Added a library with UI elements for iOS 💾 to the resources page

Inside there are iPad examples with new navigation and a new Document-based template. Otherwise everything is familiar

Only for 💎sketch, not for Figma yet

If you have installed the beta 💾 the release Xcode will not work

But there is a trick. In the Terminal, type:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/MacOS/Xcode;

Do not close the Terminal. The icon will be crossed out, but everything works

The strangest innovation is Tinting Icons

For dark theme you give a colored icon, and the background will be system. For a tinted theme you give a B&W icon. You can play with transparency of elements

🖼 In Xcode Beta you can already add icons, but for now it always shows the default one

💳 More ready-made paywalls — SubscriptionStoreView has a new modifier with styles

Note, in the screenshot there are two subscription groups in the segment. This is also new features ready to use

💳 StoreKit deprecated

✅ Don't worry - the apps will still work. Just without the new features (win-back offers, more about it later)

🎛 Live Activity available on the watchOS. If you've worked with LA before, nothing has changed. If not, there is a tutorial

UI for watch can be done through env check:

@Environment({\.activityFamily) var activityFamily

Enum has two types, .small and .medium. Informatively named 🙆

🥽 Multiview has been added for Vision Pro AVPlayer

Ready-to use via AVPlayerViewController, just a couple of lines of code

💾 Played with the new navigation on iPad

Sidebar is now a variant of the TabView display. Used to call the .tabItem modifier, but now it's like this:

Tab("Item", systemImage: "play") {
   // Content
}

The customization ready to use and is saved in App Storage. The code is universal - for iPhone and Vision Pro it will show tab-bar, for Mac side-bar

You can now add your own controls to the control center

🔖 Works via App Intents

Syntax is similar to Intents, but you configure via ControlWidgetConfiguration

👶 SwiftUI animations can now be called in the UIKit. And custom animations too

🤝 Ready-to-use text formatter UI

You can customize which actions take how much space

Presented as a regular controller. Manage via delegates

New frm FinanceKit - you can pull transactions, balances and orders. But only from Apple Apple Card and Cash 🤷‍♂️

🐤 It would be cool to make a global API for finance trackers - a common protocol. Users would be able to migrate between apps, use different clients, etc.

Now that would be a breakthrough

You can apply for the featured directly at 👨‍💻 Connect. Will be added in autumn

Previously, the reviewers themselves decided for which featured and in which region, but now it is specified by the developer himself

Another cool thing is that you will be able to see the status of the application, whether it was approved or not

👨‍💻 Mobile Connect will have animation blanks for your updates

This could already be done on the web, here's a link to the configurator

What's new here is that media is generated in the mobile app and linked to events. We released a new version — here are ready-made sources for Instagram

👨‍💻 Now you need one screenshot pack for iPhone. If you have an iPad, one more for it. Available in the fall

Optionally you can upload all sizes like before

💡 TipKit has introduced sync via CloudKit, it is enough to specify the container ID:

try Tips.configure([
   .cloudKitContainer(
      .named("your-id")
   )
])

More tips can be queued (see screenshot). Works via TipGroup

🐤 Backward compatibility is not available, so although it's convenient - but don't touch

🏓 New framework for visionOS TabletopKit (visionOS 2.0+)

This is a prefab for tabletop games. The surface tracking and game classes are already ready, all you have to do is react to user actions

☑️ Sample project by url

💳 StoreKit has new Win-Back offers. If user cancel subscription — you offer him a discount

🐤 Who is experienced, knows - such systems doing manually. You track event, then send a push or mail. But it is a ready-made system

🏆 Optionally you can show the offer on the app page, in the search and even featured it (if Apple apply it)

Updated document-based apps homepage (see screenshot)

👔 Top header can be customized, but elements will be like on the screen - background, buttons, etc.

👶 If written in SwiftUI, there is no backward compatibility - you need DocumentGroupLaunchScene iOS 18+. If UIKit — you will get new homepage

New modal transition. For SwiftUI & UIKit. iOS 18+ of course

controller.preferredTransition = .zoom { _ in }

🐤 The concept is like Hero (here's url link if you haven't come across it), but Hero works better
