@troz Maybe? I don’t know … Some of the Xcode stuff is rather annoying.

I guess what I’d normally try in this situation is uninstall the beta, reboot, install a fresh copy of the beta, reboot, then restart the beta copy, and if something goes wrong, restart again and try again 😛

Oh yeah, I also liberally sprinkle this with deleting the whole DerivedData folder since cached modules sometimes seems to interfere with things too … Or at least, that’s what it feels like.

@troz I was able to open an existing macOS playground and run it fine under Xcode 15 beta 3 …

Also tried creating a brand new macOS playground and that too works fine.

@rascalking I ran it for a while on a VPS and it did run without any issues whatsoever. So easy to install too 🙂

The only reason I switched away was because I wanted more features. But that was at least half a year ago. They probably have added a lot more functionality now. I guess I should go look …

@mikaelacaron Does @IceCubesApp support GIFs? I’m using a custom fork of it, on macOS, and with a non-Mastodon server, so this might be a different experience due to multiple different things, but I can’t add GIFs on my version at all. It just shows an error message when I try to drag and drop a GIF in ...

I haven’t explored the code to see what is going on though …

@stevengharris Glad to highlight issues, even though I have no solutions 😛

I found one possible answer but it involves bridging to AppKit as mentioned here:

https://betterprogramming.pub/how-to-access-the-appkit-api-from-mac-catalyst-apps-2184527020b5

Haven’t tried it out yet though. I have small test app set up where I’ve been trying out different things. Haven’t had the chance to try the above approach yet, but if I do figure something out today, will let you know …

@stroughtonsmith Thanks for the answer. I do have that (or similar mechanism) in place but that appears to work only for new launches.

If you close all windows after launching (and saving the frame properly) if you re-launch from the dock icon (where the app itself has not terminated), the new app window appears in the center of the screen instead of the last saved location.

But will try your specific code and get back on this since I might have missed a nuance and maybe your code does work for all cases? I hate to say something doesn’t work without trying it out … So will update once I have tested.

@marksmith Thank you 🙂 Will take a look see …

@trode I used to follow @stroughtonsmith on Twitter but had no idea that he was on the Fediverse 🙂 Thanks for the pointer, Blake!

Has anybody had luck getting a Catalyst app to restore window frame (size & position) after closing all windows of the app and then tapping the dock icon to launch the app again?

If I quit the app and re-launch, it remembers the frame fine using my current mechanism, but if I close all windows and re-launch from dock, it places the app at the default position rather than the previously remembered position.

I got this to work correctly for a #SwiftUI app under macOS after a bit of tinkering but that was using `NSApplicationDelegate` methods. Haven’t had much luck with `UIApplicationDelegate` methods for the Catalyst app so far because my previous method involved using `applicationShouldHandleReopen` which is not there in `UIApplicationDelegate` ….

So wondering if anybody has run into this before and fixed it before I do a deeper dive …

@vyr Oh, cool! Thanks for that 🙂Will look into it … @joforselldev @finestructure

@dimsumthinking Yeah, I couldn’t get my project to even compile with a relationship, if I recall correctly 🙂 So you’re already further ahead than I am …

@dimsumthinking I really couldn’t make relationships work with beta 1. Meant to try again later but have not gone back yet ….

@noim As long as you post about Swift coding sometimes, I’m here to follow 😛

There are certain roles where it’s a joy to watch Murali Sharma act 🙂 Generally, not the ones where he is an out-and-out villain, but the ones where he plays a normal (or more-or-less normal) person ….

I haven’t finished the movie, or even gotten more than 10 minutes in for that matter, but “Stand Up Rahul” (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14806338) feels like a movie where I’m going to really enjoy seeing Murali Sharma’s character ...

@joforselldev Yep 🙂And this is one scenario that I miss all the time when I decide to set up my own instance … As in, this is not the first time I’ve forgotten this particular downside 😛

I love having my own instance since I can customise a lot of things, but missing out on hashtags is one of the big downsides. My instance will sometimes pull a post from a different instance that is like months old because that post matched a hashtag but the post was only federated now because I followed somebody or something ...

Ah well, the joys of tech 😛

@finestructure @QuietMisdreavus

@joforselldev It’ll show you hashtags from your own instance or from people you follow on other instances (and possibly) people they follow. But not all the hashtags out there … if that makes sense? @finestructure @QuietMisdreavus

@brandonhorst I’ll have to give them a look … Not that I’m looking for another recipes app since the wife has settled on one that she likes, but it’s always interesting to see what different devs do with the same idea 🙂

I played around with converting some of my personal apps to VisionOS but after running into a couple of SwiftUI issues, decided to wait for a couple of more VisionOS betas to come through before trying again …
