I am planning videos for my WWDC 25 content series and right now I am focussing on Liquid Glass. Man there is a lot of stuff to cover here. Going to be at least 2 separate videos and that is really only going to scratch the surfaces. All controls and navigation components are affected. Lots of fun and new learning though.
Before my WWDC25 content begins on August 3, here’s one final SwiftUI gem: learn to integrate SF Symbol and Emoji Pickers using two custom packages I created. Full examples, real use cases, and starter project included. https://youtu.be/lU-Q5ihwM54

Been having fun with Icon Composer as I script and record a video coming in August. Once you understand the Interface, the sky is the limit.
Patio maintenance wine test time. One French, and one Chilean. Both Viognier. Which one will win?
The link to the AppIcon Template for Figma is broken: https://www.figma.com/community/file/1527717814063579915
Does anyone have an updated link?
As has been pointed out to me, my example is perhaps not the best example as the key is still being sent over the network and can be sniffed. The obfuscation technique is still valid in that hackers won’t find it in your app. There still has to be a better way to make api requests using a key. Perhaps another video on the horizon.
Your API key might be hiding in plain sight. In this video, I’ll show you how to extract one from a compiled iOS app and then how to protect it using Swift ConfidentialKit. #Swift #SwiftUI #Xcode

What are people doing who have updated to macOS 26 and have many, many menubar apps as I do? Bartender is broken and I have had to just display a few in my menubar and disable many others. Does anyone have a solution?
Does anyone have last year’s Landmarks sample project that they can share with me? I can no longer find it on the Developer site as it points to the WWDC25 version. I am looking for the WWDC24 version.

@StewartLynch I wholeheartedly agree with that.

@StewartLynch I had an awesome public discussion a while ago and the best advice I got was β€œdon’t store them on device.” Since then, I moved them to the server and implemented new APIs so clients would not be calling those services directly. This might not be possible with Firebase, since it requires a custom Google plist.

Would be great to see Apple provide a solution, some sort of integrated vault to handle this problem.
