Swift over Coffee

• S4E3: The existence of Mikaela

  In this episode, we learn that the app that paid for Paul’s house hasn’t even been updated for iPhone X 😶‍🌫️ and Mikaela learns about some useful tools to help with the launch of the app that she absolutely, definitely, 100% is gonna debut in February. 😅 (Pretty sure she meant of 2025, but Paul neglected to press her on this point.) Plus, time is running out for EU trader status compliance (and some tips about keeping your personal phone number private), a big change to Swift, all the upcoming conferences (where, you know, Mikaela’s app would be incredibly useful…) and we turn the spotlight on some of the brilliant apps the Swift Over Coffee listeners are making.

• S4E2: Mikaela is a lesson

  Mikaela is joined by the most English-sounding Irishman you've ever heard for an intensive therapy session. We're talking paper cuts in Swift, those tiny annoyances that, sure, don't stop you in your tracks, but wouldn't it be nice if instead of having to cover ourselves in the coding equivalent of a hundred Band-Aids, Apple just… fixed? Please? Empathise, sympathise, and have a nice little scream into the void with us. Plus there's a roundup of conferences (running one? let us know!) and other Swift news, and we reveal Mikaela's One Weird Trick to actually shipping an app. Essential links from the episode: Fruitful: https://getfruitful.app Black Friday deals I: https://github.com/mRs-/Black-Friday-Deals Black Friday deals II: https://mjtsai.com/blog/2024/11/25/black-friday-2024/ Black Friday deals III: https://indieappsales.com Improving the approachability of data-race safety: https://forums.swift.org/t/prospective-vision-improving-the-approachability-of-data-race-safety/76183 James Dempsey’s Swift Virtuoso course: https://swift-virtuoso.com/ iOS Conf SG: https://www.iosconf.sg FOSDEM25: https://swiftlang.github.io/event-fosdem/ Mazie Conference: https://maize.dk/ Let’s visionOS: https://letsvisionos.swiftgg.team/page/ ARCtic Conference: https://arcticonference.com WebKit for SwiftUI: https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/pull/36760 TelemetryDeck: https://dashboard.telemetrydeck.com/registration/organization?referralCode=MYYXAFU3ZWQHM2CJ (Mikaela’s affiliate link, to get 100k extra signals of the free plan) Write Great Accessibility Labels WWDC 19: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2019/254 WebKit: https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/pull/36760

• S4E1: You have to sit down and do it

  We’re back! Many things have happened over that swift summer break, so pour a coffee and let’s jump right back in. In this episode, we’re talking Apple Intelligence and other code-complete co-pilots, the redesign of swift.org, shiny M4 Macs, good UI (and UX) design, and the Swift Foundation’s move to empower the community to fix tiny annoyances — but the big topic, of course, is how your adoption of Swift 6 has been going. If at all… 👀 This episode is sponsored by Astro, the App Store optimisation toolkit.
