VisionPro Ships, first impressions, AppStore changes for the EU and US Feb 04, 2024

Show notes

In this episode, we'll discuss two main topics: the new Apple Vision Pro hardware and the changes coming to the App Store.

We start by diving into the new EU Court rulings regarding Apple's monopoly and the requirement for allowing third-party app stores on iOS devices. Apple has made this confusing intentionally, and there are new terms and conditions that developers have to agree to, which involves giving Apple money for doing nothing. This move has raised concerns about security and privacy issues.

Moving on to the US side, changes are coming to the App Store. Apple now allows linking outside the App Store to other payment methods, but developers must still agree to new rules and conditions and pay Apple for this privilege. The complexity of these changes is causing confusion and frustration among developers.

Next, we shift our focus to the Apple Vision Pro hardware. The device has finally shipped, and initial impressions.

macOS Virtual Machines with Bushel, and SwiftData with Leo Dion Jan 14, 2024

Show notes

A conversation between two developers discussing Bushel, an app developed by Leo. Leo explains Bushel is designed as a valuable tool for developers, allowing users to spin up an entire VM of an operating system, trial something, and, if it doesn't work, delete the VM without causing any issue to the primary system.

Bushel also uses the newly released Swift Data for managing database functions. Leo shares his experiences building the app, including challenges initially using 'User Defaults' for data storage and navigating the sandboxing system.

Muse and Developer Duck with Adam Wulf Dec 02, 2023

Show notes

Muse is a great note-taking app, but it is so much more. I use it almost daily for brain dumps and organizing my thoughts. Developer Duck is an AI-powered tool that works great both stand-alone and inside Xcode. I use it to improve my code, learn, and solve problems.

The creator, Adam Wulf, joined me to discuss the apps and more. He was also gracious enough to offer discounts for listeners.

Talking source code protection and end of year job hunting advice Nov 26, 2023

Show notes

In this episode of Compile Swift Podcast, I talk about the importance of keeping source code in remote repositories and maintaining good backup practices. I remind listeners of the risks like natural disasters and hardware failures and underline the critical need for a plan B.

In the second part of the episode, I offer advice on job hunting during a challenging period when budgets run out towards the end of the year.

I urge listeners to use this time for self-improvement: learning new things, working on personal projects, contributing to open-source projects, and shaping resumes. I further emphasize the powerful impression showcasing source code can make when applying for jobs.

Create Android apps with Swift and Xcode Nov 18, 2023

Show notes

How would you like to create Android Kotlin apps using Swift and Xcode? I thought that might get your attention. I talked with Abe and Marc from https://skip.tools on their project and toolset. This excellent technical preview excites me and many others to write once and deploy twice.
