Amazing news! Swift concurrency is backward compatible now.

“You can now use Swift Concurrency in applications that deploy to macOS 10.15, iOS 13, tvOS 13, and watchOS 6 or newer. This support includes async/await, actors, global actors, structured concurrency, and the task APIs.”

Optimizing ProMotion Refresh Rates for iPhone 13 Pro and iPad Pro

Apple has prepared an article about optimizing your app to ProMotion displays. Btw it’s very useful to read if you have a lot of animations.

Just a good reminder why it’s necessary to avoid hard-coded secret keys!

p.s. It seems obviously, but as a reminder in case you forgot to get rid of it after a development process :)

Important to mention tip from Ole:

If you’re writing Swift concurrency code, add these compiler flags:
-Xfrontend
-warn-concurrency
-Xfrontend
-enable-actor-data-race-checks

Warnings in Swift 5.5 identify unsafe constructs, will become errors in Swift 6.

Hey! How are you all doing? Haven’t posted for awhile I apologize, but really burned out, tired of working stuff. So I took a vacation to finally recharge.🤞

Anyway, have you already pre-ordered a new MacBook? There are really good ones by far! I already told to the executive that it’s time to upgrade my laptop so I’m waiting for a decision… If you ruminate about an upgrading as well, there are some Xcode benchmarks with new MacBooks for help.

Interesting improvement. Starting with iOS 15 Apple extended the Codable protocol with a configuration object that gives a bit more control for the encoding and decoding processes.

I consider it's an interesting approach for fast UI development as a replacement to the Xcode playground. In my experience, SwiftUI previews are not as laggy as a playground.

p.s. Yep, previews aren't reliable as well, but... write a comment what do you think about this approach.

As we're waiting for a verdict in the "Epic vs Apple" battle, the Verge and Sean Hollister haven’t just been sitting around. They’ve been digging through a ton of internal emails and confidential presentations during the legal discovery process. Afterward, they prepared dirt on a variety of other companies as well: Microsoft, Sony, Google, Nintendo, Valve, Netflix, Hulu, and many others.


Some of my favorites in order to intrigue you:
- Apple had given Netflix a sweetheart deal where it took just 15 percent of subscriptions Netflix sold in its app (1)
- The similar subscriptions situation with Microsoft Xbox... (2)
- Apple had considered launching an ‘iPhone Nano’ (8)
- April 2013. Apple considered bringing iMessage to Android (20)
- “Don’t feature competitors in the App Store” - unwritten rule (22, 17)
...

Some of the WWDC21 features I really liked so far:

Xcode
- The Network template now includes a new Instrument for capturing and analyzing HTTP traffic
- You can now create, review, and merge pull requests using Xcode’s source control features, when signed into a GitHub or Bitbucket Server account
- Swift syntax highlighting in Xcode 13 is immediate and flicker free, both while editing and navigating between files. 🤞
- New refactorings help migrate to async code. “Convert Call to Async Alternative” is available on calls that take a completion handler as their last argument
- XCTest now supports test repetition
- Xcode Cloud. Remember Buddybuild?

UI
- Keyboard layout guide 🎉
- Native APIs for async image decoding and thumbnailing of images!
- Native bottom sheet?
- UIButton fully supports multiple lines of text

Foundation
- (NS)AttributedString supports Markdown now

SwiftUI
- AsyncImage - a view that asynchronously loads and displays an image
- Finally is able to hide separators between rows
- Custom swipe actions to a row in a list
- AttributedString in SwiftUI
- Pull-to-refresh

AppStore
- Try different app icons, screenshots, and app previews on your default App Store product page and compare their performance to understand what users like most. A/B 🤔
- Create additional versions of your product page to showcase different features or content, each with a unique URL

iOS
- iOS 15 brings back the magnifying glass for accurate text selection…
- Apple hasn’t dropped a device from an iOS release since iOS 13 in 2019
- Focus and notifications
- Safari Web Extensions are now available on all Apple devices that support Safari.
- Starting in iOS 15, drag and drop on iPhone is enabled by default.

MacOS
- TestFlight for Mac
- The power of Shortcuts is coming to macOS

and more!
