Weekly Newsletter Issue 93
Weekly newsletter summing up our publications and showcasing app developers and their amazing creations.
Welcome to this week's edition of our newsletter.
It’s been a week packed with news and developments in AI. Apple’s Xcode 26.3 Release Candidate introduces support for agentic coding, letting developers leverage powerful models like Anthropic’s Claude Agent and OpenAI’s Codex directly within Xcode to break down tasks, explore documentation, build, test, and iterate more autonomously.
P.S.: We need to mention that the animation in the welcome screen is astonishing...
Apple shared insights on how agentic coding works through the "Meet agentic coding in Xcode", highlighting how agents can be orchestrated via the Model Context Protocol.
And in a recent Code-along session, Apple showed how coding intelligence in Xcode 26 can help with writing, generating tests, fixing errors, and navigating code, setting the stage for increasingly intelligent workflows.

Beyond the Human: Designing with Non-Human Personas in Mobile Apps
Giselle discusses how to expand traditional UX design by including non-human personas like systems, environments, and infrastructures that your app interacts with so decisions are informed not just by human users but by the broader impact of your designs.

Designing Emerging Technologies in 2026

Indie App of the Week
Couch
Because of this newsletter, whenever we come across an article that spikes our interest but requires a moment of quiet and uninterrupted reading, we tend to keep the tab open, resulting in hundreds of tabs open simultaneously.
Couch, developed by Alexander and Laura-Adriana, is an app that lets you save articles to read later and, more importantly, keep track of the passages that matter most to you. What we really appreciated is the experience, familiar and intuitive, like a native app. Couch takes full advantage of Apple’s latest technologies, from Apple Intelligence for context-aware summaries and tags to widgets, seamless iCloud sync across devices, and a frictionless in-app reading experience that makes everything easy and enjoyable.
Alexander Johmann
With agentic workflows now integrated into Xcode and intelligence features evolving rapidly, the conversation shifts from what AI can do with to how developers shape, use and guide it. This echoes the theme in "How I Stopped Resisting AI and Started Teaching It", a reflection on moving beyond fear and embracing AI as a collaborator we intentionally instruct rather than simply invoke.

How do we balance autonomy and control when teaching AI to build and iterate with us?
We can’t wait to see what you will Create with Swift.
See you next week!
