Exploring iOS, SwiftUI & much more.
I recently had the opportunity to give a talk at iOS Conf SG 2022 : in this talk, called SwiftUI Lessons, I don't share the usual content you can find on this website.

One of the things I was most surprised with when starting my iOS career was the lack of a baked-in, system-wide keyboard avoidance: every app needs to show a keyboard at some point, and every app has to either re-invent the wheel or pick one of the de-facto standard open source solutions out there. Fortunately, in iOS 14, SwiftUI ends it all by gaining automatic keyboard avoidance. In this…
When building new SwiftUI components, it's common to offer variants for different purposes/screens. One way to manage such variants is via styles, for example by using instances conforming to LabelStyle or ButtonStyle : HStack { Label ( "The title will be hidden" , systemImage: "moon.circle.fill" ) . labelStyle ( IconOnlyLabelStyle ()) Button ( "Tap me" ) { // handle button tap } . buttonStyle (…
