The Sileo Team released another update for the Sileo package manager over the weekend, continuing the team’s ongoing efforts to migrate the app’s backbone from Objective-C to Apple’s Swift programming language.
The update was announced late Sunday evening, and as it would seem, Sileo v 1.1.5 brings Swift support to native package depictions and to the app’s integrated Featured tab:
The Sileo Team has been somewhat busy this past week, cranking out regular updates for the Sileo package manager, which handles add-on and extension installations by default on jailbreaks created by the Electra Team, including Chimera and Electra.
As it would seem, this weekend is no different. The Sileo Team announced the release of Sileo version 1.1.4 early Saturday morning via Twitter:
If you’re using either the iOS 11-based Electra jailbreak or the iOS 12-based Chimera jailbreak, each published by the Electra Team, then you just might have some exciting news ahead.
The Sileo Team announced just this morning that an upcoming slew of updates to the Sileo package manager will migrate the app from an Objective-C backbone to Apple’s Swift programming language instead:
Craig Federighi is Apple's SVP of Software Engineering, and he had plenty of time on stage at this year's Worldwide Developers Conference keynote to talk about a lot of the new things Apple is launching this year. But now that the keynote is wrapped up, Federighi is making the rounds, discussing those features, and offering up a few more tidbits of information along the way.
Apple yesterday announced expanded coding initiatives in Singapore and Indonesia.
Apple today released the first beta of the Swift Playgrounds 3.0 coding app which you can download through TestFlight provided you've elected to help Apple test the app.
Swift Playgrounds, Apple's excellent iPad-only app aimed at children and wannabe developers that makes it fun to learn and experiment with code—has gotten even better.
Google has been quite cagey about their forthcoming operating system, Fuschia. Neither confirming its existence in any official capacity, or saying what its purpose is. All the while, developing it publicly out in the open. Though we still don't know what it will be used for, we can see from the code repositories that one unique feature is coming: Swift support.
Freelance website Upwork today released its list of fastest growing requested skillsets for the third quarter of 2017. Among those are Final Cut Pro X and Apple's development language Swift.
Apple announced Friday that its “App Development with Swift” curriculum is coming to more than 30 community college systems in the United States during the 2017-2018 school year.
Chris Lattner, a former star Apple engineer who built early versions of Apple's Swift programming language in 2010 before a team was formed to further the project, has joined Google's artificial intelligence (AI) team, according to his announcement on Twitter on Monday.
Former Apple executive Chris Lattner is leaving Tesla. He barely lasted six months on the job. “Chris just wasn't the right fit for Tesla, and we've decided to make a change,” the electric car company said Tuesday, according to The Wall Street Journal.
He exited the same day Tesla hired leading artificial intelligence expert Andrej Karpathy as its new director of AI and Autopilot. Lattner's LinkedIn profile had not been updated at post time to reflect his exit from Elon Musk's company.
He did tweet though that he was interested in any available roles for a seasoned engineering leader. “Turns out that Tesla isn't a good fit for me after all,” reads his impromptu tweet. “I'm interested to hear about interesting roles for a seasoned engineering leader”.
The Wall Street Journal notes that Tesla saw a number of high-profile departures over the past few months amid pressure from CEO Elon Musk on engineers to develop and perfect autonomous car systems by the end of 2017, a tall order.
Credited as the creator of Swift, Apple's new modern pogromming language, Lattner left Apple this January to take a position as Vice President of Autopilot Software at Tesla. During his Apple tenure, he also held the title of Senior Director of the Developer Tools team.
