I've finally released my first open source package PhoneNumberKitSwiftUI, it's a SwiftUI Textfield for phone numbers that updates the formatting as the number is typed using the popular PhoneNumberKit package.
Special thanks to @fatbobman for his blogs which helped me achieve this.

Did you know that in SwiftUI you can set the Navigation Title per section and when you scroll to that section the navigation title will change?

Unpopular opinion:
I’m happy for Apple to take 15% from my apps, and let them deal with
- processing fees
- taxes in each country/province/state
- handle refunds and chargebacks
and just give me my money at the end of the month.
NO FEES on web transactions. Game over for the Apple Tax.
Apple’s 15-30% junk fees are now just as dead here in the United States of America as they are in Europe under the Digital Markets Act. Unlawful here, unlawful there.
4 years 4 months 17 days.

I think they must be related to the genius at Microsoft that thinks it’s a good idea to update your computer right before a presentation.

Due to the hacks that Apple uses in CNContactViewController, if we want to use it in a SwiftUI view the only way to have it display properly, is in a sheet. Putting it in a sheet introduces other issues, for example interactively dismissing the sheet is not possible by default because navigationBar.isTranslucent = true, which means there's nothing for the swipe down to grab onto. If you do that and then try to set setNavigationBarHidden(true, animated: false), it will mess up the contact photo and poster.
Another issue is if you try adding a Done button to the CNContactViewController it won't match the system buttons.
After many hours of trying different options I think the best solution is to leave the CNContactViewController the way it is, and place an overlay in the SwiftUI view with a Done button and a fake navigation bar. The fake navigation bar, gives the sheet a place to grab for interactively dismissing, as well as the styling for the button is much easier and matches almost exactly the style of the CNContactViewController built in Edit button.

It gets a little confusing sometimes.
How many times a day do you open the wrong app?

Please congratulate me! 🎉
I just resisted the urge to create a new side project. Instead I’m working on one of my existing projects. 🤣

I have good news and bad news.
The bad news is I won’t be able to make it.
The good news is that means there’s an extra spot for Apple to invite someone else!

I don’t understand why everyone’s going crazy. If you had a physical product you would get less then 70% after everything. Plus Apple takes care of payment handling, I’m all for it. I mean obviously I would want more money but I think it’s totally fair.
JUST IN: 🇺🇸 Supreme Court rules Apple can continue to tax app developers 30% on revenue generated through its App Store.

I’m on the verge of canceling my ChatGPT subscription. @grok is a million times better for iOS stuff.
All the code it gave me today, compiled and did what it was intended to do on the first try.
Plus one of my favorite little things is when I give it code that it gave me but I changed a few things, it uses the new version with all my changes, unlike ChatGPT which will continue using the original code that it gave you.

Thank you to all the kind people that valued my work and tipped me, in a little less than 1/2 a year since my app is out (I still can’t believe that I did it 🥹), the tips have covered half the yearly developer fee!!

That’s way more than I expected! I hope to ship an update soon with a redesign and another update shortly afterwards with iOS 17 updates.

7 Tab Items????
Call me crazy but I think if your app needs more than 5 tabs it’s time to rethink your structure.
I hate how even the smallest things in @raycast are useful af 😤 this is from the new update

If you are having issues with EditMode not working in a List with a FetchRequest or SectionedFetchRequest, make sure in your ForEach you explicitly put the id even though it already is identifiable.
Here is an example of(although not with a FetchRequest)

Just launched something small:

Work on your own thing, but have someone around to bounce ideas off when needed. No silent timers, no structure. Just real humans building side by side.

I decided to update Libraried even though this version doesn’t have anything new other than a redesign, for 2 reasons
1) since the new addition I’m working on is taking longer than expected
2) Apple removed the Swift Playgrounds beta and didn’t release a new version yet so I can’t release any iOS 17 components.
Here’s a preview of what it looks like and what some of the changes are
• Switched to a tab based layout (preparing for an additional tab)
• Switched from plain list style to inset grouped list style
• Moved the filter button from the bottom bar to the top
• Made the filter bar more clear as to what was showing
• Improved the search, plus now you can even search for iOS version
• Changed the background behind the icons to not be transparent and to use a gradient instead
• Switched to a navigationSplitView instead of NavigationView
• Bumped minimum version to iOS 16

Find something you want to create and start creating it, you’ll run into issues and learn what you need to fix it and that memory will be better than any tutorial/course you ever took!

In the documentation somewhere Apple says if it’s the name of your company and less then the required characters you can request the name.

Very satisfied with myself. After working on a problem for 3+ hours I finally solved it!
I wanted a snapshot of a view that wasn’t on screen and I kept getting extra white space at the bottom (Img 1) and finally after ~50 attempts figured out a way to get rid of it(Img 2)
