Two new entitlements so apps may provide additional payment processing options for users. But only if you’re writing a dating app, and only if it’s on the App Store in the Netherlands. 🙄
If you’ll allow me to quote myself from Issue 524:
It’s likely that Apple will do nothing more than what is required
Unfortunately, it’s playing out as I predicted. I also stand by saying that these lawsuits would only make things more complicated and, ultimately, worse.
I was aware that the official Swift book had existed in a couple of other languages, but it’s always worth celebrating a new one! Here’s a Spanish version of the official language guide translated by Mauricio Paternina. 🎉
I’m on an 84-day Spanish streak in Duolingo right now. I wonder if I’ll ever be able to read this version? Yo necesito estudiar Español muy. (I know my use of “muy” isn’t right, but I don’t know the word for “more” yet! 😬)
I had to read this tweet from Robb Böhnke twice to realise he wasn’t talking about ⌘⇧4 then space to select a window. This is ⌘⇧4, then space, then hold ⌘! I’ve wanted this functionality so many times! Try it in Xcode with the code completion dropdown. 🤯
Have you ever had to talk someone through finding a debug message in Console.app? It’s a powerful app, but it can be confusing to talk someone through using it. This utility from Matthias Gansrigler will be of more use to developers of macOS apps than iOS, but don’t forget you can connect Console.app to your phone, too!
Daniel Jalkut follows up on this little hack from last week with another way to achieve the same convenience using his FastScripts app.
Maybe you don’t have an excuse to buy the StreamDeck, after all. 😅
I liked Tjeerd in ‘t Veen’s advice in this post about adding Swift concurrency support to your library to think about the external interface before the internals. It’s still early for Swift concurrency, but when you start thinking about it, I’d give this a read!
Natascha Fadeeva wrapped up a three-part series on CryptoKit this week, and it’s well worth a read if you’re interested in getting to grips with the framework. Start with her posts on public-key cryptography and hashing before this one if you want the complete picture!
I liked this post from Tiago Maia explaining the basics of creating a Swift package and understanding the manifest file. If you’ve never made a package before and have been wanting to extract part of an app into something reusable, this is a great place to start!
Why not enjoy one or two of the latest set of Tech Talk videos from Apple. Some are more IT-focused than developer-focused, but I’m sure you’ll find something to tempt you. Maybe “Tips for preventing common review issues”?
