A big part of my day, especially as I write less code, is diving into Instruments to optimize performance.
To speed things up, I’m adding trace recording + analysis to Antoine van der Lee’s SwiftUI Agent Skill.
SwiftUI performance tuning is about to get much easier 👀
Gigs launches tomorrow and we can't wait to get what we've been building into everyone's hands!
One of my favorite features? Getting reminders when ticket sales go live so you never miss out. Funnily enough, I got one this morning!
Today's your last chance to pre-order 👇
🏆 Every gig tells a story. With our new app Gigs, you'll unlock exclusive achievements as you build your concert history.
Your memories deserve more than a ticket stub! Preorder the app now!

🎟️ Your gig history deserves better than a spreadsheet.
CSV imports are coming to Gigs: bring every concert, every show, every memory with you.
Beta is open. Link below 👇
We’ll have some news to share very soon, so make sure you sign up to the mailing list to be among the first to try the app.

Just added support for importing your Concert Archives data to Gigs!
✨ It runs as a Background Task, so you can leave the page (or even the app) and we’ll keep importing everything.
Did you know you can trigger a GitHub Actions workflow via the GitHub API using a repository_dispatch event?
Pair that with the new App Store Connect webhooks and you can react to things like an app release and automatically run tasks in your repo.
Automation magic ✨
We don’t want adding concerts to Gigs to feel like admin.
That’s why we’re building different ways to quickly find and pre-fill the right event details so you don’t have to type everything manually.
Here’s one of them: Event Suggestions 🎟️
📆 Last chance to get your tickets for my workshop on how to improve your SwiftUI App's performance this evening!
I'll walk you through real-world performance bottlenecks and show you how you can diagnose and fix them using Instruments!

If you are completely new to instruments or just want to elevate your SwiftUI app's performance, make sure you don't miss my workshop next week!

Have you ever wrapped up an instrumented recording session and then thought, “Wait… what did I do first, and when?”
Start using the os_log instrument and make your debugging sessions way easier to untangle.
💪 A nice perk? You get this for free when you use Apple’s Unified Logging System.
Sooo happy to see @joshdholtz.com’s IndieDevMonday back! And what a return — with @strasser.bsky.social as the featured dev 🙌
Honored to be mentioned alongside so many talented friends ❤️

😫 Have you ever tried to diagnose a performance issue with Instruments and found that all symbols were missing?
💡 This happens more often than you think, but it has a very easy fix that not a lot of people know about!

🆕 Xcode 26.1.1 is out now!
👀 Seems like this update has a big focus on Instruments bug fixes, especially finally enabling the Processor Trace instruments for iPhone 17 devices!

👀 Have you run out of free minutes on GitHub Actions hosted runners? Or want to look for a faster alternative where you have control over what's installed on the machine?
I have teamed up with AWS to bring you this FREE webinar!

👀 Have you ever struggled to diagnose and fix a performance issue in your app? Or opened Instruments to understand how your app is performing but didn’t know where to start?
This workshop is for you — join me on the 3rd of December!

I sent a new issue of the iOS CI Newsletter last night packed with content and news from the community, here's what's inside:
🖥️ Saving thousands of dollars with self-hosted runners
💨 Faster Xcode builds
🚀 New App Store Connect features
🧪 Selective Testing
www.ioscinewsletter.com/issues/79
Apple just announced two new improvements to App Store Connect (and soon to Helm 😜) that I am super excited about:
- You can now submit additional items for review, even if you have an app version under review.
- Offer Codes FINALLY work for In App Purchases

Here's another reason to stop using print statements in your code and start using OSLog instead!
💪 You can access os_log events from instruments to give you a better chance at fixing those pesky performance issues.
Back home after an amazing few days at @swiftleeds.co.uk! It somehow gets better every year — from giving a talk to karaoke nights, baby Guinness, and the best gyros in Leeds (twice! 😅).
Huge thanks Adam Rush & team for another great year — can’t wait for the next one! ❤️
📆 Friendly reminder that I am running a FREE webinar this evening for iOS CI Newsletter subscribers!
Join me to build a CI/CD pipeline that builds, archives and deploys your iOS app!
streamyard.com/watch/my73mj...
AI agents running your end-to-end tests, better ways to debug, and a few breaking changes you really don’t want to miss on your GitHub Actions workflows.
✨ That’s what’s inside issue #75, kindly sponsored by @codemagic.io.
