Welcome to issue #56 of the iOS Coffee Break Newsletter 📬.
This week I realized the newsletter is already a year and a half old! Still a baby 👶, but definitely but not just born.
It actually started as a monthly thing, but once I got into the flow of writing and started getting some feedback, it naturally turned into a weekly habit. Over these past 56 editions, I've covered all sorts of stuff: WWDC highlights, Apple dev tools, a tiny Swift CLI I made to pick giveaway winners, a SwiftUI navigation setup, and even an app I built in the "Building a Newsletter App" series.
Now, after all that writing, I'm taking a short break, just two weeks off while I enjoy some summer time ☀️.
While I'm away, if you've got any ideas, feedback, or just want to say hi, feel free to reach out on Twitter.
Have a great week ahead 🤎

💪 Supercharge Your GitHub Actions with Smart Caching
Did you know you can make your GitHub Actions run faster by adding caching to your workflows?
In Nowham's latest article, you'll learn how to implement efficient caching that can save you hours every week. Plus, since GHA charges by the minute for private repositories, caching doesn't just save time but it can also reduce your compute costs.
🤖 Working with partially generated content in Xcode previews
One of the highlights of WWDC 2025 was the introduction of the Foundation Models framework.
A particularly useful feature of this framework is guided generation of Swift data structures. In the latest article by Artem, you'll explore techniques for working with partially generated content in Xcode previews, providing you a practical way to test AI-generated content.
💧 Presenting Liquid Glass sheets in SwiftUI on iOS 26
This week at work, I've been testing our app with the latest iOS beta to prepare it for iOS 26. One issue I ran into involves partial modals. They don't automatically adopt the new Liquid Glass look or its animations.
Luckily, Natalia's articles showed up just in time. In them, you'll learn how to take advantage of the new glass-style design for partial sheets in iOS 26, and how to implement smooth, morphing transitions for sheets launched from toolbar buttons using SwiftUI APIs.
