I tried something fun today: printing one of my app’s icon with an NFC tag embedded inside. For this, I designed a coin-shaped chamber where I inserted the tag during a pause in the print. Now, holding the icon near your iPhone automatically opens the app’s page.

Did you know iOS 26 introduces a new button initializer that only takes a role and an action as parameters?
Based on the role, a fully localized label with a custom icon is generated. This also provides a native way to get the sheet close and confirm buttons.

I've now updated all iOS screenshots on https://exploreswiftui.com with their Liquid Glass variants. Additionally, the code is now formatted much more nicely, and the screenshot variant is now synced with the browser’s dark mode setting.

https://Exploreswiftui.com will soon see a big update with dedicated support for Liquid Glass. I’ll update screenshots of existing elements while keeping the flat versions. This also enables exploring the new language and comparing it with the old flat design.

Let’s say I’ve installed an app called “Stampy” where I keep track of my stamp collection, and this app allows me to say to Siri, “Add a new stamp to my collection.”

How am I supposed to know that I’m able to do that, or how I should phrase the request?

I did a lot of work today, some quite frustrating, getting widgets all working across Mac, iPhone and iPad. Still some tweaks needed, but the new app is almost done, functionality wise 🤔

Looking at several projects I’ve come across recently, I have serious doubts that a largescale transition to Swift 6 is going to happen.

Many teams are still producing large amounts of legacy code that does not take Swift 6 into consideration at all.

This trend seems to be further reinforced by LLMs and by engineers who simply want to get the job done.

Are we stuck?
