Friendly reminder:

From Fall 2023 you’ll receive an email from Apple if you upload an app to App Store Connect that uses required reason API without describing the reason in its privacy manifest file. From Spring 2024, apps that don’t describe their use of required reason API in their privacy manifest file won’t be accepted by App Store Connect.

p.s. User Defaults API is in this list as well.

So an author wrote a shell script that helps you to identify the use of such API in your code base.

I've attempted multiple times to access the tint or foreground color using the @Environment in custom components, but each time I ended up by passing this color through the initializer. However, I recently discovered a solution that seems to work seamlessly. For instance, a value set via the foregroundColor modifier can be easily accessed using the ForegroundShapeStyle (refer to the attached screenshot). The same approach can be applied to the tint color as well.

Good article about comprehending mergeable libraries introduced a few weeks ago at WWDC.

We can now make use of mergeable libraries, which are a new type of library that combines the best of dynamic and static libraries. They are optimised for both build time and launch time performance and are designed to feel like static libraries.

FYI 👇

Q: Is there a documentation up for accessing dynamic island (on iPhone 14 Pro) with live activities? Couldn't find anything

A: Live Activities are implemented using the ActivityKit framework, which was available in iOS 16 beta 4 and iOS 16 beta 5. The ActivityKit framework is not included in iOS 16 RC, and is not included in Xcode 14 RC. ActivityKit will be included in an update to iOS 16 coming later this year, as mentioned in this News and Updates post. Once ActivityKit is available in an update to iOS 16, you'll be able to implement Live Activities and interact with them in Dynamic Island.

The author has prepared* an eight-part series in which he details his journey with CloudKit after his own sharing solution:

- Basic CloudKit concepts.
- How data is moved between a device and iCloud.
- How to initiate sharing, and how a sharing invitation is accepted by the app.
- Strategies for synchronising data between devices.
- Sharing participants, what happens when you stop sharing, leave a list or sign out of iCloud.
- Tips for diagnosing issues, handling edge cases, concurrency and logging.

*Only 5 parts are available now. A new part becomes available one week after the previous one.

A bit of new API: layout guide that is useful for full-screen content:
safeAreaAspectFitLayoutGuide

“Unlike the standard rectangular safe area defined by the safeAreaLayoutGuide/safeAreaInsets, this new layout guide API considers the true shape of the safe area, including the curvature of the display edges and sensor housing/island areas, maximizing the content without clipping.”

Read the Tyler’s thread about the all details.
