SiriKit Is Officially Dead: What the App Intents Mandate Means for Your App
Apple formally deprecated SiriKit at WWDC 2026. That’s not a surprise — App Intents has been the recommended path for a few years — but the framing changed: apps that skip App Intents are now described as “invisible” to the new Siri, Spotlight, and Shortcuts, not just missing a nice-to-have feature. If voice, search, or…

Indie iOS Monetization in 2026: Subscriptions Won, and Apple Just Handed You New Distribution Tools
The “charge $2.99 once and hope for volume” era of the App Store has been fading for years, but 2026 is the year the alternative fully solidified into a repeatable playbook.

Xcode 27: What’s Actually Useful in Apple’s Agentic IDE Overhaul
Xcode 27 is the most aggressively “AI-first” release the IDE has had, and it’s easy to be skeptical after a few years of overhyped coding assistants. Having spent time with it, some of it is genuinely useful for day-to-day iOS work, some of it is early, and one change — dropping Intel support entirely —…

Xcode 26.3’s Agentic AI: What Claude and Codex Inside Xcode Actually Change for iOS Developers
Xcode 26.3, released in February 2026, is the first version where AI agents are a first-class part of Apple’s IDE rather than a plugin bolted on the side. Anthropic’s Claude Agent and OpenAI’s Codex are both built in, connected through the Model Context Protocol, and able to autonomously explore a project, write code, run the…
