This weekend I hope to get as many of my (extremely late) iOS 26 updates out as I can. Thankfully a lot of the work was already done, I just never sent them out for review.

I took a very extended social media break and now I’m trying to be back. We’ll see how this goes.

Next, I have an idea for integrating Foundation Model into one of my projects. I haven't looked at the API yet so I don't know if I'll be able to pull it off, but I'm definitely gonna try!

Spent today playing around with liquid glass. Spent a lot of time tweaking colors, animations, spacing, and playing with the new glass effects. Also finally got that image scaling to work!

I finally got this working today. The answer seems obvious now but I had to limit how much the image could scale so that it didn't grow larger than its container.
Supposed to be working on deep links but I've spent two hours trying to get the image to stretch when the user scrolls down. I'm close but now it stutters inside of the ScrollView. I'll get there at some point but for now I'm gonna go back to trying to figure out deep links. That's more important.

The developer sessions have been making me want to build a new app to play with all these new APIs. So many fun new toys. New WebKit might be the thing that finally gets me to learn a little JavaScript.

The new Foundation Model framework is my sleeper hit of dub dub.
Offline. Capable. Perfect API design. Instructions, tool calling and more!
I wrote up an intro over it, this thing is gonna be fun to play with:

Did I imagine Apple saying devs have a year to update to using Liquid Glass? I feel like I heard that and nobody else did. Am I going crazy??

📣 It's official....
I'm taking the stage with Zach Brass at @swiftconnection.bsky.social in October!
Swift Connection has been on my list to attend for years and I'm pretty excited I can make it this year _and_ give a talk with Zach 😁
This will be a one of a kind talk... don't miss it 👀

The answer is yes, it’s possible. Figuring out the how is going to be my project this weekend.
I also want to figure out if it’s possible to accept arguments directly in phrases. Like instead of “Log a Pokémon as caught in ShinyDex” and then having to prompt for the name or ID, can we can use “Log a Charizard as caught in ShinyDex” and skip the extra step?

How do you all go about informing users of all of the phrases they can use with App Intents?

The App Intents update to ShinyDex just got approved. For this update I also worked with a local designer to get a new icon made for it!

Shortcuts and Siri integration has been shipped and is waiting for approval from the App Store review team. I was sitting on this one for a while. There's some more shortcuts I wanted to add but I felt like the ones I had working were good enough to release.

I had to completely rebuild CodeDump but the new version is up in the store and ready to go. I fixed some bugs I found in the previous version and added some much needed functionality like being able to select all files in a directory in the tree view with one click!

I need to figure out the deep linking thing for my shortcuts. I’ve tried it with other apps in the past and never got it to work correctly, but today that’s my focus.

About to ship my first AppIntents/Shortcuts. Might be cool might be a disaster 👀
Once I can get CodeDump approved, I'm pretty determined to get my AppIntents/Shortcuts update out for ShinyDex. It's almost done, just needs a little polish.
