I was on parental leave for the last three months and in regard to the main topic of this blog they went differently than I expected.

I bought an iPad Pro with a 11-inch display and the latest M4 chip and was surprised and pleased.

No big thing worth mentioning for me - except one.

Small but useful improvements in the name of convergence. Nothing amazing, though.

During WWDC24, Apple finally introduced a “swifty” test framework to replace XCTest.

This is my personal and subjective summary of Apple’s keynote and state of the union during its worldwide developer conference 2024.

Breaking down individual features of domain-oriented managers into dedicated implementations improves developer experience.

Some SwiftUI views I have require padding one platform and none on the other. To avoid preprocessor switches everywhere I created a custom view modifier for it.

We need file provider extension processes to talk to each other. What first appeared to be prevented by sandbox on iOS works with a different API.

Having a file provider extension with multiple domains and processes and even more enumerators logging in parallel can become a mess. Leveraging the subsystem and category fields to the rescue.
