Synching a large amount of rows through CloudKit is pretty slow? Right now, I upload 20k of rows, and I pretty quickly hit the rate limit. Is it different on production?

Although I'm not sure if I will bring this feature to the macOS app of Daft Music.

#Xcode should have a way to override the preview compile timeout for complex setups.

I was trying to build a ModelContainer with a few photos and it takes longer than the allotted 5 seconds so it doesn’t work.

I found ways around it but that 5 seconds is arbitrary and could be adjustable.

Normally I want instant previews but this is “quicker" way to set up a complex environment repeatedly.

I suppose I could buy a new Mac Studio to speed things if that were possible.

If you have a #SwiftUI List/Grid and you are iterating over Model objects using id: \.self you may encounter a duplicate key in dictionary error resulting in a crash.

Changing to id: \.id or removing the id parameter entirely should resolve this issue.

for example:

forEach(photo, id: \.self) *boom*

forEach(photo) or forEach(photo, id: \.id) all good

Tricky to debug from the error message/trace but easy fix.

What’s the easiest way to take screenshots for the Mac App Store?

You can’t just grab a screenshot from your desktop and upload it. They need to be in a 16:10 aspect ratio and exactly one of the following sizes:

• 1280 × 800
• 1440 × 900
• 2560 × 1600
• 2880 × 1800

Simply resizing a standard desktop screenshot would distort the image.

How are other people doing this without it looking stretched or skewed?

An #introduction post.

Hi, I'm Marty. I'm an #introverted #actuallyAutistic developer from Adelaide, South Australia. I started playing with electronics in the early '70s, built my own computers during the late '70s and early '80s, and have been programming ever since.

These days I do a lot of iOS, macOS, and Android programming. Along with my son, I'm building an iOS game, a macOS weather app, and lots of internal-only projects.

I was previously @marty.

I’m happy to build the payment system in #StoreKit 2, but the server-side requirement is a blocker for me as I’ve no experience with backend development, which makes third-party solutions look tempting.

Any advice from other #Mac developers?

#Swift #StoreKit2 #AppStore #macOS #macOSDev #MacDev

Questions about #StoreKit 2 for #Mac apps: Do I really need a server to verify and validate receipts? From what I understand, this can be done locally on-device, but that may be susceptible to tampering.

On #iOS, this seems less of an issue as jailbreaking would usually be required to crack the app. On the #Mac, however, things are quite different. Should I be looking at third-party solutions such as #FreemiumKit, #RevenueCat or #Superwall instead?
