When you are in Taiwan, you gotta have traditional breakfast as often as possible. I am not a morning person, but I woke up early just for this: Chinese donuts wrapped with egg pancake (蛋餅夾油條). It’s cheap and delicious!

Few things to remember about Swift macros:
- Macros are executed in compile time, whereas property wrappers are execute in runtime.
- Macros with hash sign are freestanding, and macros with at sign are attached to something.
- In Xcode 15, highlight a macro and right-click to select Expand Macro in the contextual menu to see the expanded form.

So in visionOS, you start with a grid of icons, the you choose which app to open. What does the animation sequence look like for the app launch? Does the grid fade out and app window fades in centered in the field of view? Does Apple show this in any demo or session? #Apple #VisionPro #WWDC23

@npub1kyj…e72m Good question. We need more info on the windowing system. All demos shown so far have windows not overlapping.
