@BasicAppleGuy animated lock / home screens?

Turning on strict concurrency checking doesn't protect you from accidentally blocking the main actor. Something I find way too easy to do as I learn how to use Swift Concurrency #Swift #SwiftUI https://useyourloaf.com/blog/swiftui-tasks-blocking-the-mainactor/

jasonhowlin,

@kharrison I would expect that calling sleep within a function marked to run on the main actor (main thread) will block, regardless of the function being marked async. I suppose adding nonisolated removes the MainActor requirement and then runs within the view’s task context.

    @schwa good observation! I tackled a couple of Boutique Hotel bags AND an IKEA piece (which is like big, heavy Lego), and hands are killing me lol.

    Holy crap! These reports of people's Apple Watch Ultra 2 getting "hacked" (link below).

    Imagine looking at your watch and seeing ghost tapping and typing.

    Could this be a bug? Reports all from a few weeks ago. Anyone know more about this?

    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255453237?sortBy=best

    jasonhowlin,

    @davemark looks to me like the system is detecting random input and gestures, but not from some remote attack. Similar to how water can cause random input.

    I recall hearing recently about Apple alerting technicians to “ghost input” issues. This must be that!

    ⚠️🥽
    Vision Pro face scratches really easily:

    "The test based on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness shows that the front glass of the Vision Pro gets slightly scratched at level two, with deeper scratches at level three. The glass on most smartphones scratches at levels six and seven."

    DON'T DROP IT!!! Or put it in a bag without the case.

    jasonhowlin,

    @davemark why is this made of glass anyway?

    Gray_Wind, to SwiftUI

    I cannot figure out how to track changes of a property in a model. This little sample shows views created with a binding of a chosen color, When you change the color, previous views are not being updated, new ones are created with the new color. What am I missing? @swift #SwiftUI https://gist.github.com/Gray-Wind/eff203d2c5d32721fac0e8d44483fcf8

    jasonhowlin,

    @Gray_Wind @swift I don't believe Binding should be used outside of a SwiftUI view.

    Is the #SwiftData really missing symbols, or am I doing something very wrong?

    I can only reproduce this assertion failure when profiling my app in Instruments, so I'm having trouble getting to the bottom of what's causing it.

    EDIT: Turns out it only happens in Release builds. I've made a terrible mistake inviting SwiftData to this party, haven't I?

    jasonhowlin,

    I think if you are comfortable with CoreData, stick with that. The code you write and patterns you follow for SwiftData are so similar, it’s hard to see benefits to adding an abstraction layer, beyond perhaps type safety. This is in contrast to SwiftUI, where the benefits are clear, the abstraction is valuable, and difference from UIKit patterns is stark. And frankly, the CD model editor and ease of versioning is really nice!

    I have only one item on my wishlist for Swift/SwiftUI.

    Please move the environment pattern from #SwiftUI to #Swift and let us access our environments from anywhere in Swift.

    jasonhowlin,

    @dimillian it was interesting to see UITraitCollection adopted something like this.

    The build improvements over the years in #Xcode are spectacular. Look at the parallelism here on an MBP M1 Max (this is compiling Yahoo Mail, which is a big, big app)... All cores hard at work. AND on battery power. AND fans are off and computer is cool. Amazing times.

    Longtime followers of mine know I love the Dyson hair dryer and the AirWrap. Yes, a $500 hair dryer is worth it. Best Buy has the standard hair dryer for $300. This is the best I’ve seen even accounting for Dyson’s current customer coupons. If you have long hair, I cannot recommend this enough. Or gift it! Your wife/girlfriend/mom/sister/long-haired family member or friend will appreciate you! https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sku/6557481.p?skuId=6557481

    jasonhowlin,

    @film_girl if I had to pick one for my daughter, which would you recommend? I know straightening (or a blowout) her hair takes the longest.

    If Apple want to fuck with EU market, they should open up sideloading with ability to use arbitrary entitlements, and later say "we told you it's not secure" to scare all other countries from asking it to do that 🙃

    jasonhowlin,

    @khaost I have NO idea how they will handle entitlements. Maybe just zero entitlements? What do you think?

    jasonhowlin,

    @9to5Mac was this step inserted after people started reporting the bug? If so, that’s a hell of a triage!

    I updated and then did the phone to phone transfer. It was fine.

    @matthewcassinelli Wow thanks for all of your hard work on this! The community appreciates it.

    Hello iOS 17, we've been expecting you :)

    Just when you thought things couldn’t get any better. Check out our latest updates on the App Store today.

    Huh, I just discovered that users can associate an App Shortcut directly to the Action button. I had interpreted what was said in the keynote as they can "Run a Shortcut”, as in needing to configure a Shortcut workflow and then run that...but instead it looks like they could select it more directly and run it from there without needing a workflow at all.

    It will take some investigation to see if that's right but I'm much more excited about the button if it is. 🤔

    https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appintents/app-shortcuts

    jasonhowlin,

    I’ve not been able to get any AppShortcuts I’ve created using AppIntents framework to show in the Shortcuts app under the “App Shortcuts” section. Anyone else having a problem with this?

    jasonhowlin,

    Good idea, but appears to have extracted successfully…

    Are there any additional, say, plist changes needed?

    jasonhowlin,

    @czottmann ok very helpful I will hunt it down. And yes, at Yahoo since 2013 :) we missed each other!

    I have an iPhone 12 Pro. I just watched the keynote, introducing the iPhone 15 Pro. They say it is so much lighter, using Titanium.

    Then I looked up the specs. THE IPHONE 15 PRO IS, TO THE GRAM, THE EXACT SAME WEIGHT AS THE IPHONE 12 PRO.

    jasonhowlin,

    That’s strange because I thought they claimed it was the lightest pro model ever.

    When using a possessive apostrophe and the word/name ends in an S, do you personally add an S after the apostrophe?

    eg: Mavis' sweater, versus Mavis's sweater

    jasonhowlin,

    @christianselig extra s in almost all cases. When in doubt, pronounce it out loud and that should guide you. From Chicago guide:

    Chris’s car

    Family plural cases omit:

    Williamses’ new house

    Certain “sounds plural but really singular” omit

    The United States’ role in economic policy

    Sometimes ancient names both ok

    Isis’ reign (but Isis’s reign is ok too)

    Sometime when an ending s is silent in the non possessive you omit

    Descartes’ three dreams ( but Descartes’s dreams is ok too)

    It looks like Xcode 15 automatically enables WiFi debugging when you pair an iPhone running iOS 17 👀

    jasonhowlin,

    @_inside Hi Mr. Rambo. Have you found a way to disable wifi debugging for a device? My "Connect via Network" checkbox in Xcode's Devices window is grayed out. I was debugging via cable, unplugged, and debugger was still attached lol. I don't like that :)
