- Provides real, compiled SwiftUI components with live iOS Simulator screenshots and exact source code.
- Components are self-contained and can be copied directly into Xcode projects without dependencies.
- Designed for AI coding tools like Claude Code and Cursor, using real UI instead of hallucinated layouts.
- Every image is a genuine simulator screenshot; the code shown is the exact source that produced it.
- Supports iOS 17 and above, using pure SwiftUI with minimal UIKit shims.
iOS and Mac app development is constant churn
5 days ago
- iOS 27 beta introduced a crash in NetNewsWire caused by a broken transition between split view and compact mode.
- Crashes are most frequent on Pro Max devices and iPads, as reported in TestFlight feedback involving phone rotation.
- The developer expresses frustration over constant iOS changes that force unnecessary work instead of improvements.
- The fix likely requires specifying a separate compact view controller, as automatic split view collapsing may no longer be supported.
- This adds extra work and testing across multiple iOS versions (back to iOS 17), deemed a waste of time with no benefit.
Building and Shipping Mac and iOS Apps Without Ever Opening Xcode
16 days ago
- Build and ship Mac/iOS apps without opening Xcode by using command-line tools like xcodebuild, notarytool, and devicectl.
- One-time setup includes installing Xcode, XcodeGen, configuring Apple Developer account, creating certificates, and storing notarization credentials.
- Automate the entire release pipeline with a script (e.g., release.sh) that handles archiving, signing, notarization, stapling, and installation.
- Use XcodeGen to manage project configuration via a YAML file, avoiding Git issues with .xcodeproj files.
- Secrets like signing keys and app-specific passwords are stored securely in keychains or password managers, not in the repository.
- Agents (e.g., Claude Code) can execute workflows via shell commands and documentation (e.g., CLAUDE.md), enabling fully headless operations.
