RocketSim: An Essential Developer Tool
as recommended by Apple

Issue 153
Feb 07, 2023

Location-based application developers!

For the next version of RocketSim, I'm looking for developers that often simulate a location in the Simulator.

Do you simulate driving? Do you happen to change the location manually using simctl? Or did you create your tools to improve development productivity? Reply to this email and let me help you improve your development workflow.

Like always, I aim to make RocketSim the best development companion tool. After implementing features like design comparison, enhanced recordings, and quick actions, it's time to look into adding support for location adjustments.

Enjoy this week's SwiftLee Weekly!

THIS WEEK'S BLOG POST
This week's article is a typical example of me learning something new while writing it down. I've been curious to learn more about detached tasks since I felt using them is not always good. Whether I was right, you'll learn by reading the article.

GIVEAWAY
In collaboration with Lee Kah Seng, I'm giving away a RocketSim license. Since I covered many of his articles, I'm sure you're not new to Lee's blog. Nevertheless, make sure to check out his articles here.

CURATED FROM THE COMMUNITY

SWIFT

Vincent Pradeilles is here to show us different ways of writing extensions in Swift. With the latest releases, we got quite a few extra options!

Should we even care about jailbreak detection? It’s the question I had at first, but Marco Eidinger ‍ convinced me there’s still enough reason to investigate jailbreak detection to prevent acute exposure.

SWIFTUI

I did know about the onHover modifier, but I wasn’t aware of this one! I don’t have a use case for it yet, but it’s great to have this article by Nil Coalescing in my backlog when I need it.

Stretchable headers can give your app an extra touch, but it’s not always straightforward to implement. Daniel Saidi is here to help you out and explain the implementation.

STORIES

When you have more classes than Xcode can open, you know you’ve got a significant big project. Facebook’s project evolved over the years and came with all kinds of exciting tools.

ACCESSIBILITY

Jan Jaap De Groot is here to tell us about Appt, a guide for making apps more accessible. The website has interesting statistics, guidelines, and articles to explore.

APPS

If you’re creating tutorials or YouTube videos of code, you’ll enjoy this app by Aryaman Sharda. It lets you replay written code using checkpoints.
