This article sums up how I’ve been feeling these weeks: the #LiquidGlass is visually distracting, with performance, battery and readability issues, on top of that developers now have to test and maintain 2 different designs, it feels like design-first, usability-second🥲. #iOS26

The same FocusState wrapper that worked fine in iOS 18 is now broken in iOS 26, what am i missing? 😭 #SwiftUI #iOSDev

Building a new app using Apple Intelligence + SpeechTranscriber. Supporting iOS 18 means extra work for AI fallbacks and two different design systems. Going iOS 26-only helps me to stay sane 😅but limits users. What would you do? 🤔 #iOSDev #IndieDev #AppleIntelligence

Using a #SwiftUI Bindable Environment value to change the selectedTab from anywhere, feels cleaner than creating an Observable class for just one property:

@alpennec It would behave like a sheet if you are on a compact view which is basically iPhone in portrait mode or iPad with a Split View. But it's a good tip as not a lot of people know you can use these modifiers to change the behaviour based on the size! hackingwithswift.com/example-code/u…

@alpennec To keep in mind that if you use .popover it will be displayed differently on iPad and mac. Only on a compact view it will look like a sheet.

@ios_dev_alb SwiftData improvements, like support for enum with custom types as associate values, better cloudKit integration, easier init with relationships. Full support for Markdown in Text, native RichText editor is very much needed. And faster previews.

@chizzatto @adamlyttleapps Is the 8sec delay of the close button considered a dark pattern? It’s a very long delay IMO I would feel frustrated to have to wait for 8 sec every time the paywall comes up

With #SwiftUI, I skip wireframes entirely. Need a button? Code it. A screen flow? Build and test it within minutes. Designers can tweak values and fine-tune animations. ✨Figma just can’t beat that.

@CodeWithChris SwiftUI is more accessible than UIKit, there is a lot you can learn for free especially for beginner and is very intuitive overall. I wonder if this could be a reason for the decline. I would look for more advanced content like Swift on server, Vapor, Macros..

Today I've been spending some time on my tabs animation ✨ - the indicator background has now a color gradient🎨 - there is a smooth scaling animation on tap👆 - dynamic label color based on gradient luminosity! 🔆 WDYT? #SwiftUI #buildinpublic #ios #animation

#PreferenceKey it’s great for passing data upwards in your view hierarchy especially measurements. So far I’ve been using it to calculate the header height based on content and collapsing it on scroll view offset. Any other examples to share? 😊 #iosdev #swiftui

@mecid Left, the right makes it very difficult to understand which line belongs to the checkmark. For English speakers your read left to right so it’s easier to scan the text if the checkmarks are on the left similar to bullet points. BTW Why not a green checkmark?
