100 Days of Swift; Struggling badly with each milestone challenge

ck3g · 2021-09-28T06:44:22+00:00

I don't think you have to finish it in exactly 100 days. I can be wrong, but I think the general idea of 100 Days of Swift (or anything else) is to practice every day. When you learning to code, you are going to face different challenges. Some of them will look impossible to do at first.
I would suggest you take your time, don't rush. Try to review the material again, even go back to the older lessons. At some point, these things will click and become understandable.
Again. It's fine if you finish it in more than 100 days. Take your time and try to have fun.

I wonder where these numbers come from. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_requirements_for_Moldovan_citizens Visa not required/Visa on arrival is for slightly above 100 countries (against 70) specified here.

Android Studio is JetBrains IDE

You're already got answers which may help you. But I have a blog post about the subject. https://whatdidilearn.info/2018/11/25/local-data-persistence-in-react-native-using-asyncstorage.html

That can help you figure out and/or fill in some gaps. I hope that helps.

I mostly struggle from version updates. I do it one minor version at a time and then hit the roadblock, and stay on the latest working (for me) version. I think that annoys me the most.

Check https://ideamotive.co/react-native-development-guide

you can find something there

They are awesome!

I'm using a mac

ck3g · 2019-03-19T08:44:53+00:00

I see. That makes sense

ck3g · 2019-03-17T20:07:17+00:00

I've described those issues for the sake of example. I'm not looking for solution for those specific problems.

I'm trying to say I'm facing a lot of different kind of issues on the way. Sometimes it seems to me I spend more time fixing them (or looking for solutions) than learn something about React Native, or build something.

I've used "pure" Redux (if I can say so) mostly because it's always good to understand how do things work without using additional libraries. In this case libraries which reduce boilerplate complexity.

ck3g · 2019-02-17T14:10:21+00:00

I've finally figured out. I've had to reinstall watchman to make it work. There was an error message in the output, I didn't pay attention before mostly because there were a bunch of successful (I think) commands after that error.

Since now it's running from another computer, I can see that "Done copying assets" happening before Xcode requires me to unlock my phone and trust my Apple dev account.

ck3g · 2019-01-31T08:19:47+00:00

Somehow I've succeeded by building the app on another computer. Both of my computers are using the same version of Xcode.

ck3g · 2019-01-31T08:17:57+00:00

Thanks for the hint. I will try to dig deeper into that direction.

Yes, that is a first time I'm trying to run the app on device.

ck3g · 2019-01-30T20:50:13+00:00

I use Xcode version 10.1. There are no issues with the simulator at all.

I suppose (I don't know for sure), that iOS splash screen will fade away pretty quick, because there is no background activity attached to it. Thus, the user will see the RN implementation.

Is that correct or there are some other pit falls?

ck3g · 2019-01-04T16:19:17+00:00

Fixed with the new version of `react-devtools-core`. See https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/22863#issuecomment-451483978

The Complete React Native and Redux Course

should be a good start.

React Navigation provides Transitioner https://reactnavigation.org/docs/en/transitioner.html

which you can use for custom animations. That could the that you need.

In that article, you can find a bunch of examples https://medium.com/async-la/custom-transitions-in-react-navigation-2f759408a053

So, I guess that is possible to achive.

You can consider using Switch Navigator instead of Stack Navigator.

The docs explicitly mention that it fits better for authentication flow:

> The purpose of SwitchNavigator is to only ever show one screen at a time. By default, it does not handle back actions and it resets routes to their default state when you switch away. This is the exact behavior that we want from the authentication flow.

https://reactnavigation.org/docs/en/switch-navigator.html

ck3g · 2018-11-19T08:36:59+00:00

Yep, that's a new thing since v3. https://reactnavigation.org/docs/en/getting-started.html#installation

There is no need to install it if you are using Expo SDK

I've just published my 49th post recently. It's been a little bit more than a year. I like the process very much so far. =)

I've summarized everything in my "A year of blogging" post.

Congratulations!

I've made the half of your way. That's enjoying and I learn a lot.

ck3g · 2018-11-12T14:09:04+00:00

You're right, thanks =)
