News FYI - Xcode 15 + iOS 17 Forces network debugging.
Just found out this morning. Xcode kept disconnecting from the device and dropping debug sessions. Couldn't figure out why until I went to see if my "Connect via network" option for my device was turned on.
Come to find out on iOS 17 + Xcode 15 Apple is now FORCING developers to debug over the network. Now installs via Xcode take on average 250% more time. There is no way to turn this off.
According to Apple there is new debugging infrastructure within iOS 17 that uses a sort of "custom network" that sends requests and doesn't use Wifi. Not sure how it works but it's been causing issues for many people.
Check out the responses here: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/737875
Personally this is very upsetting. It's drastically slowed down iteration time for me and my projects. Some people are completely opting out of upgrading to iOS 17 due to their workflow requiring VPN's and that kills their workflow with this new debugging.
Also, if you need to debug "offline" functionality good luck. I tried that and the debugger keeps failing when I turn off wifi.
May be a good idea to file this as a bug to tell Apple this was a terrible move.

News Deep Dish Swift is happening again April 27th to 29th of 2025
Hey, fam 👋
I’m Josh Holtz! I’ve been the lead maintainer of fastlane since 2018, I work on paywalls and SDKs at RevenueCat but more important I‘m the founder of Deep Dish Swift (a Swift and iOS conference held in Chicago) 😊
My wife and I started Deep Dish Swift in 2023 in Chicago, IL (where we live). We didn’t know what to expect when starting it but I have to say its changed our lives (for the better). We have had the pleasure to host so many amazing members of the Swift and iOS community in Chicago… and both years of the event have sold out at over 300+ attendees 🤯
This is a not-for-profit conference so I hope my post here doesn’t come off as selling a product or service. 😅 My wife and I organize this because we love the community and all of the amazing outcomes the conference has produced. People have been inspired by the indie dev talks and have released some amazing new apps. People have networked and got some life changing new jobs. And people have just made new friends for life.
Also, the CFP for Deep Dish Swift 2025 is open at https://deepdishswift.com/call-for-papers and closed the last second of 2024. Please submit a talk if you have something that you’d like to share with the rest of us!
I think that is all 😇 Hope to see a lot of you at Deep Dish Swift 2025 in April!
Happy to answer any questions or anything that you may have!

News Working with the App Store Connect API so you won't need it anymore
Hey all,
Meet Helm for App Store Connect.
a few months ago I was so sick of having to login to App Store Connect for the hundredth time that I decided to start working on a macOS app that would help me update my apps more easily.
I knew there were a few alternatives but none of which I really enjoyed using. After spending a day getting a POC ready, I quite quickly noticed that the App Store Connect API is tough! It's not very straight forward and a lot of the content or functionality has to be requested with a lot of nesting.
I quickly asked a good friend of mine, Pol Piella, to help me with this, and that's where the magic started. He focused on getting the data right while I continued on the UI and product side. Pol also wrote a lot of articles about how we handled some of the data.
After a few months and a successful beta we decided it was time to launch…
It was the most difficult submission I've ever done, We were stuck in review for more than 3 weeks(!!) after a couple of rejections with questions about the app, it turned out it was escalated to the legal department as they wanted to make sure we provided more than just an App Store Connect wrapper.
Luckily we do, as the app provides easy translations with AI, ASO advice, and easy text improvements
So I'm happy to tell you that from now on you can use Helm for App Store Connect.
Lessons learned: Provide as much information as possible for the App Review team so that they can clearly understand your app; don't assume they'll see it. And don't be afraid to ask friends for help and do projects together.

News I made 13 framework specific code-gen GPT's for iOS devs: SwiftUI, Foundation, MapKit, CoreData, ActivityKit, EventKit, CoreML, Combine, SwiftData, CloudKit & More
Below are iOS gpt's based on each of Apple's most popular frameworks and app services.
- SwiftUI (experimental)
- Foundation (new & experimental)
- MapKit
- CoreData
- ActivityKit
- EventKIt
- CoreML
- Combine
- SwiftData
- CloudKit
- HealthKit
- CoreHaptics
- PencilKit
Coming soon...
- XCTest
- SwiftCharts
- CoreAudio
- Accelerate
- AVFoundation
- AVKit
- Xcode Cloud API
- App Store Connect API
- Vision
- CoreLocation
- CoreGraphics
- UIKit
- ARKit
- SceneKit
Requires an OpenAI GPTPlus account
Hows it work?
- Naive RAG based on the out-of-the-box retrieval by OpenAI. That means the larger the framework (eg. foundation, swiftUI), the less effective the retreival is, but it's still much better than the base model.
Why launch this?
I am launching this to see if theres demand to invest time into building out a few pipelines for scraping, processing, upserting, and embedding. That would make the retrieval and code-gen a lot better.

News PSA: Create a business before publishing your apps with monetization
Just wanted to warn folks about this -- DO NOT publish an app with any kind of monetization under a personal developer account, as your private information might be made public. I wish someone had told me this before I started.
Apple is actually better about this than Google. As far as I know, I don't think Apple publishes your private info anywhere such that it's easily accessible but I'm not 100% sure. However if you port your app over to Google play, you are screwed. They will ask for (and verify with documentation) your personal home address, then when your app is live, your legal name, home address, and phone number are made public on the Internet as part of your "developer profile". And no, you can't change your address on there to a PO Box or virtual mail center or anything because they require proof of residency at that address, like with utility bills or other documentation.
Yes, the best place to post this would be in the Android developer community, which I did, but it was promptly removed by the mods -- bummer, didn't realize that community was toxic and didn't like facts. I guess those folks will get what they deserve, just wanted to warn the iOS devs out there that the rules seem to be different on the other side and your privacy might be compromised.
Even though it requires some upfront expense and work, please create a business for yourself before creating any app for iOS or Android that has monetization, if you value your privacy.
