iOS Dev Tools: ConsentBus, FoundationModelsKit, Agent Island
Hey! π I’m coming back after some time off from the newsletter, and I’d like to share a few updates! π£π₯ Regarding the iOS Dev Tools newsletter: as I shared last time, the website has a new redesign. You or a friend can now easily submit a new tool here! Regarding my other 2 newsletters: I merged Indie App Devs and Those Who Swift into one. It’s going to be easier to manage everything. So Those Who Swift becomes a twice-per-week newsletter.
I’ve also launched the Those Who Swift website. You can submit your own articles to be shared in the newsletter, and if you’d like, you can also write and publish an article on our blog. Lastly, we have a new team member on the Those Who Swift team, Divya Ravi, Senior iOS Engineer at Unity. Her weekly insights are a huge addition for us! π Subscribe to THOSE WHO SWIFT if you haven’t already. Thank you for reading, your support is a huge motivation. New things are coming, slowly but surely! ❤️ ConsentBusLightweight Swift package that sits between your app’s consent UI and your third-party SDKs. Why you will like it:
