Oh hey, a little Friday night blog post.

Iconic loading: Showing your app’s own icon in 2026 https://objectionable-c.com/posts/iconic-loading/

#iosdev

I planned to release a bugfix update 4 days ago, but the review took longer than expected and I found a bug, so I cancelled and fixed it. Then I resubmitted, but while waiting I decided to make a small improvement and cancelled again. Today I cancelled for the third time to fix and improve… Damn, I need to break this cycle somehow! 😅 #agendus #iosdev #indiedev

I have so many problems with Spotlight not returning results or grinding to a halt days ugh. Both system wide and when using the index in my own and other apps. Makes me want freaking integrate Lucene! #iosdev #macdev

While adopting Agendus for iOS 26, I ended up fixing many small issues I hadn’t planned to address. Though I’m not a fan of Liquid Glass, I have to admit it pushed me to resolve all those tiny annoyances and glitches. And I haven’t even mentioned the completely redesigned iPad experience yet! #agendus #ios #iosdev #indiedev

Modularity promises independence, but without architectural discipline it delivers circular dependencies and inflated interfaces instead. Here's what goes wrong when splitting code too eagerly.

Okay friends. What’s a good indie app for tracking GLP-1s? #health #weightloss #iOSDev

You’ll learn to model loading, success, and failure, load async data without heavy view models, share state via Environment, and handle empty, error, and refresh states cleanly — all while keeping screens simple.

After 6 months of coding and refining, I’m thrilled to launch Crowfi! 🚀

I wanted to build a Mastodon client for iOS that feels fast, looks clean, and respects the way we use the Fediverse.

🍎 Get it on the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/crowfi/id6756513753

Please Boost to help me reach the community! 🔄

I’d love to hear your feedback as I keep building. ✨

Are VIPER and MVVM really different patterns in SwiftUI? This analysis maps VIPER components directly onto MVVM equivalents and reveals why the extra boilerplate isn't worth it.

I’ve been rethinking my content for the AI-era.
My last video was about solving a real iOS issue, not just explaining an API https://youtu.be/Uso8T5xBidk

I’m expanding this approach into a new series focused on system design cloning iOS Apps, starting from Clock App.

Stay Tuned!☺️ #iosdev

For those who are still on iOS 18, I have a special setting to revert to the old pre-glass icon! #iOS #iosdev #indiedev #agendus

Tạo ứng dụng "điều người dùng muốn" → thực tế: người dùng tải về, mở 1 lần rồi rời đi. Đánh giá trên App Store thường vô ích (#iOSdev #Fintech).

Sometimes the "e" key is unresponsive on the iOS Simulator when using the hardware keyboard to enter text. Until now, I had to restart the simulator to fix it.

I just figured out that pressing CMD+e fixes it.
CMD alone probably works, too. I'll keep you updated when it happens again so I can test this.

(I assume it's something with modifier flags.)

SwiftData schema changes are inevitable. But when does automatic migration handle it, and when do you need manual intervention? This guide explores the boundaries.

Hey iOS devs, I just released a new iOS specs matrix in a completely revamped format https://dorianroy.com/blog/archives/496 #iosdev #apple

On the positive side of all things Apple dev, my most recent app update was approved in 4 hours from submission.

I suppose if we have to have this gatekeeping it should at least be quick.

Using `@Observable` in SwiftUI? Make sure you're initializing it correctly! @natpanferova explains the importance of `@State` storage and how to use `.task` for lazy initialization to avoid performance issues.
