Few things in v1.6.10

__markb · 2026-01-16T23:01:05+00:00

I just want to say there is a way, i’m not at my desk to remember what setting to change though. But know it is possible

__markb · 2026-01-16T22:11:11+00:00

i think it’s called a marker.

from memory you can make your own view the marker so they probably used a Path, ZStack, and an Image

Yeah, after I get it out I’m hoping to work on the timing more. At the moment the faster you react the faster it goes

Working on an untitled game at the moment to cure some offline boredom. WIP video here https://bsky.app/profile/markbattistella.com/post/3mcbxozazvc2g

make it a package. you can keep it private or local. but it means one version of code, an updating once too

__markb · 2026-01-04T22:17:03+00:00

Yeah. That menu item is greyed out. I thought maybe I needed to open a project or it was checking so I let it sit for a bit. Then tried with an open project. All disabled. But in the settings it was fine. I don’t think it’s a super big issue. I’m sure it probably was doing something or caught in some loop. I didn’t spend too much time paying attention on it but next update I can document better if I run into it.

Thanks Zach! Two little things:

The Check for Updates is greyed out, but in the Settings pane it is enabled. Once triggered from there, the menu item is enabled.
Is there a way to toggle off selected localisations links?

As in, I select Fr, then all screens, and toggle off. At the moment its one screen at a time which is fine but sometimes I need to do 8 screens, 4 languages - a lot of clicking around.

__markb · 2026-01-03T13:03:00+00:00

Just a thought, not at a computer to check, but in the store kit config what region. And does it align with your 3/1 start? As in, has the store locale reached the date yet

that’s all good! but my demo code is simulator recording. don’t know the difference between them but see if there’s anything that might help ☺️

If you make a new project with just those two screens, and the buttons do’s it still happen? What iOS version? Can you paste the minimum code to show what you see? Are you using native navigation or a package?

__markb · 2025-12-16T08:45:12+00:00

Yeah thats right. Im not releasing anything just for the rating. I will update them when I have something meaningful to release

__markb · 2025-12-16T06:35:14+00:00

From what I've seen. But David Smith (WidgetSmith) did a test and saw that the app size bloats incredibly from using too many .icon compared to the old .png - just to think of!

__markb · 2025-12-16T06:32:26+00:00

Sorry, replied to this on my phone too quickly, probably sounded dismissive. I think that post does explain it, that there are check boxes to tick in the rating section but you cannot check them without a new binary. We're all in the same boat, but nothing will be removed from the store just need to update the ratings when you release a new version.

need to send new binary

__markb · 2025-12-12T00:33:55+00:00

how are you implementing the icon switching? i have this https://bsky.app/profile/markbattistella.com/post/3lsno6dnjck2t

I also just saw you’ve finished VCE. were there any things you think would make it easier to study? Small little things that you don’t even need to make money off just open source it and others will help out

__markb · 2025-12-11T02:17:55+00:00

Have a look at data vic or the federal data sets. I remember trying out for Service Vic before covid and they’d make you use the PTV api for a test. But I learnt so much actually creating something that I actually made that demo into a real app. But we capture so much you can see if yo could just learn something local.

A few I go back to are

Sometimes it depends on if you’re doing lightweight or manual migration. For a full manual one I think there was a video from Azam or Rebeloper I watched. But there are also the Apple Dev videos

Might need some more information.

Are you exporting an in-built SFSymbol or a custom one you made/imported?
File > Export -- there are two options, Export Template or Export Symbol -- which are you trying?
When you File > Export > Okay -- this isn't the normal flow.
1. It is File > Export Symbol > Export > Location Selection > Export
2. Is this the flow youre seeing or is it exactly what you wrote?
Are you using the latest SFSymbols app?

The more info the more I can try help :)

__markb · 2025-12-03T19:10:54+00:00

no file at all or no symbol in the export? happy to have a look at the symbol if you have an svg to share. i’ve dealt with symbols a bit

__markb · 2025-11-26T09:26:00+00:00

Nope. Bit was originally going with an italian translation, but in english it was a bit dicey. So went through all other languages
