Setting Up Xcode Server Email Notifications on a Repurposed Household Mac So They Send From Your GSuite Account

I recently repurposed a family computer to play a new role: Xcode build server. Setting up the bot wasn't too bad overall, but there was one really big hurdle: getting post-integration email notifications to actually send. Despite the (relative) user-friendliness of the UI, the email notification feature is very unforgiving. It expects to be running on a mac that is hosting (or sitting behind) a domain that's also running it's own SMTP service. A repurposed family computer is not going to have such a setup. Outbound mail is going to either not send at all or else likely get bounced by spam filtering.

I do have a GSuite account for small business stuff. I host my website at Media Temple, but the email service is run by Gmail, with DNS records configured to route mail traffic to Gmail. What I want is for my Xcode bot to send email notifications from one of my GSuite accounts. The following are s

Whole Module Compilation Optimizations: Why these terms are sometimes misleading

When you look up how to compile swift faster for debug builds, people very earnestly give advice that seems contradictory: you should "try using the whole module optimization flag," and also "never use whole module optimization for debugging". [^1]

This is confusing because some of us are using these two general words:

compilation: "turning text into an executable program"

Following the tradition from last year, here's my complete list of all interesting features and updates I could find in Apple's OSes, SDKs and developer tools that were announced at this year's WWDC. This is based on the keynotes, the "What's New In ..." presentations and some others, Apple's release notes, and blog posts and tweets that I came across in the last few weeks.

If for some reason you haven't watched the talks yet, I really recommend watching at least the "State of the Union" and the "What's New In" intros for the platforms you're interested in. The unofficial WWDC Mac app is great way to download the videos and keep track of what you've already watched.

If you're interested, here are my WWDC 2015 notes (might be useful if you're planning to drop support for iOS 8 now and start using some iOS 9 APIs).
