Hi all, I am developing an app with Swift 5 and I am trying to find out how to retrieve files from the iOS photo library based on their file name search criterion. Is this possible? I am guessing there should be a unique file name for each image/video and if I am right, how to retrieve them if we already know their file name. Thank you in advance, Nikos

Hi all, I am new to Swift and I would like to fetch some images from photo library based on a filename "wildcard". E.g., filename LIKE IMG_22*.png Is there anyway to build such a query as a predicate? Thank you in advance, Nikos

I have just upgraded my iPhone X to iOS 14.4 and I have been using it for testing my app. Right now XCode cannot find it and displays a msg that it is not available and should reconnect the device. Basically, I cannot test any updates on my Xcode development!!!

Hi all, Just a general question. I am looking for a keyboard that has the numeric pad on the left and it is Mac compatible. I have been using the magic keyboard with a bluetooth numeric pad, but the numeric pad looses its connection after a while and it is kind of frustrating to wait even for a few seconds until it reconnects. Thank you

Hi all, I have formatted my Mac mini and reinstalled Big Sur. Then, I cloned it on my 500GB SSD drive in order to boot from there because it works faster with Xcode and Swift programming. Unfortunately the booting process does not work. I had dual boot with Catalina and it worked like a charm. Now, when I press the "Option" button during startup, nothing happens and it goes straight to Mac mini. I used Carbon Copy Cloner. Can anyone please give me a solution because I am stuck! Thank you in advance, Nikos

Hi all, I am interested in developing a watchOS app and in my preparation study I noticed that all tutorials refer to swiftui. I have been developing so far in swift with uikit and Xcode 14.3.
