Something new is coming to @getskydeck.app 👀

Nice growth lately: +31 followers. Tracking it with @getskydeck.app #SkyDeckApp

I think I found another good solution for using the TabViewBottomAccessory #SwiftUI #iOSDev

Are there any iOS apps out there which are using the TabViewBottomAccessory and are not a music or podcast app? I‘m looking for some inspirations #SwiftUI

Just noticed that my TestFlights for @getskydeck.app have expired. I’m still working on the OS26 updates and haven’t had much time over the past few weeks. Unfortunately, this means I’ll also miss the on-time release for the new OS versions today 😬 #iOSDev #Skydeck

If you want to leverage the new #SwiftUI modifiers in your existing codebase, here’s a quick example of how you can achieve this—no need to change your views once you set iOS 26 as your minimum deployment target. #iOSDev #WWDC25 #iOS26

I'm wondering how we’re supposed to support the design split between iOS 18 and iOS 26. If I just update my UI, it will also change the look & feel on iOS 18. Especially with custom implementations, I see a lot of extra work coming with `if #available(iOS 26.0, *)`. #WWDC25

in xcode 26, newly created projects have their default actor isolation set to MainActor, which means all types declared in the project will implicitly have `MainActor` added. it seems there should be an option to add this choice when creating the project.

SwiftData Bug Fixed! The issue where modifications to ModelActor in a private context were not immediately reflected in the view has been fixed. Additionally, this issue has been resolved for SwiftData applications compiled with Xcode 26 on iOS 18.

Beyond excited to share our new iOS 26 UI Kit for @sketch.com. Completely rebuilt for the new #Apple #Design system. This is a beta, but we went hard to make it as complete and accurate as we could. sketch.com/s/f63aa308-1...

This definitely needs to be fixed first 🙃 #iOS26 #SkyDeckApp

#SwiftUI WebView 🥳 #WWDC25

No more structured outputs with JSON description 🤩 #WWDC25

Only one #SwiftData video, but it looks promising. developer.apple.com/videos/play/... #WWDC25

All videos will be available in one hour today. It’s going to be a long night… #WWDC25

How is this possible? I thought it was supposed to be better? #WWDC25

"Xcode 26" Thanks, #Apple, for aligning this as well. #WWDC25

I like the new design on macOS, but on iOS, I’m not quite convinced yet… The icons look too bulky—maybe we’ll have to wait for the next iPhone to really get the full picture 🔎 #WWDC25

"expanded our vision for Swift Assist" = "we try to keep up with the competition" 😄 #WWDC25

New indie dev goal: make it into the App Store Reviews song

No A anymore? #WWDC25

So if you can use Apple Intelligence in Shortcuts why shouldn’t there an API for it 🙃 #WWDC

Looks like there is a new dedicated app for creating icons.

Took longer than usual but right before WWDC ☺️ #BuildInPublic #iOSDev

Running multiple Bluesky accounts? SkyDeck Pro lets you track growth, compare engagement, and manage everything in one place. No backend, no gimmicks – just stats that matter. 📲 https://apple.co/4bRq4H0 #BlueskyStats #SkyDeckPro

Are you (or your codebase) ready? 🤩 #WWDC #iOSDev #Apple #Xcode

Reminder before WWDC that I have an Apple Dev feed here that should hopefully catch a lot of relevant posts automatically by keywords: bsky.app/profile/did:... - you can also use hashtags like #iOSDev #MacDev #SwiftUI #SwiftLang to make sure a post is included 🍎

🚀 The next SkyDeck update is in review! 👋 New Feature: Unfollows See who left – right from your Dashboard. Dive into the full list and keep track of your audience dynamics. 🛠️ Plus: Improved sync & small performance boosts. Coming soon to the App Store! 📲

Just submitted the next version for @getskydeck.app 🤞 And all with @helm-app.bsky.social on iOS ☺️ #BuildInPublic #iOSDev #SkyDeck #Unfollows #Tracker

And this is how it looks on the dashboard (for now 😉) #BuildInPublic #iOSDev

The next feature is landing on @getskydeck.app! Unfollows have been tracked since v1.1.0, and now with v1.3.0, the UI is finally here to view them. Still figuring out the best way to represent them on the dashboard…

It's 2025, and you should forget about MVVM in SwiftUI! dimillian.medium.com/swiftui-in-2...

Try to use Label in #SwiftUI whenever possible. Even if the text isn’t visible, it still improves accessibility. For example, the compactMenu style of ControlGroup hides the label text, but VoiceOver will still read it aloud. #iOSDev

I think I lost my focus on #SkyDeck... but on the bright side, my Network stack not only handles custom-defined rate limits but also pauses synchronization during poor network conditions. 😅 #BuildInPublic #iOSDev #AtProto #MobileDev

My #Swiftlang #ATProto API library, ATProtoKit, has been updated to version 0.28.0. APIClientService will now have its own instances attached to each instance to ATProtoKit. This has been through the work of @freiwald.dev and I appreciate his time with this. #atdev

🥳 I can now set custom rate limits for my different sync services. This helps prevent updates from hitting the official rate limit, so users can still use other features like following or blocking. #BuildInPublic #iOSDev #ATProto

Just wrapped up another big SkyDeck refactor! ✅ Now running on the latest ATProtoKit session management with all-new networking under the hood. Next: smarter rate limit handling so big accounts don’t get blocked! 🚫 #BuildInPublic #iOSDev #Swift #ATProto

Submitted a new beta build to TestFlight with the iOS version of @helm-app.bsky.social 🤩

So happy to finally introduce a super cool tool I made for @sprk.so: Airport ✈️ It makes AT Protocol migrations between PDS servers available to anyone with a simple web interface. Check it out at atpairport.com Star it on Github at github.com/knotbin/airport

After a week of tweaking the #SkyDeck Update Engine, I’m finally happy with where it’s at! 🚀 BlockRecords are ready—so blocked profiles will be hidden from the Engagement Leaderboard once released. Next up: updating #ATProtoKit with the new session handling. Wish me luck! 🤞 #iOSDev #BuildInPublic

And that's a wrap — for now! 😊 Super happy with how this turned out. The new filter and sheet view feel intuitive and clean. Would love to hear your thoughts about the toggle behavior for the engagement metrics! #BuildInPublic #iOSDev #SwiftUI #UXDesign

I’m really leaning toward this approach—it feels much better! Just a few more UI tweaks, and it should be solid. 🚀 #BuildInPublic #iOSDev #SwiftUI #UXDesign #Filters #SheetView

Thinking of adding another filter to the Post Performance feature in @getskydeck.app Currently, it shows all posts, including replies. I’ve added a filter to the view, but I’m unsure about the UX. Another idea: move everything to a sheet view. Thoughts? Feedback? #BuildInPublic #iOS #UI #UX

Used #Instruments to cut AVG view body time for two #SwiftUI views from 150-200ms to 17-24ms. 🚀 Small changes, big performance boost. #iOSDev #Swift

It was again an honor to host the Swift Meetup at our office. And I am glad that I was able to answer a few questions about SwiftData 😄

Tomorrow, we’re once again opening the doors of the Netlight office in Munich for the Swift Meetup Munich! I’m excited to be speaking again – this time about #SwiftData and how it’s changing the way we manage persistence in #SwiftUI apps.
