Chef Marius Constantinescu cooked your goodies.

Week 370

Happy Thursday! Busy week with lots of stuff from Apple, so let’s get to that:

Xcode 12.5 Beta 1 was released, and looking at the release notes, it’s filled with goodies: more reliable code completion, record GIFs from the simulator, faster compilation and a way of telling the unit tests to expect a failure, as well as many others. It also comes with Swift 5.4, and in case you’re wondering what’s new in that, Paul Hudson has you covered.

The App Store Review Guidelines have also been updated, and Apple provided a list of all the changes.

And Apple also started enforcing 2FA for the developer accounts, possibly breaking a major part of all the build pipelines. There are already articles about how to solve that, like this one from Vadim Dobrinin, and the amazing Josh Holtz already released a new version of fastlane which can (for now) bypass that requirement.
