I know many people are looking for jobs, I’ve included some remote iOS jobs. Let me know if they are useful.

🤔What is Xcode Weekly?

In an iOS developer’s life, learning is not a sprint, it’s a marathon. But I know how hard it’s to keep track of all the blogs, YouTube channels, twitter accounts, conferences, newsletters, etc.

Xcode Weekly is a bundle of iOS app developer stuffs I went through in the week which I feel are significant. And I’m sharing it with everyone here.

There are many weekly newsletters which cover many areas. But they partly cover what I need. So this is for people who may look for things I look for.

Let’s see what I have in the bundle this week.

📰 News

2. Custom HUDs in SwiftUI

HUDs have been part of the iOS visual language for many years, while we don’t have access to the native ones, SwiftUI lets us create elegant solutions that can go well beyond what a system API would ever offer.

3. Sort array of objects by multiple properties with Swift Tuple

A multiple criteria sorting mean a sorting in which we compare the first criteria, and only if the first criteria is equals, we then go to the next one. We do this until we find a non-equals criterion.

It involves declaring an array of predicates and looping, but we can remove most of that logic with tuple.
