Note: you could set shouldAddStoreAsynchronously = NO on the persistentContainer if you have a synchronous execution requirement.

Would be more helpful if it automatically locked when you stepped away, and then unlocked when you came close, like MacID does. https://macid.co

Re: Swift 2 + Xcode 7: Unit Testing Access Made Easy!!!!

lemonkey — Fri, 20 Nov 2015 22:22:14 -0000

Scenario:

* iOS application with a mix of ObjC and Swift classes.
* Unit test class written in ObjC.

Is it possible for the ObjC unit test class to access the public Swift classes in the main target (I don't think assigning the Swift class to both the main target and the ObjC test target would work)? I'm able to import normal ObjC classes that aren't assigned to the test target into the unit test class and I'm able to create a Swift unit test class and import ObjC classes that similarly don't have test target membership into it, but not for the ObjC test target importing Swift classes in the main target.

The main target does have module defines module set to YES and its module name is set, which is how I'm able to import the ObjC classes into the Swift based unit test class.

#import "MainTargetModuleName-Swift.h" won't work since this auto generated header is the value for the SWIFT_OBJC_INTERFACE_HEADER_NAME build setting on the main target, and the test target doesn't know about it.

Thanks!

Another way to have both your main app and an extension link to a common framework that has CocoaPod dependencies of its own is to use a private pod. This solves the problem of having both your main app and an extension target having dependencies on both an embedded framework and a CocoaPod which is also used by the framework, which causes runtime issues due to duplicate classes existing (say your main app depends on AFNetworking while your embedded framework has shared common code that also uses AFNetworking).

You can create a stand alone Cocoa Touch framework project as a subfolder under your main project. Then you can just create a private pod and update your main Podfile such that both your main app target and your today extension, etc. link with your private pod along with the rest of the pod dependencies.

Your private pod would have its own .podspec file that defines its subspec dependencies on AFNetworking and other libraries:

Pod::Spec.new do |s|

s.name = "YourFramework"
s.platform = :ios, '8.0'

s.source_files = 'YourFramework/**/*.{h,m}'

s.dependency 'AFNetworking'

end

You can also include various resource files that need to be shared across your main app and extension, etc. by defining them in the podspec as well:

s.subspec 'Images' do |img|
cfg.resources = 'YourFramework/**/*.{png}'
end

Your main podfile would then look something like this:

link_with ['MainTarget', 'TodayExtensionTarget']

pod 'YourPrivatePodCocoaTouchFramework', :path => './LocalPathToYourPrivatePodCocoaTouchFramework'

pod 'AFNetworking'

...

Too bad your phone has to be face down for this to be of any use. When your phone is face up, you're already seeing the built in alerts in iOS.

I too am wrestling with the "flashing" issue when canceling a transition. Annoying. Slowing down the duration in my case didn't help.

Re: Fitbit Aria Scale

Do not store this scale vertically, as it will initially be around 5 pounds off on the first reading. If stored flat, it's more accurate on the first measurement.
