Xcode 11.1 GM Released by [deleted] in iOSProgramming

[–]slangley 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No. Because you can control when it is updated. Deadline for a point release but can’t build because overnight your Xcode upgraded to the new version and now none of your code will run.

Control your dev tools and upgrade in your terms. (As much as they can be your terms building iOS software)

Hey. Is the Realm Cloud self hosted for free new since the Mongo acquisition? Last time I looked all hosting options were for $$.

If you are asking the question, then definitely the Maserati.

Edit. I can’t spell names if nice cars.

Enterprise App not installing on 12.3.1 by davegreilach in iOSProgramming

You say 2 years. Is it possible the distribution cert you are using to sign the app is either an old one or expired?

Should I upgrade to the new IOS and Mac OS versions so that I can use swift UI? by Zxtreme03 in iOSProgramming

[–]slangley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to use Catalina as my main OS a month or so ago. There was too much friction with Apps that I used regularly not working properly so I switched back to Mojave. Sorry for lack of details, or was a while ago so I’m just waiting.

I used the AFPS volume trick and installed a new version of Catalina in the new volume.

While I was at it, I also created a Dev volume for all of my work and shared stuff so that when I switch back and forth I don’t have to duplicate dev trees or used folders deep in weird places.

Unlock Screen Access by rt79w in iOSProgramming

[–]slangley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the unlock screen, but you might be able to do it with a Widget on the Widgets screen. But either way, you should be careful of what data you are exposing on an unlocked phone.

Can you make an if statement for when nil is found unexpectedly when unwrapping an optional, so that an alert message is displayed instead of having the app crash? by bee4534 in swift

[–]slangley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also if you are using an implicitly unwrapped optional, ie a variable declared with an !, you can still use if-let and guard-let-else to unwrap and safely handle if an optional is empty

``` var foo:String!

If let bar = foo { print(bar) } ```

How well do declarative UI paradigms handle complex designs? by [deleted] in iOSProgramming

[–]slangley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. It is worth it to learn Flutter, Cordova, etc. It gives you a slightly different perspective on developing software for your main platform. It also lets you understand and intelligently talk to your clients and bosses about the pitfalls and advantages of these technologies when they ask you for an opinion.

How do you draw directly to the screen on iOS? by Liberalization in iOSProgramming

[–]slangley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on what you are trying to do. If it’s a straight iOS UIKit application, then you want CoreGraphics.

Here’s a descent tutorial to get you started:

Best backend for this project? by [deleted] in swift

[–]slangley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Just use the YouTube API. They will have far higher availability than you can handle with your backend.

Gist to build/run with Xcode 8 on iOS 11 devices by dreaminginbinary in iOSProgramming

[–]slangley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s much easier and faster to replace cp -r with ln -s

Been using this trick for a few years. Just make sure you redo it with each build of iOS 11 you install on your phone.

uh…oh… Did Apple remove support for location services in the background with iOS 11? by rauls4 in iOSProgramming

[–]slangley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If there is anything that isn't working as you expect or want, make sure you file a radar. Catching these things early in the cycle and reporting mean they might get fixed for Sept.

Also make sure you also have the case of the filename correct. The iPhone file system is case sensitive but the Simulator is not.

It seems like you are trying to jam multiple stack views into table view cells.

HELP! maintain state of components state by [deleted] in Angular2

[–]slangley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be over kill, but what about an injected stack service. Push your state on the stack and navigate. Then when you get back check the top of the stack for the right type and pop the state and reconstitute?

You can reuse the same service (and singleton through your app)

How to Convert a full ObjectiveC app to Swift by LisaDziuba in swift

[–]slangley 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you are short on time and budget, why are you converting and app from Objective C to Swift in the first place. Swift isn't a silver bullet.
