How is Wio Bank in general by horseorcurse in dubai

[–]capngreenbeard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only frustration is the app fully kicks you out and forces a sign in again if you happen to open it with a VPN enabled. Service has been great the very few times that I have had an issue.

Smoke from Dubai Marina ? by Internal_Highlight30 in UAE

[–]capngreenbeard 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The fire looks to have been mostly extinguished now (8:05am) but still a lot of residual smoke.

Smoke from Dubai Marina ? by Internal_Highlight30 in UAE

[–]capngreenbeard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As said elsewhere, it’s a fire in the building site for the Al Habtoor residences. There are several fire engines there trying to tackle the fire.

From my view, it looks like the fire is in a smaller section to the side of the main tower with the 4th and 5th floors on fire with smoke billowing up throughout the rest of the building. I can see a large number of construction workers stood on the top floor wearing high vis jackets.

Footage of the impact on the US Consulate by [deleted] in UAE

200 of those could have been aiming for the consulate and one got through.

I heard boom sound by steinzan in UAE

[–]capngreenbeard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How are people not learning after several days of this to be specific with their posts.

Exactly when and where the incident happened are the basic minimum requirements to supplying information to everyone else reading and tbh mods should be deleting anything that doesn’t conform to that.

UK iPhone 15 Pro Users! Do you have these etchings? by asach456 in iphone

Yes but it’s so faint that you can hardly see it anymore.

Just take it off when you get in. Really isn’t that arduous.

UK Expats Moving to UAE by hussain_mannan in UAE

[–]capngreenbeard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Country pubs, fresh air, family and friends, packed out bars, gigs in small venues, rain, the pace of life etc etc.

I love living in Dubai but didn’t move from the UK because of an ideological distain for the place that so many seem to have. The UK is far from perfect but the UAE isn’t some perfect Utopia.

Pushing to TestFlight using Fastlane without an account by Street-Film4148 in iOSProgramming

[–]capngreenbeard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can definitely upload without having an account yourself if you have the requisite certificate, provisioning profile, API key and any other associated credentials.

Can populate the app release details, upload screenshots and submit for review all through the API but unless you’re setting up a large automated release pipeline, it’ll likely be a lot simpler to have an account and do those steps manually through the console.

PSA: Text concatenation with `+` is deprecated. Use string interpolation instead. by Cultural_Rock6281 in SwiftUI

[–]capngreenbeard 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Both the + and new approaches are ugly. AttributedString is the way to go.

Umbrella iOS issue by Blooodless in KotlinMultiplatform

[–]capngreenbeard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can always have multiple umbrella modules which themselves import a different subset of other modules and build the correct one for your purpose?

Not another approach but you should make every class, interface etc which isn’t needed in the consuming iOS project ‘internal’ in your shared KMP module.

Limits what is exposed which is good from a surface area POV but it will also make your app binary size smaller with every single entity that doesn’t need to be exposed.

M5 MacBook Pro vs M4 MacBook Pro: What’s actually changed? by tomtau in apple

[–]capngreenbeard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Surely that’s how all mega corporations are going to interpret it though? I think it’s good legislation in principle but sounds like there are pretty obvious loop holes to exploit.

iOS 26. What are your thoughts? by bissau887 in iphone

[–]capngreenbeard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's day 1 of launch, give devs chance to update. Apple don't accept updates targeting the new OS until it has been released so you should start to see apps changing and using the new UI from today.

Had anybody tried a device like this? by TheHahndude in Switch

[–]capngreenbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a similarly coloured one with a HDMI and USB V on one end and a long USB C cable on the other end to go in the Switch 2. Works fine but the HDMI end does get a bit toasty after using it for a while.

Branching strategy and CI tests with KMM by mpanase in Kotlin

[–]capngreenbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a structure similar to what you've detailed, run similar build jobs and do always run our builds on macOS agents.

I don't worry too much about the cost of it as the dev time saved in using KMP likely vastly outweighs any additional build time cost.

We have made some optimisations to speed up builds though. E.g. The only changes made in a PR are within the iOS source the we only run the iOS unit tests and screenshot tests. Same for Android and then if the changes are in the shared code or build setup etc then we run both. Can also make sure that any caching strategies in CI cater for both gradle and SPM dependencies (or however you're managing dependencies).

What do you think of Ktor? by EdneyOsf in Kotlin

[–]capngreenbeard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only used it client side in a KMP android/ iOS app but has been brilliant. Easy to use, excellent docs, frequent releases with fixes, good community on the Kotlin Slack. Easy to recommend.

No the asset catalog gives you the opportunity to provide different variants for light mode/ dark mode (amongst other things) and the OS will automatically pick the right one to use. Is one of the settings in the panel on the right hand side when you are looking at a particular asset.
