@michaelrowe01 I have experience with only one #maccatalyst app on on #macOS. IMHO it is an absolute abomination. Check with your beta testers, but my guess is they will say it is a breath of fresh air. It takes time to develop it, so you should be compensated for your work. If folks don’t thinks it’s worth it, they can always stick to the previous one, right?

So, my oldest app has a #maccatalyst version for #macOS, I've spent time this last week creating a macOS native version. It used to be that the #macOS, #tvOS, and #iOS versions were all bundled into one price. I am wondering, now that I have a much more native Mac. version, should I sell that as a separate version? It's a very inexpensive app, but I do update it ever year, and this year I am spending a lot of time rewriting for #AppIntents - #IndieDev

I have used #MacCatalyst for years and appreciated what it does in spite of some sharp edges and neglect on Apple’s part, but using Claude in #Xcode to port a #SwiftUI / #UIKit app to #AppKit really spells the end it.

Best as I can tell, even if you build a macOS Share Extension to add to your iOS project, a Mac Catalyst app can't support a Share Extension.

I'd like to be proven wrong, but from everything I can tell, this is how it is. No Mac Catalyst app can have a Share Extension running on a Mac.

@stroughtonsmith thank you for doing this again 😄

Still working on @ripppleapp, a trakt.tv client made for iOS, available on iPadOS, and macOS to track, discover, and share movies and TV shows.

This year, I’m bumping the deployment target to 26, the marketing version to 26, and preparing Liquid Glass for day one! #headfirst

It’s been more work than expected, but I’m optimistic about getting there on time 😅

I fear the answer is no, because SPM doesn‘t have a product type bundle and SPM cannot link products from Xcode project targets. On the internet I couldn‘t find anything regarding this.

I wonder if there‘s any ideas that I haven‘t considered.

With the irreplaceable help of @kharrison's Modern AutoLayout book, and a lot of thinking, I have got the core initial layouts working in UIKit. This is a UITabBarController (WWDC 2024 style) and programmatic split pane views, with a segmented control on the top of one. Mac Catalyst continued to morph this layout onto MacOS well. Never done layouts and controls purely in Swift before.

any #MacCatalyst experts here? how do i get rid of this titlebar section that's appearing in the primary column of my UISplitViewController?

macOS development has never been better, and it's never been more confusing!

Why don't we clear the air a little?

Today I released a new post called "Demystifying Modern macOS Development"!

#Xcode #swiftlang #macOS #iOS #MacCatalyst

In support of the theory that the symbols were just not loaded into the unicode private use area for Sonoma 14.2.1, the problem also shows up in Messages if you paste the symbol and send. The symbol shows up properly when running Messages on Monterey 12.7.2. #wkWebView #sfsymbols #swift #swiftui #iOS #macOS #macCatalyst

The latest combo of MacOS Sonoma 14.2.1 / Xcode 15.2 (15C500b) / SFSymbols 5.0 (91) seems to have broken SFSymbols support in a WKWebView. The trash symbol obtained from “SFSymbols->Copy symbol” shows up in Xcode, but the symbols don't seem to be loaded into the Unicode private use area-b like they should have been. At least that's what it looks like to me. Any of you other #wkWebView #sfsymbols #swift #swiftui users on Mastondon who have encountered it? Occurs on #iOS, #macOS, and #macCatalyst

One day I'm going to be good enough to create a brand new #Swift #MacCatalyst #Xcode project that doesn't generate errors in the console every time it opens.

I finally stumbled on @vbutko's terrific writeup about restoring the #MacCatalyst window frame at launch. In a multi-scene app, I could not find any other way to get the main scene's frame to be properly restored. Kinda crazy. https://www.vbutko.com/articles/how-to-preserve-user-preferred-window-size-in-mac-catalyst-apps/ #Swift #swiftUI

I was able to install Sonoma Beta 5 along with the #XCode 15 Beta 6 on my Intel iMac directly from the Settings->General->Software Update. Lo and behold, this issue (https://github.com/stevengharris/MarkupEditor/issues/76) is fixed!!! I was afraid that it would never receive attention given how lonely I was feeling at the intersection point of the Venn diagram of Intel processor + #MacCatalyst + #WKWebView + the need to intercept keydown.

Playing around with #dotnet #MAUI MediaPicker and camera access on #macOS and #macCatalyst.

I'm using #JetBrainsRider.

There is so much going on in this screen of my current #dotNETMAUI #MacCatalyst app already:
- Loading #SfSymbols via my custom library
- Coloring all icons with the #macOS/#iOS system colors via my custom library
- Extending image control to load a placeholder from SfSymbol
- Custom FramedContentControlWithText
- Entry handler modification to remove the border on Mac

Note: I did not yet wire up a #ViewModel instance.

Regarding yesterday's post about the #SFSymbols #ImageSource for #macOS and #iOS.

As Apple states in their docs (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiimage/configuring_and_displaying_symbol_images_in_your_ui) we should apply configuration to the view.

So the solution is to simply use the #CommunityToolkit 's IconTintBehavior to get the icons colored.

Well, the biggest part of this week's #dotNETMAUI task is done. I implemented a custom #ImageSource that uses #SFSymbols on #macOS and #iOS. Icons finally show up, now I need to figure out the coloring which is defaulting to the #accent tint no matter what I set (at least on the Mac).

Will #blog about it when I ironed out all the quirks.

🛠️ I'd been asked before how to implement custom menu views in Mac Catalyst, and I recently had the need to figure this out for one of my apps. Spoiler: it's a messy process, and desperately needs a public API (FB11863961), but it /can/ be done. https://github.com/steventroughtonsmith/CatalystMenuCustomViews #samplecode #maccatalyst
