LOL you ok there Apple Photos? #ios26

Some days I'm scared for my iOS job from AI.

Today I have successfully created a ObjC wrapper for a C++ 3rd party framework that hooks into a Swift Project but skips attaching said framework for iOS Simulator because the framework doesn't support it.... and I feel better about not losing my career.

Quick Feedback on a few minutes with it:

- give option or don't include screen recordings in the list. I have too many app testing videos saved.
- had some really old videos that were probably just on iCloud, that tried and then just showed a black screen. Perhaps a static video with a message if it can't play it?

@JustMeDevin I smiled the first time I saw a moving video in a little tv - reminded me of watching "old" videos on VCR and fuzzy tv's.

Did send a duplicatable crash in via feedback.

TIL that you can do a min/max in swift on a Date Array to get the earliest/latest.

Starting in Xcode 26 Beta 2 - Apple has split out arm64 only runtimes vs universal (arm64 + x86_64). Saving a few GB!

This is fixed in Beta 2 but now when searching via a photo picker the suggestion popup is really tiny and loses context.

Woah! Is this a bug in iOS 26 or does Apple now show total time for ads?

If so - yikes!

@matt1corey One option might be to 0 it out at the high level, then each section (if that's what you have) add padding/inset.

@matt1corey does setting `.listRowInsets`? to 0 work?

@jaanus I mean I tested on a few and some didn't return what I wanted :)

Existing apps when using `. photosPicker` in iOS 26 Beta 1, the search button gives "unable to load photos" view.

This makes me happy in so many ways :)

Xcode CLI 1.6.1 has been released with a fix for users getting "Cannot initialize Kind from invalid String value Cryptex Disk Image"

Is it me, or is the slider on camera app in iOS 26 backwards? I'm dragging the background vs dragging the glass knob and it feels wrong?

Today I was lucky enough to get on a plane with WestJet new starlink internet. Watched Netflix doom scrolled TikTok.

I am going to be disappointed on every other plane now if I don’t have this.
