Swift TO Is Closing Down
mjtsai,
Kyle Newsome: A lot of forces seemed to work against us this year. This made organizing quite a difficult and emotional challenge at times. Unfortunately this included some mistreatment from Apple’s Developer Relations team. Apple dangled the idea of supporting this conference. They asked for us to send our plans/financials, then ghosted without any explanation. […]
Apple’s Use of Swift and SwiftUI in iOS 17
Alexandre Colucci (Hacker News): Unsurprisingly, there has been a significant increase in the number of apps adopting SwiftUI this year.

Take directory walking. In C, this looks something like the following: FSIterator *iter; OSStatus err = FSOpenIterator(&directory, kFSIterateFlat, &iter); if (err != […]
Xcode 15 Duplicate Library Linker Warnings
Daniel Jalkut: Even though I’ve been seeing them all summer, and have been annoyed by them, I made the same mistake I often make: assuming that the problem was too obvious not to be fixed before Xcode 15 went public. Alas. […] Something about the way Xcode infers library linkage dependencies has, for several years […]
Thinking in SwiftUI (2023)

We explain the most important concepts in detail and help you build a solid foundation for understanding SwiftUI. Since SwiftUI is a large framework, the book focuses on the concepts behind the framework that […]
