Bitrise has you covered with release management, learn more here.

One of the significant improvements of Xcode this year! SwiftUI previews should become more reliable, but only if you turn on this opt-in build setting.

I’ve often seen these translation popups, but I never knew you could use them inside your apps!

Multi-step animations might be difficult to create if you think about managing them manually with different state booleans. PhaseAnimator makes this much more achievable.

This article shows the latest improvements to SwiftUI regarding scrolling and the evolution of the Scroll API. It is a must-read, with helpful videos and code examples.

I’ve recently been setting up a network connection with Bonjour, but web sockets are a great alternative. This article provides ready-to-use code examples and explains how you can benefit from WebSockets in Swift.

This week's question is from Loopz:

Learn by shipping; ship fast. It’s how me and my Indie friends like to develop. 

This does mean we’re sometimes shipping features that could’ve been better prepared for the future. Data migrations can be painful and can add quite some overhead.

Yet, there are techniques to prevent this from happening. One is writing tests, which require structuring code to become testable in isolation. Isolation means flexibility and better preparation for the future.

Data migration is sometimes unavoidable; you don’t always know what to expect. However, by preventing unnecessary entity relationships and using data transfer objects (DTO), your codebase is more flexible for unforeseen future events.
