What's up with this Food Truck app, you ask? Well, it's a multiplatform SwiftUI app that showcases tones of new features and API — available as a sample code release on GitHub!

New SwiftUI sample projects have been released for both Swift Playgrounds on iPad and Xcode! They showcase many cool things like image grids, loading content from the network, working with gestures, utilizing device sensors, and more!

Every intern that I’ve worked with at Apple is a colleague, not folks we scapegoat when we don’t like something. Not a great look.

3 years at Apple! Feels like a lifetime... it blows my mind what I've gotten up to so far — Create ML, Xcode organizer window, Fruta sample project, and now Swift Playgrounds. So grateful to be working with and learning from such amazing folks! 😊

I love that Swift Playgrounds 4 unlocks so much potential of iPad — with Apple Pencil I can use
@Procreate
to draw some little assets, add them to my app, and utilize a simple “while loop” in Swift concurrency to power my “game engine” — with SwiftUI animating all changes!

If anyone is looking for game engine inspiration, it turns out just updating your data every quarter second with an animation in SwiftUI can do the trick!

Folks using Swift Playgrounds! There's a built-in way to quickly and easily submit feedback to us from app projects — use the "Send Feedback" action inside the "More..." menu!
If you run into issues or have suggestions to improve Playgrounds we're eager to receive feedback!

Advice for everyone for the future: take lots of spatial videos and start taking more panoramas. They are amazing on Apple Vision Pro
iPhone 15 Pro users running iOS 17.2 can capture life's precious moments in three dimensions with spatial video! Start building your spatial video library now so you can relive these memories on Apple Vision Pro early next year.

Fun fact: I designed and implemented this sheet in Swift Playgrounds as an app project! I handed it off to
@chrisbroughart
as design spec & first-pass implementation and he integrated it into the real app, what an awesome workflow!

My favorite thing about working at Apple is you never know if something doesn't make any sense because you're not technical enough to understand it, someone made a mistake or incorrect assumption, or you're simply just not allowed to know.

This is a general pro tip when talking to Apple employees. Let us know what you want to accomplish! Asking about the future is unfortunately where conversations become impossible to discuss plainly.
For those participating in Ask Apple events this week, I strongly suggest you not phrase your question as "will you ever..." or "any plans to...". We cannot answer those. Instead, please say what you're trying to do & why, and maybe ask if there are any options available now.

I used to retweet almost every cool project I came across in the past but worried it may be too spammy for folks. Nowadays it seems especially nice and important to share awesome work and sprinkle in well-meaning content into the timeline.
