There is a CKSyncEngine to implement syncing to CloudKit. Could someone have told me that 2 days earlier?

Wait, what happened to the SwiftUI #Accessibility inspector in #Xcode? The one on the right panel? Wait, where did the SwiftUI inspector go? #iosdev

After years of watching other people write about software development, I decided that I wanted to give it a try too…

So I started a new blog!

To kick things off I wrote a (slightly belated) SwiftUI Wish List, but what I’m really looking forward to sharing is a new app I’m working on, and some of the development (mis)adventures I’ve had.

Read the first post here and let me know what you think: https://adevlog.com/2025/07/a-swiftui-wish-list/

If you're in any of these groups, please share as widely as you can. We got some great shots of people over the years and I'd love folks to have them.

Will get the rest up so keep an eye out here or follow my new Flickr account.

It seems watch apps are not very popular. Coding a little watch app just for my own fun has shown me so many issues, it’s hard to believe these were not fixed long ago …

Are you still developing watchApps? Do you use WatchApps other than the standard ones?

I’m looking to store sensitive data, such as API keys or user tokens, in a secure manner. Naturally, I assumed the Keychain would be the right place for this. However, I’d prefer that these items not appear in the Keychain Access app.

Would setting kSecAttrIsInvisible be the correct approach, or is there a better alternative?

Do young iOS developers still exist? My students now are doing „some iOS“, but it’s not really their focus.

PSA: Don't upgrade to #macos Tahoe beta 4 if you need #xcode previews. I did, and now trying to use previews crashes the entire system for me after a minute or so. The previous 3 betas worked fine. #iosdev

Apple did it!

It just prereleased the Retention Messaging API that lets developers display custom messages, special offers, or alternate plans during the cancellation flow.

Big news for subscription apps!

I can't wait to see @revenuecat support this!

Today is the day, finally launching a new app! It's called Glance. It helps you easily and privately share your details with people. Great for the complex names in a coffee shop, or keeping your mobile private in the pet store! A simple app, but I'm really proud of it!

Looks like a lot of AppStore Reviews never appear. Wild.

Ok, if I needed a custom in-app browser other than SFSafariVC what open source ones might you recommend? #iosdev

I've just published a new video! It covers two ways to use matchedGeometryEffect() in SwiftUI: transitioning between views when one is removed and another added, and moving a selection marker by matching the geometry of a non-source view to a source.

I have recently spent quite a lot of time on new #GamingBuddy onboarding. I thought it was quite nice but now I am not so sure...

Previously I had just few static screens with few "cards" on each - it was very text heavy.

I am looking for feedback - you don't need the app - the video below shows how the current flow looks like

Thanks!

I'm assuming the new Observations API did not yet make it into Xcode 26 beta3? The release notes suggest the issue with it not being available is fixed? #Xcode #iOSDev
