We are back!
What a couple of weeks it’s been! WWDC25 delivered some truly exciting announcements, and we couldn’t wait to reconnect with you and share the excitement about it through this edition of our newsletter.
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for Beer with Swift – WWDC25 Special Edition in Cupertino. It was amazing to connect in person, chat about all the big reveals, and enjoy some great company (and, of course, cold beers).
Whether you watched every keynote live or are still catching up, we got you covered—right here in your inbox from a week ago. If you missed it, here it is:

While we’ve already covered the major highlights from Apple’s big event, this is just the beginning. Over the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing more in-depth articles exploring the latest and greatest from Apple.

Tool calling with Apple Intelligence
Alex explains how developers can enhance on-device large language models with custom Swift tools letting their apps invoke system APIs or services (like HealthKit or network calls) and feed the real results back into the AI for richer responses.

I Tried Xcode 26 New AI Coding Assist So You Don´t Have To!
Karin reviews the new Coding Assist introduced in Xcode 26 beta, demonstrating features like code understanding, generation, refactoring, and limitations and sharing practical tips for effective use.
The Ultimate Guide to the Foundation Models Framework
Mohammad explores the usage of the new Apple’s framework FoundationModels
showing how developers can leverage now on-device large language model (LLM) directly in the app.

Keeping Score with Liquid Glass & TabView Bottom Accessory
Danny explores how to implement an interface in SwiftUI using Apple’s new Liquid Glass design language introduced at WWDC 2025.

Exploring tab bars on iOS 26 with Liquid Glass
Donny explores how Apple applies Liquid Glass to Tab Bars and new behaviors like minimizing on scroll and how developers can adopt these with SwiftUI modifiers.

Exploring WebView and WebPage in SwiftUI for iOS 26
Simon explores Apple’s new native WebView
component in SwiftUI, which simplifies embedding web content directly within apps without relying on UIKit.
DeskMinder
This lightweight macOS utility, developed by Dmytro, allows you to set up short, on-screen reminders with a single click, making it easy to stay on top of quick tasks without interrupting your workflow. A timer widget remains visible on your screen for as long as you need it, and when the countdown ends, the entire screen blurs to draw your attention to the task, after which the timer is automatically dismissed.
DeskMinder also gives you the possibility of synchronizing the content with the Apple Reminders app, enabling you to transfer all your existing reminders directly into the utility for a simpler experience. The user interface is not only smooth and intuitive but also showcases remarkably fluid animations that align beautifully with Apple’s new Liquid Glass design system, introduced at WWDC25.

This article by Sebastiann de With is a must-read, considering it was published before the announcement of Liquid Glass.
It explores a shift beyond flat design toward interfaces that feel alive, glass-like surfaces that respond to light, depth, and motion envisioning a future where digital elements take inspiration from the physicality of the device itself, for a richer, more immersive and cohesive UI language.

We can’t wait to see what you will Create with Swift.
See you next week!
