I’m seeing so many friends’ apps on the iOS 27 lists, and it’s making me so happy

a really big thanks to all those @Apple, @AppStore who made this happen. it's been a long work in progress! 🥳 there were people there at Apple who wanted to make this work, and I really appreciate the time and effort dedicated to giving a dev like me, making a to-do list app, a chance to showcase some of the new features with Siri AI 💙🎉 more to come! 🫡

First thing I wanted for Swiftsonic was a set list, not an agenda. That’s why we have Openers and Headliners. The day builds: fresh voices, deep experience, practical Swift and iOS stories. Nashville · Nov 20–22 🎟️ swiftsonicconf.com

Just wanted to point out that with Trump attempting to rename Lake Ontario to Lake America, the acronym for the Great Lakes would no longer be HOMES. It would be SHAME.

I love that I work a job where “Someone is feeding text from War and Peace, by Leo Tolstoy, into that request field” is the actual root-cause analysis for unusually large log entries

People don’t understand why I choose to work in person. It’s because I get to see modern art like this.

The best advice given to me for when to ask for a review was from @benfreiband “Ask for a review after the user has had a positive experience in your app”
Viktor Seraleev
@seraleevJun 17
🚨 Another App Store rule change. Apple is now rejecting apps that ask for a rating on first launch or during onboarding. Looks like the era of collecting thousands of easy 5-star reviews before users even try the app is coming to an end. Apple is cleaning up the App Store.

As a rule of thumb, I don't praise Chris. It's bad for him. But he's been working hard on this and I'm excited to see it

I made a new app (first in 3 years) and it would REALLY help me if you pre-ordered it. What's My Set is a simple, accessibility set counter for workouts with accessibility as a priority. The handy rest/interval timers bump the set counter for you. apps.apple.com/us/app/whats-…

🤫Feeling the eerie quiet after #WWDC26? Lets make some noise together again in November at SWIFTSONIC! 🎸We dropped SWIFTSONIC ROCKSTAR at WWDC where you can beat @swifteves in a guitar duel for a cheaper ticket! Think you can become rock royalty? 🕹️swiftsonicconf.com/rockstar/

If Apple is able to identify your contacts in camera roll photos, I wonder what’s stopping them from making it easy to simply share the photos with those people?
