Welcome to this week's edition of our newsletter.

Just minutes after sending the previous issue, which previewed the imminent release of iOS 26.2, you may have received a notification prompting you to update your iPhone.

Apple didn’t slow down.

This week, iOS 26.3 beta 1 is already in developers’ hands, giving us an early look at what’s coming next. Among the changes are a new direct iOS-to-Android transfer tool, expanded notification forwarding to third-party devices, and updated Weather wallpapers in the lock screen customization options.

Non-Sendable First Design

Matt argues for designing Swift code around non-Sendable types by default, introducing Sendable and actors only when crossing isolation boundaries to keep concurrency simpler and more intentional.

Stretchable Header in SwiftUI for Vertical and Horizontal ScrollView

Artem explains how to build a stretchable header in SwiftUI that enlarges or shrinks based on scroll position, whether in a vertical or horizontal ScrollView, using geometry readers and view offset tracking.

Stretchable Header in SwiftUI for Vertical and Horizontal ScrollView → Livsy Code

Greetings, traveler! Stretchy headers and elastic overscroll effects have become a familiar part of modern iOS interfaces. They add visual feedback, reinforce the scroll direction, and make content feel more responsive and alive. With newer APIs, the platform now offers a clean solution — and with the right abstraction, the same behavior can be made

Prefume

The amount of work that goes into creating a single perfume often goes unnoticed, especially by those who aren’t deeply immersed in the world of fragrance. This can make it difficult to understand the real differences between scents, how long they last, and even when we last wore a particular one.

Prefume, developed by Anatole, is a perfect example of what we like to call a focused app: an app built for a niche audience that sparks curiosity, inspires passion, and elevates a specific hobby. The interface is simple and clean, enriched with subtle animations that make the experience both enjoyable and intuitive. Every aspect is presented clearly and thoughtfully, resulting in an app that feels personal, intentional, and made with care.

That’s all for this issue and we’ve got one more coming: a special year-end wrap-up edition, our final newsletter of the year.

After that, we’ll take a short break and be back in your inbox on January 9th with the next one.

We can’t wait to see what you will Create with Swift.

See you next week!
