DevClub Discord question this week.

What do I do when starting a new app or project before coding?

1. Write the idea down
2. List the core idea features
3. Sketch a bad interface design
4. Do some research
5. Refine the idea and interface
6. Prototype the unknown

In this episode, I discuss a recent exploration and problem-solving situation with one of my apps that uses CloudKit to sync data across devices.

CloudKit and iCloud are excellent ways to store a user's data and make it accessible across multiple devices. However, they come with some scenarios you need to account for.

For example, have you coded to protect against a bad experience if the user is not logged into their account?

Here are some tips in this episode with my real-world examples.

Thanks for the suggestion on this topic. We often see folks asking why cross-platform is such a great idea, but we don't usually discuss why it can also be a bad idea and how we can promote native platform development.

This can be incredibly challenging for companies that see the one code base for cross-platform development as reduced development time and cost without considering the long-term consequences.

In this episode, we'll discuss two main topics: the new Apple Vision Pro hardware and the changes coming to the App Store.

 We start by diving into the new EU Court rulings regarding Apple's monopoly and the requirement for allowing third-party app stores on iOS devices. Apple has made this confusing intentionally, and there are new terms and conditions that developers have to agree to, which involves giving Apple money for doing nothing. This move has raised concerns about security and privacy issues.

Moving on to the US side, changes are coming to the App Store. Apple now allows linking outside the App Store to other payment methods, but developers must still agree to new rules and conditions and pay Apple for this privilege. The complexity of these changes is causing confusion and frustration among developers.

Next, we shift our focus to the Apple Vision Pro hardware. The device has finally shipped, and initial impressions.

A conversation between two developers discussing Bushel, an app developed by Leo. Leo explains Bushel is designed as a valuable tool for developers, allowing users to spin up an entire VM of an operating system, trial something, and, if it doesn't work, delete the VM without causing any issue to the primary system.

Bushel also uses the newly released Swift Data for managing database functions. Leo shares his experiences building the app, including challenges initially using 'User Defaults' for data storage and navigating the sandboxing system.

In this episode of Compile Swift Podcast, I talk about the importance of keeping source code in remote repositories and maintaining good backup practices. I remind listeners of the risks like natural disasters and hardware failures and underline the critical need for a plan B.

In the second part of the episode, I offer advice on job hunting during a challenging period when budgets run out towards the end of the year.

I urge listeners to use this time for self-improvement: learning new things, working on personal projects, contributing to open-source projects, and shaping resumes. I further emphasize the powerful impression showcasing source code can make when applying for jobs.

In this episode, I will catch up on some news items and discuss some excellent tools I've been using.

I share my opinion on Apple's release of new hardware with M3 chips, noting that while the performance is impressive, it may be reaching a plateau of incremental improvements. I discuss the challenge of convincing users to upgrade their devices when their current ones perform well.

Additionally, I mention that Apple is raising the prices of some services as a strategy to boost profits.

I also share my experience with AI tools like Developer Duck for code refactoring and documentation, as well as MacWhisper for podcast transcription. I highlight the benefits of these tools and encourage developers to embrace and learn from them.

A developer log update this week. I had an exciting (that's an excellent way to put it) week trying to fix what seemed like a silly bug in my game, which turned out to be a memory-retaining issue hiding in the background.

Listen to all the horrible details with a happy ending in this game dev update.

Technical interviews are considered a normal part of the developer interview. If you have ever had one or know someone that has, there are plenty of stories of how they did not go well and sound like something to be feared. In this episode, I want to reframe how to look at and handle these interviews.

There is far more to it than just how good the code is. It's about seeing how you approach a problem and whether you might be a good fit for a team. The code is only part of the review, in my opinion.

Thoughts and tips to rethink technical interviews from both sides of the table in this episode.

I'd love to hear your thoughts. Would you like to come on the show and discuss this or any other topic?

Joel had the good fortune to work at Apple when the iPhone was developed. His exposure was writing sample apps against the iPhone SDK, making him among the first people in the world to `#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>`. That launched him into the world of iOS development for good. He has since worked on a wide variety of interesting products, launched a startup, worked at several others, and still somehow not gotten tired of San Francisco.

Joel and I discussed Querl, a small library designed to ease working with GraphQL in Swift.

    - A good manager will

    - Keep your work balanced

    - Unblock you

I know how we love to talk about cool technologies and how we solve complicated problems. Those are things we as developers and makers are interested in hearing about. But your user doesn't care about them, so stop telling them about it.

In this episode, some thoughts on how important it is to communicate the right things to your users and ignore the stuff that doesn't interest them.

I know you are thinking, well that sounds boring. But it's a really important topic, so pay attention. I'm going to offer some thoughts on how this might not be as important as it used to be depending on who you are.

A great question came my way this week that I suspect a lot of us Apple developers get asked. Should you learn and use UIKit or SwiftUI? I have some thoughts on this which I'm sure is no surprise, here's the advice I gave.

Over time code gets dusty just like everything else. Maybe it's old libraries or old techniques. Or worse, maybe it is something in the language that is now deprecated and will eventually stop working altogether.

All good reasons to maintain a healthy code base, so let's talk about that and some suggestions on how to manage it.

In a recent live stream on Twitch.tv/compileswift I was asked in the chatroom to give my thoughts on coding boot camps.

I answered the question during the stream, but I felt I should dive into the answer further in this episode and give more details. You’ll have to listen to hear my thoughts.

It was time for me to take a look at macOS Monterey. But as with every year, I install pre-release versions on an external drive. Which is normally not a problem. Until this year that is. The Apple M1 chip means I have to do things different and it is more complicated. I solved the problem and it might help you. So listen on.

It's the Pre-WWDC21 episode. So it's time to talk about how we try to start healing the wounds and what is causing them between Apple and developers. I try to offer a perspective from both sides and some suggestions on how we can move forward.

TL;DR It's like an 80's breakup record with a slow Miami Vice MTV drive sequence.

Apple has released details for WWDC21, this year will be online just like last year. That makes a lot of sense to me, we all need to stay safe, although it's sad to not meet up in person.

I also have some thoughts on what might be hidden in the images.

More than likely you have more than one view in your SwiftUI based application. If that is the case then you probably need to share data across those views and always have them displaying the latest data right? That's where the environment object comes into play, this makes it possible to do just that. I'll walk through the steps on how I recently implemented it in an application.

I will also be releasing a video soon, so if you are interested and want to know when that comes out head over to compileswift.com/contact and let me know.

If you are a developer on Apple's platforms then you have probably encountered signing certificates and profiles. They start out fine, then they expire and can become a nightmare to deal with.

So I'll explain the problem if you don't know what it is and a possible solution that might help fix it. I'll even give this idea for free to Apple if they want to adopt it.

The final important step to success is making the production build to push to the AppStore. This might sound simple, but you should have a checklist of things so you get it right and stand a good chance of passing review and happy customers.

In this episode, I discuss the flow of pushing to the store from Xcode and the checklist of items I have for making sure everything is as it needs to be.
