📣 Our program is final: from server-side to performance, from Swift 6 to SwiftUI, from architecture to embedded, and from Apple Intelligence to scripting, there's something for everyone to dive into!

Well, except parachutes. We can disclose we'll not be jumping with parachutes.

Nice lightning talk about zoom transitions by @qdoug here at @IOSDEVUK!!! 👏

[Douglas Hill @qdoug]

Who’s that talking about zoom transitions?

Kickstarting @IOSDEVUK day 2 with some 5-minutes talks 🏎️

Updating how we implemented alternative app icons in @pdfviewerapp to support iOS 18’s new dark and tinted app icons. https://t.co/ChSXu0kz24

Here are three interesting situations that came up migrating KeyboardKit to Swift 6 strict concurrency. It’s a small UI framework that runs only on the main thread, so was a great simplified test case. https://t.co/RpKKvPriuV

Stefan wrote about a crash at launch we saw when using Xcode 16 that was related to the mysterious libRPAC. We debugged this during a very productive WWDC lab last month, where we learned some useful DYLD environment variables. https://t.co/KkReCSFTQh

Over on our company blog, we just posted my exploration into how a modern Swift programming mindset clashes with Objective-C’s NSCopying protocol. https://t.co/ht2w7YpzzG

A few photos and notes from my three-week trip from London to Athens by train and ferry. https://t.co/j5v0V372L7

Excellent new post from @steviki covering combining symbols graphs from multiple targets and other DocC tricks we use to build our PSPDFKit API documentation. https://t.co/NOxPKcPYeu

Initial thoughts on the new 13-inch iPad Pro after trying it in the Piazza Liberty Apple store in Milan. https://t.co/FG167eqEeQ

[Douglas Hill @qdoug]

It’s iPad hype day, so after many thousands of hours using the 2018 iPad Pro as my main computer, I wanted to consider what hardware a new iPad should have to last as my main computer from now until 2030. https://t.co/4vnvGStgnE

We’re looking for an experienced developer to join my team making PSPDFKit and PDF Viewer. We make a document SDK for iOS, macOS and visionOS. Expect challenging API design tasks and deep debugging sessions in a small, collaborative, remote team. https://t.co/sp0B7PRgyu

@MichalopoulosG @bukovinski @steipete They’re both custom ornaments. The one on the top is set up in SwiftUI based on our navigation bar buttons, and the one on the right reuses our existing annotation toolbar using UIViewRepresentable.

[Douglas Hill @qdoug]

I feel I must be missing something, but I can’t find any info saying Apple Volume Purchase Program (VPP) for education and businesses is available for in-app purchases and subscriptions. Are there even any paid-up-front apps anymore?

[Douglas Hill @qdoug]

Not fully understanding the new beta installation flow. I’m signed into my personal account (not my developer account) and given the option to change accounts, but not sure what difference this would make. https://t.co/EH39EiBkJI

[NSLondon @NSLondonMeetup]

Massive thank you to everyone who attended our #ServerSideSwift event at the marvellous @AWS!

[Douglas Hill @qdoug]

I noticed this WWDC session (and probably others) never says “Vision”. Always “this platform”. Secrecy at work! https://t.co/zBi8qYOHOw

[Douglas Hill @qdoug]

If the new product line is called  Vision, will AirPods be renamed to  Hearing?
