Coding with Xcode's Coding Intelligence is amazing. I used Aider.chat before but having the LLM directly integrated in the IDE feels very pleasing #xcode #llm

Reverse-Engineering Xcode’s Co...

If you want to check for iOS 26 (via xcode 16) `#available(iOS 26, *)` does not work `#available(iOS 19, *)` does work. #fail #iosdev #xcode #indiedev #ios26 #ios19 #xcode16 #lol

Es ist immer wieder „eine Freude“:
- Maui 8: kein Support mehr seit Mai.
- Maui 9 / .net9 seit Oktober letztes Jahr überhaupt mal „Release“
- Kompilieren mit net9 für iOS?
- braucht XCode 16.4+ (bisher 16.2 installiert)
- XCode 16.4 will mind macOS 15 (bisher 14 installiert)

Alter! Ich mecker nie wieder über Entwicklung für Microsoft Windows! #macos #dotnetMaui #xcode #developer

Super fun, my work Apple Developer account was locked and disabled. Apple Support’s suggestion? Make a new work email and get re-added to your project.

Why did it happen? Why was the request to unlock the account denied? Why was it disabled? No one is quite sure. Just that it doesn’t mean any loss of time as I now need to convince my org to give me a new email address or alias.

#wwdc25 #Xcode #AI #LLM #FoundationModels

If you want to use Xcode AI features, OR if you want to use Foundation Models AI API on iOS Simulator or macOS, looks like the only supported configuration is having Tahoe beta on the internal SSD of your Apple Silicon Mac

I sort of get why, see the thread (tl;dr: probably performance), but is there any official info from Apple about this requirement? Nothing in the few WWDC videos I saw so far

Has anyone seen the Foundation Models actually working? Am I holding it wrong? I am not getting any responses either in the playground or app, and there is a bunch of this crap in the console when running the app.

Running Xcode 26 beta on macOS 26 beta.

Are there regional restrictions? Xcode AI chat also is “unavailable in my region”.

Liebe Folglinge,

ich suche leider noch immer nach einem neuen Job als #iOS und/oder #macOS Entwickler. Ich spreche #ObjectiveC, #Swift (auch Server-Side) und #SwiftUI und nutze die ganzen Tools drumherum (#Xcode, #Git, #GitHub, #GitHubActions, #ShellScripting etc.). Ich bringe 30 Jahre Berufserfahrung als Software-Entwickler mit, davon knapp 20 im #Apple Ökosystem.

Am Idealsten waere eine #Festanstellung zu 100% remote. Sollte es im Raum #Bregenz oder #Dornbirn etwas geben, dann auch gerne vor Ort.

Ich danke euch fuers Teilen.

Interesting... Xcode 26 adopts the new System Settings-style for its Settings window... #WWDC25 #Xcode #macOSTahoe

Installing beta software on my main device isn’t a mistake.

It’s a personality trait.

I've written a new book called Escape from Tutorial Hell.

The book is complete, but not fully edited, so I'm offering a pre-release deal. For US$35, you get the first two of six sections, and you'll get the complete book when it comes out late in June. Wait until then, and it will be US$50.

Read all the details at https://troz.net/post/2025/new-book:-escape-from-tutorial-hell/ where you can also access a free sample.

The following article shows how to create Xcode source editor extensions:

Custom notarisation has become a lot easier in the last couple of years. As a reminder to my future self, here are the steps to prepare for manually notarising an app:

That feeling when you finally recall how to resolve that nagging #Xcode console warning that's been there for months.

When using Swift Packages in #Xcode, why can't we give a name to the new created file from a template?

It's always the same default name like "SwiftUIView.swift" for a #SwiftUI view...

Random Xcode shortcut discovery: if you're using a string catalog (e.g. Localizable.xcstrings) and you have a call to something that takes a String.LocalizationValue or LocalizedStringKey (e.g. String(localized:) or any SwiftUI component like Text() that takes a localized key argument), command-clicking on the string constant will jump you directly to the corresponding entry in the string catalog. #Xcode #SwiftUI
