This week's tip is from @[email protected]!

You can specify a hex value when defining colors in asset catalogs by selecting an individual color variant and using the Attributes Inspector. Comes in pretty handy if your design system uses hex values! 🎨 #iOSDevTips

@[email protected] 🅰️ In iOS 15, you can limit the min and max sizes of Dynamic Type in any view using the new minimum and maximum contentSizeCategory properties.

This is great for making sure your layout doesn't break at huge sizes (but don't overdo it). #iOSDevTips

via: https://twitter.com/SwiftyAlex/status/1626586781188775941

🤞 Hoping the new backDeployed() API means we’ll be seeing backward-compatible SwiftUI from Apple during #WWDC23 so we can keep shipping great stuff to folks on older versions of iOS! #iOSDevTips
