Mind blown. #Xcode autosaves. 🤯

It makes sense upon reflection, but I already had formed a habit in the 90’s of manually saving my files (probably a holdover from working with Visual Studio during that time).

Then, in Xcode I went so far as to always using Option-Command-S for Save All because of the ingrained (and evidently misplaced) file-save-paranoia. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Now I catch myself before doing the awkward keyboard shortcut.

Thanks for liberating me, @siracusa @atpfm @caseyliss @marcoarment 🤣

@peterfriese I’d like to use Xcode 26.3+ with Gemini (since that's the only AI/LLM/Agent system I’m approved to use), but it seems like that’s more easily said than done right now.

Do you think we'll have some streamlining on either side (Google or Apple) to make that an easier process?

Or do you have any hints/tips to make it work a little more easily?

(I don't even need agentic functionality, though it would be nice.)

TFW you end up at the mall where the Apple Store used to be... 😭

@davelightbeam If one was thinking of building a simple MIDI patch change utility for iOS, would it be better to take a look at MIDIKit or would it be better to consider going with something like AudioKit? I want something very easy to work with that I can get a project going quickly and I wasn't sure if AudioKit would be overkill.
