🎀 Speaking at CocoaHeads Stockholm tomorrow (Monday)!
In this talk, I'll show how to use Xcode string catalogs to localize Swift packages and how to build a shared translations package for your entire organization.

I'm redesigning the LicenseKit icon, and while I love the padlock, is the brown on brown too boring? I like the dark mode one. I tried with the complementary color, but I don't like that at all. Plain white?

I'm very excited to finally have a first beta out of a new closed-source SDK that I so far call MediaKit (I may have to change this later on). The idea is to make it super simple to create streaming media apps with Swift and SwiftUI. The library is so far pretty simple and a lot of things are coming to it, but I look forward to have a new project going.

My absolute favorite thing about moving the XCFramework and dSYM generation for my closed-source SDKs to GitHub Actions, is that I now can update my local machines to the latest macOS versions and just configure which macOS and Xcode version to use in the workflow.

My M2 MacBook Air has been mega slow since updating to macOS Tahoe. Turns out that removing the Spotlight indexing folder as discussed in this thread was the thing my computer needed. Now it's back to normal.

Did I dream this, or did Apple add a way to generate and display a spatial version of an image in your own apps?

My LicenseKit SDK (https://kankoda.com/licensekit ) lets you protect your apps and SDKs with commercial licenses. You can generate encrypted license files, generate licenses with code, ingrate with 3rd party services, etc. The included LicenseManager app template lets you create a multi-platform license app in #SwiftUI with a few lines of code. If you want to work around the high App Store take rates, licenses may be worth a look.

I just returned from speaking at BuildStuff, and obviously lost track of time. I have worked on finalizing a talk on String Catalogs for @cocoaheadssthlm that I believed was tomorrow, but it's not until the 15th. I guess I have one more week to polish it 🫠
