It's been selective for sure. I have a macOS app that has been approved within a day. There are two apps I submit for a client both have cleared review twice in the past two weeks within 24 hours. On the other hand I have a personal iO

I can respect a developer who is still smitten with their craft to feel a bit anxious when the topic of LLM generated code comes up. I have a child who never grows tired of building their next game but first has to build the engine from scr

I don't want to downplay your lived developer experience, I'm not fully following all your arguments but let me just say @Environment is a great tool. We've all used singletons, even more so in UIKit seeing how unintuitive ke

Just a couple points because your opinions aren’t wrong, they’re just your lived experience. 2. There’s no magic here. There is poor documentation. The biggest trick — small views, think about what values are going to trigger a refresh. Avo

This seems to be a popular ‘controversial’ topic. I’ve been using SwiftUI for production applications and games since 2021. I drop down UIKit, Metal, or core animation when needed. But that’s no different than when I was making games in UIK

Where you see quality crisis I see job security! Honest question, when it comes to enshittification of software quality.. have you ever had to use a Meta framework? How many times have they rewritten their mobile apps to use some architect&

So the author used the latest and greatest development tech to create a unique little demo in their custom language. I'm unsure your point. You know what I don't use to program with anymore? Punch cards and Borland C++. The indust

Yes. I don’t think we’re having the same argument though.

No credit for the art direction and inspiration? Brogue? Or did I miss the attribution? * Edit: I’m not looking for the downvotes or to stir things up. I’m simply calling out that this is a small niche community we notice these things, we’r

There’s no indication to the developer or app when a deletion happens. We rely on the OS to clean it up.

Looks awesome but ran against the same thing. Feels like a good Claude skill/test. Run my readme w/a clean install.

Keep in mind, you’re claiming to be an experienced mobile (iOS) dev. Your fallback when things don’t work (let’s say, auth) are your years of doing iOS. Fastlane is handy (I don’t use it anymore re: Xcode Cloud) but in the past it still fel

That startup is going to LOVE you when they need to backfill your position and every potential iOS developer hire runs in the other direction. * This is coming from someone doing iOS since the store opened in 2008. I've pretty much see

I can’t speak to OS development but industrial coding there’s a lot of experimenting and throw away. You generally don’t write a lot of code for the platform you’re building on (PLCs, automation components). It’s well tested and if it doesn

My thought to who you replied to exactly. Am I going to invest several days to read an AI slop novel? No. But I will take several minutes to read a blog post and likely have read many that were AI generated or assisted.

Before AI there was a general consensus that creative areas (eg. Cities) were becoming a homogenized experience. A Starbuckization if you will. I can’t help but wonder what gets lost when using tools like this.

Different strokes for different folks. You don't need to please everyone, but it helps if you can move 15 million units with three developers. I don't play Candy Crush but yet somehow this little cash cow keeps getting updated and

There are additional links and details about LazyVStack highlighted in the content. I thought the top level article focused on Lists would be more helpful for you.

I’m on a phone which means digging through Apple docs or WWDC-ascii isn’t fun. But for my recent Insta-like infinite feed on iOS this was very helpful: https://fatbobman.com/en/posts/tips-and-considerations-for-u..

To be fair a LazyVStack handles cell reuse and unloading automatically which is why offscreen content that was previously viewed further back on the list will only maintain the root level state (children in the view hierarchy may and will l

I primarily do iOS and iPadOS, but it’s far easier to bridge the gap between all the platforms than the experience I had in the past with UIKit/AppKit. My last MacOS app sadly does not do infinite scrolling. Off the top of my head, I’d

So many things wrong with this. Reminds me of the Objective-c vs Swift arguments from back in the day. The author mentions the initial release, as someone who held out migrating production apps to Swift until v3 I think we all know early ad

I know all cars can’t be perfect but as a 2010 Prius owner (I probably shouldn’t complain given it’s 15 years old) it has had several well documented issues that never prompted a recall. I was hit with a bad oil gasket that causes the engin

Sadly this rings true. Of all the apps and games we've ported to Android the cost has never been worth it. The games were pirated more than purchased and across both apps and games our support tickets went way up.

Had this back in the 90s for a month or two. It was amazing. A bit finicky. Our neighbors split out cable outside and it stopped working. Apparently needed a dedicated line.
