Hello Bluesky community 👋

I like documenting iOS dev events where I meet and hang out with other developers, like this one that was hosted this week by Apple in Stockholm 🙌

I also enjoy building in public and sharing the progress of the indie journey @jagcesar.bsky.social and I are currently on 😍

Cesar and I happy to attend the Apple workshop in Stockholm

Can't believe THIS is why I had to spend a couple of hours debugging a visionOS widget. Did I miss a video? 🥲

Could only get .systemExtraLargePortrait to show using .systemExtraLarge in the switch.

#visionOS #indieDev #OS26 #visionOS26 #wwdc25 #widget #xcode

Extra Large Portrait widget showing "Apple" in visionOS simulator

Code snippet:
case .systemLarge: Text("Apple")
case .systemExtraLarge: Text("Potato")
case .systemExtraLargePortrait: Text("Beans")

Error message in Xcode: 'systemLarge' is unavailable in visionOS

Had so much fun at #Designerswhoart last night!

Drinks, craft and a bunch of inspiring people and groovy music, what’s not to like?! 3 hours well spent ✨❤️

Thank you #handshakeatconfig2025

Biggest bonus was running in to well familiar faces like @lindadong.bsky.social and @viditb.bsky.social 🥰

Yesterday I had the opportunity to spend the evening at @github.com Headquarters Co-organized by @figma.com , making it a perfect hangout for designers and developers alike.

Oh, and there was some swag as well hehe

#Config2025 #config25

On a table with a vase with tulips are some swag placed: Blue hat with orange embroidery print, github pin in black and yellow, sciencey github sticker and figma pin in multiple colors on one side and shiny on the other.

All the sessions and keynote starts today, yesterday was badge pick up & mingle, similar to early check in at infinite loop.

There were sticker stations, so I can’t take the credit, but I completely agree!

Adding my app icon sticker however, is something I almost always do 🥰

Sofia @fosiadesign.bsky.social · May 7

Swag from the swag booth at #Config2025: Sweater, pin and “Practice, a book about design & craft by Figma “

Great way to personalize your badge for ice breakers. Wether you’re looking for likeminded people or to broaden your perspective with the opposite 👏

Swag mentioned in post neatly lined up with San Francisco skyline in the background

Badge with stickers: “extrovert”, “developer” and the Ambre icon sticker
