Issue #856 Use PKPaymentRequest and PKPaymentAuthorizationViewController @MainActor final class WalletViewModel: NSObject, ObservableObject { var canMakePayments: Bool { PKPaymentAuthorizationViewController.canMakePayments() } func showApplePay(amount: Amount, from window: UIWindow) { let request = PKPaymentRequest() request.supportedNetworks = [PKPaymentNetwork.amex, .discover, .masterCard, .visa] request.countryCode = "US" request.currencyCode = "USD" request.merchantIdentifier = "merchant.\(Bundle.main.bundleIdentifier!)" request.merchantCapabilities = .capability3DS let item = PKPaymentSummaryItem(label: "Add Cash", amount: amount.toNsDecimal) request.paymentSummaryItems = [item] guard let vc = PKPaymentAuthorizationViewController(paymentRequest: request) else { return } vc.delegate = self window....

Issue #847 We should use Dynamic Font Type as much as possible, as per Typography guide and https://www.iosfontsizes.com/ But in case we have to use a specific font, we can scale it with UIFontMetrics import SwiftUI import UIKit extension Font { static func system( scaledSize size: CGFloat, weight: Font.Weight = .regular, design: Font.Design = .default ) -> Font { Font.system( size: UIFontMetrics.default.scaledValue(for: size), weight: weight, design: design ) } } Then instead of...

Issue #843 This can be used in message bar input or some popover form. We use sizeThatFits to calculate the height so that it grow under certain height limit import SwiftUI import UIKit struct MessageTextField: View { let placeholder: String @Binding var text: String @Binding var isEditing: Bool @State private var height: CGFloat = 100 var body: some View { UITextViewWrapper( text: $text, isEditing: $isEditing, height: $height ) .frame(height: height) ....

Issue #835 I usually define ButtonStyle to encapsulate common styles related to buttons. Here we specify .frame(maxWidth: .infinity) to let this button take the whole width as possible struct MyActionButtonStyle: ButtonStyle { func makeBody(configuration: Configuration) -> some View { configuration.label .font(.headline.bold()) .foregroundColor(.white) .frame(height: 44) .frame(maxWidth: .infinity) .background(Color.green) .cornerRadius(8) } } If we have 2 buttons both specifying maxWidth: .infinity then they will be divided equally with a spacing specified by our HStack...

Issue #824 Use a custom NavigationLink with EmptyView as the background, this failable initializer accepts Binding of optional value. This works well as the destination are made lazily. extension NavigationLink where Label == EmptyView { init?<Value>( _ binding: Binding<Value?>, @ViewBuilder destination: (Value) -> Destination ) { guard let value = binding.wrappedValue else { return nil } let isActive = Binding( get: { true }, set: { newValue in if !newValue { binding....

Issue #823 Make atomic components and compose them. Firstly with NavigationBar that has custom leading and trailing content, there we can customize padding. import SwiftUI struct NavigationBar<Leading: View, Trailing: View>: View { @ViewBuilder let leading: Leading @ViewBuilder let trailing: Trailing var body: some View { HStack { leading Spacer() trailing } .padding(.horizontal, 8) } } struct NavigationBarWithBackButton: View { let onBack: () -> Void var body: some View { NavigationBar( leading: backButton, trailing: EmptyView....

Issue #820 Use NSDataDetector to detect links, and NSMutableAttributedString to mark link range. Then we enumerateAttributes and build our Text func attribute(string: String) -> Text { guard let detector = try? NSDataDetector(types: NSTextCheckingResult.CheckingType.link.rawValue) else { return Text(string) } let stringRange = NSRange(location: 0, length: string.count) let matches = detector.matches( in: string, options: [], range: stringRange ) let attributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: string) for match in matches { attributedString.addAttribute(.underlineStyle, value: NSUnderlineStyle.single, range: match....

Issue #814 From iOS 14, TabView has the PageTabViewStyle that turns TabView into the equivalent UIPageViewController. We can of course implement our own Pager but the simple DragGesture does not bring the true experience of a paging UIScrollView or paging TabView. We can also use UIPageViewController under the hood but it’s hard to do lazy. Paging TabView in iOS 14 is built int and optimized for us. We just need to specify PageTabViewStyle, or just ....

Issue #811 Don’t add SwiftFormat as SPM package, instead use command line directly if which swiftformat >/dev/null; then swiftformat . else echo "warning: SwiftFormaat not installed, download from https://github.com/nicklockwood/SwiftFormat" fi Then install SwiftFormat locally brew install swiftformat Then make some rules in any file name with extension .swiftformat While formatting, SwiftFormat will automatically check inside each subdirectory for the presence of a .swiftformat file and will apply any options that it finds there to the files in that directory....

Issue #809 Add a hidden overlay UIContextMenuInteraction. Provide preview in previewProvider and actions in actionProvider. Use @ViewBuilder to make declaring preview easy. extension View { func contextMenuWithPreview<Content: View>( actions: [UIAction], @ViewBuilder preview: @escaping () -> Content ) -> some View { self.overlay( InteractionView( preview: preview, menu: UIMenu(title: "", children: actions), didTapPreview: {} ) ) } } private struct InteractionView<Content: View>: UIViewRepresentable { @ViewBuilder let preview: () -> Content let menu: UIMenu let didTapPreview: () -> Void func makeUIView(context: Context) -> UIView { let view = UIView() view....

Issue #800 I’ve done some #SwiftUI lately for Push Hero and PastePal, and amazed by how easy and fun it is to make apps.

Issue #799 Besides coming up with a good idea and building the app, there are many other things you can do to boost your apps' visibility Twitter thread https://twitter.com/onmyway133/status/1387851727714635776 Thread reader https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1387851727714635776.html

Issue #794 I’ve been distributing my apps PastePal and Push Hero as a paid upfront apps on Appstore. I’ve quickly come to realize the importance of trials since many have requested a tryout before purchasing. Manual sending out trials comes with its own problem. I need to notarize and package the app as a dmg file, and not to even mention implement my own trial mechanism to check and notify of expired builds....

Issue #792 iOS 13 introduced Dark Mode with User Interface Style that makes it easy to support dark and light theme in our apps.

Issue #790 Use UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum Adds the specified image to the user’s Camera Roll album. Let’s make an NSObject delegate class so we can perform target action to notify about completion import UIKit struct ImageService { final class Delegate: NSObject { let completion: (Error?) -> Void init(completion: @escaping (Error?) -> Void) { self.completion = completion } @objc func savedImage( _ im: UIImage, error: Error?, context: UnsafeMutableRawPointer? ) { DispatchQueue.main.async { self....
