Swift Developer Podcast - App development and discussion

This week’s episode discusses AI tools and their applications for developers. The hosts share their experiences using AI chatbots, highlighting their usefulness for code generation, problem-solving guidance, and code explanation. They also discuss the benefits of AI tools for finding code snippets and remembering API names.AI tools are useful for developers, especially when dealing with outdated or obscure technologies, as they can provide accurate and relevant information. While Apple’s predictive code completion in Xcode has its limitations, it is a step towards integrating AI into developer tools. However, the lack of progress on Apple’s promised chat-based tool, Swift Assist, raises concerns about Apple’s ability to compete in the rapidly evolving AI landscape.Mentioned in this episodeDeveloper DuckCursorGitHub Copilot for XcodeClean My MacFollow Peterhttps://peterwitham.comFollow Geoffhttps://cocoatype.comBecome a Patreon member and help this Podcast survivehttps://www.patreon.com/compileswift Thanks to our monthly supporters Emerson Warwick Marko Wiese Adam Wulf bitSpectre Arclite ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

App intents can be exposed in various ways beyond shortcuts, such as custom controls, focus filters, and spotlight actions. They enable users to perform specific actions without launching the app, making them more accessible and user-friendly. App intents can also be used to configure widgets, interact with hardware, and handle preferences, providing a seamless user experience across different platforms.(00:00) - Introduction (04:20) - App Intents (06:57) - Become a member (07:17) - Some examples (16:31) - Action Centered Design (17:52) - Get some Coffee (20:04) - Examples from Barc (21:39) - What makes a good App Intent (27:26) - Creating an App Intent (30:03) - Using Queries and Configuration (32:36) - Get SetApp (55:35) - Cocoatype.com (55:38) - Support the podcast Mentioned in this episodeThe way we interact with apps is changing, so should the way they are designedWWDC Developer video for getting started with App IntentsBecome a Patreon member and help this Podcast survivehttps://www.patreon.com/compileswiftFollow me on Mastodonhttps://iosdev.space/@Compileswift Thanks to our monthly supporters Emerson Warwick Marko Wiese Adam Wulf bitSpectre Arclite ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
