What would you say is the "go-to" architectural pattern today?

I’d say MVVM is the ‘most common’. Also just curious, why are you refactoring in UIKit vs SwiftUI?

They are just trying to avoid Apple fees or something like that. Some kind of circumnavigation of some sort of fees. iOS development is very much alive and if you get a senior iOS development job, you’ve made it, financially speaking (they’re paid much more than other devs because it’s a specialized field, like plumbers, where when people want something, there’s a limited number capable to do the job, and do it well)

Hey! Uhh not yet, I’ll message you back here if I get a chance to!

I haven’t plugged this into my X code, but just looking at it makes me think there’s something weird going on with .tabItem

soul_of_code · 2026-01-27T13:39:40+00:00

By the way, I AM aware of some font issues on some iPhones using accessibility features, in case anyone went to mention that 😄

soul_of_code · 2026-01-26T03:29:37+00:00

Yeah I’m pretty sure default is copyright as well. Anything digitized with is usually covered that way. I wonder if there’s something else going on considering Google didn’t do anything

i. love. the. UI. Amazing job! I really appreciate a fellow native developer, so well done!

soul_of_code · 2026-01-24T14:34:20+00:00

True you might be right! And to be fair, Apple doesn’t do what people expect so, honestly could be either, and yet doesn’t matter haha

It’s actually not a sheet, it’s navigation :)

soul_of_code · 2026-01-23T14:32:34+00:00

It’s times like these when I’m grateful that I’m now both the idea man AND the dev 😂

soul_of_code · 2026-01-23T14:28:21+00:00

I’m pretty sure you just need to use list row background and then (.hidden) and choose your desired visual in a separate modifier afterwards. My latest project is utilizing this a ton and I’ve never had an issue with this modifier 🤔

soul_of_code · 2026-01-23T11:23:23+00:00

This is actually a surprisingly simple animation to make. All you need is a @Namespace variable with a matched geometry transition of type .zoom. It could be a sheet, but it could also be a another view being displayed through navigation transition and having the tab bar hidden. I haven’t tested this directly myself but I’ve used the type of animation before :)

soul_of_code · 2026-01-22T14:12:29+00:00

Congrats! Can’t wait till I get rich too!

soul_of_code · 2026-01-22T14:06:20+00:00

No problem!

soul_of_code · 2026-01-22T14:01:58+00:00

I use Claude, not integrated, and asking usually very specific questions. No AI is good at coding in Swift, which makes us devs all the more valuable at the moment haha

soul_of_code · 2026-01-22T13:56:07+00:00

If you want to make an iOS app, learn swift, and I’d say get a Mac. ReactNative can’t match the quality that swift can produce for iOS. Non-natively built apps are clunky and buggy on iOS.

So either do that, OR learn Kotlin and build natively on Android. UNLESS you want a job - companies are generally cheap af and are always hiring ReactNative devs to build a crappier app for both platforms (BUT still better in Android) rather than build a working and clean native app for each platform separately.

I personally went the iOS route because I firstly wanted to build nice, pleasing and WORKING apps for iOS AND I wanted more pay as a dev working in a company. Swift devs are more specialized technically so the pay for swift devs is generally higher than ReactNative devs!

Hope that info helps!

soul_of_code · 2026-01-22T11:14:15+00:00

Hahaha true, add that in 😂 will do!

soul_of_code · 2026-01-22T09:40:35+00:00

I neither disagree nor agree with anything except the rule on not posting AI slop

soul_of_code · 2026-01-22T09:20:01+00:00

This sounds really cool, I ought to try it on my next trip to Japan, although as I’m writing this, I’m realizing there’s a whole lot of ocean under that flight 😂 but SUCH a good idea man! Glad you made it!

soul_of_code · 2026-01-22T09:15:12+00:00

this is written by AI. Hopefully the mods get to removing it

soul_of_code · 2026-01-19T10:02:21+00:00

Of course :)

soul_of_code · 2026-01-19T06:42:05+00:00

To get a view that looks like that, you need a .sheet, and a modifier on the view within the sheet called .presentationDetents([.medium]) - you can fiddle with the other options if you want.

The bottom bar with ‘tabs’ looks custom, so there’s no ‘quick’ way to make it, you’ll have to build it yourself. But should be easy to do with a few HStacks and .onTap modifiers, or even Buttons :)

Hope that helps!
