Hi, If I generate an image from a symbol the resulting image is surrounded by some margins. For example this code: let image = UIImage(systemName: "suit.heart") will generate this image: As you can see there are some margins around the content. There is a way to build an image cropped to the actual content, like showed in the below example? Thank you

Hi, I need to understand inside an override of UIBarButtonItem what is the systemItem of the button (done, add, trash, search, ...). Unfortunately at the moment the only method I found is to inspect the content of self.description (see below), but this solution, as well as being ugly, is very fragile because we can't be sure that the description will be the same also on future version of iOS / Swift. Someone know a better way to check for systemItem inside an UIBarButtonItem override class? Thank you class BarButtonItem: UIBarButtonItem {     override func awakeFromNib() {         super.awakeFromNib()         print(self.description)     } } <MyApp.BarButtonItem: 0x7fadbcacbea0> systemItem=Trash

Hi, I'm currently let the user pick a photo using PHPickerViewController. The advantage of PHPickerViewController is that the user is not requested to grant photo access (no permission alerts). After the user picked the photo I need to take note of the local identifier and the cloud identifier (PHCloudIdentifier). For the local identifier no problem, I just use the assetIdentifier from the PHPickerResult. For obtaining the cloud identifier (PHCloudIdentifier, on iOS 15 only) I need to use the cloudIdentifierMappings method of PHPhotoLibrary. The problem of that method is that is causing the photo library access permission alerts to display. Someone know if there is another way to get the cloud identifier from a local identifier without having to prompt the user photo library access? Thank you

Hi, This is how I'm currently configuring an UICollectionView sidebar cell. let rowRegistration = UICollectionView.CellRegistration<UICollectionViewListCell, SidebarItem> { (cell, indexPath, item) in var contentConfiguration = UIListContentConfiguration.sidebarSubtitleCell() contentConfiguration.text = item.title contentConfiguration.secondaryText = item.subtitle contentConfiguration.image = item.image cell.contentConfiguration = contentConfiguration } In order to specify the selection background color of the cell I'm setting the backgroundConfiguration property. This work as expected: let rowRegistration = UICollectionView.CellRegistration<UICollectionViewListCell, SidebarItem> { (cell, indexPath, item) in var contentConfiguration = UIListContentConfiguration.sidebarSubtitleCell() contentConfiguration.text = item.title contentConfiguration.secondaryText = item.subtitle contentConfiguration.image = item.image cell.contentConfiguration = contentConfiguration var backgroundConfiguration = UIBackgroundConfiguration.listSidebarCell() backgroundConfiguration.backgroundColorTransformer = UIConfigurationColorTransformer { [weak cell] (color) in if let state = cell?.configurationState { if state.isSelected || state.isHighlighted { return UIColor(named: "Primary")! } } return .clear } cell.backgroundConfiguration = backgroundConfiguration } Now I also need to change the text color based on the cell selection. When the cell is selected the text should be white. I tried to set the colorTransformer of textProperties of contentConfiguration like so: contentConfiguration.textProperties.colorTransformer = UIConfigurationColorTransformer { [weak cell] (color) in if let state = cell?.configurationState { if state.isSelected || state.isHighlighted { return .white } } return .black } Unfortunately the text color does not change after the cell has been selected. What am I doing wrong? Can anyone help me? Thank you

Hi, It seems that when using the inset grouped style in a UITableView, the cells are not aligned with the navigation bar large title. However, I've noticed that all Apple apps that seem to use this style (Settings, Notes) don't have this issue and the cells are perfectly aligned with the title. In the below example you can see that the cells of an inset grouped table are not aligned with the title (extra space between the red line and the cells) but the one's of the Apple apps are perfectly aligned. Do you know if there is a way to change the left and right cells margins of an inset grouped table in order to align them with the large title? Thank you

Hi! When using a diffable data source on iOS 13 and iOS 14 in combination with a fetched result controller, the didChangeContentWith method of the NSFetchedResultsController delegate return a new snapshot with inserted, deleted and moved items. Unfortunately, in the new snapshot items that have been modified are not refreshed. That's because the system appears to compare the identifiers to determine whether a refresh is needed or not. If we change an attribute of a Core Data entity the identifier remain the same and the item in the snapshot is not refreshed. For this reason, on iOS 13 and iOS 14, we need to manually check which objects have been updated and manually refresh the corresponding items in the snapshot. Now, it seems that on iOS 15 this is no more needed. The new snapshot I receive in the NSFetchedResultsController didChangeContentWith delegate method also contain refreshed items. So, in order to apply the new snapshot I only need to call a single line of code: func controller(_ controller: NSFetchedResultsController<NSFetchRequestResult>, didChangeContentWith snapshot: NSDiffableDataSourceSnapshotReference) { guard let diffableDataSource = diffableDataSource else {return} diffableDataSource.apply(snapshot as NSDiffableDataSourceSnapshot<Section, NSManagedObjectID>, animatingDifferences: true) } That's great, but I'm not sure if that's a feature we can count on from iOS 15 onwards. Is this new behaviour documented somewhere? Thank you

If we use white as tint color for an inline or compact UIDatePicker (iOS 14, dark mode) then if the today day is selected the number become unreadable. The problem is that the today day number color is always white and, when selected, the background color is also white. Anyone know a way to set the color of today's day number to black when is selected? Thank you
