AI coding platform Bitrig adds iPhone Duo support with interactive 3D simulator
Following the release of Xcode 27.1 beta 1 last week, Bitrig has added support for building and testing iPhone Duo apps, complete with an interactive 3D simulator that lets developers fold, tilt, rotate, and position the device however they want. Here are the details. more…
Bitrig, a coding platform known for turning text or voice prompts into SwiftUI apps, has expanded its offerings with the addition of iPhone Duo support. This is part of the Xcode 27.1 beta 1 that was recently released. The new feature includes an interactive 3D simulator that allows developers to experiment with various poses and orientations of the iPhone Duo device.
Kyle Macomber, Co-founder and CEO of Bitrig, explains that this simulator enables developers to test how their app reacts to different poses; from open to closed, landscape to portrait, and even partially folded. With this tool, developers can explore how their app will respond when the user interacts with the hinge, using onHingeChange to create effects like Apple's unfold effect.
Additionally, the platform facilitates hands-free experiences by allowing developers to use ArrangementView to layout media and controls based on the device's orientation. The platform also supports landscape orientation and dual display usage. This new update enables developers to manage multiple versions of Xcode, preparing their apps for the upcoming iPhone Duo release and facilitating a smooth transition to the final version.
