I just realized with this perspective how good a glass dock á la OS X Leopard would look like now with reflections and refraction. Probably would not work on iPhone due to the rounded display, but still.
Is this "Coding Tools" stuff working for anyone when using an agent in Xcode? Seems like it always asks me to specify what I mean, so the context is not being fed into it. This used to work with the previous integration and still works when selecting GPT-5 in the sidebar beforehand, but it's annoying.

So they made the Pro Display XDR worse (smaller, thicker bezels, but stand included!) and gave the regular Studio Display nothing of interest?? Well, that is a downer.
It‘s really going to take until this year‘s releases until visionOS and tvOS get support for Icon Composer glass app icons? Wow.
That is not what my iPad looks like, Apple. Also, I‘m not sure why I would ever want to select anything other than Speaker when I‘m on a call. It‘s just annoying that I must navigate this menu everytime.
The one thing OpenAI needs to get straight is their feature set across all apps and platforms. Just noticed that ChatGPT Atlas has a feature to save prompts with variables that you can easily repeat with new data. Can't find that on the web or in the app anywhere.

And of course there‘s no way to get the display corner radius, right? ConcentricRectangle does, of course, not work. #swiftui
watchOS: Any tips on how to show a image inside a View which fills the whole screen (needs ignoreSafeArea?) without it breaking when a NavigationStack transition occurs?
I basically want to achieve this look inside a TabView, a tap opens another view. Right now during that transition the safe area is not ignored anymore and the image breaks.
How about we do one consistent cursor across all operating systems for this year, Apple?
Welp. Netflix is not buying Warner Bros. after all, but Paramount Skydance is. Damn.
A simple ScrollView(.horizontal). Why does the LazyHStack have an unnatural height, while the HStack works correctly. What am I missing? #SwiftUI
So, best practice to update views when a NSManagedObject changes is still to do this manually, right? Like I need to set the property again and then have something like updateUI().
(Example: a detail view controller which has multiple smaller views)?
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiview/updateproperties does only work for Observable objects. #UIKit
RE: @macrumors@mastodon.social
How much did Apple pay for this? And just stupid how it's looking just completely non-native, because of course it is.
RE: @markgurman@mastodon.social
What is even going on at that company, ffs.
I enabled all those extensions because I wanted to. I don‘t need to see all those icons in the address bar all the time. Thanks, Apple.
For the past few weeks I had some very weird issues with my Apple Home system, where some bulbs in a group would stay on randomly or a bulb would show as on but it wasn‘t. Stuff like this is so complicated to debug. Is it the Ikea bulb? The connection to the Hue hub? HomeKit? My Unifi setup?
I don‘t understand why you need to throw windows to the edge so awkwardly on iPad to make them fill 50% of the screen. It‘s especially weird if you use indirect input like a trackpad. It works fine on macOS be dragging windows to the edge to make them snap.
This whole "Hey Siri" thing really gets really annoying when you have a HomePod, iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Watch in the same room at once. The detection which device should take the request is not good enough. Furthermore, especially when controlling your home accessories, there can be misunderstandings because your HomePod knows what room you're in, but your phone does not. This could potentially be solved with UWB?
iPadOS 26.3 RC and it still runs at like 70 FPS on my M4 iPad Pro.
Are there any good blog posts from real developers about #ASO #AppStoreOptimization out there that's not the typical, hypothetical bullshit but real world examples? #BuildInPublic
What's the magic needed to make toolbar item transitions animated? Using withAnimation kind of works but looks very buggy. #SwiftUI
I have a UIViewRepresentable of a UITextView and want to show a safe area bar below the title bar. I need ignoresSafeArea so that the text view is not cut off at the top and bottom and that works. But as soon as I add the safeAreaBar that breaks. Any idea how I can achieve both? The entire view itself it contained inside a UIHostingController.
I must say Apple is moving faster than I was expecting on this. I thought we would need to wait for further improvements to the AI integration until WWDC.
Does anyone with a Pro Max phone know if applying scenePadding(.horizontal) is 20pt (as it should, like in #UIKit) or 16pt? #SwiftUI The simulator always uses 16pt, making interoperability with UIKit very annoying with different margins.
So what exactly do I need to do to get the Create branch button when working in a separate worktree? I only ever see the Sync with local button. #codex #SwiftUI
This looks so good. Give it to me on iPad please!
