Paulo Andrade: ‘A WWDC 26 Update on Building a Mac-Assed App With SwiftUI’

Paulo Andrade: My last post on using SwiftUI to build a Mac-assed app got a bit more traction than I expected. It was mentioned on Mastodon several times , included in iOS Dev Weekly , inspired May’s edition of the Swift Blog Carnival , and was eventually mentioned by John Gruber , arguably the person most to blame for popularizing the term “Mac-assed”, on Daring Fireball . All this attention also resulted in an engineer from Apple reaching out with some notes. We exchanged a few emails, I filed a few radars, and now that WWDC 27 is behind us, this post serves as a small update to the issues I wrote about before. There’s real progress here, but I think my main point still stands: SwiftUI is now seven years old and it does not make it easy to create great Mac apps.
