Hey, it’s Andy (@ay8s.com), iOS Engineer at Buffer 👋
This week, we're discussing the future structure of our Composer on iOS and Android.
The Composer is one of the most complex areas of Buffer, it supports every network we offer and has to work seamlessly on a screen that fits in your pocket.

Our iOS app got a summer overhaul, finally tipping the scales so Swift + SwiftUI make up most of the codebase. Hard to believe how much has changed since 2012. 😂
Last week was a big one for our iOS app - we shipped the most significant update since I (Andy) released the very first version back in 2012. 🚀

Our iOS app is looking a little different, ready for the upcoming iOS 26 release. 👀
I've been giving @buffer.com a little visual refresh this past week. Paired with iOS 26's Liquid Glass its feeling like a brand new app. #ios26 #ios

Want to help test our upcoming @buffer.com iOS 26 release? Join our TestFlight here: testflight.apple.com/join/DOpMcusn
After months of work, Liquid Glass adoption, Swift & SwiftUI modernisation, and our own GraphQL APIs, the first public build is here. I think it’s the smoothest it’s ever been.

Bloggers, what's your CMS of choice nowadays? I was running self-hosted WordPress for many years now, but I'm a bit tired of managing the server and customizing everything - not that I can't, I just don't have time for it.
