My favorite thing about WWDC videos is when they skip over details and refer you to previous WWDC videos that are no longer available 🙃

@jsq my second favorite thing is when the code in the presentation is outdated and no longer works because APIs were deprecated during the beta cycle 🙃

Yes, thank you 🙃

The curious case of Apple's third-party SDK list for privacy manifests

https://www.jessesquires.com/blog/2024/04/29/sdk-privacy-manifests/

calicoding,
@calicoding@mastodon.social avatar

@jsq Apple’s requirements for these select third party SDKs also include a “signature”. So it could be that some of these libraries are targets of supply chain attacks.

calicoding,
@calicoding@mastodon.social avatar

@dt @jsq I think signatures are only required for binary distributions, which makes sense I suppose

calicoding,
@calicoding@mastodon.social avatar

@dt @jsq 💯 agree. There’s been a lack of clarity from Apple on this. Though I admit the documentation on the contents of the privacy manifest are pretty good

calicoding,
@calicoding@mastodon.social avatar

@jsq @dt I agree, but I’m not sure if there’s a better solution. System boot times are strong vectors for fingerprinting, but if Apple just removed (or broke) those APIs all kinds of apps with legitimate use cases would break. Not sure what’s up with UserDefaults, seems ridiculous to have to justify its usage.

Googling UITextInteraction's quirks when I came across PSPDFKit’s blog post that concludes with this. I guess I've come full circle 😄 https://pspdfkit.com/blog/2023/adopting-uitextinteraction/

    @schwa is this maybe related to your Apple ID issues @mjtsai ?

    Found an interesting MainActor isolation edge case today. Below is a reduced example. If you have a nested function declared on a MainActor isolated type, but within a closure that is not MainActor isolated, it raises an error.

    Note that the closure for UIDeferredMenuElement.uncached is not annotated @.MainActor, but UIDeferredMenuElement itself is. Oddly, you can access MainActor isolated state within this closure, just not from within the nested function.

    Any ideas what's going on?

    calicoding,
    @calicoding@mastodon.social avatar

    @mattiem yes it does! Also, bar() seemingly does not need to include self when referencing viewModel??

    calicoding,
    @calicoding@mastodon.social avatar

    @mattiem defining a closure instead does not exhibit this issue. It’s wild!

    In Xcode 15.4, SPM now auto-generates Swift symbols for catalog assets.
    That's great! Except they're declared internal, therefore they're useless in a package whose sole purpose is defining a Design System 😕

    calicoding,
    @calicoding@mastodon.social avatar

    @layoutSubviews I think I filed a FB on this during WWDC last year. Without configurable access control this feature is kind of a joke

    You would think that Apple would link to the homepage or GitHub for all the specific SDKs the listed here... but of course they don’t. Because if you're a third-party developer, then fuck you.

    @jsq something I can’t figure out, the privacy manifests for 3rd party SDKs are only integrated into your app when the libraries are dynamically linked. Seems like most folks will use static linking, even with the libraries included here. So what happens then? Statically linked libraries also don’t include a signature as far as I can tell

    calicoding,
    @calicoding@mastodon.social avatar

    @jsq exactly. We use some of these SDKs so I guess we’ll see what happens soon 🤷‍♂️

    Reminder that the swift compiler has some internal magic for invocations of DispatchQueue.main.async, where it automatically applies @._unsafeMainActor. Big thanks to @ole for his investigation:

    Someone on the team asks me questions about some really old code

    Me: spends 2 minutes on GH looking at file/commit history and answers all the questions

    This must be the new “let me google that for you”

    Ugh, I never get an onsite ticket. Even though I register both through my work and personal dev accounts. I suppose it’s a good thing it doesn’t amount to much anymore. But still, it might be nice to meet some of you all in person. Maybe I’ll try to explore some other local events.

    new fear unlocked

    how are we supposed to implement the delegate pattern now in Swift?

    calicoding,
    @calicoding@mastodon.social avatar

    @krzyzanowskim yeah I honestly do not know how to solve this. The delegate reference could be zeroed on any thread, how can that possibly be thread safe? Maybe only if both Foo and FooDelegate are MainActor isolated, which may not be appropriate.

    @jsq here’s the thing, isn’t UserDefaults already sandboxed? So how could its use contribute to fingerprinting?

    @mattiem @jsq can this ever be safe though? KVO notifications can come on any thread. Even if the observed property is MainActor isolated, is there any way to pass that through the type system to the observation?

    I bought a couple new toys in the past week. One is a future-facing headset with mind-blowing visual effects, and the other is a 1961 scooter that rocks my world. The scooter was cheaper.
