Welcome to the issue #27 of the iOS Coffee Break Newsletter 📬.

As the year comes to an end, what a journey it has been! I am incredibly proud of everything I have created in 2024!

I had two big concerns when I started the newsletter: not to be able to find or receive from the community enough iOS content to feature every month and not to have enough people interested in subscribing. Those worries are now behind me! I now receive plenty of requests to showcase new articles and have transitioned to releasing issues weekly. On top of that, we are close to 500 subscribers!

I am incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported the newsletter, whether by subscribing or contributing with such amazing content. Thank you all 🙏!

Here is a quick look back at some highlights from your favorite iOS newsletter ☕.

Year Highlights

2024 was a big year for the newsletter:

• Launch of iOS Coffee Break in May 2024.
• 7.6k unique visitors to the site.
• 27 issues published.
• Revamp of the site, including a dedicated page to sponsorship opportunities.

Take a deeper dive with me into the most popular issues from the past year.

Top Issues

🧰 The collection of open-source iOS tools I rely on daily ✌️

This was one of my favorite issues to write, and it turned out to be the most read in the newsletter! I showcased some open-source tools that I frequently use in both professional and personal iOS development.

👷 Refactoring my SwiftUI Navigation Layer to follow the Coordinator Pattern 🔀

The second most popular issue in the newsletter focused on refactoring my earlier SwiftUI Navigation Layer. Here, I transitioned from a Router to a Coordinator model and the main goal of this refactoring was to transition from a linear navigation stack to a distinct set of independent navigation screens using sheet presentations.

I must say, this was the issue I dedicated the most time and effort to 😅!

🧑‍✈️ GitHub Copilot for Xcode is now available! ✈️

Rounding out the top three of my most viewed issues is the announcement of GitHub Copilot for Xcode!

With AI being such a hot topic in 2024, it is no surprise this issue resonated with readers. This Xcode extension offers inline code suggestions as you type, significantly boosting development efficiency.

See you in 2025! 🥳

I am deeply grateful to all my readers and subscribers for their unwavering support. Your engagement inspires me to continue creating free, valuable content for the iOS community. I couldn't do it without you — thank you 🙏

I wish you lots of coffees and I hope to see you in 2025 🥳
