New in SFSymbols for iOS 26, Draw effects!!

Five beautiful examples.. stay till the end for the code sample.

First up, "rainbow" with .symbolRenderingMode(.multicolor). Symmetrical symbols draw outward from the center.

A SwiftUI modifier for inserting the parent UIViewController in the environment A SwiftUI modifier for inserting the parent UIViewController in the environment - View+ParentViewController.swift

Small SwiftUI helper that inserts the parent view controller into the environment for children. Use at your own risk; it's very easy to mess up using this.

But it's nice to be able to have @Environment(\.parentViewController)

iOS Dev Weekly – Issue 700 (!!!!!) is out! iosdevweekly.com/issues/700/

Let's start looking at managing real state with Swift concurrency!

So far, everything I've done in the past has been read-only. Here's another step-by-step post that examines stateful systems, actors, and reentrancy.

Xcode is a psyop by Meta to sell more React Natives

Popular logo used for representing accessibility consisting of a stick man inside a circle. But the stick man is dressed as Santa Claus and there is some text around it that says “Accessibility. Have you been naughty or nice?”.

Thanks for following along with the #adventOfiOSAccessibility series! Here's to building more accessible iOS apps in 2025! 🎉

The death of Glitch, the birth of Slack [This post is about the day that Glitch failed, and how that failure created the opportunity to make Slack. We're sharing it here (out of chronological order) to mark 12 years since the famous pivot.]...

absolutely love this series, in no small part because i have very fond memories of playing glitch in undergrad. a singularly bizarre and warm game

If you are writing something about concurrency and want some feedback, send it my way. Draft, published, whatever, I'd be happy to look it over!

Wrote this one a while ago but it still seems to be helpful for people.

I'm excited to chat with @massicotte.org about Swift 6 and concurrency... again 😳
This is your chance to get your question answered about concurrency and the future of Swift.
Let us know what you'd like us to talk about ASAP.

Within software architecture, few people shaped the industry as much as @gradybooch.bsky.social. Safe to say he's a true legend.

In today's The Pragmatic Engineer Podcast episode, he shares fascinating stories, insights, observations.

"It's written in Rust" is not a feature of your app. "It's blazing fast" is a hollow claim that makes me doubt it.

Please stop putting these things on your homepage. Please show me why your tool/app/whatever makes my work easier/cheaper/faster-to-iterate.

Quick tutorial how the stitching was achieved:

- Use `strokedPath(_:)` to split the path into multiple lines, using a two-component dash array.
- Convert to a CGPath, split it into subcomponents using `componentsSeparated(using:)`.
- Apply a rotation to each line.
- Merge them back together.

Congratulations 🥳

Why are migrations so darn hard - and why are they not getting easier, over time?

Here's IBM Fellow @gradybooch.bsky.social sharing his grounded take in the latest The Pragmatic Engineer Podcast episode (that is full of insightful gems like this):

C++23 has "first-class UB": you, the language user, can make promises and let the program enter UB if you break them.

int f(int x, int y) {
[[assume(x == 27)]];
[[assume(x == y)]];
return y + 1; // May be optimised to `return 28`.
}

SwiftUI matched geometry effect in a custom segmented control Learn how to use matchedGeometryEffect() in SwiftUI to animate a capsule background that highlights the selected option in a custom segmented control.

I recently built a custom segmented control in #SwiftUI and found that matchedGeometryEffect() provided an easy way to animate a capsule highlighting the selected option as it transitions between choices.

I summarized the example in a blog post: nilcoalescing.com/blog/CustomS...

Wow congrats Vidit 🥳
