So much new goodness due to WWDC
Send me a textSwift and SwiftUI received big updates last week. Yes, only available on beta releases. But give it a few months and we are living and breathing these changes.I also liked a CarPlay article I stumbled upon. It is a really nice change of pace integrating something on CarPlay. A bit like venturing into AppleWatch or macOS for the first time.I tried to order them in a logical way. Obviously there is a ton more news from Apple. But this is what I could fit in an podcast episode within reason.During my intro I also mentioned the Swift Package Index. Check it out, I really love their recently added support for DocC generation and hosting.Here are the links of this week.All new frameworks presented at WWDC22What’s new in Swift 5.7Swift 5.7’s new optional unwrapping syntaxWhat’s the difference between any and some in Swift 5.7?Using the ‘some’ and ‘any’ keywords to reference generic protocols in Swift 5.7Trying new Swift features on Linux via VS Code dev containersWhat’s new in SwiftUI for iOS 16Overview of the new SwiftUI navigation APIsiOS 16: Notable UIKit AdditionsCreate a Detent with a Custom Height in iOS 16What’s new in Xcode 14Join me in Amsterdam for Do iOS 2025, tickets and details available now.
