I Turned My iPhone Into a Wave Link Mixer

If you pass an externally-created ObservableObject into StateObject(wrappedValue:), SwiftUI may end up reusing the same instance across view identity recreations instead of creating fresh state.

I wrote a short deep dive on why this happens and what to do instead.

StateObject & External Data | Swift by Vince 👨🏼‍💻

Be careful when passing external data into a view that's using @StateObject!

I have many examples, but let me share a most recent one: Spotify always focused on being fast and responsive and on playlists. Recently it’s been a pain to maintain collaborative playlists on desktop. The share button doesn’t add a collaborator anymore. Adding songs to playlists takes ages to load.
I really have the feeling they gave up on corporate software in 2026. Like so few still care about thoughtfully created quality software. It’s just about shipping no matter what. Some even seem to be losing their core values. On the other hand software is as expensive as ever. It just makes me sad.
My new Mac app is out today! It's called Kickstart, and it has just one job: helping indie app developers make more money on the App Store. It is *packed* with features, many of which are completely free. Get it here: https://apps.apple.com/app/kickstart-app-accelerator/id6758355178

Recognition - Community - Apple Developer

All around the world, developers do meaningful work that extends beyond great apps and games. They organize events, write tutorials, mentor others, and create spaces to learn and grow.

So… turns out my gf is using an Apple Magic Mouse as UV lamp for her nails?
(I know the iPhone comes with a similar functionality built-in, but when I don’t hear my doorbell, my iPhone also doesn’t. And very unfortunately, the HomePod can only recognize alarms)
