You might have heard Xcode 26.3 added Agentic Coding support. But Apple has also introduced an official MCP if you want to continue using Claude Code / Codex! 😍
So you don't have to switch your workflow to benefit—just teach Claude/Codex. Something for everyone in this release, really neat! 🙌🍎🤖
Here's the doc explaining it in detail: 👇

Apple just shipped agentic coding in Xcode 26.3 🤯👇

New update! 👀👇
Get started with TelemetryDeck in just 4 minutes!!
Apple Intelligence comes to file organization! 🧠
Pleydia Organizer 2.0 uses on-device AI to crack tough filenames:
• "Ranma 12" → tries "Ranma 1/2", "Ranma ½"
• Overlooked typos, weird characters
• 100% private, runs on your Mac

Forgot to switch tabs? No problem! 🎬→📺
Pleydia Organizer 2.0 now auto-detects TV show files and switches to the Series tab for you.
No more re-dragging because you dropped on Movies by mistake.
Just drag & drop. We'll figure out the rest.

@dandylyons I prompted it. But a) you can set that the background shall be transparent explicitly (a setting on the UI). And b) you can also give it a flat/combined image and ask it to give you just the background/foreground part, works pretty well.
Only downside is that you don’t get a vector out. But I’m okay with that. I can still draw one later if it’s really necessary. The goal here is to iterate and get inspiration for an improved icon and many variations you can test before you settle.
My indie app icon redesign workflow: iterate in GPT-Image 1.5, separate bg/fg layers, combine in Icon Composer.
$20 and an hour later? Way less ugly @Pleydia Organizer icon ✨
Budget design for devs that actually works. Thoughts?
@jayfm @FocusBeatsApp That’s a cool idea for a future update! 👍
Some of my friends say I'm a perfectionist. But I'm also the one who shipped this ugly app icon for my app @FocusBeatsApp. 😅
It was about time to replace it with something fresh. It took me a full day to create this new one, what do you think? 🎨
Back to adding features & user requests to finalize the update! ✨
🎉 HandySwiftUI 2.0 is out!
Major new async handling features: AsyncView for automatic state management, AsyncState/AsyncResult for manual control, plus onFirstAppear modifier & more.
All fully documented with real-world examples from my apps. 👇
Just created the app icon for my upcoming Vision Pro app. What do you think? 🤔🎨
Two great Vision Pro videos dropped featuring Posters 2.0! 🎬
📺 Himels Tech: 19-min developer interview on visionOS evolution:

🎄 A Vision Experiment: Featured in Christmas "Top Apps" roundup:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmLyfi9wnpw
Same app, two totally different angles. Love it!
TIL: Vapor's `maximumActiveConnections` is per Event Loop, not per Worker! 🤯
Thought I had 16 Redis connections. Actually had 128 potential (2 dynos × 8 cores × 8/pool)
Finally fixed those longstanding rare 500 errors in TranslateKit! 🙏 🤞
Posters got featured in "A Vision Experiment" as one of the top Apple Vision Pro apps! 🎬
Ty showcased it in his Christmas season roundup – focusing on how widgets can turn bare walls into dynamic movie galleries.
7 minutes showing the full experience. Really appreciate the love!
I got interviewed INSIDE Vision Pro for the first time! 🥽
Himels Tech and I talked about hitting visionOS limitations with my Posters app, waiting for Apple to lift them, and finally rebuilding everything for 26.
It's wild seeing how these spatial personas improved!
TranslateKit 4.1.0 is here! 🇨🇦
New: Canadian English support + Cumulative Selection!
Finally select localization entries across different filters/searches. Perfect for batch operations on 100s of entries. 💪
The best app translation tool continues to get better! 👇

We used to complain about poor docs from Apple – and for good reason. But they have genuinely improved in recent years!
One I read today shows migration from XCTest to Swift Testing – with side-by-side code samples making it easy! Good job. 👏
Take a look: 👀👇
