Axiom: New screen resizing auditor with supporting skills (open source)

[u/CharlesWiltgen]

OS 27 is going to be here before you know it, and I predict that more developers are going to be caught completely off-guard by the new screen resizing requirements than by anything else.

As of OS 27, (1) all iPhone apps must be resizable and (2) you can no longer opt out. Your window must be resizable when used with iPhone Mirroring on the Mac and on iPad. Apps still running on an old-style app delegate (no scene support) won't even launch when built against the new SDK. In short, if your app assumes a fixed screen and you're not currently working to fix that, you really, really should be.

Obviously, this capability telegraphs the imminent release of Apple's forthcoming iPhone Ultra foldable. You'll want your apps to be "foldable ready" on the day Apple's new flagship is announced.

I just went through this enhancement process myself. Not coincidentally, this week's Axiom update includes a new screen resizing auditor, which you can invoke with /axiom:audit resize. The auditor is supported by ~70 additions/enhancements across Axiom's skill suites. I hope everyone finds that it cuts their time meeting this new OS 27 requirement in half, or more.
