Incredibly grateful for Apple on recognizing my contributions in the developer community and featuring so many amazing people across the globe! I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for the community that got me started and helped me grow. I owe a lot to a number of people mentioned here, and more. Thank you! ❤️ developer.apple.com/communit…

Seems like the resizability work I've done over the summer and adding support for landscape mode are 99% of the work for iPhone Duo! 😍 Not too shabby, a few places to polish and figure out bar button placements, but I'm happy! ...and a sneak peek on a new chat feature...

Canada 🇨🇦 joining EU 🇪🇺 was not on my bingo card but it'll be interesting to see if and how that'll happen. On one hand, I love EU and they've done some amazing things. On the other hand they are annoying with their policies and centuries old laws. I guess we'll see...

The gold standard fluid interactions on iOS are built using in-process client animations (like SwiftUI does it) and not render-server animations (like CoreAnimation does it). This is common knowledge inside of Apple’s UI framework and system experience teams. A close inspection of iOS’s evolution reveals the gradual upgrading of system experiences written using render-server animations (that often disable user interaction) with ones using client animations (that are interruptible and interactive). The app switcher for iPhone X, the Dynamic Island, and Liquid Glass bars are prime examples of this trend. The other thing that makes these experiences feel so fluid is their use of spring animations that preserve velocity, rather than Bézier curve easing functions. To get velocity preservation, you need to be able to interrupt a spring animation and retarget it or drive it with a gesture. That’s a lot easier to do when the animation is running in the same process as the event handling. When we were first pitching SwiftUI, two of our go-to demos were a recreation of the iOS 9 navigation and Home Screen interactions which were fully interactive and interruptible, at a time when the actual implementations of those experiences in the OS disabled user interaction and ran server-side animations. CoreAnimation is great and the framework does much more than animation. You can build a fine app using its server-side animations. But if your UI framework can’t do efficient main thread client animations, there’s a ceiling to the quality of the experience your app can provide.

I've been working on this for 3 months, and here it is: My iOS and iPadOS 27 review: macstories.net/stories/ios-a… Customizable Liquid Glass, iPadOS, 15 system apps, and a big Siri AI chapter. And no, it's not a Snow Leopard release. Enjoy!

Happy iOS 27 day! Please Don’t Rain is a fun, convenient way to track if weather will affect a day that’s important to you. The iPad UI has been completely revamped. The UI elements will intelligently arrange themselves in a new layout instead of just being a vertical stack.

Nunch 3.0 is live and I'm excited for you to try it out! Started with a 'lil hiccup and app crash on iOS 26, but App Store reviewers were fast on it and approved the fix quicker than I fixed it 🙈

Reviewed in 5 mins! 🚀 @nunch_app 3.0 is ready for iOS 27 on Monday! Biggest update yet with lots of cool features and bunch of improvements ✨

So excited to come back and speak at a conference where it all started! Hope to see you there next month!
