Attention Apple devs: App Store Connect footgun warning‼️ Once an app supports a new platform as a Unlversal app, support for that platform can NEVER be removed (Without deleting the app record entirely)! I was considering tvOS and macOS versions of @neontrip.app as an experiment. 🤷‍♂️ #ReadTheDocs

Sometimes I can’t help but think I might be crazy for spending so much time on @neontrip.app, but once in a while I hear back from fellow enthusiasts out there! It means so much to get supportive feedback like this! 🥹 Thank you for riding along! 🙏🏻 #indiedev #visionOS

In great company here at the Apple Developer Community Meetup at #WWDC26 🙌 @vrhermit.com and Paolo Villanueva presenting the story of Step Into Vision, a group of developers, story tellers and other enthusiasts working on #visionOS projects and supporting each other in our shared passion. 🫶

New MusicUnderstanding framework for the new OS’es, looks cool, but without support for Apple Music streams? Really? I’ll need to look more into this. developer.apple.com/documentatio... #WWDC26

Super proud to announce the first update in quite a while. Next update will hopefully be out a LOT sooner and will bring more music sources and themes via in-app purchase. Oh! Don’t forget to check out the new website: neontrip.app #indieDev #visionOS #VR #WWDC26

First update in 20 months is now live on visionOS App Store! * Vastly improved render quality: Foveated rendering with adaptive resolution. * Improved immersion. * Playback controls in Control Center. * Improved UI Stay tuned for more updates with more themes and more music! #visionOS #synthwave

Anyone out there with a Vision Pro still on visionOS 1.0? I’ve done quite a bit of work to keep the next update compatible and would love to find someone to test it. #retroComputing #visionOS

Cool little surprise “Easter egg” today in the “FTP Client - Files Location” app for Mac by @borum.dev No spoilers here 🐣 #FTP55

Is the global currency pretty much going to be AI/compute tokens? UBI in the form of compute resources/futures?

So, this happened 🤯 🇧🇷 🚀 apps.apple.com/us/story/id1...

To my horror, I discovered that some important radio stations recently stopped responding on their old school .pls format endpoints and only streamed via HLS. My apps new radio feature only supports .pls and it hasn’t even shipped yet! To be continued… #indiedev

*sigh* It takes a lot of work and experimentation to just get “that specific UI feature” while keeping it looking and behaving as if it was made using standard system components. #swiftui

@selig.bsky.social Just wanted to say hi, and thanks for your blogpost christianselig.com/2024/03/recr... An upcoming internet radio search feature in @neontrip.app is going to use this. 👍 A shame that this kind of search bar is, as far as I can tell, still not a built-in feature. Cheers!

Recreating Apple's beautiful visionOS search bar

Many of Apple’s own visionOS apps, like Music, Safari, and Apple TV, have a handy search bar front and center on the window so you can easily search through your content. Oddly, as of visionOS 1.1, re...

Version 1.1 of the Radical Pie equation editor has been released. This is a free upgrade for all users. radicalpie.com

I finally converted my renderer to support foveated mode. It was much simpler than I thought. 🤦‍♂️ I don’t think the docs spell it out explicitly, but this enables rendering at higher resolution than otherwise with Metal.🤘 The framerate suffers though, so I need to work on that! #visionOS #GPU

This holiday season YOU 🫵 control the weather! * * As long as the weather you’d like is snow, snow, and more snow! ❄️ Out November 25 🎄

Apple: (in the current online game dev session): “There are two types of game engines on our platforms: 1. Third party (eg. Unity) 2. Ported custom PC engine.“ I guess this explains why Metal docs assume that devs already know everything about GPUs and gfx dev. 🙄 #GPU #Apple #MetalAPI #GameDev

Would it be possible to record a conversation nowadays without needing giant cockpit cans and mics suspended from earthquake proof shock absorbers?

SwiftUI: It just quirks™

Called it! But I also predicted that the updated device would be available here in Denmark. I still can’t order a dev strap or even the new Dual Knit band. I’ll keep on working with my M2 device for now. Happy M5 arrival day fellow enthusiasts! 🥳

Martin Nielsen ᯅ@martinn.dev · 2y ago

Just realized this now… The “more affordable headset” will be the current M2 version when the M5’er arrives. #AppleVisionPro #visionOS

I wonder how much is conscious design and how much is “cargo cult” reflexes. 🤔 Will be interesting to follow.

Samsung’s Galaxy XR just showed that a half-price Vision Air headset is realistic

My new app Metaballs for Apple Vision Pro is featured by the editors at the top of the App Store! 🤯 Getting two apps featured this fall was my goal, and at times felt crazy — was a lot of work. Thanks for such an amazing response everyone, more to come! 🙌

So this new single from Droid Bishop just dropped: music.apple.com/dk/album/man... This is going straight to my main playlist! Bonus: Less than a week ago one of my other favorite artists, LukHash, released another instant classic. Check out: music.apple.com/dk/album/pix...

So, when is Apple going to rename SwiftUI to Liquid Cocoa? #AppleEvent #swiftUI

Shout out to @secureshellfish.app for enabling me to keep getting work done while on the go. 🙌

Today I published the 300th post on Step Into Vision 🎉 I made this video to celebrate some of my favorite examples and labs. #AppleVisionPro #visionOS #SwiftUI #RealityKit #ARKit stepinto.vision

It’s been almost a year since the last update of Neon Trip - Music Visualizer. 🫣 Things take time 😅 Eg. The past week I got carried away with the math behind providing meaningful search suggestions (the tiny menu below a search field) for a new internet radio search feature. 🤓 Who will notice? 🔎

Federico meets Federighi to talk iPadOS! 🎯 This is a must-read 🤓 I mainly use my iPad Pro (2018) to take notes, sketch diagrams and do math with Apple Pencil. But I look forward to explore the new multi-window & menu bar paradigm.

Last week, I sat down with Craig Federighi for 30 minutes to talk about the iPad. We covered a lot: the iPad's multitasking journey, being inspired by macOS, iPad criticisms over the years and…the essence of the iPad in 2025. I'm proud of this one. My story: www.macstories.net/stories/inte...
