One thing I missed when Apple introduced the new phones last week is that the 14 Pro models have a different resolution than the 13 Pro models! Do you know who didn’t miss that fact? Geoff Hackworth didn’t. Here he is with his usual, incredibly detailed look at all things points and pixels for this year’s device lineup.
The first sentence of this post from Donny Wals says it all, really:
If you want to make sure that your code adopts Swift concurrency as correctly as possible in Swift 5.7, it’s a good idea to enable Strict Concurrency Checking in your project.
He has some details, of course, but his message is clear.
You may have already read the documentation or one of the articles I’ve linked to on the new SwiftUI Layout
protocol. Even if you consider yourself well-researched on the subject, I’d recommend reading this two-part (1, 2) post from Javier Nigro. As with everything he writes, it’s worth reading twice.
The most exciting part of the Apple Watch Ultra is that it has a new button! Can we take advantage of it as app developers? If your app is activity-oriented, yes! Here’s Quentin Zervaas with a quick look at how it works.
Here’s Lee Kah Seng with a very clear example of how and when to use the new UIHostingConfiguration
APIs in iOS 16. Just look at these two technologies playing so nicely together!
When I wanted to learn about erasure, I went here and ended up reliving my late 80s school days. What I should have done is read this article from Bruno Rocha. It’s such an easy mistake to make!
One might even say that success is defined by making the right compromises at the right time.
Christopher Atlan with a post that I wish he had not had to write. I wouldn’t want to get rid of the sandbox on macOS, but posts like this are why I no longer buy Mac software on the App Store unless that’s the only place to get it. 😞
If you read a random selection of recent community blog posts, you’d be forgiven for thinking that every app uses SwiftUI and that UIKit is a legacy technology. The reality is that the vast majority of apps are still UIKit with a little SwiftUI sprinkled in here and there. It’s easy to find the rough technique for integrating the two technologies, but wouldn’t it be nice if someone were there to guide you through common scenarios? That’s where Natalia Panferova’s new book comes in. 🚀
