AI Tools for app makers

Peter Witham — Sat, 09 Nov 2024 23:42:23 -0600

This week’s episode discusses AI tools and their applications for developers. The hosts share their experiences using AI chatbots, highlighting their usefulness for code generation, problem-solving guidance, and code explanation. They also discuss the benefits of AI tools for finding code snippets and remembering API names.

AI tools are useful for developers, especially when dealing with outdated or obscure technologies, as they can provide accurate and relevant information. While Apple’s predictive code completion in Xcode has its limitations, it is a step towards integrating AI into developer tools. However, the lack of progress on Apple’s promised chat-based tool, Swift Assist, raises concerns about Apple’s ability to compete in the rapidly evolving AI landscape.

In this episode of the Compile Swift Podcast, host Peter Witham interviews Joe Fabisevich, an experienced iOS developer and indie app creator. Joe discusses his journey in app development, including his work at notable companies like Twitter and Bitly, and his transition to creating his app, Plinky.

Plinky is a link-saving app designed for quick and customizable link organization. It features share extensions and an open API.

Embracing new API's whilst retaining backwards compatibility

Peter Witham — Sun, 04 Aug 2024 18:33:26 -0500

This week, I delved into whether to embrace or avoid new APIs in Apple's upcoming operating systems. I encountered a few challenges while working on my Mac iOS app, which I aimed to have a modern look. Inspired by Apple developer videos, I wanted to incorporate features like a navigation split view and fancy backgrounds, similar to the design of CleanMyMac.

However, I hit a snag when they were in a part of the app's window. Even AI couldn't solve it. Finally, I found a solution in a video on the Apple developer portal, which involved using modifiers only available in macOS 15. Faced with a choice, I implemented conditional code to keep compatibility with macOS 14 while enabling new features for macOS 15 and beyond.

Using conditional code, such as #if available(macOS 15, *), I can target specific OS versions and ensure my app remains functional across different versions without cutting off users. This technique can be applied to various scenarios, not just API availability, making it a versatile tool.

CoreData, CloudKit and user data sync, a few tips

Peter Witham — Mon, 27 May 2024 15:45:55 -0500

In this episode, I discuss a recent exploration and problem-solving situation with one of my apps that uses CloudKit to sync data across devices.

CloudKit and iCloud are excellent ways to store a user's data and make it accessible across multiple devices. However, they come with some scenarios you need to account for.

For example, have you coded to protect against a bad experience if the user is not logged into their account?

Here are some tips in this episode with my real-world examples.

Listener Question - How do we combat the rising tide of cross platform on mobile?

Peter Witham — Tue, 21 May 2024 00:11:44 -0500

Thanks for the suggestion on this topic. We often see folks asking why cross-platform is such a great idea, but we don't usually discuss why it can also be a bad idea and how we can promote native platform development.

This can be incredibly challenging for companies that see the one code base for cross-platform development as reduced development time and cost without considering the long-term consequences.

VisionPro Ships, first impressions, AppStore changes for the EU and US

Peter Witham — Sun, 04 Feb 2024 16:09:13 -0600

In this episode, we'll discuss two main topics: the new Apple Vision Pro hardware and the changes coming to the App Store.

We start by diving into the new EU Court rulings regarding Apple's monopoly and the requirement for allowing third-party app stores on iOS devices. Apple has made this confusing intentionally, and there are new terms and conditions that developers have to agree to, which involves giving Apple money for doing nothing. This move has raised concerns about security and privacy issues.

Moving on to the US side, changes are coming to the App Store. Apple now allows linking outside the App Store to other payment methods, but developers must still agree to new rules and conditions and pay Apple for this privilege. The complexity of these changes is causing confusion and frustration among developers.

Next, we shift our focus to the Apple Vision Pro hardware. The device has finally shipped, and initial impressions.

macOS Virtual Machines with Bushel, and SwiftData with Leo Dion

Peter Witham — Sun, 14 Jan 2024 01:36:48 -0600

A conversation between two developers discussing Bushel, an app developed by Leo. Leo explains Bushel is designed as a valuable tool for developers, allowing users to spin up an entire VM of an operating system, trial something, and, if it doesn't work, delete the VM without causing any issue to the primary system.

Bushel also uses the newly released Swift Data for managing database functions. Leo shares his experiences building the app, including challenges initially using 'User Defaults' for data storage and navigating the sandboxing system.

Talking source code protection and end of year job hunting advice

Peter Witham — Sun, 26 Nov 2023 18:41:31 -0600

In this episode of Compile Swift Podcast, I talk about the importance of keeping source code in remote repositories and maintaining good backup practices. I remind listeners of the risks like natural disasters and hardware failures and underline the critical need for a plan B.

In the second part of the episode, I offer advice on job hunting during a challenging period when budgets run out towards the end of the year.

I urge listeners to use this time for self-improvement: learning new things, working on personal projects, contributing to open-source projects, and shaping resumes. I further emphasize the powerful impression showcasing source code can make when applying for jobs.

(00:00) - Introduction
(00:11) - Source code - Local or remote?
(04:55) - Why source control is critical
(06:20) - How do I get a job at the end of the year?

New Macs and some cool AI tools

Peter Witham — Fri, 03 Nov 2023 16:55:59 -0500

In this episode, I will catch up on some news items and discuss some excellent tools I've been using.

I share my opinion on Apple's release of new hardware with M3 chips, noting that while the performance is impressive, it may be reaching a plateau of incremental improvements. I discuss the challenge of convincing users to upgrade their devices when their current ones perform well.

Additionally, I mention that Apple is raising the prices of some services as a strategy to boost profits.

I also share my experience with AI tools like Developer Duck for code refactoring and documentation, as well as MacWhisper for podcast transcription. I highlight the benefits of these tools and encourage developers to embrace and learn from them.

Why you should not fear technical interviews

Peter Witham — Sun, 25 Jun 2023 04:34:22 -0500

Technical interviews are considered a normal part of the developer interview. If you have ever had one or know someone that has, there are plenty of stories of how they did not go well and sound like something to be feared. In this episode, I want to reframe how to look at and handle these interviews.

There is far more to it than just how good the code is. It's about seeing how you approach a problem and whether you might be a good fit for a team. The code is only part of the review, in my opinion.

Thoughts and tips to rethink technical interviews from both sides of the table in this episode.

I'd love to hear your thoughts. Would you like to come on the show and discuss this or any other topic?

Joel Kin - Querl GraphQL library for Swift

Peter Witham — Fri, 17 Mar 2023 01:29:00 -0500

Joel had the good fortune to work at Apple when the iPhone was developed. His exposure was writing sample apps against the iPhone SDK, making him among the first people in the world to `#import `. That launched him into the world of iOS development for good. He has since worked on a wide variety of interesting products, launched a startup, worked at several others, and still somehow not gotten tired of San Francisco.

Joel and I discussed Querl, a small library designed to ease working with GraphQL in Swift.

Tips on maintaining a healthy code base and why it matters

Peter Witham — Tue, 13 Jul 2021 02:33:16 -0500

Over time code gets dusty just like everything else. Maybe it's old libraries or old techniques. Or worse, maybe it is something in the language that is now deprecated and will eventually stop working altogether.

All good reasons to maintain a healthy code base, so let's talk about that and some suggestions on how to manage it.

Installing macOS Monterey on an external drive

Peter Witham — Sun, 27 Jun 2021 19:25:42 -0500

It was time for me to take a look at macOS Monterey. But as with every year, I install pre-release versions on an external drive. Which is normally not a problem. Until this year that is. The Apple M1 chip means I have to do things different and it is more complicated. I solved the problem and it might help you. So listen on.

Peter Witham — Sat, 17 Apr 2021 20:20:06 -0500

WWDC21 Details have been released. I have theories on the images...

Peter Witham — Wed, 31 Mar 2021 01:06:27 -0500

Apple has released details for WWDC21, this year will be online just like last year. That makes a lot of sense to me, we all need to stay safe, although it's sad to not meet up in person.

I also have some thoughts on what might be hidden in the images.

Using the EnvironmentObject to make data available to SwiftUI views

Peter Witham — Mon, 22 Mar 2021 02:17:06 -0500

More than likely you have more than one view in your SwiftUI based application. If that is the case then you probably need to share data across those views and always have them displaying the latest data right? That's where the environment object comes into play, this makes it possible to do just that. I'll walk through the steps on how I recently implemented it in an application.

I will also be releasing a video soon, so if you are interested and want to know when that comes out head over to compileswift.com/contact and let me know.

Let's face it head on and talk about Apple certificates and profiles

Peter Witham — Mon, 25 Jan 2021 12:18:40 -0600

If you are a developer on Apple's platforms then you have probably encountered signing certificates and profiles. They start out fine, then they expire and can become a nightmare to deal with.

So I'll explain the problem if you don't know what it is and a possible solution that might help fix it. I'll even give this idea for free to Apple if they want to adopt it.

Sharing Data Across Multiple SwiftUI Views

Peter Witham — Mon, 13 Apr 2020 01:36:39 -0500

SwiftUI has a great way to handle data in your applications once you understand it. This week as I work on the next part of my SwiftUI application series on Patreon I had to dive in and discover @State @ObservableObject and @EnvironmentObject to be able to use my data across the application and have SwiftUI take care of all the UI updates for me as the data changed.

Once you understand how it works using just a few lines of code to set everything up, it will handle a lot of the data management for you in the background.

In this episode, I'll explain how I set it up and what I learned along the way.

iPad gets a cursor plus how much is that magic in the window?

Peter Witham — Mon, 23 Mar 2020 13:14:50 -0500

It happened, maybe it was inevitable despite Apple's best effort to say we don't need it. But the iPad is getting a cursor.

It's a new interpretation, but a cursor none the less.

Plus, can you say it floats magically for how much? Yep that's one expensive keyboard/dock magical floating thing.,

Peter Witham — Sun, 13 Oct 2019 20:07:01 -0500

I think it might be time for every other year major releases.

Plus, embracing dark mode on iOS needs a plan, some thoughts on how to go about adopting it.

Apple September Event, iOS/iPadOS 13.1? Plus my macOS Catalina Beta 7 Experiences

Peter Witham — Sat, 31 Aug 2019 15:51:21 -0500

This week, Apple sent out invitations to the September event, as usual we expect it to be iPhones and maybe something more? But the logo is always great fun in these invitations, I have my theories on what it means.

We also got an interesting situation with the iOS and iPadOS 13 beta's, we got a .1 release even before 13.0 shipped. I'll take a little about what that might mean and how it ties in with the September event.

Then in the last section, I installed macOS Catalina beta 7 because it is the only way I get to try out the preview system in Xcode 11. But the more interesting part is my experiences with the new security systems.
