xcodes VS Kingfisher

For easier update, I'd recommend you to use xcodes

Never use the AppStore for it, it is an absolutely pain instead use this nice commandline tool :) https://github.com/XcodesOrg/xcodes

Try using the xcodes CLI with experimental unxip https://github.com/XcodesOrg/xcodes

If you haven’t already, this is the time to install a tool like yadm and get your computer configuration into version control. Your command-line tools can be managed by yadm directly, your system settings can mostly be managed with a yadm bootstrap script that runs things like defaults write, and the software you install can be managed with a Brewfile that the yadm bootstrap script uses to install software with Homebrew. Don’t manually download Xcode, use xcodes to do it.

xcodes is your friend for multiple versions of xcode

there are other issues too, HLS video in my case, I'm using https://github.com/RobotsAndPencils/xcodes to revert back to 14.2 because 14.3 is a hot mess right now.

Or use the ‘xcodes’ CLI to easily download, install, and switch between multiple Xcodes.

We download new version (using Xcodes https://github.com/RobotsAndPencils/xcodes), see how broken it is, fix surface-level issues, then give the build to QA. After everything is fixed and polished, switch to new Xcode full time and clean up legacy and deprecated stuff

xcodes is rad as heck, a fantastic management tool for Xcode.

The 3rd party library I use GRDB SwiftyUserDefaults Kingfisher SwiftDate Popovers

Saving URLs definitely the way to go. Would recommend using a library such as Kingfisher to do the image loading/ caching for you.

I also looked into this github library but wanted to first ask if anyone's had any experience using it.

You can checkout Kingfisher library (it downloads image, and caches it). Usage is fairly simple but I would recomment that you create extension for the UIIMageView, somthing in line like this:

In native iOS, most people use Kingfisher, and i'd love to have something as good as that on our RN app. Perhaps just some pure JS library that you could plug on the existing image component, and that would handle the saving-to-disk and fetching of the image?

Kingfisher - Download and cache images

We are using https://github.com/onevcat/Kingfisher for smooth image loading in collection view. If the image data are not in regular text file, how can we integrate CoreData's blob data with Kingfisher?

Make sure the proper target is selected in the Add to target in the dialog as shown above, then click Add Package button. The package should successfully be added to your project. Now following the same process, this time search for the Kingfisher package using the GitHub URL as the following https://github.com/onevcat/Kingfisher.
