SwiftUI introduced APIs, allowing us to recompose complex view hierarchies, including sections. Similarly to the subviews parameter, SwiftUI defines another overload on the ForEach type, allowing us to enumerate sections. swiftwithmajid.com/2024/10/01/m...

You can always check whenever the platform you are running supports multiple window environments using the supportsMultipleWindows environment value. swiftwithmajid.com/2022/11/02/w...

SwiftUI introduced the ScrollGeometry type with the onScrollGeometryChange view modifier to accurately read content offset. It provides properties like content offset, bounds, container size, visible rectangle, content insets, and content size. swiftwithmajid.com/2024/06/25/m...

The searchFocused view modifier binds the focus of a search field created with the searchable view modifier. It functions like the focused view modifier, but only affects the text field in the current view hierarchy’s search bar. swiftwithmajid.com/2021/08/24/m...

Introducing Swift Configuration 🎉 You'll also hear more about it at @serversideswift.info next week! 🏎️ forums.swift.org/t/introducin...

Coding agents are gaining popularity, but UI and unit tests have become even more powerful. Whenever agents make changes to a UI feature, I request that they run UI tests to ensure that everything functions as intended. swiftwithmajid.com/2021/03/18/u...

My favorite thing about Jujutsu VCS is the absorb command. It move changes from a source revision into its mutable ancestors: splits by file paths & last edits. It uses blame to find suitable changes. jj-vcs.github.io/jj/latest/cl...

Swift Charts framework allows us to select a single value and a range of values. We can use chartXSelection and chartYSelection with the binding of ClosedRange type to allow range selection. swiftwithmajid.com/2023/07/18/m...

Another excellent article on using Jujutsu VCS with existing Git repositories. blog.nshephard.dev/posts/jujutsu/

I'll never stop yapping out the jujutsu VCS. It's such a good tool and has entirely replaced Git for me, tbh. Even for the most simple of operations I find jj to be much more ergonomic. You also get the op log for free! :D

I’ve been using Jujutsu for all my projects for almost a week now. I genuinely prefer its workflows over Git, especially the Edit workflow. It feels more intuitive for my trunk-based development approach. steveklabnik.github.io/jujutsu-tuto...

FeatureFlags, typically described as a simple struct, enables us to place its instance in the SwiftUI environment. This allows us to share it within the view hierarchy, enabling our views to toggle the functionality of specific features. swiftwithmajid.com/2025/09/16/f...

The most challenging aspect of using agentic coding tools for me is to accept that the generated code may not be an exact reflection of my thoughts and to refrain from spending excessive time prompting for minor changes.

Federico Viticci’s in-depth iOS 26 review: ‘A new era for Apple’s software’

Step through the essential setup for AlarmKit timers in iOS 26, from requesting authorization and scheduling a countdown to presenting the Live Activity and an in-app list of active timers: nilcoalescing.com/blog/Countdo... #iOSDev

Almost every feature I’m working on has a feature flag for enabling it in debug and TestFlight builds. Since I merge branches even when the feature isn’t fully implemented, I use feature flags to temporarily disable them. swiftwithmajid.com/2025/09/16/f...

The iPhone Air looks pretty sleek tbh… 👀

Project I work on has three setups: Debug, TestFlight, and App Store. These configurations differ in build settings and functionality. We’ll learn how to implement feature flags in Swift to toggle specific functionalities under certain conditions. swiftwithmajid.com/2025/09/16/f...

TIL Codex finally supports resuming previous conversations, but you be need to start it with ‘codex resume’ to see history.

Jujutsu simplifies numerous tasks that are challenging in Git. I’m contemplating switching to Jujutsu for my projects. kubamartin.com/posts/introd...

Sure, we all know how to use glassBackgroundEffect to add glass to a SwiftUI view. But did you know there are other effects, crop shapes, and a powerful implicit display mode? #visionOS #SwiftUI stepinto.vision/example-code...

With its third major version, visionOS shows no signs of slowing down. I'm pleased to present visionOS 26: The MacStories Review, covering widgets, spatial scenes, wide field-of-view video, the Jupiter environment, the spatial web, and more. macstories.net/stories/vision...

Day 1 with Xcode Intelligence. Xcode Intelligence feels stupid after Codex CLI. I wrote a few lines of code and ask to review my changes. And it says I can't find what did you change.

No featuring for CardioBot, but it is a huge update. Say hello to the new liquid glass design and smarter coaching powered by on-device intelligence. #showcase25 @stroughtonsmith.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy t.co/hCFVBXMJmQ

I use StoreKit 2 in all my apps to generate revenue. The new Swift API simplifies handling subscriptions in your app to an unprecedented extent. With just a hundred lines of code, you can create a fully functional and customizable paywall. swiftwithmajid.com/2023/08/01/m...

SwiftUI’s SceneStorage property wrapper stores values in the current scene’s memory. Each scene has private storage that other scenes can’t access. The system manages per-scene storage, and it restores SceneStorage property wrappers when the app relaunches. swiftwithmajid.com/2022/03/10/s...

Anyone here using Jujutsu - a version control system?

Developers – I will be sharing posts from apps updated for iOS 26 tomorrow. Create a post sharing both what your app does and what’s new, and I’ll add it to an ongoing thread – on all platforms. Reply here or when you see the post on Monday. Looking forward to seeing your updates!

CardioBot with Liquid Glass design and coaching powered by Apple Foundation Model is already on the App Store. apps.apple.com/us/app/cardi...

I can't find you folks. Where sits the majority of the Swift community? X? Blue Sky? Mastodon?

Trigger value allows us to attach a view modifier that runs its action whenever the trigger value changes. You can find this pattern while using sensory feedback or launching keyframe animation in SwiftUI. swiftwithmajid.com/2024/04/02/t...

If you're struggling with Silksong, here is a tip: It is more important to avoid getting hit than it is to hit. Every single enemy attack follows a pattern that can be identified and dodged. Patience is the key. Think of it more as a platformer than an action game and you'll have a much better time

A phantom type is a generic type that is declared but never used inside a type where it is declared. It is usually used as a generic constraint to build a more type-safe and robust API. swiftwithmajid.com/2021/02/18/p...

We encounter bugs that are very hard to catch in the debugger from time to time. For example, it might occur only after a few days of app usage. Logging is an excellent technique to track and understand user actions through the app. swiftwithmajid.com/2022/04/06/l...

SwiftUI framework introduced the ScrollPosition type, allowing us to combine and track the scroll position by offset, the edge of the scroll view, view identifier, etc. We can easily animate programmatic scrolling by attaching the animation view modifier. swiftwithmajid.com/2024/06/17/m...

Through all the highs and lows, I’ve been working on this app for 10 years. It’s truly my passion project. Happy birthday! apps.apple.com/us/app/cardi...

Dynamic member lookup is an excellent way to enhance APIs when you create a wrapper or proxy type. It’s particularly useful when you have a type that holds a generic property. swiftwithmajid.com/2023/05/23/d...

We can setup and handle background tasks using the SwiftUI app lifecycle. To handle app refresh tasks in SwiftUI, we have the backgroundTask modifier that we can attach to any scene. swiftwithmajid.com/2022/07/06/b...

The new sensoryFeedback view modifier, allowing us to play haptic feedback on all Apple platforms. All we need to play haptic feedback in a SwiftUI view is to attach the sensoryFeedback view modifier with two parameters. swiftwithmajid.com/2023/10/10/s...

Lazy grids work great for the massive data you want to display. But it is not always possible to arrange the columns strictly because of their lazy nature. For these cases, SwiftUI introduces another type of grid that immediately lays out its children. swiftwithmajid.com/2022/08/10/m...

In order to receive response from Foundational Model in a structured format, you have to conform you response type to the Generable protocol. Swift simplifies this task by introducing the Generable macro that we use to annotate our type. swiftwithmajid.com/2025/08/26/b...

Make your views and controls fit perfectly within their containers using new SwiftUI APIs in iOS 26 such as the ConcentricRectangle shape and the containerShape() view modifier: nilcoalescing.com/blog/Concent... #SwiftUI #iOSDev

Last week, we talked about the basics of Foundation Models, how to generate text content, and how to tune and control the output. This week, we will talk about simple and yet powerful structured content generation. swiftwithmajid.com/2025/08/26/b...

Defining environment values with the @Entry macro is really simple. Keep in mind that it creates not only environment values, but also works with transaction, container values, or focused values entry. swiftwithmajid.com/2024/07/09/i...

This is how the random sampling works. You fix the number of available responses and provide a stable seed. As soon as, seed changes the response changes, but it returns the same response for the same prompt while the seed is the same. swiftwithmajid.com/2025/08/19/b...

What is the easiest AI recommendation system you can build in Swift with help Foundation Models? The key is to experiment, tune the prompt for your use case. swiftwithmajid.com/2025/08/19/b...

Apple introduced the brand-new Foundational Models framework, providing type-safe APIs for using Apple Intelligence models in your apps. This week, we will learn how to use this new framework while building AI features in your apps. swiftwithmajid.com/2025/08/19/b...

With the recent release of the SwiftUI framework, it simplified the usage of the Animatable protocol by introducing the Animatable macro. Now you can simply mark the view or shape type with the Animatable macro, and it will animate all the stored properties. swiftwithmajid.com/2025/07/08/i...
