@david_attisaas @jacobrodri_ Just don’t be too honest publicly 😂

@FloWritesCode Well, a few years ago, when I wanted to implement some feature, I’d do research and watch YouTube videos before starting. Now I just ask Claude to do it and then polish it up afterward. Things changed.

@DonnyWals Looks good, thanks for sharing.

@adriamatz @eliana_jordan Not sure if I know 12 people with Android. Would be easier to get 12 spare phones.

@DonnyWals I’ve tried adding some alternate icons and found out that users rarely change them. I dropped the feature with iOS 26, where I’d have to recreate them. In my view, it’s not worth the hassle.

@seraleev I was dealing with the same thing. At first I used a simple script and decided to build my own app. This one has rounding too. It’s currently free on the App Store.

@FloWritesCode @cursor_ai Try Codex with skills from @Dimillian. Next level.

@jacobtechtavern @DominikTornow Now it all makes sense

@anumness There’s quite a lot of controversy around the new tab bar. Apple states that the last item is meant solely for search, yet many apps are recreating the tab bar and using it as an action button, which is HIG violation.

Been taking Liquid Glass adoption slow in my projects. Not ready to push it everywhere yet.

@tonyt20251 @alexcooldev Or get the account terminated. Good metaphor.

Great article from @tanaschita on building a Grid container in SwiftUI.
Still find myself overusing stacks when a grid would clean things up.

@seanallen_dev Totally get it, still searching for AppStorage or Environment dismiss every time

Took a bit to wrap my head around the new Swift concurrency features. This article by @mattie on non-sendable first design is a solid take. Helped me think differently about Sendable. https://t.co/0T6L7OjGNh

Caught this RevenueCat talk by Steve P. Young about controversial app growth hacks. Stuff like buying targeted installs or free lifetime subs to spike rankings. Interesting stories, but yeah, don't try this at home.

Finally a nice API for Swift configuration

Just revisited the WidgetKit course I completed a while back and found it updated for iOS 18! It’s awesome to see @seanallen_dev keeping the content up to date.

@adamlyttleapps I found it distracting as well. Hopefully there will be some improvements soon.
