We have a solid agenda for tonight‘s CocoaHeads Boston meeting.
Xcode 11 and iOS 11
#Please note that apps built with Xcode 11 using named colors may experience lookup failures (with no value returned) when the app runs on iOS 11 or earlier. This will be fixed in a future Xcode update. To avoid this issue, raise the minimum deployment target to iOS 12 or later to submit to the App Store now, or rebuild with the next Xcode GM candidate seed when it’s available.
Excited for the Apple event.
CocoaHeads Boston will meet this Thursday. The agenda includes these presentations:
- How to build an app for everyone – by Novall Khan
- Introduction To RIBs Architecture – by Alex Bush
We also have two JetBrains products to give away.
I saw two deer when while out for a walk.
Looking forward to tonight’s NSHappyHour.
I just installed the new 13.1 beta (replacing iOS 12.4.1) on my carry iPhone.
I am feeling relieved and excited to merge a pull request containing a feature I have been working on for almost two months.
Congratulations to @brentsimmons and team on the release of NetNewsWire 5 for Mac.
Congratulations to @aleen on the release of her book, App Launch Map. I purchased my copy.
Ashoka Mukpo on the ACLU blog:
A senior corrections officer at the Wyatt Detention Facility in Rhode Island has resigned after being placed on administrative leave for driving his pickup truck into a crowd of peaceful protestors on Wednesday night.
How in the world is this person not behind bars?
Today’s episode of Core Intuition has a great conversation about the Automattic-Tumblr merger.
The most recent episode of Pod Save America has a powerful interview with Beto O‘Rourke. It starts 52 minutes in.
CocoaHeads Boston will meet this Thursday. The agenda includes Marc Respass talking about Codable/Decodable and Mitch Cohen previewing his 360|iDev talk on PDFKit.
View of Boston from the SwiftFest cruise.
I hit a big development milestone this morning. I will be at SwiftFest later today, after a mid-day appointment.
That feeling when you’re a few hours away from finishing a development task for about a week.
Better to have a few rats than to be one
#The Baltimore Sun Editorial Board:
We would tell the most dishonest man to ever occupy the Oval Office, the mocker of war heroes, the gleeful grabber of women’s private parts, the serial bankrupter of businesses, the useful idiot of Vladimir Putin and the guy who insisted there are “good people” among murderous neo-Nazis that he’s still not fooling most Americans into believing he’s even slightly competent in his current post. Or that he possesses a scintilla of integrity. Better to have some vermin living in your neighborhood than to be one.
Finale: Supertop & Friends is a great final episode to the Supertop Podcast.
I can’t make it tomorrow evening’s CocoaHeads Boston meeting, but it should be a good one. There will be a presentation by Chris Ladd on compositional collection view layout stuff in iOS 13 and Catalina. In addition there are several giveaways.
If you have ever installed Zoom on your Mac – even if think you have since deleted it – read this and make sure to delete both the app and the web server it installs.
