift 5: implicitly a public import (see public import Foo below), unless InternalImportsByDefault is explicitly enabled.• Swift 6: a regular internal import — visible only inside the module and does not affect the public interface.public import Foo• Allows Foo types to be used in public / open API.• Downstream modules gain access to Foo, but still have to explicitly write import Foo themselves.@_exported import Foo• Foo types become automatically available to any module importing yours.• Useful for facade modules.https://alexanderweiss.dev/blog/2026-01-16-exported-import-vs-public-import#sw…

Every time Apple ships a “simpler” sync API, I hope this is the one where I won’t have to think too much. CKSyncEngine almost looks like it… until you read Christian Selig’s article.It’s not a tutorial — it’s a list of things that will quietly break later if you trust the magic:• saves resolve conflicts, deletes don’t;• enums in synced models are a trap;• engine state must be persisted;• quota errors are still your problem.The API is better, but architectural responsibility didn’t go anywhere. So it’s worth reading if you’re considering CKSyncEngine.https://christianselig.com/2026/01/cksyncengine/#iOS #CloudKit

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

Apple docs are already frustrating and often not very helpful for developers, and on top of that, LLMs can barely make sense of them: try loading a page with an LLM and all it sees is a JavaScript error: “This page requires JavaScript.
