(devlog) the placeholder. that bugged me for a while

the culprit is to separate representations. both are used as a source of truth for different parts of the system. the UI deals with ui-representation; everything else relies on text-representation. that is a common design in wysiwyg/richtext editor.

of all code editors I'm aware, i find #xcode editor placeholder the most beautiful, and I plan to copy that ux

PSA: don't upgrade macOS 15.4 if you need #Xcode 16.2[1] - debugger crashing https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/775563

[1] Xcode 16.3 Swift has changes that may make the project no longer compile.

I broke #Xcode

I accidentally `mv`ed an empty folder instead of an empty into a package and called it RenderMermaid.swift

Now Xcode refuses to forget that this name was once occupied by a directory when I rename proper .swift files to RenderMermaid.swift

Hot take: Apple should not be allowed to ship any new sample code:
• Unless it is 100% “Strict Concurrency Checking == Complete” compliant (no warnings or errors).
• Unless it comes with unit tests (or, failing that, at least UI tests) providing 100% code coverage.

Further, they should be required to embark on retrofitting all of their prior sample code (for systems still active) to be compliant with the above.

I noticed yesterday that new #Xcode projects now use folders instead of groups. From the release notes, looks like that was part of Xcode 16. I guess I haven't noticed because I didn't create a new project since Xcode 16 came out?

It's very strange to not have control over the sort order anymore.

S4E5: @mikaelacaron and @twostraws talk networking – mostly about getting computers to talk to each other, but also, just as dauntingly, about talking to other humans at conferences too.

Plus: news, Apple delays, and the trifling little matter of the major changes you’re hoping to see in #Xcode, #SwiftUI, #SwiftData and more as #WWDC25 rolls around!

Dear #Xcode:

1. Yes, I told you to open double-clicked files in a new window

2. No, if the click brought the window to front and you did not adjust the selection and show the file in the current window, then the second click I do (which selects the item) is just that, a click to select it and show it in my window, *not* a double-click. You can't ignore the front click and count it towards a double click at the same time.

DEAR APPLE. WHY IS THE BEFORE-AFTER COLORS ON XCODE DIFFS PURPLE AND ORANGE?!?!? I CAN NEVER FIGURE OUT WHICH IS OLD AND WHICH IS NEW!!! GREEN AND RED FOR ADDS & DELETES, PLEASE!!!! #work #xcode #rage

Swift Assist: Apples KI-Tool fürs Programmieren fehlt bis heute

Nicht nur die persönlichere Siri mit KI wurde bislang nicht abgeliefert. Auch von einem von Apple angepriesenen Entwicklerwerkzeug fehlt bis heute jede Spur.

Auch wenn es mich selbst schon nervt, ich muss euch nochmal belaestigen...

Ich suche ab sofort einen neuen Job als #iOS und/oder #macOS Software-Entwickler. Ich hab viele Jahre Erfahrung auf dem Gebiet, kenne #ObjectiveC, #Swift, #SwiftUI, #Git, #Xcode und... naja, die ganze Toolchain drumherum eben.

Ich suche eine Remote-Only Festanstellung, keinen Freelance-Job (Vorzugsweise in Österreich, Deutschland geht aber auch). Wenn es in der Naehe von #Bregenz oder #Dornbirn ist, dann auch gerne Onsite.

Wenn ihr jemanden kennt, der jemanden kennt... ihr wisst schon.

Ich danke euch fuers rege Teilen/Boosten.

The Xcode release notes say you can zoom Instruments's flame graph to show lower weighted functions. How do you zoom the flame graph?

The zoom functions in the View menu zoom the graph in the timeline pane, not the flame graph.

My wishlist for #WWDC is right here

I’m proud to invite you to beta test AudioFlip for iPhone.

AudioFlip flips Apple Music links to Spotify’s and vice-versa, like a translator for streaming audio links.

The TestFlight invitation link is below. Feedbacks and boosts are welcome!

#Swift friends, is there a way to pin package versions in #Xcode projects?

App → Package A v0.1+ → Package B v0.2+

Now I want to pin `B` to 0.2 (not higher, b/c 0.3 introduced a problem)

Can't find how to silence

> dependency 'B' is not used by any target

in Xcode

I haven’t dont any serious programming since I decided to drop XCode/Swift. I’ve been spending time getting up to speed with XOJO and Pico-8 again. I should come up with a project or two…

#programming #xojo #pico-8 #xcode #swift

I want my Xcode project to automatically reflow and reformat Swift code every time it builds.What are teams using for this?

It looks like my best options are swift-format or SwiftFormat.

Ripping out old code is SO satisfying!
