Now tracking: iOS 27 · WWDC 2026

Apple never stops shipping.
Stay ahead of it.

Every WWDC, Apple ships hundreds of new APIs across dozens of frameworks. SwiftChronicle ingests them the moment they drop — distilled into scannable cards with runnable Swift code — and lets you track exactly which ones you've implemented.

From WWDC firehose to your personal progress tracker.

SwiftChronicle turns Apple's annual SDK release into a structured, trackable feed. Know what dropped, learn what matters, ship what sticks.

01

Live capability feed

Every new API, framework change, and deprecation ingested automatically from WWDC sessions and Apple developer docs as they go live.

02

Ship-ready Swift code

Every card ships with a real, compilable Swift snippet — not pseudocode. Copy directly into Xcode with a link back to the WWDC source.

03

Track your implementation

Mark capabilities as done, build a daily streak, and see your real coverage across each release — not just what you vaguely watched at WWDC.

Foundation Models Framework

Foundation Models is Apple's on-device large language model framework introduced in iOS 26, enabling apps to run Apple Intelligence-powered text generation, structured output, and tool calling entirely on device without network requests. It exposes a Swift-native API around the system's built-in language model via the FoundationModels framework.

What's New in SwiftUI (iOS 27)

iOS 27 delivers a sweeping set of SwiftUI enhancements including Liquid Glass design, a new Document API with async read/write, toolbar visibility controls, and iPhone app resizability. These changes touch nearly every layer of a SwiftUI app.

Observable Macro for SwiftUI Data Models

The @Observable macro, introduced in Swift 5.9 and now the standard for iOS 17+/iOS 27, replaces ObservableObject/Published with a simpler, more performant observation system. SwiftUI views automatically track only the specific properties they read, reducing unnecessary re-renders.

Liquid Glass Visual Design

Liquid Glass is the new foundational design language introduced in iOS 26, featuring translucent, refractive materials that simulate glass-like surfaces across system UI components. Developers can apply this aesthetic to custom views using the new `.glassEffect()` modifier and related APIs.

App Intents Siri Integration

App Intents lets you expose discrete app actions to Siri and Shortcuts so users can invoke them with natural language. In iOS 26, the framework deepens integration with on-device intelligence, enabling richer parameter resolution and proactive suggestions directly in Siri.

Live Activities & Dynamic Island

Live Activities let apps display real-time, glanceable information on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island without the user opening the app. The Dynamic Island compact, minimal, and expanded presentations keep users informed about ongoing tasks like deliveries, sports scores, or timers.

What's New in SwiftData (iOS 27)

iOS 27 brings four major SwiftData enhancements: sectioned @Query results, a new .codable attribute modifier for third-party types, ResultsObserver for reacting to store changes outside SwiftUI, and HistoryObserver for monitoring persistent history transactions.

Custom LLM Provider via LanguageModel Protocol

iOS 27 opens the Foundation Models framework to third-party and server-based LLMs via a new public LanguageModel protocol. Any developer or company can package their own model (local or cloud-based) so it integrates seamlessly with the same session API used for Apple's on-device model.
