@jimmylittle I’m sure that’s one way to look at it but it all depends on your point of view 🙂 I want to be able to watch the same movie with my wife sitting in the same room on two different Vision Pro headsets since we both want huge displays but still want to sit together — as far as I can tell, that might not be possible with Vision Pro.

Nor would sharing headsets with other people work too well, as far as I can tell (given that I haven’t tried the headset myself) since each headset appears to be customised for a particular person in terms of the light seal etc.

So yes, remote sharing would work fine, sure, but that’s not what *I* am looking for 🙂

@davemark @techviator

@davemark @techviator I was waiting to see what Apple would do with regards to sharing content between users and as far as I can tell, that’s not a priority for them — at least not with the first release. So personally, I’m more inclined to go with Meta for the time being since the headset is cheaper, will probably work for most of my use cases, and I can wait and see what Apple does in a couple of years …

But on a philosophy level (if the stated philosophy is genuine and not just words), I agree more with Meta — I want mixed reality to be about sharing, not about people sitting alone with their headsets 😛

@_holger Just saw this WWDC video:
https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2023-10189

I think that covers everything about how to migrate from a Core Data project to SwiftData and how to co-exist with a Core Data project. So probably the one you need (to watch, I mean) 🙂

@denisdepalatis That’s exactly what happened to me 🙂 I tried many times but would just get the DMG for the simulators and the manifest. Then I changed the items I was trying to download (I was trying to only get the iOS simulator and Xcode) and suddenly the XIP file downloaded …

I thought I was the only one since I couldn’t find any reference to this issue at that time …

@denisdepalatis Sure thing 🙂 Let me know if there’s any way I can help you figure out what is going on. I know how annoying it is when you’re the only one seeing the issue …

I had a couple of issues like that getting Xcode 15 downloaded — nobody else seemed to be having issues but I was 😛

@denisdepalatis OK, I did a quick test with a work project by opening the project, staging changes I’d made, committing them, and then pushing them to GitHub from Xcode 15 beta.

All seemed to go smoothly.

Only thing is, I was prompted as to whether I wanted to trust the RSA fingerprint for the GitHub repo since I’d never used that repo from Xcode before. But other than that, it worked. And the commit did appear on GitHub …

Are you getting any error message when it fails for you?

New SwiftUI changes — @Observable is going to make life so much easier … once I can actually use it in my work apps that is 😛

I have a lot of computed properties in my objects and updating the UI when those value changes has sometimes been a bit of a challenge. But no more! I’m looking forward to being able to use @Observable!

BREAKING NEWS! I am looking for a pixel art tile artist for my game. I am paying real $$$.

One more cool Xcode 15 beta feature — well, at least “cool” for me since I love ticking things off a list 😛

You can bookmark things in your Xcode project and then mark them off one by one as done. Saves me having to put down all the stuff I want to fix in a separate file 😀

@denisdepalatis I did intend to try the Git functionality but haven’t actually done so. Will let you know if I run into issues when I do …

@dachary Yep 🙂 I was trying to at least get through the videos I most cared about and at the end of the day was like “Darn, haven’t seen this one, and this one and this one … and tomorrow’ there’ll be more!”

I don’t know if it’s because I’m getting older, but it feels as if back in the day I used to watch more 40 - 50 minute WWDC videos than this. Now the videos are shorter and I’m still not able to keep up 😛

@jaywardell Isn’t that (almost) always how it goes? It’s like Schroedinger’s cat — the moment you try to explain/replicate the issue, it resolves itself 😛

So, I mentioned Xcode 15 beta console logging in my previous post …

With just NSLog statements (and without extra metadata options turned on) the console looks like the first screenshot.

But if you switch to unified logging (so that you can specify the type, subsystem, and category) for each log message, and then turn on the relevant metadata options in the Xcode 15 console, then the console logs look like the second screenshot 🙂

So much better, right? And it’s so much easier to filter too! I think, I’m going to find it hard to go back to Xcode 14.x now … 😛

I want to start using Xcode 15 beta right now just for the console logging 😀

I was using NSLog (for the metadata) but had not moved on to using full-on logging because there didn’t seem to be a huge advantage (till now) with regards to how I used the Xcode console … that was until now 😛

The first screenshot shows console logs from Xcode 14.x for one of my projects.

The second screenshot shows console logs from Xcode 15 beta for the same project with no changes.

So much cleaner and easier to read, right?

But it doesn’t stop there! If you actually use the unified logging system instead of NSLog and tag your log messages with the type of log message, the subsystem and category, the console logging gets even more useful — and a lot more easier to filter.

I’ll post about that in another post once I’ve updated my project …

@PixelJones The whole Vision Pro strategy seemed to be aimed at doing prestige stuff, honestly 🙂

Like the replaceable head bands, light seals, and audio straps (not sure about the last but I’m sure that the first two can be swapped out) looked very much like Apple’s approach to the watch — folks can have luxury elements that cost astronomical amounts and Apple can rake in the cash 😛

I’m sure in a few years there’ll be (slightly) more affordable items for those of us who don’t want to pay through our noses, but we’ll always have those feelings of “aspiration” to deal with 😀

@_holger Enjoy your time with your daughter and in-laws 🙂 They grow up so fast — not that we have any children, but I used to spend all my time with my nephews and but once they get to be about 10 years old, they have no time for you since they have other concerns 😀

@_holger A new baby is a blessing but I know that as a parent you’ll have very little time. Congratulations on the baby, by the way 🙂

I actually haven’t had the time to watch the videos from yesterday still either but will send links your way if I find a session that is relevant to the discussion, and hopefully, you can catch up later at your leisure …

@_holger Sure thing 🙂 I’m sure it will be covered in the SwiftData sessions from either yesterday or today but figured you’d like to know since that should set your mind at ease …

@kharrison Found the sample code you were talking about — Sorry, should have looked before asking 🙂 I’m sure it’ll be covered in the sessions too but was just wondering how I’d missed it since I thought I watched all the videos that have been released so far …

@_holger Apparently, it’s possible for Core Data and SwiftData to co-exist in the same app … Plus, the same sample also talks about converting from Core Data to SwiftData.
