This is really a post (dig at) to the SwiftUI designers. I have been a developer in many many different languages for far too many years. Over the last 20 I have done a lot of web (browser) development. From the web developer perspective, developing applications that behave correctly in any browser has been a really big thing for probably more than 20 years. I even remember doing it in tables. We are now at a stage where it does work now (mostly). Frameworks like Twitter Bootstrap work really well and so do a lot of others. Their basic mission is that a page (view) will work no matter what the resolution (even those we don’t have yet) in an ever changing ‘view’ world. Yet I now come to SwiftUI… Lots of tell us your device and get your graphic designer to produce a zillion graphics for each (noting he / she isn’t a fortune teller, so they do not know what’s coming next. After playing for days with GeometryReader and UIScreen.main.bounds (hell will that even be supported in the future) I’m not impressed. I don’t understand why something that has been analysed and pretty much put to bed in the ‘web’ world is now attempting to be reinvented really really really really badly. I even attempted to fix this issue with UIKit but even that wasn’t much better.  Why is a company with so much money and so many resources trying to reinvent the wheel? I don’t get it. So much so I’m starting to tell my clients (big ones) to ditch Apple and go down far easier roots. I doubt any of the SwiftUI compiler developers even read this stuff. But hey if you do, it’s time for a reality check… If they don’t ha ha ha ha I rest my case.

How to get upload progress when using: let (data, urlResponse) = try await urlSession.upload( for: urlRequest, from: bodyData, delegate: nil // Something I need here maybe? ) I have tried using: func urlSession( _ session: URLSession, task: URLSessionTask, didSendBodyData bytesSent: Int64, totalBytesSent: Int64, totalBytesExpectedToSend: Int64) { print("fractionCompleted : \(Float(totalBytesSent) / Float(totalBytesExpectedToSend))") } Within the same class but it never fires. I specifically want the async / await capability on the upload. I couldn't get the session.uploadTask to work with the await prefix.
