Explore SwiftUI now also covers toggles 🎉 Learn all about them here:
Did you know iOS 26 introduces a new button initializer that only takes a role and an action as parameters?
Based on the role, a fully localized label with a custom icon is generated. This also provides a native way to get the sheet close and confirm buttons.
My website https://exploreswiftui.com was added to the helpful links in the r/iOSProgramming subreddit 🥺
What an honor! I regularly add new SwiftUI content and I'm always open to suggestions.
StoreKit views are coming to Explore SwiftUI! First up is ProductView, a simple way to showcase products in your SwiftUI apps. Happy exploring!
Woo, I finally got access to Siri AI 🎉 Time to fiddle with it and get my apps ready.
With Xcode 26.4 and Swift 6.3, there is finally an equivalent to XCTSkip in Swift Testing: Test.cancel(). A canceled task is not treated as a failure and is marked with a simple gray skip icon in Xcode.
If you’re into game development for Apple platforms and/or want to learn more about how Apple’s editorial team works, I highly recommend this free talk from just a few months ago:

Learn more about StoreKit views with the latest addition to Explore SwiftUI: StoreView. Happy exploring!
If you're annoyed that App Store Connect is down again, give @connectwizard@mastodon.social a try! Not only is your synced App Store Connect data stored locally, keeping it completely private, but it also unlocks insights and data you've probably never seen before.
Stats in @connectwizard@mastodon.social are getting a major upgrade soon. You’ll be able to switch between different visualizations, toggle between absolute and relative values, and finally apply filters – just like in the raw data view.
Maybe I’m late to the party, but since when has macOS stopped showing the cursor in screenshots? Did this change with 26.5.2? I love it!
Apple’s Developer Events page has a new batch of one-day workshops on Foundation Models and Siri AI, including sessions in Munich, Stockholm, and Paris. I’m really glad to see Apple bringing developer events to multiple European cities again.
First time seeing Explore SwiftUI mentioned in Google’s AI Overview 👀 Looking at the OG image, I should probably improve it so it actually shows part of the screenshot. More content coming this weekend.
