For a group that cries socialism. They sure like to socialize and move things more towards actual communism

Build truly native iPhone and Android apps with Skip Introduction to using Skip for dual-platform app development.

Since Skip Tools is now free (skip.dev) I wonder if I can get Universal STIG Browser to work on Android. Hmmmm

OMG OMG OMG

This built on Linux (Ubuntu with gnome) using SwiftCrossUI @stackotter.dev. It should build happily on windows once I get a fresh VM set up.

Fake data at the moment. But the guts won’t be hard to port from a previous project github.com/boberito/jam...

Seriously though I did 1.0 on Feb 24, 2024...so 18 months later with regular releases I've hit 2.0. It's been awesome to see that people use it and appreciate it. Thank you all for downloading, using, sharing, and submitting issues and feedback.

Makes me feel like a real swift developer.

Time to get some of my nonsense working on another platform, just because I can.

Universal STIG Browser on Android maybe?

I’m not sure if there’s a vulnerability there or not with leaked information. I’m not even sure how to hunt or look for that.

Is a developer support ticket the best way to report this? Or the Blackhole of Apple feedback?

Then with SIP disabled I could connect Instruments to it. Lo and behold, memory leak when viewing a certificate!

I imagine it’s using the same class and not some proprietary private API thing.

I also imagine it’s ancient code that hasn’t been updated in forever.

Whenever I create an instance of an SFCertificateView and set setDisplayDetails(true) it causes a leak. I’ve talked with some people, consulted all the AI gods, tried a bunch and always happens.

Since i believe Keychain Access probably uses the same thing I disabled SIP.

Sooo I think I found a memory leak in an Apple class SFCertificateView. I use it in SC Menu to display a certificate from a smart card. I’ve been trying to be a better programmer by fixing memory leaks and understand them.

Server side swift is definitely an interesting thing to me. I wonder if I could somehow build some server to build pieces from the macOS security compliance project. Like an api if you will.
