Comment <\/h2>\n

I did not have Apple launching a web-based version of the App Store<\/a> on my bingo card for this week, but here we are<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a full, multi-region<\/a> implementation of the App Store, with the \u201cToday\u201d view (including featured lists<\/a> and events<\/a>) and Apple Arcade. The only downside is that you can\u2019t actually buy apps or games from it. \ud83d\ude2c The closest you\u2019ll get is a link to the App Store if you\u2019re browsing on a supported platform, or a share button if you\u2019re on Windows or Linux.<\/p>\n

Until now, smaller app developers have had a choice to make when launching a new app. Should you rely on linking directly to an App Store listing, assuming that everyone who clicks on it will have a device that will launch the store and show your product page? Or should you spend valuable pre-launch time building a basic website that has most of the same information on it that your App Store listing does?<\/p>\n

There are, of course, advantages to building your own website for an app. You get control over the layout, information architecture, and analytics. You also get the chance to let people opt in to receiving email, either as customers or as potential customers before<\/em> they make an App Store download. Those are all good reasons you might still like to build a website, but having your App Store product page available on the web is great as you get started.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a nice step forward for the App Store!<\/p>\n

Why RevenueCat chose native paywalls<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve rebuilt RevenueCat Paywalls to be fully native \u2014 giving developers faster load times, smoother animations, and seamless integration with SwiftUI. You can design high-performing paywalls that feel at home in your app while keeping all the analytics, A\/B testing, and monetization tools you already rely on.

Next steps for apps distributed in Texas<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019m familiar with some of the UK and EU laws around child safety online, but I had not come across SB2420 until this week. It goes considerably further\u2014requiring parental consent for every app download, purchase, and \u2018significant change\u2019 for anyone under 18. Apple has released new APIs to help developers comply, and, if you want to sell your apps in Texas, you\u2019ll need to comply by January 2026. Luckily, there is a sandbox testing<\/a> mode, because that\u2019s not very far away!<\/p>\n

Creative Coding: Randomness and Noise<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The Create with Swift<\/a> blog from imaginary institute<\/a> and the Apple Developer Academy in Napoli<\/a> has been consistently publishing truly excellent articles on Swift and Apple platform technologies for years now. I don\u2019t link to every one, but they are all worth reading. If you need an example, look no further than yesterday\u2019s post from Antonella Giugliano<\/a> on adding randomness where it might not be obvious.<\/p>\n

Find the SwiftUI Views that Update the Most Using Instruments<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Mark Szymczyk<\/a>:<\/p>\n

This article uses the new SwiftUI instrument Apple added in Xcode 26. If you are using an earlier version of Xcode, read the following article:<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It really does what it says on the tin. It finds SwiftUI views that update most frequently and identifies what causes those updates. Instruments is, as always, super useful.<\/p>\n

Demystifying AI Coding Agents in Swift<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Gio Scalzo<\/a> found himself curious about how coding agents work (not the models behind them, but the agent software) and decided to try to build one to demystify them! Read his article if you\u2019re interested in learning how the experiment went and a bit about approximately how agents work.<\/p>\n

I Gave My First Conference Talk!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

I had to double take when I saw that Chris Wu<\/a>\u2019s first-ever conference talk<\/a> was about time zones! That\u2019s quite the topic to start with, Chris, but I\u2019m so glad that you did, and that it inspired this fantastic write-up of your experience. \u2764\ufe0f I hope it encourages some of you to submit a proposal to your favourite conference for a talk!<\/p>\n

Swift Leeds Videos 2025<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Speaking of Swift Leeds<\/a>, the organisers finished posting all the session videos from last month\u2019s conference. There are plenty of talks and a panel discussion<\/a> to pick from. However, given the previous link, it\u2019s worth noting that Swift Leeds had four<\/em> brand-new speakers: Kim Gyuri<\/a>, Erin Sparling<\/a>, Oksana Shcherban<\/a>, and, of course, Chris Wu<\/a>, who you read about above.<\/p>\n
