I like that in iOS 18, the replace symbol effect in SwiftUI uses the new magic replace option by default when possible. It's great for enabling smooth transitions for slashes and badges in SF Symbols.

You can find some more information about it in my post: https://nilcoalescing.com/blog/EnhancedReplaceTransitionForSFSymbolsInIOS18/

Push notifications on iOS can be tricky. I wrote a few blog posts that might help:

When we need to compare arrays based on custom criteria in Swift, we can use elementsEqual(_:by:) method. It allows us to define custom comparison logic with a closure, offering more flexibility than using == operator.

You can find the code with example usage of elementsEqual(_:by:) method on my blog: https://nilcoalescing.com/blog/CompareArraysBasedOnCustomCriteria/

Excited to release our app update for #iOS17 🥳

Exsto - Relaxing Drawing 3.0 is available to download and try out for free: https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id6444933770

@hishnash and I added new interactive widgets that let you create abstract art right from the home screen. Every tap ads a new stroke, so you can watch your masterpiece evolve throughout the day 🎨

The update also includes support for SharePlay, so that you can collaborate on your artworks with friends and family.

I recently discovered that we can add icons to action buttons in push notifications on iOS. Great way to make notifications more intuitive and visually appealing!

I wrote a post about how to declare such buttons with images and assign them to notification categories: https://nilcoalescing.com/blog/NotificationActionButtonsWithImages

Excited to share that I'll be giving a talk at #iOSDevUK in September this year! I’ll be sharing my learnings on implementing remote push notifications in a large-scale application.

Grateful to be given the opportunity to present remotely from New Zealand but also a bit sad that I won't be joining everyone else in person in Aberystwyth. Maybe next time 🙂

In iOS 17 we can interpolate text with foregroundStyle() modifier applied which lets us style ranges of text in SwiftUI with gradients or even custom Metal shaders.

The special #WWDC23 offer on my book “Integrating SwiftUI into UIKit Apps” is still valid for a few more days. The purchase includes all future updates and I’m already working on some additions for iOS 17 👩‍💻

The book is currently 40% off: https://books.nilcoalescing.com/integrating-swiftui

Great for UIKit developers with existing code bases who would like to gradually transition to SwiftUI and take advantage of new features and APIs!

First look at Xcode 15 beta 👀 The new syntax for SwiftUI previews looks so much simpler 😃
