I just want to share a list of 8 iOS information websites that have kept me updated during my development career.

I didn't know I need these, but then I bookmarked for use every day ⚑️
⚑️ iOS and iPadOS usage

Official iOS and iPad OS usage statistics by @AppStore measured by devices that transacted recently.

A friendly reminder that 98% of all iOS devices introduced in the last 4 years install iOS 14 and iOS 15 πŸ’ͺ

developer.apple.com/support/app-st…
⚑️ Xcode Releases

Updated links and detailed information of all available Xcode versions and their direct DMG link. I've stopped downloading Xcode from AppStore after I found out that the direct link download is more stable.

xcodereleases.com
⚑️ iOS Resolution

Long gone was the time of a single 320x480 resolution. Now iPhone and iPad come in different sizes and resolutions. Luckily I've found this site to be a good reference.

ios-resolution.com
⚑️ Swift Version

Swift is moving fast with many nifty features added in every release. But do you know the latest stable and current Swift version?

This site gives just quick answer.

Built by @jamesdempsey

⚑️ iOS Ref

Everything we need to know about specific devices diagonal size, logical resolution, scale factor at a glance.

⚑️ iOS Fonts

This site needs some maintenance love, but here there's an overview of all available fonts used in iOS and watchOS. At a glance we can see how they look.

⚑️ App Review Times

Built recently by the team at @RunwayTeam_, this gives us average estimate of Waiting for review and In review time

How do you keep up with iOS development when things are moving quite fast?

To me, it's about reading newsletters 😎

Here are 4 newsletters that I've found insightful over the years ⚑️
πŸ“¬ @iOSDevWeekly

Do you know when the first issue came out? August 5th 2011!

For over 10 years, @daveverwer has accompanied iOS community and delivered great summaries.

To me, iOSDevWeekly is where all the best and popular resources are mentioned

iosdevweekly.com
πŸ“¬ iOS Goodies

Started by @peres, @_tiagoalmeida and now maintained by @marius_const, it is an open-sourced where everyone is welcome to submit.

Easily to find essential articles, libraries quickly every issue. Not to mention the good introduction.

Do you plan to get started in Mac development, especially with SwiftUI?

I'm by no mean Mac expert, but I've made quite a few Mac apps and I've bookmarked some useful resources and tools along the way.

Since many have asked me for recommendation, here is the list πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡
πŸ–₯ First of all, how is macOS different from other platforms like iOS, tvOS and watchOS?

Each device has different capabilities and is meant for different purposes.

The Mac is:
- Flexible
- Focused
- Expensive
- Capable
πŸ–₯ Human Interface Guidelines

The above 4 points are the distinct theme of Mac, and is from the Human Interface Guidelines, or HIG for short.

Be sure to check it to learn more about macOS design decisions. developer.apple.com/design/human-i…

Have you started leveraging the power of ML in your apps?

While browsing through GitHub for inspirations, I've bookmarked these awesome 20+ open-source machine learning projects

The latest version of TensorFlow supports Keras, which is a high-level neural networks API, written in Python and capable of running on top of TensorFlow, CNTK, or Theano.

There are also interfaces for Javascript and Swift.

Scikit-learn has simple and efficient tools for data mining and data analysis, built on NumPy, SciPy, and Matplotlib.

It’s a popular choice to use alongside TensorFlow because of its simplicity and handy functions. scikit-learn.org
