Watch debugging is rock-solid in Xcode 15. I've yet to have to do the reboot dance to get a debug session going. Thank you to whoever improved that.

we should treat adults learning new skills like we treat kids: with endless patience, not expecting miracles from day one, praising the little steps rather than shaming them for it

I'm busy watching back to back WWDC videos, and needed to pause for a moment to say how freaking awesome the new MapKit/SwiftUI integration is – everything I wanted and more! FB7857481 ✅ This plus the new StoreKit work shows how much of an impact SwiftUI is having across Apple.

If all announced clean energy manufacturing projects are realised, solar & battery manufacturing already meet the needs for 2030 to stay on track for net zero. Wind, heat pumps & electrolysers are not yet on track but are expanding rapidly.

We should do this in Canada too: https://cleantechnica.com/2023/02/09/new-law-50-solar-power-over-parking-lots-in-france/

France ... requires that that large parking lots have at least 50% of their lot covered in solar canopies.

As someone who maintained the venerable genstrings utility for a number of years…

String Catalogs look amazing!

Congratulations to everyone who worked on this!

What a major enhancement to the localization workflow in Xcode—for projects *and* Swift Packages! Thank you!

So many Americans are like, "I don't want the superwealthy to pay more taxes because I might win the lottery some day."

Juneteenth (June 19th) is not a "holiday celebrating when news of the end of slavery finally reached Texas." No. Just no. Y'all make it sound like network latency! Like we were playing Fortnite, and all the Black players were lagging.🤡

Juneteenth is when the racist state of Texas took another very public L. Texas did everything it could to keep slavery going as long as possible. They gave up land to Oklahoma, so they could be below the slavery line. The Alamo was a victory for abolitionists.

The Senate, on a 50-49 vote, confirms #ACLU lawyer Nusrat Choudhury to the US District Court for the Eastern District of #NewYork, making her the first Bangladeshi-American and female Muslim federal judge in the country.

How do teens find summer jobs these days? I assume there must be an app of some kind? what's the deal

Now, almost all of Airbnb’s new screens and components in our latest launch were built using SwiftUI, and the vast majority of engineers said that SwiftUI made them more efficient without regressing the user-facing quality of their screens.

There will be a blog post published soon with many more details, but suffice to say that SwiftUI is definitely ready for broad adoption, and if adopted intentionally can improve the experience of building even the largest scale iOS apps!

Okay, Mastodon friends, I rarely ask for amplification about my day job, but I personally pushed for my employer to make a big investment in enabling the fediverse, and I'd love for everyone to show that the support is appreciated. On June 28, you can join us for a (FREE!) hands-on conversation about how the Fastly team worked to support @Mastodon while the service was under a *massive* DDOS attack. Everyone who cares about scaling the fediverse should join: https://learn.fastly.com/security-mitigating-ddos-and-traffic-surges-with-mastodon @devs

The new CoreDevice stack talks directly to your watch, so app installs finish in seconds and debugging sessions work reliably. (Yes, full debugging sessions! Breakpoints and logging!) I‘ve done dozens of deployments and each one has worked perfectly. No more restarts!
