More from Apple with a new landing page for ARKit resources. With Google’s ARCore being announced yesterday it looks like we’re going to have an AR filled year! Oh and if you’re launching something which uses ARKit alongside iOS 11 you’ll want to have a crack at being featured. 🏆
Feels like it’s been a while since we saw much movement on Fastlane (I bet it’s been a tricky time with another acquisition) but I’m really glad to see them add compatibility with the multiple simulator support that’s coming along with Xcode 9. 📱📱📱
Xi Ge with details on the implementation of refactoring in Xcode and some information on how it can be extended. The biggest disadvantage with this is that you need to build a custom version of the Swift toolchain to get it implemented in your local Xcode. Maybe this is your chance to get started contributing to Swift though!
Rob Huebner with a great story of how a small request for a typography change turned into a large engineering task and the incidental implementation of dynamic text across a whole app!
We should all be familiar with error handling in Swift by now, but do you know how it works? Do you want to? 😎 If so, let Mike Ash explain everything, as is his way! There’s also some great additional information in the comments too.
Now that we have at least a few interesting ways (1, 2, 3) to get After Effects animations into Core Animation, how about getting design assets from Sketch into AE? Josh Fleetwood from Google Design introduces us to a new tool for doing exactly that.
What’s in a name? Ryan Nystrom goes through the whole process of coming up with a new name for his open source GitHub app, GitHawk.
This is amazing. I knew that being able to integrate rating prompts directly into an app would be more convenient for users, but I’d never have imagined such a drastic change. I still have a problem with the method of implementation that Clément Delangue talks about here by asking users to rate twice and only showing the real prompt to those users who would rate it 4⭐️ or above, but I do understand why people make that decision.
Talking of Lottie (in the Design category) this talk from Dave Counts is well worth watching. He makes some great points!
That’s Numberwang!
