@jacobx @seanallen_dev In your investigation did you consider Pkl at all? If you did, I’d be curious to know what drawbacks may have been for it. Given its origin I thought it would have been a good choice.

[Joe Williams @joemdwills]

@twostraws @FloWritesCode Why not a Pkl based project format 😅

Fun fact: the creator of CoreAnimation is one of the creators of SwiftUI!

The decision to run animations in the app process rather than the render server (as CoreAnimation does) was one of the earliest and most fundamental decisions we made when designing SwiftUI.

Some of the most distinctive experiences of using an iPhone, like UIScrollView rubber banding and SpringBoard app switching are only possible as client-side animations.

But these experiences aren’t easy to build with UIKit!

This is because if you want a UI to be fully interactive and interruptible by the user while it’s animating, it has to be running in the same process as the event handling.

In fact, in iOS 18 we added new APIs to AppKit and UIKit to adopt the SwiftUI client-side animation model.

There are a lot of valid critiques of SwiftUI. The fact that SwiftUI doesn’t use CoreAnimation for its animations is not one of them.

@SwiftyAlex Am confused how to get access to a Duo in the Device Hub after downloading Xcode 27 RC. https://t.co/90Oc0HpBOc says 27.1 ...

[Joe Williams @joemdwills]

@hiddevdploeg GG 👏

[Joe Williams @joemdwills]

@SwiftyAlex Oh damn 😅

[Joe Williams @joemdwills]

@JamaalEmanuel Yeah agreed. However, having seen how well other younger players have progressed at BVB, I think it’s a good loan move for Nwaneri.

@DonnyWals If you do any cross-training in preparation for you race and need a companion app 👀. https://t.co/iY1S1x9hBA

Or you could join via TF (I have some Apple Watch integrations hopefully releasing by next Monday)

[Joe Williams @joemdwills]

@twannl I’ve registered my interest to join the beta!

[Joe Williams @joemdwills]

@twannl Awesome 🙌🏻. I love the purpose of Instruments. But I find the experience overly cumbersome for what could be two tightly integrated products (Xcode / Instruments). Also the icon since Xcode 26 is 🤦🏼‍♂️

[Joe Williams @joemdwills]

@JamaalEmanuel Agreed. Noni does provide some pace, would still prefer Ethan though.
