Project mention: Created this app using Swift and a bit of Objective-C | /r/iOSProgramming | 2023-04-30
I started out with the Hero library (https://github.com/HeroTransitions/Hero) but soon replaced it with custom made animation. However, you may want to look into this library as is has a lot of nice transitions ready to use for most cases.

I’ve been using Xcode for the last 13 years or so, and my advice is - us whatever is comfortable and makes sense to you. I use all 3: code*, storyboard and interface builder (xib). They all have their strengths and weaknesses. Storyboards are nice for quick simple screens with table/collection views and cell templates, but sucks when working in a team (merge conflicts on xml files is not fun). Interface builder has the advantage of being really quick for standalone viewcontrollers and views (after some code that takes away the boilerplate part of loading views from nibs) and minimized the git issues. And code is fun when you’re using anchors and frameworks like snapkit (https://github.com/SnapKit/SnapKit) but even when I was doing visual constrains using strings it was fine. Anyway, just try to learn a bit of everything and see what resonates with you. There are no right answers, just preferences.

Project mention: Is it actually safe to run multiple version of xcode if I want to try the new SDKs? | /r/iOSProgramming | 2023-06-09Absolutely. It's safe, and if you use something like Xcodes, it's convenient and easy as well (https://github.com/XcodesOrg/XcodesApp)

While I’m unsure I’ll be using Swift for the rest of my life, I’ll continue to work on my little tool to detect unused code for as long as I can. It’s my most popular open-source contribution, and it brings me joy knowing others find it useful.
