Yes, we’ve got some great new features for #Xcode during #WWDC23. 👍

But still no way to:
– sort selected code alphabetically
– multi-line arrays/cases & more
– one-line collections in code

Get all these for #Free with #RemafoX!
Works in Xcode 14, too. 😉

Hello #Xcode #Vim Mode users: I made a proof of concept spoon for #Hammerspoon which can remap keys (for example, making j/k act like gj/gk) depending on the mode you're in: https://github.com/SilverEzhik/XcodeVimTricks

iOS devs, please help: I want to add an action to every other app’s share menu. I see see what seems like other apps doing the same in my share menu (e.g. “Copy to Goodreader” or "Print to HP Printer”). I'd like for a user to be able to share a photo using my action. But I can't figure out what to search for in the Apple docs to get me the relevant dev documentation. #iOS #Apple #Xcode #Swift #SwiftUI

I managed to get #Xcode #CoreData and #SwiftData labs this year. All extremely helpful, thanks to some awesome Apple engineers. If you’re not requesting labs, you’re missing out. #WWDC #WWDC23

I have an app Xcode project set up with a second library Xcode project as a subproject.

The app target has a static library target from the framework project set as a “Target Dependency” in “Build Phases”, and links the resulting library in “Link Binary With Libraries”. This works great!

I want the iOS Deployment Target to “flow” from the app target ‘into’ the library target, so they’re both the same without having to edit the library target itself. Is this possible?

#xcode #iosdev

This is a nasty Hammerspoon script, but by god I've bodged it.

A bunch of event taps and screenshots, but it WORKS. I can remap #Vim mode settings in #Xcode.

I can do things like turn j/k to gj/gk, make y/p use the system clipboard and so on. Plus since I'm detecting the mode used, I can have different mappings per mode. I even made a little mapping that makes :w<Return> save and :%s open search and replace.

Okay, the good news is that I have a somewhat reliable way to determine the current #XCode Vim mode. The bad news is that it's *nasty* - I'm taking a screenshot and comparing the color of a pixel in the debug bar. It does work though!

As a developer who lives in #Xcode each day, I hope that #VisionPro supports multiple #Mac displays and at resolutions above 4K. There was no mention of this in the #WWDC keynote.

Does anyone know if the memory leak in XCBBuildService has been fixed in Xcode 15, or if it *is* a Ventura-specific memory leak as I suspect? If so, is it fixed in Sonoma?

Just noticed my Mac running incredibly slowly - XCBBuildService is using >12GB of memory, and Xcode 3.5GB.

I have just two mid-sized projects open.

#WWDC #WWDC23 #xcode #iOS

#Xcode 15 beta seems really quite stable.

I’ve been using it for a day with the work project (500kloc, Swift+UIKit) with iOS 17 simulator. So far only minor issues with occasionally not being able to launch the app in the simulator, which is easily fixed by restarting the simulator.

Still early but looking like a solid release so far.

I found an interesting #VoiceOver bug in #Xcode 15. I hope they will not fix it as its soooooo useful.
1. Open Xcode and any project.
2. Focus the text editor
3. Interact with it as much as you can and eventually you will land on your widgets in the desktop.
4. The most interesting, if you interact one time up, you land in your textbox, exactly where you left off.
Why I think this is a bug? Because it doesn’t happen consistently and it happens only in Xcode. #apple, please, don’t fix this.

Designers and developers: Please stop making me hover over shit to reveal information #WWDC #WWDC23 #Xcode

Seit ich den erweiterten Datenschutz für meinen iCloud-Account aktiviert habe funktioniert die #CloudKit-Integration im #xCode-Simulator nicht mehr. Am Anfang dachte ich, das liegt vielleicht daran, dass iOS 16.4 noch nicht für den Simulator verfügbar ist - inzwischen ist das aber der Fall und das Problem besteht weiterhin. Ist der Simulator nicht mit #ADP bzw. #EDS kompatibel? #iOSDev

The new Xcode 15 has removed the side-by-side diff view for commits. Please file feedback that you want this back. #WWDC #WWDC23 #Xcode #Apple

Of course that’s just beginning of the great Iceberg that is Swift UI’s changeling for 2023. However there are some other neat stuff, for example #Xcode making its previews fully accessible for #blind #VoiceOver users! If you want me to write more about all of this and more, let me know. BTW,, Paul Hutson from HackingWithSwift is my idol. Without him I wouldn’t be able to write and understand even 5% of what I write and understand now.

OK. I successfully scrubbed my AIr of all XCode fragments, leftovers, and droppings. I’ve reinstalled a single beta copy. Hopefully, this will resolve my debug server issue. But I don’t believe in hope, so it won’t.

Bit of a bummer that #Xcode 14 doesn’t run on #macOS 14 Sonoma. That’ll make updating to it harder, will probably have to fiddle around with a Ventura VM again for a while 😞

#Xcode 15 tidbit:
There’s a new “String Catalog” file replacing the legacy Strings(dict) files! 😍

It comes with a visual editor showing all languages in one place, progress tracking, migrator, automatic code extraction & more!

Can’t wait to support it in @RemafoX_App!
#WWDC23

#Xcode 15 tidbit:
Images & Colors in Asset Catalogs can now be safely referenced with auto-completion support in your #Swift code! 😍

Basically, Apple sherlocked SwiftGen and made a related update I was planning for @RemafoX_App unnecessary. 👍

#WWDC23

Somehow I have NO IDEA how to install the iOS runtime from the DMG that downloaded in Apples new #xcode download format. I copied it to the place, it finds it, and then can't verify the developer… BUT: I am just downloading it from Xcode itself. WHILE I’m in an ICE train. With tethering via my iPhone. And it actually works! Already 4.3 GIGABYTE! With constant 100MBit/s! THIS is the future. 🤯

In Xcode 15 we can access colors and images stored in asset catalog via autogenerated static properties, for example Color(.myGreen) or even Color.myGreen 🤩 No more string literals 🎉 #WWDC23

And this works for older deployment targets too, not just iOS 17!

Friends of #iOS development in #Xcode for #Apple hardware:

Any of you know #swift well enough to explain this playground? A former coworker sent it to me without an answer. #Xcode

It's more than a little weird that Xcode's "Welcome to Xcode!" startup screen doesn't have a New Playground option.

If you click "Create a new Xcode project" there's no playground option there either. #Xcode

I've purchased a few #SwiftUI courses in recent years, without first reviewing Apple's own tutorials. They're pretty solid. No doubt the other courses warmed me up to the #Swift syntax and #Xcode. But it seems like Apple is providing some great resources for learning.

#Xcode pro tip for #SwiftUI previews!📱

While I was extracting an In-App Purchases library from my @RemafoX_App for my upcoming @Twootit_App, I created this:

My .accentColor defined in my Assets.xcassets catalog is not working for a new #Xcode project: the default blue color is used. The "Global Accent Color Name" is correct in the target Build Settings. I tested on Xcode 14.2 and 14.3.

The #VoiceOver rotors for source code in #Xcode are awesome, and a huge time saver.

There's something that's been bothering me for a long time that I want to fix before the WWDC madness starts.

I can't see changes to my translation files with 'git diff' because it considers them binary files.

I'm seeing some solutions where they modify the gitattributes file and others where they convert files to UTF-8. Both approaches are from posts that are several years old.

What's the best way to approach this?

#Xcode #SwiftUI #iOSDev

I only recently discovered that in Xcode 14 we can test real remote push notifications on an iOS simulator. Before, simulators couldn't provide a token, limiting us to testing on a device or using .apns payload files and simctl push command.

Now we can send notifications from a server to our app running on a simulator, and even test other features like Notification Service Extensions.

I summarized what setup is needed for this to work in my new post: https://nilcoalescing.com/blog/TestingRemotePushOniOSSimulator

I added a little note to explain *why* xcframeworks are needed in the first place. Thanks to @brennansv for the suggestion.

#xcode #ios #macos #apple #Objectivity #swift #framework #xcframework #development

https://www.humancode.us/2023/05/19/all-about-xcframeworks.html

Have you ever noticed that when you build an iOS app for Mac Catalyst, $PLATFORM_NAME is set to `macosx`?

When Catalyst was being hashed out, there was quite a bit of discussion around whether we were building against the *iOS* SDK on the Mac, or against a *Mac* SDK that happened to know about iOS. As you can guess in retrospect, the latter worldview prevailed: the Catalyst SDK is a “variant” of the Mac SDK. This made our builder tools folks quite happy, because the Catalyst SDK could be built alongside the Mac one, and Catalyst apps and daemons bundled with macOS could be built together with the rest of macOS.

Xcode, however, seems to continue to insist in its UI that Catalyst apps are actually *iOS* apps that happen to support the Mac.

Which worldview you choose to believe is up to you! I know which one I prefer.

#xcode #macCatalyst #ios #macOS #developers #lore

I’ve written down most of what I’ve learned about xcframeworks into this blog post. I hope it can be a one-stop shop to answer all your practical questions, including:

- What is an xcframework?
- What’s in an xcframework?
- How do I make an xcframework?
- How do I consume an xcframework?

Enjoy and please share!

Tried to fight a weird new build issue in #Xcode for a while. Eventually tried with 14.2 instead of 14.3, and… the issue disappeared.

#VisualStudio has this kind of stuff as well, but in that environment, I’m more experienced with figuring out workarounds.

Why are IDEs like this 🙃

(Because software development is still extremely brittle and in its infancy, and IDEs have crazy-complex software stacks)

So since I’ve been using my 256GB-sized MBA since last year, and I have a disk-size problem with #Xcode; can I strip out the Intel parts and make the size of Xcode half?
My research seems to point to use lipo: https://eclecticlight.co/2020/07/30/instant-weight-loss-how-to-strip-universal-apps/
But I’m not sure if it will work out with Xcode. Has anyone have any experience on this?

Day 181. There are a ton of things to love about #SwiftUI. But one of my favorites it's got to be the possibility of previewing Variants in #Xcode: the possibility of seeing your UI in dark/light modes, all #DynamicType sizes, and orientations, side-by-side.

#365DaysIOSAccessibility

#accessibility #iOSDev

Day 180. If you are using #SwiftUI to build your apps, there is a fairly basic but very useful Accessibility Inspector built right there in the Inspectors Panel, on the right side of #Xcode.

#365DaysIOSAccessibility

#accessibility #iOSDev

The best niche feature in #Xcode is the ability to split the text cursor along multiple lines. Hold the option key and drag down across multiple lines of code to create multiple cursors. Then you can navigate, delete, and type across all of them. And it's semantically-driven, so if you press say option-right, it will navigate those cursors right one word, even if those words are different lengths. Incredible for fast renames/refactors. No notes, it works as I expect every single time.

Uhh, what happened to the #Xcode #instruments Energy profiler tool in Xcode 13? Is it gone?

There seems to be chatter about using the telemetry tool to get information about your app’s energy usage, but that’s for released apps. How do I measure the energy profile of an app I’m currently working on?

So could we be getting a surprise at #WWDC2023? We saw #LogicPro and #FinalCut for #iPadOS, could we also see #Xcode now?

What!

The!

Weren't we all complaining that the #Xcode console would be nicer if it detached for #debugging?

What about using Terminal?

I did not notice this setting, ever!

In Xcode, I found out I can do #function and get the function name pretty easily (which is cool) but now I wanna know what else I can do easily.

Is there an established process in which to use Xcode Cloud for setting up automated unit testing of Swift packages?

It looks like you can only use Xcode Cloud for apps. I’m fine with creating a “dummy” app for this purpose, if need be, but all of my tests are part of the package itself and I don’t know how to set up a workflow that triggers them.

The docs are maddeningly vague about this use case. Is it not supported?
