Apple mathematically proved its quantum-secure crypto (ML-KEM & ML-DSA) is correct - not just tested it. Using Isabelle, SAW & Cryptol, they verified C ARM64 code matches the FIPS specs, catching bugs tests would miss. Tools now open-sourced. security.apple.com/blog/form…

- Google : AI now generates about 75% of new code inside the company - The code is still reviewed and approved by human engineers - In 2024 AI generated ~ 25% of code; later 50%, now 75% - One complex code migration was completed 6 times faster with AI businessinsider.com/google-a…

When I was at Apple, I loved working on micro interactions that you see all over the OS. Now that I’m not an apple I still like to solve for these little problems that really annoyed me. In this case, I designed a backspace button with a speed controller, so by just pressing it you can delete by letter and then immediately by word as you stretch it, without having to wait (like it usually does on the OS) and then if you stretch a little more, you can speed delete through words… I’m also working on another one where you can repair the words if you over-deleted it by accident 😜 (it also has haptic feedback, which makes it really fun)

If you’re building apps and still skipping linear algebra, MIT’s free Linear Algebra course by Gilbert Strang is worth your time. Vectors, matrices, eigenvalues - the math behind ML, Core ML, ARKit, 3D graphics, animations, and image/video processing. youtube.com/playlist?list=PL…

iOS Dev Lost His Job to AI A developer was laid off, supposedly due to AI, and is now going all-in on indie apps, YouTube and his developer community. His advice: don't rely on a single job or salary, start building side income now, before you need it youtube.com/watch?v=NZbbg5Kf…

Building iOS Apps with AI Agents: The Practitioner's Guide The guide details how to ship iOS apps faster using AI coding agents - Claude Code CLI, Codex CLI, and Xcode 26.3 native agents - based on lessons from 8 production apps totaling 293 Swift files. blakecrosley.com/guides/ios-…

Okay wow so Apple does now requires every new app to submit a: 1) A screen recording captured on a physical device demonstrating the app's functionality. 2) A description of the app's purpose, including the problem it solves and the value it provides 3) Instructions for accessing and reviewing the app's main features 4) A list of the external services, tools, or platforms the app uses to deliver its core functionality I guess the mass-production of IOS apps really forced Apple to be more strict in their reviewing process 😅 You can ask Claude Code to review your Xcode project and generate a reply to points 2-4 and attach a screen recording!

SpaceX says it has option to acquire startup Cursor for $60 billion SpaceX has secured an option to either buy Cursor for $60 billion later in 2026 or pay $10 billion for a strategic partnership instead. reuters.com/technology/space…

Interesting, somewhat old but still relevant: this article argues that Swift and Rust share many core ideas, but Swift presents them in a more convenient, higher-level, C-like way. Some claims are debatable, but the core idea still feels worth discussing. nmn.sh/blog/2023-10-02-swift…

The build iOS apps plugin for Codex has been updated! It now auto install and setup XcodeBuildMCP with everything you need for tests and UI agentic automation, and we added new App Intents skill to help you expose your features to iOS! Try it in the Codex app!
