🚨 Going out of business sale 🚨
iOS dev course sales plummeted due to AI. It costs a lot of money to host my courses online and with sales at basically $0, I've cancelled that hosting.
This closes down the site which unfortunately removes access to the courses.
I want you to have the courses you purchased forever, so I've added the ability to download my course videos so they are yours.
I've put my recent course on sale at a large discount so you can get it before it's gone and I've made old courses available for free if you want to grab those too.
The school will be online until November 24th so you have a few weeks to download these videos at seanallen.teachable.com
Thanks for learning with me and supporting my work over the years. I appreciate it.

nerdsniped, here is how ChaGPT app does it github.com/zats/chatgpt-keyb… they are not shying away from private APIs, TLDR:
- UIKeyboard.activeKeyboard provides the live keyboard view
- walk through superviews to find the rendered keyboard host, capture it as a snapshot
- UIKeyboard.setKeyboardAlpha:0 keeps keyboard active but makes it transparent
- transparent non-key window presents the snapshot above the app
- UIBlurEffect.effectWithVariableBlurRadius:imageMask: applies a progressive blur across the live app content and keyboard snapshot.

I still see people saying that agents produce bad code and don't know their way around SwiftUI
The thing is: it's definitely not a model problem anymore - all of the flagship models are beyond smart enough

A month ago I promised my iPhone Duo skill would get updated for Xcode 27.1
It's done: the hinge, fold & ArrangementView sketches are now real iOS 27.1 APIs, plus new rules for vertical bars & sheets
Grab it here: github.com/FloWritesCode/fwc…
Works nicely next to Apple's own skill
iPhone Duo is coming and your agents won't have a clue how to build for it
So I turned all the new documentation, APIs and developer sessions into an agent skill
Grab it here: github.com/FloWritesCode/fwc…
The skill will get updated as new APIs / Xcode 27.1 gets introduced

Yesterday I asked what everyone does while waiting for their agents
I try avoiding doomscrolling, so instead playing games is a nice alternative. The issue is that they pull you in and you miss your agents' updates...
So I (Cursor) built a Minecraft Mod that shows all ongoing + recently finished Cursors & Codex agents. It also lets you reply to them & start new agents.

87% of apps in our Apple Retention Messaging sample offer a discount or plan switch
Fewer than 1% of those offers get accepted
Before testing a bigger discount, try reminding people what they’re paying for

App Store Connect just dropped a new update.
You now can control how your app appears in search results, as well as set product page header images (like big apps have been able to for a while.
Another nice quality-of-life update is they made it so you can now finally preview what your app looks like in the App Store to see if your screenshots will actually line up right.

Configuration: list targets and schemes; switch scheme; list and switch destinations; get and update build settings and file compiler flags; add entitlement; set Info.plist key. Build and Run: build; build log; check file for issues; run; get console output; stop. Previews and Debugging: render preview; run code snippet; debugger commands. Testing: list and switch test plans; list tests; run all or some tests. Devices and Simulators: start session, with or without workspace; install and run app; send taps, swipes and typing; end session.

🚨 Announcement: I am looking for 100 channels to implement my 2027 YouTube playbook with!
Today, we officially open up applications for my next Accelerator cohort.
The program behind some of the fastest growing youtube channels in the world.
In October we will take 50-100 creators and give them:
- 8 weeks of intense training (all live with me)
- 30+ hours of material
- Our full playbook to dominate any niche
- Our ideation system for million view videos
- Personalized strategy support to build their plan
- Personalized feedback and execution help
We’ve grown channels from 1k views a video to 500k+
$100/month to $10,000/month (in months)
Had multiple creators post 5m+ videos DURING the cohorts. Even some 10m+.
Look at the endless testimonials on the site (from real channels you can look up haha)
Applications open today (link below).
Apply and if we think we can grow your channel, I’ll reach out personally.
Only about 10% of applications get into the program. We prioritize student results over everything.
It's not affordable for everyone, so I’ll also be giving away a free scholarship (funded by me)!
Just RT and like this post and I’ll pick a winner on Monday.
Can’t wait to see the next group of creators go through our program and dominate 2027. ❤️

This drawOn symbol effect is easy to take for granted, but it was actually a lot of work to get right.
1. SF symbols are not strokes. If you look closely at the signature, not all portions of the path are the same width.
2. Moving along the path and naively filling it would look awful! Consider filling along curves where one side of the path is shorter than the other. You want the animation to fill gracefully, but there's nothing that connects the two sides of the path.
The solution was to annotate each symbol with these "railroad track" guides
