📣 PSA: if you're migrating from #Affinity Designer, the "Export Persona" features are now in the "Slices Studio".
Was happy to find this as I need it to export layers for iOS 26 Icon Composer app icons 🤓
(Btw. you can show which "studios" should be visible and hide the Canva AI stuff altogether 😏)

First time speaking at a conference! Little nervous tbh… 😳
Oh and of course I'm not just wrapping up the final polish of my slides on the literal train there - who would do such a thing? 😅
Looking forward to meeting many fellow iOS folks again soon ☺️

Just boosting for visibility. If anyone's in #Berlin tomorrow or the day after and wants to grab dinner/drinks etc with a couple #iOS / #Swift / #AppDev nerds then feel free to say hi! (even if you're not an iOS dev of course!)
Hey is anyone of my iOS dev connections planning to attend the post-WWDC event in #Berlin on July 4th?
I'd love to hang out and would be happy to reserve a table or something for an "informal Apple dev meetup dinner/drinks thingy" the night before on the 3rd.
LMK, if you're interested!

Does anyone know a workaround for this other than using PNG files instead of SVG?
What am I missing that causes the new icon composer to not properly apply the liquid glass effect to my SVGs? They always seem to have a weird frame around or inside them, even though there's no background.
