`callAsyncJavaScript()` — a core `WKWebView` method — breaks when running on older Simulators than the one bundled with Xcode 16.3.

If you're using the Swift extension for VS Code, the extension has moved and you'll want to delete the old one and install the new one. marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemNa... It's moved from being a community project to being officially under Apple.

First contract of 2025....... falls through.

(I'm fine! But always planning 3-6 months in advance is something.)

I don't suppose you could use some Swift 6 training/workshops/consultation? I've worked with large teams all the way down to individuals. I'd love to talk!

Apple continues to make some of the most amazing TV shows with the some of the most amazing actors that have ever lived that most of us are never going to watch.

What I noticed is. My girlfriend was never exicted from the get go (based on trailers or Cover design). But 2 episodes later she is invested into it like no other TV-Series.

Weird… I got some more feedback from others. And they do see it.
I also restarted the phone 3 times and still cannot see it.
Maybe just a bad day for my iPhone. Time to rest :)

wtf. I can see it in my search results. but as usual it‘s not worth clicking on it. since it will not result into that specific screen and rather one level up😵‍💫

seems like iOS Settings is getting worse and worse with each new version

It's done. Now it’s your turn, Oracle.

We’ve submitted a formal petition to cancel the JavaScript trademark: it is generic, Oracle has abandoned it, and Oracle committed fraud on the USPTO during the last trademark renewal.

It's time to #FreeJavaScript.
