@alpennec Maybe your tool can help Axel out @MaartenBorsje ?

Is there a local LLM I can run on my Mac to translate my app’s string catalogs?

@StewartLynch Happy Birthday Stewart! 🥳

Today I ship v75.0. 75 years of patches, upgrades, bug fixes, deprecated habits, and surprisingly few fatal errors. Still compiling. Still shipping. Still learning. When you get to be my age, you are allowed to be a little vain and celebrate your own birthday

@polpielladev @hiddevdploeg @helm_app Just did! Thanks in advance 🙂

@TimGK1 @hiddevdploeg @helm_app Hey @TimGK1! Thanks for sharing this, but just so that we have a lot more context and have a better chance of fixing it, can you send this through the Send Feedback form in Settings? 🙏 I am preparing an iOS release today, so I will try and fix this too.

Hey @polpielladev / @hiddevdploeg, noticed a small thing in the @helm_app for iOS. On the TestFlight tab -> Groups it always says 0/25 testers. But going into the group does show the correct number, 2/25 in this case. The group has a 25 testers limit.

@ProjectEmbers @swifteves Thanks! I only did WatchConnectivity for a HealthKit related app and HealthKit is unavailable when the iPhone is locked. Good to know this will work.

@TimGK1 @swifteves No it doesnt. Watch connectivity can wake the phone in the background but if its not reachable, turned off or dead battery or low power mode it wont work.

Okay apologies if this is a silly question, but can a watch app kick off a request for foundation models in the iOS companion app and then deliver those results back?

@ProjectEmbers @swifteves Does the iPhone need to be unlocked for that or can it be locked and still handle the request?

@swifteves I actually know this one. You can essentially use the watch ping the iPhone with WatchConnectivity. While the watch cant run foundation models then iPhone can and return the results. The watch just becomes a fancy remote

hey @Telemetry_Deck How is it possible that I see recent signals from other countries with even isAppStore is true for an app that is not even released on the App Store? There is 1 TestFlight link which I have prepared but not even shared yet, and it has 0 installs?!

@rudrank In my youth I found it too difficult to pass Brock with a Charizard 😂 Bulbasaur was way easier for the first two gyms.

@TimGK1 Wow; I always want Charizard so only one option for me 🤣

Which starter Pokémon did you choose?

@twostraws Might be something for HomeList @MaartenBorsje

Sunday Build with HWS+: Ever struggled with a complicated document? 🥴 This app uses Apple's Foundation Models to summarize it, then lets you talk to it to find exactly what you need. #SundayBuild hackingwithswift.com/plus/live-stre…

@martin_shameti @twostraws You just asked Codex to use all the necessary skills and review / improve the entire project?

I used this skill on a small Voice Memos app I'm tinkering with and Codex worked for 55 minutes and produced this diff. I'm not sure what magic is in here but every single interaction is much smoother and transitions that I didn't know I needed were introduced, and the view layout were made far more legible, friendly, accessible. The file directory structure became far more comprehensible, organized, isolated. Thank you for open-sourcing your lifelong expertise!

Last week I released SwiftUI Pro, a free and open-source agent skill to help everyone write better SwiftUI code using agents such as Codex and Claude. It's already at 1800 stars on GitHub and rising, but it was just the beginning. github.com/twostraws/Swif…

@DonnyWals Sounds like you’ve worked yourself into a good routine and have quite a big ‘stok achter de deur’ haha

@TimGK1 I wouldn't say I go more. I just go more consistently. It's been three times a week for a while now, but skipping now feels extra bad because I'm missing a good testing session.

✅ Video recording for today is done. Now time to work on some features and go to the gym to try some new stuff for Maxine.

@hiddevdploeg I think Robbie Williams’ XXV Tour in the Ziggo Dome some 3 years ago. 😅

Sooo what was the last concert you’ve been to and where? I want some inspiration to test my app 😊

@twannl I’d love to test this out!

I’m looking for iOS developers that find accessibility in their apps important. I’ve developed an exciting new way to test VoiceOver in the Simulator and would love for you to try it out. Please tag your experts in the replies, so I can follow up!

@pigg_thomas Is it a bug when the code won’t compile yet? 🤔

If your going to make a bug, do it in style

@twostraws Can we find and see the videos somewhere? Or is that only for testers at this moment?

I've sent Kickstart TestFlight invites to 10 more people, all of whom emailed me to say they were interested. I made another video of its features – it was 38 minutes, despite me flying through everything quickly 🫠 Hopefully I'll be able to expand the TestFlight further soon!

@DonnyWals I made little app for myself a while back to track how much water I drink in a day. Cause I often also don’t drink enough 😅

Offseting the water used by my agents by forgetting to drink water. You're welcome 👍

@mattcassinelli @rudrank May have found a way by using SnippetView and result(view). That will have a “Done” button below the view but is the closest I can currently get. Need to read about it a bit more. Codex in Xcode 26.3 didn’t get my initial request to make this. Maybe giving the Snippet tip helps

@mattcassinelli @rudrank Have you been able to open one intent from another with the second one taking in an Int as Parameter? When I try that I get a “Invalid action metadata” when trying the Shortcut. Without a Parameter it works fine. Calling the second Shortcut by itself als works. 🤔

Something I don’t talk often enough is the importance of design for App Intents. Especially now that implementation will be done by AI, *how* you design your intents is more important than simply getting it done.
