Building apps & SDKs for the stack, using Swift & SwiftUI.
I have tried to generate an XCFramework from a Swift package without using an Xcode project in so many ways...but it just doesn't work. It's so strange, given that the project generation command was removed from the CLI. Has anyone made it work?

Interesting! When moving my closed-source SDK's binary build process to GitHub Actions, the pre-validation started failing for some Swift Testing tests, even though the same tests worked locally. The solution in my case was to refactor the test structs to final classes. No other changes were needed.

When I started working on KeyboardKit 10 years ago, I was mainly intrigued by the technical challenge of mimicking the native iOS keyboard, and have since then had the luxury of being able to dig deep in this field.

I’ve worked on a GitHub Actions workflow to build my closed source SdK binaries for me, but it failed due to iOS runtime not being installed. After failing to fix it with the latest stable Xcode version, I realized that all my previously working OSS workflows have also stopped working 😅

I have procrastinated building this feature since 2019! 😬 I don't know why, but I just kept pushing it ahead. I guess it involved too many unknowns, but when I finally decided to give it a go, it only took a few hours.
Swipe down actions are coming to the iPad keyboard in the upcoming KeyboardKit 10.1 release. This will make the typing on iPad match the native behavior even more.

Wait, did I accidentally build a dependency-less Swift & bash combo (2 scripts) which generates Markdown files for a package's public module interfaces that is my personal idea of what's useful to both humans and LLMs and isn't goddamn DocC‽
