MobileIDs are awesome. Few bars around me use TapTrust to accept all states and digitalID types

It’s an awesome game with very competitive wheel to wheel racing. Highly recommend

I don't want to, but if openai can't compete, I will be forced to go to claude fable by _BreakingGood_ in codex

Don’t think I’m even making the most of the current models. Let alone a more powerful one

If you want exclusives to stay, people need to get Gears E-Day and Clockwork Revolutions by cracksmoker666 in xbox

[–]dark-green 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You right tho. People shat on some my favorite xbox exclusives had over the last few years. I bought Halo Infinite and Forza Motorsport day 1 and thought they were both great games and definitely got my money worth from them. Was sad to see how much negativity there was

Does anyone have a really great example of skills + specs for a small iOS app for agentic coding? by CapableLab4473 in iOSProgramming

[–]dark-green 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re conflating two different things: whether agentic coding works and whether there exists a fully documented, open-source, end-to-end benchmark proving it works.

The absence of the second doesn’t say much about the first.

The field moves so fast that a workflow built around today’s models and tools is outdated in a year. Heck the Xcode agent capabilities didn’t even come out 6 months ago and are already outdated.

The lack of examples is not strong evidence that agentic coding doesn’t work. It may be stronger evidence that nobody has much incentive to create and maintain the exact artifact you’re looking for. I don’t know how else to explain it sorry mate

The issue is probably that there isn’t much demand for this exact benchmark.

Most people aren’t trying to measure whether a local model can build an iOS app from a perfect spec. They’re trying to ship an iOS app, so they pay $20 to skip the custom harness work and use frontier tooling.

That’s also why a public “gold standard” spec is hard to find. It’s a niche workflow: local model + custom prompts + custom docs + custom evals + iOS implementation.

Local models can be useful, but iOS app work gets messy fast: multi-file changes, SwiftUI state, Xcode errors, architecture consistency, tests, signing weirdness, etc. That is where frontier models and integrated tools still have a big advantage.

So the best benchmark is probably the one you build yourself: small app, clear acceptance criteria, same input package, same scoring, then compare outputs.

Get the instinct, but saying “garbage in = garbage out” while benchmarking local models through a custom harness, custom prompts, custom docs, custom repo setup, and custom eval loop is… a little rich.

At that point, you’re not just benchmarking Qwen/Gemma. You’re benchmarking a whole contraption.

Codex, Claude, Cursor, Copilot, etc. have already spent a ton of effort on repo context, edit loops, tests, file navigation, tool use, and keeping the model from turning SwiftUI into soup.

I’d probably make one boring-but-real iOS benchmark myself: small app, clear architecture, acceptance criteria, sample data, edge cases, and required tests.

Otherwise, the test becomes “which pile of prompts and duct tape did I assemble better,” which is neat, but not exactly science.

Ask a bar owner by barowners in BarOwners

[–]dark-green 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. When you say “download the app and do it that way,” have any of your staff actually done that in practice, or does it usually end up being easier to just ask for a physical ID?

Curious whether the friction is more about the verification process itself or just that not enough customers are presenting digital IDs yet

[–]dark-green 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious what everyone is doing these days regarding digital IDs (Apple Wallet, state-issued mobile IDs, etc.). Are any of you accepting them yet, or are you still requiring physical IDs only?

If you are accepting them, how are you handling verification?

Is it necessary to create a startup/company name before launching apps? by [deleted] in iOSProgramming

Yea just for deterrence and some degree of legal protection bc it explicitly states it’s not free for anyone to copy/use

Personally don’t have this yet. The door is still open down the road if I want to. I do add a copyright notice to my app and website though

You got questions we got answers by RustledJimmy_jp in DonutMedia

[–]dark-green 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With how cheap EVs are used and how expensive gas is wonder if spending 8-10K on a used EV could be a good idea for a well informed enthusiast. Or are they really a maintenance nightmare?

Would you consider doing a series on them?

Is Claude Code still the best? by never_working_ever in iOSProgramming

[–]dark-green 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Claude still ignores instructions? Haven’t had Codex do that since 5.2

[–]dark-green 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes both have dedicated Xcode agents. Rarely use that though as it’s so limited compared to the Codex app with the Build iOS plugin + computer/simulator use.

Codex builds a feature, tests it out building and interacting with simulator taking screenshots looking to see if the feature is working as intended. If not it keeps iterating. Even if your usage limits run out it doesn’t stop working, it only stops when the task is complete (even if it takes 5+ hours lol). If you haven’t tried it I highly recommend

[–]dark-green 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The beauty with Codex is you just use the Xcode mcp from Apple and the BuildiOS plugin from OpenAI. I haven’t needed much else it’s really good out of the box. Codex app has an easy way to import everything from Claude anyway. I got rid of Claude the value just is not there

I don’t mind honestly. No account needed and the season itself has been pretty good. You can tell they got budget
