Developing a Watchfaces and Widget app from Idea to AppStore by James Clarke and Lisa Valentine

The Seattle Xcoders were the very first beta testers of our app “Remindful Watchfaces & Widget” at the meetup on April 3, 2025. Tonight, UX Designer and App Developer collaborators give an overview of their journey from the need for “tech wellness” in 2024 to an app that has already begun to help users thrive more mindfully in a busy world.

Tapping Into Visual Intelligence in iOS 26 by John Gillilan

Using an example artwork viewing app, we’ll take a dive into the new APIs for 3rd party developers to tap into Visual Intelligence in iOS 26. Beyond this new Visual Intelligence framework, the implementation will leverage other frameworks including App Intents, Core Video, and Vision. And if there’s time, we’ll take a quick look at the new Translation framework and my latest VoiceOver implementation in the same app.

Reminder: if you’d like to give a talk (long or short), contact us at info@xcoders.org. We’re a friendly group! And this is a great place to get some public speaking practice or to explore a topic you’d like to learn. (Or both!)
