I wrote a blog post about how frustrating it can be to be a fan of Apple products when you're not a fan of analog clocks.

Oh wow, @PleaseDontRain was nominated for a Golden Apple award by @AppleVis !!! 😱

A year ago I was telling @christianselig that he was nominated. At that point I had only been working on my app for about two weeks. I never even imagined I would be a nominee a year later.

I've spent so much time on my accessibility support and this means so much to me!

Voting is for blind or low vision users, please.

superstar @klemensstrasser is nominated again also.

It always feels strange being a person who loves video games, but hates boss fights. I have been absolutely loving Tears of the Kingdom and have sunk a ridiculous amount of hours into it.

This final boss fight is miserable.

I didn’t finish breath of the wild. Why is this Zelda OLED Switch tempting me? Someone please talk me out of it.

Is there a way that I could have made the text in these Labels line up without specifying a width with .frame?

I tip my hat to @JustMeDevin for this hilarious result when i tried to trick his app @crouton into thinking I met him at WWDC to unlock a prize. My jaw dropped. 🤣

I just activated my three month free subscription for Apple TV. What are some sci-fi or fantasy shows you would recommend focusing on after I watch the Godzilla one? I have seen season one of Severance.

Time for the yearly "Why does my image widget not work anymore?" Have y'all found a way around this? I tried changing my code to show image thumbnails instead of the full image but no luck.

I'm struggling trying to convert my NavigationStack into one that has a path. When I tap on my Picker that has a style of .navigationLink the app locks up.

I tried making a test project to recreate but it works fine.

Is there something in particular I should be doing for a style of .navigationLink? The default style of menu works.

edit: Filed FB12615246. The screenshot below is using ".id" instead of the correct ".tag".

My SwiftUI previews for Please Don’t Rain stopped working and I couldn’t figure out why. I finally filed a TSI asking for help.

I have my answer.

They broke because I have an apostrophe in my app name. 😭

In order to get them working again now they are suggesting I do a “pretty thorough rename” throughout the app. My concern about breaking something else (and the time it would take to fix) is greatly overwhelming my desire to use previews that haven’t worked for months.

It used to be SO EASY to find people that had just landed their first iOS job. We've had so many great speakers at iOS Dev Happy Hour because of that.

It is now SO HARD to find them. If you know of any please give me a heads up and I'll reach out to them to see if they're interested in sharing their stories.

I really don't know how I managed before I could easily modify SwiftUI Text width.

I wanted to get this table looking nice on an iPhone SE with a dynamicTypeSize up to xxxLarge. After some tweaks I still wasn't there.

Then I remembered, what if I made the width condensed instead of standard?

I've gotten into trouble in the past because I didn't realize that making an opacity of zero to hide something didn't hide it from VoiceOver, which would still detect it. Jordi saw me mention that and even made it one of the "gotchas" for the Accessibility part of the SwiftUI Series he did.

I just realized that's not the case any more. VoiceOver is ignoring the element when its opacity is zero without me having to do anything else.

I love all the goofy images I’ve been able to add to my little weather app, but the size was starting to get out of control. I got the idea on Friday to try converting the images from PNG to JPEG to see what the difference would be.

So far in my testing I’ve been able to go from an app size of 141 MB to 48 MB. 🤯

For my use case I can’t tell a difference in image quality either.

I am so excited that I can officially announce that @iosdevhappyhour is BACK for another IRL event at WWDC.

I'm having the hardest time getting VoiceOver in a SwiftUI Grid to combine everything in a row. The only way I've figured out how to do it is to wrap the GridRow in an HStack, which seems clunky. Is there another way I could have done this?

After taking approximately 852 hours to complete Tears of the Kingdom I've been veering towards smaller games I've got in my queue.

I finished Cocoon (fantastic) and Limbo (very good).

I'm giving Firewatch a go now.

I can’t figure out how to get rid of a tiny line that appears between my nav bar and content.

My app targets iOS 16 and iPhone, but if I run it on my iPad at 2X you can see the line on the left and right also. But when running at 1x or on the iPhone itself, you can’t. You just see the one on the top.

I’m forcing the backgrounds to be black while in light mode to make it more apparent. If I switch to dark mode the line at the top is still present, but harder to see.

I am actually toying with the idea of finishing all of the shrines before finishing the main quest of Tears of the Kingdom. As someone who didn’t even come close to finishing Breath of the Wild this is an unexpected development.

Somebody talk me out of this.

The new shortcut has survived the combination of iPhone SE, German, and the largest accessibility font. Ship it!

I have a SubView that shows a Swift Chart. The data passed to the chart is a let constant. In the onAppear for the chart I calculate some PointMarks to show.

Hours later when the chart's data changes the chart DOES update but the PointMarks do NOT.

What would be the best way to address this?

@NeoNacho if I was mean I would ask you to compare your peoplemover to ours.

Ben Harraway is running the coolest (free) promo. Send him a 500x77 banner for your app and he'll make it a court side advertisement in his upcoming basketball game Hoops.

I'm experimenting with adding arrow buttons to more easily change the tracked day to take a peek at weather on nearby days.

Which version do you prefer?

Why can't we add an image to a poll? 😭
