Enhancements to help you submit and market your apps and games

Apple announces App Store changes: submit extra items during review, create up to 70 custom product pages with keywords, and use offer codes for all IAP types.

- App Review: submit extra items independently (In-App Events, urgent bug fix version, Game Center features) even while a version is under review.

- Custom Product Pages: limit doubled to 70; add keywords so specific pages can appear in search instead of the default page.

- Offer codes: now supported for all IAP types (consumable, non-consumable, non-renewing, plus expanded auto-renewable options, including non-auto-renew after promo).

- Contracts: Schedule 1 and Paid Applications Agreement (Schedules 2 & 3) will be updated to reflect offer codes for all IAP types.

- Promo codes for IAP: creation ends March 26, 2026 (existing codes redeemable until expiry); app download promo codes remain.

Introducing Aardvark: OpenAI’s agentic security researcher

OpenAI introduced Aardvark, a GPT-5–powered autonomous security researcher now in private beta with select partners.
The agent continuously analyzes code repositories to identify, validate, and help fix vulnerabilities using LLM-based reasoning and Codex-generated patches.

In tests, Aardvark detected 92% of known vulnerabilities and has already uncovered real issues across OpenAI’s and partners’ codebases.

It also discovered several open-source bugs that received CVE identifiers, with plans for pro-bono scanning to support non-commercial projects.

App Store Price Update: Poland, Switzerland, Türkiye

Starting Nov 17, prices for apps and one-time IAPs will auto-update in Poland, Switzerland, and Türkiye unless that storefront is your base.

Auto-renewable subscriptions and manually priced storefronts aren’t affected.

App Store Connect already shows the changes and lets you adjust your base storefront or prices.

Roadmap for improving the type checker

Swift’s constraint-based expression type checker can hit exponential complexity.
This post explains why, what 6.2 and main (toward 6.3) changed to make it faster and more predictable, and what’s next - smarter disjunction selection and memory use, improved bindings and diagnostics, pruning operator overloads, and SAT-style techniques to reduce hitting solver limits and improve errors.

What’s shipped & in progress:
- Swift 6.2: Profiling + optimizations to backtracking and graph algorithms → the same search work, done faster.
- Main (toward 6.3): New disjunction-selection strategy that solves many previously “hard” expressions quickly (notably with operators and literals).
- Memory usage: Arena optimization for generic overloads (disabled by default; enable with -solver-enable-prepared-overloads) to curb exponential space blowups.
- Perf tests: More real-world “slow” cases + scale tests to catch regressions.

What’s next (near-term):
- Bindings overhaul: Faster selection of concrete types, earlier contradictions; big wins for large array/dictionary literals.
- Fewer brittle hacks: Remove special-cases (collection subscripts, “two generic overloads”, common-return shortcuts, operator partitions).
- Cheaper partial solutions: Lower overhead when merging independently solved components.
- Better salvage mode: Fewer “failed to produce” messages; avoid cases where salvage succeeds when normal checking fails - emit a fallback diagnostic instead.

Longer-term ideas:
- Prune operator overloads: Hide protocol-witness overloads (e.g., Equatable.==) and adjust ranking to shrink search space (may be slightly source-breaking in edge cases).
- Tighten polymorphic literals: Reduce Int/Double ambiguity for integer literals (e.g., require a decimal point for floats).
- SAT-style solving: Non-chronological backtracking and clause learning to avoid re-exploring dead ends.

Why 90% of SwiftUI Apps Get Dependency Injection Wrong

This article explains how to do dependency injection in SwiftUI - constructor injection, custom Environment values, and Environment objects - and when to use each.

It argues that most SwiftUI apps mishandle dependency injection and then shows how to do it right.

It walks through three complementary tactics:
- passing dependencies explicitly via initializers for clarity and easy testing,
- using custom Environment values for stateless services you want available across many views,
- and relying on Environment objects (stores) when you need shared, observable state.

The guidance is to inject broad services once at the app’s root, let container screens talk to those services or stores, and pass plain data down to child views. Used thoughtfully, this mix keeps code modular, testable, and scalable as the app grows.

SwiftUI Tip

Label closures can include multiple views - like a title, subtitle, and details.

SwiftUI automatically styles them for you.

How Duolingo used macros to promote mvvm architecture adoption

The post shows how an iOS team used Swift Macros to strip MVVM boilerplate - starting with DataSources - standardize code, and boost velocity.

It also describes a prebuilt-binary setup (load-plugin-executable) to avoid rebuilds and reports ~4.3k lines of generated code with fewer bugs.

Net effect: less code to write and review, faster iteration, and a cleaner path to refactors across the MVVM stack.

In iOS 17.0+, you can use .sensoryFeedback() to trigger haptic feedback directly in SwiftUI.

Big O notation

This post explains Big O - O(1), O(log n), O(n), O(n²) - with clear examples (sum, bubble sort, binary search) and visual demos of runtime growth.

It offers practical tips (use Sets/Maps, prefer index-based loops, caching), reminds you to benchmark, and focuses on algorithmic complexity - how an algorithm’s running time grows as input size increases.

Though the code is in JavaScript, the ideas apply to any language.

SwiftUI Tip

If a view doesn’t respond to taps as expected, use contentShape() to define its interactive area.
