Claude Fable 5. Prompt: "Create a Nintendo 3DS game using Swift. I have the Azahar emulator installed, run it with that.". I ran this in an empty directory. This is what I got.

This was a light WWDC, but it sounds like a busy year for Apple. I wonder how many of those old issue cleanups are the result of giving coding agents a Radar MCP.

Apple seems fairly meticulous about documenting problems and there are so many issues that have had repro projects submitted over the years and not been acted upon.

I'm just speculating but it seems like a perfect problem to throw Claude Code at.

The Reality Composer team has too much time on their hands. https://youtu.be/oXZVGL7AjxI?si=KPpiJBcvjgYD1AhQ&t=648

Very early WWDC impression: Wow, so many changes that sound great. New Spotlight index, faster everything, Liquid Glass cleanups. Nice!

A thing I've long wanted from Apple is a cross-platform UI toolkit (not just cross Apple's devices). Acknowledge that the native-only strategy is out of date, and make the best of it.

They are already building cross-platform software. Pages, Keynote and Numbers are on the web. Apple Music and Apple TV are everywhere. Formalize it, and share it with the rest of us.

The societal problem isn't just AI. It's AI + Robots + Autonomous vehicles, and they're all coming at the same time. That's, like, most of the economy.
They also seem to have lost the ability to build serious software. Their whole suite of creative and professional software couldn't reasonably be built in the UI toolkit they expect the rest of us to use.
I'm still all-in on the Apple ecosystem, but I've just lost the excitement for WWDC. Apple cares about their users, and makes great products, but it feels like they see developers as a resource to be extracted, not partners. It didn't used to be that way.
