Apple Weather App (Benja’s Version)
A minimalist take inspired by the original Apple Weather app.

Very rewarding to be at the point where new features build on foundational code I've already written

Added export of maps as images and copying a map to the clipboard in about 2 hours.

That may not seem all that quick but consider you are starting with #Xcode -> New Project and think about how much goes into getting to what feels like magic where you press Cmd-C and boom, there is an image of the map on the clipboard.

Random Xcode shortcut discovery: if you're using a string catalog (e.g. Localizable.xcstrings) and you have a call to something that takes a String.LocalizationValue or LocalizedStringKey (e.g. String(localized:) or any SwiftUI component like Text() that takes a localized key argument), command-clicking on the string constant will jump you directly to the corresponding entry in the string catalog. #Xcode #SwiftUI

I never said how much I appreciate the person at Apple who decided to add specific doc links to every separate notarisation error

I had high hopes for predictive code completion in Xcode, but the kind of mistakes it generates make it a net-negative for me. Here's my thoughts on that. #Xcode #iOSDev #Swift

Today, I wanted to navigate around without the mouse in #Xcode more.

So I picked up Cmd+Ctrl+J to jump to definition of the thing at the cursor. I used to do this with a click. No more!

How do you deal with OSLog/Logger not logging in #Xcode Previews, only the print function?

I'm currently using this but it's boring. And the OSLogMessage interpolation makes it hard to wrap it.

Any better way to do that?

Still blows my mind you can create icons for your ui with gpt 4o image model without hiring an expensive graphic designer #iosdev #swiftui #xcode #indiedev

It’s wild that Google beat Apple in bringing a full IDE to the iPad with Firebase Studio.

I can now build Android apps on an iPad using #AndroidStudio—just like on a Mac.

Meanwhile, Xcode on iPad? Still missing after all these years.

Embarrassing.

Cool, I just discovered that #Xcode Simulator will read restrictions that you set on your mac from an MDM. You'll have to restart the ”device” for changes to take effect, but still less hassle than enrolling a physical device.

Hey, does anyone know how to solve this (iOS 16 only) error? symbol not found `_$s10Foundation8CalendarV10IdentifierO16debugDescriptionSSvg`.
It does not happen on higher versions. #iosdev #ios #indiedev #appstore #xcode #ios16

hey! Got something to talk about for #macOS or #iOS? Or one of Apple’s other platforms? Submit a talk to our awesome conference in #Naarm #Melbourne!

Uggghh so it's time to update macOS for #Xcode 16.3 soon

Help!!!
Does anyone know how to address ITMS-90048: This bundle is invalid - Your archive contains paths that are not allowed: [._Symbols]
My is being rejected from AppStore Connect since Xcode 16.3, and now even switching back to 16.2 or older branches it will give me the same issue.

Not sure what this is exactly…

Any guidance is greatly appreciated

If you have any previews in your #Xcode projects that are using the `return someView{}` syntax the latest update will return an error for this.

The error is that you are not returning a `some SwiftUI.View` type regardless if the view you are returning is in fact a SwiftUI.View.

I've not refactored my code around this yet but if you have this sort of pattern you may want to hold off on updating

(devlog) the placeholder. that bugged me for a while

the culprit is to separate representations. both are used as a source of truth for different parts of the system. the UI deals with ui-representation; everything else relies on text-representation. that is a common design in wysiwyg/richtext editor.

of all code editors I'm aware, i find #xcode editor placeholder the most beautiful, and I plan to copy that ux

PSA: don't upgrade macOS 15.4 if you need #Xcode 16.2[1] - debugger crashing https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/775563

[1] Xcode 16.3 Swift has changes that may make the project no longer compile.
