Just discovered Bruno, an open source alternative to API test tools like Postman and RapidAPI (formerly Paw) that looks really interesting. It seems pretty simple and there's no cloud storage. Just stores on the local file system. 👍🏻 https://www.usebruno.com/

I completely forgot #Xcode had added Bookmark support. #iOSDev #XcodeTips Xcode Bookmarks: Save code landmarks & organize tasks

Making learning about coding fun! 😊 #SwiftPlayground #SwiftPlaygrounds #HourOfCode

Our HOA is now using an AI chat bot. 😐

So I built my first macOS SwiftUI app today. Super simplistic—just a web view wrapper. But I learned a few new things I was unaware of. A fun diversion, and it solved an immediate need I had. 👍🏻😄

I just saw this feature while watching a snippet of "What's New in SwiftUI", and I didn't realize that this was a feature that came with iOS 17. Super cool! 😃 Ping your #AppleWatch with iPhone https://support.apple.com/guide/watch/ping-your-apple-watch-with-iphone-apdd15b14f82/watchos

Having fun creating custom tabBars for #SwiftUI. Prepping a couple of videos on enum driven TabViews with custom tabBars. Out next month on my YouTube channel. Subscribe to get notified. youtube.com/@StewartLynch

App Store Connect 2.1 Released #AppStoreConnect #iOSDev #IndieDev

Anyone else notice that playlists that contain iTunes Match/uploaded content do not display on #AppleMusic for #CarPlay in the "recently played" section?

I run the iosdev.space mastodon server and here's some fun stats iosdev.space/@iosdevspace... I have noticed our active users go down, but not by a significant amount. We also still get at least 2 - 3 users requesting to join each week.

Has anyone hit this bizarre behavior with app groups and Live Activities? Write to the shared app group in the init, and the Live Activity just silently dies forever, no error message. Any other directory and it works fine. Am I holding it wrong? Code: gist.github.com/christiansel...

Now we wait… ⏳

Lots of interesting things happening in this month's Hello Developer! 🚀 January 2025 - Hello Developer - Apple Developer https://developer.apple.com/hello/january25/ #iOSDev #SwiftUI #AppleDeveloper

How long are TestFlight App Review times these days?

Hey Swift/iOS/Indie devs! 👋🏻 We will be doing our weekly goal setting an accountability meeting for indie developers today at 12:30 PM PT. 🕧 Go to https://swiftremotestudio.com to sign up and get access to the Slack. Just go to the "goals–friday" channel for the zoom URL. #iOSDev #IndieDev

For case-insensitive string comparison in #SwiftLang, converting strings to a common case and using == can give incorrect results in some languages. Instead, we can use compare(_:options:) or localizedStandardCompare(_:) for accurate locale-aware comparisons: nilcoalescing.com/blog/CaseIns...

Warning: The Belkin Head Strap for Vision Pro absolutely doesn't work with the Developer Strap. There's a special cut-out on the left side to let you connect the power, but nothing on the right side where the Developer Strap cable is.

Starting with iOS 18, developers can seamlessly integrate UIKit gestures into SwiftUI using UIGestureRecognizerRepresentable. This unlocks the power to effortlessly add features like multi-finger taps directly into your views. fatbobman.com/en/posts/sw...

I don't know if there's anybody listening on the Apple Music team, but if so, here is a feedback item for you to check out. 😁 FB16114587: Add Image Playground functionality for Playlist Artwork to Apple Music on macOS + iOS #AppleMusic #macOS #Sequoia #AppleIntelligence #iOS18 #ImagePlayground

File under Odd-but-Good: Between me adding the Portuguese keyboard (with the English keyboard) and turning off automatic punctuation, #iOS18_2 seems to have restored Dictation to its former correct behavior, where the keyboard is always displayed and can be freely edited while dictating again. 🤷🏻‍♂️🙄

The weird and non-SwiftUI ways we're supposed to create Launch Screens on iOS is irritating at this point, considering that we've had SwiftUI for over 5 years. I would be very happy to see a new SwiftUI-based way to create them instead of... Storyboards. 🤢 #SwiftUI #Xcode #Xcode16 #iOSDev

"Xcode quit unexpectedly." 😑

I've gotten to the point where looking at and working with UIKIt is a little painful, and I think that's good. #Xcode #SwiftUI #UIKit #iOSDev

I can't believe Swift Remote Studio has made it to 200 members! 😄🎉 I was hoping we would reach that milestone before the end of the year, but I didn't know if that was realistic. It's really exciting to be able to reach that goal, however. Huge thanks to all the new members who joined this year!

Hooray! We hit 200 members today! 🎉 Thanks to everyone for making the Swift Remote Studio community awesome! #iOSDev #IndieDev #WorkTogetherSwiftly

iOS 18.2 doesn't show the keyboard while dictating anymore? What's going on there? It was super useful to be able to edit while dictating. Is there a setting to re-enable that? #iOS18
