iPhone Duo is coming and your agents won't have a clue how to build for it
So I turned all the new documentation, APIs and developer sessions into an agent skill
Grab it here: github.com/FloWritesCode/fwc…
The skill will get updated as new APIs / Xcode 27.1 gets introduced
🤖 Made with AI
If you already have small widgets, you're in luck
Because they show up automagically on the HomeView

I cover this and much more in the video!
There's no HomeViewKit SDK bringing your apps on the new HomeView
But there are two existing APIs instead. And they don't need Xcode 27.2 or above. You can get started building for this new device today.

On iPhone Duo’s Eve I just wanna say a big THANK YOU to the entire iOS developer community. Ya’ll have put your heart into the work and it’s amazing to see what everyone’s accomplished in such a short time. The energy is electric 🥹
iPhone Duo releases today! 🥳🥳
Congrats if you have your app ready on day 1.
But if you don't, no need to worry. Most devices are on backorder for MONTHS. There's still time to adapt your app.
Use my skill below together with Xcode 27.1's built-in skill. They'll save you tons of time!

Steve Troughton-Smith used to ask developers for their app's screenshots before major releases
I loved this tradition and was always excited to share my apps
Unfortunately, he left X a few years ago. I wanted to revive this tradition, hence my post below.
Support each other!

LaunchBuddy 7.2.0 is out!
This update is a major step towards @LaunchBuddy_App's vision of "everything in one place". Here's what's new:
• View your @RevenueCat metrics right inside the LaunchBuddy analytics screen (together with your ASC data if you've connected your ASC account)
• Redesigned Experiments screen to track your ASO experiments easier
• Redesigned task board with majorly improved performance
• Open your tasks as prompts in @cursor_ai / Codex / Claude Code
• Add your app's release dates to your Calendar with one click
• Improved navigation on iOS
If you need inspiration for your Duo apps - check out this thread.
Lots of great apps in there!
And while you’re there leave some constructive feedback, the devs will appreciate it.
I absolutely love that I can have my HomeKit accessories inside the macOS control center. I literally use this every day.

"Is there a HomeViewKit?" No.
But if your app already has widgets, you're closer to HomeView support than you think.
I walk through both APIs here:

I had a blast giving the closing keynote at @KotlinLeeds last week.
I spoke about my journey into iOS development and how mental limitations held me back.
Don't let "I can't" stop you. It doesn't matter. Do it anyways and learn how along the way.
