🛠️ Building iOS/macOS apps in public. Sharing my journey

[Oleksandr Bilous @_bilous]

Published a small article about SPM static/dynamic libraries and how to use it to optimize application bundle.

And overall, description of main issues and how to deal with them in combination with extensions, plugins, frameworks usage.

We're donating Agent Skills to the Agentic AI Foundation (@AgenticAIFdn), the same foundation we donated MCP to.

Since December 2025, 70+ agent platforms have integrated the standard, including ChatGPT, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and VS Code.

Here's what that means for you:

I've published a new, general-purpose terminal specification that gives any program a way to tell the terminal what it's doing: idle, working, waiting, finished, or failed, and why. It is easy to implement on both sides. I've written more about why: https://t.co/2FfzNC3F8T

The problem this solves is generic and applies in compelling ways to all sorts of use cases (e.g. package managers, build tools), but it really rears a hideous head when it comes to AI and the "agentic inbox" problem.

I found over 250 different agent orchestrators (with various goals) that all individually implement a heuristic based approach to detecting whether things like Claude Code are working, blocked, done, etc.

If you look at @herdrdev's commit history, you can see around 10 compatibility changes to detect Claude Code within just the past 3 months. (This isn't a dig at Herdr! They're doing great work with what they have, and everyone else is doing the same thing).

Heuristics are not the way. And over-indexing on agentic use cases isn't the way, because this problem is really interesting for other tools too: Homebrew, Terraform, Cargo, etc. etc.

Proprietary protocols and out of band APIs are not the way. They have an O(N) integration problem and require extra work to work over SSH or within local VMs/containers.

The program status specification (OSC 7501) solves this in a reliable, deterministic way that is general-purpose and can be easily adopted by the entire industry.

Hey Claude, rewrite our backend in Swift. No mistakes!!!

[Swift Language @SwiftLang]

Google: “[Swift] has matured into a viable systems and cloud language, pairing Rust-like data-race safety with predictable, reference-counted performance.” Announcing their Swift-based cloud SDK for backend services: https://t.co/fGQKYSTKi7

Great minds think alike. We just had a head start.

And now, @eneybymacpaw’s preview is open — free, with 20,000 credits included. Our only ask: tell us the truth. What works, what doesn't, and what you wish it did.

Feedback goes straight into the app (Settings → Feedback) or our Discord.

Oops…

[Gergely Orosz @GergelyOrosz]

Oh my god, Firebase’s SDK started to crash ALL iOS apps that were using it, for ALL sessions, just like that, no way for any of these apps to do anything…

How amateur is all of this from any SDK, but especially one from a company with as high of an engineering bar like Google…

Із позитиву - не всі прильоти та стратегічні обʼєкти є на карті, тож русні все ж доведеться збирати інформацію з інших джерел.

Але рівень небезпеки 56 це вже не так і погано
