It's a few year's old by now, but @aleen’s App Launch Map is still a fantastic resource and reference guide for when it's time to launch an app or update: https://applaunchmap.com/

#IndieDev #iOSdev #macOSdev

In good news, WeatherKit in macOS 14 beta 5 seems to be fixed for daily forecasts. #macOSDev

Not sure if a pipe dream or a realistic goal but living the indie iOS / macOS / watchOS developer lifestyle while living in Tokyo is constantly plaguing me these days. There’s a lot of hurdles to overcome first and living in Melbourne is amazing. #iOSDev #macOSDev #indiedev

As today has resulted in rebuilding the Xcode project for RideStats I’m confronted with situations of “how did this ever work” and “where’s the missing details so this just works”. I just want a package.swift equivalent that I can use instead of the project file. #iOSDev #macOSDev

Yeah, I'm just going to YOLO this branch in. The feature is far from done but it's super unproductive to have the branch just grow and grow and grow. #iOSDev #macOSDev #watchOSDev

So, I can continue with the rather incoherent disjointed stream of incoherent musings about my weekend dev work, or I could just plan on doing a twitch stream at some stage tomorrow. Might be fun just to hang out with people while I work away at some code. Will need some prep work so I don't get distracted, but it could be a lot of fun. #iOSDev #macOSDev

Yeah, nah, this isn't a responsibility for that service. It should be its own service. #iOSDev #macOSDev #watchOSDev

So using SwiftData and Previews in Xcode is a known pile of hurt right now right? It just fails to compile for everyone or is it just me doing the wrong thing? UI is a SPM package and the model definitions are in a different ~castle~ SPM package. #iOSDev #macOSDev #SwiftData

Anyone have good resources for learning more about AsyncStream and AsyncSequence in #swift? #iOSDev #macOSDev

Okay, I think I have a weekend task now. I need to write a macOS app that sends my music selection to mastodon. MusicKit, SwiftUI and likely @tootsdk #iOSDev #macOSDev

It's perfectly okay to steal good architecture and design principles when working on side projects. Not everything needs to re-invent the wheel. #iOSDev #macOSDev #watchOSDev

Is there a way within Xcode to visualise the dependency graph of SPM packages? #xcode #iOSDev #macOSDev

Today includes a lot of cleaning up SPM dependencies and structure. Spinning off some more packages so that different targets only need to depend on what's required. #iOSDev #watchOSDev #macOSDev

Individual iOS developer. :xcode:
Developer account separate from personal account?
Yes or no?

#iosdev #macosdev #developer #code #apple

I think it’s time for a mastodon thread of “how long have you been doing macOS or iOS development for”. Here’s my contribution. #macOSDev #iOSDev

This morning in Amy watches #wwdc videos is “Beyond the basics of structured concurrency” https://developer.apple.com/wwdc23/10170 #iOSDev #macOSDev #watchOSDev

For any Apple developers out there, it would be great to have a watchlist / recently watched feature in the developer app to track what videos have already been viewed. FB12564067 #wwdc #iOSDev #macOSDev #watchOSDev

As amazing as the enhancements to Maps in SwiftUI are with iOS 17 / macOS 14, it didn't take long before I hit a situation where what I'm wanting to achieve is a bit tricker than I thought. #iOSDev #macOSDev

Okay Apple friends, looks like if you have embedded frameworks / libraries in an Xcode project that use filter rules, adding visionOS to the supported platforms will remove the filters. FB12413753

Right, since I've moved instances, maybe it's time for a new #Introduction !

I'm Dachary, a human living in southwest Vermont with a hubby, two dogs, and a cat. I write for a living - both words and code. I also write for fun. I'm a #TechnicalWriter or #EducationEngineer depending on who you ask, an #iOSDev and #macOSDev hobbyist using #SwiftUI and #Realm, and I love #coffee way too much.

Posting a lot lately about dev stuff but I also run #DND for fun and putter around on my tractor a lot.
