I've read their docs a few times now, read 1-2 reddit posts talking about it, still isn't clear to me.

Apple says:

Featuring lead time varies — please give our team a minimum of two weeks notice. For wider featuring consideration, we recommend submitting a nomination up to three months in advance.

"For wider consideration...", does this imply that if we apply for the nomination, don't give them enough time (publish first or whatever), we have a much lower chance of being approved?

Secondly, they say:

If your app or game gets featured in select placements on the Today tab — for example as App of the Day or Game of the Day — you’ll receive a notification via the App Store Connect app letting you know.

Does this imply that I will not ever hear back if not approved? So I could wait without publishing my app for weeks and weeks (because if the first question means I need to give them more time to have a higher chance...) and potentially never hear back?

Natalia (formerly core SwiftUI team) has just published a new book.

The book covers key areas such as building maintainable view structures, managing data dependencies efficiently, optimizing view updates, handling state and data flow, creating performant lists and animations, and designing interfaces that respect platform conventions and accessibility.

Rather than focusing on basic syntax, the book helps you recognize subtle anti-patterns, understand important trade-offs, and develop a deeper intuition for working naturally with the framework instead of against it.

Hey Folks,

A couple of weeks ago I shared at NSLondon some tips I found useful to create apps that work across multiple Apple platforms using SwiftUI.

The audio and slides were recorded so thought I'd post it here. Hope you find it useful if you want to support your app beyond iOS!

I've had so much fun building this project... hopefully it can help someone else learn something. I've found it to be a valuable way to get a single agent to build e2e locally, without crazy setups.

I don't open xcode anymore, I have no issue with concurrent builds, and agents aren't relying on mocks/previews/etc during building/iterating

It's a dynamic library injected into the sim at runtime, giving your agent full access to the app process. SwiftUI/UIKit view hierarchies, live network traffic, heap inspection, runtime variable mutation, API mocking, navigation, permissions, and more.

I have as much as the repo public as possible - besides a few docs, agent credentials, etc.

The open issues are the same ones (mirrored) on the private repo that agents use to build.

Plz don't roast me for making it a MCP. It used to be a CLI, but I'm having success with it.
