Hey, guess what? I just dropped the first version of the CrystalGrid app! I’ve been experimenting with the new Liquid Glass, and this app is a cool twist on Sudoku—it’s all about keeping things clean, easy to understand, and fun for puzzle enthusiasts of all skill levels.
I’m thinking of adding even more cool features! What do you think would be awesome to have? Let me know in the comments!
The clear variant is available in Xcode 26 beta 3 🎉
.glassEffect(.clear, in: .rect(cornerRadius: 4))
SwiftUI doesn’t have “clear” Glass material variant available (only “regular” in the beta). Please file feedback as mentioned in this forum post, so we could have a chance to play with new material during the beta period. Regular/Clear were mentioned during the “Meet Liquid Glass” WWDC25 session.

It's time for another Swift Package Indexing.
Join us to talk about our five year anniversary of launching the Swift Package Index, adding Wasm and Android support to our compatibility testing matrix, WWDC 2025, and a rather lengthy (but interesting!) discussion of LLM-based coding tools. There's also a couple of package picks, as always!

I'll be playing around with a few different approaches including giving AndroidUIKit a go.
Any tips for avoiding frame drops when streaming+recording with OBS while compiling code would be greatly appreciated! I think I may have to give up on recording locally.
Oh wow 🤩

Be very careful with your passwords in Apple’s passwords app. I believe I've just lost access to my Gitlab account because I created a new password entry (for a PAT) with the same username as my existing one.
It nuked the 2FA setting and recovery codes and don't see any way to get them back.
If anyone has any idea how to recover the 2FA settings or get back into the account, I'd appreciate it.

@alexozun finally got around to watching your talk here. Truly fascinating stuff, and I learned something about non-Copyable types too!
I'm happy to announce FailKit https://github.com/jonreid/FailKit
In Swift 6.2, Swift Testing can validate process termination! 🎉
If your code uses `fatalError` or `precondition`, you can validate this with `#expect(processExitsWith:)`.
Quantum attacks are real🤖, even without quantum computers. Apple released a crucial 20-minute overview video on the threat of approaching quantum computing and how to defend against it. Stay aware and safe!
We can now use type-safe Swift symbols for localised strings! 🤩

Wow 🤩 I cannot wait to check “Coding by voice” in #xcode26
However, as long as those are NSObject types, there is a quick workaround. We can use NSObject metatype to bypass the restrictions. 🙃For example, take a look at working mock of SCDisplay. **Do not do this in production code**
Recently got caught up into testing of SCStream and other related types, e.g. SCDisplay, SCRunningApplication. Interestingly many of these types have unavailable initializer, so, there is no straight forward way to mock these types.

When do you write an article how do you keep a balance between generated and self-written content?
I skipped my regular stream today. However, I’m exploring methods to mock something that isn’t mockable through inheritance. Additionally, I’ve updated my blog, which was written using Ignite.🤞I hope, I’ll be able to write a quick article tomorrow with my findings.
