Playing with a new game idea. Pretty sure it’s impossible to guess its theme from the attached video snippet.

You can now set Claude Code's output style to Concise.

Claude leads with the result, keeps responses short, and still gives full detail when you ask.

Turn it on in /config → Output style, or set "outputStyle": "Concise" in settings.json.

@ios_dev_alb Recently launched an attraction wait time tracking app for the Universal Studios theme parks in Orlando, FL (Epic Universe, Island of Adventure, etc..).

A blog post might have been more pragmatic, but this gets the message across.

Such a good WWDC this year! I had no hopes or dreams for this WWDC...just unfulfilled hopes and dreams from prior WWDCs. Happy to see that backlog whittled down.

[Yousr @rsuyoy]

the number change animation is lovely

It wasn’t long ago that I’d have inverted the subjects of this joke

Claude Code watching me attempt to modify the code it just generated for me

Dylan’s product is remarkable. I don’t think there is anything in the market at the same price point with the same quality. Glad to see it getting some traction.

New instant audiobook feature in review with Apple for Speaklone v1.2. How cool is this? https://t.co/HmhL4CH1AC

Looking forward to using this the next time I submit an app.

✈️ Just open-sourced App Store Preflight — an AI agent skill that scans your iOS/macOS project for common App Store rejection patterns before you submit.

Built on top of @rudrank's asc CLI, it pulls your metadata, checks against 100+ Apple Review Guidelines, and flags issues like:

• Competitor terms in metadata
• Missing privacy manifests
• Unused entitlements
• Banned AI terms in China storefront
• Misleading subscription pricing

Organized by app type (games, AI apps, kids, health, macOS, etc.) with auto-fix suggestions where possible.

I built this from my own painful rejection experiences 😅 What's the most frustrating App Store rejection you've dealt with? Drop your stories below — I'd love to add more rules based on real-world cases 👇

I compared UIKit and SwiftUI performance with the most ridiculous scroll view possible.

Memory usage wasn’t dramatic, but was interestingly spiky. Perhaps due to the different numbers of gifs and different resolution of the images rendered on each cell.

When it came to profiling peak memory and energy usage, I expected UIKit to yield the same kind of results I saw in SwiftUI: We’re still displaying an enormous number of elements, animating them the same, and these images are not any bigger or smaller, right?

Now don’t I look silly.

Memory usage hovered around 92MB for UIKit, compared to 248MB in SwiftUI.

I genuinely don’t understand the engineers dragging their feet on this stuff. Do you really think the genie can be pushed back into the lamp?

[James Pu®dy @PixelCloudSt]

I recently built an iOS SDK project; I’m sure that was the last one I’ll mostly write by hand. Over the last few months I’ve shifted a big chunk of my coding to AI. There’s a sunk‑cost feeling taking my hands off the wheel, but the velocity these tools imbue you with is 🔥🔥🔥

[Pol Piella @polpielladev]

Want to visualize what changes cause your SwiftUI views to update without having to add print statements?

✨ The new SwiftUI Instrument in Xcode 26 shipped with a pretty hidden feature called Cause & Effect Graph. Tap any view and see exactly which state updates triggered each re-render, perfect for debugging performance and learning how SwiftUI really works.

[James Pu®dy @PixelCloudSt]

App Clips is a pretty slick paradigm that solves "not another app to download..." fatigue. I'm just now taking a look at it 5 years after being released 😂, but I really like the idea. Don't know why I don't see it more often out in the world. 🤷‍♂️

[James Pu®dy @PixelCloudSt]

Guess it’s time to dust this X account off. Wrapped up over 5 awesome years at Smartsheet on the mobile team. I just joined a startup, Fit:match, last week. Here’s where I’ll be hanging out, if anyone is curious: https://t.co/fWVSvrL1IZ

I just released Hxr News for VisionOS. This was a project of mine to gain more experience with SwiftUI, SwiftData, and modern Swift concurrency. Does the world need another Hacker News client? Probably not, but it was fun working through this project.
