Implementing advanced speech-to-text in your SwiftUI app

Learn how to integrate real-time voice transcription into your application using SpeechAnalyzer.

You can download the complete project here (zip file)

Code along with the Foundation Models framework

A new code-along session from Apple shows how to use the Foundation Models framework to add on-device LLM features to a SwiftUI app - text generation, structured output with @ Generable, streaming, tool calling, and performance tweaks.

It also notes the setup (Apple silicon Mac with macOS Tahoe 26 and Xcode 26) and provides starter files plus a step-by-step guide.

SwiftUI Tip

In iOS 18+, you can use the sectionActions() modifier to add actions to any list section.

Swift Configuration 0.1.0 release announcement

Swift Configuration is a library to unify reading config from env vars, CLI args, JSON/YAML, and custom providers with clear precedence.

The Cupertino Ghost in the Machine: An Analysis of Xcode's New AI Assistant

The article analyzes Xcode 26’s new AI assistant, showing a planner-executor design, strict “Apple-first” prompts, sandboxed tools, and IDE context injection that make it persistently push Swift Testing and Swift Concurrency.

It says the system is tightly controlled yet tweakable via external prompt templates and runtime tool providers, compares it with Cursor/Claude, and raises questions about extensibility, enterprise privacy (e.g., Ollama), and Apple’s strategy.

XCSSET evolves again: Analyzing the latest updates to XCSSET’s inventory

Microsoft Threat Intelligence reports another XCSSET macOS variant that infects Xcode projects.

It adds crypto wallet clipboard hijacking, Firefox data theft via a modified HackBrowserData binary, and LaunchDaemon-based persistence with stronger obfuscation, alongside updates to the boot chain and modules.

The article provides IOCs, hunting queries, Defender detections, and mitigation guidance.

From Massive SwiftUI Views to Reusable Components: The Root MVVM Approach to Modular Interfaces

The article explains that “massive” SwiftUI views cause testing, preview, and maintenance pain, and suggests a Root MVVM split into root views and content views.

Content views stay UI-only with primitive inputs and bindings/closures, while root views handle models, networking, and navigation.

The author shows how this separation boosts reuse, clarity, and instant Xcode previews.

SwiftUI Tip

In iOS 16+, use toolbarTitleMenu() to present a menu when users tap the navigation title.

Uncertain⟨T⟩

The article promotes encoding uncertainty in code with Uncertain<T>, a probabilistic type adapted to Swift from a 2014 paper.

It shows comparisons returning Uncertain<Bool> and uses Monte Carlo and SPRT sampling across common distributions to make GPS/sensor logic realistic.

It recommends incremental adoption and tuning sample counts to balance accuracy and performance.

How to use the @available attribute in Swift

Learn to make Swift code only available for certain language versions or platforms

A concise guide to Swift’s @available: what it is, how to declare platform/Swift-version availability, and how to use if #available at runtime.

It explains arguments like unavailable, introduced, deprecated, obsoleted, message, renamed, and shows the shorthand syntax.

Two bite-size guides to Clean Architecture and testing on iOS/macOS:

Part 1
iOS & macOS Clean Architecture: From Chaos to Clarity

The article explains moving from ad-hoc MVC to MVVM combined with Clean Architecture, defining four layers and their responsibilities.

The author frames four clear layers - Presentation, Domain, Data, and Application - and shows them in action with a tiny PhotoEditor app where use cases do the work and the UI just reflects state.

The payoff: fewer regressions, easier testing, faster iteration.


Part 2
iOS & macOS Clean Architecture. Unit Testing

The article continues Part 1, framing unit tests as insurance that should target core business logic rather than UI.

It outlines FIRST principles, a pragmatic testing order (UseCases → Data → ViewModels → integration → E2E), and urges writing fast, isolated, reliable tests that support development instead of chasing coverage.

The promise is stability without ceremony: fewer regressions and saner refactors.

New in SwiftUI

In iOS 26, we can finally make buttons expand to fill the available width of their container using buttonSizing().

Logging Privacy Shenanigans

This article explains why macOS unified logging redacts runtime values as <private> and why sudo can’t recover them (redaction happens at write time).

It shows a practical fix - drop a plist with Enable-Private-Data=true into /Library/Preferences/Logging/Subsystems/ (or use a configuration profile) and, for production, explicitly mark safe fields with privacy: .public.

How to write a good design document

This short article explains what a design document is and how to make it persuasive: organize ideas so every sentence flows, model the reader’s mind, and preempt objections like a mathematical proof.

It stresses ruthless editing, lots of practice (AWS-style culture), and tips such as one idea per short paragraph, appendices for details, and a worked edit example.

The summary:
- Define the system, constraints, and trade-offs; aim to prove the design is optimal for the situation.
- Organize like clean code: one idea per paragraph, smooth logical flow, no “spaghetti prose.”
- Write for the reader’s starting mindset; anticipate and preempt objections.
- Edit hard: remove every unnecessary word—first drafts can usually shrink ~30%.
- Offload details to an appendix (e.g., simulations, long calcs).
- Practice a lot; feedback culture (Amazon-style 1–6 page docs) accelerates skill.
