Sometimes Swift developers make fun of languages such as JavaScript that have vague concepts like "truthy" and "falsy", but Swift is packed with its own surprises and has plenty sharp edges of its own. In this talk I want to show some of the surprising behaviors of Swift – things that behave weirdly, traps you can easily fall into, and fixes to help you write better code. There will be lots of hands-on code samples everyone can try, and it will be a fun journey through the quirks of a language we all think we know.

When you have more app or game ideas than time to implement them, AI can help accelerate your workflow, generating code, assets, tests, and documentation. Let's explore the tactics and tooling I used at Nintendo and beyond to prototype game proof-of-concepts and iterate quickly in Swift & SwiftUI!

Everyone knows that animations are an easy way to add a touch of surprise and delight to your apps, but with SwiftUI we can add fine-grained effects to individual characters – we can literally animate letters one by one to bring our UI to life in ways that were impossible before iOS 18. In this talk I'll demonstrate how to use SwiftUI's TextRenderer protocol to build a range of effects that help bring your UI to life in fun, engaging ways.

In Swift, you can define identifiers not only in English but also in various natural languages. Recently, I released a Shogi app for all Apple platforms, including Apple Vision Pro. In this app, I wrote almost all identifiers in Japanese—except for reserved words and imported frameworks. In this talk, I'll share insights from my experience with Swift programming using Japanese identifiers.

High Dynamic Range imaging has the potential to change way we look at images in a way comparable to the move from HDTV change how we viewed television. This talk dives into the concept of dynamic range, how it is supported on Apple platforms, and quirks you'll run into that aren't covered in the documentation.

I decided to shut down my personally developed app, WebCollector, which had over 400K downloads. In this talk, I'll share the steps I took to ensure a smooth closure. Rather than simply shutting down the service, I took measures to help users properly save their data, provided clear announcements, and disclosed the process to close the app gradually. I'll also reflect on the importance of planning for app closure when running a Firebase-powered personal project.

The Drake Equation, used by astrophysicists to estimate the number of alien civilizations we can communicate with, has many unexpected lessons for our work of building apps. A takeaway from this equation is the huge number of stars in the universe, which implies a high probability that some of them harbor life. This talk will dive into the details of the equation and then apply it to iOS. Just as the number of stars provide a powerful scale factor, there are technical factors of your app that can multiply your impact. We'll derive a new equation to calculate the carbon footprint of an app, look at iOS memory management to speed up every CPU instruction, and calculate how to reduce bugs all using lessons from the Drake Equation. I will also discuss my own experience building a startup and how I think about the implications of these scale factors when designing developer tools that many large apps will use.
