Readaggregator - iOS, Swift, Apple, Programming, Mobile

2021-10-06 16:06:52 Interesting improvement. Starting with iOS 15 Apple extended the Codable protocol with a configuration object that gives a bit more control for the encoding and decoding processes.

2021-09-27 21:13:11 Optimizing ProMotion Refresh Rates for iPhone 13 Pro and iPad Pro

Apple has prepared an article about optimizing your app to ProMotion displays. Btw it’s very useful to read if you have a lot of animations.

2021-09-24 17:36:15 I consider it's an interesting approach for fast UI development as a replacement to the Xcode playground. In my experience, SwiftUI previews are not as laggy as a playground.

p.s. Yep, previews aren't reliable as well, but... write a comment what do you think about this approach.

2021-09-16 22:47:25 Just a good reminder why it’s necessary to avoid hard-coded secret keys!

p.s. It seems obviously, but as a reminder in case you forgot to get rid of it after a development process :)

2021-08-25 20:25:34 Pointfreeco released an awesome collection of tools for debugging, diffing, and testing data structures. Custom XCTAssertEqual with a nicely formatted message is my favorite!

2021-08-21 13:20:14 Just a good reminder about Display P3 and sRGB color issues you may face during the design or development process. So if you've ever wondered why this color is so vibrant or dull, read this article to clarify the differences.

2021-08-19 21:57:45 As we're waiting for a verdict in the "Epic vs Apple" battle, the Verge and Sean Hollister haven’t just been sitting around. They’ve been digging through a ton of internal emails and confidential presentations during the legal discovery process. Afterward, they prepared dirt on a variety of other companies as well: Microsoft, Sony, Google, Nintendo, Valve, Netflix, Hulu, and many others.


Some of my favorites in order to intrigue you:
- Apple had given Netflix a sweetheart deal where it took just 15 percent of subscriptions Netflix sold in its app (1)
- The similar subscriptions situation with Microsoft Xbox... (2)
- Apple had considered launching an ‘iPhone Nano’ (8)
- April 2013. Apple considered bringing iMessage to Android (20)
- “Don’t feature competitors in the App Store” - unwritten rule (22, 17)
...

2021-08-05 23:32:41 Important to mention tip from Ole:

If you’re writing Swift concurrency code, add these compiler flags:
-Xfrontend
-warn-concurrency
-Xfrontend
-enable-actor-data-race-checks

Warnings in Swift 5.5 identify unsafe constructs, will become errors in Swift 6.
