"If UIImage(named:) was called with the name of an app icon, it would previously return an undefined image of the icon set, without any masking or shadowing applied. On iOS 18, it now returns nil. To display an icon within the app itself, add the desired image to the asset catalog as an image set."
The commenter above then links to an Apple Forums thread, which is answered by an Apple engineer. Gotta look inside "CFBundleIcons" dictionary.
Anyone else out there struggling with alternate AppIcons in iOS?
Dear Goodness.
What a set back this was.
I'm pretty certain that changes were made in Xcode 16 that broke my alternate AppIcons. I hadn't touched YuDi since Xcode 15, and I'm certain everything worked fine then.
The summary: you'll have to duplicate your alternate AppIcons as Image Sets. Also, to get the name of your primary AppIcon, take a look inside "CFBundleIcons." Mine was "AppIcon-60x60" (yes with resolution).
my fault. the link above is for Swift. I got excited and just wanted to get this recorded before I forgot.
NSHipster hints at what can be done with with Method Dispatch in ObjC: "... Objective-C lets you do things like replace method implementations and create new classes dynamically at runtime. It’s absolutely wild what you can do."
About to interview with a pretty well-known company. Today, it's day 1 which is composed of 2 interviews totaling 2.25 hours. Tomorrow, it's another 2 interviews totaling 2 hours.
Here goes!
YuDi version 1.0 is out.
Now if you’ll excuse I’m going to find the nearest pillow…
Just pushed a new build of YuDi to TestFlight, because this is it! This is the build that goes to the App Store!
Sorry, I should have done this work sooner and given my testers more time.
Ok, gotta run! Gotta make screens for app submission then App Review! ahhhhhhhhhh
Oh, and here's the new App Icon! Isn't he adorable???? 🥰
Officially announcing my new app: YuDi (beta). 🎉🐲🎉
This app helps you find your animal sign in the Chinese Zodiac. The data comes from Wikipedia. Oh, and it'll work offline. 😄
This is my first app to utilize the great Fastlane.tools - what a joy it is to use.
TestFlight link available, and I would so welcome your input on where I can take it.
I've added 2 new features to my Swift Package!
And this really awesome ASCII art of the God of Time himself: Loki.
bug fixed! 🥳
For sanity reasons, all times in my data source are set to GMT time zone.
As a natural consequence, it becomes necessary to perform time zone changes before a query is executed and when presenting dates to the user.
"off by 1" explained: I'm in US Central Time Zone (GMT-5), so my device is automatically converting the GMT date (midnight of 02-09-2024) to my time zone (7pm of 02-08-2024). I fixed my data source to give me dates converted to my local time zone. 😁
