macOS Development

Today marks the first full month since I began work on a new app. I started it off last week (after 3 weeks of designing layouts for iOS and macOS) using the multi-platform app template in Xcode. I quickly realised the limitation, a pure SwiftUI view architecture would bring, so I switched it out for a traditional AppDelegate based system on both platforms.

Back When I

Back when I first started working on Elytra (circa 2016), I realised that an iOS bug caused a UIScrollView to incorrectly adapt to changing the contentInsets at runtime.

Xcode Cloud + SharePlay

I’ve been thinking of how Xcode Cloud and SharePlay could play together to bring local iOS programming and simulation to iPads.

For My First

For my first day off work tomorrow, I was thinking I’ll make a shareable flight plan of all the forts in Maharashtra for FlightSim2020.

Today Is My

Today is my last day at my current company.

I Edited A

I edited a photo today after several months. My teacher from college is doing a session sometime later this week and this is the exercise.

This Is Going

This is going to be my first year at WWDC where I will understand most presentations. 

Since the last few years, most of the presentations at WWDC involved Swift code (unless it’s about Metal, or any of the Core Frameworks). 

I had take screenshots, try and understand what’s happening and translate it to Objective-C. 

Not anymore! I’m now a bilingual Apple Platforms Developer 🥳 and I’ll be able to follow along just like most of you all. 

I’m very excited for WWDC this year. Let’s get going! 

Elytras Summer Release

Elytra’s Summer 2021 Release has been one of the smoothest releases I’ve had for an app in recent memory.

I wrote three posts about the release on the app’s blog:

1. About the release itself and the general availability of the update. Link

2. About the availability of notarised builds of Elytra for macOS. Link

3. About the two bug fix releases I did over the past one week. Link

I’m glad I got all of this through before WWDC itself. I can not sit back, relax a little till WWDC week, and then after it is over, sit down to plan what’s next for Elytra on iOS & iPadOS 15, and macOS 12.
