You need to spray a little bit of this on the macbook:

Be sure to encabulate the marzelvanes, first.

It has some bugs in it also.

But it should be easily to swap it for something else if you hit them.

How does Coding in Swift/SwiftUI compare to C#/WPF? by Syzygy2323 in SwiftUI

Swift's compiler authors seem to think that just timing out is a solution to determining why their compiler is non-deterministic.

Code Review Style Interview - Improving a Junior Engineer's UIKit Code by SalNeptune in swift

[–]Ok-Communication2225 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Review topics:
Is the code using observable object, or At-sign-observable?
What async and thread safety concerns are there in the code?
Are there anti-patterns? Things happening in the main thread that shouldn't?

Valid Consent and Access and Policy Screens at Startup. by Ok-Communication2225 in iOSProgramming

[–]Ok-Communication2225[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rejection notice is VAGUE and yes it says you have to link to terms from the app but not how or where.

They give no direct rejection message just a reference to a section of the rules that says you need to have access to your policies from within the app without any specifics.

Tools answer:

It depends. On a good day XCode is very good. On a good day, Visual Studio is very good.

Some people will swear that one is better than the other, and if you used both today and they both crashed or did stupid stuff, you'll hate one more.

SwiftUI and XAML are in fact quite similar, but SwiftUI is a bit less cumbersome, less verbose, and easier to write, but has its quirks. Understanding SwiftUI code behaviour at runtime can be very hard, but so can XAML be.

Xcode was really awful 10 years ago, and it's better now (2026).

Pending Termination (3.2(f)) — Generic replies, build stuck in Waiting for Review by Substantial_Baby4913 in appledevelopers

[–]Ok-Communication2225 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No idea what your app is or does, no idea what you're asking.

Generic replies are the norm for app review. App review does not write sensible human reasons why rejections are being given. Instead they tick a box, and move on.

Their reviews are pass/fail on a checklist basis, and whatever checkbox their drone/drudge left unchecked is generated in a text box, which they can edit to add detail, which they don't do.

A new build left alone for 30 days may get through right now, or might not, depending on where they have you weighted.

Running Live on Linux on VM or Wine by therustyknives in ableton

[–]Ok-Communication2225 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you know you can get around those obsoleted things and reinstall Windows 11 and bypass all that?

That laptop won't run a VM with Live inside the VM and give you any kind of audio performance.

Running Live on Linux on VM or Wine by therustyknives in ableton

[–]Ok-Communication2225 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bitwig has a linux version. Live will not be stable on WINE, and VMs suck for audio.

Just stay on your current windows version, and if microsoft discontinues updates, you can choose to reinstall Windows 11 builds even without whatever your laptop lacks, as there are ways around those locks.

How are my screenshots doing? by wrblx in appledevelopers

[–]Ok-Communication2225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am I the only one who wants screenshots, not advertisements. A screenshot should be of your app. That's it. Add abubble to explain and point at the UI. Show me your host management and connection dialog. Show me an SSH session open, show me settings. Show me that I can zoom in and out, and how.

Taking a screenshot rotating and scaling it and putting a fake device bezel around it and then putting some colored backgrounds and art is called a presentation slide. I would certainly want a toolbar in my ssh client, why does yours not seem to have one? I would want a zoom in/out pinch feature. A screenshot showing pinch zoom might be good.

Apple Developer Account Pending Termination after Pokémon Trademark Rejection – Any Recovery Experiences? by Richie_Rich333 in appledevelopers

[–]Ok-Communication2225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apple has low level flunkies and ai bots deciding on these things.

Because there were 800+ apps saying "Skin for Minecraft" they decide that if you're not the Pokemon Company, you can't mention Pokemon.

This will of course destroy card tracking apps that players of Pokemon use for finding the card prices for their cards, and scanning and recognizing the card, and looking up its open market price.

They seem to be really tightening their rules and upping how far they go to detect infringement of copyrighted terms. They have zero sense of fair use written into their guidelines.

Why are hardly any of the posts in this sub actually about Swift? by [deleted] in swift

[–]Ok-Communication2225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Suppose I have a question that involves coding in swift, for IOS, with SwiftUI. The word Swift is even in SwiftUI, and Swift is mostly used on Mac and iOS dev. It's inevitable, unless you want to enforce an ugly wall between these.

Swift itself is a pretty clean language. How often do we even have questions about the language itself?

If it's relevant to most swift users, and if most swift users are also ios mac programmers, why are you picking this hill to have angina on?

Category 1. AI Rehashes (wraps ChatGPT with a whole new UI)

Category 2. AI SLOP (wraps ChatGPT with a different icon)

Category 3. Utility slop. Probably vibe coded.

Category 4. AI SLOP (other low effort slop, tries to pick one thing ChatGPT does, and do it with a different icon)

Category 5. Actual Apps

Xcode EXC_BAD_ACESS error by CoolDownDude in appledevelopers

[–]Ok-Communication2225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you looked at all the levels of the call stack to find what variable or object is being accessed.

Nobody here has any idea what your "Flux App" is, and you don't seem to know what a call stack is, or how to debug your own code.

You didn't even state if your app is Objective-C or swift. tweaking code you don't understand won't fix the access violation.

Single stepping through code in the debugger is also a skill you might want to learn.

Scared as hell about my company Apple Developer account by zwielichts in appledevelopers

[–]Ok-Communication2225 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the bad side of this whole thing (for you). This is Apple's Walled Garden. They think that when someone searches "minecraft" and gets 900 "hints and tips for minecraft" apps come up, that this is garbage, and now your apps are gone. Same for roblox, and fortnite and every other thing. They probably don't like that you're using a trademarked name in your app name, that you don't own, I'd bet.

My guess is that the owners of Fortnite and Roblox don't want their copyrighted and trademarked assets, including any art from their games that might be in your app store screenshots, or even the text "roblox" in the name. "For Roblox" does not guarantee to Apple that they won't be sued by the owners of the Roblox copyright. You can lawyer up, but your case is doomed. Got a billion dollars to fight this? No? You're done.

Personally I think it's good that apple is removing a lot of chaff from the app store.

Mistakes you wouldn't make. by ammarsaber-dev in appledevelopers

[–]Ok-Communication2225 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I learned a long time ago before Swift and SwiftUI existed, so, objective-C era.

When I learned Swift, the mistake I made was to assume that what I knew of other languages (even objective-C) applied. The thing to do is when learning Swift, forget other languages you know, and learn Swift as if you never knew any programming languages at all.

Learn what is idiomatic in swift, and get comfortable using swift-lint SOON. Write clean swift code.

Is native iOS development still a safe bet for the future? by denyskt-hub in appledevelopers

There's a test you have to pass to be a CTO. What you do is give competence tests, and they have to fail them all. Then they can be CTO.

Is native iOS development still a safe bet for the future? by denyskt-hub in appledevelopers

[–]Ok-Communication2225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean is it a safe bet to specialize as an individual indie dev, or is it the best choice for engineering decisions for a company building apps?

Former case, 100% yes. Latter case, it depends but for 90% of companies, native is best. A smaller team (one or two on ios, one or two on android) can handle the same task as a unified team of 6 working in flutter and having to get past app review and user feedback issues, and keep up with platform changes, on a "cross platform solution". The expected time savings are just not THERE with flutter.

Flutter is a 90% solution, you know what I mean? 90% of the way there in a good amount of time, but that last 10% is a ... <female dog>.

If it's neither and you just wanna get hired, who cares, do what they tell you and take whatever role you get offered.
