#ipadosdev — Public Fediverse posts

#iosdev Ever wonder what the actual point sizes are for TextStyle fonts (.headline, .body, .caption1, etc.) and how they vary with Dynamic Type changes? I just found this: https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/typography#iOS-iPadOS-Dynamic-Type-sizes

There's a ton of useful font related info on that page for all #AppleDeveloper platforms: #ipadosdev #tvosdev #macosdev #visionosdev #watchosdev

Realistically how good is an #iPad for coding hobby stuff ? Just curious as I use an #iPad for years as an consumption device but I would be willing to try to code on this thing.

For #iOSDev (and #macOSDev, #watchOSDev, #tvOSDev, #iPadOSDev as well) I still really enjoy using Dash.app.

And for #SwiftUI I’ve really enjoyed SwiftUI Companion. I was just looking for alternatives to the .onAppear() modifier, so I popped into that app to see what I could find. I typed “onAppear” in the search field and landed on a great article with concise examples of Handling Events.

Building this app for four platforms at once is interesting because code architecture choices I would make for one platform, I wouldn’t make for another. Toss in a dash of framework availability, and it can get complicated fast. I’m trying to strike a good balance between making forward progress and playing 4D chess with myself. 😄

Regardless, there’s definitely a big refactor in my future.
