I’ll be focusing on iOS app development workflows. Step 1 of closing the loop: building a target so that Claude Code can see the errors and warnings. And doing so in a way that preserves the build cache (clean builds take a long time). This allows Claude Code to see its syntax errors and fix them before you review its… ## [Shinkansen Live - Developing the App for iOS](https://twocentstudios.com/2025/12/25/shinkansen-live-developing-the-app-for-ios/) _2025-12-25 · twocentstudios_ In my last post I introduced the motivation and feature set of Shinkansen Live , my latest iOS app. I encourage you to read that one first to learn about what the app does.

Considered Harmful](https://twocentstudios.com/2025/12/12/swiftui-group-still-considered-harmful/) _2025-12-12 · twocentstudios_ A number of years ago, I internalized a SwiftUI axiom after getting burned on what appeared at first as a heisenbug.

But there are still some reasons why it’s useful to treat it… ## [Comprehensible Later: A Read-it-later App for Language Learners](https://twocentstudios.com/2025/11/15/comprehensible-later-read-it-later-for-language-learners/) _2025-11-15 · twocentstudios_ This post is a short retrospective on Comprehensible Later, my working-title for a read-it-later iOS app prototype I worked on last week.
