Rejected by Apple iOS app review:
First we were rejected for having a restore purchases button when we only have consumable purchases and restore purchases does not apply to consumable purchases.
We removed the button and resubmitted.
Now we got rejected for not having a "restore purchases" button.
Wenn wir schon grad dabei sind - heute Abend hab ich mich noch an ein weiteres Feature gesetzt :) Man kann am Bild erahnen in welche Richtung es geht... #iosdev #flutterflow #androiddev
Wow, just tried Helm for uploading screenshots and it's a game changer.
- blazing fast uploads
- you can zoom around the UI and trust it to take care of the in-process uploads correctly
- all screenshots are in the correct order (using the website never got this right)
- you can drag screenshots for all devices onto the UI and it puts them in the right devices
took me like 5 or 6 minutes to upload for 10 locales. Used to take me about 60 minutes to upload and verify correct sequences. #iosdev
“Specifically, sunsetting our use of TCA and SwiftUI to make Dia lightweight, snappy, and responsive.”
Looks like the Browser Company moved away from SwiftUI. Personally I never used TCA but why does it lead to sluggishness?

When we wrap content in a ScrollView to support larger text on iOS, it adds bounce behavior even when the content fits with default settings. To avoid it, and still allow scrolling when needed, we can apply .scrollBounceBehavior(.basedOnSize), introduced in SwiftUI in iOS 16.4.
I wrote a short post with visual examples and a brief explanation of how scrollBounceBehavior(.basedOnSize) works in practice: https://nilcoalescing.com/blog/EnableScrollingBasedOnContentSizeInSwiftUI/

Custom notarisation has become a lot easier in the last couple of years. As a reminder to my future self, here are the steps to prepare for manually notarising an app:
#Xcode #Swift #iOSDev #macOSDev
https://iamkonstantin.eu/blog/preparing-certificates-for-notarisation/
Finally succeeded in generating HTML documentation for a Swift Package containing several targets, with cross references.
Feature still experimental, customisation is still a chore, but it just works.
Thanks to the community

Here’s how Send to Mac works in the new Proxygen app. You pair up the Mac app with your iOS device and it’s ready for traffic mirroring whenever you need it. It works even when the iOS device is locked!
I think there is some truth to this. Nowadays its mostly about fetching data and pushing views on Screen to format some JSON Data in a vertical list.

Just submitted my first iOS app to TestFlight 
#polyamory #monogamy #relationships #iosdev #swiftui #swift
EDIT: Beta is available! https://testflight.apple.com/join/4drmtcfm (2nd version is already submitted this one has some visual bugs)
I've been experimenting with mesh gradients in SwiftUI and wrote up what I learned. The post covers basic and more advanced setups, color adjustments, Bezier points, and color position animations: https://nilcoalescing.com/blog/MeshGradientsInSwiftUI/

Current project structure in @strengthy. I’m a big fan of modularization and moving as much project configuration as possible outside the Xcode project file. The only code that lives in the app targets is the app entry point, everything else is inside different targets in the Libraries package.
xtool: Cross-platform Xcode replacement. Build and deploy iOS apps with SwiftPM on Linux, Windows, macOS
｢ xtool is a cross-platform (Linux/WSL/macOS) tool that replicates Xcode functionality with open standards.
Build a SwiftPM package into an iOS app
Sign and install iOS apps
Interact with Apple Developer Services programmatically ｣
I added configurable 311 color maps to the latest release of my NYC buildings app for iOS. You can make your own filter, choosing from almost 2k service request types.
It’s fun and interesting to play with; I’m excited to share it!
of course SwiftUI graphical DatePicker vertical sizing is busted. why wouldn't it be? nobody would ever actually need to display a calendar
