Why is iOS Development so Convoluted?
Ok, I'm clearly missing something with iOS development. I've been developer for over 10 years and I'm jumping into iOS development now and absolutely everything seems to be a near impossible task to accomplish, when it is literally 2-3 lines of code to implement something using HTML/CSS/Javascript/Java etc. it seems to be a days worth of time trying to figure out how to actually implement something so unbelievably simple. Let me start with a few examples;- Responsive design: This seems to be focused around Constraints (but not to 'margins' or this breaks everything), yet this then breaks when you try and add something else into the middle and move items around in the storyboard, so you have to reset all the constraints and start again. Time and time again. What am I missing here? - Picker View: This is a simple select/option in HTML. I've yet to find any working code online that can implement this. I'm just looking for a simple Country selector to allow users to choose details - Date View: I haven't event started looking at this yet, I'm anticipating even more problems with this when it comes to date formats / working with dates etc. The offical documentation from Apple is abysmal and every tutorial you find online is out of date or doesn't work. I'm at a loss here. I'm seriously thinking of just giving up on iOS development for a couple of years until the ecosystem grows up a bit and is possible to understand and implement the very basic things. Am I missing something here while tearing my hair out? Or is it really this bad? Tips, guides, pointers, all useful. Any pros out here, please, point me in the right direction to pick this up quickly. This post is out of frustration after reading through all of the official guidelines and many tutorials online too. Another prime example of this.... posting this question - having to figure out what on earth 'enter the name of a place' means, England?

App Auth: error Attempting to load the view of a view controller while it is deallocating is not allowed and may result in undefined behavior
I'm using AppAuth pod to handle user login with Azure in my app. I followed this sample : https://github.com/openid/AppAuth-iOS/tree/master/Examples which works fine until my authentication code expires. It works ok for the 1st connection and all the time while the authenticationCode is still valid. Once it expires, I briefly see the alert to "Sign in" and then it disappears and I get the error :"Attempting to load the view of a view controller while it is deallocating is not allowed and may result in undefined behavior". (It works fine again if I delete the app and re-install it.) I read that I should "Ensure that there is a strong reference to the SFAuthenticationSession instance when the session is in progress.". And I think that's the case with the currentFlow declared in AppDelegate. (see code below) Did anyone ever faced and solved this issue ?import UIKit import AppAuth import AuthenticationServices var isLoginViewOn: Bool = false var isConnectionBtnPressed: Bool = false class ContainerController: UIViewController { // MARKS : Properties private var authState: OIDAuthState? var token: String? var menuController: MenuController! var homeController: HomeController! var panView: UIView! var isExpanded = false var isLoginOut: Bool = false let loginView: UIImageView = { let v = UIImageView() v.image = UIImage(named: "") v.contentMode = .scaleAspectFit return v }() let connexionButton: UIButton = { let b = UIButton(frame: CGRect(x: 100, y: 100, width: 100, height: 50)) return b }() let logoutBtn: UIButton = { let b = UIButton(frame: CGRect(x: 100, y: 100, width: 100, height: 50)) b.setTitle("déconnexion", for: .normal) return b }() override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() chekToken() } override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) { super.viewDidAppear(animated) if isLoginViewOn == true { if isConnectionBtnPressed == false { self.connexionButton.sendActions(for: .touchUpInside) isLoginViewOn = false } } } override func viewWillLayoutSubviews() { super.viewWillLayoutSubviews() view.layoutIfNeeded() view.layoutSubviews() } ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /// SET UP //// ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// func setupLoginView() { print("setup loginView") isLoginViewOn = true view.addSubview(loginView) view.addSubview(connexionButton) loginView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false connexionButton.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false [ loginView.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerYAnchor), loginView.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerXAnchor), loginView.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 250), loginView.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 128), connexionButton.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: loginView.topAnchor, constant: -50), connexionButton.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerXAnchor), connexionButton.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 200), connexionButton.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 50), ].forEach{$0.isActive = true } connexionButton.addTarget(self, action: #selector(buttonAction(_:)), for: .touchUpInside) if isConnectionBtnPressed == false { self.connexionButton.sendActions(for: .touchUpInside) } } func setupHomeController() { homeController = HomeController() homeController.delegate = self addControllerAsChild(forController: homeController) setupPanView(forController: homeController) } }The login part :extension ContainerController { @objc func buttonAction(_ sender: UIButton){ self.login() isConnectionBtnPressed = true } func checkToken() { guard let data = UserDefaults.standard.object(forKey: kAppAuthExampleAuthStateKey) as?

So @Apple - What're you going to do with the ongoing spam & consumers being able to post here
Access to these forums should be based on paid agreements on file to the Apple Developer Program, and this will prevent these social engineers from trying to game the board and members with junk. Apple, you pride yourself on security & privacy. How about fixing the access to these forums to only developers with a contract on file and approved students only?

I can't use the word "*****", but adverts for prostitutes are OK?
Dear Apple, I know that content moderation is difficult, but surely you can do better than this. You seem to have a very crude profanity filter that ****s out words with perfectly normal dual uses, but you can't stop the constant stream of adverts for c all girls in D ubai. Come on, sort it out! (And amazingly, this message is rejected as "You have included content that is not permitted" when I wrote "c all girls in D ubai", until I added the spaces!) (The word in the title is a small metal item used to join pieces of wood together, which can also be used as a euphemism for something couples do.)

This "Developer Forums" site is impossible to search.
I noticed a search for one word produces (for instance) 100 results and a search for two words produces a 1000 results. It seems to be looking for one OR the other and no option to search for both both. Adding quotes around both also does nothing. This is basic search tooling, and it seems to be broken. I found it to be completely impossible to search for, for instance: "ARKit" and "Safari" Perhaps is there a better way to search? Any suggestions? Maybe a Google search for these terms also including "Developer forums" and "Apple"??

... all talking about customer care numbers. Maybe Apple should make these Dev Forums just for signed-in Developers? If a Developer spams, they can be blocked. But if just anyone can register and post, they can spam, get banned, then start a new account. Or, Apple should implement some way of blocking the spam before it gets posted. I really don't understand what these spammers think they're getting out of doing this? Who is going to look through the forums and think, "Oh, a customer care number for something I've never heard of? I should phone that immediately!" Really does prove that spammers are dumb.

Let people post external links in answers
Many people post questions on these forums that have detailed answers in articles and blog posts from people who aren't Apple employees. It would be nice to link to these articles when answering questions on these forums. But if you try to link to a non-Apple URL, you get an error message that the domain is invalid. To post the link, you have to remove the https://www part of the link. This forces people to cut and paste the URL into the browser to read the article when they should get a clickable link. If you're worried about spam links, then either require posters to have a minimum reputation score or have a minimum number of posts to submit answers with external links.

DATA
Hello. I have data I need to add to my new app. Below is a simple example of my plants and the data I am adding to my app Aloe Vera a. Medicinal Properties (skin healer) b. How to harvest (Cut from the middle) c. How much water does it need (once every three days) d. Recipe (cut the leaf, use the gel inside for your rash) Almond a. Medicinal Properties (skin healer) b. How to harvest (cut the young leaves) c. How much water does it need (daily) d. Recipe (soak in water overnight, rinse, blend) Raspberry a. Medicinal Properties (skin healer) b. How to harvest (cut from mid branch) c. How much water does it need (twice a day) d. Recipe (mix raspberry with coconut water and blend.) I understand that the above date (information about the four plants) needs to be organized in a Numbers file. The questions are: Where in the app do you import the Numbers file? What is the code? I mean the code that you write for this. So when you click on the Raspberry button, the app jumps to another page with four other buttons (Medicinal Properties, How to harvest, How much water does it need, recipe? Is there a video that shows this? Thanks so much for your time.

Wrong identity here in the forum
Would anyone have any idea why my posts are being attributed to "Dave L. Upperton" of Cupertino, CA? I've signed in with my Apple ID, and that is absolutely not who I am... Apple, we've got a problem here. When I click on "account" it correctly identifies me as Steve Davison and I can access all my apps in App Store Connect, but here in the forum I seem to have an alter-ego.

Unable to reply to a question to the forum
I was trying to send a reply in URL https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/657081 and after loggin in, the Reply button disappeared. Does anybody know why? I've just registered in the forum. I've found an working alternative URL for sysdiagnose in www. jessesquires. com/blog/2018/02/08/how-to-sysdiagnose-ios/ (the ones in the forum page don't work). In that page (I had to break the domain because the forum doesn't let me send that URL) appears https://developer.apple.com/bug-reporting/profiles-and-logs/?name=sysdiagnose as the right URL for sysdiagnose. Kind regards, Oscar P. D.: I have added a tag because I need at least one tag to be able to post in this forum, but I couldn't choose a right one because there isn't anyone that fits to my question.

Wrong identity here in the forum
Would anyone have any idea why my posts are being attributed to "Dave L. Upperton" of Cupertino, CA? I've signed in with my Apple ID, and that is absolutely not who I am... Apple, we've got a problem here. When I click on "account" it correctly identifies me as Steve Davison and I can access all my apps in App Store Connect, but here in the forum I seem to have an alter-ego.

Unable to reply to a question to the forum
I was trying to send a reply in URL https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/657081 and after loggin in, the Reply button disappeared. Does anybody know why? I've just registered in the forum. I've found an working alternative URL for sysdiagnose in www. jessesquires. com/blog/2018/02/08/how-to-sysdiagnose-ios/ (the ones in the forum page don't work). In that page (I had to break the domain because the forum doesn't let me send that URL) appears https://developer.apple.com/bug-reporting/profiles-and-logs/?name=sysdiagnose as the right URL for sysdiagnose. Kind regards, Oscar P. D.: I have added a tag because I need at least one tag to be able to post in this forum, but I couldn't choose a right one because there isn't anyone that fits to my question.

"Go Back" Keyboard Shortcut is Not Working
As a mac user, I used to use the keyboard shortcut ⌘[ to go back to the previous page. However, and for unknown reason, the shortcut is not working while viewing the Apple Developer Forums, which is very annoying.

How to share bug reproducing data in AppleDeveloper Forums?
I have a bug running tensorflow code in my M1, but it needs annotated audio data (as the TCN network processes audio data). How can I share a example dataset? I can't submit GDrive links...
