If you can’t be at #WWDC25 in person, I can think of no better way to be watching it.

Hope this has changed since I last checked, but I thought it was ridiculous that neither Xcode nor Android Studio supported input/output formatters, which display and allow editing source files in the dev’s preferred style, but saves them back out again in the team’s standard style.

I am loathe to tell other developers how to write their code.

But when I hand over a nice, “clean” project for a brand new app that I developed, and the first commits from the team are full of “magic numbers”, there’s going to have to be some law handed down.

Was able to avoid having to do the app rewrite at work using cross-platform.

But still got stuck with having to do large parts of it as hybrid.

Still, that’s way better than having to work with React Native or Flutter.

Really appreciate working for a company with a long, proud history of building roll your own systems.

Fits in perfectly with my own ideology.

But now some of our homegrown solutions don’t scale well for some use cases or don’t integrate with external systems we’re starting to engage with.

I’m having to build a case to defend native mobile development versus hybrid or cross platform development at work.

Anybody got good, recent data to support the argument? Statistics on user preferences for native apps, user abandonment of hybrid, performance differences of cross platform?

Just wrote an enterprise iPadOS app for the company.

Didn’t use async/await, property wrappers or any of the other latest and debatably greatest Swift language features.

Except for the fact that it uses modern SwiftUI, a dev who last wrote iOS code 5 years ago could jump in and…

I love getting exposed to existing iOS projects and reading articles and posts from devs, to see how other devs solve various problems and design / implement their apps.

I hate reading comments with devs telling other devs something is THE right way to do it or that they’re doing it wrong.
