Apple now allows 3rd party payment gateways for apps in US AppStore as a result of Apple vs Epic verdict. Note that India we can use 3rd party PG in Playstore due to Competition Commission’s order against Google. I hope they do it for Apple too. developer.apple.com/app-store/re...

I saw numerous problems when storing a shared plist file in the group container. It was a small percentage, but some devices were not able to read from it. I’ve steered clear of using an app group since.

GitHub - CryoByte33/steam-deck-utilities: A utility to improve performance and help manage storage on Steam Deck. A utility to improve performance and help manage storage on Steam Deck. - CryoByte33/steam-deck-utilities

That’s odd. I’ve been playing it on steam deck without issue for the last couple of weeks. Only thing different from stock is I’ve run CryoUtils to increase the swap space. Maybe worth trying. github.com/CryoByte33/s...

Mainly the CPA is all over the place. I look once a month and it fluctuates pretty wildly. If a tool was improving the CPA, it would have to be a huge change for me to notice amongst this noise.

It looks interesting, but I find ad performance so variable that I’m not sure I would be able to objectively decide if it was improving ad performance.

I suspect it’s very low. I have apps not updated for more than 3 years that get very low downloads, 10 downloads a week, and they haven’t been hit by this rule.

Same here. I think sometimes I understand why, and then I come back to using it later on and need to trial and error my way to what should be true and what should be false. I vote for a better named API, this can’t be the best option.

Those grips look as painful as the Switch ones. I was expecting SteamDeck like ergonomic grips.

As of iOS 18.2, Objective-C projects may encounter compilation issues when accessing Image Playground. In the meantime you can consider creating a private or fileprivate Swift class that adopts ImagePlaygroundViewController.Delegate, and then creating an intermediate protocol to bring the functionality into your Objective-C project. Keep an eye on future releases for the option to implement Image Playground more directly into your Objective-C project.

Just had it confirmed that using ImagePlayground in UIKit for a project that contains Objc is currently broken. Fix coming soon.

Code snippet which shows the signature of ImagePlaygroundSheet

Although it doesn't say it in the docs, if you jump to the definition it shows various alternatives. One of which allows an optional Image to be passed. However, this causes ImagePlayground to hiccup on most of my uses at present. So Ive avoided for now.

Apple, can we have this be a non-blocking operation?
Sat here yet again waiting for the copy to complete and can't use Xcode at all until it's complete 🫤

In many cases, adding a `.animation` or `withAnimation` might be all you need to have beautiful interruptible animations in SwiftUI.

Bad practice: not using the modern formatting API — Swift with Vincent You’re more of a video kind of person? I’ve got you covered! Here’s a video with the same content than this article 🍿

DateFormatter is super useful, but it's also really error-prone 😩

It's so easy to set a bad format or re-create the formatter too often...

But did you know that a simpler and more robust alternative exists?

Is this a pure Swift project? I'm figuring out an issue with presenting ImagePlayground in UIKit and the issue seems to be my mix of Swift and Objc

Image showing a compilation error "No type or protocol named 'ImageGenerationViewControllerDelegate'"

Doesn't look like you can use ImagePlayground within an app that mixes Swift and Objc unless you present it using SwiftUI. Trying to display it using UIKit results in a compilation error in the generated swift header file :( FB16077654

I’ve not made anything for Vision OS, so can’t comment there. However, I’ve never seen a triangle when testing or in release of my iOS apps with InApp purchases

Did you try using it in just UIKit? It's causing some odd compilation errors due to my project being a mix of ObjC and Swift. It's adding ImageGenerationViewControllerDelegate into my Project-Swift.h file in place of ImagePlaygroundViewController.Delegate, which it subsequently fails to resolve :(

Ok fine, Image Playgrounds is actually pretty neat as a quick icon maker (in @darknoise.app)

SwiftUI is growing on me more and more. Started out only using it when forced to for Widgets, but now use it loads.
I just swapped out a very old setting screen using @AppStorage in minutes and no longer have lines of code to handle state of toggles etc.
