The tirade against Apple in the middle article is pretty silly. Android OS has a terrible bug that means you can’t listen to your preferred music on your device. iOS does not have this bug. As someone who uses and develops for both OS, this

Seems like both AirBnB and Udacity made the mistake of not investing enough in the tech. If you keep building out full native features while transitioning a brownfield app to RN, you’re going to have this fragmentation problem. I’ve convert

It doesn’t compile it to JVM, it runs a JS engine, and then passes some calls into the native side over an asynchronous bridge, and the native code then builds native views at runtime. It’s a middle ground, and it’s super useful in some cas

I try to use ObjC PPC macros for things that are constant for the run of the program, and can be reasoned about globally. For example, some good ones I use are isLandscape or isIPad, which are both variable depending on the user, but consta

This is my thought exactly. I've written a few open source Swift components to learn the language, but it's just not ready to work on the scale that mobile software is reaching. Mobile software development isn't about a devel

Swift is great for a small app, with a handful of developers. For a platform, which interops with multiple languages, being worked on by a large team of engineers, switching to Swift would just be silly. Oh yeah, let me increase my compile

Mike, this line is completely and 100% inaccurate: "Private APIs do nothing that a third-party developer couldn't do in their own code, if they knew how to write it." There are a million things under the sun that private APIs

Well, let's be clear here. I use React Native, and it would take me about 30m to write a bridged React Native method that could execute ObjC code dynamically, including accessing all the private APIs you could want.

You definitely will want to write images to file, then pass the file path over the bridge. That's an easy solution. I've been using React Native cross platform for over a year, and it has a ridiculous number of issues, but they&#x

I use React Native and he's mostly right. Coming from the perspective of a native platform, this ecosystem is bat shit insane. It's harder, full of pitfalls, rife with complications, and rickety as all hell. However, there are als

My girlfriend worked on it in a way, and while I thought it was kind of a silly idea we got one for the house. I've grown to love it as the best jukebox I've ever owned. The speakers absolutely rock, and once you've enjoyed t

Awhile back I had a Chrome extension that would show a fork of a source repo if it had more recent commits. This was super helpful for finding interesting bits of code. I can't find it anymore, anyone know what I'm talking about?

If you haven't heard yet, Uber has recently raised it's fees on UberX drivers from 5% to 15%. At first, I was completely behind them, but they're turning into a pretty cut throat company.
