Hi Sean, I notice in your link you mention that updated courses for iOS 16 will be out soon. For someone who just started learning, would you suggest waiting until those updates are live before investing the time to take your course? Or are there just minor changes from iOS15 -> 16 that the courses will be pretty much the same?
Oh man! This preview is enticing me to get the course! I'm trying to hold off until I finish a project, But wanted you to know that this preview was a great idea! Thanks for giving us this handy knowledge Sean! So glad you're back at it with the videos!
haha I got you typing capitals, just type vstack and it will complete to VStack, great tutorial by the way, I've build many widgets already, but still struggle to get a perfect adaptive design, the widgets differ so much in size over iPhone/iPad models, even using geometry reader...
I made a counter app where the user can track anything they want to quit, such as smoking. What I want is, when the user starts the tracking process, they can see the progress on the home screen with a home widget. I can calculate the date difference, and there is no problem with that. However, I want to calculate the date difference every hour and refresh the home widget every hour. How can I do that?
0:42:25 There are two possibilities to change the file name. First and fastest, slow double click the file name and change it. Second option, look at the right, Inspectors view -> Identity and Type -> Name. Great tutorial and nice explanations.
I just tried to follow your example but right in the beginning with the gradient, it doesn't fill the entire widget but just a square. How do I get this to fill the whole widget in iOS 17.2? I just signed up for the course, perhaps it covers that part. I definitely want to learn how to get dynamic data from a JSON endpoint.
Hey Mike, yes, this is covered in the course. iOS 17 introduced something called "contentMargins" that is causing that. We address this in the iOS 17 update section of each widget. (It's a pretty simple fix).
Faced the same issue. In the MonthlyWidget section add `contentMarginsDisabled` at the end. That should fix it. .configurationDisplayName("My Widget") .description("This is an example widget.") .contentMarginsDisabled()
0:47:52 You went to September because -3 means to go back 3 months from December, as 0 represents December last year. Since 12 - 3 = 9, the calculation gave you a date in September last year
Amazing! I was having a hard time getting the initial colors you paste. the ones that were blocks in 'Color(*)'. Is there an easy way to get the desired colors other than the Xcode color library? Thanks again!!
I love the video but I met a problem where your code Text(entry.date.formatted(.dateTime.weekday())) does not exist. I am using Xcode 12.4 so please help me
Hi, do you think iOS development is good path for full time freelancing? Lot of ppl saying best choice is web dev but I'm really enjoying swift. How is the job market?
There are way more web dev jobs in the world than iOS dev. But... there are still plenty of iOS dev jobs and if that's what you enjoy, that's what I'd do.
Hey can please HELP MEE!!!!! I want to create a lock screen widget and i create it. But i just need one additional thing i want that when clicked on widget the widget should not open the app (Which it is opening). It should run certain that like making a call to the api. Can please any one help me how i can achieve this task i have searched all over the internet but didn't found any solution. PLEASE HELP MEE!!!!!
I've never done it, but I know it's possible. It has to do with pulling a screenshot of their wallpaper and matching the pixel area to be the background of the widget giving the illusion of transparency. I'm pretty sure that's how it's done, but like I said I've never done it.
