I noticed that some of the built-in playgrounds have a file called LearningTrail.xml, with contents that look like this:
?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?
trail version="1.1" name="0103"
steps
step type="context"
blocks
block type="title"
title id="MfZ-Gx-dNg"What’s An Action?/title
/block
block type="image" source="content-whats-an-action" height="0.75"
description id="AcK-pe-jkX"A snail with four circles above it, showing the snail can scale, move forward and back, rotate, and fade in and out./description
/block
block type="text"
text id="jYg-QZ-KMx"In addition to animations, you can also scale, move, rotate, and fade your models using actions./text
/block
block type="buttons" alignment="trailing"
button href="@nextStep" symbol="arrow.right.circle.fill"
text id="BMD-jU-Xiz"Ready?/text
/button
/block
/blocks
/step
... lots more
The result looks like this: image link - https://github.com/aheze/DeveloperAssets/blob/master/IMG_5DAB4F43BA78-1.jpeg
I can't find any documentation on this... will this be considered a private API? Are we allowed to make our own LearningTrail for our Swift Student Challenge submission?

I have a DragGesture set up like this:
let drag = DragGesture(minimumDistance: 0)
.onChanged { _ in
print("changed")
}
.onEnded { _ in
		print("ended")
}
content.gesture(drag) /// content is the View that I'm adding the gesture to
This works fine with just one finger. However, once I press down with a second finger, .onEnded is never called.
Is there a way to allow only one finger for the gesture?
I've seen similar issues here - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60253490/swiftui-detect-draggesture-cancellation-when-ipad-dock-is-pulled-up and here - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58807357/detect-draggesture-cancelation-in-swiftui, but they didn't work for me.
I'm using @UIApplicationDelegateAdaptor to detect if the user launched the app by pressing a home screen quick action, like this:
import SwiftUI
class AppDelegate: NSObject, UIApplicationDelegate {
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey : Any]? = nil) -> Bool {
if let shortcutItem = launchOptions?[UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey.shortcutItem] as? UIApplicationShortcutItem {
if shortcutItem.type == "com.example.ExampleApp.exampleAction" {
print("Action Pressed!")
}
}
return true
}
}
@main
struct SwiftUI_AppApp: App {
@UIApplicationDelegateAdaptor(AppDelegate.self) var appDelegate
var body: some Scene {
WindowGroup {
ContentView()
}
}
}
This seems to work fine, but how can I notify ContentView that the user had pressed a quick action?

At 15:55 in the session, how to display the multicolor version of the symbol was shown for NSImage.
But how can I display a multicolor symbol using SwiftUI's Image or UIKit's UIImage?
Normally, in an app that needs access to the camera, I would: make a view with some explanation of what the camera is used for, along with a button to ask for permissions.
when pressed, this button will bring up the system popup (with another short description) for accepting camera permissions.
But for app clips, should I directly bring up the system popup and skip the view with the explanation? I know that the system popup can contain a description as well, but when it pops up all of a sudden, the user might accidentally click "Don't Allow".

Whenever I link to URLs containing a '%' (percent symbol) in the Forums, a '25' is automatically added after each of them.
Example: original URL
https://github.com/zjohnzheng/DeveloperAssets/blob/master/Shot%202020-06-19%20at%201.09.00%20PM.png
becomes
https://github.com/zjohnzheng/DeveloperAssets/blob/master/Shot%25202020-06-19%2520at%25201.09.00%2520PM.png
when clicked, resulting in a 404.
I don't have any web development experience but I think this bug is due to percent encoding (Wikipedia says - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-encoding#Character_data '%' is a reserved character, and is encoded as... '%25').

I made a particle system attached to a base (a cylinder node) in the SceneKit editor. Screenshot - https://github.com/zjohnzheng/DeveloperAssets/blob/master/Shot%202020-06-19%20at%201.09.00%20PM.png
I then added it to the root node of the sceneView's scene via a hit test. I'm using ARWorldTrackingConfiguration.
/* crossHairPoint is the 2D point where I want to place the particle */
let results = sceneView.hitTest(crossHairPoint, types: .existingPlaneUsingExtent)
if let hitResult = results.first {
let particleScene = SCNScene(named: "art.scnassets/lights.scn")!
let rootNode = particleScene.rootNode
rootNode.position = SCNVector3(
x: hitResult.worldTransform.columns.3.x,
y: hitResult.worldTransform.columns.3.y,
z: hitResult.worldTransform.columns.3.z
)
sceneView.scene.rootNode.addChildNode(rootNode)
}
Then, I would like to be able to move the particle system + cylinder when I drag it.
Hit testing works if I tap the base of the particle system (the cylinder), but hit testing the particle system itself doesn't work. Any suggestions?
let hitNodeResults = sceneView.hitTest(location, options: [SCNHitTestOption.searchMode: 1])
/* `searchMode` is from this Stack Overflow answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/50109757
It's supposed to be able to hit multiple nodes and objects even when in front or behind of each other */
for hitResult in hitNodeResults {
/* ... never gets called when I tap the particle system */
}
I also tried wrapping the particle system in its own node, but it didn't work.
