    It keeps asking if I want to run the app after building it. I reply yes, and then it says it can't do that, tries to build again by command line and gets stuck... (even with approv…

    I recently bought an oral-b toothbrush with the AI app thing, and it’s worked really well. Something about making the little dots disappear mean I’m now cleaning my teeth properly …

    Looks like they've weakened the requirements by only requiring it for apps that add the dependency after May 1.

    It’s questions like these that made StackExchange worth visiting and browsing. When they decided to be super strict about being on topic it made the quality of the sites go downhil…

    When the transition started the first LED bulbs were awful. They have come a long way since then.

    Ok but in the UK (and Europe im guessing) we had the ban on the old bulbs ages ago and yeah it was weird at first and the early LED bulbs were awful blueish white. But the bulbs ar…

    Says it's a perfectly functioning phone and then lists how it's not because it's old and got worn out. apps requiring later versions is an issue but the % of people on old iOS vers…

    They don't have to be sentient. It doesn't need to be better at creating software than humans. It needs to be cheap and good enough. Most apps and websites are pretty similar, eg, …

    I can't see how this is correct. The spinning dancer works because there's no details on it.

    When I realised that branches were just labels pointing to a commit, instead of a an actual "branch" ie a group of commits, then everything made a lot more sense. I still kinda wis…

    I don’t see how it’s that different to Swift? All that would be needed is a ? after `dict` and a direct comparison to true. dict.containsObjectForKey[@"a"] Becomes roughly dict?.co…

    I would love this so much, but uploading the IPA would be a bit of an issue :/ it would be impossible at my previous company (a large supermarket) and now I’d have to get justifica…

    I've actually found SwiftUI previews work fairly well, have to admit they get better with every Xcode version, and I don't understand why sometimes they need to recompile. Using th…

    Genuinely curious, how does he see the US, UK, EU etc helping Ukraine? Does he think all those countries are ruled by neo-nazis as well? Or does he not know the country he currentl…

    I’d much rather have a language specifically for creating apps than another generic language. It’s actually my opinion that Swift got worse since they started wanting it be used fo…

    Just because you’re using an IDE doesn’t mean your should read the documentation, and know what’s available, what’s in the latest versions and what’s coming up. The IDE is just a t…

    I doubt this. Apple could charge an activation fee with a normal SIM already and yet they don’t. And any money gained from this would be insignificant to their other revenue stream…

    There’s already an app called Airalo that lets you buy eSIMs in different countries. You don’t have to visit a shop to get a SIM which is better because in many countries the SIM s…
