Swift Testing traits are a phenomenal way to configure tests and suites with behavior without nesting and excessive boilerplate.
This week we shipped a trait that lets you override task locals in your tests with a simple one-liner: https://t.co/3Arr57Zzg3

i'm obsessed with AI DIY projects.
my favorite one right now is this broccoli farmer in hokkaido, japan using Codex to run his 100-hectare farm
this guy never studied agriculture, never inherited land, started out as a civil servant.
but he wanted his farm to run better, and instead of paying an engineering firm he couldn't afford, he just built the tools himself.
here's what he's built on his own:
> remote control of his greenhouse vents from a chat app, wired up with an esp32 board, a motor driver, and cloudflare workers
> a bot that checks each greenhouse's temperature and opens the vents when it gets too hot
> satellite crop-health data laid over a map of his own fields
> an airtable base linking his plots, tasks, materials, and sensors
> wiring diagrams of his electrical panels, generated from a photo
stuff like this used to be locked behind machinery and engineers only the big agribusinesses could pay for.
but this legend just breezed past all of it with a laptop and Codex lol
Training an LLM with Swift, with optimization techniques to match or exceed C performance. 🏎️ Plus Wasm updates, recently active Swift Evolution proposals, and a talk about the Temporal Swift SDK, in the latest edition of What’s New in Swift https://t.co/1l51xIb5EW

🏳️Time to face obvious facts. iOS Dev courses are no longer viable income for me. I've been disrupted.
I'm looking to join a team working on a cool iOS project (full-time or part-time contract). Remote.
RT's are appreciated! DMs open.

I've been working with Swift on Server for about four years.
Server-side experience is very different from iOS development, and I’m here to share that real-world experience:
🧬 Swift language molecules (nuances, performance & gotchas)
🏗️ Software architecture & design patterns
🛠️ The Ecosystem (Vapor, Hummingbird, & AWS)

Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back.
Here’s a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: https://t.co/rzM1P0QbOl
Swift Playground 4.7 is now available.
🔭 Supports Swift 6 and the iOS 26 SDK.
🧊 Liquid Glass!
I’m happy to see that the project is still active. While it has needed updates, there’s still a lot to add. Let’s see how it progresses after this release. Perhaps version 5? 🤔
Glory be to Saint Patrick!

The James Joyce Centre wishes you a happy and healthy Saint Patrick's Day. Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig ort ☘️
Note on the image: The earliest known likeness of Saint Patrick in a manuscript appears in a 13th-century French copy of the Legenda Aurea (Golden Legend) held at the Huntington Library in California.
Want to get some automated #Accessibility testing for your iOS application?
Then make use of the XCUI testing library that uses the same rule as the #A11y inspector in XCode and build better regression tests!

Here’s a first look at X-Plane 12 on Apple Vision Pro!
With visionOS 26.4 and NVIDIA CloudXR 6.0, the simulator streams wirelessly at up to 4K/120fps to your headset.
And if you have a physical yoke or throttle, ARKit uses image detection to recognize them and place them inside your virtual cockpit. 🤯 It’ll be available later this spring.
