As in the previous article the author once again made a really great job. This time he prepared an in-depth analysis of the ViewThatFits component, providing a detailed explanation of its functionality and the underlying reasons for its operation. Moreover, the author went a step further by recreating this component using the Layout protocol, showcasing both a profound understanding and practical application of the subject matter.

For those who already use the Logger type, Xcode 15 brings handy improvement — support of filtering console logs and more directly in Xcode, eliminating the need to launch the Console app. You can filter logs by their type (networking, ui), jump to code where a log message has been triggered and so on.

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.

Long read about the presentation changes in iOS and iPadOS 16

• When the presenting view controller is in a regular-width environment on iPad, form sheets are slightly bigger than on previous iPadOS versions. This changed in beta 4. (If the presenting view has compact width, a form sheet presentation will adapt and fill the width, just like on iPhone.)

• The height of the navigation bar in a non-full-screen, non-popover, modally-presented view controller is smaller than before (12 points smaller on iPhone and 6 points smaller on iPad), but this has not (yet?) changed in SwiftUI. This change has only just occurred in beta 5.

• Non-full-screen modally-presented double and triple column style split view controllers have a different appearance compared to iPadOS 13 to 15.

Interesting approach for storing API keys by using on-demand resources with enabled prefetching instead of embedding them directly in code, that could lead to expose them as plain strings when extracted from IPA files.

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.

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.

Thomas discusses about AttributedString in SwiftUI: what is good, what is bad, what would be great to improve. He also prepared a helper that simplifies the life when working with texts.

p.s. now it's a little confusing when dealing with attributed strings. I really hope that Apple will take this problem into account and improve it soon. But this "soon" isn't really soon for us, unless you only support the latest version. 🥲
