@steveriggins Commit your Package.resolved and compile with --disable-automatic-resolution. This will make the build break if there's drift between what the manifest specifies and what resolved has locked in.
I‘ve been using these convenience APIs in all my projects for years. Never had any need for a more complex Auto Layout replacement like SnapKit for example.
@Jeehut@cocoaphony TaskGroup is for an indeterminate number of tasks, async let for when you have a fixed number. Give TaskGroup a try, it looks more boilerplate-ty than it actually is!
“This has come up several times on the forums, but I've never written it up in a standard place, so here it is: There are only three ways to get run-time polymorphism in Swift. Well, three and a half.”
Is there a way to pick a random English word from the system dictionary without having to include that entire dictionary in the app bundle?
I’m writing a CLI for some work-related stuff and need a way to generate a random English word. I don’t want to include entire dictionaries within the tool itself, so I thought there might be a way to get a random word from the system dictionary.
Can anyone point me to any resources they recommend on building Widgets for macOS which pay particular attention to dynamic configuration (selecting user created values from the main app) and interactivity? #iosdev#swift#swiftui#macdev#macos#WidgetKit
It's called Evolreader (because it's for reading Swift Evol-ution... you get it). It downloads the swift-evolution repo to your device so you can read stuff offline. It also saves your progress along the way.
I had fun making it, it's free, and maybe some of you might enjoy it. Here, have some hashtags and screenshots. #swiftlang#iosdev#macdev
I was unable to push an archive build in #Xcode until I removed some preview content? The build otherwise works fine until I try an archive. Something feels wrong there but I don’t have time to do more than comment out the “offending” code
@ctietze This! I do this all the time, even for things like ID types. It’s so much clearer to the pass a UserID type than a string. Especially if you have a lot of other things with ids.
Then the compiler won’t even let you pass the wrong thing in the future.
Helped my good mate @respraycatherine dismantle her c.1911 Swift Bicycle today - the first stage in any #restoration and nearly everything was as it should be thank goodness but we had to have a little giggle at the #chainlink !! #Swift#Cycles of #Coventry#LoopFrame#VintageCycles
This is pretty fun - in #Swift 5.9 and up, with the ability to use case and if statements to assign, you can very tersely express matching to more than one case of an enum. For example:
@danwood options are always welcome. This is a simple case, you can probably use even Sets and "contains" even. Switch might be useful if you have associated values.
@bealex@danwood another reason is that enum cases are only Equatable by default if they don't have payloads. If any of the cases you were testing for had an associated value then == wouldn't work, whereas this switch pattern still would
@pylapp Yes, of course. My aim is to create a very simple platform (along with a new iOS client). A platform that is easy to install, focused on photos, thoroughly tested. And in the future Vernissage for Pixelfed will probably be renamed (to avoid confusion).
If it was the main app target, you could select in Xcode with checkboxes which app targets include the file, so you could have MyViewIOS included only in iOS target. As far as I know, you can’t do that with packages, so conditionals it is.
