This update finally does what I always intended! 🎉 V1 had the right idea but the platform wasn't ready. visionOS 26's persistent widgets finally make my original vision possible – and the new 2D-to-3D API for photos is a cherry on top! 🤌 Please take a look! 👀 #VisionPro #IndieApp

Gui Rambo (@inside.bsky.social) gave a great talk where he took a deep dive into how Liquid Glass was implemented by Apple. 💦🔎 Super interesting insights thanks to his rare skills of disassembling & reverse engineering private APIs: youtu.be/oj20mb8c0yI?... #iOSDev #LiquidGlass #SwiftUI

Today we are launching Xogot for iPhone, along with a free edition. The iPhone has been a challenging process for shrinking the UI even further. Check the details on @josephhill.bsky.social blog post: blog.xogot.com/make-games-a...

We could have asked him to reverse engineer iPadOS so it can finally run full-fledged Xcode. But we preferred asking him to join us in Paris instead. Folks, this October let’s meet @inside.bsky.social in Paris! 👉 https://swiftconnection.io

There are a few significant changes coming with Swift 6.2. Here are some thoughts on SE-0466. This one is about controlling the default isolation and it has some pretty big implications. www.massicotte.org/default-isol...

Another fun bug! rambo.codes/posts/2025-0...

What a weird bug! rambo.codes/posts/2025-0...

Just posted to my blog for the first time in a little over 2 years 😅 rambo.codes/posts/2025-0...

try! Swift Tokyo 2025 videos are already up, here’s my talk 🙂 #tryswift youtu.be/FKaIqpQydYc

Give @pinkerstraws.bsky.social the money @twostraws.bsky.social 😆

TIL: /usr/bin/sips on macOS "sips" stands for scriptable image processing system, and can be used to convert image from the command line without "It also supports executing JavaScript to either modify or generate images" 🤯

In today's video we discuss command-line tools in Swift with Guilherme Rambo @inside.bsky.social, including a hands-on refactor, and adding a CLI target to macOS apps. Learn how to go beyond the basics of the Swift Argument Parser, using PathKit and custom types. swifttoolkit.dev/posts/clis-r...

With the ability to virtualize a Private Cloud Compute node on macOS, I was wondering if it could run Doom, of course. And yes, it can! 😅

iOS developer PSA: if you're having trouble compiling your app that uses ImagePlaygroundViewController, there's a workaround. Implement the delegate on a Swift class that's not exposed to Objective-C (by making it private, for example). Here's what my delegate class declaration looks like:

AirBuddy is in the Space/Time bundle — an exclusive bundle featuring 13 top-tier macOS apps at 76% OFF: - AirBuddy 2 - Bartender 5 - App Tamer - BatFi - BusyCal - DaisyDisk - CleanShot X - Keyboard Maestro - KeyCue - TextSniper - Unclutter - Swish - TextSoap 9 Check it out: airbuddy.app/st24

So the reason I've been unable to update my Apple Frames shortcut for the latest devices is a bug in iOS/iPadOS 18's Shortcuts app that hasn't been fixed yet. For the past few months, the Overlay Image action has always removed the alpha transparency of a PNG. I have no idea how to work around it.

Excited that I can finally talk about this! Last year I discovered a security issue that allowed a third-party iOS application to access a user's location without their consent/knowledge. Not a great writeup, but more details here: https://github.com/biscuitehh/cve-2022-46718-leaky-location
