Lees meerComment Every developer, from solo indie devs to giant mega-corporations, has dreamt of Apple choosing them as a featured app on the App Store. There are millions of apps in the store, and when featured, yours …
Lees meerComment The recent survey I did reminded me that, when you work with Swift every day, it can be easy to see only its complexities. A friend took delivery of one of the new M4 Mac mini machines this week, and I…
Lees meerComment If you didn’t catch GitHub Universe, you might have missed the announcement of a new Xcode plug-in that “officially” brings Copilot into Xcode. It’s true that we’ve had plugins like this for a while. Y…
Lees meerComment Thanks to everyone who responded to last week’s question on what you hope for from WWDC 2025. There were plenty of interesting responses, but before we get to the specifics I asked how optimistic you a…

Lees meerComment Many people have written about the repeated screen recording permission prompts in macOS 15 and I mostly agree with the negative coverage. There is some potentially good news coming in 15.1, with the p…

Lees meerComment If you’ve been reading for a while, you’ll know I rarely talk about rumours, but I’ll talk about one today. What makes it different? Unlike product leaks or rumours of developer changes, I likely won’t …
Lees meerComment I can’t find it in the iOS Dev Weekly archive, but I’m sure that I was impressed when I first linked to AltStore, but that I was also sceptical that it wouldn't be with us for long. I thought Apple woul…
