In this episode, we'll discuss two main topics: the new Apple Vision Pro hardware and the changes coming to the App Store. We start by diving into the new EU Court rulings regarding Apple's monopoly and the requirement for allowing third-party app stores on iOS devices. Apple has made this confusing intentionally, and there are new terms and conditions that developers have to agree to, which involves giving Apple money for doing nothing. This move has raised concerns about security and privacy issues.Moving on to the US side, changes are coming to the App Store. Apple now allows linking outside the App Store to other payment methods, but developers must still agree to new rules and conditions and pay Apple for this privilege. The complexity of these changes is causing confusion and frustration among developers.Next, we shift our focus to the Apple Vision Pro hardware. The device has finally shipped, and initial impressions.Please leave a review and show your supporthttps://lovethepodcast.com/compileswiftYou can also show your support by buying me a coffeehttps://peterwitham.com/bmcFollow me on Mastodon@Compileswift@iosdev.space Thanks to our monthly supporters Arclite ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

A conversation between two developers discussing Bushel, an app developed by Leo. Leo explains Bushel is designed as a valuable tool for developers, allowing users to spin up an entire VM of an operating system, trial something, and, if it doesn't work, delete the VM without causing any issue to the primary system.Bushel also uses the newly released Swift Data for managing database functions. Leo shares his experiences building the app, including challenges initially using 'User Defaults' for data storage and navigating the sandboxing system.As mentioned in this episode Leo DionGet BushelEmpower Apps PodcastPlease leave a review and show your supporthttps://lovethepodcast.com/compileswiftYou can also show your support by buying me a coffeehttps://peterwitham.com/bmcWould you like to advertise on this Podcast?https://peterwitham.com/podpromoFollow me on Mastodon@Compileswift@iosdev.space(00:00) - Introduction (00:16) - Leo Dion (00:46) - Bushel (08:21) - Goodbye Intel (15:44) - SetApp - 200+ Mac Apps (16:58) - VM Security (19:10) - Pricing (21:03) - Building Bushel (26:12) - Trade Coffee (28:25) - SwiftData (38:13) - Combine (41:52) - Go Get Bushel (43:13) - Thanks Leo (43:41) - Support the podcast (44:03) - Rate and review Thanks to our monthly supporters Arclite ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
