What makes some apps keep us coming back day after day, while others are forgotten after a single use? Why do we open Settings.app every week? Is there anything scientific behind it?
Let’s dig deeper into this with @therealmamamia.bsky.social in Paris!

Proud to be supported by @guardsquare.com! Their approach to mobile security ensures top-notch protection with ease. From testing to code hardening and real-time threat insights, Guardsquare integrates seamlessly into the dev cycle and protects apps from start to publication.

Really humbled to be sponsored again by @leboncointech.bsky.social, one of the best tech companies in France. leboncoin Tech unites 700+ experts in Paris and Nantes, powering France’s leading platform for classifieds, with 6M weekly iOS users, 30K installs, and 30K requests per second!

It’s the framework we had a crush for this year: Apple's Foundation Models offer a brand-new way to create AI apps for their platforms — free and private. Alex Logan will tell you more about that!

There's no one way to give a conference talk, but is there a way to do two ways in the same talk? Join the incredible duo @joshdholtz.com Zach Brass in Paris!

There are APIs that are well documented, others that are not-so-well documented, and then there are those that are not documented at all, which we are not supposed to use. But how can we discover them and use them, safely (or not)? Meet @quentinfasquel.bsky.social!

So, there are some really awesome people speaking at @swiftconnection.bsky.social in October… and I’ll be making my international speaking debut there too! Don’t miss it 😄🇫🇷

You certainly haven’t missed it, but @steipete.me with great content on AI showing his journey.

What really happens to your iOS app during compilation - and what does it expose? In the session by @guardsquare.com’s Samuel Hopstock we’ll dissect the whole process to discover what Xcode does with your source code.
👉 https://swiftconnection.io

Concurrency is still a challenge for many, making Approachable Concurrency very welcome. To discover how and why it can improve your way to Swift 6,
we’re honored to host one of the true authorities on the topic, @mattie.bsky.social !
👉 https://swiftconnection.io

What distinguishes a good UI component from a great one? It often comes down to the developer experience — specifically, how intuitive and flexible its public API is. Join @thomasdurand.bsky.social at SwiftConnection in Paris!
👉 https://swiftconnection.io

If you’ve been following @dimillian.app, you know he’s at the forefront of AI tooling, building iOS without Xcode using Cursor, Claude Code, and XcodeBuildMCP. Discover if AI is ready to do 100% of your work yet!
👉 https://swiftconnection.io

We could have asked him to reverse engineer iPadOS so it can finally run full-fledged Xcode. But we preferred asking him to join us in Paris instead.
Folks, this October let’s meet @inside.bsky.social in Paris!

👉 https://swiftconnection.io

Only 3 days before the closing of the CfP.
Procrastination is over: we know how it feels when you have to fill the description of a Jira ticket, but this ain’t one!

👉 https://swiftconnection.io/cfp

We’re glad to announce that one of the most celebrated iOS speakers - not to mention, host of the Swift Over Coffee podcast - is joining our lineup!
You guessed it: it’s @mikaelacaron.com!

👉 https://swiftconnection.io

Time to (further) speed up your WWDC video binge-watching, to make sure you have enough time to send us your proposals: it’s closing this Sunday already!
👉 https://swiftconnection.io/cfp

WWDC25 is now.
But you haven’t forgotten that our CfP is open - have you?!
👉 https://swiftconnection.io/cfp

And if you’ve never spoken at a conf, make sure to consider our Speaker Inclusion Programme:
👉 https://swiftconnection.io/speaker-inclusion-programme

Did we mention that @v-pradeilles.bsky.social and @designatednerd.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy are joining our content team?

Sending them tips to have your talk accepted should not work.

WWDC is just around the corner, and that means ONE thing: it's time to open our Call for Proposals!

(Closes June 22, just in time for you to submit a proposal with your barely-working last-minute hacks around those latest AI-centered WWDC APIs.)

👉 https://swiftconnection.io/cfp

Know someone who’d be a great fit for the Speaker Inclusion Program?
💡 We’re always looking for new voices—especially those from underrepresented backgrounds.
DM us or reach out directly with your suggestions!

We’re proud to announce that the Speaker Inclusion Programme is back in 2025!
This year, ‪@robinkanatzar.bsky.social‬ and Zino are joined by ‪@joshdholtz.com, with the same goal of empowering speakers from diverse backgrounds and with no prior conf experience.

Lena is diving into the world of spatial computing and augmented reality, exploring the differences between iPad and Vision Pro. A bumpy journey in creating a cross-platform AR app!

And look who's there: @orta.io!
If you're into TS, we definitely recommend this conf. Great team, and great community.

Testing: sometimes your least favorite task, but also a critical one! @leah_m_vogel guides us from testing dread to delight, showing why tests are worth embracing.
👉 https://async.techconnection.io/talks/swift-connection/swift-connection-2024

AI - and you know we actually mean Apple Intelligence - is all about intents! @murmurations_ offers an overview of connecting your apps with Apple Intelligence.
👉 https://async.techconnection.io/talks/swift-connection/swift-connection-2024/

One of the most awaited - and inspiring talks of the whole conference. @cocoaphony.bsky.social’s Zen and The Science of Debugging is online!
👉 https://async.techconnection.io/talks/swift-connection/swift-connection-2024/rob-napier-zen-and-the-science-of-debugging

And, BTW, for those of you wondering what the graphs were in Zino’s talk, they were an early version of https://github.com/krugazor/SpikeWheelTimeline

💾 Zino dives into the battle of iOS storage methods to find out which one truly stands the test of… time.
Or a crash.
