A UIDocumentViewController question:

I'm migrating my document-based app to UIDocumentViewController to take advantage of the new launch experience in iOS 18.

UIDocumentViewController currently closes the UIDocument when the document var is set to nil or the controller is deallocated. This means you can't have the same document in more than one scene short of keeping all the controller instances alive.

Anyone know of a way to prevent UIDocumentViewController from closing the document?

Being at #wwdc24 is super special. Seeing your icon in the keynote is 🤯

If an app uses iCloud Documents and Core Data with CloudKit should these services use the same container or separate containers?

I can find info about each service in isolation but nothing about configuring both. Apple says you can of course have multiple containers but doesn't really have a suggestion for why aside from accessing containers from other apps you develop.

If you are still targeting macOS 11 on Apple Silicon with your apps, building with Xcode 15, and are seeing reports of a crash at startup, make sure to pass -Wl,-ld_classic (exactly that string) in the “Other Linker Flags" build setting, particularly if you are using C++.

That will force the use of the old linker, which doesn't have this issue with macOS 11. It's documented as a known issue in the Xcode release notes, but I know many developers who missed it, including myself!

Apple, please just fix UITextInteraction on iOS 17. I really don't feel like adding a workaround to deal with this 😞 (FB12622609) https://github.com/simonbs/Runestone/issues/313

Hi Mastodon Community 👋 - I am looking for a new role and would appreciate your support. Know anyone who needs an iOS engineering subject matter expert?
Thank you in advance for any connections, advice, or opportunities you can offer. In the meantime I’m back to being an indie developer! 🎉 #OpenToWork #iosdevelopment #visionos #swiftui #mobileappdevelopment #engineeringmanagement
@steveshepard @knutknatter Ouch. It’s a frustrating situation right now. I really can’t figure out what we’re supposed to do. UITextInteraction has some new and bad bugs in iOS 17. If these aren’t fixed before the release, it’s really bad.
