Apple has spent effort to bring Swift-NIO to iOS/tvOS. It is Swift-NIO transport services. This new extension is official unleashed in mid 2019. Any developers are freely to use it in their own project with free of risks. What is in Swift-NIO transport services?

[iOS] Youtube App, What is inside the IPA package?
Youtube iOS app is a high-rating video streaming app. It is absolutely 5 stars. For me with the experience I have gained in the iOs mobile app development, I have to say that the youtube iOS app is kinda a role model in the industry. Sometimes I wish I could reveal what is under the hood to learn more about its secret, and this is the post about it.
Compile and run Apple’s SwiftNIO
Last month, I wrote a post about How to setup SwiftNIO for iOS and tvOS. Basically, I manually create all the targets in a new project, set up everything from scratch. It takes time and I wonder there is a better way? I go back to the start point, try to compile the original Swift-NIO project, finally I see how it works.
Don’t mind to use Objective-C
Since the first Swift release in 2014, It seems like Swift is a super rock star which takes over the stage. As advertising, Swift is more modern, elegant and even faster. Well, they talk it up a lot. More and more companies have decided to migrate to Swift. Many many senior developers have moved away from Objective-C. Fresh iOS developers are told to learn Swift rather than Objective-C. However, Objective-C won't be dying. It will last long for many reasons. Let's go through the following reasons which I recap in this post
Setup Swift-NIO for iOS, tvOS
I look over Swift NIO, and I see it kind of potential. Written on the top of POSIX socket. Simple, lightweight. Some parts of its core are written in C or reuse C library. It even reuses the NGNIX's HTTP parser in its core. I have found out that this parser is used widely in some well-known software and open sources. Some instances are NodeJs's parser, IBM-Swift's Kitura-net,...
Keep the watch app away from Release Build
WatchOS app is an extension, it doesn't stand alone. It basically needs a host app. The WatchOS project usually is a sub-project which eventually its product will be attached to the main app. But XCode doesn’t give us an option to keep the extension out for Release Build. I’m going to write a tutorial to handle this situation.
Projects which use method swizzling technique
The post basically looks over some projects listed in awesome ios. I do not dive deep into each project to figure out what it does with method swizzling technique. Some of them use method swizzling for writing unit tests, some use swizzling for its core logic business, etc. Data persistence Firebase Firebase is Google's mobile platform that … Continue reading Projects which use method swizzling technique
Method Swizzling Fun Fact
Eventually, I have had my answer about using method swizzling in Swift/Objective-C. One of my teammates in AT&T who went to WWDC 2018 with a list of the desired questions to ask Apple engineers, he took notes some answers. These are 2 questions on Swizzling which were brought up...
Dispatch a task to a queue, be careful!
I'm pretty sure that all of us have known that UI manipulation has to be done on Main-Thread. I/O tasks, Networking tasks, Making Service API requests, etc should be done on Background. This is true but be careful...
