    You can indeed have multiple USB drives plugged into iPad at once. It seems to refuse CDROMs, and doesn’t appear to support HFS+ disks (only FAT). Need more testing though

    Multi-window really is multi-window. You can spawn as many windows as you want in an app and cycle between them as necessary, or tear them off into new spaces

    I am confirming that it works when plugging a Magic Trackpad in over USB

    Replying to @stroughtonsmith
    I was told no trackpad support. You're confirming it does work with the Magic Trackpad?

    So all the AppKit developers who were concerned that Marzipan would herald the beginning of the end of AppKit (myself included) can relax. It won’t be Marzipan (officially Catalyst). It’ll be SwiftUI.

    I'm a bit surprised to read that SwiftUI is not sitting on top of UIKit. I expected Catalyst (fka Marzipan) to be introduced to establish a common foundation for SwiftUI.

    SwiftUI controls have layers that are managed directly by the framework; there are APIs for embedding an NS/UIView in SwiftUI and vice versa. Performance was a top priority, it's good

    This year was very much the 'future of Apple' year. Watch moving to independence, iPad becoming its own thing, Mac assimilating the iOS ecosystem, and SwiftUI charting Apple's course for the future of app development. So, so many checkboxes were ticked off this year

    The MobileDevice.pkg from inside Xcode 11 is all you need to install iOS 13. It's a 5mb thing vs the 8GB of Xcode. Protip.
