You can *feel* my hopelessness when I was creating this issue:

#swift #macOSdev #programming

macOS programming question:

Is there a way to schedule a background task, so that the system executes it whenever it deems appropriate?

I want to create a func that will check for updates on a server. This is not a time-sensitive task at all, and I don’t want to waste system resources forcing it to fire every x minutes

I just want to tell the system „fire this task whenever you feel is appropriate, preferably when you’re already doing other network calls“. Is this possible?

I can’t believe it, I got banned from Apple Developer Documentation 😭 /s

Are there any intermediate to advanced macOS-focused SwiftUI tutorials out there?

Everything is for iOS :(

I wonder, is it somehow possible to listen to changes to your app’s notification settings that were changed in System Settings? I feel like re-checking the authorization status every time the app comes into the foreground is not the most elegant option… 🤔

#swift #macosdev

Just sent my first notification! There are still some things to iron out, but I’m very proud of myself 😁 (Also a sneak peek for what's coming in the next release of Cork)

#macOSDev #BuildInPublic

Sweet! Just found out that the Notification Center APIs can be used with async/await. This changes everything, mainly because I discovered this only after already writing my implementation using callbacks 😅

A question for macOS developers: Why is my NSMenuItem disabled?

I just got my earnings report from Apple, and I’m proud to announce that after being out for a year and a half, my app on the App Store made an entire 70¢

A question for the Swift macOS developers:

How can I request that the user change one of the settings for my app in Settings → Privacy & Security? Specifically, I need to prompt them for allowing my app in the „App Management“ section.

At the moment, the system prompts the user on its own, but it’s at a really inconvenient time for the UX, so I’d prefer if I could prompt for that permission at my convenience.

Looking at some of my old code, I've discovered a few funny things.

Like this from one of my first projects, where I didn't know you could just pass an entire object to a View, and instead passed the properties individually

For everyone asking why I don't use the "Refactor → Rename" feature in Xcode.

This is why.

#Xcode #iosdev #macOSDev #swift #Apple

Seems like Apple finally fixed the problem of DisclosureGroups not opening at all, but now they have a broken closing animation

#swift #SwiftUI #Apple #macOSDev

Why isn’t this enabled by default? #Swift #SwiftLang #Xcode #macOSDev #iOSDev #macDev

Adding, removing, editing, and sharing PURLs is next (including sharing the link in a status post). With all the modular architecture setup finished, it should be easy to add new features.

I wish I had more time to work on this project.

Does anyone else's #Xcode do this weird thing where it ignores placeholders?

Any idea how to fix it? Restarting doesn't help

I've added Account to the sidebar menu, so that the user can set the default address used by the app.

What’s the best instance for #macOS and #iOS devs? I’m looking for a nice “Local Timeline” to follow. Thanks! #macOSDev #iOSDev #Swift #SwiftUI

Oh by the way, I'm https://bearologics.social/@marcus on #Mastodon now (again). Find me there and get in touch about #iOSDev #macOSDev #SwiftDev and maybe #Motorcycles.
