Turns out you can actually buy third party Apple Watch dock and use it with Xcode. The debugger actually works now compared to the wireless development stuff 😂

My first Hackintosh machine from 2020 has served-out its purpose as hMac and it’s now a rather powerful gaming PC.

Changed the motherboard to ROG Strix B550-I which has enough connectors so that all of that front I/O can actually work (a rare thing for that gen).
Still loving the look of the NCASE M1 case, truly a classic gem now.

This morning got a need to test an app in bad network conditions and this tool (found via @iosdevweekly) worked great:

Network Throttler — Throttle Network Speed on macOS for Testing

Throttle your Mac's network speed to test apps on slow, lossy, or unreliable connections. Simulate 3G, Edge, flaky WiFi, and more from your menu bar.

I am finding Xcode Agentic code UI quite good, I love how it marks up code inline, you can follow smaller changes in real time as they are done, in the code files directly. Really good stuff.

Another good stuff is that agent internal thinking is revealed. I find it good read and often amusing as I recognize those a-ha! moments :)

Has anyone found a reliable way to teach Claude Agent in Xcode 26.3 that it should never start 100s of XcodeUpdate tasks to edit one call site among many?

That does not work at all since it trigger rate-limiting on Claude API and then I have 100s of tasks which should be working for 20ms but are stuck for minutes.
Very annoying.

Now, you're probably thinking "this is great! But how would I have known about these if you hadn't told me?" Well, I'm also releasing a new GitHub repository curating agent skills for Swift developers – SwiftUI, SwiftData, accessibility, ASO, and more. https://github.com/twostraws/Swift-Agent-Skills
