Good day, and welcome to NativeScript iOS Daily for July 4th, 2026.
Today's headline is a correctness fix that matters to anyone using URLPattern with capture groups. PR 402, from Eduardo Speroni, fixes two stacked bugs in the v8 regex provider. First, a success check was inverted, so any successful match read was treated as a failure — meaning test and exec calls were silently…
The second theme is release plumbing. Nathan Walker landed two chores aimed at build reliability. Commit 838ed31 lets local builds and packs use a local Swift Package Manager reference, while keeping tagged, remote SPM artifacts for actual release builds — so developers can iterate locally without touching the…
What's next: if you're testing URLPattern behavior, pull in the latest fix before relying on capture group results. And if you're touching build or release scripts, be aware the local-versus-tagged SPM split is now explicit — make sure any new tooling respects that boundary.
That's the briefing for July 4th. Ship carefully.
