There’s nothing particularly new in this reminder from Apple, but it’s worth mentioning in case everything around the AppTrackingTransparency framework has somehow passed you by. Are you ready?
I thought I had linked to this little curiosity before, but a search of my archives turns up nothing. It shouldn’t be a surprise that this exists. I’d imagine we’ve all built a secret debug menu into apps that we’ve written. I know I have!. Thanks to Khoa Pham for the tip!
Note: It might be obvious, but Apple does not want you to enable this and absolutely will not guarantee what these menu commands do. If it turns out that “Capture Canvas Element Images” erases your disk, that’s on you. 😅
Note #2: Apple folks, please see rdar://987654321: “Capture Canvas Element Images” should not erase your disk. 😂
Have you ever wished for an ordered dictionary? Me too! Apple is continuing to publish more and more Swift packages, and swift-collections is their latest. Karoy Lorentey takes us through ordered sets, ordered dictionaries, and deques.
Here’s Dave DeLong writing about some of the property wrappers he’s come up with while working with SwiftUI. The clever part of all three of these wrappers is not the code, it’s how they help add better semantic meaning to your properties.
I’m fairly sure everyone reading this will have used a DateFormatter
at some point, but have you used some of the other formatting APIs? John Sundell gives us a look at formatting names, addresses, and lists. As someone who only speaks English and is a fan of the Oxford Comma, I found his comments on the internationalisation aspects of ListFormatter fascinating.
When I first saw the title of this post from Christian Selig, I thought it would be about Core Image as I’ve seen several people recommend that in the past. Of course, there’s always a more straightforward way. 👍
Unlike with iOS, you have a choice of how you’d like to sell your Mac app. Do you pop it into the Mac App Store and cross your fingers? Or, do you also sell independently? Selling outside the MAS is important, but you’ll face the problem of building a licensing system. I enjoyed this post from Bruno Rocha, which tackles the problem both conceptually and technically.
This new site from Rahul Shah is fantastic. The idea of a gallery site for inspiration is not new, but I love that this site focuses on probably one of the most critical parts of your app design, if you want to make money from it, payment screens.
