In this episode of the Compile Swift podcast, the latest beta four releases from Apple, including iOS 18, iPadOS 18, macOS 15, tvOS, visionOS, and watchOS.
I urge listeners not to install beta versions on primary devices used for daily work to avoid potential issues.

All code is legacy code, deal with it now
Everything we write becomes legacy code once it's written. That means technical debt in the future, so how can we do a better job today to help future us tomorrow?

Embracing new API's whilst retaining backwards compatibility
This week, I delved into whether to embrace or avoid new APIs in Apple's upcoming operating systems. I encountered a few challenges while working on my Mac iOS app, which I aimed to have a modern look. Inspired by Apple developer videos, I wanted to incorporate features like a navigation split view and fancy backgrounds, similar to the design of CleanMyMac.
However, I hit a snag when they were in a part of the app's window. Even AI couldn't solve it. Finally, I found a solution in a video on the Apple developer portal, which involved using modifiers only available in macOS 15. Faced with a choice, I implemented conditional code to keep compatibility with macOS 14 while enabling new features for macOS 15 and beyond.
Using conditional code, such as #if available(macOS 15, *), I can target specific OS versions and ensure my app remains functional across different versions without cutting off users. This technique can be applied to various scenarios, not just API availability, making it a versatile tool.
