Pitfalls of a Legacy iOS Project
What seemed like a simple-reskinning turned into a much more involved project. It’s codebase that’s sat dormant for a few years, and that posed difficulty finishing tasks in the time we originally thought it would.
The following covers a few of the lessons we learned. That way you can be aware of pitfalls the next time you have to update a legacy iOS application.
Simple Cocoa Configuration Using Swift Structures
Apple’s introduction of Swift to the Cocoa development toolbox has created a buzz amongst Cocoaheads. The language is flexible and lends itself to new patterns which traditionally Objective-C programmers are excited about. I got excited about a pattern that emerged while working on a new version of the Dead Man’s Snitch iOS app:* using Swift structs to store application configuration information*.
