Text is an important SwiftUI view that supports localization, formatting, and styling, but its behavior isn’t always obvious.
To understand how it works and how to use it effectively, check out the free sample chapter from my book SwiftUI Fundamentals: https://books.nilcoalescing.com/swiftui-fundamentals/Text-and-localization
Trying to get it to work in a NavigationSplitView consistently across #iPhone and #iPad has a Don Quixote like pointlessness to it.
I don't want or care for #appleai or a new glass iOS19 re-design, I just want swiftui to f-ing work
I revamped the way I make color themes inside LongAgo to make it so much easier to add more stuff.
7 complete new themes in the latest release of Long Ago!
The #SwiftUI question that has been driving me crazy for months: I want to use the List element for its native design. However, I also need to place a view at the top that spans the full width, which the List does not allow. Negative padding and row inserts haven’t helped either. Any ideas?

A proper Mac app deserves some proper documentation so I'm going overboard creating a help book for Cartographer.
None of that link to a webpage stuff here.

How do you change the accessibility language used by VoiceOver with SwiftUI? #SwiftUI #iOSDev

Xcode 16 introduced the Previewable macro, making it easier to preview #SwiftUI views with bindings. By annotating dynamic properties like @State in a Preview body with @Previewable, we can pass them as bindings to views directly:

I filed a Feedback and Apple fixed my problem!
...months after they told me it wasn't a problem, closing my feedback internally and preventing me from continuing the dialogue.
If you have any previews in your #Xcode projects that are using the `return someView{}` syntax the latest update will return an error for this.
The error is that you are not returning a `some SwiftUI.View` type regardless if the view you are returning is in fact a SwiftUI.View.
I've not refactored my code around this yet but if you have this sort of pattern you may want to hold off on updating

Just moved over from mastodon.design, so it's time for another #introduction!
I'm Toni 
I’m a software #designer, though I’m spending more and more time writing code, mostly in #swiftui and #react
When I'm not heads down at work, you'll catch me #cycling, eating my weight in oranges, walking with my #schnauzer named Xenon, or just getting lost in a new #book, #anime, or #manga.
I’m also a passionate #yugioh collector, #nba fan and I play #guitar occasionally.

I often see SwiftUI examples using + to combine Text views and style individual segments. While this works, it has limitations with localized text. I wrote a post discussing why text interpolation is often a better choice in these situations: https://nilcoalescing.com/blog/TextConcatenationVsTextInterpolationInSwiftUI/
