Xcode 26 introduces an integrated playground experience using the new #Playground macro. It's an absolute joy to experiment with your code right inside the editor. I've not been using Swift Playgrounds a lot, but I will use this new macro much more often!
Read the articleHuge apps like PhotoRoom, Mojo & Citizen use Superwall to build paywalls without shipping app updates. Learn how.
Learn moreThe weeks following WWDC are the best time to file feedback, but not the only time. I spoke with Eric at WWDC and asked him to write this article based on his experience of filing over 1,000 (!!) feedbacks. You’ll discover what attracts attention and which structure works best to ensure your feedback is valued effectively.
You’ve probably learned about the new Icon Composer app, but do you know how to use these app icons inside Xcode? It turned out not to be explained in the WWDC sessions, so this article is helpful!
If you’re curious how Xcode 26 prompts AI, this article by Peter Friese is one you want to read!
We have new APIs to explore, but also a new visual language to learn! This article by Create with Swift is an excellent overview, shares design principles, and even includes a Figma design file.
Emerge Tools is now part of Sentry, and the best outcome possible is happening now: they’re open-sourcing one of their tools. Companies like Airbnb and Spotify use this one to speed up their iOS app launch times.
Last week's Swift proposal state changes. Review-stage proposals are your chance to influence Swift's future.
Launched darkly, the latest version of RocketSim now supports simulating the camera inside Xcode's Simulator.
Ever since I started iOS development, I was surprised to not being able to test the camera on the Simulator. With RocketSim, I always dreamed to find a way to solve this for the community. Last month, I had a breakthrough and last week, I released the first version of this: Simulator Camera support!
You can read all about it inside the documentation or try it out yourself after downloading RocketSim from the Mac App Store.
Jay has been one of the first users to give it a try and posted about it on socials. If you're developing a camera app, this is a game changer for productivity.
This week, my focus is on integrating Sparkle to support out-of-the-App-Store distribution. This is requested by many large companies that don't allow installing RocketSim via the Mac App Store. Sounds easy, but quite the challenge with some edge-case implementations I have with RocketSim, ha!
Challenging week ahead!
