Those Who Swift May 20   READ IN APP   Weekly note ✏️ Hello! 👋 This week I partnered with Shannon Ash. She’s been writing CVs since COVID-19 hit, helping people position themselves better and land new jobs. Six years later, her work is still producing real results. Some results: 87% of her clients landed interviews within 2 weeks of applying. 70% reported a salary increase, up to 35%, while securing their new role. Some went from months, up to 4 months, of silence to multiple offers at once. Here are few testimonials: The clients she mainly works with are usually dealing with one of these problems: Ghosted - they’ve been applying for 2+ months with zero replies and no interviews. Pivoting their career - they’re in their late 30s or 40s with a decade of expertise, but don’t know how to translate their wins or skills into a new industry or niche. Aspiring to be a leader - they’re aiming for the C-Suite or a Senior Lead role, but their current CV still looks like a list of tasks, not a record of impact. The CV changes with seniority. Procrastinating daily - they’re unhappy where they are, but the mental weight of updating their CV is a lot. They keep putting it off and don’t have the time to even start. Offer: Cover Letter and CV: a positioning statement letter, which is Shannon’s spin on a cover letter, plus a CV. Fully optimized LinkedIn profile to match the new narrative. Price: 450€ 📌 Important - this offer has limited spots: June only 5 spots available. July only 5 spots available. August only 10 spots available. Interested? - Just reply to this email or contact me at - thisweekinswift@gmail.com Swift Around the Web 🌐 Deprecating Your Own Convenience API Majid Jabrayilov shows a neat way to stop compatibility helpers from becoming permanent dead code using Swift availability annotations. The key idea: deprecate wrappers when the new minimum OS makes them unnecessary, then obsolete them later so the compiler forces cleanup. Read more.📍Level: Intermediate A Feature Flags System In Swift Artem Mirzabekian shows how feature flags can grow from simple booleans into real app infrastructure while staying type-safe, thread-safe, and predictable. The most useful part is the full architecture: typed features, priority-based resolution, local overrides, SwiftUI environment injection, and a built-in toggle screen for QA and testing. Read more.📍Level: Advanced Coding 👨‍💻 Tracking App Store Purchases With Server Notifications Muhammad Azam shows how App Store Server Notifications complete the StoreKit 2 story by letting your backend react to renewals, refunds, billing issues, expirations, and purchases outside the app. The most useful part is the payload breakdown: Apple sends nested signed JWTs, so the key is decoding signedPayload, then signedTransactionInfo and signedRenewalInfo, to extract transaction and renewal state cleanly. Read more.📍Level: Intermediate ContentUnavailableView In SwiftUI - Complete Guide With Examples Sagar Unagar shows why ContentUnavailableView is more than a simple empty-state helper: it gives SwiftUI apps a consistent, accessible way to handle no-content, failed-load, and no-results screens without rebuilding the same UI each time. The most useful part is the practical range, from the built-in .search variant to custom actions and recovery flows, while keeping empty states restrained and platform-native. Read more.📍Level: Intermediate Apple 🍏 Coming Bright Up - WWDC26 Apple is teasing WWDC26 with a short preview, calling it a week of technology, creativity, and community that will be online and free. It is more of a save-the-date than a technical update, but confirms Apple is starting the WWDC ramp-up. Read more.📍 Introducing The 2026 Apple Design Award Finalists Apple has announced the 2026 Apple Design Award finalists, highlighting 36 apps and games for innovation, ingenuity, and technical achievement. It is a good shortlist to browse before WWDC, especially for a quick look at the product quality and design direction Apple is celebrating this year. Read more.📍 Other cool stuff 🧰 Using Xcode MCP With Claude Code Daniel Saidi shows how Xcode 26.3’s built-in MCP server gives Claude Code direct awareness of project structure, schemes, builds, and tests instead of treating Swift files as isolated text. Read more.📍Level: Intermediate Understanding Basic Animations In SwiftUI Natascha Fadeeva explains the two core SwiftUI animation paths: animation(_:value:) for view-driven implicit animation and withAnimation for explicit state-driven changes. The most useful part is the decision guide, including when to use each approach and the iOS 17+ completion handler for follow-up work after an animation finishes. Read more.📍Level: Beginner AI 🤖 How Claude Code Works In Large Codebases: Best Practices And Where To Start Anthropic says Claude Code works best in large codebases when teams invest in the harness around the model, especially CLAUDE.md files, hooks, skills, plugins, LSP integrations, MCP servers, and subagents. The most useful takeaway is practical: live agentic search avoids stale indexes, but results improve when the codebase gives Claude clear local context and path-specific expertise. Read more.📍Level: Intermediate Tutorials 📒 How To Recognize Text In Images With Vision In Swift Khoa Pham shows how Apple’s newer Vision API makes text recognition cleaner by replacing callback-heavy VNRecognizeTextRequest flows with the async RecognizeTextRequest introduced in iOS 18 and macOS 15. The key takeaway: avoid fragile continuation wrappers around the older synchronous API, and use the new async request model when your deployment target allows it. Read more.📍Level: Intermediate Optimizing For VoiceOver And Voice Control Bas Broek shows how an accessibility change that feels cleaner for VoiceOver can make Voice Control noticeably worse, especially when combined elements turn separate buttons into hidden actions. The key takeaway: improving one assistive technology can hurt another, so the better solution is sometimes the more balanced one, not the most “optimized” version. Read more.📍Level: Advanced Video 🎥 Understanding Swift Result Builders-The Power Behind ViewBuilder Stuart Lynch starts with ViewBuilder in familiar SwiftUI containers, then builds custom result builders from scratch to show how declarative syntax works under the hood. The most useful part is the hands-on progression from simple string builders to conditional checklist generation with buildExpression, buildOptional, and buildEither. Watch here.📍Level: Intermediate Claude Code Just Dropped /Goal (Master It In 8 Minutes) This walkthrough explains /goal as a hands-off Claude Code workflow, where one model does the work and a second agent checks whether the finish line has been met. The key takeaway: goal conditions should be specific and verifiable, with turn or time limits to avoid wasted tokens. Watch here.📍Level: Beginner Thanks for reading Those Who Swift!
