Ok new year, new start in this account! Last year was a bit of a false start. Finally got around to trying the App building capabilities of Playgrounds on #iPadOS 15.2. Conclusion? You can, but you’re a sadist if you enjoy it! #iOSDev

#IOS folk, is anyone using Combine with UIKit? Is it worth it or should I just go all in on SwiftUI if I want to play with it? #IOSdev

Ok #macOS developers. If I wanted to write a desktop app for ripping audio CDs… where would I start? I’m guessing IOUSBDeviceInterface but are there any libraries that do the heavy lifting? Never attempted a MacOS app before but want to give it a shot.

Finally got a proper license for Adobe XD. Always loved it but to be able to properly export shareable prototypes is amazing. Cancel all your dev work on the rest of Creative Suite and focus all efforts on this please!

Apple Music desktop app is almost unusable. Music just stops at random. Tried downloading tracks to play locally, still stops whenever it feels like it. iPad iPhone are fine but I thought stripping all the bloat out of iTunes and making it Music was supposed to make it better?!

Managed to get my M1 MacBook Pro's fans to start up! If you notice Xcode 12 becoming unresponsive, simulators not attaching correctly etc. check your activity monitor. I had FIVE debug servers running... Good job Xcode. Good job. 🤦‍♂️

Sigh... Xcode 12 and its inability to stay connected to a simulator between launches. I would trade all the new features at #WWDC21 for a stable Xcode.

Is there anything stopping me building a music player for #iOS and saving the files in iCloud? Seems like the sort of thing Apple would reject, but can’t find any firm evidence in the guidelines. #iOSdev #SwiftUI

The new Swift Playgrounds looks awesome. It’s not Xcode for iPad… yet. *looks at Xcode Cloud*

Apple maps looks very pretty… if you live in San Francisco. Where is the EV routing for the UK market that was mentioned last year! #firstworldproblems #WWDC2021

Decided to start a new account for my tech/development stuff. So here’s me: 15+ years as a #software #engineer covering everything from HTML/CSS, Flash, PHP, JavaScript, Java, #Objective-C and #Swift. The last 10 years has been solely #iOS development for agencies and product 👋
