Thanks @tim_cook for the scholarship opportunity to attend this year’s #wwdc . At @joinpursuit the sole mission is to remove barriers while representing the under-represented as they enter the iOS professional tech industry. I know first hand how difficult such a journey can be.

This #aws outage seems to be affecting both work and play, does that make it responsible for >90% of the internet? #strava down as well

There are some rough edges—for example, the interval times don’t quite add up to the expected 60-minute duration shown in the UI. I’ve seen similar quirks with server-based LLMs as well. Still, I’m excited about this on-device FoundationModels beta from Apple.

I've been intentionally logged out of ChatGPT or any other LLM to see when I would reach the Code Assistant ChatGPT free limit Apple provides, and after a few days, I finally got to it.

If watching the [Meet the Foundations Models framework](developer.apple.com/videos/play/ww…) session from WWDC25 and trying out tool calling using the `GetWeatherTool` example with the the Playground macro,, make sure your app is also [configured for WeatherKit](alexpaul.dev/2023/11/29/add…).

I can totally see a world where I give @OpenAI access to my @Strava data and I have full LLM natural language access to my data and can query at will, ex: show me my last 6 hour outdoor ride🤔

@nytorv I can see Malmö from there. Hoping to catch up this summer 🇩🇰🇸🇪

It’s summertime 🤩 I love the smell of flowers and the sounds of birds ❤️

@jakemor @Superwall Here's my write up if anyone is interested to test it locally alexpaul.dev/2025/03/24/how…

Say goodbye to winback and promotional offers - Apple officially lets you reset trial eligibility on demand, whenever you want. Coming to @Superwall ASAP

@jeiting Just checked and the US external purchase link API docs are gone developer.apple.com/support/

This is actually a big deal. YGR just eviscerated Apple's ability to force payments exclusively through the App Store in the US. She enforced the injunction against apple with a vengeance. Effective immediately. Here's what it means for app developers: theverge.com/news/659246/ap…

Looks like Athlete Intelligence decided Strava itself needed some R & R.

If you're into StoreKit we now have a new offer type alexpaul.dev/2024/06/11/int… #wwdc24

Interested in being an Engineering Manager at Apple? jobs.apple.com/en-us/details/…

Definitely felt an earthquake in Forest Hills, New York. 😱

I'm looking for a new job/opportunity 🫵 Preferably iOS/macOS. I'm good at it. about me: krzyzanowskim.com Please spread the word 🙏 DM open.

Back to the Bear for me on Hulu

Apple TV down for me as well. Trying to catch episode 7 of Constellation.

Work in progress for my next visionOS app update. Still need to get the GenAI prompt for the image a bit more in line with the text prompt, but pretty close so far.

This run felt solid throughout and yep loving my Stryde power pod 🎉. Also, I couldn’t resist going to check the Apple Vision Pro being so close to the store in Central Park. I wasn’t able to get a demo but this thing looks beautiful 🤩. Can’t wait to try my app on it.

@chidiemeh184 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

I’m short of words to express how I’m feeling after the demo today. 🤯. Everything makes sense to me now after years as an #iOS developer. This is the future #VisionOS. AMAZING! MIND BLOWN!

It was an absolute joy working on this v1 visionOS app and have it shipped in time for launch day launch 🚀. Such a fun and innovative platform to develop on. apps.apple.com/us/app/running… #VisionOS #AppleVisionPro 🏃🏾‍♂️⛅️🥽

…but then again that could be a sweaty 😅 experience

Any Apple Vision Pro @GoZwift ‘rs yet? 🥽 🚴🏾
