FB20052048 - iOS fails to render icons as they are displayed in Icon Composer when using blend mode Screen on a layer.

This is bad. You cannot know for certain if what you put into your icon looks exactly like what you ship. This is even worse for designers who are not developers and have no idea why this happens. They should not have to think about this stuff.

The August issue of the Nil Coalescing Newsletter is out! It’s in subscribers’ inboxes and now also available online. This month I share my recent work along with some resources from the iOS development community that I’ve found especially useful: https://nilcoalescing.com/newsletter/2025-08-29/
#iOSDev #Swift #SwiftUI

That’s a good Swift package documentation

I wish #SwiftUI questions would usually go:
- here is my GIST
- it doesn't work
- what should I be doing to get it working?

Instead you get, "how do I do xyz from AutoLayout in SwiftUI" or "I do something blub and it doesn't work, SwiftUI, dude!"

Hey everyone I'm excited to finally share what I've been working on since WWDC!

Daylish - a delightful day planner that combines calendars, alarms and timers in a unified timeline with smart "leave on time" routines that help you never be late again (an idea I've had for years but could only now realize with #AlarmKit in #iOS26)

It's almost ready for #beta testing!

#TestFlight waitlist: https://join.daylish.app

Follow @DaylishApp for updates

Would be nice if the content shape of a #SwiftUI view was readable to perform custom hit-testing

Is somebody else's TestFlight totally borked? Counts are not updating or are highly inaccurate. There should be way more crashes listed as well. When going into a tester's details, then it shows that data. #SwiftUI #UIKit #BuildInPublic

Corner concentricity was mentioned a lot at WWDC25, and now we finally have SwiftUI APIs for it. In my new post I explore how we can use the new ConcentricRectangle and containerShape() in iOS 26 to make our views fit perfectly within their containers: https://nilcoalescing.com/blog/ConcentricRectangleInSwiftUI/
#SwiftUI #iOSDev

Stretchy container for arbitrary #SwiftUI views.

Today we’re excited to launch Bitrig. Bitrig builds native Swift apps just by chatting with AI. In minutes, and with no code required, you can create an app and deploy it directly to TestFlight. https://youtu.be/e-DqSVEI50w #Swift #SwiftUI #BuildInPublic

For years I've tried and failed to fix this bug in ShapeUp but today it has finally been squashed!

Concave corners now inset correctly and beautifully even with reflex angles! This is only in the dev build now but I'll get a new update out soon (with lots of other cool features for drawing shapes in SwiftUI)

Updated introductory post:

Hiya! I'm Cris, a 40+ expat living in #costarica. My family moved here recently to escape the American nightmare hellscape. Struggling daily to learn Spanish and to function outside the US.

Married with 2 kids, 2 cats, and 2 dogs. I'm a knitter and gamer. I'm slowly teaching myself #SwiftUI in my spare time. Once I'm able to ship my bass from where it's stored in the US I’ll get back to learning that as well.

I play and run TTRPGs. Mostly D&D 5e, but I'm always looking for opportunities to try out other games and systems. I prefer my video games solo and story-driven. I know I'm bad at them. I don't need any witnesses to that fact

When I'm not gaming or working, I’m usually knitting while watching something scifi or horror. Trying my best to get out of the house and explore my new country, but the backlog is vast.

Topics of interest:

Of course this #SwiftUI crash will only occur on device, and not on simulator

Why is the Rectangle not matching the corner radius? If I remove the Text element it works, because it assumes the device corner radius is meant to be used, but I want to take the concentric corners of the VStack. What am I doing wrong here? #SwiftUI
