Did you have a good WWDC week? As always, I won\u2019t try to sum up the entirety of this week\u2019s announcements in today\u2019s issue. We have the whole summer to explore it all. There\u2019s no rush.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start with Liquid Glass and the new design refresh. So far, all we\u2019ve seen is the stock Apple apps, some demo apps, and sample code<\/a>. These present the new design in the best possible light, as they should. What we\u2019ve seen so far is supposed to guide our decisions as we design and ship our \u201826 platform releases.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure many of you have already compiled your apps against the new SDKs to see what state they are in. The only person I\u2019ve seen doing a show and tell on this so far is David Smith<\/a> with his post \u201cRule #1: No HIG Exceptions, No Custom UI<\/a>\u201d. The whole post is worth your time, but his conclusion should be no surprise given the title of his post.<\/p>\n

Where this gets interesting to me is how this might affect app design across the entire industry. iOS has always led the way in mobile design, and while I\u2019m not saying nothing flows back in the other direction, the iOS 7 re-design in 2013 had a huge influence that was echoed in Google\u2019s Material Design a year later. Will Liquid Glass have a similar effect? I\u2019m not suggesting that everything on every mobile platform will suddenly have glass effects everywhere, but will we see more depth, shadows, and texture in popular Google apps<\/a> in a year or two?<\/p>\n

Of course, the elephant in the room is that many of the top apps on iOS are built with cross-platform frameworks and won\u2019t immediately get access to updated native components or anything that looks like it. There\u2019s also the non-technical challenge of many of these apps still subscribing to the \u201cit needs to look the same on all platforms\u201d school of thought. I don\u2019t expect to see messages in WhatsApp or news articles in the New York Times app sliding around on glassy surfaces any time soon.<\/p>\n

If I had to predict right now, we\u2019ll probably end up somewhere in the middle. It\u2019s possible that Apple will slightly tone down some parts of the new design before it ships. Smaller native apps will adopt the fundamentals like new-style tab bars and navigation, but will leave some elements untouched. Huge apps like those I mentioned above will probably not make any major changes, but will we see a little more texture and warmth in mobile design? It\u2019s possible.<\/p>\n

Developer experience wins from WWDC25<\/a><\/p>\n

Pedro Pi\u00f1era<\/a> presents a round-up of developer tooling highlights from this year\u2019s conference, including a comment on container<\/a> and containerization<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

I can\u2019t help but wonder why Apple invested in their own open-source solution when we already have Docker and Podman. But I guess as Swift spreads to other ecosystems like web servers or Swift executables that run on Linux OSs, controlling the developer experience of using Swift in those environments at a lower level makes sense.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

When I first saw those words, I thought Apple might have enabled macOS inside a container! Unfortunately, we\u2019re not that lucky, at least not this year. \ud83e\udd1e<\/p>\n

Code<\/h2>\n

WebView is Finally Coming to SwiftUI<\/a><\/p>\n

I think the \u201cfinally\u201d in the post title is justified! Web views are not hard to wrap in SwiftUI controls, but I\u2019m also happy we\u2019ll never need to do it again. Daniel Saidi<\/a> has a write up of the new view and his plans to deprecate WebViewKit<\/a>. Read the full post for a great overview of the new API\u2019s capabilities.<\/p>\n\n

Notable UIKit Additions in iOS 26<\/a><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s Jordan Morgan<\/a>\u2019s regular-as-clockwork look at UIKit enhancements despite the surrounding SwiftUI excitement. He makes a sharp observation:<\/p>\n

\n

This is interesting, as the common line of thinking was that as SwiftUI evolved, the gap between it and UIKit would widen.<\/p>\n

Instead, it\u2019s shrinking<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

He\u2019s talking about UIKit gaining Observable<\/code> support. He also lists some smaller improvements at the end of the post. UIKit isn\u2019t going anywhere any time soon.<\/p>\n\n

Teaching LLM agents about your package<\/a><\/p>\n

After seeing Joe Fabisevich<\/a>\u2019s BlueSky post, I did a bit of research. As far as I can tell, Claude Code and Cursor won\u2019t yet automatically<\/em> find these files in your dependencies, but there\u2019s a proposal<\/a> to change that. Until then, you can always manually tell the agent about the location of this file. I\u2019d love to see more packages add these files as this kind of documentation will really help the LLMs.<\/p>\n

Design<\/h2>\n

How to Make Apple\u2019s Liquid Glass Effect In Figma<\/a><\/p>\n

I suspect Sketch and maybe Figma will simplify the creation of this effect in design files in future versions, as doing this process repeatedly would be a pain. However, it\u2019s interesting to see Erik Kennedy<\/a> create it from scratch!<\/p>\n

Business and Marketing<\/h2>\n

App Store SEO Algorithm Change<\/a><\/p>\n

Ariel Michaeli<\/a> on some potential changes to the App Store search algorithm:<\/p>\n

\n

Now that Apple is reading keywords from captions, every character counts. Instead of fluff, use captions that match real keywords users are searching for.<\/p>\n

For example, \u201cTrack Sleep Patterns\u201d is a very active caption and gives you \u201ctrack sleep\u201d, \u201csleep patterns\u201d, and \u201ctrack sleep patterns\u201d, keywords people are looking for. However, \u201cWake Up Refreshed\u201d isn\u2019t because no one\u2019s searching for that.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This is great advice, and not only for SEO! It\u2019s also easy to imagine that Apple has started to OCR your app\u2019s screenshots so it rings true.<\/p>\n

And finally…<\/h2>\n
\n

I took every sit<\/code> archive on the WayBack machine I could find. I\u2019ve expanded them all, applied the schemes, screenshot and cropped the images and delivered it to you here.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
