It\u2019s go time<\/a> for iOS 18, macOS 15, and all their friends! Your app updates that you slaved over throughout the summer are probably already pending release and it all kicks off on Monday!<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been running the betas recently, and the iPhone Mirroring feature confuses me. It works well when my phone is close by, but I accidentally left it downstairs in the kitchen a few days ago and attempted to use mirroring for a real task for the first time. Unfortunately, it failed to connect because my phone was too far away. \ud83e\udee4<\/p>\n

Now, before you start thinking I live in a mansion and I was trying to connect between my office the east wing to my kitchen in the west wing, I wish I did! my kitchen is at the bottom of the stairs and my office is at the top. Maybe 6 metres away. I\u2019ve not found anyone else complaining about range, but every demo<\/a> I\u2019ve seen, even Apple\u2019s<\/a> has the phone sitting right next to the Mac.<\/p>\n

So, I\u2019ve been thinking about why this feature exists.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s part of the Continuity<\/a> set of features, which have (at least for me) been a tremendous success. It\u2019s possible some of them were a little flaky at first, but they are rock solid now and I couldn\u2019t live without seamless copy and paste between my phone and my Mac. \u2764\ufe0f<\/p>\n

The second half of the iPhone Mirroring demo<\/a> was all about using it for drag and drop between devices. A feature that feels much more a part of the Continuity set of features. I wonder if that\u2019s the true purpose of what Apple built, and all the other parts of it are just what it took to make that work? Certainly if my phone is sitting directly next to me, I\u2019d rather pick it up than use it with my mouse in a window on my Mac.<\/p>\n

I do wish it would work from my kitchen for those occasional times I accidentally leave my phone downstairs. That said, a few more flights of stairs every day will do me more good than harm!<\/p>\n

Hummingbird 2<\/a><\/p>\n

I wrote about Vapor\u2019s plans to take better advantage of Swift concurrency last week, and this week hummingbird<\/a> announced a version 2.0 with a very similar goal. Here\u2019s Adam Fowler<\/a> with the details.<\/p>\n\n

Apple\u2019s App Store terms are still not compliant with the DMA<\/a><\/p>\n

I have no idea if this is true or not, but it sounds like Apple\u2019s hassles with the DMA are far from over. No surprise there, and I expect this to drag on for years.<\/p>\n

Code<\/h2>\n

Morphology<\/a><\/p>\n

I liked this little tip from Michael Liberatore<\/a> about using Morphology<\/a> in Foundation to format plural strings that don\u2019t include the number. \ud83d\udc4d<\/p>\n\n

I couldn\u2019t have predicted an underlying issue as dramatic as \u201chalf of our app\u2019s features duplicated in memory\u201d, whenever a user re-logged. Or a solution as simple as moving a [weak self]<\/code> capture one line up.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I love a good debugging story.<\/p>\n\n

The weirdest Core Data crash I have seen<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure I have already heard about the situation that Filip N\u011bme\u010dek<\/a> recently found himself in. I may have even linked to another blog post about this, it certainly rings a bell! Regardless, you\u2019ll want to be aware of this restriction if you use Core Data (and presumably SwiftData too!)<\/p>\n
