This is a fun lil Liquid Glass animation quirk on iOS 26. It looks like the labels on each tab are all out of wack. The text changes, and labels animation from left-to-right in an odd way!

Claude can then go consult these docs as I work, rather than only having these docs constrained to the IDE chat in Xcode. Pretty handy!

Even custom navbar/toolbar buttons and their transitions are so fun too, like this one for our History filter toolbar item.

Particle's Liquid Glass update is now out! I had a lot of fun adapting what's already a beautiful app to Apple's new design. So many of our components were natural fits for glass containers, like adopting `tabViewBottomAccessory` for our podcast playback

Sabrina Carpenter is the definition of horny on main, and "Man's Best Friend" truly slaps. Incredibly enjoyable album.

This whole situation is… rough. I feel like iOS is gonna have some jank and warts like this for a while, post-Liquid Glass.

Dang! I didn't see this happen during WWDC. I loved the Text concatenation API from a styling perspective. I get the argument about localization, but would love to keep it around for literal text strings.

Still haven't gotten the hang of Xcode 26's new tab system. My tab bar looks like this far too often.

`ApprovedIntegrationModelPairings.plist` references different OpenAI models, including what looks like a custom Apple-specific model ID of `com.apple.openai.chatgpt`.

The new Raycast for iOS app looks pretty, but unfortunately, I use zero of these things on Raycast for macOS and I don't intend on using them on iOS either.

Is there a way to invoke a test for a _specific argument_ with Swift Testing via `swift test`? Xcode exposes this within the UI, but reading through the source code for swift-testing, I still don't see any ways to invoke a test for a specific argument via the CLI.

Has anyone been running into an issue with TestFlight where internal builds are “expired” and other weird issues related to provisioning profiles? It seems to mainly affect internal builds and not external ones, but it’s really annoying that it’s so intermittent!
