Week 279

Happy Thursday, everyone! Inspired by comments on my intro from two weeks ago, I asked last week how could we as iOS developers work on more meaningful projects or have a bigger impact. I didn't really get that many answers, so I'll just write my own thoughts on this subject. For example, working in the Health team at Apple is something that, for me, would be a meaningful project. I trully believe in the Apple Watch's value as a medical device and as a gadget that can improve the lives of people who use it. Just as a disclaimer, I don't personally know anyone working in the Health team at Apple, so I don't really know what that is like. Working on an app that helps people learn new languages, or that helps visually impaired people in their daily tasks could, for example, be very fulfilling. But yes, as a developer employed in a company, or even as a freelancer, it's very hard to find trully meaningful projects and sometimes you can't even influence the projects you're working on. In the end, I think it's up to each and every one of us to decide what kind of projects they'd like to work on, or how they can help others. And each of us probably has other things that they find meaningful. And that's ok :).

Week 244

Hey, everyone! Next week it's going to be a year since I've been sending out constantly this newsletter. Of course, this wouldn't have been possible without the great help of Rui Barbosa and without our contributors. And let's not forget Rui Peres and Tiago Almeida, who started this newsletter many years ago, and laid a solid foundation on top of which we could build further. I'm planning to write an article about the experience of making iOS Goodies, so if you have any questions, reply here and I'll try to cover them.

Week 242

I was really impressed this week by Nathan Gitter's work on building fluid interfaces. The WWDC talk that inspired him is one of the most interesting ones this year (totally recommend it), but it's more of a theoretical / inspirational / design session than a coding one. Nathan takes it one step further, writing an article and open sourcing the code for 8 interfaces that cover the topics in the presentation. You can find both the article and the code for them below.

We've had a lot of great articles this week, and unfortunately we can't fit all of them in the newsletter. If you're curious to see the rest, you can read our issue on GitHub. And make sure to check out this week's sponsored message .

Week 229

Apple has announced that starting July 2018, all app updates submitted to the App Store have to be built with the iOS 11 SDK. That's a pretty big step-up in requirements, since right now it's possible to submit a build with Xcode 6. On the other hand, it was clear that this was coming, since in February they announced that starting Aoril, all new apps have to be build with iOS 11 SDK. This time, it's about updates too. And this will only mean that more apps will add support for iPhone X 😄. I'd be curious to know if this causes a spike in the Xcode 8 downloads, so develoeprs who still had projects in Swift 2 can upgrade first to Swift 3 (with Xcode 8) and then to Swift 4 (with Xcode 9).

Week 265

Happy Thursday, everyone! I realised there are very few articles about Core Data, I think we've only had around 5 articles on Core Data in the last year. And I don't think I've seen any recent conference talks about Core Data, and very few tutorials on it. Given that so few people talk about it, you could easily imagine that not that many people use it. So I've asked today on Twitter about Core Data and persistency solutions. I got more replies than I imagined (I know that statistically, that's totally irrelevant 😅). Then why do we see so few articles or conference talks about it? My take on that is that it's an old enough framework so that the hype around it is mostly gone; it's a huge framework, and talking only about a small part/feature/usecase of it could still be a lot; it's a complex topic and not many people think they know enough to be worth sharing. I could be wrong, all those are mostly assumptions. But I really think there's a lack of good articles on Core Data in our community. So if you hear of any good ones, or if you want to write some, please send them my way and I'll gladly feature them 😄

A new prodcast was launched this week, and it sounds really interesting: Swift Community Podcast, hosted by John Sundell, Garric Nahapetian, Chris Lattner. I didn't get to listen to the first episode yet, but it's definitely on my list.

Week 255

I've talked briefly last week about the new iPads. @JohnSundell show us a quick example of live editing a game level on the new iPad Pro, and I think this is just awesome. I'm very curious to see some more creative usages of the new devices.

In other news, I'm very happy to see that, for the second year in a row, we're nominated to the Swift Community Awards in the Best Newsletter category. We consider this a result of our commitment to deliver the best iOS development articles every Thursday to our subscribers, and it means a lot to us. If you enjoy our newsletter, we'd appreciate a vote 😁.
