Issue #749 Some apps want to support alternative app icons in Settings where user can choose to update app icon. Here’s some must do to make it work, as of Xcode 12.2 In Info.plist, must declare CFBundleIcons with both CFBundlePrimaryIcon and CFBundleAlternateIcons Icons must be in project folder, not Asset Catalog Here’s how it is done on my app PastePal Add app icons to project folder Prepare icons, like Icon1, Icon2 with 2 variants for 2x and 3x....

Issue #748 There is said to be PopUpButtonPickerStyle and MenuPickerStyle but these don’t seem to work. There’s Menu button it shows a dropdown style. We fake it by fading this and overlay with a button. allowsHitTesting does not work, but disabled seems to do the trick Menu { Button("About", action: ActionService.onAbout) Button("Quit", action: ActionService.onQuit) } label: { Text("") } .frame(width: 24) .opacity(0.01) .overlay( makeButton(action: {}, "gearshape.fill") .disabled(true) .foregroundColor(Color.secondaryLabel) ) Follow pika...

Issue #747 Need to use Coordinator conforming to UITextViewDelegate to apply changes back to Binding import SwiftUI import UIKit struct MyTextView: UIViewRepresentable { @Binding var text: String final class Coordinator: NSObject, UITextViewDelegate { let parent: MyTextView init(parent: MyTextView) { self.parent = parent } func textViewDidChange(_ textView: UITextView) { if textView.text != parent.text { parent.text = textView.text } } } func makeCoordinator() -> Coordinator { Coordinator(parent: self) } func makeUIView(context: Context) -> UITextView { let view = UITextView() view....

Issue #746 From iOS 13, the default is to support multiple scene, so the the old UIApplicationDelegate lifecycle does not work. Double check your Info.plist for UIApplicationSceneManifest key <key>UIApplicationSceneManifest</key> <dict> <key>UIApplicationSupportsMultipleScenes</key> <true/> </dict> One way to be notified about application life cycle is to use UIApplicationDelegateAdaptor and via NotificationCenter import SwiftUI import UIKit import FontAwesomeSwiftUI final class AppDelegate: NSObject, UIApplicationDelegate { func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey : Any]? = nil) -> Bool { FontAwesome....

Issue #745 I used to use selection with Binding where wrappedValue is optional, together with tag in SwiftUI for macOS, and it shows current selection @Binding var selection: Tag? = .all List(section: $selection) { Text("All") .tag(Tag.all) } From the API, looks like Binding<Set> is for multiple selection, and Binding<Optional> is for single selection Looking at List signature, I see that selection uses wrappedValue as Set for Binding<Set<SelectionValue>>? init<Data, ID, RowContent>(Data, id: KeyPath<Data....

Issue #744 As someone who builds lots of apps, I try to find quick ways to do things. One of them is to avoid repetitive and cumbersome APIs. That’s why I built Anchors to make Auto Layout more convenient, Omnia to add missing extensions. The next thing in the itchy list is the many ways to communicate among objects in iOS and macOS development that can be very annoying sometimes....

Issue #742 Auto Layout has been around since macOS 10.7 and iOS 6.0 as a nicer way to do layouts over the old resizing masks. Besides some rare cases when we need to manually specify origins and sizes, Auto Layout is the preferred way to do declarative layouts whether we choose to do UI in code or Storyboard. The Auto Layout APIs have some improvements over the years, there are also some sugar libraries that add easy syntaxes, so more choices for developers....

Issue #740 How to gain product ideas? Scratch your own itch. If you don’t have any itch to scratch, stop here. This is awkward. Go travelling. Go exploring the world. The world always has problems and needs solution. Image Build any service, app or website. Along the way you’ll find tons of things you need that and unsolved by existing solutions, and tons of things you can improve upon....

Issue #739 New program reduces App Store commission to 15 percent for small businesses earning up to $1 million per year “earning up to $1 million” means proceeds, not sales. This is what we get after Apple’s cut. “up to” means $999.999 “if they earned up to $1 million in proceeds during the previous calendar year”. This means that if $1M is surpassed, the standard rate (30%) kicks in for the rest of the year, and also next year....

Issue #735 From my previous post How to use flexible frame in SwiftUI we know that certain views have different frame behaviors. 2 of them are .overlay and GeometryReader that takes up whole size proposed by parent. By default GeometryReader takes up whole width and height of parent, and align its content as .topLeading struct ContentView_Previews: PreviewProvider { static var previews: some View { VStack { Rectangle() .fill(Color.gray) .overlay( GeometryReader { geo in Text("\(Int(geo....

Issue #734 In SwiftUI there are fixed frame and flexible frame modifiers. Fixed frame Positions this view within an invisible frame with the specified size. Use this method to specify a fixed size for a view’s width, height, or both. If you only specify one of the dimensions, the resulting view assumes this view’s sizing behavior in the other dimension. VStack { Ellipse() .fill(Color.purple) .frame(width: 200, height: 100) Ellipse() ....
