Comment The recent survey I did reminded me that, when you work with Swift every day, it can be easy to see only its complexities. A friend took delivery of one of the new M4 Mac mini machines this week, and I was curious how its performance would stack up against my 2021 M1 Max MacBook. I thought that building the Swift Package Index source code would be a reasonable real-world test. At least that's my real world!...

Comment If you didnโt catch GitHub Universe, you might have missed the announcement of a new Xcode plug-in that โofficiallyโ brings Copilot into Xcode. Itโs true that weโve had plugins like this for a while. You might even think that the official GitHub plugin seems closely related to Shx Guoโs plugin that I linked to last year. It seems like GitHub did the right thing, though, before you get the pitchforks out! So,...

iOS Dev Weekly - Issue 685 - Nov 1st 2024
Comment Thanks to everyone who responded to last weekโs question on what you hope for from WWDC 2025. There were plenty of interesting responses, but before we get to the specifics I asked how optimistic you all were about Swift and Apple platform development. It can be easy to see only negative comments about a topic, especially if you go anywhere near social media, so I was a little nervous to see these results. I...

Comment Many people have written about the repeated screen recording permission prompts in macOS 15 and I mostly agree with the negative coverage. There is some potentially good news coming in 15.1, with the promise of even less frequent prompts if you regularly use an app. That seems like a reasonable compromise, and is probably where Appleโs iteration on this feature will end. But I also liked Matthias Gansriglerโs...

Comment I noticed something while reading Nezhyborets Oleksiiโs latest post on formatting code across multiple lines. He skipped over a new Xcode feature, but it caught my eye as I have been hoping Apple would add this for years! New in Xcode 16โs โEditorโ menu under โStructureโ youโll find โFormat File with swift-formatโ. I couldnโt wait to try it, so I loaded an Xcode project, opened a file, and it worked...
