I am absolutely thrilled to share what I’ve been working on this year for #WWDC25 — WebKit for SwiftUI! https://t.co/XaoOg7QbBF

Safari in macOS 27 Beta lets you reload pages by swiping down with two fingers on the trackpad.

It’s super convenient. Every browser should copy this. 🔥

[Richard Robinson @rr_codes]

The `refreshable` modifier is peak SwiftUI imo 👌

[ビスター(Vistar) @vistar941]

Thanks to the new NSRefreshController, it’s now easy to add pull-to-refresh to any NSScrollView!

For WebKit for SwiftUI, all you need to do is add the .refreshable modifier.

I think my presentation skills really peaked in my sixth grade PowerPoint about Norway

@kyliebytes Or the history of dodo birds, which I have just been reading about 🦤

Memory-safe. 13% faster on average. ⚡️ The TrueType hinting interpreter in macOS and iOS has been rewritten in Swift, replacing the original C implementation. Pixel-perfect accuracy was validated across 27 million glyphs. And the results: https://t.co/OcpinM33OX

Xcode 27 has a markdown editor now and it's amazing!

[Richard Robinson @rr_codes]

So much fun!!

Incredible vibes at the Bitrig Bash!

If you’re at #WWDC today, come by and say hi at the Safari & Web labs!

[Richard Robinson @rr_codes]

@squeakytoy I definitely need to improve my stickers/pins game this year

[Richard Robinson @rr_codes]

WWDC is only a few days away! Will I be seeing any of you there?

Tomorrow at 10am PT, join us for a live Q&A on Swift Concurrency!

We are looking forward to answering your questions, and sharing best practices on adopting Swift concurrency in your apps and libraries!

Thank you to our teams, our users, and everyone who’s been part of the journey. #Apple50

@nathanborror You can also use a `for try await` loop with the result of the `load` API (which is an AsyncSequence) to determine when the page has fully loaded!

A new structure in 26.4: LinkMetadata

https://t.co/Ag4ZWcuc8Y

[Richard Robinson @rr_codes]

Here’s a sneak peek of just how easy it is to get started!

let metadata = try await LinkMetadata(fetching: URL(string: "https://t.co/2Dyfm6QaM4")!)

[Richard Robinson @rr_codes]

Check out the all new LinkMetadata API in iOS 26.4, macOS 26.4, and visionOS 26.4! Part of the LinkPresentation framework, this API makes it easier than ever to get metadata from a URL, and also fully supports Codable, Transferable, and App Intents!

[Richard Robinson @rr_codes]

The LinkPresentation framework is also now available on watchOS and tvOS for the first time!

[Richard Robinson @rr_codes]

@derjanni @Apple Thank you for filing this feedback report!!

Can’t believe the last thing I said in 2025 was “I want an alpaca house”
