Quick poll: in a mobile app, do you prefer a pure white/black theme, or something softer with off-whites, off-blacks, and a bit of color?

I agree with John le Carré: it’s the best espionage book I’ve ever read. #books

Is anyone else working on their iOS app onboarding today? #iosdev

Which #iosdev feed do you use the most?

Name this staircase #books #booksky

Is this what you mean by building in public? #buildinpublic #iosdev

If you like some tech industry gossip (I know I do), listen to this!

Do you have any tips for nicely displaying a lifetime purchase alongside subscriptions with StoreKit? Like SubscriptionStoreView, but for all of them? #iosdev #buildinpublic

Indie iOS devs: do you use Apple’s generated international prices, or manually override key countries? I set lifetime access at 29.99$ and App Store Connect maps it to 34.99€. I’d prefer 29.99€ because 34.99€ feels ugly, but overriding every country is tedious. What do you do? #iosdev

What would you save here to remind yourself of regularly? #mindset #motivation #focus

I’m wondering what you think about not using liquid glass on icons. The color looks sharper without it. I’m torn between following the system guidelines and having an icon that stands out more. Any advice? #iosdev #buildinpublic #appdev

Did you know you can do that in Safari? #apple #iphone

What do you keep telling yourself over and over, wishing it would become part of who you are, but it never really sticks? I'll select the best ones and add them to my app :) #selfreflection #growth

Any idea how John Ternus might change Apple’s relationship with developers?

Great interview with @selig.bsky.social about Reddit, Apollo, and a lot of other things that should interest developers out there: www.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/... #iosdev #indiedev

I discovered Tim Toady today: "There's more than one way to do it" (TMTOWTDI)

Any advice on how to use TikTok and Instagram for marketing an iOS app from people who have tried it? #iosdev #marketing

Good discussion about the open social web at the international journalism festival with people from Bluesky and Mastodon: www.youtube.com/live/CQZ9kRS... #IJF26 #Bluesky #Mastodon

Damn, it feels good to have finally settled on a name for my first app. It’s been eating at me for weeks. The domain and social handles are reserved, all is good :) #iosdev

Quiet morning coffee. #urbanphotography #barcelona #photography

Time to wake up. #photography #sunrise #spain

Apple universal links are powerful and easy to set up. You can try using them to increase the shareability of your app. #iosdev

Interesting article about the interaction between software and hardware by @aresluna.org I'll try to keep it in mind in what I do! (And I will think about Apple Pay every time I use an ATM) unsung.aresluna.org/software-pro... #design

Starting to read this book on graphic design. Do you have any other recommendations? #design #graphicdesign

Am I the only one for whom copy/paste with keyboard shortcuts in the hex color text field in Icon Composer doesn’t work? It’s really frustrating. #iosdev

Toulouse, France

Interesting book about logo design by George Bokhua.

Black on white or white on green? #ios #icondesign

Amazing video about the basics of animation: youtu.be/pF--YKCCUMw?...

I really enjoyed this video. And I'm probably going to change things in my app following their advice. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGcq... #swiftui #iosdev

Which colors do you prefer for the cards? The orange (first part of the video) or gray/white (second part)? #swiftui #iosdev

Nice video about agentic coding in Xcode: developer.apple.com/videos/play/...

Beautiful library in Toulouse, France.

I’m going crazy trying to find a name for an app.

Trying out a new onboarding screen. What do you think? Obviously the icon and the app name are not done yet! Credit goes to Kavsoft for the design. #swiftui #iosdev

I just discovered this youtube channel for SwiftUI animations. Highly recommended! youtube.com/@kavsoft?si=... #iosdev #swiftui

Found a nice little place to work #indie #coffee

Always a joy to listen to Jony. Can’t wait to see what comes out of this in less than 2 years! youtu.be/bkCe6gpNutU?... #design #ai

Nice little animations for SF Symbols. Do you have a better idea for the medium symbol? #iosdev #swiftui

Anyone know how to hide breadcrumbs in #xcode?

Which social media do you think has the best indie iOS dev community? #iosdev #indiedev

Very nice introduction to the use of on-device Apple Intelligence for developers: youtu.be/p17HrjVQKOQ?...

It's incredible how easy it is to use WeatherKit and Core Location to get weather data for the current location. It would have been a whole different beast a couple of years ago.
