New in iOS 26.4 is the LinkMetadata API! A Swift-y addition to the LinkPresentation framework to make it easier than ever to get metadata from URLs. And it also fully supports Codable, Transferable, and App Intents! Check it out! https://developer.apple.com/documentation/linkpresentation/linkmetadata

If this weren’t exciting enough, LinkPresentation is also now available on watchOS and tvOS!

@richardrobinson@mastodon.social @averyvine@mastodon.social I remember that LinkMetadata always fired up a web view in the background which caused performance issues. Does this do the same?

@richardrobinson@mastodon.social @lorihc@mastodon.social I was hoping to add local metadata caching to @DoMarks@indieapps.space later this year (after I get 3.0 out in a couple of weeks). This looks like exactly what I would want to use. Perfect timing!
