These are just a few ruff ideas. I’m super happy to develop a bit further any of these if you think they fit into your conference.
Apple: The good, the bad, and the ugly.
We all love Apple for their technology and their products. We sometimes dislike them for some of their behaviors. At time, we might hate them, because they are — as Steve once said it in another context — uuuuuugly. Let’s get into what Apple can and cannot do, and where they really really should be better. This talk will not always be about Technology, obviously.
SwiftUI GridViews versus UICollectionView
What’s the point of still doing UIKit in 2025? Is there a cost with huge Collection Views? I have the feeling the times are gone, where it would be a big benefit. I can’t prove it yet, but I’m sure out of preparing such a talk, we’ll all gain some learnings…
Multi-Apple-Platform Apps / How to use Catalyst
Years ago I gave a talk about how to re-use code between iOS & macOS. It was feasible but cumbersome, because you basically had to match UIView and NSView (as one example) with Defines everywhere. Since 2019 Apple brought us the possibility to simply develop an iPad app which will also work on the Mac. I’ll show you how that works and how you can take the most out of it.
Decomposing the World (or another) Sample App for visionOS (or another Apple Platform)
We’ve all seen the first sample App that Apple gave us in 2023 for visionOS: Hello World. I will decompose it to explain you various visionOS (some simply iOS) technologies.
visionOS step one: Make your App Compatible before native
Maybe you expect any apps to be fully in 3D and super glassy, but a lot of time, just having a regular iOS App on your Vision Pro is just really cool.
