In this episode, we explore the exciting and rapidly changing landscape of iOS development, as we discuss the potential impact of AI, machine learning, and AR glasses on the future of mobile apps. We also make predictions about what Apple might unveil at WWDC 2023, and speculate about the secret plans they may have in store. With a mix of humor, quirkiness, and expert analysis, this podcast episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the latest trends and developments in iOS app development.

swiftpackageindex.com is the place to find Swift packages. 

• over 5,000 packages indexed now, you’ll find a package that can help. 
• help you make better decisions about your dependencies.
•  host DocC-based documentation for package authors.

You can see how well maintained every package is, what platforms and Swift versions it’s compatible with based on real-world build data, how many other dependencies it will bring in and much more. Unlike an open-source library, running an open-source website requires ongoing time for maintenance and supporting package authors in addition to the time we spend on new features. Our work is primarily funded by you - the Swift community
If the site has helped you find a package, or if you want to support a community-run open-source project, please go to swiftpackageindex.com, look for the pink heart, and join over a hundred other people who support our work through GitHub sponsors.
