Overview of Xcode 16.3 release notes highlighting what’s new across the IDE, toolchain, and SDKs for iOS developers. Summarizes updates, fixes, and improvements to help decide when to upgrade. Note: Xcode 16.3 requires macOS 15.2+ to install.
Learn to create a Swift Package that wraps Objective‑C code with Swift Package Manager: organize .m/.h sources, expose public headers via an include/ folder, configure targets/products in Package.swift, and integrate in Xcode. Caveat: no bridging headers—use module-style headers. Ideal for modularizing legacy Obj‑C across apps.
Live coding session building Brew Coffee, a pour‑over iOS app, with SwiftUI. Follow end‑to‑end app construction: creating screens, layout, and interactions while iterating quickly. Focus is on practical SwiftUI workflows in Xcode to prototype and ship a small app.
Introduces Apple’s Swiftly 1.0: a lightweight way to install the latest Swift toolchain without needing Xcode. Explains setting up Swift outside Xcode-centric workflows to run/build Swift from the command line, and when this is useful. Notes tradeoffs versus Xcode’s bundled toolchains and IDE features.
Walkthrough of building complex SwiftUI animations in the Brew Coffee app, revised to handle a variable number of stages. Focuses on structuring animation logic so sequences aren’t limited to a fixed count, leveraging SwiftUI’s animation system. Takeaway: design adaptable, stage-driven animations that scale with dynamic steps.
Reminder: there’s only one day left to apply for an exclusive in‑person Apple Park invite to WWDC25. The video urges developers to submit before the deadline. This is a scheduling/update announcement with no technical or coding content.
Tackles debugging SwiftUI animation glitches and layout jumps. Shows practical steps to reproduce and isolate issues, audit state updates, position animation logic correctly, and stabilize layout transitions—so views animate smoothly without unexpected jumps. Key takeaway: structure state and updates predictably to avoid glitches.
Tutorial on configuring a green screen in Meld Studio using the Chroma Key effect. Focuses on dialing in the key by adjusting Threshold and Tolerance to cleanly remove the green background. Practical, tool-based walkthrough with no coding—suitable for basic compositing setup.
Live hackathon building Brew Coffee, a pour‑over companion iOS app, using SwiftUI and Swift. Shows iterative construction of screens and app logic with SwiftUI views. Practical look at assembling a real app UI and workflow. Takeaway: hands‑on SwiftUI app building.
Intro to SwiftUI layout spacing: use the padding modifier to add inner space (.padding(), per-edge, custom amounts, EdgeInsets) and control gaps via stack spacing (VStack/HStack). Demonstrates how padding works with backgrounds/frames. Takeaway: use padding for internal space, stack spacing for gaps.
A week-long review of using ChatGPT Pro alongside Xcode. Assesses how AI assistance impacts coding speed, boilerplate, and troubleshooting, where it falls short due to inaccuracies, and the level of oversight required. Offers a grounded verdict on whether the hype matches its value for iOS developers.
Demonstrates using the new ChatGPT app integration on macOS with Xcode to directly edit and iterate on code. Shows how prompts can modify files to speed up implementation and refactoring. Takeaway: combine ChatGPT with Xcode for faster workflows, but always review AI changes, run builds/tests, and consider privacy/security.
Compares Apple’s new Mac Studio options—M3 Ultra vs M4 Max—to determine which is the better buy. Weighs performance vs price and who each model suits. Takeaway for iOS developers: pick based on build/test workload needs and budget rather than specs alone.
