Rolling Back | The Powers of Observation

The Powers of Observation. Apple and tech and me. Back in August of 2010, when I wrote a post about. My blogroll, I wanted to update that post frequently to keep it in sync with my blogroll as it evolved…. But it turns out, letting it lay fallow for almost three years means that I can do a “Where Are They Now” post. So where are they now? By Chris Ashworth ( Chris Ashworth.

Hacking the Mac, iOS, and more with Daniel Jalkut. NSURLSession Authentication Challenge Disparity. July 21, 2015. Thanks to a bunch of my networking-related unit tests failing on 10.11, I came to the conclusion that NSURLSession’s authentication challenge mechanism changed from 10.11 with respect to the way HTTP Basic Auth challenges are handled. If ([ challenge protectionSpace] authenticationMethod] = NSURLAuthenticationMethodDefault) { / Handle the challenge . }. In the developer forums in case people...

Hacking the Mac, iOS, and more with Daniel Jalkut. Category Archives: Open Source. June 20, 2016. The first Xcode 8 beta was released at WWDC, and includes a major revision to the way code signing is handled by default. You can watch the video or read the slides on Apple’s WWDC Videos. A major change from Xcode 7 is that Xcode now. That every target in your project specify a development team, even when the manual code signing option is selected. Xcode needs some mechanism for providing these values witho...

Hacking the Mac, iOS, and more with Daniel Jalkut. The Curious Case Of Xcode’s Commit Message. July 23, 2015. Xcode has a behavior with its source code integration, wherein the pending commit message is persisted so that if you cancel a commit, and then go back to commit again later, the text you already typed is preserved. This is a nice feature. However, my friend Seth Dillingham lamented on Twitter. That for some reason the persisted commit text on his Mac was. Named by the creator and used for whatev...

Hacking the Mac, iOS, and more with Daniel Jalkut. Brent’s Swift Tension. May 14, 2016. Brent Simmons has been writing new code exclusively in Swift for a while now, and he recognizes omissions from the language that he still anticipates will be hard to overcome as Apple presumably moves toward incorporating Swift into its developer-facing frameworks. The Tension of Swift. Are designed with the runtime in mind. I’m optimistic, because the Swift team has already made many concessions to make the lan...

Hacking the Mac, iOS, and more with Daniel Jalkut. Storyboard To Nib And Back. May 14, 2015. At some point along the way Xcode has consolidated the “Main Storyboard” and “Main Interface” fields pertaining to storyboard and nib files into a single “Main Interface” field that simply updates whichever of the pertinent Info.plist fields Xcode thinks you are working with. I’ve reported Radar 20954053. If you’re using storyboards, or. If you’re using nibs. Auto Layout: Copy First, Then Edit. Xcode 6 On Sierra.

Predictable Date Formatting | Indie Stack

Hacking the Mac, iOS, and more with Daniel Jalkut. May 26, 2015. See caveats at the bottom of this post. Some of my conclusions in the body of this post are wrong and motivated by a misunderstanding of NSDateFormatter’s documented behavior. I’m leaving the post here for reference because I still think it could help somebody trying to understand similar behavior in their own app, but don’t take the griping too seriously…. For example, the date format string I use in MarsEdit. The whole point of using NSDa...

Hacking the Mac, iOS, and more with Daniel Jalkut. Auto Layout: Copy First, Then Edit. May 12, 2015. Here’s a possibly-too-obvious tip for folks who are adapting older iOS and Mac UI from traditional “springs and struts” to Auto Layout: always make a copy of the nib content you are working on before you start hacking away. Before surgery, so to speak. Sure, because everybody in their right mind these days uses version control software, it’s. 1 Select the window element in Xcode’s Interface Builder.

Hacking the Mac, iOS, and more with Daniel Jalkut. WebKit Hacking From The Bleeding Edge. July 7, 2015. As the developer of an app. That depends heavily upon Apple’s WebKit. While I am very interested in the evolution of WebKit, I am. As an open source project, I initially believed I could build and run WebKit wherever I choose. After all, isn’t that what “open source” is supposed to be all about? But ah, there’s a catch. At least when it comes to building and running WebKit on OS X releases, t...A singl...
