Out of the box, SwiftUI’s TextField and other components don’t allow you to bind to an Optional model value.

In this post I explain how you can write an extension on Binding provide default values for optional values so that you can bind to them.

Group Learning Project: Testing
#SwiftUI #AppleDev #UnitTesting

During the most recent Swift Dev Chat session, Dustyn came up with the great idea to do a community group project to rework some of Apple’s WWDC sample projects to incorporate comprehensive unit tests.

So apparently Apple approved a knock-off of GBA4iOS — the predecessor to @delta I made in high school — in the App Store. I did not give anyone permission to do this, yet it’s now sitting at the top of the charts (despite being filled with ads + tracking)

I’ve bit my tongue a bunch in the past month…but this really frustrates me. So glad App Review exists to protect consumers from scams and rip-offs like this 🙄

Feeling a need to balance out all the complaining I do about #Swift, #SwiftUI, #Xcode, etc…

Things like .healthDataAccessRequest for getting user permission to access health info are excellent features.

Add this modifier to a view and it will present a dialog asking for permission to access the users stored health info. One line of code saves so much work. Good stuff
