Playing around with liquid glass on custom shapes. This is regular glass with a 10% pink tint. You need a background for the glass effect to work. The highlight effect seems to be using a Capsule shape and not the provided shape so it looks a bit weird. #SwiftUI #iOSDev #WWDC #WWDC25

As the designer/developer of the Old English Wordhord, I often ask myself "What would medieval England do?" Stained liquid glass. #iOSDev #WWDC #WWDC25

Oops, I forgot to include the image caption. If you look in the Old English Wordhord app all images should have links back to their original source as well.

If you’re looking for more strange animal illustrations it might be worth checking out medieval manuscripts.

I launched Wordhord v2.0 today and noticed this review while I was in App Store Connect. If you want an app to cheer you up, check it out (it's free). Learn an Old English word every day in an app with a unique medieval style. apps.apple.com/ca/app/old-e... #iOSDev #OldEnglish #MedievalSky

5 stars. Great Whenever I get sad about the world I remember the lengths nerd will go to to educate people about interesting stuff. 10/10. April 18, 2025. Review_Lord_69

Sometimes a silly idea pops into my head and I just have to build it. Add a 👻 scare sheet into your app: gist.github.com/ryanlintott/... #SwiftUI #iOSDev

It’s a Transition animation. Not sure how you would do it in UIKit but here’s the SwiftUI code.

var transition: AnyTransition {
if reducedMotion {
.opacity
} else {
.asymmetric(insertion: .move(edge: .trailing), removal: .move(edge: .leading))
.combined(with: .opacity)
.combined(with: .scale(scale: 0.5, anchor: .bottom))
}
}

Time to see if this SF Symbol trick will work... #iOSDev #IndieDev #BuildInPublic

SF Symbol export dialog showing a bow and arrow pointing upward symbol. The ultralight version has the bow drawn with an arrow in it and as the weight move to regular and black the bow releases the arrow moves up and away.

Genmoji is the gift that keeps on giving.

New Genmoji beta with a live brown bird standing on a plate of potatoes, the same brown bird standing on a red plate with a red wrapped present behind, and the same bird again with a Santa hat, behind a plate of cookies with a mountain scene with a sunset behind.

You’re right, the first one was a roast turkey however the next one was this.

A table setting with a fork, a spoon, and a small pumpkin on top two identical stacked plates.

I keep trying these softball prompts but Genmoji continues to fail.

New Genmoji beta showing 3 options: a plate of asparagus and tomatoes, and plate of pork and hummus and a plate of fish with lemon slices. The prompt says “Turkey Dinner”

Swift concurrency error in XCode 16.2 beta 3. The onPreferenceChange closure is now Sendable which means (unless I'm missing something) we can no longer modify main actor properties. I hope this closure can instead use @.MainActor because otherwise this is going to cause some big problems. #SwiftUI

SwiftUI onPreferenceChange view modifier that modifies a width property with warnings that read “Main actor-isolated property ‘width’ can not be reference from a Sendable closure”
