PickerKit 0.3 is out! This version has a custom font type that can load custom fonts from any app or package bundle. This type can be used with the package's custom #SwiftUI font picker, which makes it easy to pick native and custom fonts with the same picker.

I have a question...

Why is it that so many of Apple's own apps do not remember their sidebar/inspector's widths?

This is literally free behavior in #AppKit and is also possible in #SwiftUI for #macOS without any work. I know because my apps do it -- both macOS apps (one in SwiftUI and the other in AppKit).

But so many of Apple's first party apps will not persist the widths you've set.

Shortcuts.app was one and now Icon Composer.

Arrays are great, but sets can be a game changer in Swift. Learn when to use sets, how they improve performance, and see real-world examples in my latest deep dive video! #Swift #SwiftUI, #Xcode

A #macOSapp, #Context, was built using #ClaudeCode, an #AIcoding tool. #Claude #Code, with its #agenticloop and support for #MCPservers, significantly sped up #development. While Claude Code is proficient in #writingcode and #SwiftUI, #contextengineering is crucial due to the limited context window of the model. https://www.indragie.com/blog/i-shipped-a-macos-app-built-entirely-by-claude-code?eicker.news #tech #media #news

Working on Updates to my yet to be released SFSymbols Browser. Will support iOS 18 and later. Here is what the iOS 26 Version will look like and include new SFSymbols Features to preview in the app. #buildinpublic #SwiftUI #ios26

Tip: any Swift code in SKIP blocks can interact directly with Kotlin, including #JetpackCompose. We transparently transpile SKIP code to Kotlin, then bridge it back to your native Swift. Here a user integrates custom Compose into his #SwiftUI using a ComposeView #SwiftForAndroid

Hey Mastodon! So I’ve decided to build an #iOS app. For some of you, this might feel a bit déjà vu, because I’ve said that before… this time I have an app idea and a pain point I want to solve.

I’ve never built an app with #Xcode before, the closest I’ve come is compiling a Unity game for iPad using Xcode. Besides PHP, HTML, and JS for web-development, I do have a tiny bit of experience in C# and JAVA.

Where do you recommend I start? Apple Playgrounds?

You love cats and you hate fitness?
Me too, so I mixed it and made “Fit Paw: Workout buddy” ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ

The logic is pretty simple, you workout and get new items for your kitties room.
Kitty is happy and you are healthy (maybe, I hope).

If you’re on iOS, check it out, it’s free (almost).
I would appreciate any feedback.

#WWDC2025 session 266 "Explore concurrency in SwiftUI" is pretty interesting. Some #SwiftUI things, like animations, run on a background thread.

With #SwiftUI, is there a way to avoid the rectangle to disappear abruptly when the View in the safeAreaInset is removed with a move transition?

I don’t want to combine the move transition with an opacity transition here.

Is there a recommended way to change colors of UI elements (and the background) when transitioning from a small glass detent to full screen? Or should I just observe the current detent (which would not interpolate during sliding)? #SwiftUI

PickerKit 0.2 is out, with a new #SwiftUI FontPicker, as well as many multi-platform tools.

PickerKit has custom pickers, like a Camera, a DocumentScanner, a FilePicker, an ImagePicker, etc. and a ColorPickerBar that adds extra colors and tools to a native ColorPicker.

If there are any #SwiftUI folks seeing this. Please fix!
Title and toolbar items are delayed when pushed in a UIHostingController, making integration into UIKit nearly impossible, when you like polish. This has been the case since forever.

The following article covers how to show an alert from a menu item in a SwiftUI Mac app:

How can I rotate a view in #swiftui in the direction with the smallest change?
I’m building a compass view and rotating it via
```
view
. rotationEffect(.degrees(heading))
```
looks very weird when changing from 359 to 0.

Is there a built-in way or do I have to implement it on my own?

Very humble beginnings for Routines on iOS 26

Haven’t redesigned any of the custom views for Liquid Glass but it’ll get there eventually

Today I graduated from the most amazing academy in the world, the Apple Developer Academy @Unina Federico II Thank you to all the people guiding me through this 9 months. You’ll be my family forever
