- Indie app launch learnings
Enjoy this week's SwiftLee Weekly! | |
| THIS WEEK'S BLOG POSTThe Network Link Conditioner is part of Apple's additional Xcode tools and allows you to test your app under slow networking conditions. If you're testing your iOS apps for slow networking, there's a better alternative. | |
| Huge apps like PhotoRoom, Mojo & Citizen use Superwall to build paywalls without shipping app updates. Learn how. | |
| CURATED FROM THE COMMUNITYThe journey of releasing apps on your own can be challenging. Bruno Rocha shares what worked (and what not!). If you’re ready to make your side projects successful, don’t miss out on this course.
swiftrocks.com I love the new features SwiftUI added regarding colors. This color modifier, explained by Majid Jabrayilov, focuses on color mixing. Ready to become creative?
swiftwithmajid.com Respecting accessibility settings is essential. Reducing the motion of animations is one of them, and you can quite easily disable SwiftUI animations by following Keith Harrison’s instructions.
useyourloaf.com Reusable components make your app more consistent and allow you to build interfaces faster. Peter Friese explains how you can create your own components with an action menu example. Oh, and, if you’re curious how he generated those nice simulator recordings, make sure to check out this app.
peterfriese.dev What if your app blocks debuggers, exits if code gets injected, or crashes your whole phone if it detects a jailbreak? Bryce Bostwick figured it out.

| QUESTION OF THE WEEK“ How can we make user privacy a core habit in iOS development rather than an afterthought? — Anonymous User privacy is super important, but as the question states often an afterthought. This is bad for the end-user, but also for you as a developer. You might have stored data in a certain way already, making it harder to switch to a more privacy-focused solution. For example, protecting a user's email. Say you didn't think about it in the first place and you've stored it as plain text inside the User Defaults. It's 1) not secure and 2) you should've stored it in the keychain. It's hard to change this mindset other than that we should educate developers early on about the importance of user privacy. You'll probably learn the hard way, or via today's newsletter ;-). Just like you'll thank yourself from writing tests right away, you'll also thank yourself for taking extra time to store data securely. It will pay of in the long term and if you don't believe me now, you will in a few months. | |
