Starting with Swift 6.2 and iOS 26, we can use enumerated() in SwiftUI List and ForEach views without wrapping it in an array. I wrote a post with some examples and notes on when we should avoid using the offset as an index or id: nilcoalescing.com/blog/UsingEnum…
This looks super interesting
Fuck this is looking good. If I was not slacking I would have built it.
Backports.. if you are looking at iOS26 API’s
I've added the `tabBarMinimizeBehavior` to our iOS Backports repo. If there are any other critical iOS 26 APIs you need, please open an issue and I'll be happy to add them! Also, to clarify, this repo is meant to be used with iOS 26 apps: github.com/superwall/iOS-…
Really internet interest in snippets..
📱 App Intents in iOS 26 📱 Interactive snippets are seriously awesome. Buuuut, they took a bit for me to understand. I've written up a guide covering how to make one, and explain how each piece fits together (sample project, too!). Enjoy!
Sad that liquid glass has been killed in iOS26 B3. Hope they bring it back. All of the delightful liquidness has gone.

I ported a USB DisplayLink driver to the ISA PicoGUS card so I could use it to watch MS-DOS games make changes to the VGA palette in realtime.
Awesome summary
What's new in SwiftUI for iOS 26? I'm glad you asked! hackingwithswift.com/articles/278/w…
👀 I really want to play with this in conjunction with entity extraction. #iosdev #swiftlang
Guided Generation is a thing of beauty in Foundation Models! #iOSDev #SwiftLang

Stretchy headers are a common pattern in iOS apps where the image expands as the user pulls down. We can create this effect in SwiftUI using the visualEffect() modifier without changing the image frame. I've just published a post about it: nilcoalescing.com/blog/StretchyH…

Apple's biggest algorithm change dropped last week and lots of apps are being affected right now. I reverse engineered it by analyzing keywords of apps that rose and dropped abruptly over the last week and my conclusion is: Apple's extracting keywords from screenshots. This is…
