formatter.locale = Locale(identifier: "nb_NO")
formatter.string(from: NSDecimalNumber(decimal: 1.2 / 100)) // 0,12 %

Note that the space created by NumberFormatter is a non breakable space \u{00a0}, which can be created by Alt Space. This non breakable space is useful in UILabel when you want the whole word to stick together

How to use background in iOS

Issue #631

beginBackgroundTask

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/app_and_environment/scenes/preparing_your_ui_to_run_in_the_background/extending_your_app_s_background_execution_time

When your app moves to the background, the system calls your app delegate’s applicationDidEnterBackground(_:) method. That method has five seconds to perform any tasks and return. Shortly after that method returns, the system puts your app into the suspended state. For most apps, five seconds is enough to perform any crucial tasks, but if you need more time, you can ask UIKit to extend your app’s runtime.

You extend your app’s runtime by calling the beginBackgroundTask(withName:expirationHandler:) method. Calling this method gives you extra time to perform important tasks.

BackgroundTasks

Use the BackgroundTasks framework to keep your app content up to date and run tasks requiring minutes to complete while your app is in the background. Longer tasks can optionally require a powered device and network connectivity.

Register launch handlers for tasks when the app launches and schedule them as required. The system will launch your app in the background and execute the tasks.

The main API for using this framework is the BGTaskScheduler . This API constantly monitors the system state such as battery level, background usage, and more, so it chooses the optimal time to run your tasks.

To use this API, you begin working when your app is on the foreground. You need to create Background task request. The framework provides an abstract class BGTask, you never use this task directly. Instead, the framework provides two concrete subclasses you can interact with: BGProcessingTask, for long running and maintenance tasks such backup and cleanup, and BGAppRefreshTask to keep your app up-to-date throughout the day.

URLSession background

When you create your background download or upload tasks with URLSession, you’re actually scheduling a download (or upload) with the ‘nsurlsessiond’ which is a daemon service that runs as a separate process.

How to access bookmark url in macOS

Issue #624

By default the approaches above grant you access while the app remains open. When you quit the app, any folder access you had is lost.

To gain persistent access to a folder even on subsequent launches, we’ll have to take advantage of a system called Security-Scoped Bookmarks.

Add entitlements

Use of app-scoped bookmarks and URLs

3
4
<key>com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-only</key>
<true/>
<key>com.apple.security.files.bookmarks.app-scope</key>
<true/>

Enabling Security-Scoped Bookmark and URL Access

If you want to provide your sandboxed app with persistent access to file system resources, you must enable security-scoped bookmark and URL access. Security-scoped bookmarks are available starting in macOS v10.7.3.

To add the bookmarks.app-scope or bookmarks.document-scope entitlement, edit the target’s .entitlements property list file using the Xcode property list editor. Use the entitlement keys shown in Table 4-4, depending on which type of access you want. Use a value of for each entitlement you want to enable. You can enable either or both entitlements.

How to batch delete in Core Data

Issue #622

Read Implementing Batch Deletes

If the entities that are being deleted are not loaded into memory, there is no need to update your application after the NSBatchDeleteRequest has been executed. However, if you are deleting objects in the persistence layer and those entities are also in memory, it is important that you notify the application that the objects in memory are stale and need to be refreshed.

To do this, first make sure the resultType of the NSBatchDeleteRequest is set to NSBatchDeleteRequestResultType.resultTypeObjectIDs before the request is executed. When the request has completed successfully, the resulting NSPersistentStoreResult instance that is returned will have an array of NSManagedObjectID instances referenced in the result property. That array of NSManagedObjectID instances can then be used to update one or more NSManagedObjectContext instances.
