Wrote a custom #SwiftUI view that allows text-selection across view trees, so you can keep using SwiftUI views and view modifiers for layout without sacrificing text selection.

Wrote a custom #SwiftUI view that allows text-selection across view trees, so you can keep using SwiftUI views and view modifiers for layout without sacrificing text selection.

Is there any way to make a native #SwiftUI macOS settings window resizable, like the Xcode preferences window? No matter what modifiers I try, I can't get it to work.

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.

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 🤔

I’ve been experimenting with mesh gradients lately as colorful backgrounds that dynamically adapt to the content that’s being shown.

I watched this session for the first time a week ago, and I now think it’s an absolute must-watch. It covers the most common causes of hangs and explains very clearly what a fix can look like. Take a look:

Figuring out what useful info I could add to the tabViewBottomAccessory view now that it’s stuck on the screen. Thanks 26.1! 🫤(have actually got some good ideas)

One does not simply use conditional modifiers in SwiftUI 18.6... because if one does, one may experience tears and/or need to use expedited review 😭

Here we go again: the Swift Student Challenge 2026 has been announced. Not sure if I’ll be able to enter one last time, but I definitely recommend doing so!

I'm testing some apps on iOS 26.1 and at this point, I can't tell anymore what's me misusing the API, what's a SwiftUI glitch or expected behaviour.

#LiquidGlass 🤯 #SwiftUI

Replaced the Progress Indicator in Daft Music that was originally the SwiftUI slider with a custom version that is written with CoreAnimation and is wrapped in a NSViewRepresentable. (Also, the progress is now fully animated)

CPU Usage went down while playing from 3-4% to 0%.

I'm not that person that wants Objective-C and AppKit back, but often I have to drop down to optimize for things and it's not that SwiftUI is often easier than straight Core Animation.
