Since the introduction of SwiftUI, the MV pattern has been discussed in online forums about SwiftUI architecture. Its proponents sell it as a new pattern that aligns with how SwiftUI is intended to be used, while patterns like MVVM are allegedly at odds with…

Greetings, traveler! Some UI patterns expect a scroll view that never reaches an end. Think of a “featured” carousel on a storefront, a ticker of recent items, a carousel of songs in your player, or a background strip of logos in a landing screen. In these…

Greetings, traveler! Questions around concurrency often drift into terminology. Thread, queue, executor — the words sound related, and many explanations blur the boundaries between them. That usually works until the first real bug appears, and then the model…

There’s a moment every iOS app hits where navigation stops being a UI concern and starts being an architecture problem.

"SwiftUI is accessible by default" is one of the most repeated misconceptions in iOS development. Here’s why that’s wrong and what you actually need to watch out for.

Use the Xcode Build Optimization Agent Skill to analyze and improve your build times, saving hours per month.

In simple setups — a view behind an if condition, a sheet, a fullscreen cover — onAppear works exactly how you’d expect. Show the view, onAppear fires. Remove it, onDisappear fires. State is gone. Clean ... <a title="SwiftUI View Lifecycle: When onAppear…

One thing I only learned after working with Structured Concurrency for years is what “structured” actually refers to. And since that came as a surprise to me, I thought others might find it interesting as well.

My natural thinking was that everything inside…

Whenever you consider creating a scrollable screen in SwiftUI, you might think of using a List. However, it’s not always the best choice. Lists are great for displaying uniform data. For anything else, a ScrollView with a lazy stack is almost always the best…

I was migrating to a newer version of The Composable Architecture, which meant there was a list of deprecations to clean up. One of the things on that list was adding InferSendableFromCaptures as an upcoming Swift feature flag across all our package targets.

Greetings, traveler! SwiftUI gives you .popover, but sometimes it is the unsuitable tool. For instance, design might require a popover with no arrow. In those cases we can reach for matchedGeometryEffect. It lets you “attach” an overlay to a view without…

Greetings, traveler! On iOS interviews, candidates are often asked to reimplement familiar higher-order functions from scratch. These tasks look simple on the surface, yet they quickly reveal how well you understand generics, value semantics, and iteration…
