versioned documentation for the Swift community. There are full details in the launch blog post, but the cliff notes¹ are that if package authors opt in, we’ll permanently host DocC-generated documentation for every released package version.
It would not have been possible without the previous 499 releases.
¹ Yes, this pun is very much intended! 😂

The last time I linked to Indie Dev Monday, it had only been running for a few months, and now it’s celebrating a second birthday! Josh Holtz does a fantastic job of highlighting developers from around the community. I was even lucky enough to be a part of it a few weeks ago. The anniversary merchandise sale is also raising money for Girls Who Code. Do you need even more reasons to go and check it out? I don’t think so! 🚀
I link to these camp announcements every time Apple publishes them, but it feels like something is always missing. I’d love to see a recap of the previous camps when they open enrolment for the next one. I appreciate that not all apps from completed camps will be launched when the next camp starts, but I’m sure there are still plenty of great founders, apps, and stories from the alums that Apple could highlight.
Oleksii Nezhyborets has a valuable tip in this quick post about a bug in LLDB that needs no summary, as all the pertinent information is in the blog post’s title! If you’d like a version of po
that works around the LLDB bug, he also links to swift_po from Dave Lee.
I hope this saves you from a few conversations with phrases like “But how can it be captured there?!” 😂
Do you do any automated security checking on your apps? In this article, Benoit Pasquier digs into adding mobsfscan from the MobSF Mobile Security Framework to his CI process.
We’re not working on anything yet, but this topic has been on our minds for the Package Index, too.
I missed this two-part (1, 2) series on 3D transforms from Alex Lee when it was first published in March. He was kind enough to drop me a note about it this week, though, and it’s worth a read if you’ve ever wondered what an m₃₄ is.
Will Bishop has been looking into the new privacy warnings in iOS 16 and has written a great post on working with them to ensure that your users never see a privacy warning when pasting into your app.
Ole Begemann has been experimenting with implementing Live Activities after Apple recently added the feature to the betas. If you were looking for some real-world experience with this API, here you go! The app he’s building looks very cool, too.
Have you always wanted to understand Metal 🤘 a little better but have been put off by how much there is to learn if you’re not already familiar with low-level 3D development? How about implementing a gradient in a shader instead? That sounds much more manageable, doesn’t it? Luckily, that’s what Peter Tretyakov has put together in this article.
I won’t go over my thoughts again, but no matter what I think, the results that Jacob Martin got from DALL-E to generate a logo for his OctoSQL project are remarkable, given how young the technology is.
