Is there an Xcode setting to make the back/forward navigation NOT SWITCH TABS‽ If I've navigated inside two different tabs, it's incredibly disorienting to try to use history navigation now, to a point where I can barely use it. How does Xcode's UI manage to get worse with every release 😭 God I […]

I just realized that I built agents for Objective C in a way that is very very similar to Swift Agents, _in 2013_. https://nevyn.me/2013/01/30/methods-of-concurrency/#agents That's crazy! I get to brag about that, right? 😅 sp_agentAsync returns an invocation […] [Original post on mas.to]

Instagram gave me a satisfaction survey. I think my reply was pithy so now you get it too. ”Short form video is a drug. Nobody wants it, they’re just addicted to it. And every social media app adds it because they think engagement = enjoyment. You ruin peoples lives with data driven development.”

"I strongly expect that the entire concept of an agentic browser extension is fatally flawed and cannot be built safely" — or agentic anything imho. You just can't make LLMs agentic in a secure manner. This is why Siri isn't powered by an LLM, still. And this is why the "AI hype" will crash and […]

Announcing AlloDataChannel: a new lightweight WebRTC library in modern Swift, wrapping libdatachannel. Read more: https://github.com/alloverse/AlloDataChannel AlloDataChannel's reason-to-be is to write WebRTC server applications on Linux. I tried to get Google's […] [Original post on mas.to]

I really love this extremely dry humor in the WWDC25 session "Better together: SwiftUI and RealityKit" with Amanda Wixted and Maksim Tolchilkin ;D I also really love how RealityKit and SwiftUI start working more sanely together in visionOS 26 :) Attachments are way […] [Original post on mas.to]

Super disappointed by my #visionos experience today :( Forgot my laptop at home, tried to do my meeting from my AVP. Every app I needed had been removed from AppStore, even in iPad compatibility! No Google Meet, Sheets, Nomachine. Web equivalents unusable from Safari […] [Original post on mas.to]

How insanely futuristic is this? I’m trying out a new app in my AVP #visionos, while my son is casting to it from his Quest 3, so I can assist him while he’s also trying out a new game (he doesn’t speak English). I can see his VR view in a window, while I’m doing my thing.

I made a Github Actions Workflow for building a Mac+visionOS build for both notarized, AppStore and TestFlight distribution, with automatic push to external testing. I found very scarce resources on doing this without Fastlane, so I'm sharing my sources to save others […] [Original post on mas.to]

I seem to be the only person on this planet building a RealityKit app for Mac. I keep running into problems that have zero hits on google. Apparently compiling my project now requires GPU resources, which Xcode Cloud just doesn't have, and there's no way to pay for […] [Original post on mas.to]

iPad is an incredible form-factor trapped in an idealistic tunnel-vision fantasy, that could have been resolved at any point in the past five years with the ability to dual-boot or virtualize macOS. You could give iPadOS fifteen more years of progress at its current rate, and it still wouldn't […]

I'm working on a rewrite of the Alloverse underpinnings in Swift. I'm having a lot of fun. Things that took me weeks to write in C takes days, or even hours. Here's a very basic demo. The left is the GUI client, and to the right is a completely different process on […] [Original post on mas.to]

Imagine building the two best UI frameworks in the world and then throwing it all away to chase a trend that optimizes for developer ease of use vs software quality, designed to 'look nice' on slides and originally intended for a smartwatch

Anyone else having trouble with Apple’s dev servers? I can't log into Feedback Assistant, and Xcode Cloud just spins forever. Apple's status says they're all up tho. #visionos #xcode #iosdev

And brace styles. This is the ultimate brace style. Mmmmmmmh UML https://furry.energy/@finn/113718846659754249

Android XR really is a shameless clone of all the good bits of visionOS and its concepts & UI. The design docs even use very similar illustrations for things like spatial design

Mastodon etiquette: when making a thread, should one make all replies to the initial post, or should post each post in the thread as a reply to the previous post in the thread? I e A->B, A->C, A->D, or A->B->C->D? I think on Twitter it was the former, but the UI doesn't seem super happy with […]

I just noticed that RealityView doesn't have the attachment API on macOS/iOS, only visionOS. How the heck am I supposed to attach SwiftUI elements to entity locations on those platforms? Am I supposed to unproject locations on my own per-frame just because it's on a flat platform? :S #visionos

Apple’s complete abuse of Notarization is going to be the reason the EC comes down hard on them, and it’s wild how ignorant they are 💀 They just truly don’t give a flying fuck about indie developers https://mastodon.social/@maczydeco/113527850662678715

I keep running into very sparse documentation for #visionOS. Most often, the actual information needed is hidden in an hour long video somewhere. Like this one on SpatialTapGesture.location3D, the whole page contains only redundant information already given by the […] [Original post on mas.to]
