Issue #107
Hello everyone,
I'm excited to share our latest podcast episode, some new articles, and a major development in the Swift on Android community. Let's dive in!
🎙️ Swift on Android with Marc Prud'hommeaux
In the latest episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Marc Prud'hommeaux, co-founder of Skip.Tools, about bringing Swift apps to Android. This conversation was particularly timely given the recent formation of the Swift on Android Working Group.
*With just a single code base for the first time, really you can take a single sort of premium polished iOS application, and you can reach the entire global population, which is like 90% of all adults have one of these two smartphones.*
**Marc Prud'hommeaux**

How Does Server-Side Swift Workout in the Real World?
My latest article details the journey of creating gBeat, a fitness streaming platform that evolved from a gaming heart rate monitor called Heartwitch. I share how the pandemic created new opportunities and how Server-Side Swift enabled a seamless experience across devices as well as:
- The evolution from a gaming heart rate overlay to a comprehensive fitness platform
- Why Server-Side Swift was the perfect choice for real-time data streaming
- Architecture overview of a production Swift backend system
- Integration with Apple ecosystem features like HealthKit and Push Notifications
Setting Up Sign in with Apple with Server-Side Swift and SwiftUI
Building on the gBeat case study, I've created a comprehensive guide that walks you through implementing Sign in with Apple in both your server and client applications. This tutorial is perfect for developers looking to add secure, privacy-focused authentication to their Swift projects. You’ll learn about:
- Understanding JWT authentication fundamentals
- Server-side implementation for both Vapor and Hummingbird frameworks
- Creating a smooth Sign in with Apple flow in SwiftUI
- Security best practices for token handling and validation
🚀 Coming Soon
In my next article, I'll be covering advanced Apple Watch authentication workarounds and providing more insight into building cross-platform fitness applications with Swift. Stay tuned!
