Hi there,
I hope you enjoy today’s content. Let’s dive in 👇

Documenting app's footprint
Here’s an interesting thread where people share how they document where the app saves things and how they like to organise constants. Lots of opinions - some prefer enums, others prefer extensions on UserDefaults. I personally like to use enums as shown in this tweet - making one per-app or per-module depending on the size of the codebase.

Usually I want to have a clear overview of where my app stores stuff. For me, the best documentation is the code itself.

So I gather the constants in one place - for user defaults, keychain, disk, etc. I like to call it `AppFootprint`.

How do you prefer to document this? https://t.co/BC6G9a3e9y
Named loops
If you have nested loops, you can label them, and use the label as part of your break or continue statements. This also works for if, switch, do statements. Here’s an article with more detailed examples: Swift’s Break and Continue Statements by Andy Bargh
Manuel Schulze
💡 You can give Swift loops a name (as you can see below).

This can become handy when you want to break out of an outer loop. You don’t need to keep track of your own variable and add some additional if-statements.

Text or String?
If you also get tired of wrapping strings in Text all the time, here’s a tiny extension to make it easier:

A lot of times I pass "String" to some #SwiftUI component but Text() component is required. Here is my solution to this. #swift #iOS #swiftlang #swift https://t.co/kin36VZi9H
Some wise words
I concur:

Programming:

1. Move build settings to a shared file

Engineering:

1. Write script to record resolved build settings
2. Move build settings to a shared file
3. Diff resolved build settings to verify they didn’t change
On passing App Store review
This one is not about improving the code, but improving the release cycle of the app. In this thread @jordibruin shares how he organises his App Store review submissions to minimise chances of getting rejected. Such wonderful advice that I couldn’t not share!
He explains what he writes in the messages, attachments he makes, and most interestingly about his FAQ page he shares with the review team.

I’ve been doing daily updates for the last few days for both the iOS and macOS versions of Navi and wanted to share a bit about how I minimise the changes of getting caught in App Review
