We give developers powerful APIs to build incredible capabilities into their apps for Apple products, backed by a set of controls designed to protect users’ private data.

Full Disk Access largely sidesteps these controls in order to allow backup apps to function properly on the Mac.

Some developers are using Full Disk Access in ways that could put users at risk, exposing everything on their systems—including files, mail, messages, and even browsing history—without users’ full knowledge and understanding.

As AI agents become increasingly capable and autonomous, the risks associated with this level of access will grow substantially.

We are committed to ensuring users clearly understand these …

The upcoming Swift 6.4 release will include changes, begun in Swift 6.3, that address this by updating how the Swift compiler references explicitly-built Swift modules in debug info.

In order to initialize a Swift compiler instance with the state of the current module, LLDB finds the name of the current function’s Swift module in debug info.

In Swift 6.3, explicitly-built binary Swift modules also keep track of their Swift module dependencies.

In Swift 6.3, the Swift compiler can store the path to it in the debug info.

I built and submitted an app update with XCode 27.1 and included Duo screenshots taken with the simulator. The update was approved (including the screenshots) and posted but the App store does not show a "Duo Ready" (or whatever) Logo and the Duo screenshots are not available on my app store pages, it still only shows iPhone and iPad previews.

I spent the last months getting Meta's HT-Demucs (the model that splits a song into drums, bass, vocals and other) running entirely on an iPhone with Core ML: no server, no uploads. A few things I learned that might save someone time: 1. Keep the STFT out of the model. HT-Demucs works on both the waveform and the spectrogram. Converting the STFT/iSTFT ops with coremltools was a pain, so I converted only the network in between and wrote the STFT in Swift with vDSP. To make sure I hadn't broken anything, I exported golden data from Demucs' own _spec/_ispec in Python and wrote tests against it. The Swift version matches PyTorch to about 1e-5. Being able to check every step against PyTorch was …

Hey everyone, Ever since updating to Xcode 27 and moving over to the new Device Hub app, I've been hitting a wall trying to test multi-touch gestures. I’m building an app that relies heavily on zooming, but I can't get pinch-to-zoom or zoom out to work at all. I tried using the standard Mac trackpad gesture, but it completely ignores the input. In the old Simulator, we could use the Option key to bring up the dual-finger touch points, but that doesn't seem to trigger either. Has anyone found a reliable workaround or hidden menu setting to trigger multi-finger gestures in Device Hub? submitted by /u/BeDevForLife [link] [comments]

Ive been developing with SwiftUI/iOS for the last two years and have an app out in production. My entire codebase is already using Swift 6 concurrency but I still never felt confident with it for interviews. So now I'm going through avanderlee's swift concurrency course and I'm learning the difference between closure-based network calls vs one using modern concurrency. In an interview setting would it be bad if I didnt know how to write a closure-based network call? Or should I still be comfortable discussing it to some extent submitted by /u/DarkSombreros [link] [comments]

I'm working on an app and exploring whether we can track a device's total monthly cellular data usage on iOS. On Android, NetworkStatsManager provides a relatively straightforward approach. On iOS, there doesn't seem to be an equivalent public API. One possible workaround is using getifaddrs() to read byte counters from interfaces such as pdp_ip*. However, these counters reportedly wrap at 4 GiB, reset on reboot, and rely on undocumented interface names. Has anyone implemented something similar or are there any better approaches? I'd appreciate any real-world experience or pointers. Thanks! submitted by /u/Lazy-Benefit1863 [link] [comments]

I'm finding it difficult to lock my app in landscape mode, i.e. wide-view. I don't want my app to rotate rotation to portrait when the device is rotated. But every time I rotate the simulator to tall-view, i.e. portrait, the app orientation rotates, causing the contents to get squished. Is this not possible with the Duo, and another view I'm gonna have to support? submitted by /u/6thDAY [link] [comments]

Enriched Markdown for iOS renders Markdown natively in SwiftUI, including `||spoilers||`. By default they're hidden under a particle field, but you can swap the overlay for your own UIView and decide how hidden text looks and how it reveals itself. To show what that unlocks, I built a Hogwarts spellbook: every spell in the video is a custom overlay revealing the same Markdown in its own way. Video of the demo is in the comments 👇 Not every app needs a Patronus, so here's a plain blur. It's one view subclass: final class BlurOverlayView: SpoilerOverlayView { private static let context = CIContext() override func layoutSubviews() { super.layoutSubviews() guard let input = CIImage(image: conce…

Back when i started working on this project as a hobby i chose to implement a well known overused navigation setup instead of using Apple's native navigation (tabview). However that meant that for the iPhone duo i had to move some things around. I released the update like this, but im not completely satisfied with it yet (system ui and my ui offcentered e.g.).

As the article makes clear, this is an experiment: private APIs don’t belong in production App Store code.

It reminds me of Juan Marin’s comment in issue 767, calling UIScreen.main.bounds “a bug waiting for a device” before discussing the iPhone Duo.

Blueprint, by Mustafa Natur, turns your app icon into a blueprint-style version, with colours and badges and custom labels(thanks for that) that give testing builds and release candidates their own character.

Issue 771 9th October 2026 Written by Juan MarinI’ve spent this week at next.app devCon in Berlin, which has been a reminder of why conferences are worth the trip.

Product managers are asked to show growth, and minutes are what the analytics tools hand you by default.

Apple is already handing families better tools to see and limit screen time.

Once people can see the minutes, the minutes stop being a compliment.

What a start to the week…Google shipped a malformed remote config for Firebase SDK that appears to have broken most (all?)

Each time an event like this happens, I see a surge in debate around the dangers of dependencies.

– Andyy HopeGitHub-hosted macOS runners are slow, prone to queueing delays, and very expensive.

As someone who has spent a few hours manually exporting symbols, this is going to be a real boon for my workflow.

Issue 769 25th September 2026 Written by Alex OzunLast week I attended the iPhone Duo Group Lab, and while none of my questions made it to the panel, I came out with a few insights.

Issue 767 11th September 2026 Written by Juan Marin and Alex OzunTo celebrate the launch of iPhone Duo, we have an editorial Duo today: Juan and Alex.

iPhone Duo is the fifth homework assignment like that, and the biggest one yet.

Louie Mantia asked a fair question on Wednesday: Vision Pro was opt-in, so why is this being forced on every iPhone app?

I wondered then to what extent iOS apps would be expected to support split- and multi-screen experiences.

This roughly summarises the upfront effort required to support iPhone Duo, but I can also see how ongoing maintenance and testing could get more involved.

Issue 766 4th September 2026 Written by Andyy HopeG’day y’all!

Speaking of App Store, after 16 years building apps for other people, my very first app Yewki has finally launched.

Our Apple Foundation Models book shipped in July, with an in-depth course on using AI as a development tool coming this autumn.

The author of this repo claims that this tool enables compiling iOS apps on Windows and Linux systems.

I wouldn’t recommend uploading the build artefacts to App Store Connect though.

Issue 765 28th August 2026 Written by Alex OzunI keep in touch with many folks in Apple Developer Community who maintain fairly old iOS apps.

Most conventional iOS apps could safely ignore scenes and carry on with the UIApplicationDelegate + UIScreen.main combo, focusing only on full-screen experiences.

Well, we don’t know how successful the foldable iPhone is going to be, or to what extent iOS apps will be expected to support split/multi-screen experiences.

Whatever expectations are placed on iOS apps will be felt immediately.

M6 Mac mini now starts at $899, compared with the $699 launch price of M4 Mac mini, which was later bumped to $799.

That feels important because many people building iOS apps with AI agents seem to run into the same issue: performance, observability and scalability.

It doesn’t really think like a staff-level engineer.

Issue 763 14th August 2026 Written by Juan MarinI’m back for another issue.

People stop posting opinions and start posting findings, and for about six weeks the ratio of genuinely useful blog posts goes up.

If you’re planning to file feedback on a beta, do it now rather than in a month.

To mark it, we’re continuing the exclusive 25% discount 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.

Apple unveiled its “biggest update ever” for the iPad mini this week, introducing a thinner, lighter design and an OLED display.

While the new iPad mini features an OLED display, it doesn’t support ProMotion.

One of the things that’s really cool about OLED is it actually has this really fast pixel response time.

In addition to being lighter and thinner, the new iPad mini is also IP67-rated for water and dust resistance, a first for an iPad.

The new iPad mini is available to pre-order now, with the first orders arriving on November 6.

iOS 27.2 launched this week with many new features, including an upgrade for the Apple TV app that’s especially perfect for iPhone Duo: Multiview.

And a new video feature in iOS 27.2—Multiview—makes me hope the streamer adds even more sports soon.

It’s available for all sports events included in an Apple TV subscription.

Once you start watching a sports event you’ll see a new ‘Multiview’ button at the bottom of the Apple TV player.

Apple TV is available for $14.99 per month, or you can get it discounted through the Apple One bundle.

Apple’s new MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display (pre-order here) includes a variety of software optimizations for touch input.

But Apple says it’s “only getting started” making macOS more touch-friendly.

But it sounds like Apple plans to roll out even more macOS optimizations for touch in the future.

iOS 27.2 launched this week with a variety of new features for Siri AI, FaceTime, Messages, and more, plus a handful of improvements for the Shortcuts app.

iOS 27.2’s Shortcuts app adds key iPhone Duo automation, plus improvements to several other featuresiPhone Duo launched with iOS 27.1 last week, but just days later iOS 27.2 arrived with a pair of compelling new Duo features.

But it turns out that iOS 27.2 also introduced a key iPhone Duo automation in Shortcuts that’s proven popular.

The ability to automate actions based on whether your iPhone is opened or closed arrived in iOS 27.2, per Apple’s release notes for the Shortcuts app.

Apple released iOS 27.2 this week with new features for Messages, Siri AI, and Photos, plus an Apple Music rebrand and more.

But work on iOS 27.3 is already well underway, here’s when to expect the next big iPhone update.

That means iOS 27.3 is up next, and its release should align with historic patterns for x.2 updates.

As for new iPhone features in iOS 27.3, we’ll know a lot more after the beta arrives.

Will you install the iOS 27.3 beta or wait for the release version?

The MacBook Neo was already a bargain by Mac standards when it launched with a starting price of $599, but for students an education price of $499 made it a steal.

Sadly, that changed back in June when both retail and education prices rose by $100.

Now, however, the education price has been raised even further …As Macworld noted, Apple has increased the education price of the MacBook Neo to $649, a saving of just $50 over the standard price – and a full $150 more than it cost students when it first launched.

If you’re looking for a better deal, the site notes that Apple’s refurbished store is currently offering the base model for $599.

Steve Jobs famously dismissed the idea of a touchscreen Mac back in 2010 when he said that it “gives great demo” but turns out to be “ergonomically terrible” in real-life use.

It was inevitable that eyebrows would be raised when the company did a U-turn on this by launching the first touchscreen Mac.

I’m not interested in a touchscreen MacI’m a Mac guy through and through, right from the original Macintosh back in 1984.

The only time I used the touchscreen was for scrolling, especially when I wanted to scroll a significant way down a page.

The nightmare scenario for Mac users was Apple compromising the interface in order to support touch.

Apple is lowering the commission that it collects in Taiwan to 26 percent, down from 30 percent.

Apple plans to drop the rate for in-app purchase and paid app transactions on the iOS and iPadOS Taiwan storefront starting on October 31.

The change comes after Apple held discussions with the Taiwan Fair Trade Commission (TFTC).

Apple says developers do not need to sign updated terms by October 31 to get the reduced commission rate.

Apple normally charges a lower rate for Small Business Program members, but the announcement about the Taiwan commission changes doesn't include that information.

Amazon's $9 pre-order discount on the HomeView has returned for the Space Gray color, allowing you to get the home hub for $289.99, down from $299.00.

Although only a $9 discount, this is still biggest deal we've seen on the HomeView, and as of writing only Amazon is offering any sort of discount on the device.

Amazon's delivery estimates have begun stretching into late November, past the HomeView's launch date of November 13.

In terms of pre-order discounts, Amazon also has the new Apple TV 4K for $289.99, down from $299.00, with an estimated delivery date on launch day of November 13.

If you installed Popcorn Time on a Mac years ago, part of the app may still be running, and it may have left your Mac open to attack.

Fortunately, Eye Research says it found no evidence that criminals had done so.

Eye Research said it took control of an abandoned address used by the update checker, and it estimates that 250,000 to 350,000 Macs were affected.

Even so, this fix doesn't address other vulnerabilities in Time4Popcorn, and some updated addresses remain outside the researchers' control.

For all the details, check out the Eye Research report.

The new MacBook Pro models with OLED displays have an accessibility setting that allows you to turn off touch input entirely, according to MacStories editor-in-chief Federico Viticci.

He also said there is an option to turn on pinch-to-zoom functionality across the macOS Golden Gate interface.

Apple's new MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display features tandem OLED technology, touchscreen input, the Dynamic Island, and a thinner, lighter design.

It joins the existing Liquid Retina XDR models introduced in March 2026, with both versions offering the same M5 Pro and M5 Max chips.

The 14-inch M5 Pro starts at $2,499 with Liquid Retina XDR or $2,899 with PROLED XDR, while the corresponding 16-inch models start at $2,999 and $3,399.

For most existing M5 Pro and M5 Max ‌MacBook Pro‌ owners, there is little reason to upgrade.

The touchscreen is a welcome addition for some users, but it is highly unlikely to justify replacing a recent ‌MacBook Pro‌ by itself.

Apple announced an array of new products this week, including the iPad mini 8, M6 iMac, M6 14-inch MacBook Pro, and PROLED XDR MacBook Pro.

iPad Mini 8Apple's iPad mini 8 starts at $699.00 for the 128GB Wi-Fi tablet, and this generation comes in just two colors: Midnight and Starlight.

Amazon, B&H Photo, and Best Buy all have pre-orders up, but only Best Buy has any sort of offer for early adopters: a $50 Best Buy gift card.

PROLED XDR MacBook ProSimilar to the M6 MacBook Pro, Best Buy is offering $100 gift cards with the pre-order of any PROLED XDR 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro.

Following more than two weeks of pre-orders, the HomePod mini 2 will begin arriving to customers and launch in stores this Friday, October 30.

HomePod mini 2 is powered by the Apple Watch Series 10's S10 chip, up from the Apple Watch Series 5's S5 chip in the original HomePod mini.

The new fourth-generation Apple TV 4K can connect to four HomePod mini 2 or full-sized HomePod 2 speakers in front and rear pairs, allowing for surround sound.

For example, you could have two full-sized HomePod 2 speakers as the front pair and use two HomePod mini 2 speakers as the rear pair.

HomePod mini 2 is available in all-new green and pink color options, along with blue, midnight, and white.

Apple announced a new MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display on Wednesday.

Menu bar items expand under a fingertip, window controls get bigger, and the Dynamic Island pulls down into a floating widget, amongst other changes.

A Pull-Down Dynamic IslandElsewhere, the new MacBook Pro replaces the notch with a Dynamic Island where Spotlight, Live Activities, and Siri AI live.

Apple says macOS automatically translates touch into clicks, so many existing apps will work with touch right away – no developer updates required.

How well the interactions hold up in daily use is something we'll only be able to judge when the new MacBook Pro arrives in customers' hands.

headline ) } }When using the some keyword, the compiler will infer the underlying concrete type that’s actually being returned, which is especially helpful when working with APIs that heavily utilize generics — such as SwiftUI.

In fact, we can use it to solve similar generics-based problems, and as syntactic sugar, across a wide range of use cases.

This is where the some keyword comes in, which — just like when using SwiftUI — can help us avoid some of the complexity involved in working with generics.

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 …

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…

Van and his delightful wife passed away years ago, before I learned how either of them felt on any political issue.

If they were my neighbors today, how likely would that be?

Как дизайнить приложения под DuoКак я и писал в понедельник, основная беда Duo на сегодня – малое количество адаптированных приложений. Поэтому держите статью, которая может вас вдохновить на красивые визуальные решения, если все-таки решите портировать.

UIKit vs SwiftUIПоследние пару недель в Твиттере в очередной раз разгорелись споры о том, а есть ли вообще смысл в SwiftUI, если его основная ценность была в человеческом DX, а сегодня весь код все равно пишут агенты. Помимо споров, люди горяют разного рода бенчмарки, на которых просят агента сделать одно и то же приложение на двух фреймворках – и SwiftUI консистентно проигрывает везде.Расскажите, а вы-то что думаете, какой вообще смысл в SwiftUI сегодня?

Обзор на iPhone DuoНа прошлой неделе первые iPhone Duo начали попадать в руки людей, а вместе с ними полетели и отзывы. Вот эта рецензия мне показалась самой полной и интересной. TL;DR: в разложенном режиме великолепно, в сложенном – так себе, с адаптацией приложений пока беда. В итоге я пока что передумал брать себе, скорее всего буду ждать второго поколения.

Как собрать эвалы из своих агентских сессийДержите классный гайд от автора бенчмарка SWE-ReBench про то, как собрать свой собственный простой эвал на основе своих же существующих агентских трейсов. Эти эвалы вы сможете использовать для сравнения новых моделей, харнессов и скиллов.

Как удалить мусорные тестыКаждое поколение моделей сходит с ума по-своему. Текущее, помимо прочего, пишет юнит-тесты как не в себя, поэтому любой хоть сколько-то крупный проект обзавелся уже тысячами их. При этом подавляющая часть тестов абсолютно бесполезны.Автор статьи перечитал книгу Orta Therox 2016 года, вытащил из нее правила того, что делает тест хорошим, и собрал из этого специальный скилл для зачистки вашего тест-сьюта.

Новый xctrace skillВ обновлении Xcode появился еще один скилл – теперь агентам проще использовать Instruments прямо в консоли: записывать и читать трейсы, разбирать call trees, разбирать подвисания.

Держите расшифровку с разбором таких вопросов как:👉В чем ограничения тестирования приложений под Duo на симуляторе👉Как открытие/закрытие влияет на камеру в приложениях👉Как стоит обрабатывать кейс стационарной позиции👉Как себя ведет TextView

Новый CLI тул xcodeprojВ Xcode 27.2 Beta 3 появился новый CLI инструмент – xcodeproj. Никакой документации пока нет, но судя по API, предназначен он в первую очередь для агентов, чтобы им проще было создавать новый проект, добавлять таргеты, менять настройки проекта и делать другие похожие штуки.

Личный сайт на SwiftUI-like компонентахРазбор того, как можно сделать простой web-фреймворк на базе Elementary, и поверх него написать личный сайт. Отличный проект на выходные!

Как исследовать macOS приложения с lldbЗакапываемся в то, как lldb работает под капотом, и как с его помощью можно подключиться к любому приложению, заставить его выполнять произвольные команды, а затем завернуть это в свой собственный инструмент разработчика.

Карта зависимостей системных фреймворковДержите классный граф, на котором можно посмотреть, что импортируют в себя фреймворки всех Apple ОС.

Обновленный SwiftUI скилл от Пола ХадсонаОдин из самых популярных скиллов для iOS разработки дорос до второй версии и получил актуальные знания про разработку под Duo и iOS 27.

Про модификаторы SwiftUIАвтор статьи отрендерил восемь разных цепочек модификаторов и сравнил результат со своими расчетами на CGAffineTransform, чтобы разобраться с логикой их работы:👉Если нужен сдвиг в точках родителя независимо от масштаба, ставь .offset после .scaleEffect.👉Если нужно, чтобы масштаб умножал сдвиг, ставь .offset до него, но с значениями, кратными пикселю.👉frame перед rotationEffect меняет точку вращения, так что заранее реши, относительно какого прямоугольника крутишь.

CLI для SF SymbolsНедавно в SF Symbols появился CLI с двумя командами – search и export. Он особенно полезен для агентов, чтобы быстро подюирать подходящие символы по названиям и проверять, что они существуют.

Xcode has always been great at eating disk space. DerivedData, simulators, test results… you name it. And now that we’re running multiple AI agents across Git worktrees, we’re basically feeding it even faster.Antoine van der Lee made a handy Agent Skill that helps you find and clean up Xcode leftovers.Ideally, you should automate cleanup with worktree hooks and scripts. But if you haven’t done that yet, this is a pretty good place to start.https://github.com/AvdLee/Xcode-Disk-Cleanup-Agent-Skill#Xcode #AI

Go make your designers happy — starting April 2027, all apps and games submitted to the App Store will need to include screenshots for iPhone Duo.https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=kkphp5qo

Xcode 27 makes MCP much more interesting — with the new headless server, coding agents can use Xcode tools and render SwiftUI previews without keeping Xcode open.Unfortunately, Preview MCP still has some rough edges. You can’t reliably choose the rendering device, and sometimes Xcode happily gives your agent an old screenshot after the code has already changed.Fatbobman ran into these problems in real AI workflows and came up with some clever workarounds.https://fatbobman.com/en/posts/letting-ai-see-swiftui/#Xcode #SwiftUI #AI

Xcode 27 RC is out and App Store submissions are already open.If your app still uses the old UIApplicationDelegate-based lifecycle without UIScene, now is the time to migrate. Apps built with the iOS 27 SDK won’t launch without the scene-based lifecycle.FYI, UIScreen.main is deprecated toohttps://developer.apple.com/documentation/Technotes/tn3187-Migrating-to-the-UIKit-scene-based-life-cycle

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…

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

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
