🗣️ I do enjoy a good rumor, so I'll share this nugget:

I have heard that SwiftUI has been losing political capital, and credibility, internally at Apple because it has repeatedly failed to meet software engineering goals, and needs. It's no longer thought of as clear default choice for new stuff.

That might explain why it was deemphasized at WWDC compared to the past few years.

Comforting that Apple might finally be waking up to the reality of SwiftUI, 6 years in. Glad I waited that one out 😅

SwiftUI gives us a lot of control when styling SF Symbols, including custom foreground styles. One simple technique is to apply a foreground style with an inner shadow to make an icon look cut out from its background: https://nilcoalescing.com/blog/AddAnInnerShadowToASymbolImageInSwiftUI/

I can't find you folks. Where sits the majority of the Swift community? X? Blue Sky? Mastodon?

"Running code on the Main Actor is a terrible idea. You should always avoid blocking the Main Actor!"

In this week's post I take a look at Xcode 26's "Main Actor by default" setting and I provide my thoughts on whether you should opt-out or not.

Should you opt-in to Swift 6.2’s Main Actor isolation? – Donny Wals

Swift 6.2 comes with a some interesting Concurrency improvements. One of the most notable changes is that there’s now a compiler flag that will, by default, isolate all your (implicitly nonisolated)…

Majid's blog is full of well-written articles on different aspects of Swift. Here's a quick look at one of the new features in Swift 6.1 for test scoping: https://swiftwithmajid.com/2025/04/15/introducing-swift-testing-scoping @Mecid
Introducing Swift Testing. Scoping.

Apple recently released Swift 6.1, with most of the changes being cosmetic. However, I particularly like the scoping feature introduced in the Swift Testing framework. This week, we’ll delve into the new test scoping feature and explore how to effectively utilize it in Swift.

Somehow I had totally missed the `FormatStyle` addition to Foundation with iOS 15. I love the API and already have so many uses for the built-in formatters, as well as creating my own, and encapsulating some custom date formatting that uses a mix of date formatters depending on how long ago the date was / is.
