I had a lazy day. I refactored a bit of code, but nothing interesting to share. However, I found out that the great tool - https://tryastro.app/ - offers a #WWDC25 30% discount, and this time I decided to give it a try.

What is the best way to keep a FTS Table in sync with GRDB (with joins). Is there a better way than writing manually a triggers?

Xcode, every time I ask it to build.

Image Playground is now live in Europe!

Super easy-to-use API, works right out of the box.

What I love most? It runs on-device — meaning low power usage and full privacy (they say).

The images are arguable for now, but it’s apple could change with update. Give it a shot!

I launched Gempire today. It’s a take on the classic DrugWars TI calculator game from way back. Had to change to “gems” to get around the App Store guidelines. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/gempire-build-your-empire/id6745461888

Xcode 26 introduces the new Liquid Glass UI, and it’s enabled by default! #iosdev

Not ready to update your app’s look yet?

I started testing ChatGPT Codex and I'm not sure how to solve this issue. Every time it tries to compile it hits an error because it can't find SwiftUI (or another Apple Framework). Is there a way to get it to compile or if not, change the tests so it's not trying to?

My #WWDC25 sale will be active for another few days. You can still get any of my Swift and SwiftUI books with a 30% discount if you haven’t had a chance yet: https://books.nilcoalescing.com

All purchases come with free lifetime updates, and I’ll be refreshing them later this year.

Stretchy headers are a common pattern in iOS apps where the image expands as the user pulls down. We can create this effect in SwiftUI using the visualEffect() modifier without changing the image frame. I've just published a post about it: https://nilcoalescing.com/blog/StretchyHeaderInSwiftUI
