@thatvirtualboy i did submit something but it wasn’t very good. I‘ve never seen it used in a feature.

@geoffhackworth Hi Geoff, how did this story turn out? Did you get something submitted? Did your app end up getting selected? In a similar situation atm.

I just received an email from the App Store asking for promotional artwork as it may be featured. Great, except: - I don't own and have never used Photoshop - I haven't the faintest idea how to "showcase your app's main features" - I can't afford to pay anyone to do this for me

@MishaScholte Sorry for the slow reply, I don’t use Twitter much now. It should be there, but in some app stores you get loads of other search results first, even when searching for the exact name (which is really annoying). Here’s a link: apps.apple.com/app/id10546700…

@geoffhackworth hey! I've tried searching for Adaptivity in the Dutch iOS app store but can't find it. Has it been removed?

@mgoetzke Hi Matthias. The tweet you replied to is over 2 years old. If I remember correctly, the bug was fixed in the next version of iOS and I haven’t noticed the problem since then.

@geoffhackworth Wow, deleting the app did not help ?

The App Store app on my iPhone 12 Pro on iOS 14.6 seems to be eating battery like crazy. Running the 'Activity' instrument it's sat there at ~50%+ constantly! WTF? A quick Google shows lots of people reporting problems. Might have to wipe it and restore from a backup

4 Menubar apps I use every day. 1. Bartender4 - macbartender.com 2. SF Menubar - apps.apple.com/ca/app/sf-menu… 3. XcLauncher - apps.apple.com/ca/app/xclaunc… 4. Folder Peek - apps.apple.com/ca/app/folder-… What are your favourites?

@jordibruin @nemecek_f Many thanks Jordi. I hope you find it useful.

@geoffhackworth @nemecek_f Finally got Adaptivity! Hope you get better soon 🙌

@Lee_Kah_Seng Many thanks for the help.

Do give some support if you can. 🫶

@MarcoEidinger Thanks Marco. I enjoy your blog too!

I highly recommend the tools from Geoff if you haven't tried them out: XcLauncher, SF Menu Bar, Adaptivity, and many more! #iosdev

@vermont42 Many thanks. I saw a recent blog post about using a testing app delegate but resisted the urge to mention my own older article and its code which also works with the scene lifecycle. Which was added in iOS 13!

@geoffhackworth Sorry to hear you are struggling. I was thinking of you the other day as I created a testing app delegate. Just bought Adaptivity!

@malhal I’m not aware of there being a SwiftUI API for the small menu elements. Other than widgets I haven’t actually done any SwiftUI, but I think I would have seen somebody post/write/video about it if there were a way. I have not.

@geoffhackworth Any idea how to achieve the "menu with small elements" in SwiftUI? Cheers

I'm not entirely sure where I'd ever want to use it*, but there's a new context menu attribute in iOS 16 which keeps the menu presented when the action is selected (UIMenuElementAttributesKeepsMenuPresented). * other than in Adaptivity to demonstrate the feature

@coughski @KSlazinski @DanielKasaj I can remember seeing a Mac menu bar app too that shows the different text sizes and uses the actual font for the labels. But I cannot remember where! I thought it might be something @simonbs made, but I couldn't find it in his GitHub or App Store page.

@KSlazinski @DanielKasaj Like this view in @geoffhackworth’s adaptivity but as a menu bar app

Which genius 🧠 in the #iOSDev community made that menu bar app displaying all the #SwiftUI text styles (large title, title 1, etc) ⁉️ I think about it several times a day 🥺

@EthanLipnik @emcro I don’t use any SwiftUI in my apps (except widgets) so am not fully up to date on APIs. I haven’t heard anybody mention support for this feature on Twitter, so my guess is it is still UIKit only.

@emcro @geoffhackworth Found this thread, any update on a way to handle this in SwiftUI? Haven’t found any resources on making small elements

@FloWritesCode I subscribe via RSS so that’s at least one more!

Nice little christmas present 🎁 youtube.com/FloWritesCode Happy holidays everyone :D

This review for my Adaptivity app brought some much-needed Christmas cheer and is a great explanation of why the app is a must-have for iOS developers 🥳🎄 apps.apple.com/app/id10546700…

@seanallen_dev @kkuldar Not sure how many graphs you expect to have but I still like the idea of the segmented control not scrolling. I think (in UIKit at least) you can have a large title and use a segmented control as a custom nav bar titleView. On scrolling, I think the large title just disappears

@geoffhackworth @kkuldar Unfortunately, I couldn't give the full context. I'm in the midst of a redesign, so this screen will be the initial view of a tab on a Tab Bar, so the bottom of the screen will be occupied.

🎨Design help wanted: Any suggestion on adding visual hierarchy to the top of the screen? The navigation title (Channel Stats), the channel name (Sean Allen) and the 3 main stats below. I'd prefer not to add color, but because they are all black the visual hierarchy is lacking.

For anyone else who was looking for a side-by-side comparison of the Barbie trailer with 2001: A Space Odyssey, here ya go!

@vashpan Thanks. You might be right but a quick look at the screenshots shows that the app provides a much more structured way to organise information than the few text fields that the Health app provides. My app allows for image and PDF attachments so it can include much more detail.

@geoffhackworth I definitely feel sorry for you, as I genuinely understand what’s like, and app looks rather solid. I think people might not understand why is it different than Health app if used for single user 🤔

The big update to Medical ID Records got 6 downloads on release day and has been averaging one per day ever since. I'm so disheartened by this 😫 Even for a single user, it's a fantastic app for recording detailed medical information. Please have a look; I really need more sales!
