If, like me, you were wondering how to show the slider to control the hinge angle in the iPhone Duo simulator in Xcode 27.1, we need to hold the Option key to reveal it 🙂

My excitement for the Duo and anticipation for what this incredible community is able to do with the hardware have been reinvigorating.

I made a new app (first time in 3 years) and it would REALLY help me if you pre-ordered it (for free). What's My Set is a simple, accessibility set counter for workouts with accessibility as a priority. The handy rest/interval timers bump the set counter for you. apps.apple.com/us/app/whats...

Planning a small talk for the upcoming iOS developer happy hour on the steps I took to get a job as a new iOS developer and how I was able to use that same framework to make an impact as a new dev on an established team. If there’s any questions you’d like me to answer lmk so I can weave it in.

Finally got around to adding a quiz mode to Legal Terms! Still in review but I've wanted to do this for a long time so I'm happy it's done.

Three screenshots of the new quiz mode feature.

I’ve had an unusual lack of clarity about my next goal and what steps I need to take to get there. This is probably going to be fleshed out more as a long-form blog post as I continue to process all my thoughts.

Danielle @daniellelewis.dev · 22/12/2025

I made a companion app for Old School RuneScape 🤓. This was originally just a way for me to track progress through the Optimal Quest Guide but kept growing as I kept finding fun things I could do with it. It got approved today! 🎉

Four screenshots showing different screens of the app: quest details, the grand exchange, a skill calculator, and an AFK timer.

There’s an iOS app waiting for review too. Hopefully I can sneak that in before the end of the year so I can feel like I accomplished something in the second half of the year.

Almost a year to the date of my last *new* app release, SingTheSong is now out on visionOS! I'm still building apps for visionOS because it's FUN. This one listens to the music playing in your environment and displays real-time lyrics. Made this one for my fellow vinyl enthusiasts.

Danielle @daniellelewis.dev · 20/12/2025

My app I submitted last weekend got rejected so I fixed the issues and resubmitted that and another new app i’d been working on. Both are super MVPs but fingers crossed I’ll get to add two more apps to my portfolio this week.

030

Danielle @daniellelewis.dev · 13/12/2025

Putting finishing touches on app 1 of 2 for release 🙌🏾. It’s another visionOS project I made for fun just because. Hoping for a smooth review process so I can move on to iOS project I’m working on.

Teaching myself more about LLM cli tools and trying to learn what in the world MCP is. I feel so far behind when it comes to understanding what’s going on in the world of AI. Forever trying to sip from a firehose.

Danielle @daniellelewis.dev · 05/12/2025

I have two side projects I’ve been working on getting release ready. Needing to take my own advice and remind myself not to wait until they’re perfect, but allow them to exist as MVPs that get improved over time. Also forcing myself to only work on them during weekends. Balance!

Danielle @daniellelewis.dev · 19/11/2025

All four app updates got approved. Cannoisseur, Legal Terms, ShinyDex all got (very late) Liquid Glass updates. Vinyl Vision got a bug fix. Next, I’m going to try adding some simple App Intents into Legal Terms. It also needs a lot of accessibility work.

020

Danielle @daniellelewis.dev · 17/11/2025

My biggest focuses these past few quiet months have been figuring out to be useful at my job, and learning all I can about optimizing SwiftUI code for accessibility tools. For those of you who have been doing this work for a while, how do you feel about the IAAP certs?

030

Danielle @daniellelewis.dev · 17/11/2025

Pushed out some long overdue updates for four apps this weekend and it felt *great*. Believe all the things they say about rest! Everything is still in review but hopefully these approvals are smooth.

Danielle @daniellelewis.dev · 11/11/2025

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.

Danielle @daniellelewis.dev · 11/11/2025

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!

Danielle @daniellelewis.dev · 15/06/2025

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!

2260

Danielle @daniellelewis.dev · 15/06/2025

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.

070

Danielle @daniellelewis.dev · 13/06/2025

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: superwall.com/blog/an-int...

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??

The answer is yes, it’s possible. Figuring out the how is going to be my project this weekend.

150

Danielle @daniellelewis.dev · 13/05/2025

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?

010

Danielle @daniellelewis.dev · 13/05/2025

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

I’m gonna have to talk about 2022 next time I sit in the lady’s chair.

A photo showing that Max Strus was NOT out of bounds in the 2022 Eastern Conference Finals, despite what the refs claimed five minutes after he made the shot…. CONSPIRACY

Jimmy Butler raising for the shot that would have surely sent the Miami Heat to the 2022 NBA finals…. but he missed it and I haven’t been the same since.

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.

Danielle @daniellelewis.dev · 10/05/2025

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!

Danielle @daniellelewis.dev · 10/05/2025

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.

1100

Danielle @daniellelewis.dev · 10/05/2025

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.
