I need to implement a remote control for a SwiftUI app running on iPad. I would need to handle 2 different events like Start / Stop. On software side, I plan to use .onReceive to listen to BLE device. So my questions: I need realtime reaction (a few 1/100 s max) can any BLE remote control do the job ? If anyone has tested some low cost remote, I am interested to know. Or should I look for Homekit solutions ? Or use an iPhone as remote controller ?

I installed Xcode 14.2 (in parallel with other versions of Xcode with different names) on MBP MacOS 12.6.2. Il works OK except when trying to use WatchOS simulator. When I select a WatchOS target and then look for simulator, none is installed. I get an item in menu proposing to GET 9.1. I downloaded. But at the end of download, installation failed with the message that installation of watchOS 9.1 simulator runtime failed in CoreSimulator. I tried the solution proposed here, to no avail. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74096242/unable-to-select-device-for-watchos-app-in-xcode Note: installation on an iMac running 12.6.2 and Xcode 14.2 shows a long list of simulators:

In a SwiftUI project, I get the following runtime error: 2022-12-15 11:31:37.453318+0100 MyApp[7039:3585656] [SceneConfiguration] Info.plist contained no UIScene configuration dictionary (looking for configuration named "(no name)") There are no scene in the project: I have tried to change the settings, To no avail.

Is there a difference in the distribution of results between those 2 forms ? let x = (1...9).randomElement()! let y = Int.random(in: 1...9) In doc, I never see the first form used

I get this error in Xcode 14 / iOS 16 on device that I had not with previous versions.

I read in Xcode 14 release notes: Fixed: WatchKit storyboards are deprecated in watchOS 7.0 and later. Please migrate to SwiftUI and the SwiftUI Lifecycle. (94058186) And effectively, when adding a WatchOS target to an iOS app as a companion, it is now created as SwiftUI. In Xcode 13 we could still create as WatchKit (storyboard). That raises a few questions: what will happen to existing apps with companions ? Shall we have soon to redesign Watch part completely from storyboards to SwiftUI ? What is the reason for such a deprecation ? That leads to have code with a part in storyboard the other in SwiftUI. Not ideal situation. Is WatchKit deprecated completely ? Personal opinion: with some present limitations of SwiftUI (such as in Lists), it will make it pretty hard to get the same flexibility in the designs that we had with WatchKit. I find it a regression not to leave both options possible.

That's a follow up of a previous thread. https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/707130 I did some test on iOS 16 simulator with Xcode 14ß. Recognition is very poor. And recognition rate of some single letters (an L or an I for instance) is zero (literally). Same code worked better (success 50% for same single letters) with iOS 15.2. Did something change on iOS 16 ? I filed a bug report: Jun 7, 2022 at 3:28 PM – FB10066541

That's an old question (this thread https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/16375 dates back iOS9 or this other thread https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67249956/uisearchbar-warning-uitexteffectswindow-should-not-become-key-please-file-a-bu), but I've not found a comprehensive answer yet. I need to add a Return key to a numeric keyboard (BTW, how is it it does not exist in standard ?) I used to do it using let keyBoardWindow = UIApplication.shared.windows.last  to get the keyboard window and then adding the subview (self.returnButton) to it keyBoardWindow?.addSubview(self.returnButton) Worked great and still works OK with iOS 15. But we are told to use connectedScenes instead… So I adapt code: var keyBoardWindow: UIWindow? = nil if #available(iOS 13.0, *) { // use connectedScenes let scenes = UIApplication.shared.connectedScenes let windowScene = scenes.first as? UIWindowScene if let kbWindow = windowScene?.windows.last { keyBoardWindow = kbWindow } } else { keyBoardWindow = UIApplication.shared.windows.last } It runs, but subview does not show. The problem is that keyboardWindow used to be a UIRemoteKeyboardWindow (the true keyboard window) and now is UITextEffectsWindow, which is not the real keyboardWindow. So adding subview to it adds improperly in the hierarchy. Note: someone detailed the view hierarchy here: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/664547 UIWindow UITextEffectsWindow     UIInputWindowController         UIInputSetContainerView               UIInputSetHostView               UIEditingOverlayViewController                      UIEditingOverlayGestureView I guess I have to add subview to something else than UITextEffectsWindow (keyBoardWindow), but to what ? I tried      keyBoardWindow = kbWindow.superview as? UIWindow to no avail. I also tried to debug view hierarchy, but keyboard does not show in debugView.

Here is the setup. I have an UIImageView in which I write some text, using UIGraphicsBeginImageContext. I pass this image to the OCR func: func ocrText(onImage: UIImage?) { let request = VNRecognizeTextRequest { request, error in guard let observations = request.results as? [VNRecognizedTextObservation] else { fatalError("Received invalid observations") } print("observations", observations.count) for observation in observations { if observation.topCandidates(1).isEmpty { continue } } } // end of request handler request.recognitionLanguages = ["fr"] let requests = [request] DispatchQueue.global(qos: .userInitiated).async { let ocrGroup = DispatchGroup() guard let img = onImage?.cgImage else { return } // Conversion to cgImage works OK                 print("img", img, img.width)                 let (_, _) = onImage!.logImageSizeInKB(scale: 1) ocrGroup.enter() let handler = VNImageRequestHandler(cgImage: img, options: [:]) try? handler.perform(requests) ocrGroup.leave() ocrGroup.wait() } } Problem is that observations is an empty array. I get the following logs: img <CGImage 0x7fa53b350b60> (DP) <<CGColorSpace 0x6000032f1e00> (kCGColorSpaceICCBased; kCGColorSpaceModelRGB; sRGB IEC61966-2.1)> width = 398, height = 164, bpc = 8, bpp = 32, row bytes = 1600 kCGImageAlphaPremultipliedFirst | kCGImageByteOrder32Little | kCGImagePixelFormatPacked is mask?

But no observations. Now, if I use the same func on a snapshot image of the text drawn on screen, it works correctly. Is there a difference between the image created by camera and image drawn in CGContext ? Here is how mainImageView!.image (used in ocr) is created in a subclass of UIImageView: override func touchesEnded(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) { // Merge tempImageView into mainImageView UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(mainImageView!.frame.size) mainImageView!.image?.draw(in: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: frame.size.width, height: frame.size.height), blendMode: .normal, alpha: 1.0) tempImageView!.image?.draw(in: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: frame.size.width, height: frame.size.height), blendMode: .normal, alpha: opacity) mainImageView!.image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext() UIGraphicsEndImageContext() tempImageView?.image = nil } I also draw the created image in a test UIImageView and get the correct image.

Hi Quinn, if I may add a point 10 to your (very meaningful) list: when pasting images, think of reducing the size (can edit simply the image ref by dividing a dimension by 2) to avoid huge images that clutter the screen. When you get an answer, please indicate if that solved the issue, if not explain what is not working. And don't forget to close the thread by marking the correct answer once you got it.

Here is the set up: I try to set a constraint for the top of tableView relative to safe area. No way by control-drag from tableView to Safe area. But if i create such a constraint for another object (here, like upperView) and then edit the constraint in Inspector, I can replace UpperView by tableView ; and get my constraint set. What am I missing here ?

I have a tableView inside a UIView in a VC. This VC is in a navigation view. It is a UIViewController, not a UITableViewController. The VC set up is this one: The issue: When I run app, there is a bar (full width, about 25 pixels high) appearing over the tableView at the bottom, hiding partially a cell (we see the (i) button nearly completely hidden). When scrolling tableView, this bar does not move and hides other cell. I looked at the view in debugger (I edited the content of cells): and found that the bar which is hiding comes from navigation controller: So 2 questions: what is this view ? How to avoid it coming over the table view ? I have a solution by replacing upperView by a header in tableView, but I would like to understand what goes on here.

I get a surprising crash when adapting constraints. Xcode 13.2.1 iOS 15.2 on simulator Here is the set up in storyboard: A subclass of UIView (PopoverView) to draw a popover like frame and label and button inside. PopoverView can set its arrow position all around, for instance on the right, so that popover will appear on the left of an object, or on the left, to appear on the right. Button tap is used to loop through the arrow position. I have defined constraints (and their IBOutlets), and notably for the centerX position of popoverView to centerX of the label. I adapt the value of the constraints in viewWillLayoutSubviews to position the popover in correct position relative to the label. Now the problem. To position the popover on the right of the label, I set its centerX constraint as follows in viewWillLayoutSubviews(): popoverCenterToLabelCenterConstraint.constant = (popoverLabel.frame.width + label.frame.width) / 2 That works OK To position the popover on the left of the label, I set its constraint as follows (offset the opposite value): popoverCenterToLabelCenterConstraint.constant = -(popoverLabel.frame.width + label.frame.width) / 2 I also tried: popoverCenterToLabelCenterConstraint.constant = -popoverLabel.frame.width / 2 - label.frame.width / 2 App does not crash but hangs, apparently in an infinite loop. Idem if I divide by 2.0 instead of 2 : label.frame.width / 2.0 The width of the label, at this point of code, is 92.33333333333333 So I replaced by the value directly: popoverCenterToLabelCenterConstraint.constant = -popoverLabel.frame.width / 2 - 46.2 and it works OK. Idem with 46.1 So the problem is not due to the position of popoverView If I replace the div by 2 by 2.01 : - popoverCenterToLabelCenterConstraint.constant = -popoverLabel.frame.width / 2 - label.frame.width / 2.01 it works !!!!!! Conclusion: it is the exact div by 2 that causes the hanging. What could be the reason for this strange behaviour ?

I get this weird behaviour of Xcode. Version 13.2.1 or 13.2 RC (may be other). In the storyboard I had a UITableViewController. As it does not give any flexibility to add other views in the VC, I created a new UIViewController, recreated the tableView inside as well as some other objects, added the new views I needed, redid all connections. Then I removed the UITableViewController. Everything works perfectly fine. But sometimes (cannot find any pattern for the cases), when opening the project, the old UITableViewController appears in Storyboard. The new UIViewController doesn't even seem to be here. When I select different VC in SB, no information in Identity inspector or other inspector. But it compiles and runs OK, using the new UIViewController. I cleaned build folder, closed Xcode, reboot the Mac, to no avail. Only way to get it solved was to close the SB and reopen it… Is there a cache somewhere in SB that is not cleared ?
