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 #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 #703 What is receipt Read When to refresh a receipt vs restore purchases in iOS? From iOS 7, every app downloaded from the store has a receipt (for downloading/buying the app) at appStoreReceiptURL. When users purchases something via In App Purchase, the content at appStoreReceiptURL is updated with purchases information. Most of the cases, you just need to refresh the receipt (at appStoreReceiptURL) so that you know which transactions users have made....

Issue #691 Supposed we want to present a ViewController, and there exist both UIToolbar in both the presenting and presented view controllers. From iOS 13, the model style is not full screen and interactive. From UITests perspective there are 2 UIToolbar, we need to specify the correct one to avoid multiple match errors let editButton = app.toolbars["EditArticle.Toolbar"].buttons["Edit"] Updated at 2020-11-04 10:02:29

Issue #682 After has recently reminded about his updating APNs provider API which makes me realised a lot has changed about push notifications, both in terms of client and provider approach. The HTTP/2-based Apple Push Notification service (APNs) provider API lets you take advantage of great features, such as authentication with a JSON Web Token, improved error messaging, and per-notification feedback. If you send push notifications with the legacy binary protocol, we strongly recommend upgrading to the APNs provider API....

Issue #673 To draw rounded 2 corners at top left and top right, let’s start from bottom left let path = UIBezierPath() // bottom left path.move(to: CGPoint(x: 0, y: bounds.height)) // top left corner path.addArc(withCenter: CGPoint(x: radius, y: radius), radius: radius, startAngle: CGFloat.pi, endAngle: CGFloat.pi * 3 / 2, clockwise: true) // top right corner path.addArc(withCenter: CGPoint(x: bounds.width - radius, y: radius), radius: radius, startAngle: CGFloat.pi * 3 / 2, endAngle: 0, clockwise: true) // bottom right path....

Issue #671 Use adjustsFontForContentSizeCategory A Boolean that indicates whether the object automatically updates its font when the device’s content size category changes. If you set this property to YES, the element adjusts for a new content size category on a UIContentSizeCategoryDidChangeNotification. button.titleLabel?.adjustsFontForContentSizeCategory = true button.backgroundColor = UIColor.green button.titleLabel?.font = UIFont.preferredFont(forTextStyle: .title1) label.adjustsFontForContentSizeCategory = true label.backgroundColor = UIColor.yellow label.font = UIFont.preferredFont(forTextStyle: .title1) However it seems view (UIButton or UILabel) size is the same, just the inner text increases in size....

Issue #670 To test for viewWillDisappear during UINavigationController popViewController in unit test, we need to simulate UIWindow so view appearance works. final class PopTests: XCTestCase { func testPop() { let window = UIWindow(frame: UIScreen.main.bounds) let navigationController = UINavigationController() window.rootViewController = navigationController let viewController = DetailViewController() navigationController.viewControllers = [ UIViewController(), viewController ] window.makeKeyAndVisible() let expectation = XCTestExpectation() navigationController.popViewController(animated: false) DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 0.1) { XCTAssertTrue(viewController.wasDismissed) expectation.fulfill() } wait(for: [expectation], timeout: 1) } } class DetailViewController: UIViewController { override func viewWillDisappear(_ animated: Bool) { super....

Issue #660 Apply tintColor does not seem to have effect. datePicker.setValue(UIColor.label, forKeyPath: "textColor") datePicker.setValue(false, forKey: "highlightsToday")

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....

Issue #603 Need to set correct frame for mask layer or UILabel, as it is relative to the coordinate of the view to be masked let aView = UIView(frame: .init(x: 100, y: 110, width: 200, height: 100)) let textLayer = CATextLayer() textLayer.foregroundColor = UIColor.white.cgColor textLayer.string = "Hello world" textLayer.font = UIFont.preferredFont(forTextStyle: .largeTitle) textLayer.frame = aView.bounds aView.layer.mask = textLayer Use sizeToFit to ensure frame for UILabel let label = UILabel() label.frame.origin = CGPoint(x: 80, y: 80) label....

Issue #600 Use same CACurrentMediaTime final class AnimationSyncer { static let now = CACurrentMediaTime() func makeAnimation() -> CABasicAnimation { let animation = CABasicAnimation(keyPath: "opacity") animation.fillMode = .forwards animation.fromValue = 0 animation.toValue = 1 animation.repeatCount = .infinity animation.duration = 2 animation.beginTime = Self.now animation.autoreverses = true animation.timingFunction = CAMediaTimingFunction(name: .easeInEaseOut) return animation } }

Issue #598 It’s hard to see any iOS app which don’t use UITableView or UICollectionView, as they are the basic and important foundation to represent data. UICollectionView is very basic to use, yet a bit tedious for common use cases, but if we abstract over it, then it becomes super hard to customize. Every app is unique, and any attempt to wrap around UICollectionView will fail horribly. A sensable approach for a good abstraction is to make it super easy for normal cases, and easy to customize for advanced scenarios....

Issue #583 In UITests, we can use press from XCUIElement to test drag and drop let fromCat = app.buttons["cat1"].firstMatch let toCat = app.buttons["cat2"] let fromCoordinate = fromCat.coordinate(withNormalizedOffset: CGVector(dx: 0, dy: 0)) let toCoordinate = toCat.coordinate(withNormalizedOffset: CGVector(dx: 0, dy: -0.5)) fromCoordinate.press(forDuration: 1, thenDragTo: toCoordinate) and then take screenshot let screenshot = XCUIScreen.main.screenshot() let attachment = XCTAttachment(screenshot: screenshot) attachment.lifetime = .keepAlways attachment.name = name add(attachment) Screenshot capturing happens after the action, so it may be too late....

Issue #582 Use View Debugging Run on device, Xcode -> Debug -> View debugging -> Rendering -> Color blended layer On Simulator -> Debug -> Color Blended Layer Corner radius https://twitter.com/timoliverau/status/1135999854176395264 Okay. Talked to a Core Animation engineer again: cornerRadius was deliberately improved in Metal so it could be used everywhere. Using a bitmap is WAY heavier in terms of memory and performance. CALayer maskLayer is still heavy....

Issue #580 Events open url https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58624786/method-applicationopenurloptions-is-not-called Implement scene(_:openURLContexts:) in your scene delegate.

Issue #570 Use viewSafeArea @available(iOS 11.0, *) override func viewSafeAreaInsetsDidChange() { super.viewSafeAreaInsetsDidChange() self.collectionView.reloadData() } Use https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiview/2891102-safearealayoutguide view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.layoutFrame https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiview/2891103-safeareainsets For the view controller’s root view, the insets account for the status bar, other visible bars, and any additional insets that you specified using the additionalSafeAreaInsets property of your view controller. For other views in the view hierarchy, the insets reflect only the portion of the view that is covered. For example, if a view is entirely within the safe area of its superview, the edge insets in this property are 0....

Issue #569 From documentation https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uicollectionviewlayout/1617726-initiallayoutattributesforappear This method is called after the prepare(forCollectionViewUpdates:) method and before the finalizeCollectionViewUpdates() method for any decoration views that are about to be inserted. Your implementation should return the layout information that describes the initial position and state of the view. The collection view uses this information as the starting point for any animations. (The end point of the animation is the view’s new location in the collection view....
