Unit Testing a SwiftUI Query
mjtsai,
Helge Heß: I’ve been wondering whether I could unit test a SwiftData Query, i.e. the SwiftUI property wrapper coming w/ SwiftData (in beta6 it is actually a macro). Aka whether I could unit test a SwiftUI view. This requires setting up an execution environment for the view, but surprisingly that actually works 🙂 Here’s the […]
Rescuing Files From Classic Mac OS...with Swift
Jordan Rose: The biggest benefits of doing this project in Swift are very similar to what the benefits would have been for using C++, back in the 90s, but with even more safety.

Xcode Cloud introduced cloud signing, where signing identities […]
Hacking NSAlert Button Appearance
Daniel Jalkut: Notice how the “Bar” and “Baz” buttons do not have a border or background color, making it difficult to know whether they are even buttons at all. The line between Bar and Baz clunks up the interface even more.[…]This exploded view from the Xcode view debugger shows that the top, default button, is […]
Uproot War from Ourselves
Swiss Miss,
