I find it ridiculous that software devs — who generally get paid significantly more than folks in most other industries — complain about very good dev tools being “too expensive” at $99/yr. 😒

If you breakdown the average salary into an hourly rate, that’s literally one hour (or less!) of work. In some cases, maybe 2.

Even if you buy 10 of these apps, spending $1K/year, that’s only a few days worth of work to pay for all of your essential, well-built, indie software. 🙄

It appears that the Xcode file menu option “Resolve Package Versions” is not the same as "xcodebuild -resolvePackageDependencies”.

I need to be able to “Resolve Package Versions” for all targets in a project via the command line.

Is this even possible? Does anyone know how to do this?

Do you have to invoke xcodebuild -resolvePackageDependencies for every single scheme/target?

I guess no one who works at Apple has ever used git branches with Xcode and SwiftPM.

This 4 year old bug is still not fixed.

Here’s my workaround for a non-sendable closures.

Is this a good idea, or a great idea?

@mattiem Hey is “StrictConcurrency” a real experimental flag?

https://github.com/mattmassicotte/PackageTemplate/blob/main/Package.swift#L30

I don't see that documented anywhere and I am incredibly annoyed at how broken Apple's shitty tools are.

Social media companies are usually positioned as the arbiters of “free speech” online.

However, my thinking has always been that they are private corporations that can do whatever they want. They can ban users based on any criteria they want and “curate” their platforms however they please. They are beholden to no governments, outside of their obligations to local laws and taxes.

Anyone, literally anyone, can make a website (for free!) and do as much “free speech” online as they want.

Swift concurrency hack for passing non-sendable closures: Uncheck yourself before you wreck yourself

Is it possible to set xcodebuild settings inside a Package.swift somehow?

This builds my package successfully:

xcodebuild build -scheme MyScheme SWIFT_STRICT_CONCURRENCY=complete

But if I open Package.swift in Xcode, it fails to build because “complete" is not the default.

(This is because MainActor.assumeIsolated was introduced in iOS 17, but backported to iOS 13)

You would think that Apple would link to the homepage or GitHub for all the specific SDKs the listed here... but of course they don’t. Because if you're a third-party developer, then fuck you.

Is there a documented list of all Swift compiler “upcoming” and “experimental” features?

I checked Swift.org and couldn’t find anything. Also, that website has so search functionality — great design.
