moreSwift just joined Open Source Collective. If you've ever considered sponsoring the development of SwiftCrossUI or Swift Bundler, there's never been a better time!
Much of my recent work has been supported by @videovillageco, meaning that for now funds will mostly go to moreSwift’s external core contributors (who have so far done everything in their own time ❤️).
Windows apps built with SwiftCrossUI are now 200mb smaller! 🎉 SwiftPM's static linking support has recently improved on Windows, allowing me to merge swift-winui and all of its dependencies into a single monorepo with static linking. Static linking lets the linker drop a lot of unused code.
SCUI's Counter example used to take up 360mb on Windows and now it uses 144mb (including the Windows app runtime installer).
SwiftCrossUI's AndroidBackend now supports sheets thanks to @bbrk24!
Repository Link TLDR If you needed a simple way to securely store credentials from your app on desktop linux, without system dependencies, here you go. Why The Swift ecosystem for apps on Apple devices is quite established. For a lot of the tedious work, there are already packages with a nicer, simplified API. This is not so much the case for Linux, especially not the Swift app ecosystem. If you ever needed to store sensitive data, like an API key, passwords,… there’s a good chance you have ...
Mia Koring (a frequent SwiftCrossUI contributor) just released KeyringAccess, a Swift package that simplifies secrets management on Linux by providing a simple API for the freedesktop Secret Service interface.
I'm excited because packages like KeyringAccess help to reduce the barrier for porting macOS apps to Linux!
SwiftCrossUI v0.6.0 is out now. This release brings a ton of Android feature parity improvements thanks to @bbrk24, and Gradient support thanks to Mia Koring!
This release also includes the new DocC tutorials that Kaleb Ascevich created from our existing how-to guides.

Thanks to Mia Koring, SwiftCrossUI now support gradients! (linear, radial, and angular/conical)
Kaleb Ascevich recently converted SwiftCrossUI's quick start documentation and platform-specific setup guides into DocC tutorials, with screenshots and all!
I've been working on SwiftCrossUI for a long time and I still refer back to our Swift dev environment setup guides occasionally when setting up new VMs and machines (particularly when they're running Windows), so I'm sure others will find them useful too; even more so now that they're visually easier to follow!
