I'm working on McKinley, a Mac app for making SF Symbols, launching soon around the end of August!
Do your vector editing within McKinley, or import SVGs from any source. Make variable symbol weights by setting line widths or adjusting geometries. Preview in-app, including animation, and export straight to an asset catalog.

πΈ PhotInfo 8.23 & NG 4.23 are out β the update I teased a few weeks ago π
It's been about 7 months since the last release: I switched to a new Mac and rebuilt my whole dev toolchain along the way. This one is pure polish β fixes for the Share extension map, a rare theme-switch crash on iPad/Mac, and a saving hang for imported photos.

The latest version is now out and this one brings a lot of new features.
- See the climbs you went over
- Save the road conditions

Iβm finding that TestFlight / App Store Connect accept apps built with Xcode 27 beta 5 but not beta 4 (which is what GitHub Actions hasβ¦). Has anyone else figured out:
1. is the newest beta Xcode always required for uploads?
2. is this documented anywhere beyond hitting the error when you try an upload?

Some more playing around with the Model and trying to tweak it. But I gotta be honest. Sometimes it feels like AI slop and the model increases the binary size by 50mb.

managing multiple apps in app store. one screen. that's all i wanted. open it up, see how the portfolio is doing, close it, get back to living life.

Why does the space bar reposition cursor on iOS sometimes move by pixel and sometimes by character? I wish Iβd always move by character. The pixel-based navigation is so ambiguous. Is it the kind of tax field control being used? #iOSDev

Haven't yet found an online community where I can go
#postquantum keys for deep links amirite
review times in the #appstore amirite
...that isn't either dead or filled with noob spam of "why app won't work?"
But for sure I'm not the only one submitting at least a couple of #mobile apps every month. Would love to #pwa instead, but here we are. Thanks #apple

SwiftUI toolbars are getting more honest about the world our apps live in now: resizable windows, cramped layouts, search taking over the top bar, and actions that do not all deserve equal billing.

Anyone using #Postiz for social media content planning?
The web app is not really mobile responsive, so Iβm locking into building a native app for Apple platforms. -
@Observable is lovely until we miss the convenience of @AppStorage and @SceneStorage, and this package steps into exactly that gap. By adopting ObservablePersisted, an observable class can define persisted keys and read/write values with less boilerplate than hand-rolling UserDefaults glue everywhere.

Some more progress. It's basically a drop in replacement for the Animated Artworks, if they don't exist. I hope I can resolve some rendering artifacts but so far so good.

one of my favorite things in appstead is the "What Changedβ feature.
open the app and immediately see what happened across your portfolio since you last checked.
i finally built the insights engine iβve wanted for years because apple wouldnβt.

Plait-dev #21
Plait is out π A personal CRM for the people you don't want to forget β when you last met, what you talked about, the birthday you keep almost missing.
Kept on your iPhone, synced through your own iCloud. No LinkedIn. No scanning your contacts. No subscription. $12.99 once, and 15 people free to try.
Four weeks, in public, right here.

Iβm wondering: what are good ways to get some initial traction for a new app. Especially when it is built for a specific niche?

Unit tests should not pay for our whole app launch ritual: persistence, analytics, network calls, first-screen setup, all the stuff that makes test feedback slow and weird.

Finally updated ShapeUp to 1.0.0!
Create corners using relative anchor points, apply corner styles, move/rotate/scale/mirror them with ease, add notches along any edge, and wrap them in a CornerShape that is automatically Insettable and Animatable.
I'll post about the new features soon but in the meantime you can grab the new version now and check it out for yourself.

I donβt mind spending time trying to figure something out. I usually learn things.
I do resent the sneaking suspicion that #SwiftUI is getting in the way and it just canβt be done.
Iβm still trying to get a reliable routine to grab a url from a drag/drop of a Safari URL. I have a few ways that work until the URL points to an file (jpeg, index.html, etc.) Then nothing seems to work.
Maybe itβs not SwiftUI, but the fact SwiftUI so often is part of the problem is depressing.
