Weekly Newsletter Issue 1

Welcome to the first issue of the revamped Create with Swift newsletter!

After receiving feedback from numerous app developers, we have decided to change the format of the newsletter to a more traditional approach.

We aim not only to sum up the articles we publish during the week but also to provide a platform to showcase app developers we admire, their amazing apps, and the content they create.

Are you interested in a one-day workshop about creating apps for visionOS?

We are working on a one-day workshop to empower anyone to create apps for the new Apple Vision Pro. It could happen in May 2024, and be held in presence (most likely in Naples, Italy), online, or even both (as separate events).

And if you are curious... yes... we will have the Apple Vision Pro with us to test apps on the device!
