Interesting, I've wrapped some code in `Task { @MainActor in /* code */ }` because I wanted to hide the concurrency warning, and now my app is way faster. I've no idea how, but I'm happy that this is the effect #swiftlang #concurrency #swift #mainactor #task #indiedev

When the #Swift compiler starts showing you funny anime faces, you know you turned the wrong stone.

<τ_0_0> () -> @out τ_0_0 for <()>

Hey @mattiem -- any pointers in how to handle undomanager in the world of #swift 6 concurrency? This is no longer valid:

func update(someItem, newValue) {
let currentValue = someItem.value
undoManager.registerUndo(withTarget: self) { target in
target.update(someItem, currentValue)
}
someItem.value = newValue
}

because update (needs?) to be run on _@MainActor but the registered closure isn't. Putting the contents of the closure in a Task breaks undo/redo

This usage of undo has nothing to do with SwiftData or a document based app.

I made a Mac productivity app!

SUBSTAGE

…puts a command bar underneath your Finder windows and lets you use natural language to convert media, manage files, perform calculations and more!

Looking for Swift developers interested in package management improvements.

I'm building SwiftHive, a Swift Package Registry.

Seeking beta testers to validate the approach and provide feedback.

LongPressGesture (specifically .updating) is broken in iOS 18 SDK and since April 24 is the deadline after which all apps have to be built with 18 SDK, I'm faced with having to hack together my own gesture. Apple's own code in the docs is broken (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/longpressgesture). Thinking I'll create my own UIGestureRecognizer with a timer and use UIGestureRecognizerRepresentable. #swift #swiftui

I wondered how I would have structured @SnippetsStudio if I made it today vs when I first started and so just for fun I made a new project and connected it to the same CloudKit database and now I want to rewrite the whole app (again) LOL.

After experiencing the key moment at the seafront, I had fresh energy and hope that I could actually make it. That I could actually build something that helps people in tough emotional situations. But what I needed to do was kicking off the next phase of the CBL cycle called: Investigate. My own experiences with emotions and psychotherapy might not reflect what other people think and what (1/2)

My need for a new job has gone from “I'm unhappy and need a change" to “I don't hardly have any savings and if I don't get a new job ASAP I will be bankrupt in a month or so”, because I was laid off today.

So:
Hi! I'm Jamie. I write code in Swift, with the exact target/platform not mattering to me so much. I own a powerful Mac so I can contribute to indie/smaller projects without any particular investment. I also have experience managing teams, and I can quickly pick up new skills.

The role would have to be remote or located in the Baltimore, MD area as I have a mortgage that I can't just get out of.

New proposal up for review: SE-0469: Task Naming
https://forums.swift.org/t/se-0469-task-naming/78509

This will be very useful for debugging and tools which now can print assigned task names. #swiftlang #swift

Journelly is coming along nicely. I’m using it daily.

The app is little like tweeting but for your eyes only. All content stays on your #iPhone.

I’m still onboarding beta users, lemme know if you’d like to join.

Please help me get the word out and boost

rewrite #Swift compiler in Go for 10x faster performance

I see, so #Swift typed throws isn't quite finished :)

I run into issues from time to time where the compiler can't infer that I've covered all cases.

Swift language is a GAME CHANGER folks!! Remember when we wrote 20 lines of Objective-C just to parse JSON?? NOW LOOK AT US!! The #Swift team deserves a GOLD STAR and a cookie!!

Up until now, the biggest problems in my app were caused by my multithreaded code, so today I decided to do something with it. First, I enabled strict concurrency warnings. Then, I spent a few hours fixing them, and now I switched my project to #Swift 6 without any issue!
