Issue #928 For iOS, use string Setting this property replaces all current items in the pasteboard with the new item. If the first item has no value of the indicated type, nil is returned. let pasteboard = UIPasteboard.general pasteboard.string = "hello world" For Mac, use clearContents first Clears the existing contents of the pasteboard, preparing it for new contents. This is the first step in providing data on the pasteboard....

Issue #925 Use AES.GCM method with 128 bits key import CryptoKit public extension Optional { func tryUnwrap() throws -> Wrapped { if let value = self { return value } else { throw NSError(domain: "", code: 0) } } } public struct Crypto { static func encrypt(input: Data, key: String) -> Data { do { let keyData = Data(key.data(using: .utf8)!.prefix(32)) let key = SymmetricKey(data: keyData) let sealed = try AES.GCM.seal(input, using: key) return try sealed....

Issue #924 Note Navigation state needs to be in the container of NavigationSplitView for changes to propagate Need to use WindowGroup for navigation bar to work NavigationSplitView the navigation split view coordinates with the List in its first column, so that when people make a selection, the detail view updates accordingly. Programmatic changes that you make to the selection property also affect both the list appearance and the presented detail view...

Issue #923 NavigationLink on Mac applies the default button style. We can style it using ButtonStyle, here to use plain style we can just NavigationLink(value: DetailRoute.books) { BooksView() } .buttonStyle(.plain)

Issue #910 Use one-sided range operator let string = "Hello world" string[string.startIndex...] // Hello world string[..<string.endIndex] // Hello world Substring let string = "Hello world" let range = string.startIndex ..< string.index(string.startIndex, offsetBy: 5) string[range] // Hello Convert to and from NSRange let string = "Hello world" let range = string.startIndex... let nsRange = NSRange(range, in: string) let regex = NSRegularExpression(pattern: pattern) let matches = regex.matches(in: string, range: nsRange) for match in matches { let range = Range(match....

Issue #908 When we add another UIWindow, then its rootViewController will decide the style of the status bar, not the rootViewController of the keyWindow anymore childForStatusBarStyle The usual way to fix this is to defer the decision to the correct rootViewController, like in our HUDViewController class HUDViewController: UIViewController { override var childForStatusBarStyle: UIViewController? { let windows = view.window?.windowScene?.windows ?? [] for window in windows where window != self.view.window { return window....

Issue #905 Protect mutable state with Swift actors Actor reentrancy Imagine we have two different concurrent tasks trying to fetch the same image at the same time. The first sees that there is no cache entry, proceeds to start downloading the image from the server, and then gets suspended because the download will take a while. While the first task is downloading the image, a new image might be deployed to the server under the same URL....

Issue #904 Consider this code where we have an ObservableObject with fetch1 and async fetch2, and a fetch inside ContentView Here the observation in Xcode 14 ViewModel.fetch1: run on main thread ViewModel.fetch2: run on cooperative thread pool ContentView.fetch: run on main thread import SwiftUI import CoreData import Combine class ViewModel: ObservableObject { @Published var string = "" func fetch1() { let url = URL(string: "https://google.com")! let data = try!...

Issue #898 Change element position using either offset or position, and use DragGesture Use GestureState to store the updating startDragLocation to keep the start location when drag begins, so we can add translation struct MoveModifier: ViewModifier { @Binding var position: CGPoint @GestureState private var startLocation: CGPoint? func body(content: Content) -> some View { content .gesture(gesture) } private var gesture: some Gesture { DragGesture() .onChanged { value in var position = startLocation ?...

Issue #896 Use underscore _focus we get access to underlying FocusState object, but underscore _ is private to a View hence can’t be used in extension If we want to pass FocusState to another View or in extension, we can pass its Binding enum FocusElement: Hashable { case name case email } struct ParentView: View { @FocusState var focus: FocusElement? var body: some View { ChildView1(focus: _focus) ChildView2(focus: $focus) } } struct ChildView1: View { @FocusState var focus: FocusElement?...

Issue #891 Below are my favorite WWDC videos. My focus is to use SwiftUI to make useful apps with great UX. I don’t pay much attention to new frameworks as they come and go, but the underlying reasons and design principles are worth remembering.
