Anyone else experiencing crashes on iOS 27 beta when instantiating CABTMIDICentralViewController in SwiftUI with a UIViewRepresentable? In the end, I gave up and let Claude Agent roll our own solution. It works on 26 and 27 and is pretty solid. #CoreMIDI #iOSDev

Let's GO MIDI 1.2 has launched in the App Store! The key feature for this release is InstaTone! ✨ Let's GO MIDI randomly selects from over 1200 tones on your Roland GO:KEYS 3/5 and automatically sends the patch change. It makes sound discovery fun! 🤩 #Roland #GoKeys

I just found out I got another subscriber for Let's GO MIDI (for #Roland #GoKeys keyboards), which doesn't sound like much, but I'm very grateful to those who are finding it useful enough to subscribe. ❤️ I use it too—and it's a super fun tool for live keyboard work with my GO:KEYS 3. 🎹

I was saddened to hear earlier today that Steve Lipton @stevenlipton.bsky.social lost his fight with cancer last Thursday. 😞 He was one of the original members of Swift Remote Studio, and was always a positive force in the community. 1/2

Apple Raises Prices Across Most of Its Product Lines
Apple raised the prices of Macs and other products across the board today. For entry-level Macs, the increases are mostly $100–$200. However, if you want a MacBook Pro or Mac Studio with lots of memory and storage, it's going to cost you dearly. Prices were also raised on the iPad, Vision Pro, Apple TV, HomePods,

Let's Go MIDI passed review today and officially launched! 🎉 🎹 It's a Tone/Patch librarian for the Roland GO:KEYS 3 & 5 keyboards, and hopefully this will help make organizing patches (especially for live play) fun again! 😄 #Roland #GoKeys apps.apple.com/us/app/lets-...

Hey! Let's Go MIDI is finally in review! 🎉 That said, I expect it to be rejected on the first time around, and that's OK. I’m ready for it, because the app has constraints with a hardware dependency. So we'll see. I'm cautiously optimistic. 😊 #iOSDev #AppStoreConnect #LetsGoMIDI #Roland #GoKeys

I’m attempting to set up Gemini in Xcode 26.6 RC but since this is a corporate setup I have a Google Cloud Project ID, not an API key. So it seems like the configuration file route is the right path? #WWDC26 #WWDC #CodingIntelligence #Xcode27 #Xcode

It would be really helpful it if #Xcode could help you write and evaluate JavaScript in a multiline string in Swift (for use with a #WKWebView), maybe even with syntax highlighting. I'm surprised this wasn't a thing a long time ago.
