or awful) things with large amounts of behaviour data, though, rather than being related to anything this SDK is doing. Of course, nothing will stop companies from integrating this SDK and sending all this data somewhere, but they could also do that without this SDK. As long as you agree with the business model of free apps marketing their in-app purchases, I don’t think there’s anything to dislike here.
This idea feels like a win for everyone involved. Users get fewer calls to action at inconvenient times, and developers get happier users who are slightly more likely to respond to a CTA. That sounds good to me!
For full disclosure, I know Felix well and knew he was working on this project.

This isn’t related to any Apple platform development and only tangentially to Swift, but it’s always nice to see what Chris Lattner has been up to!
This new package from Johan Thorell looks interesting:
By avoiding large observable objects with many published properties, Atoms help you steer clear of performance bottlenecks due to rendering, while maintaining a single source of truth in your app’s architecture.
There’s more detail and some discussion in this thread on the Swift Forums.
By the way, the Community Showcase forum is a great way to get the word out on projects like this. I subscribe to posts there by RSS, but there are only a few posts per month. It’s a great way to get the word out about your current project.
If you read the framework description for TabularData, you might be tempted to dismiss the whole framework unless you are working with machine learning models.
Import, organize, and prepare a table of data to train a machine learning model.
In this post, Jordan Morgan explains why you shouldn’t skip it. I promise you’ll learn something by reading this.
There are so many times when building some UI with SwiftUI that your first thought when stacking controls on top of one another is to reach for a ZStack
, but before you do, consider an overlay
instead! There are many benefits, but having consistent geometry sourced from your primary control is the most significant. That’s not to say you’ll never need ZStack
, but it’s great to be more aware of this important modifier, and here’s Majid Jabrayilov with a detailed look at it.
Here’s Toomas Vahter with a nice reminder of this small but impactful change that arrived with Swift 5.8. It always felt strange needing the self
