@SuzGupta I’m so sorry for your loss 🄺
@designatednerd @DeepDishSwift and yay for supportive teammates and DocC documentation! šŸ˜‚

After 2 years straight of @DeepDishSwift and vowing to always return, I'm afraid I'll be ending that promise in 2025.

Got a lot of other stuff happening like my 2nd week at the new job (oh yeah, I got a job! šŸ˜„). Plus I'm attending an improv workshop I've been waiting the longest time for on April 27.

I'm trying accept this wane in my iOS life, but it's hard.

Because for real.

Deep Dish Swift is the greatest.

@vatthikorn I haven’t seen White Lotus, but I agree with the author’s sentiment. How do we as tourists step out of our worldview and witness their people, their culture, their way of looking at things?

Curious if you know of any shows or movies that depict Thailand’s culture accurately? I’m struggling to think of a good one!

"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.

How do I include iOS App Icon image within the app itself?

I have standard iOS app, with a standard app icon contained in Assets. I'd like to display the app icon within the app (using SwiftUI). Note that I am not asking how to set the app icon, or chang...

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).

@vatthikorn really sad what happened to those refugees.

I can’t imagine how different my life would be if my refugee grandparents weren’t admitted in to Thailand in the early 20th century. Thanks to Thailand, they had a big families and found a way to make a good living.

@CodingItWrong mad respect to the OGs who can do this stuff or any Objective-C at all. šŸ˜‚

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."

Objective-C Direct Methods

It’s hard to get excited when new features come to Objective-C. These days, any such improvements are in service of Swift interoperability rather than an investment in the language itself. So it was surprising to learn about a recent patch to Clang.

TIL some of the cool stuff Objective-C can do. (Is this what they call the Dark Arts????)
