🎙️ Been working on an awesome visionOS app that you'd love to show off now that device preorders are only a week away?

Drop it in the replies here; if you'd like to be boosted, include:

Assume the reader knows nothing about you or your projects: what is your app, what does it do?

Remember you can edit posts if you forget something, and mute the hashtag for a period if you don't want to participate

My is of Elite Hoops: http://www.elitehoopsapp.com

Elite Hoops helps basketball coaches teach and share their plays with their teams and coaching staff. Just record your play and send it to any number of popular team apps (Band, Teamsnap, etc).

It’ll be a native visionOS app available on day one. It’s also available today on macOS, iOS and iPadOS.

🎉 Side Project Announcement Time 🎉

It's been over 1,000 days since I've done this but...

I am very excited to officially announce my next app, Elite Hoops ! I am pumped to join the ranks of indie developers once again. I wrote up all about it right here: https://www.swiftjectivec.com/Introducing-Elite-Hoops/

The other day I was asked a fairly simple question:

How do you keep up with iOS and Swift?

It's a great question , so I turned it into a tiny blog post:

My post over how to use CKSyncEngine to get easy peezy CloudKit sync into your iOS 17 apps is now live!

I put a lot into this one, and I really hope it helps everyone pick up syncing in their app if they've held off. There's a demo project, explainers, a Q & A and more:

New guidelines for the Action Button just dropped in the HIG. Some highlights:

  • Offer essential functions from your app via App Shortcuts
  • Provide a short label using title style re: your actions

While writing up a doc over iOS 17 <> Buffer, I updated this list for iOS 17. These are the "main thing" announcements from dub dub each year (i.e. iOS 13 = multi windows, iOS 14 = widgets, etc)

Are there any core iOS APIs you think are missing? https://gist.github.com/DreamingInBinary/0ccd49e3578c5ae1ebb20632c6c3af73

My update for Elite Hoops with an emphasis on iOS features is out now! I'd love it if you checked it out, even if you aren't a coach or the target market.

The widgets, especially, turned out fun. And you may dig some of the animations and stuff from the "What's New" screens.

Sup soccer/fútbol fans ⚽️

I'm bringing Elite Hoops over to the pitch.

Thankfully, I can start with Elite Hoop's codebase as a foundation, but I'm completely reconfiguring it to share formations, lineups and more.

Very early, but I messed with onboarding over the weekend. This will be my main source of dogfooding Superwall too, so expect lots of insights over how to best use us in production too.

Onboarding for Elite Football Club running on iOS.

About a month ago, Apple updated their docs to mention how @StateObject initialization should happen when you have external data dependencies.

After reading through it a few times, I tried to spill it all out to make sure I understand it correctly: https://www.swiftjectivec.com/Dependency-Injection-with-State-Object-SwiftUI/

I worked so hard on widgets, shortcuts, Core Spotlight, etc for this update I figured I'd make a "Tips/How To" section to show them off.

There are some new docs from Apple to go with the new features enabled by Apple Pencil Pro — they're well-written, and they have workable sample snippets with a SwiftUI/UIKit toggle.

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/applepencil/playing-haptic-feedback-in-your-app?changes=latest_minor

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/applepencil/handling-squeezes-from-apple-pencil?changes=latest_minor

Very much appreciate this format!

Also a note from the HIG about new trackpad haptic support: "Apple Pencil Pro and some trackpads can provide haptic feedback when connected to certain iPad models"

jordanmorgan,
@jordanmorgan@mastodon.social avatar

@stroughtonsmith Is there a RSS feed for this stuff? I just wish there was an easy, obvious "hey we just added these docs" kinda deal.

AFAIK this is the best page for that, and even today I found these API updates for Apple Pencil by happenstance: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/Updates/

Elite Hoops hit 2.5k MRR today 📈

I have so many ideas and directions to take it to grow it even more. Here's hoping I hit my goal of 20k MRR sooner rather than later.

Some fun things:

  • The market is ripe for good software for basketball coaches.
  • I still haven't implemented core, highly requested features

Some hard things:

  • An institutional leader in the space released an app recently, eating heavily into my downloads.
  • Balancing Elite Hoops with other apps I wanna do.

Onwards!

@dxzdb Oh no - soccer app isn’t doing much of anything. I’ll get around to looking at that from a product standpoint eventually
