This week's episode discusses AI tools and their applications for developers. The hosts share their experiences using AI chatbots, highlighting their usefulness for code generation, problem-solving guidance, and code explanation. They also discuss the benefits of AI tools for finding code snippets and remembering API names.AI tools are useful for developers, especially when dealing with outdated or obscure technologies, as they can provide accurate and relevant information. While Apple's predictive code completion in Xcode has its limitations, it is a step towards integrating AI into developer tools. However, the lack of progress on Apple's promised chat-based tool, Swift Assist, raises concerns about Apple's ability to compete in the rapidly evolving AI landscape.Mentioned in this episodeDeveloper DuckCursorGitHub Copilot for XcodeClean My MacFollow Peterhttps://peterwitham.comFollow Geoffhttps://cocoatype.comBecome a Patreon member and help this Podcast survivehttps://www.patreon.com/compileswift Thanks to our monthly supporters Emerson Warwick Marko Wiese Adam Wulf bitSpectre Arclite ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

This week, I delved into whether to embrace or avoid new APIs in Apple's upcoming operating systems. I encountered a few challenges while working on my Mac iOS app, which I aimed to have a modern look. Inspired by Apple developer videos, I wanted to incorporate features like a navigation split view and fancy backgrounds, similar to the design of CleanMyMac.However, I hit a snag when they were in a part of the app's window. Even AI couldn't solve it. Finally, I found a solution in a video on the Apple developer portal, which involved using modifiers only available in macOS 15. Faced with a choice, I implemented conditional code to keep compatibility with macOS 14 while enabling new features for macOS 15 and beyond.Using conditional code, such as #if available(macOS 15, *), I can target specific OS versions and ensure my app remains functional across different versions without cutting off users. This technique can be applied to various scenarios, not just API availability, making it a versatile tool.Become a Patreon member and help this Podcast survivehttps://www.patreon.com/compileswiftPlease leave a review and show your supporthttps://lovethepodcast.com/compileswiftFollow me on Mastodonhttps://iosdev.space/@Compileswift Thanks to our monthly supporters bitSpectre Arclite ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Thanks for the suggestion on this topic. We often see folks asking why cross-platform is such a great idea, but we don't usually discuss why it can also be a bad idea and how we can promote native platform development.This can be incredibly challenging for companies that see the one code base for cross-platform development as reduced development time and cost without considering the long-term consequences.(00:00) - Introduction (01:10) - DevClub Discord (01:27) - Listener Question (06:34) - Become a Patreon member (06:54) - Native code is easier to maintain (10:44) - Rate and review (11:42) - Support the podcast Become a Patreon member and help this Podcast survivehttps://www.patreon.com/compileswiftPlease leave a review and show your supporthttps://lovethepodcast.com/compileswiftYou can also show your support by buying me a coffeehttps://peterwitham.com/bmcFollow me on Mastodonhttps://iosdev.space/@Compileswift Thanks to our monthly supporters Arclite ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

In this episode, we'll discuss two main topics: the new Apple Vision Pro hardware and the changes coming to the App Store. We start by diving into the new EU Court rulings regarding Apple's monopoly and the requirement for allowing third-party app stores on iOS devices. Apple has made this confusing intentionally, and there are new terms and conditions that developers have to agree to, which involves giving Apple money for doing nothing. This move has raised concerns about security and privacy issues.Moving on to the US side, changes are coming to the App Store. Apple now allows linking outside the App Store to other payment methods, but developers must still agree to new rules and conditions and pay Apple for this privilege. The complexity of these changes is causing confusion and frustration among developers.Next, we shift our focus to the Apple Vision Pro hardware. The device has finally shipped, and initial impressions.Please leave a review and show your supporthttps://lovethepodcast.com/compileswiftYou can also show your support by buying me a coffeehttps://peterwitham.com/bmcFollow me on Mastodon@Compileswift@iosdev.space Thanks to our monthly supporters Arclite ★ Support this podcast ★

A conversation between two developers discussing Bushel, an app developed by Leo. Leo explains Bushel is designed as a valuable tool for developers, allowing users to spin up an entire VM of an operating system, trial something, and, if it doesn't work, delete the VM without causing any issue to the primary system.Bushel also uses the newly released Swift Data for managing database functions. Leo shares his experiences building the app, including challenges initially using 'User Defaults' for data storage and navigating the sandboxing system.As mentioned in this episode Leo DionGet BushelEmpower Apps PodcastPlease leave a review and show your supporthttps://lovethepodcast.com/compileswiftYou can also show your support by buying me a coffeehttps://peterwitham.com/bmcWould you like to advertise on this Podcast?https://peterwitham.com/podpromoFollow me on Mastodon@Compileswift@iosdev.space(00:00) - Introduction (00:16) - Leo Dion (00:46) - Bushel (08:21) - Goodbye Intel (15:44) - SetApp - 200+ Mac Apps (16:58) - VM Security (19:10) - Pricing (21:03) - Building Bushel (26:12) - Trade Coffee (28:25) - SwiftData (38:13) - Combine (41:52) - Go Get Bushel (43:13) - Thanks Leo (43:41) - Support the podcast (44:03) - Rate and review ★ Support this podcast ★
