I somehow assumed Apple would treat the #CloudKit bug as top priority without giving it a second thought, so I actually overlooked the phrasing the DTS engineer used in their post that @iandundas pointed out. Kinda crazy!
Looks like Apple broke #CloudKit sync in OS 26.4. Remote notifications don’t seem to arrive, so no updates unless the app is relaunched. https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/820550

@mrtoto Ich bin auch für erneuerbare Energie, aber für den Zeitraum war auch viel Kohle involviert. Mittlerweile wachsen erneuerbare Energien aber schneller in China.

Someone edited my post on the Swift forums, to change "SPM" to "SwiftPM". So I asked why.

My "purposeful misspelling" is "an unpleasant experience", and "SwiftPMs marketing materials and documentation consistently use correct spelling".

Purposeful? Wow. This is so rude. Get your paws off my text!

Just ask, next time. Convince people of using SwiftPM, if this is so important to you.

Apple, don't be surprised if developers don't file feedback anymore in Feedback Assistant.

I take the time to file detailed feedback with steps, device details + screen recording to help improve things for everyone.

Please, don’t reply to ask for things I’ve already provided...

@swiftlang swift-build being open source means we get build-time data at build time. Info that never surfaces in .xcresult, .xcactivitylog, or xcodebuild logs.

We forked it to output structured data to SQLite. Tested on @wikipedia iOS and @tuist . Agents identify bottlenecks, parallelization issues, and surface actionable warnings.

Open-sourced as Argus. Install via mise, set XCBBUILDSERVICE_PATH, configure agent memory.

Teaching AI to Read Xcode Builds

From debugging build issues to building agent-friendly build observability. Exploring how structured build data could transform how AI agents understand and optimize Xcode builds.

@pedro @obrhoff I got 3 from 2 and I’m happy. More battery life and ANC is enough reason for me.
