Convert a project to the new JSON format from Terminal: xcodebuild -convert-project "Xcode Project" -project MyApp.xcodeproj And to go back to the old format: xcodebuild -convert-project pbxproj -project MyApp.xcodeproj Try it on a branch first.

ComingUp got 52 first-time downloads in 30 days. Indie devs: how do you market your app, and where did your first users actually come from? #buildinpublic #indiedev

Replying to @Developer__Rob
learned this the hard way: before you drop a keyword, type its first letters in App Store search. I dropped three that had no rank but were the top autocomplete suggestion. the 5 locales I changed lost 47% of search reach, the 10 I left alone grew 27%.

🚨 Going out of business sale 🚨 iOS dev course sales plummeted due to AI. It costs a lot of money to host my courses online and with sales at basically $0, I've cancelled that hosting. This closes down the site which unfortunately removes access to the courses. I want you to have the courses you purchased forever, so I've added the ability to download my course videos so they are yours. I've put my recent course on sale at a large discount so you can get it before it's gone and I've made old courses available for free if you want to grab those too. The school will be online until November 24th so you have a few weeks to download these videos at seanallen.teachable.com Thanks for learning with me and supporting my work over the years. I appreciate it.

Claude Code on desktop now works with the iOS simulator. Build and run your iOS app, and the simulator opens in a panel right next to your conversation. Available today in public beta.

ComingUp 4.5 is nearly ready 👀 A countdown matters most near the end exactly when you shouldn’t have to keep opening the app to check it. So I’ve brought the final hour to the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island.

The compiler is unable to type-check this expression in reasonable time; try breaking up the expression into distinct sub-expressions I hate this so much
