Side Project Spotlight

Kotaro flies solo for a quick in-between minipod to tease what's coming next, starting with Xcode 27.2 and a simulator that finally matches the iPhone Duo. He also teases the MacBook touch screen (whose name he refuses to say out loud) and invites you to the November 12th IRL meetup at Vanguard.

00:00 Coming Up on Side Project Spotlight

## Show Notes

- This minipod doesn't count toward the episode count because of personal reasons that kept The Trio from recording this week.

- Xcode 27.2 is out, and its iPhone Duo simulator now matches, which it didn't quite do on 27.1.

- Kotaro flags some interesting new APIs in iOS 27.2 as worth discussing on a future episode.

- Unique iPhone Duo app ideas are starting to land in the same space where the original iPhone apps came from.

- The MacBook touch screen is also on deck, though Kotaro won't repeat its name because, in his opinion, the branding did a poor job.

- PhillyCocoa's next IRL meetup is November 12th at the Vanguard building in Philadelphia.

- Kotaro floats a meetup talk on how to prepare your apps for the iPhone Duo and why you should.

- More talks are still being planned for the meetup.
