Yes, they compose into the underlying hosting views and layers. But layout and animation happens entirely in-process on an internal clock (that does not even support frame rates higher than 60fps) before being sent to the Core Animation render server.

In the sense that it’s what actually does rendering on the GPU, sure. But not as backing for views and animations.

I’ll try to make it!

Hmm, can’t decide if the fact they already have camera APIs for enterprise makes it more likely they open them up... or less 🙃

Generally all the points of integration with the OS. There is like a dozen of features NSUserActivity is used for. UIActivity, UIApplicationShortcutAction, the remaining INIntents, and so on.

The fact that UIKit is backed by Core Animation is super under appreciated. There was so much care put into making sure UI runs smoothly even when your process is under heavy load -- entirely missing in SwiftUI.

No new warnings, btw

The only other similar product I know is Sharp ePoster, but they're BtB and cost ~$3000

(The screenshot uses the debug environment variable to downgrade the crash to a runtime warning: SWIFT_IS_CURRENT_EXECUTOR_LEGACY_MODE_OVERRIDE=nocrash)

Apple granted the CarPlay audio entitlement. Seems like there is no gotchas, just need to apply and wait for a few weeks.

It's a whopping 62 hours 😲
Even after shortening silences (-15%) and at 1.5×, it's still 36 hours of playback — not a single weekend commitment.

Thinking in SwiftUI was the single best thing I’ve read that explains how SwiftUI works instead of just introducing all the views and modifiers.

Transition animations this time, specifically between VCs that show a toolbar and don't.
