Earlier today I filed FB22997162 "In watchOS targets, Xcode 27 beta 1 (27A5194q) fails to build package dependencies, that do not explicitly declare a watchOS platform"

The error is: "The watchOS Simulator deployment target 'WATCHOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET' is set to 8.0, but the range of supported deployment target versions is 9.0 to 27.0.x"

This also happens when you depend on a package that for example declared `.watchOS(.v8)` in it's platforms.

@cronocx @marioguzman I tried my best to create something that is nice to touch and have in your hands. Although I’m quite happy with the digital version I built (https://thesis.simonlou.com)—it’s nice to have a version for longer reads and to look at on the bookshelf.

We have a running joke on the team. Whenever we’re fed up fighting a framework and can’t find workarounds, someone proposes sending one of us as an undercover intern to that framework’s team at Apple, to fix the bugs from within. Over the years this has targeted

We started working on this release long before WWDC, but rumors of a redesigned macOS were strong and we were ready for it — here’s some of the ways that we embraced and also pushed Apple’s new design language for @Sketch Copenhagen

I'm thinking of getting a salaried job after years of freelancing. (The stress and overhead isn't worth it with a toddler, I'd rather have it calm.)

If you know someone who needs a #Swiftlang dev with 10+ years of experience, macOS and iOS, also some C and #Rust, who can self-manage and also manage-manage and act as product owner etc. (I'm also an indie with the full spectrum of experience), do share!

Thanks 🙏
